Cold In the South.

Writing last week from Toccoa, Ca, j.
Warren Newton, gives some interesting
facts regarding the recent "cold snap" in
Georgia, He says: February IA the ther
mometer WAS three degrees below zero, and
the next morning IL was seven above.
These are all the really bad days we have
had. There was about four inches OF snow.
Fortunately We have very comfortable
house and plenty OF good wood, and best OF
all we know how to take care Of ourselves
and keep ont the cold, but it was quite try.
ing for all that. But three cold days In a
year is not bad record, and we have been
here a year. Now 1t is like the end OF April
in Vermont.

Why We're Napoleon and King
Richard Beaten?

Napoleon had nerves OF steel at Auster-
litz and dyspepsia at Waterloo. King Rich
ard suffered the agonies OF insomnia the
night before he met Richmond on the fatal
field OF Bosworth. IL health, low vitality
nervous and physical exhaustion are always
the causes OF lack of success in whatever
you undertake. Weak nerves, low vitality,
female complaints, insomnia and despon-
dency prevent women from attaining their
object in life, in work or society, or fulfill
ing their duties as wife, mother and home
maker. Nervous debility, shattered nerves
and physical exhaustion from overwork, in
discretions and excesses stand az a stum-
bling block in the path of success for men.
Absolutely the only hope of attaining sue
cess in life lies in getting back your health,
and you can do so II you adopt the right
means. You have perhaps tried to get well
and failed. Simply because you have not
used the right means. You have taken
drugs and poisons which have done you no
good. Why do you not use the wonderfully
curative harmless vegetable medicines of
DIR. Greene "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
discoverer of that grand restorative known
and used all over the world, DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy? This
is but one OF the many marvellous cures for
different complaints and conditions OF dis
ease which DR.. Greene has discovered, and
the fact that he is regular physician, q
skilled and experienced specialist in the
treatment ana cure OF all lOrms OF nervous
chronic and lingering complaints enables
him to perfectly understand your disease
and prescribe his health-restorng medicines
to cure. Consultation, examination and sd
vice are given to all absolutely free OF
charge. You are welcome to call, or II no,
convenient, write him fully and freely
about your case and in perfect confidence
1t costs you nothing to consult him and
find out all about your complaint, and we
assure you that you will be cured II you
will adopt this treatment by harmless veget
able medicines.

very lively. The hall and galleries were
we'll filed when Mayor Senter called the

best it could.

No NEW SMALLPOX CASES.
THE THREATENED EPIDEMIC HAS
BEEN CHECKED.

No new cases of smallpox We're re-
ported to the health authorities today,
and DR.. Alexander, president of the city
board of health, informed an Inter-
Mountain reporter this afternoon that
he believed the threatened epidemic had
been checked.
The Rocker quarantine was raised yes
terday afternoon, in accordance with tine
orders of DR.. Monroe, all smallpox pa
tients at that place having recovered suf-
fciently, in the doctors opinion to justify
this action.
Misses O'Donne and Downey of Wal
kerville, who have probably suffered more
and been in greater danger than any
other smallpox patients since Walcott's
death, are now entirely out of danger and
are rapidly recovering.
Two suspicious cases We're reported to
Sanitary Inspector Cronin about 3 O'Clock
this afternoon. He declined to state The
locality of he cases until they had been
investigated, but said he did not believe
the cases to be smallpox.

During the Past Few Days,
It Is Reported.

Is Looked Forward to as a Good

Some British Officers,

London, Nov. 14.-That General Whites
relief is considered a matter of pressing
Importance is again evinced by the sat
isfaction with which officials heard of
the arrival of the troopship Port Arme-
MAN at Capetown yesterday, a couple
of days before her time. The non-arri-
val of her precious freight of field guns
and ammunition threatened serious de-
lay in General Methune's arrangements
for the relief Of White. The division
still lacks cavalry but in all probability
the first arrival Of hat arm at Capetown
will be sent to Durham, irrespective of
which division they were originally as
signed to.
There is no doubt the bombardment of
Ladysmith has increased in intensity
during he last few days and though all
messages from there speak of confidence
of the defenders a load of anxiety will
pc removed from the country when UNI
restrained communication with the be-
leagured men is re-established.
Considerable feeling has been aroused
by the announcement that Sir VIM. But
Ter, former commander at the Cape, will
not command the troops on the occasion
Of the queens visit to Bristol tomorrow.
AS Butler commands the western dis
trict his absence from the ceremony is
remarkable and is attributed to fears Of

code or otherwise except messages to the
governor of Portuguese East Africa and

a Mrs. Hammer and another Otto klemm,

bank Of Dillon. He said on the witness
stand ne had held that position nineteen
years. He knew Callahan's reputation
for truth and veracity. 1t was no good.
AS to Mrs. Galatians reputation for

ned that Callahan's reputation for truth,
honesty and integrity was bad. lie would

THE WELCOME
DEFENSE OUTLINED,
Special to the Inter Mountain.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Helena. Nov. n.-Wellcome's counse
in the disbarment proceedings outlined
their proposed line Of defense this after
noon. Senator Hoffman was called to
the stand and asked preliminary ques-
tions, after which he was asked ID define
what he had termed the "Daly crowd
in the legislature.
This question aroused a vigorous pro-
test from the attorney general. who OBJ
jected to such evidence as lmmaterial.
E. G. Day. for the defense, said such
evidence was to- show that for years a
political element in Montana, known as
the witness Hoffman called it the "Daly
crowd figured prominently in Montana
politics that it cUnspired to defeat Clark
in 1898, and again in 1893; that this fac
ton had it's personal representatives in
the last legislature; that Whitestde con
spirel with the faction .Nior to spring.
ing his sensation: that Marcus Daily
knew all about it before Whiteside made
his "expoau1e:" that the DAILY faction
planned in advance to have an investi-
eating committed appointed, knew how
it would report, and that the report was
but .he elimination of a vast scheme
having i'm view the defeat of Clark.
The court allowed the witness to
answer. Hoffman defined as the "Daly
crowd those opposed to the election Of
Mr.. Clark. He reviewed the session of
1893 and named the anti-Clark demo-
Gratis who held out as belonging to the
rule or ruin faction, then the ak of the
battle tive the two forces at Mis-
soula in 1896 and related the proceedings
of the Anaconda convention. He gave his
version of the alleged bribery exposure
as but a trick of the "Daly crowd"
Senator Hoffman's cross-examination,
conducted by Nolan, was attentively list
ened to by a large number of spectators
who enjoyed hearing a verbal duel be-
tween the two representative men of the
opposing democratic factions.

Date of the Wreck.

Washington, Nov. 14.-There is a dis
crepancy in the date of the wreck of the
Charleston as given in Admiral Watson's
message and in the press dispatches. 1t
is probable that the 18th instant is cor
rect and Watson's dispatch was confused
in transmission. There was some sur
prise expressed that SO long a time had
elapsed since the wreck before the news
of the fact reached the navy Department
1t appears, however, this delay was in
evitable, owing to the isolated position
of the wreck.
Kama gum island is a small island lying
about north of Apparai. which is the
Q northeiiy port on the island of
Luzon. It is distant about $50 miles from
I-ingayan gulf, where are stationed the
nearest of the warslips Of Watson's
fleet.
Watson appears to have acted at once
upon the receipt of the news, for he in
formed The navy department that ne
cabled Hong Kong to secure the help Of
experienced wreckers, to proceed at once
to the scene Of the wreck. The navy de-
rartment has already a constructor on
the ground in the person Of Lieutenant
HobsOn, who may be called upon to as
sumo charge Of the Wrecking operations.
"A careful reading Of the cablegram Of
Watson convinces the officials hat there
is a fair chance of saving the Charleston.
They say the name of the ship Is painted
abot three or four feet below the rail.
This is an indication that the main deck
is above water. which would make the
work of pumping out the hull much
easier. If she settled down aft, as re-
ported, there is less danger Of injury to
the bottom further by pounding. Much
depends, however, on the weather, as
the wreck lies i'm the full sweep of mon
soons, which prevail at this season. For
the safety of officers and crew not the
slightest apprehension exists.
The Helena must already have reached
the islarvd, which is about a days run
from. L..neayen, and with the Oregon,
which followed closely. must have re-
moved the Charleston's crew several
days ago.
AS soon as possible q court of inquiry
will be called ta fix the responsibility for
the Wrecking of the ship. This will fol-
low irrespective of any action of the
navy department, and will be ordered by
Watson. Should it appear that it was
caused hv the Ms gligen"e Of any Of the
CharieSton's cfficersN q court martial will
follow the inquiry, but IN View of the ex-
ceedingly dangerous character of / he
north coast of Luzon ard tho lack of
necessary az to navigation. it is not
believed probable any OF the officers Will
be found severely cenSurahle.
