Gen. Frederick Funston.-The poll

latest hero of the war in the Philippines
Gen. Frederick Funston, of Kansas. They

While he is not likely TO have his name
placed upon either Presidential ticket next

good chance Of coming TO, the United

himself to be brave and courageous man
and deserving of the gratitude of the
American people, irrespective of politics.

FOR ABSOLUTE CONTROL
More Grand Opera House Litiga-
ton Promised.
1T MAY BE SENSATIONAL
Redeemed by John F. Forbis, One of
the Creditors-The Lien Holders
Said to Be Anxious to Get
the Property.

The ownership of the Grand opera
house in Butte is the subject of more
controversy and promised sensational
htlgation. There are number of per-
sons who hold judgment liens against
the property, and some of them are
about to make move to get absolute
control of it. One of the creditors, At
torney John F. Forbis, yesterday re-
deemed the opera house from John
ORourke and ]. 0. Bender two of the
other creditors, by paying to the sheriff
$4,000. Mr.. Forbis had judgment
against the opera house company him
self for $780, and Mr.. ORourke has
one for $1,000 and Mr.. Bender one for
$500. The property was sold under an
execution on Dec. II, 1897, for 81 900,
and was purchased by Silas F. King,
presumably for James A. Murray. The
time for redemption under that sale
expired on the 9th of last November,
and no one redeemed except O'Rourke
and Bender, the Grand Opera House
company itself allowing the matter to
go by default through the neglect or
refusal of the trustees to redeem. The
result is the Grand Opera House COM
pany and it's stockholders lost all right
bis as a Judgment creditor, had 60 days
in which to redeem from O'Rourke and
Bender, and he did so YESTERDAY by
paying to the sheriff $1,000 for them.
If there is not a. further redemption
within so days, Mr.. Forbis will be en-
titled to a deed to the property. 1t was
stated yesterday that an offer had been
made by the Murray interests to pay
off all the judgment liens against the
opera house, but the offer was de-
clined.
I'VE don't care for the money due
US said one of the lien holders yes
terday. What we want now is the
opera house, and / think Wen get it,"
An interesting question will present
itself as to the responsibility and La
bility of the trustees of the company
in all owing the time for redemption
to expire, by which the property,
valued at $4,000 or $4,000 has been
lost to the company and the stockhold-
ers. 1t is understood that ever since
Mr.. Murray has been in sole control of
the house. he has collected all rents
and profits and that the opera house
company and stockholders received
nothing. An offer of $4,000 was re-
Gently made for the house and was re-
fused by Mr.. Murray. and the stock
holders will -Hrobably claim that they
have been damaged to that amount
when they lost the property by the
failure of the trustees to redeem it, in
addition to the loss of the rents and
profits of the house for several years.
There are no other judgment liens
against the opera house. and the re-
demption yesterday by Mr.. Forbis, the
last holder of a lien, has in it the prom
Use of some further sensational litiga-
ton over the property.

A COMPROMISE.
Manslaughter the Verdict in the Conlin
Murder Case.

Murder Case.
Great Falls Jan. 10.-After appealing
to the court twice during the day and
stating that they could arrive. at no
agreement in the case, the jury ap-
appeared this afternoon for the third
time and announced that it had agreed
upon verdict of manslaughter. This
is probably the most CHASTITY attempt
at justice ever meted out in this coun-
ty, and outside of the court the gen
eral verdict of the people was murder
in the first degree, but as limited last
night in these dispatches, there We're
some on the jury, who, after taking
their oath to do their duty, could not
bring themselves to condemn man to
death, and the result was a compro-
mise. The jury, fortunately, sent the
sentence to the court, and it is likely
that so long as there has been miscar-
riage of justice up to this point the
court will do it's best to make amends
by giving the prisoner the full limit
of the law-10 years in the penitentiary.
If Cascade county has many more muir
der cases wherein the result is the same
as that of to-day, the county will rap
idly achieve a reputation as unenviable
as Silver Bows.

Turkish Bath for the Stomach.


New York Telegram to Chicago Trib-
une.
Probably the people who don't know
that they have stomachs will not he
interested in this latest medical iiscov-
cry. But to every one who has ever
had twinge or a pain from indiges-
ton 1t promises quick relief without
medicines.
1t is nothing less than brushing and
washing out the stomach and putting
that organ through a set of gymnastic
exercises. Americas Enfield of Bed
ford, Pa, a member of the medical
board of that state, has written a de-
scription of it for a local paper. The
process is really an internal Turkish
bath. But instead of the bath rubber
applying himself fiercely to the skin
the doctor inserts brush into the
stomach and turns pivot. This sets
up such a whirlwind of bristles that
the stomach's walls are scraped clean
Then a hose is run down to flush it
out, and finally the muscular walls are
set to work like a prize fighter in
training.
Yet in all this astonishing process
in which the stomach is treated as if it
were a leg or arm that could be taken
in the hands and manipulated, the pa
tent sits as tranquil as if being mani
cured. To make the diseased organ
wake up from it's lethargy Mr.. Enfield
forces pure oxygen gas or medicated
air into the stomach. AS the bellows
drives this gas or air into the cavity
the walls of the stomach begin a con-
vulsive movement of expansion and
contraction.
Still another method used is by put
ting a coil of medicated cord into the
cavity. 1t is left till the sides of the
stomach contract about it.
