M. Mayhugh Confirmed.

The Senate has confirmed the nom
nation of Mr.. Mayhugh as agent at
the Duck Valley Indian reservation.
His friends at Wash ington have al
lowed no grass to grow under their
feet and have completely out-gener-
aled the Republicans of the State
who hoped to defeat the nomination
in the Senate il they failed in having
it Withdrawn by the President. His
friends evidently feared that the eyes
OF the President and the Republican
Senators would be opened if the COZ
tirmation was delayed and rushed it
through while they we're in blissful
ignorance of the political character of
the appointment. In this they show
ed good judgement and won a home
run. ..
The INDEPENDENT does not believe
that President Mckinley would have
made the appointment had he been
fully acquainted with the political
standing of Mr.. Mayhugh aud his
course in the last campaign. He was
evidently deceived or else the APP
pointment was made in fuIfinment of
the bargain by which the Nevada
Sen ators voted for the Dlngley bill
in return for the small pickings of
federal patronage in Nevada. If the
President was deceived, those who
deceived him win probably get the
CLASSY eye hereafter and the other ap-
pointments in the State will go to the
Republicans.
The appointment OF Mr.. Mayhugh
was bitter pill to the Republicans,
but his confirmation by the Senate
before their protests could be heard
is more bitter still. They will have
to swallow it, however, and look as
pleasant as possible. 1t is hard to
lick the foot that kicks you, but it is
dollars to doughnuts that the Repub-
licaD Office seeking contingent of
Nevada will do the licking act and
vow that they Like it.
Secure IN the title to his office Mr..
Mayhugh winl:s one eye at his late
political brethren and keeps the other
riveted on the fat piece of pie await
ing him on the Presidential counter.
For four long, weary years he will eat
OF the pie given him by President
Mckinley while his late political
brethren wander in the slough Of de-
spondeDcy and study the Macy ways
Of Nevada politics.

Interesting Experience OF an Indian
apOlis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
that their nerves are to blame and are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicine and spring remedies;
the real seat Of the mischief is lost
sight Of; the stomach is the organ to
be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any Of the usual
symptoms Of stomach weakness. Ner-
yous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipatsd,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and uppe.

ris'ngs and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper OF No. 81 Pros
pect ST., Indianapolis. Ind. writes as
follows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few iues
regarding the new and valuable med
icine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1
have been sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used various patent medicines
and other remedies without any favor
able results. They sometimes gave
temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off,. I attributed
this to my sedentary habits, being a
bookkeepcr with little physical ,exer-
else, but l am glad to state that the
tablets have overcome all these OBJ
stacles, for have gained in flesh,
sleep better and am better in every
way. The above Is written not for
notoriety but is based on actual fact"
Respectfully yours,

1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-

FOR FIRE PROTECTION.
A Volunteer Fire Brigade Organized and Tax
Levy Made.

A volunteer fire company has been
organized in Lewistown, and after
many years steps are being taken
toward some sort of fire protection.
Under the leadership of Judge Nc

tion 1920 and subsequent sections OF
the Political Code, a meeting was
held at the Lewistown hotel Satur-
day evening last to take preliminary
steps toward organization. Those

no :ecision has been made in this
matter. it is proposed to establish
the main station near the Main
street bridge, from which water can
be conveyed four to five squares in
any direction. Another station will
likely be arranged near the head of
Fourth avenue, and as soon as suffi-
cient funds have been accumulated

CATTLE SHIPMENTS HAVE BEGUN.
The Market Opens Fifty Cents Higher Than
Last Year.

The beef market is now fairly
ord-breaking season.
The Fort Benton River Press, al
ways good authority on the beef
market, as well as on wool and
sheep, recently contained the follow
ing anent the present condition and
the prospects,:
"a live stock deal, somewhat out
of the ordinary in it's terms, was
made between two members OF the
Shonkin Stock association last even
ing. One of the parties expressed his
confidence in a good beef market this
season, and offered to take good
Shonkin steers at $3.50 per 100 lbs.
delivered in Chicago. The offer was
taken up by one of the members pres
ent and the transaction closed.
"A local deal in beef steer stock
was the sale of a small outfit of
three and four-year-olds yesterday at
a round price OF $42.50 per head.
1.-The Bloom and Murphy shipment,
sold Monday at $40 and $3.50. re-
spectively, was of strays from across
the line that had been under herd and
on the drive for three weeks prior to
shipping.
"The first northern Montana beef
at Chicago last year was the Bloom
shipment that sold on the market on
Aug.9. The outfit sold on that date
at the following quotations.: 100
pound steers at $3.S5; 1,200-pound
steers at $3.50; and ,2S0-pound steers
at S325. A comparison with these
figures shows that the market opens
this season at a healthy advance.
Beef shipments from the northern
range will be brisk from now on.
Sieben and Brewster will ship 80 cars
from Avoca on Thursday, and %
cars from the same place few days
later.
&c. W. Price, who has just returned
from Chinook, informs the River Press
that the Price, Bloom and Kingsbury
outfits will begin gathering beef ON
Friday, and expect to make their
first shipment on or about Aug. IL.
Last year the first Price shipment
reached Chicago on Aug. 10 and sold
at the following figures: 1,3SO-pound
steers, s.. 40; O-pound steers. $4.l5
On the same date the Kohrs l ,4l6
pound steers sold at 1915.
1.-The Bear Paw pool will begin

choice clip was offered. only four or
five buyers would bid. There has
frequently been wide range in the
bids, but, strangely, the leading buy
ers were always within a fraction of
a cent of one another, while the low
this year secured a pound of the quail
ity of wool for which they went
through the form of making a bid.
Buyers who have been at Billings
and Big Timber have complained OF
unbusiness-like methods in those mar
kets, and the reply of the Great Falls
buyers has invariably been that the
buyers in those markets should get
together like we do here One buyer
has directed the sales here, even scar
ing the growers 40 that they would
not divulge prices. Perhaps next
year the growers will take the tip
and do a little combining in their
own interest. If they had done 80
six weeks ago 20 cents would have
been a common price here, for the
buyers had imperative orders to buy
Montana wool at all that the sea-
board quotations would justify.
They have got it at 4@6 cents less
than they could afford to pay"
Sheep of all kinds are changing
hands rapidly: Among Fergus coun-
ty sales the past week was that of a
bunch of yearling wethers from Levi
Knerr to C. H. Ragland at $3.50, and
/, 100 lambs from Knerr Bros. to the
same party at 50 per head.
Tuesdays Tribune says the wool
market at Great Falls is practically
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-08-10

closed, though about 100000 pounds
remain to be sold. The total receipts
at Great Falls is about seven million
pounds. The late sales of Fergus
county wool were the Balm & Hussey
clip, 20, 900 lbs, to Elliot at 16E. and
that OF the Charles Maloy estate to
Brigham at the same price.

year, the grass on his range being
yet green and making such course
advisable. Last year the first Nc

Aug. 10, when the l ,2OO-pound steers
went at $3.S5 and 1,0i0-pound steers
at S3.
