HALL AND VALLEY NEWS.

The many friends Of August Carlson,
will be pleased to learn that he is i'm.
proving in health. It is hoped he will
soon be entirely recovered.
Angus Smith, from upper Willow
creek, and H. M. Thomas have been
shipping hay from this station this
week.
Road Supervisor s. M. G. Hughes,
assisted by James Biggs, has been
hauling timbers from the side track
at Hall, for the purpose of putting in
and repairing bridges along our coun-
try roads. We understand he intends
to build bridge over Willow creek on
the road near Joe Henderson's. The
many travellers of this road will be
pleased to hear this, as at certain
times during the year it is almost i'm.
possible to cross it with a team.
We hear that there is ''gOing to be
a wedding in that good old town" not
far from here-sOon.
Some wonderful feats were per.
formed this week near Hall, viz
Some young people went head first into
the ditch, and young lady is learning
to ride a bicycle. She can travel quite
straight, hit the side of the house, and
run into the fence or hitching- post and
not half try. Who says she isn't learn
ing fast?
E. H. Smith is having his house
plastered this week. His son Arthur
is doing the work. He has built nice
addition to it, and when completed it
will be as neat and convenient a dwell
ing as any one need ask for.
Joe Henderson will commence hay.

SUDDEN And PECULIAR
Thomas Flanagan Dies While on Trip tc
Lower Rock Creek and QuigIey.
HE WANDERS OFF AND is LOST
After Forty Hours Search He Is Found
Hidden in the WillOws-Taken to
Quigley and Tenderly Cared
For, But Passes Away.

Thomas Flanagan. an old.timer in
this section, died at Quigley at an
early hour Sunday morning. The
cause of his death is thought to have
been acute bright's disease. The re-
mains were brought to this city for
burial and the funeral occurred We'd
nesday afternoon. Mr.. Flanagan was
born in Castleton. VT, and at the
time of his death was about AZ years
old. The circumstances connected with
his untimely end are as follows: On
Thursday of last week George H. Bah
cock, accompanied by his little boy
Freddie and Thomas Flanagan. started
from here with team for Quigley,
for the purpose of bringing up some
tools, ETC., which Mr. Flanagan had
left at Mr.. Babcock's S ranch, where he
had been employed by the latter during
last year. The party was equipped for
camping out and Oh the first day went
as far as the corduroy OH Willow
creek. On Friday they drove to Quig-
ley and camped near the milk ranch
below town. Mr.. Flanagan had acted
somewhat strangely during the day
and appeared to be little out of his
mind but Mr.. Babcock thought moth
ing of it. having known him we'll for
a long time. While Mr.. Babcock was
engaged in cooking supper over the
camp fire. Flanagan told him he was
going into the brush for minute, but
when the meal had been prepared and
he failed to respond to repeated calls
Mr.. Babcock became alarmed and pro-
ceeded to search for him. thinking he
had become i'll or met with some accj-
dent. For forty hours diligent search
residents assisting, and on Sunday
willows near the slaughter house, by
removed his shoes, collar and necktie,
face and neck by mosquitoes. The un-
fortunate man was completely out of
his mind. A team was procured and
he was taken to Quigley and placed in
the city Jail and made very comfort
aDle. MrS. DalBle ana MIS-. CleaVer
prepared some light food for him and
he appeared all right. Some parties
went in to see him about II clock
and he was sound asleep. This was
the last time he was seen alive and
when found his body was in the same
position as at II O'Clock. which indi-
Gated that he must have died very
peacefully. The remains were brought
to Philipsburg. Tuesday, by Mr.. Bah
cock. Deceased was at one time quite
well-to-do, having disposed of some
iron mines for $25. 600 before he came
west. His relatives, as far as known,
are two sisters-one living in Brook
lyn and the other in Chicago. Inter-
ment was made in the Catholic section
OF the Philipsburg cemetery.

EItner Ignorant or Dishonest.
"Those who pretend to think so are
either ignorant of the sentiment pre-
vailing in the country and congress, or
they are not honest. For they should
know that congress. at it's last session,
came very close to appropriating
$500. 900 to begin work upon system
of national irrigation for the arid
west, and that the leaders of all par
ties agreed with Senators Warren and
Rawlings of Wyoming, Senator Carter
OF Montana. Senator Shoup of Idaho,
and others, that at least that sum
should be appropriated by the next
congress if they would consent to let
the matter 60 over.
If the government parts with it's
title to the arid lands, and they are
hawked in every city in the land to
find capital to reclaim them, as they
would be, they will never be reclaimed,
as they should be, for the benefit of
actual settlers; but if the government
continues to own them the time will
come when it will see the wisdom of
reclaiming them to make room for the
overcrowded cities, and will do it.
Until that time the people and con
gress should be warned against all eff
forts to give the lands to the states and
territories -

''Hog Raising i'm the South is the IT,

in the number of hogs raised. Still
there are great quantities of pork and

bulletin. 'FI1he Southern states can pro

years in which [ have been engaged in
the practice of veterinary medicine,
there is nothing that has been more
forcibly brought to my attention than
the indifference shown by most people
to the condition Of the horses mouth.
They seem to think the mouth never
becomes deranged, when in fact it is
one of the most sensitive organs of
the equine economy. All young
horses coming three and four years
old should have their teeth and mouths
carefully examined when any symp-
toms of tenderness are shown in the
mouth, as it is at this age that some
of the milk molars are replaced by the
permanent Ones
In some cases the crown of the for
mer is only partially displaced, and
gives rise to much pain and annoy
ance to the horse. have seen Il young
horse that had it's throat blistered
with IMMINENT, and was trea ted for dis
temper, when the trouble was due to
a displaced crown of milk molar,
which, upon removal, gave instant re-
lief. Again, in some horses, the struc-
ture of the teeth dis of a comparatively
soft nature, and wears rapidly on the
grinding substances in a ragged and
uneven manner. which severely cuts
and lacerates the tongue and cheeks
This defect may be easily remedied by
the use of mouth rasp, an instru-
ment found in nearly all hardware
stores To heal the raw surfaces. a
little alum and boraX dissolved in wa
fer will act effectually. This humane
method, if pursued by people who own
horses, will prevent much suffering to
the horse, and at the same time amply
repay the owner in the improved APP
pearance of his animal, and in many
cases prevent the loss of much food by
quidding and soldering
A few words in regard to those bug

lampas, so-called, and wolf teeth
Eampas is supposed by most people to
possess some mysterious power over a
horse, whereby his appetite becomes
deranged. They, therefore, resort to
cutting and burning the poor bru te's
mouth under the mistaken notion of
curing the lampas. The writer has
been engaged in the care of horses for
twenty-five years, and has yet to see a
horse that WAS affected physically in
any way by lampas, except in the
imagination of it's owner. 1t is the
same with the so-called ''woM teeth"
These teeth are the vestigial remains
of premOlar teeth that in the remote
ancestors of the horse were func-
tiOnal, and they have become,
through disuse, mere rudiments, as it
were, of their former selves. They do
not, by some occult means, affect the
eyes of horses and cause them to 90
blind, nor are they responsible, as
some good people contend, for horse
being in poor condition.
