WING OF A FLOPPER.
Significant Addition to the Standard
Collection.

SoiitCtlOus
Missoula, Aug. 29.-An interesting
ADDITION was made to-day to the col
lection of curios in the cabinet of the
Standard office. 1t is wing of a
young mallard duck of the size that is
Known to sportsmen as "foppers"
This means that the duck is too young
to fly, but can only tumble along on
the surface of the water. 1t will be
several weeks before duck of this
size can fly properly. The wing is a
very handsome one. The colors on the
feathers are brilliant and the p1umage
is not torn. As wing it is very much
all right, but it is not it's beauty or its
perfect form that makes it of import
ance as curio. The feature that
makes II a treasured addition to the
collection of the Standard office is that
it is wing that came from one of a
pair of ducks that were brought in Sun
day night by two well-known members
of the gun club. There may not APP
pear to the average reader of the
Standard anything strange in this I'M
til he stops to think that the open sea-
son for ducks has not yet begun and
that it Is unlawful to shoot ducks this
month. The fact that the gun club
was organized for the ostensible pur-
pose Of protecting game and seeing
that the laws are strictly enforced, and
that these two men are prominent
members of the club makes the wing
especially interesting. When gun club
members bring in ''1oppers'' in Aug
ust 1t is not to be wondered at that
other hunters violate the law. In the
first place it is not considered good
form to shoot Hopper at any time,
and in the second place it is doubly
wrong to shoot a Hopper" in the
closed season. These men did not
shoot the birds for the reason that they
needed food, but because they wanted
to shoot. So they took pot shot and
brought the birds into town. The wing
is on exhibition at the Standard office
and can be seen by anybody who wants
to observe how sportsmanlike these
men are,

case of the state against Oscar Jones' a
young lad who lives near Thompson, oc-
cupied almost the entire day of the court
on Tuesday. The attorney for the state
had several witnesses examined and en-
deavOred to show that the lad was guilty
of the charge and that he was in his full
senses and knew that he was doing wrong
in committing the act. The attorney for
the defense introduced several witnesses
10 show that the boy was an imbecile and
had a weak mind, and that he did not
know that he was doing a wrong act
when he stole the horse. The testimony
of the witnesses went to show that the
boy. who is II years of age, had never
been to school for one day of his life;
that he was weak-minded and was in the
habit of getting drunk. The jury was out
but a short time, when 1t returned and
brought in verdict of not guilty.

MissOula, Aug. 29.-Missoula buyers
should remember that it is the local
merchants who deserve their patron
age and should consider that the local
merchant is the one who attends to
their needs all the year. He pays taxes
in Missoula and he spends his money
here. His goods are fresh and clean
and on his shelves you will find what
you want at fair prices. Look over the
list of the advertisers in the Stand
ard and you will find the men who are
entitled to your trade. Do not bestow
it upon transient traders Who come
here for a few days and open up a
damaged or out-of-date BANKRUPT
stock. Here is an opportunity for the
city council to do some work that will
be appreciated. If the aldermen will
impose a prohibitlve license upon this
transient class of dealers they will find
themselves wonderfully popular. Give
your business to the home merchant.

In a Prosperous Condition.

Missoula, Aug. 2S.-Andy Schilling.
one of the delegates of the local lodge
of the Sons of Hermann to the grand
lodge that met in Anaconda last week,
in speaking about the order, says that
it is in very prosperous condition and
has been increasing for the last four
years at a wonderful rate. The grand
lodge session just held at Anaconda
was the best attended meeting since
the establishment of the order in the
state. Several new laws were adopted.
and number of the old ones were

rant drawn on the grand lodge treas
urer for the sum of $500, the amount
due at the death of a member Mr.
Schilling this afternoon presented the
check to the widow. This speaks very
well for the order. as the usual time in
which the benefit money is paid is from
six weeks to two months. Mr. Schill-
ing introduced a motion that was car
ried to organize sister lodges, and a
law was introduced allowing all ladies
that want to join the order to do SO,
regardless of whether the husband be-
longs or not. There will be an insur-
ance feature to it, similar to the regu-
lar lodge, also a sick benefit Mr..
Schilling speaks very highly of the Or
der and predicts that it will have a
large growth before the grand lodge
meets in Missoula next year.

+. H. Roberts, OskaloOsa: "Resub-

as Is claimed II the majority was small
either way, the defeated side would want

reason as is given by resubmissionists

Frank Nelson, State Superintendent of

WHAT STATISTICS
HAVE PROVEN!
What Medical Science Has Accomplished.
THIS GREAT DISCOVERY is OFFERED FREE TO
ADVOCATE AND NEWS READERS.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidiOus
and deceptive that thousands have some
form Of 1t and never suspect It,
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy that
would positively overcome these danger
GUS troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years Of
study and research, and after test on
announced the discovery OF Swamp
Root, which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proved such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable In the cure Of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
Of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of the
Advocate and News who have not al
ready tried it, may have free sample
bottle of Swamp-Root and thus test for
themselves its wonderful curative prop
critics.
If you will send your name and full ad-
dress to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,

lutely free by mail postpaid, also book

curative properties Of Swamp-Root
