passer, Concord, heat prostration. The
insurgent fire was heavy, but poorly
aimed. Enemy's loss unknown. Full

NO SMALL POX HERE.

The Butte Drug Firm Should BE More

The Newbro Drug company OF Butte,
in advertising certain smallpox pre-

inadvertently and very untruthfully re-

ner: "The prevalence of smallpox at

libel OH Billings, which is one of the
healthiest spots OIL the face of the globe
and the drug company should lose no
time in retracting it's statements.
There has never been case Of smallpox
in this city, but the fact that all rail-
road trainmen have been ordered vac
cinated may have given origin to the
advertisement.
