committee of one to give the young G.
p. a hearty welcome, and conducted HIM
to the county boarding house where he
showed him a few bills which the kid
should have settled before he left
Shelby. 1t is needless to say that he
promptly settled including the usual
trimmings, then went on his sorrowful
way to Washington a little sadder, and
considerably wiser and we presume he
spends his spare time figuring out how
che bills reached Kalispell before he did,
but they got there just the same.

Sixty-FOur. Cents Cotton.

If one will take even ordinary dress
goods, such as women are buying every
day, and weigh them it will be seen that
they are selling at the rate of ga cents a
pound. The farmer got five cents of this
amount and the retailer gets as much
more, and the balance, 81 cents, goes to
the railroads owned elsewhere and to
people in the north. The south gets FEN
cents in this case for its staple and the
north 81 cents.
There is no nonsense or deception
about these figures. They are cold facts
numerically expressed. The manutac-
urer in the north does not pocket "a
cents pound, but the "a cents-accu-
ately speaking, about so cents-does go
into the pockets of northern people,
some CT them big operatives, some OF
them engaged 10 transportation aud some
in the manufacture and sale of supplies.
Fifty.two out of GA cents expended for
dress goods made of cotton is paid into
northern pockets, only twelve cents be-
ing retained in the south. We do not
care to trace that twelve cents lest we
find that it, too, is landed at last along
side the 50 cents n the course of the
purchase of fertilizers, meats, other
goods, machinery and the like.
We reed-+nOt grumble over five cent
cotton when we know that we can readi-
iy make it worth to the state ten times
that price. If we can not readily at this
stage of manufacturing development in
the south increase its value to the COM
munty ten-fold, we know we can in
crease it three-fold or four-fold. We can
at least make standard sheetings and
this would carry five cent cotton up to
twenty cents, which is fine raise in
itself. Birmingham Age Herald

1t may be question whether the edi-
tor OF a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pros
prietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffering
we feel it duty to say good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on any
medicine for a cure, but we do believe
that if bottle of Chamberlan's Dlar-
rhOea Remedy was kept on hand and
administered at the inception of an ats
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence or a
physician would rot be required. AT
least this has been our experience curing
the past twenty years. For sale by Far

THE LATE j. g. CHAPMAN.
aughter Paws Tribute TO the Memory
of Her Father.

On February 10th our beloved father,
Nj. j. G.. Chapman, was confined to his
bed with lingering illness from which
he suffered many months. We had two
of Terrelfs best physicians to attend
him, but all they did and the tender
nursing of his devoted wife and
children was to no avail, for it was the
will of an , lwise Providence that he be
called to join his loved ones in Heaven
where IL ere is no more sickness, sorrow
and &c eth, but where all is ioy.

admission to Him who coeth all things
well, and have blessed consolation and
sweet assurance that our dear father is
not dead out has only gone before where
he will never again experience any of
earth's sorrows and grief
His physicians, Drs. Wall and Dean,
did all in their power to restore Kim, but
all they did was in vain. And to make
it doubly sad, he became insane and was
taken to the state sanitarium at Mil
ledgeville on June the 10th, where he re-
manned only two short weeks before
death came to relieve him of his intense
sufferings. He died Sunday night, June
18th, at 10 O'clock, and his remains
reached nome Tuesday evening, June
9th, and were laid TO rest in the new
cemetery at Brentwood in the presence of
large cOncourse of relatives and friends
who grieved the loss of a true, loving
christian father and friend. He had
been in declining health several months,
and we had with sorrow been awaiting
the approach of the last enemy and
praying for the postponemento of his final
work.
He was born in Lexington, South Car
DINA, September oath, 1881, and was
married to.Miss Francis Elizabeth Sum-
mer on January goth, 1851. They re-
sided in South Carolina number OF
years, and moved to Br nwoOd, Ca, on
November 18th, 1866. He was a good
husband, loving father and true
friend to all who came in contact with
his gentle influence. He often, during
his illness, expressed desire ogo home
where ali earthly sufferings and sorrows
would cease. He was consistent mem

Alarming reports have been received
of the loss of life in the vicinity of
Brookshire. The river there is more
than five miles wide, and the waters are
flashing furiously. There are from 300
to 400 persons on small island near
Brookshire, and the water was rapidly
rising at last reports.

food is sent at once starvation is lneVl-

people are suffering at Brookshire for

WashinGton's poisonous lip-biting
bug has been run down, captured and
identified. 1t is the nelanolestes pi-

Of the strawberry bug, and a relative TO
the bedbug family. DR.. Howard says
the report that the bug would bite only
men, and would bite them only upon
the lip, is erroneous, since as matter
OF fact the bug will probe everything it
comes in contact with. 1t is this prede-
llcuon towards probing everything
that has probably caused all of the
poisonous bites. The bug has no poison
glands. 1t feeds upon other bugs and
dead insects and even animals It's
beak is serrated. Ii the bug alights
upon dead rat, into the carcass goes
its beak. Then if it should next alight
upon sleeper'S lip, into the lip would
go the sharp little beak, carrying with
it tie poison from the rats body The
bug is nocturna! in its habits, flies noise

Banff, N. w. T., Aug. 11.-Henry G.

of London. and Walter d. Wilcox. of
Washington, left Banff Springs week
ago with an outfit Of ten horses and two
men to reach the base of Mount Assini-
boine for the purpose of making an as
cent to the peak of that mountain.
Encountering snow storm on the con-
tinental watershed, these young men
pushed on, and on the third day reached
Simpson river, which rises at the base
of the Canadian Rockies. On the fourth
day, after a hard scramble through the
forests, they made a camp within two
miles of Mount Assiniboine's cliffs, from
the upper parts OF which ice avalanches
and snow We're continually falling night
and day. Two of the party with ice
axes and Alpine ropes made an attempt
to explore the glaciers and cliffs. After
| q steep ascent up the ice slopes under
dangerous rockfall they traversed the
| glaciers surrounding the great pyra-
mid of the summit, reaching an altitude
of 10000 feet. During the descent the
leader, Bryant. slipped and fell, draw
ling his companion with him, but by
Eskillful maneuvers he managed to reach
rock projecting through the ice and
by this they saved themselves from
terrible and fatal fall. They failed to
reach the summit.
