WORST KIND OF CASE.
We Will Tell You if You
Will Believe 1t.
The Experience of Well Known Per-
SONS Ought Surely to Be
Convincing.

We ask you to read the following state
ment from a well known citizen because
he suffered from one of the worst kind
of cases of backache and kidney disor-
ders, and was cured by Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids. If you are in the least way tr0ubIed
with q weak back or disordered kidnevs
use Morrow's Kid-ne-oids; they cure
every time.
Mr.. w. Porter, elevator man at Mann
heimer Bros, corner of Robert and Sixth
street, says: q have been a consta nt
sufferer from kidney troubles for a long
time. I suffered with kidney backache
rheumatism, nervousness and other dis
tressing and annoying symptoms of dis
ordered kidneys. l tried to get relief nv
taking different kinds of kidney remedies
but my trouble remained until I com.
menced to take Morrows Kid-ne-oids
Kid-ne-oids cured me of all nv former
troubles, I gained fifteen pounds in two
weeks. My friends have noticed the
wonderful change in my appearance and
physical condition and want to know
what caused 1t. I tell them Morrow :

quite sanely he went to the breaker, filled
a tumbler and returned with a glassful
and a biscuit.
! There was the courtesy of good breed
ing in the poor fellow as he handed her
the glass, for the soul that is never mad
Will shine through disease, and Capt.
Layard, who was born a gentleman,
proved gentleman even when insane.
She drank gratefully and ate the bis
cult.
He took the glass from her and filled 1t
for himself, but did not eat Then he
returned to his chair and that dreadful
watch on deck again began. Often he
would say:
DO you see him? Why should he keep
in hiding?
And sometimes he would quit his seat
and go to the rail and look into the sea
over the side
The water swarmed with fire this night
the chilly sea glow started in fbers, in
clouds, like luminous smoke; in coils, like
revolving eels, and 1t is conceivable that
the crazed eye which was bent upon these
lights should fashion them into phan-
tasms, into grotesque shapes into the
crowd of brassy faces which the sealed
but waking vision beholds when the brain
is drugged He would spend twenty

cross to the other side and spend a quar-
ter Of an hour in a like hunt Always
when he returned to his chair he would
mutter to himself, 'Why doesn't he
Gomez" And once he started up with a
frantic cry which was frightful with in
articulateness; he dashed his hand to his
forehead and held it there, with his left
arm stiffened out, and the fingers curled
with the agony Of his mind.
At that moment the bell was again
struck, and now it was Julia who shriek-
ed. She started up and bent her head
forward thinking to see the figure that
had struck the bell. The captain broke
into wild laugh
II see him! l see him. he cried "Oh,
Johnny, I'm your father!' and he started
into run with his arms outstretched, as
If to seize the phantom he beheld
He ran past the bell, and, crying, "I am
coming, Johnny; I am coming!" climbed
on to the top of the deck load, and in a
strange croaking voice, as though 1t pro-
ceeded from some huge sea bird sailing
overhead, he exclaimed:
There you are at last, my Johnny
Father is coming to your' and sprang

Julia fell upon the deck and lay Hfeless
in swoon.

It was about half past o'clock in the
afternoon, and the sun shone hotly. The
breeze was a pleasant wind for that
boat, and the captain put her dead be-
fore it and blew Onwards into the bound
less distance, squarely seated at the amid
ship helm with the white and placid face
OF the drugged girl at his feet.
He would often look at her with pas
sionate eagerness, and then direct his
brilliant eyes over the sea, and his coun-
tenance was now shocking with It's ex-
preston Of real madness, charged with
the ghasty Illumination of his one ma
niacal belief, that the girl, who was fresh
from the sea when he missed his boy,
knew where he was and would take him
TO the child, and then they would return
to the ship, and once more the drum
would rattle and the whistle awaken the
birds in the rigging.
Never before in all human tradition of
ocean life had fate painted upon the
bosom of the deep a picture more wonder
full by virtue of its secret and tragic
meaning. There would be nothing in
the mere scene of beautiful clipper ship
under all plain SAIL her canvas following
lnwards visibly, to all intents and purposes
derelict; there would be nothing in the
spectacle of a little open boat borne on
wards by the humming heart of its swell
ing square of canvas, steered by a lonely
figure, the other being hidden. It might
be to distant eye the fight of a single
survivor from a floating pest house. But

THEY FAIL TO REPORT.
Physicians Negligent in Reporting Births
A and Death.

The board of county commissioners
will present a bill to the next legisla-
ture providing for a penalty in cases
where physicians fail to report deaths
and births to the proper county Off
Gals, says the Helena Herald.
There has scarcely been an effort to
comply with the law in this county
and as a result Lewis and Clarke coun-
ty has no accurate records covering
the deaths and births during the last
ten years.
The law requires that physicians re-
port to the county clerk all deaths and
births that come to their notice. Per
haps two Helena doctors have made a
point to comply with the law. In
other states the law is quite stringent
and prescribes a heavy penalty where
physicians are negligent in this respect
During the last five years there has
been something like two o deaths
reported to the county clerk and re-
corder and these cover the whole coun'

L. R. PIPER STILL MISSING.
Relatives of Ohio Banker Have Given
Him Up as Dead.

The story that Leroy r. Piper had
been located in Washington appears to
have been not true. The relatives of
Piper, who was lost in the National
park near the Fountain hotel last
summer, still do not know his where
abouts, and they believe him dead.
Last September a soldier in the park
said that Piper had employed camper
to take him out Of the park by way OF
| Monida, and that he had not been lost
at all. The story also related that
Piper had been seen in Washington,
D. c., since his disappearance. That
story appears TO BIZ c~ontroverted by
the following special to the Chicago
Times-Herald from Wapakoneta, O.,
dated Dec. IA:
1.-THE family of Leroy r. Piper
cashier of the First National bank and
a wealthy young business man of St.
Marys, who mysteriously disappeared
July 80 last at Yellowstone park while
on a business and pleasure trip to the
Pacific coast, has given up all hope OF
his return and has secured the ap-
pointment Of 0. E. Dunan as admins
traitor of his estate. At the time MI.
Piper disappeared the best detectives
were employed, and a systematic
search of the park was made without
finding any trace of the young man.
Several theories were advanced, one
that his mind became unbalanced and
he wandered away. another that be
was murdered for what money he hao
with him, and a third that he acci
dentally fell into n Of the pools. O.

Harry Mann, the eldest son of Mr..

PEELED to suffer the removal of his left
eye, which is totally blind.
It will be remembered by fmany of
The Gazette readers that last March
he was acoidently shot in the eye by a
buckshot from an air rifle in the
hands Of a playmate. The injured eye
was examined and treated, it being
thought that the sight could be saved.
For some time the little fellow has
been unable to see out of the injured
eye and an examination a few days
ago disclosed the fact that the nerves
were dead and an operation should be
performed SO as to preclude any posi-
bility of the other eye becoming dis
eased. The injured eye will be re-
moved in a few days

PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR.
Declares Amendment Carried and Anr0unc

Declares Amendment Carried and Announc-
es 1t Part Of Constitution.
Governor Robert B. Smith Tuesday
issued a proclamation declaring the
amendment to section five of article
eight of the constitution, submitted to
a popular vote of the people at the
last election, adopted.
The amendment was carried by a
vote Of 1859 against 1896 and pro-
yides that where one or more judges
of the supreme court is by any reason
disqualified to sit, the remaining
Judge may call one Or more district
Judges to sit in the case that the
members of the supreme bench are dis
qualified to sit in, and a decision given
by the court so constituted shall have
the same force and effect as other
decisions of the court.
If the Legislature increases the su-
preme court to five members the
amendment will have but little effect
as it is scarcely probably that al IN
stance will arise where o than
two members of the court would be
disqualified in any one case. II the
legislature does not, however, y
crease the bench the amendment will
enable the court to proceed with its
business, where one or more judges
are disqualified.

TOOK 1T UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Question Submitted to Judge Knowles for
First Time. RS

Question Submitted to Judge Knowles for
First Time. ssEs
Judge Knowles in the United
States court in Helena Tuesday heard
arguments On the motion of counsel
for Annie Olson to dismiss the pro-
ceeding in bankruptcy brought by Ed
ward r. Naples. The argument was
on a question never before raised in
Judge Knowles court.
Naples, who lives in Custer. county,
sought to be declared a bankrupt.
His only liability Of consequence was
a Judgment for 49,, $50 obtained
against him in the district court by
Miss Olson, who charged him with
seduction. The motion to dismiss
the action in the bankruptcy court
was made on the ground that the
court did not have jurisdiction to adj
judge a person a bankrupt when there
were no debts against that person ex-
cept a Judgment for personal injuries.
The question before the court was
whether enough was disclosed by the
record to show that the Judgment
was for personal injuries.
The bankruptcy law provides that
debts for personal injuries are exempt
from the provisions Of the law-that
is, that a person otherwise a bankrupt
cannot secure exemption from re-
s%ponsibility from a judgment for per
sonal injuries.
George W Farr, of Miles City, rep
resented Miss Olson, and T. J. Porter
appeared for Naples.
Judge Knowles took the case under
~advisement.
This is a continuance Of the case
heard by Referee Firth in this city a
few weeks ago.

WILL COME HOME EACH WEEK.
Rev. G. c. Stull, Representative-Elect
Will Fill His Own Pulpit.

Rev. G. @. Stull of Billings, repre-
sentative-elect from Yellowstone
county, will supply his own pulpit dur
ing the time the legislature is in
session, his plan being to come home
each Saturday morning or evening,
preaching on Sunday and returning to
Helena Monday. This will necessitate
some hard work on the part Of the
chaplain, but he believes himself fully
able to do it. This arranee1hent will
be much more satisfactorily to his
church constituents than BY having a
supply preacher come here for the two
months that he is likely to be kept at
Helena in assisting to make good laws
for the Treasure state.

FOUR CASES.
Police Court Has Light Grist-Twelve
Day Sentence.

The police court had four cases on
Tuesday morning, Judge Mann dis
posing of them in rather quick order.
Fred Heagy, a barber, who has a
family in Billings and has been car
ousing for about four weeks, was up
for vagrancy. He promised to leave
town within the next 10 hours if per-
mitted to go his way. Sentence was
suspended.
Juddie Dram, the Helena kid, who
ran away from his home sometime ago
and was up before the court only a
week since, was given a sentence Of
IL days work on the streets for being
a vagrant.
M. Beaudoin was arrested for being
drunk and disturbing the peace. He
confessed the former charge, but de.
MED the latter. He was given a
chance to leave the city. Beaudoin
is the man whom J. H. johnson as
saulted about a week ago.
Ethel Harwell, is a man who hat
been around town for sometime, but
SO far as the officers know has only
done a weeks work. He was accord.
ingly sentenced to do five days worl
on the street.

ty for the period. For 1899 three
deaths are recorded and during the
current year not more than a dozen
have been reported.
During the same period 1875 births
were reported, less than the number
that usually occur during one year.
without a penalty the law re-
quiring physicians to report deaths
and births is little better than a
farce" said a county official today.
''There has been in some cases abso-
lutely no attempt to complay with the
law. It is very important that these
records be complete. In fact the rec
ord of mortality and births is almost
Indispensable. People looking up lost
relatives. and those wishing to estab-
lish identity of persons find these
records often the only way of proving
or determining identity.
II think it is pure oversight on the
part Of the physicians. All Of them
doubtless know of the existence Of the
law and their failure to comply with
it's provisions is more oversight and
neglect than anything else. If a PEN
atty was attached to a failure to re-
port deaths and births, all would make
it a point to contribute everything
that would add to the completeness
Of these records.
What is true in Lewis and Clarke
county is probably equally true in
nine out of every ten counties i'll the
state, if not all of them. In Yellow
stone county the physicians for a
time complied with the law, but of
recent years have made no effort to do

been a widespread rumbH that the
Rocky Mountain company intended to
build a line into this city from the
west and then south to Deadwood.
This rumor wat occasioned by the
company's building into Big Timber
and stopping there.
The city council OF Billings will be

this city and there seems to be no
doubt but what the request will be
granted. Mr.. Sommers will come to
Billings on january 2 and appear be-

request.

great service in the Rocky Mountain
country. Already the Bell people

extend the line from Big Timber east
to the North Dakota line by way OF

east, and to go south over the Burling.
ton to Deadwood and there connect
with another branch from Denver.
A separate branch will be built out

The company will rent headquarter
