Selling Grain a Sacrifice.

Every farmer should endeavor to
convert the grain into meat IL possible,
not only for the sake of the higher
price to be obtained, but because meat
is not as bulky as grain, and the ex-
penses of marketing are less. When a
farmer sells corn or any other grain
there is nothing left behind. but when
the grain is fed to stock much of Its
real value is retained on the farm in
the manure. FAT takes less from the
farm than protein, and the fatter an
animal that is sold the smaller the
loss of the soil elements, proportion
ateIy, and the larger the profit.

EXPENSIVE POPULARITY.
An Indiana Singer Who Resides An
Chicago Has "A Costly Prom
ise TO Fulfill.

One of the best known singers of Chi
cago came from a city of $4,000 popula-
tion in Indiana, says the Chicago Jour
nal.
He had lived in the Hoosier town un-
Til after he was of age, and was a great
social as well as church favorite. His
tenor voice was soft and tender, and no
funeral of any prominent citizen was
held without his presence. Often, when
he made calls, the older women of the
city would make him promise that he
would sing at their funerals. He al
ways promised.
The tenor came to Chicago five years
ago. and by hard study made his way 10
the front.
But now his promises are beginning
to count.
About once every two months he gets
telegram announcing the death OF
some old friend in the Indiana city
one at whose funeral he promised to
sing.
So the tenor packs his valise and goes
So far he has always paid his own ex.
penses, but he hopes some day that
some wealthy resident of the Hoosier
place will remember him in last will
and testament.

Women Should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some sort
is responsible for the many ills that be-
set womankind
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puff
fy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu-
matism, dragging pain or dull ache in
the back, weakness or bearing down
sensation, profuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odor, frequent desire
to pass itwith scalding or burning SEN
sation, sediment in it after standing in
bottle or common glass for twenty-fo
hours, are signs of kidney or bladder
trouble.
The above symptoms are often attrib-
uted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but reflection of the pri-
mary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug store for fifty cents or one dol
lar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling
all about it, both sent absolutely free by
mail. Kindly mention The True North

An incident illustrating the sailors
attachment for animals recently was
reported in the London Times. The
item was as follows: "As Commander
Lewis Blackburn, of the cruiser Blen-
helm, was leaving the hulk Royal Ade-
laide, in Chatham dock yards, on the
night of November "a, a gazelle which
hehadrecently broughtfrom abroadran
to meet him, and while fondly rub
bing against him fell overheard. Com
mander Blackburn, who was in full uni
form, promptly plunged into the basin,
although the risk was great, the night
being intensely dark and there being
chains between the Adelaide and other
ships. Shouting for lights to be
brought, he kept himself and the ga
zelle afoat until both were rescued"

MICA FOR SAFETY LAMP.
An Interesting Experiment That 4,
Being Tried I'm Several Ger
man Galleries.

An arrangement made by Herr Max
Raphael, of Breslau, Silesia, is now be-
ing tried experimentally in several Ger
man collieries as substitute for the
glass cylinder of safety lamps. The
cylinder is constituted by two tin plates
of mica united, and also kept in place az
the top and bottom by being inserted
in two brass rings, the section of which
resembles that of a channel iron, the
edges of the two channel rings being
turned toward one another. AS the
mica plates are perfectly fitted to the
rings, air tightness is insured, and an
additional safeguard may be afforded
by bedding the edges of the plates in
red lead cement. This double mica CYL
inder is inserted in the lamp cage just
like an ordinary glass cylinder. The
principal advantage claimed for this
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS des-
ignates it for use in officials and under
ground surveyors lamps. which are
now largely made of aluminium with
the same object. 1t is also claimed that
the mica, which yields slightly, is less
liable to injury from knock than is
the ordinary lamp glass, and even il
the outer mica is pierced there will
probably be the inner one still left in
tact.

Judge Sullivan Takes Umbrage

TIME FOR A QUARREL
Says the Physicians Should Lay Aside

city is threatened. Their quarrel is not
In keeping with the nobility of their pro-
fession, and is a menace to the public

Such was Judge Sullivan's emphatic ex-
preston this morning, and he said it in
a that left ne doubt as to his sin
certify. He said more. His honor has
taken urnbrage at DIR. Alexander's criti-
cism of the decision in the Hanson case.

no consideration, whatever. The court is
ready at all times to do what it can in
support of the officials in averting a

DR.. Hanson was charged with violat-
ing the health ordinances by neglecting
to report the case of Charles McCants,
alleged to be suffering from the smallpox.
Six physicians testified in support of DR..
A~lexander's contention that McCants was
i'll of smallpox. OF these medical men
several admitted that they examined Nc
Can through a window. Four physi-
clans testified in supper of DR.. Hanson,
that McCants was not suffering from
smallpox. but was ill of pneumonia and
the eruption was caused by the admins
tration of iodine. One Of these men was
an expert on skin diseases. 1t was SIM
ply a case of where doctors disagree. AS
to whether McCants had smallpox or
pneumonia, l am in no position to say.

Mondays Boston News Bureau says:
The street impression a year ago, In
the calm thai followed the Butte & Bos-
ton-Boston & Montana contest, was that
standard Oil people had bought the con-
troll of Boston & Montana, notWithstand-
ing the fact that the Boston News Bureau
declared that all the stories Of controll-
ing blocks Of stocks having been acquired
by the Standard Oil people, We're abso-
lutely false.
We may as Well repeat now that when
the Butte & Boston people assailed Bos-
ton & Montana, they did not own more
than 5000 shares of Boston & Montana,
Notwithstanding the proclamation i'll
the daily pa pers that they We're very
large holders. in fact, declared to be in
possession of 81, 1000 shares.
After the settlement a year ago was
effected-a settlement which we believed
at the time, and Still believe. will never
be carried out as respects the price of
Butte & Boston-the Standard Oil peo-
pie became buyers of Boston & Montana
stock at $225 and above. in fact, We're the
buyers of practically all the stock sold
up to and above $500.
This placed the Standard Oil people in
control of "A, 600 shares of Boston & Mon
taia. With the Il, 900 shares Mr.. Rogers
has just purchased from Mr.. BigeloW and
Mr.. BigeloW's associates, Mr.. Rogers, or
the interest he represents, becomes the
owner of %, 600 shares of Boston & Mon
tana. Mr.. BigeloW is individually the
second largest owner. but still repre-
sents far more stock than any other in
terest.
1t should not be forgotten that the
Butte & Boston assault forced out more
than 10000 shares of Boston & Montana
stock from frightened holders. Mr.. Bige-
low and his associates purchased it all
at 225.
The Standard Oil people certainly do
not own any more stool today than they
forced upon the market at that time"
Regarding the Amalgamated, the same
pape remarks: There is absolutely no
truth in the runors of a settlement of the
HeinZe litigation at Butte.
Mr.. HeinZe is said to be .
GOO, 600 pounds of copper per month, or at
the rate Of %. 000, 600 pounds per annum.
and to be preparing to double his output
to 90, 200, OGO pounds per annum. 1t is also
said that he does not owe q dollar in the
world.
Boston people have very little idea of
the size of this litigation, and it won't
do for those Standard Oil financial col
unlns whose Arcadian and Butte victims
are now strewing the cutters of State
street, to attempt to laugh the Heinze liti-
CATION down a side alley.
MIR. Heinze may be assassinated. but
that game won't long be found to work
even in Butte. Some of his western news
paper defenders have already been
threatened with assassination. -

IN C0PPERS
Large Western Orders Serve
to Restore Confidence.
SOME ADVANCES MADE
The Week Past Presented Trying
Conditions But Stocks Are
Strong.
S0ME ADVANCES MADE

In the face of the most trying condi-
tions, scarcity of speculative money. Brit
ish reverses and consequent fever Of
finance in the London exchange. cfimaxed
by the failure of the Globe National bank
of Boston, the bank of the Boston & Mon
tana and supposedly thick in the meshes
of the ~Amalgamated web, the copperS
have shown a most surprising strength,
and Butte holders, invariably bulls, who
have been holding their breath and put
ting up margins, are sanguine as to the
outcome.
One Of the reasons for the steadines of
the coppers, particularly the Butte
stocks, during the panicky week just
closed is that large orders have gone in
from Butte and Utah for blocks of stock
outright. The fact has been the occa-
sion of much among Boston
brokers, and has done much towards re-
storing the confidence of eastern buyers.
Telegraphic advices received in the city
last night are to the effect that the pur-
chasers of Parrot recently have been
largely among people looking for a good
investment. and very little stock is in
the and of brokers.
For Saturday,, with two holidays before
the re-opening Of the exchange the mar
ket closed very firm to-day. Boston &
Montana gained a point during the trad
ing, Bingham a quarter of a point, Mo-
hawk the same, Osceola three quarters,
