Timothy Daniel Frawey, manager of
the dramatic troupe which bears his
name, has folded his tents like the Be-
douins and executed a star retreat from
Futte. taking with him a mind filed with
grave apprehension and a spinal column
along which are undulating the icy
waves of smallpox fever.
Mr.. Frawley had well developed case
OF stage fright-two hours before he de-
parted for Ogden he was lodging every
speck that floated about in the atmos-
phere for fear it might be a miniature
air-ship, guided sy a smallpox microbe
Every blue-coated guardian of the peace
was to him en- emissary of DIR. Bryant
and because he had not been vaccinated
his guilty conscience played strange
tricks.
1t was all the result of joke A po-
| liceman told somebody that the cities
south of here were likely to declare a
quarantine against Butte; somebody
told Frawley. The actor-manager al
most tainted, and rushing off to the ho-
tel. ordered everything he and his troupe
possessed packed at once. Soon he was
in telephone communication with the
railroad officials and notified them that
he would leave town at 1 o'clock this
morning instead of o'clock this after
noon. as had been his former intention.
When the performance of Madame
Sans Gene" was concluded last evening
everything was in readiness for a hur-
ried flight. A small party, including Miss
Van Buren and Miss Johnson were the
actors guests at a supper served in the
Butte cafe during the interval between
the end of the performance and the time
for the train to draw out Of the Oregon

the company were all aware of Mr..
Frawley's state of mental disturbance

his forehead.

the clock, . This is awful, when we play

beaten almost to death by a hackman,

When the hack left for the depot at
fifteen minutes to the hour Mr.. Frawley
was in state of collapse, but not so his

MAKE LIFE MISERABLE.
It's the Little Things That Do SO.

How frequently you hear people
complain Of only n slight case Of
piles" often ella ming that the trouble
Is merely temporary, induced by cos
tlveness, or sedentary habits.
1t may be some satisfaction to con-
sole yourself in this way but it is much
better to check the trouble at once.
You can't do it too soon.
In time these little rectal tumors will
grow from the size of a grape seed
until n knot of them results as large
as pigeons eggs.
These become inflamed and tender to
the touch and causing itching, sting
ing and throbbing pain.
Thus the disease continues from bad
to worse until the patient can bear the
annoyance no longer.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is a perfectly
safe and certain cure for piles in any
of these stages, 1t goes TO the very
source of the trouble and drives out all
inflammation, causing the tumors to
subside and the membranes TO resume
their normal, healthy condition.
Piles lead to too many complications
to trifle with every remedy that comes
along. People have found It pays to
use standard remedy like the Pyra-
md Pile Cure which for ten years has
been tested in thousands of cases.
Physicians use the Pyramid Pile
Cure IN preference to surgical opera
tions, because they know It contains
no cocaine morphine or poisonous drug
and because it is no longer an expert
ment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is in suppos-
tory form to be used at night and
causes no detention from business,
Is painless and costs but 80 cents Mt
any drug store in the nited States and
Canada. .-,r---~

to effect no disastrous consequences.
In 1895, when the orange groves of
Florida were so badly frost bitten,
Texas was covered with two feet of
snow. 1t was most inconvenient, and
caused great loss Of life on the stock
ranches, but the novelty Of such n
great event was not without many
comical features, and did not result
in permanent injury to other than
orange trees. There are but few flow.
crs which are not at home and thrive
luXuriantly here.
Plant study Is ever entertaining and
instructive, for it leads one into a
terry of growth and development of
not only plant but all life. Southern
women can revel il such pastime, to
the envy of women of colder climes,
for here seems to be the natural home
of all flowers, known and unknown,
in the North. Some poet describes a
fine sentiment when he wrote:
The flowers are teachers that love,
Their petals l have read,
Their blossoms look to heaven above,
Their roots point to the sleeping
dead"
We often fail to appreciate common
blessings, and the wonder to North
erner, when he visits this country is,
that everyyard Is not flower garden.
The stately golden rod seems to be
the only beauty of the field that blooms
at the same season of year. here and
in the North. All other flowers, bath
ed with warm rains and bright sun
shine vie with ench other in showing
their lovliness in almost constant
bloom. Texas seems to impress one
as an immenseff farm with only spots
here and there in cultivation, and with,
out fences. In rainy weather the
highways become hub deep in the
most sticky mud you ever saw. A
Northerner would open his bitches and
drain his fields. Ohio had to do it,
Illinois done it, Texas is too young
and has not had time to do it. A
woman had never enough to ask for
q divorce from her husband, because
he said his father could go to bed
with his muddy boots on, if he wanted
to- This did not happen in Texas
but in Nebraska, and proves that
there are also muddy roads in Ne
braska. But divorces are rare in Tex
as, and the tenderfoot need not be
discouraged if he strikes Texas when
its muddy.
In the woods are to be found many
Towering trees. suitable for home
adornment, while every variety Of

kingly evergreen with thick, glossy
leaves and large fragrant blossoms
There are fig trees here that look to be
and for aught /. know may be, as old
as those of the Garden Of Eden, but
the leaves are not as large as I was
led to believe they We're, for they
would be very scant as objects for
personal apparel. The fig is a general

Something About the Magnitude Of
the State.
Especial Correspondence

La Porte, Tex, Dec. S.-Any other
State than Texas would be considered
fairly gridironed with railroads. Three
States the size Of Kansas, could be
comfortably settled within the con-
fines of the State of Texas, Ohio would
only occupy onesixth Of her territory.
New York one-fifth, Illinois or Iowa
each one-Quarter of it's territory. In
one season Texas could raise field
of cotton ms large as the State of New
York, iield Of corn as large as the
State of Ohio, field of wheat as large
as Pennsylvania, a field of oats
as large as Illinois, an or.
chard as large as Missou-
ri, and still have pasture as
large as the State OF Connecticut, The
extensive railway systems of these
States could readily be added to that
of Texas to put them on an equal foot
ing in railroad facilities. Still Texas
with railroad mileage of 10000 miles,
is one of the first of all the States in
total mileage.
\ banker from the interior of the
State, In the course Of passing COM

Fifteen miles above La Porte. on

General Sidney Sherman resided

Farther down the bay is Houston Point,
where General Sam Houston resided
at one time. There is nothing here
now TO mark the site of his residence,

1t Listens to Reports of Bishops on
missionary Work.

Chicago, May 10.-(By Associated
Press. Bishop Mallalieu presided at
the morning session of the Methodist
general conference. Two fraternal
delegates to attend the next general
conference of the Methodist church,
south, and one to the next conference
of the Canadian Methodist church
were appointed. The report of the
special committee on the revision of
the organic laws of the church was
then taken up. Article 3 defining mem-
bership in the general conference rails
ed the questions of the admission of
women to the conference as members.
Much discussion followed The subject
was deferred to make way for the
order of the day. the quadrennial re-
ports of Bishop Thoburn on mission
ary work in India, and Bishop Hartzell,
of the work in Africa. In the discus
sion of the outlook in India, Thohurn
said the famine and pestilence had
been detrimental to missionary work,
but in spite of the drawbacks there
had been an increase in the strength
of the work over four years ago. the
missionary community now number
ing 1,111,000 souls. In conclusion the
bishop asked to have his salary cut
in half SO that he could have an assist
ant bishop, owing TO his poor health.
