The Miners of the Rocky Fork Coal Com
pany Quit Work.
The report reached Billings this
morning Of a strike among the miners
Of the Rocky Fork Coal company at
Red Lodge yesterday. Up to the time
of going to press we are unable to veri.
fy the report.
Rees Davis, president of the Red
Lodge Miners union, was last week
discharged from the mines and the ser
vice of the coal company and this is
supposed to have SO incensed the union
that the strike is the result. At the
time Of Davis dismissal the coal COM
pany announced that it was occasioned
purely for neglect Of duty and that his
connection with the union did not
enter into the matter of his discharge.

young men accepted Of the hospitality
of these two estimable ladies.
Reports from Red Lodge say that
Tom Salmon. the man who killed Will
lam O'Connor and who is under sent
ence Of death. is considered the most
brutal villain seen in that country in
many a day. He will be executed in
about three weeks, but this fact does not
seem to have much effect on his con-
duct. He talks fippantly of his ap-
preaching hanging, and his bias
phemous utterances are enough to ter
rify even the hardened criminals in the
Jail. When not abusing visitors, he
sings ribald songs and winds up with
a stream Of profanity that would do
credit to a drunken sailor. He eats
heartily, sleeps soundly and seems not
to borrow trouble ove his impending
fate.
Those who are fortunate to be able
to attend the performance of Black
PATHS Troubadours in this city on Fri
day evening of next week, Jan. Is, may
confidently anticipate a genuine treat.
The company is without question one
OF the best Of its kind organized in this
Or any other country. The ebony
artists who comprise the company have
been selected with rare Judgment and
they offer superb support to Black
Patti, who ranks among the great sing
ers of the age. The performance they
render includes comedy, burlesque,
vaudeville and opera, presented with
magnificent and costly costumes and
appropriate scenery. All the popular
"coon songs and ''buck Dances are
introduced in the first part and the
great operate olio, in which Black
Patti and her glorious voice are i'm
portant factors, embrace selections from
the various standard grand and comic
operas.

The New York Journal says:
Young Mrs Harry Payne Whitney has
created a new fashion,
Her wonderful girdle, which is the talk
of the 400" is the most novel piece of
jewelry which has even been seen in New
York Though In price il represents a for
tune, yet it's chief novelty lies In the fact
that it is a girdle and dress trimming
combined
The girrle came from Europe and has
but recently been presented to Mrs. Whit
ney by her husband. t
1t is of .repousse gold, with nine long
dangling chains holding in their meshss
rare and costly gems. One charm of the
girdle Is that Il hts Mrs Whnney's slen-
der figure as If il were nadesof glistenine
satin instead of cleaning gold
The grdle is cut in points at the top
and bottom, and Il is so deep that. It forms
a perfect corselet. At the sides IL is a
triie lower than 5H thctfront. The fas-
tening is at the left side, but II Is invisible.
This corselet of gold shows a wonderful
ly beautiful raised design of orchids and
leaves most exquisiteiy wrought Alone Il
would be well worth coveting But in its
dangling chains lies Its special novelty.
From each point Of the girdle across the
front and at the sides a chain of Jewels
Is suspended.
These chains vary In length The long
est one falling from the center point. the
shorter ones at the sides. Each chain Is
finished with a sod knob and tassel Of
threads of god.
And the gold chains hold thousands Of
dollars worth of rare gems The center
chain Is studded with whole pearls of rnost
beautiful luster; the largest ones SET TO-
ward the top. On one side Of the chain Of
pearls is a string Of turquoises; on the
other sapphires. The Jewels are set at

How many woman, aching and miserable
moaning in the loneliness of her darkened chamber
has asked that question " Is ii fair ?" But there
is more important question to be asked before that
question which arraigns impartial Nature at the bar
OF reason and that great question is:
IS SUCH SUFFERING NECESSARY
If it can be proved beyond doubt that women
who have suffered in this way have been cured
made sound and whole, their pains banshed never
to return, then it is proved that such suffering is not
necessary for some women. And if again it can be
proved that ninety-eight women out of every hun

disease, have been cured by DIR. Pierce's Favorite

atoms, female weakness, and facilitating drains
then 1t is also proven that such suffering is unneces-
sary to most women. These facts have been proved
and are being proved every day in the practice of
Dr. Pierce and his staff of nearly score of assist
ant physicians. Such letters as the following are
