WHY Low VITALITY is DANGEROUS

Low vitality, bad blood and shattered
nerves are the cause of a majority of dis
eases that affect mankind Nervous ex-
haustion in both men and women is the
evil of the age, and tax the skill of the
greatest medical specialists. Ordinary
practitioners make no serious pretence to
the successful treatment Of such cases.
DR.. Greene, the leading specialist in cur
ing nervous and chronic diseases, invites
free consultation in all cases of chronic
and lingering complaints. DIR. Greene Is
especially DESTROYS of being consulted In
cases that others have failed to cure. His
Office is "a Temple place, Boston, Mass,
and he makes no charge for consultation
and advice. If II Is not convenient to call
write DR.. Greene a letter describing your
symptoms. and you VIII receive a prompt
and satisfactory reply.

THE CONREY PLACERS.

A representative of the Madisonian
visited the Conrey placers at the mouth
of Alder gulch on Tuesday n found 1T
to be a Very busy camp. 1t was a strange
sight to see some twenty or more snip
carpenters at work building a dredge
over 100 miles inland.
The Chicago Mining and Development
under the management Of Mr..
Fellows, have their dredge, the Mollie
Gibson, nearly completed. If they have
no delays they expect to start the boat
dredging by the first of June. The Mollie
Gibson dredge is built by the Bucyrus
Dredge company Of Milwaukee, and is
ia feet long by Sc feet wide and about
50 feet high from the keel to the pilot
house, drawing only four feet of water.
The power will be furnished by four 25-
horsepower boilers. When completed it
will only require a force of five men on
the day shift and four at night. They
expect to move over an acre of ground
per month, providing the bedrock is not
more than thirty feet deep.
The work on the large dredge being
built under the direction of Mr.. Jerry
Puyria for the Conrey Placer company
is progressing very rapidly. 1t is 100
feet by A. feet and about 80 feet high,
the depth Of the hull being Z feet. The
pattern of the two dredges is practi-
cally the same. The Conrey people ex-
pect to float their dredge about August

A deal was c~onsummated in Butte yes

secured possession Of the Schwizer claim.
the consideration stated being in the
~neighborhood of $751; 600.
The Schwizer is located north OF the
Anaconda, west of the Parnell and east
of the Nipper, the two latter claims now
being owned by Mr.. Heinze. 1t is in a
splendid locality and has been bonded at
various times for large sums, the last
bond being held by r. j. Watson, who
sunk a shaft several hundred feet in
depth.
The Schwizer was located in the early
days by Jessie Glidden who lost his life
in the Centennial hotel fire. In 1888
Michael Carroll, then superintendent OF
the Anaconda, relocated it, but the work
Of representation was performed 10 feet

BUFFALO HUMP.

r.. D.. Leggatt has returned from an
extended trip to Idaho, during which he
spent some time in the Buffalo Hump
country and several days at his w
placer property near Elk City. Mr.. Leg
gait says that the rush to the Buffalo
Hump is only beginning although hun
dreds are arriving daily. There are pros
pectors on every hill side and all with
good outfits too, which CAV him the i'm
preston that the prospectors were of the
better class and fully determined to
search the hills thoroughly. Several new
and promising prospects were being open
ed up and Mr.. Leggatt says he was shown
some very rich specimens Of ore from that
country. AS to it's future, however, he
did not care to express an opinion. al
though judging from what he had seen
he was very favorably impressed.

said Mr.. Leggatt, but it has double the

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDED.

The body of Vesta, wife Of the Rev. J.. J.
McAllister Of Missoula, was shipped for
burial last night to Fargo, Dakota. Rev.
Mr.. McAllister, his son Claude, Mrs.
Stevens the mother and Mrs. McCulluch
the sister Of the deceased, accompanied
the remains.
Mrs. McAllister died in Missou!a on
May 24-thc anniversary of her birth, A
years ago. Funeral services We're con-
Quoted at Missoula yesterday, Rev. w.
w. Van Orsdel presiding, assisted. by
Revs. G. Fl. Feese, and Stivers and Hayes
of Missoula. The singing was very i'm
Dressive, the selections being the favor
lite hymns of the deceased including How
Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the
Lord" and I'VE are Going Home to Die
no More" The floral decorations were
very elaborate, the ribntes from the pri-
mary department Of the Sabbath school,
of which the deceased had charge being
especially fine. Other offerings Were from
the Presbyterian inc other churches, the
x. II. Commandery, Order of Artisans and
many other organizations and private
individuals.
The text was one very appropriate to
such a beautiful life, being from Mark
JAS "She had lone what she could." The
words were used by the Savior commend
ing the act of Mary, one of His disciples,
in breaking an alabaster box of precious
ointment, which she poured upon the Sa-
vior preparatory to His death. The
speaker said the words were beautifully
illustrated by the consistent, conscientious
and consecrated life of the deceased.
After the above thoughts were en-
phasized, special reference was made to
the life of the departed. She was mar
ricd to MIR. McAllister Sept. Z, 1872, at
Crotin. Mich. He Joined the Michigan
conference at which Bishop Wiley now OF
sainted memory presided, and with his
companion started out on his life work.
Three children were born to them. Claude
and Rey are still living, the other having
passed on before.
When IL years of age she had united
with the NJ. f. church of which she was a
most devoted member and successful
pastors wife. She was specially active
in the preparatory department of the Sab
oath school,, Epworth league and as a
member Of the choir.
Her brother Leslie Stevens was SUPER
i%ntendent of the Central Chinese Missions
and died in China about o u years ago.

INVESTIGATING
SHIELDS DEATH
IN. Man Died From Natural
Causes.
NO EVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE
The Deceased Frequently Complained
Of Pains IN the Back-N0
Other Ailment.
NO EVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE

The death of Edward Shields resulted

dict of the jury, which at Coroner JUL

nesday evening. when he complained to
the witness of pains in his back. About
4 O'Clock Thursday afternoon witness
went to Shields room and found him
dead. Everything was in good order in
the ROOM, and there was nothing which
would indicate that the deceased had
committed suicide. Witness had heard
Shields complain of pain in his back for
many years, but never heard him COM
plain Of heart rouble.

titled that he saw Shields go to bed about

also contributed the invention of the

A VAIL FROM LONDON,

Messrs. William Sargent & Co, Lon
don, in their report on copper dated May
5, say: Transactions on this market
have been much smaller than usual, n
the ordinary consumers business has
been stagnant. Nevertheless, prices have
risen. The fact is that for a time at least
the merits of copper as an article of mer-
chandise are obscured, or rather wilfully
put out of sight, and copper quotations
are being worked up in order to assist
the most enormous gamble in copper
shares that has ever taken place. If pos
sible, the public is to be fleeced unmerci-
fully.

Powers of Education and Idea Forces
by Mary Stackpole, read by Miss Ida Hill
lis
':There are two theories of education
which have been held by our most famous
educators. One is that it is the sole end
of man as an intellectual, aesthetic and
moral being: the other is that the test Of
education is it's practicability in life's
business and toll. The watchword of the
one is culture! of the other utility.
The funda mental question which pre-
sents itself to us in the discussion of the
power of education is What is mans
chief end in the present life?' We would
say, The perfection of man by means Of
education The mind is the supreme hui
man fact, and its perfection is mans SUI
preme personal duty.
Education unites man to nature, to
society and to God; to nature that he
may discover her laws; to society thai
he may eradicate her evils, improve her
condition, and receive her protection; to
God that he may be sustained, guided.

Peace Reirns In Pana.

PANA, Ills, June 3O.-The departure
of the state troops and the closing of the
mines has resulted in a complete restora-
ton of peace in Pana. Last night was
without doubt the quietest that Pana
citizens have experienced since the
strike began, April 1, 1898. Agents of
mining companies in Missouri, Kansas
and Texas succeeded in employing $50
negroes, whom they furnished free
transportation, they leaving for Bevier,
Mo-, and other western striking miners
camps to take the places Of union min
ers. They carried four coaches, and on
passing the topworks Of the Pana Coal
company opened fire upon the offices
and mine buildings, doing considerable
damage.
