A MAN
LOST.

Lost No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: 81 was
in the woods going ahead steadily when
realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry of Lost l broke into a run heed
less or ignorant of the direction l was
going"
The first impulse of man lost in the
woods is to run. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
ficult, his limbs feel tremulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like a panther from tree, the thought
leaps on him, "You are a lost man. "
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.
Disease in almost any form is gem
orally accompanied by the failure of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. Re-
establish these organs in healthy action
the blood is at once enriched, the body
nourished and the general health re-
stored. This result is invariably ac-
complished by DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. II is stomach-strength-
ening, nerve-nourishing, muscle-making,

His New Name.

- FTER what was said. yesterday,
n before that North American
humbug known as the board Of
inquiry. II is probable that General
shafter will pass into history as old
Military Necessity. Shafter uses these
words as descriptive of the scairold
that had to be built in order to get him,
because of his govt. mounted and ready
for what little of the fray he took
part in when our army was before San
tiago.
IL is Skaters testimony that the
campaign was well managed-the
country has known that Shafter has
always been OF that opinion. He testi-
e yesterday that. under the circum-
stances. things went pretty well in the
Santiago campaign and that, as the
phrase goes. there's no kick coming.
The fact remains that the body OF
American citizens is OF the opinion
that Shafter was a woeful failure. Tbs
records will show that. IL his plan had
been followed. our army would have
cut and run and that a retreat would
have been ordered that wou undoubt-
eddy have been an invitation to the
Spaniards TO come out from their in
trenchments and sweep our forces into
the sea. A benign and singularly time
~ providence saved Shafter. At the

vera was ordered 20 get his fleet out Of
the harbor OF Santiago. He obeyed the
order and he saved the day for Us.

The Right e

- HOSE who know Senator Man
tie are aware that. to all ap-
pearance, the outcome OF the
November election was not greatly TO
this taste. For some reason or other,
abe senator reached the conclusion that
che turn things took at the polls was
not in silver's interest. Not many
friends OF free coinage inc in the re-
-eults OF the recent election any a
rant for this conclusion; indeed. there
sappears to be. all along the silver line.
"a good, strong. earnest will TO push the
fight harder than ever.
Senator Mantle carried his Respondent
mood with him to Washington. lie
spoke about the outlook In rather
lsnournfui measures when he was In
sChicago. In one of this mornings spe-
cial dispatches TO the Standard he Is
quoted rs having said that the result of
sthe election Is a distinct disappoint-
ment in the West" and that "the sill
: yer republicans and ~populists in the
leaders of the democracy are gradually
dropping the silver issue"
The results OF the elections are not
q distinct disappointment TO the people
of the w~est-Senator Mantle Is mistak-
IN when he expresses that opinion: the
spreading Of his views in the region Of
Chicago hurts silver there and mis-
states the situation here. There is moth
lng in the election outcome In Senate
Nantes own state that should serve
40 discourage any true friend OF free
coinage. In view OF the circumstances
that prevailed here and OF the side is
sues that were forced into the cam
paign. the Montana result was a Jhor-
oughiy gratifying success for silver.
With the result there is no fault to be
found-a handsome triumph for free
coinage in 1900 il assured.
That is the fact about Montana and.
essentially. as to the West. As for the
East, the vigorous talk OF Governor
Stone. of Missouri. which Is a part of
ehIs mornings Chicago special dispatch
10 the Standard. is a sufficient reply to
Senator Mantle's comments respecting
Democracy to the east OF the Rocky
Mountain region.

Ii Is I'm Court.

- UTE smoke can penetrate any
IA precinct-it is no respecter OF
place or person. II has managed
1T length to get into the Silver-Bow
court house and Its presence has com
manded attention there. That is for.u-
nate-the hope entertained by the Butte
public Is that good will come OF Il.
There is universal approval OF Judge
Lindsay's action In taking up the smoke
question. While citizens have been
standing back. waiting for something
60 happen and wondering whence relief
was TO come. the courts order has been
issued and the belief is that good re-
suits will follow. The public has only
the views of laymen 20 go by. but the
public view is that a nuisance is a nuis-
ance wherever mad manifest. When
q nuisance In the yard of a citizen Is
detrimental TO the health and comfort
of other citizens. the law compels that
ritizen TO abate the nuisance. The law
makes no distinction In favor OF smelt-
ing companies and when they create a
nuisance the law requires that they
nbate II.
The people OF Butte would cheerfudy
endure any endurable quantity OF
smoke this winter IL they had reason
20 believe that one year from now the
smoke problem would be solved and
pure air could be depended on thence
forward. 1t is surely the duty Of the
smeIting companies so to operate their
