WESTERN TROOPS.
Courage and Dash Displayed in the
Battles Around Manila.

In the intensely interesting details
of the weeks fighting about Manila
cabled to the New York Herald by one
of the fighters, who was badly wounded,
there is one underlying note which
dominated the whole story-that is, the
absolute courage and dash of our west
ern troops.
These were amateur soldiers-just a
lot of prairie boys fun of adventure and
bored with their monotonous life at
home. The writer had earned his spurs
in the Turko- Grecian war for an En-
glish paper, but is an amateur in Amer
lean journalism.
Watch how graphically the words
describe the wild western ease with
which the Washington, Nebraska, Ida
no, Montana, Wyoming, Dakota and
Utah regiments overcome difficulties:
""The Nebraska men made their way
over the bridge, crouching in pairs,
amid the kissing and pattering of bull
lets" Fl
THE Colorado volunteers rushed
block-houses No. A and 6 and the vii
lage beyond"
1.-THE Washington troops swan the
estuary under fire."
THE Wyoming troops waded the
stream and marched into the open I'M
der heavy fire as if on parade"
up the hill the artillery and infan-
try scrambled, digging with their hands
and feet. Nothing could stand before
them. 1t was magnificent"
And so it was! These first details of
fighting in the tropics by our raw west
ern boys go further toward establish
ing the vast fighting power of our bless
ed countryside reserve force to be
drawn from any and every section of
the nation-than the grandest essay on
war ever written by the greatest gen.
eral of all the foreign powers on earth.

STATE NOTES.

Most Of the cattle and sheepmen had
made preparations for just such an
emergency as We experienced in the re-
cent billiards and had an abundance
of hay provided for their herds, and the
losses have been small.-Otto Courier.
All the railroads in the southern part
of the state were blockaded the first
part of the week. Here in northern
Wyoming things are moving along in
the regular way. If you want nice
weather come to this part of the state.

The people here have been exalted
lately over the projected extension of

as | can find out the route will be up to
Dome Lake via the divide between Lit

the mountain between Paint Rock and
Shell creek, the railroad town to be 10

this point the road will fork, one

Concerning the Hay creek coal enter
prise. the Deadwood Pioneer of recent
date says: The coal company has
about thirty five men employed in the
mine at present, and is taking out coal
at A rapid rate. The mine has been
thoroughly opened up, and coal can be
taken out with the greatest degree OF
economy. This coal stands a better test
than any other hat finds its way into
the Black Hills, and is giving the best
of satisfaction wherever it is used. The
quality of the product that is taken out
of the new workings is better than that
in the old tunnel, and a tine grade OF
peacock coal is being taken out at that
place"

THEY WANT STONE.
Kansas Parties Figuring IN Buying the
Rawlins Quarries.

A party of Kansas capitalists have
been figuring for some time past with
Mr.. James Mcpherson, the proprietor
of the Rawlins stone quarries, with the
object of securing control of this valu-
able deposit Of sandstone. We learn
that the deal has practically been COM
pleted.
The gentlemen have an abundance
Of capital and will early in she spring
set to work to develop the quarries to
their full capacity.
Rawlins sandstone has been in big
demand for a number If years, much
larger than Mr.. Mcpherson has been
able to supply, owing to his inability
to get a spBr track to the quarries. We
understand that one of the improve
ments which the Kansas gentlemen
have in contemplation is the laying of
this spur track, which will enable them
to take out much larger blocks of stone
than can be hauled from the quarries
with teams.
We hope to confirm the news of the
sale within a day or two, as the change
a great deal for Rawlins.-Raw-
Inns Journal.

The Earl of Warwick, commonly
called the "kingnaker. " from the fac
ulty with which he created and deposed
monarchs during the contest between
the house of Yorl; and Lancaster, lived
in style of magnitiCence and hospitality
of which nc period perhaps furnishes
an example. No less than 80, 900 per
sons are said to have lived ut his board
in the different munOrs and castles
which he possessed, and the military,
allured by his hospitality as we'll as his
bravery, were strongly attached to his
interests. This distinguished warrior fell

consented to make one more effort to
induce the house conferrees to accept
the senate reservoir amendment. The
report was recommitted to the con-
ferrees and the senate went into execu-
tive session.
At $3.50 a. M, when the transaction
Of Legislative business was resumed.
Mr.. Frye reported that the senate con-
ferees had been unable to induce the
house conferees to reopen the agree
ment already made and the measure
must stand or fall according to the re-
port made.
Then Mr.. Warren, rather thar i'm
peril the interests of the government
and probably defeat some of the appro-
priation bills, he was willing to accept
the report as it stood, and in a graceful
speech gave up the fight which he had
made against heavy odds. Without an
other word of debate the river and
harbor report was agreed to.
Following quickly upon this agree
ment, another bone of contention was
tossed into the ena in the form of a
partial report of the naval bill confer
rees, but the report was sent back to
the conferees. The point at issue was
regarding the price to be paid for armor
plate. AT $3.50 a. m. MIR. Hole again
presented the report of the conferrees
and explained it's provisions, after
which the report was adopted.
Mr.. Allison of Iowa presented a par
tial report on the sundry civil bill. 1t
was adopted. Mr.. Allison moved that
the senate recede from the remainder
of the amendments in controversy, in
Guiding the Pacific cable project. This
carried.
The final conference report on the
district of Columbia appropriation bin
was agreed to without division. ,
The senate went into executive ses-
sion, which lasted until Has, when the
doors were opened and the senate COM
pleted its last legislative session of the
present congress.
Messrs. Hoar and German were ap-
pointed a committee to join a similar
committee from the house to inform the
president that the senate was ready to
adjourn.
Nh. Hoar reported that the committee
had waited on the president and had
been instructed by him that he had dis
posed of the business which had been
laid before him by the two houses and
that he had not further communications
to make; that the two houses have
reached the end of a very laborious and
important session, and that he wished
their members a safe return to their
homes.
The resolutions thanking Vice Presi-
dent Hobart and the president pro lem.
were then presented and Vice Presi-
dent Hobart addressed the senate and
eulogized CONGRESSES record as a wal
and a peace congress, and thanked the
members of their courtesy.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
The Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, il is more often the result
OF weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is i~ncurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relations between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way. also the heart is eff
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is t o improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation Of
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless d.
gestive elements in a pleasant, con-
venient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form Of
stomach trouble except cancer OF the
stomach.
Full sized package Of these tablets
sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little
book on stomach trouble mailed free.

Still, MORE CoUNTERFEITING.

The secret service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters n secur-
ed a large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect them
of being spurious. Things OF great val
ne are always selected by counterfeiters
for imitation, notably the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, e
vousness and general debility. The Bit
tiers sets things right in the stomach
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes good blood and plenty or IT,

TIME REGISTER ON EMPLOYEES

Registering time clocks are being put
in at the Union Pacific headquarters in
all departments where a large number
of people are employed. They are a
pretty piece OF wall decoration, and
where they occupy an exposed position
are attractive. Every employe in these
departments upon reporting in the
morning will register his arrival on this
clock. and will do the same upon his
departure. They will be paid only for
shown to their credit by the interior
mechanism Of the clock, and it is there
fore to their interest not to forget the
little formality of pushing the button
going to work. Every employee except
the heads Of departments Will nave
a number. which will correspond to that
opposite their names in the auditors
office. and the register Of time will be
done by number.-Omaha Bee.

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING
Another Dividend by the Mis-
soula Building and Loan.
CONCERN is ON VELVET
1t Went Out of Business Two Years Ago
and Will Succeed in Paying
Off All of Its In
debtedneSs.

Missoula, Jan. 1.-THE trustees of the
Missoula Building and Loan association
to-day declared another dividend Of
$500. the second of similar amount
awarded within the last 80 days. The
money is payable Immediately at the
office of the secretary in this city to the
stockholders of the concern, which,
while now disorganiZed, is going out of
existence with flying colors. Less than
two years ago the company went out
of business owing something like s30,500
to its stockholders, nearly all which
amount has been paid, and the COM
pany is still the possessor of a large
quantity of rea. estate of considera BILE
value. The showing made is said to be
an excellent one when taking into con-
sideration the large depreciation IN
values which have occurred within the
past two years and the character of Sc
curities the company has been obliged
to carry pending the advent of better
times. The statement shows the con-
Germ to be now on velvet and prepared
to pay, not alone its Indebtedness, but
also premium to all stockholders who
have stood by the institution since it's
organization 10 years ago.

ale, M. Saglio gives in detail an ac-
count of his researches in the line of
highly expansive enamels, and the i'm
portant scientific and industrial bear
ings of such chara cteristic. He found
that silica, kaolin, petalite and zircon
impart to the enamel infusibility, but
lessen the expansiveness: that calcic
phosphate increases the eXpansiveness,
gives viscosity to the enamel in fusion,
imparting to it also a certain insolubili
ty. and that cryolite, fluorspar, and,
above all, rutile, which seems to fix the
boracic acid well, increase the expan-
siveness and fluidity of the enamel. 1t
is of course familiar to all that the use
Of enamel as an insula tor for resistance
wires of electric heating and cooking
apparatus is now general, and manu-
facturers have by careful experiment
ascertained which of the various enam
els give the most favorable results. The
desiderata are that the expansion of the
enamels be about the same as that of
the metals employed. and that the
enamel be not very brittle.
