DONT'S FOR M

Don't call at any house just before
luncheon or dinner time. If possible,
make an arrangement by letter, so
you will be expected on n given date
and hour.
"Don't," said a clever author, ring

invited, especially in the EVENING"" I'M
cercmonious calls arc often embar-
RAISING.
Don't write on ruled paper; only
children and interiors use it, and yet
there is a marked improvement even in
this class.
Don't use highly colored note paper
or a ragged-edge stationery, which is
sometimes called "aristocratic.' The
English, of good quality, is considered
the best for writing purposes, the big
envelope taking precedence of the
small.
Don't write a sprawling hand. Let
your letters be we'll formed, and above
all don't affect n penmanship of I'M
usual size; anything but an atfectation
in handwriting. The old-fashioned
hand was a model of clearness and
style.
Don't use postal cards except on
business; then say as little as pos
sible, and to the point. A postal card
is not intended for n private COM
munication.
Don't fail to ncquaint yourself with
the literature of the day. In this age
women are expected to converse on all
subjects. even without being a "blue
stocking."-American Queen.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iDfiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf.
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination car be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

SENATOR TELLER'S ADVICE.

The Silver Republicans of Nevada
who threaten to go back to their old
party associations in case a fusion Of
all the elements favorable to silver is
made in this State this fall, should
read and ponder over the following
interview with Senator Teller. He is
loyal to the silver cause and will have
nothing to do with the party that
places the spoils of Office above prin-
ciple. His sound advice applies to
Nevada as we'll as Colorado and
should strike a responsive chord in,
the heart Of every man who believes in
the restoration of the white metal to
it's former place in II monetary sys-
tenn. 1t is very pertinent to the con.
time:
al believe it to be the duty Of
the friends of silver to unite on a
state ticket composed of the true and
tried friends Of that metal. 1 think
the Democrats. Populists and Silver
Republicans should be willing to con-
fer with each other md to put in
nomination a ticket that all a sup
port. | am opposed to a fusion or 81
Corporation with the Mckinley Re-
publicans and, so far as [ am con
cerued, | will not DO a party to such
cooperation, either public or O
cealed.
IL want the Mckinley party to put
up ii ticket and support it. / want
no help from that party or any mem
bers Of it. The Mckinley adminis-
tration is a gold standard admipistra-
ton and Mr.. Gage, in his efforts to put
the country mor thoroughly on the
gold stand rrd. is in full accord with
the president and every member of
hiH cabinet.
II do not think that any sill mai
shoull aid to put that party in power,
either nationally or locally, for that
is the party we must contend with in
1900. l have no candidate for any
position, and / am fully determined
not to support any man for a high or
low Office who does not make the sill
yer question the vital one in his poll
tics.
Il RIO not think that any man can
claim to be ii silver man who sup
ports the professed policy Of the Re-
publican party. Not ouly is the adj
miristration committed to the gold
standard, but all the Republican state
and congressional conventions de-
clared for the gold standard.
"Fusion with the Mckinley party
or support of its adherents is incon-
sistent with repeated declaration
that the silver question is the great
question i'll American politics. We
declined to support Mckinley liz 1896
because we did not believe in the
Republican platform. If we are con-
sistent we will refuse to support now
any and every man who supported
that platform in 1896, or does so now.
Every u that justified us in re-
fusing to support him in 1896 justi.
ttes US in refusing to support any
member Of his party now.
This is not "a question Of personal
likes or dislikes but ono Of principle,
and mean to adhere to my decision
made in 1896 after much thought,
and 1 have never for one moment re-
GREETED that [ refused to support
Mckinley and did support Bryan.
IL do not intend to support a gold
standard man in 1900 and do intend
to support a friend Of silver, and [
hope it may be William j. Bryan"

1t is a pretty hard matter to guess
whether the dog wagged the tail or the
tail wagged the dog at the silver re-
publican and populist conventions at
Deer Lodge yesterday. At any rate
there was some wagging and Ii seems
that the populists got the best of the
wag.
The republicans went away from An
aconda with a slate that could not pos
sibly be broken. They were primed with
an ultimatum to the populists, which
specified in the most exac terms just
what the %populists were going To get
on a division of offices. They were to
get that and no more. The populists
were to have two men on the legislative
ticket. and they were to have the coun-
~ clerk and recorder, and a couple
Of the minor offices. Under no Circum-
stances were the populists To have more
than two members of the legislature
and under no circumstances were they
To get the county attorney. which was
reserved for a staunch and tried repub-
lican. John w. James.
But when the two parties got down
TO Deer Lodge. the populists did a lit
tie business in the ultimatum line
themselves. They knocked the republic
can slate into bits. and they got not
only half of the legislative ticket, but
also the county attorney, the county
clerk and recorder. with the county
surveyor thrown in to balance up the
ticket.
But that is not all. The populists
didn't nominate a %populist for county
attorney, but they made the republic
cans swallow one Of their own mem
bers. who had not been on the slate at
all.
The republicans left Anaconda as
lions. They would show the populists
what was what. and likewise show the
Lesser faction of the republican party
what was what. but they did neither.
AS soon as things got started at Deer
Lodge the two conventions appointed
conference committees. To max the
republican side appear the stronger OF
the two. the republicans put seven men
on their conference committee, while
the pops had but five. The committees
conferred from 1920 to 1886, but could
come to no agreement.
The populists at first wanted hair the
legislative ticket. the sheriff, the coun-
~ attorney, the county clerk and re-

by Chairman T. c. Lane of Anaconda.
The minutes of the last regular meet

read by Secretary Charles Lannin.
After a slight alteration was made they
were adopted.
on motion il was decided that where
only one delegate or alternate was
present from a precinct, he be allowed
10 cast the full vote of his precinct.
Mr.. Schwend said he made the motion
i'm order to allow the outside precincts
a full vote in the convention and to
