Power of Imagination.

A Kansas paper says that a young
doctor recently took his best girl 10
the theater. The curtain was late
in rising, and the young woman
complained of feeling faint. inc
doctor smiled sweetly upon her,
took something out OF his vest pocK-
ct and whispered to her to keep
the tablet in her mouth, but not
to swallow it She shyly placed 1t
on her tongue and rolled it over ana
over, but it would not dissolve; she
felt better, however. So when the
show was oyer she slipped the tab
let in her glove, being curious to
examine at home this tasteless, IN
dissoTuble little substance which
had given her such relief IN the
opera house. When alone IN her
reom, she pulled Oft her glove and

DEATH RATE GROWING.

Doctors Attribute 1t to What We Eat.
The constantly increasing num-
Der of deaths from stomach trou-
bles is exciting the keenest inter-
est among the medical fraternity,
The prevalence Of these stomach
disorders or ailments the doctors
attribute largely to impure food
products with which the country
at large seems to be flooded, and
in an attempt to counteract which
many of the states have enacted
pure food laws. The fact of the
matter is the people of the Uuited
States are, as rule. too careless
and Indifferent as to what they eat
or how it is cooked, and the inev-
table penalty of disordered stom-
achs is the result. One of the
authorizations that is most serious
in it's effects is the use of alum to
whiten bread or to furnish cheap
baking powder. 1t destroys the
coating of the stomach, produces
dyspepsia, and eventually poisons
the blood. Try piece of alum in
your mouth and note the result.
| No stomach into which it enters
can long remain healthy.

Du Maurier's Limitations.

II there had been no Charles
Keene "a terrible supposition both
for Punch and its readers), should
have done my best to illustrate the
lower walks and phases of London
existence, which attract me q much
as any other. 1t is just as easy to
draw costermonger or a washer
woman as it is gentleman or lady
perhaps little easier-but it is by
no means SO easy to draw them as
Keene did. and to draw a cab or an
omnibus, after him, though l have
sometimes been obliged to do so, is
almost tempting Providence.
If there had been no Charles
Keene, l might perhaps, with ptac-
tice, have become funny man my

A STEAL.
the man

With the acquisition of our new
territory of Hawaii has come in
creased opportunities for steals,
and the trusts have not been slow
to sieze them.
On the 18th was presented to
the house of representative at
Washington, the Hawaiian cable
bill. This bill bears steal upon
the face of its and in every fold
and line of it. The fathers of the
bill, the Pacific Cable company,
admit that the cost of construction
of the proposed cable will be but
81, 500, 900, and the annual cost OF
maintenance but $50, 900 a year
and yet they have the presumption
to ask a subsidy of over seven mill
lions of dollars AT the same time
Scrymser, president of the Cable
company is trying to work Japan
for like amount.
This royal subsidy is asked
upon the plea that it is desirable
to have the cable built by Ameri-
can capital that the United States
should have control OF the cable in
the event of war. There is no OBJ
lection to the building of the cable

TEDDY ROOSEVELT, the new gov
ernor of New York, has "gone in"
for state and city civil service re-
form. We would call his attention
to the rosy record of Grover, the
Great, in the matter of civil ser
vice reform. When Mr.. McKin-
ley took the helm he found that
Grover had fired all the republi-
cans within reach, putting in dem
ocrats in their stead, and had then
placed the offices under the CLASH
fled list. Many Of the republican
congressman fell dead when they
had gotten good view of the sit
uation.

How "sharper than the serpent's
TOOTH" and more deadly than the
boomerang, is the nimble tongue
in the army Eagan, for his silly
TRADE against Miles, is to be court
martialed. General Miles, in his
intimation that there had been job
berry in the beef supply during the
late war, merely put into words the
suspicion of everyone who has
given the matter thought. To
say that she lies in every part OF
his body in his mouth and in his
eyes," does not disprove the init
nation or remove the suspicion.
The people will not accept abuse
for truth, nor evel for refutation.

Respectfully,
PERMEAL FRENCH,

olate superintendent oI oClloolS'
1t seems Miss French is con-
fronted with very complicated
problem at the threshold of her
official career. The means of
solving it will have to be provided
by the legislature, but the details
of the work will fall upon her,
1t is not generally known, but
the state is involved in a debt of
something like SIS, 900 for text
books. 1t may be much more.
Miss French has not yet had time
to get at the matter, but she finds
that there is at least that much
that is owing, The school districts
are behind to the state in a cores
ponding amount, and there is an
endless complication. Some dis
tricts have paid in the manner con-
templated by the law, sending
their warrants to the county super
intendent. who forwards them to
the state treasurer, but in many
cases it is claimed that payment
has been made direct to the book
companies. Some who know
something of the matter think the
total amount involved will reach
$4,000 or $50, 900.
The difficulty has arisen from
defects in the text book law. In
the first place the revolving appro-
priation of $40, 900 provided has
not been available, owing to some
detect. and the state has not beer
able to settle with the book com
panies. Then the provision fol
distribution of books, for .paymer
by the districts, etc., are more Of
less defective, and the entire sub
ject has been involved in confu
sion that seems endless.
The whole matter will be placed
in the hands of the educationa
committees of the legislature fo
the formulation of plan for pay
ing the companies and collecting
from the delinquent districts
When the necessary Legislation
shall have beez enacted Mis-
French will proceed to straightel
out the tangle, but in the mean
time she can only advise the bool
concerns that they must wait unit
the Legislature can act.
The nature of the complication
is partially described in commun
ication sent out to one of the com
panies by Superintendent Fores
man just before he went out O
office. He said in part
"The law had been in operation
about year and half when
, took charge of the office. Unde
the very faulty law regarding thu
ordering and paying for thes,
books, the state superintendent

CONN IN JAIL IN ANACONDA
KILLED WOOLFORD IN SELF
DEFENSE.

W. r. Conn, who shot and killed w. B.
Woolford near Helmville last Wednes-
day morning, is now in Jail, having been
brought in Yesterday afternoon by Dep
uty Sheriff Tom Mullen Of Helmville.
The shooting was lone with a 80 Colts
revolver. -Four shots were fired, two
taking effect, one above the eye and the
other above the heart, passing clear
through the body. The trouble arose over
a division of property of two small saw
mills. The men were in a small black
smith shop. Woolford made threats and
said he woul kill Conn, and started for
building to get a gun. Conn call
ed him back, but Woolford would not
stop, whereupon Conn shot him down.
The coroner's jury composed of D. J.
Coushlin, foreman; j. s. Bignell, Eu-
and John O'Neil returned a verdict as
follows:
I'VE find that w. B. Woolford came to
his death from a shot fired from a gun
held in the hands of w. r. Conn, and we
believe that the shooting was done in
self-defense."
Acting Coroner #. B.. Manix held Conn
for the district court.
Conn was arraigned before Judge Be-
land. He was represented by Attorneys
Rodgers & Rodgers. The prisoner waiv-
ed the reading of the complaint, pleaded
not guilty to the charge and answered
to his true name as William r. Conn.
The preliminary examination was set for

After a Most Successful Term
This Year.
MENT IS LARGE
Some of the Buildings Are Crowded.
The Trustees Held a Meeting
Last Evening

The public schools of Anaconda will
close for the term after six weeks more. or
on June 8, which has the appearance Of
being early in the year, inasmuch as no
later than last night there was a fall of
snow. The length of the term will be
nine months and it has been one of the
best years in the history of the city
schools. A few additional teachers We're
added and two male professors in the
high school building and Lincoln school
respectively. From what can be learned
the latter has come up to the fullest ex-
pectation of the board and the betterment
of the schools in general. The la Eest at
tendance at any of the buildings is at
the Lincoln school. where the enrolment
for the month of March was 976 pupils.
With such a regiment of children and
many of them not very easy to govern
the employment of a male principal has
been looked upon for a long time as a wise
act on the part of the school board and
greatly appreciated by teachers and pa
rents. The same is applicable to the high
school where stern discipline is often best
for all concerned. The attendance at the
schools in Anaconda never grows less.

Finally he whirled around on the stool

playing? Well when they led Maximil-

why?'
