That Are

of knowledge always pays the best in- terest."
 W. l.. Alden, who is always humorous and oftentimes facetlous, in spite of his erudi- ton, in a recent letter bemoans the fact that Dr. Conan Doyle has volunteered to go to South Africa as a soldier. MT. Alden thinks that If Inc really intends to go he ought to go as surgeon, a post for which he is abundantly qualified. Then when his patients were convalescent he could kindly read to them extracts from his unpublished manuscripts MT. Alden does not wish any excessive emigration of authors to the Cape, though he is willing to spare few minor poets who might devastate Boer camps with their poetry. Upon second thought. however, he decided that this might furnish the Boers with pretext for calling for the intervention of Europe.
 
 It is said that the first literary work by MT F. Marion Crawford was done for the oid weekly Critic, and that his career did not begin with MT. Isaacs as is often sup posed. The editors talk interestingly of MT Crawford, whom they remember well as a | most facile writer. MT. Crawford on being | asked for an article, no matter on what sub 1. .tect, no matter on what subject would im- mediateqy sit down and in almost m,cro- scopc characters would fill page after page, without pause or erasure setting down names, dates and circumstances that proved tlhe writer to have an almost encyc1opedc i. brain. It is safe to say that there are very
 very few writers of whom this could be l said; yet M is easy to believe of the author whom we have grown ito admire and love i through the manifold creat tions of his brain. For years one of tho most interesting 1it- l tie shops in London was the cid book store of Bernard Inar't-ll. For it was saad to be the most valuable collection of the kind in the world.

A MILLION A DAY
Unique Daily Street Scenes in New
 York Bank District
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 It needs a chain gang of bank clerks to carry million in money across Broadway, and this happens near Cedar street morning and evening every day except Saturday, and morning and noon on Saturday.
 Cble cars and wagons stop for the human caravan, and men with hair-trigger revolv- CTS watch it wind slowly across the street, through lane of excited pedestrians and impatient horses
 Its locomotion is slow because each in- dvidual in the string is weighted down with a burden heavier than the iron ball that any convict drags at his foot.
 It Is literally a chain gang, although no chain is apparent to the naked eye There are two of them, but they masquerade as ropes of red leather connecting twin rows of dumpy iron dispatch boxes in which is stored enough wealth to enrich every per- son within hail of the strange procession
 This Is the device by which the American Exchange National bank pending the com pletion of its sky-seraper home sends it's valuables to bed every night and reclams them in the morning. The banks tempor ary office Is in the Boreel building 115 Broadway. There are no vaults there strong enough to protect the wealth of the institution, whose old home at the north- west corner of Cedar street and Broadway was torn down to make way for the build ing now under construction.
 In this predicament the bank makes use of the strong rooms of the deposit com pany just across Broadway.
 Knowing what ingenious and desperate plots criminals would make to capture some part of its possessions in transit, the of- ficers of the bank were at pains to invent a method most likely to baffle the cupidi- ty of the dishonest. They believe that the chain gang meets all requirements.
 One of these clerks might be assaulted, but his dispatch box .could not be torn from the chains. One of them might be corrupted, but he could not run away with his burden.
 The coming of the procession at 4:10 each evening is s.gnalzed by the appearance at the front door of the Boreel building of the banks detective, McDougall, an old Head- quarters man. He raises his hand as a signal to the policeman on the crossing and the latter forthwith stops traffic.
 Then issue forth the harnessed clerks between their long red traces, each bur dened with two boxes filled with gold and silver and notes.
 McDougall marches at the head and two armed watchmen bring up the rear. while vigilant men with guns command the scene from the windows of the bank.
 At S:3O in the morning the process is re- versed.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effect
 ual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to uncurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sen- sation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or water risings, formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, fckle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen 1t would show a slimy, unframed condition. The cure for this common and bstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly dgested before 1t has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do
 and when normal digestion is secured the
 catarrhal condition will have disap- peared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
 and best treatment Is to use after each
 each meal tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
 and fruit acids. These tablets can now
 be found at all drug stores under the name
 of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not
 being a patent medicine can be used with
 perfect safety and assurance that healthy
 appetite and thorough digestion will fol-
 low their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn St.,
 Chicago, H., writes: "Cataarh ds local
 condition resulting from neglected cold
 in the head. whereby the lining membrane
 of the nose becomes fnflamed and the pois-
 onous discharge therefrom passing back
 ward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
 Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for cataarh of stomach with 1t cure, but today I am the happiest of
 men after using only one box of Stuarts
 Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro-
 priatn words to express my good feeling.
 I have found flesh, appetite and sound

 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
 preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious

Identified the Karc Fossir

The late Professor Marsh, of Yale college, the eminent paleontologist had quiet wit, relates the Saturday Evening Post. Once a facetious student brought him a bone scraped and cut in fantastic fashion. The class knew of the plan to deceive the scientist
 "I think, Professor, that this is a very rare fossil"
 The doctor looked at the bone, then at the student, finally centering his gaze upon the latters knee:

 Great bodies move slowly, and perhaps that is the reason why it has required such an unconscionably long time to get the commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Mary land to act in union in the matter of re- storing the stone posts which mark the famous Mason and Dixon line.

The illus trations are noteworthy, and bear evidence to the fact that if we have not progressed very greatly in the value of literary articles our artists have certainly improved in their pencil work, both in technique and finish. The difference in time is not in evidence in the character of the illustrated joke. One pictures a man. partially dressed, accosting his wife in his unfortunate situation. She

S BE EXAMINED.


The rumor that physical eXamina-
lions would be required of Union Pa
cific employees has resolved itself into
a certainty. A bulletin was posted to-
day calling upon employees in any way
connected with the train service to pre-
pare to undergo the ordeal. Those af-
fected by the order include all agents,
operators, conductors, b%rakemen,
switchmen, firemen, engineers, section
foremen and watchmen. The eXamin-
alton will relate more particularly to
vision and hearing and is said to be
very rigid. The examinations are to
be taken at once. 1t is not stated
what will happen if a man fails to pass;
but it is not believed hat in every case
a slight defect will work a dismissal
from the service.
The same plan has been recently tried
on the Oregon Short Line and it is said
20 per cent of the employees failed to
stand the test. The plan has been
abandoned on hal road, however, as
it was found that the company would
lose nearly all of its best men if strict
ly adhered to.

church, arrived in Butte today from

Mr.. Woodruff stated that he was de-

said that he and his colleagues would

in all probability they would decide to

considerable difficulty on ccount of

ATTORNEYS EIGHT.

A Trial before a justice of the
peace at Thermopolis last Thurs
day resulted in a physical en-
counter between two attorneys, and
in consequence thereof the left eye of
]. w. Porter, of Basin, is in temporary
mourning, and w. S. Collins, also of
Basin, deposited $40 with Justice Gregg
as a penalty for allowing his passion
full sway and striking Porter.
The Big Horn Pilot says that the
trouble arose during the trial of the
case of Jerry w. Carney VS.. Mrs. Lizzie
zimmerman before Justice Gregg.
Carney had sued Mrs. Zimmerman for
S105, which he claimed was due him for
labor performed. Mrs. Zimmerman con
tested the claim, declaring that she had
made no agreement to pay Carney
money for his work, it being ner I'M
derstanding that he was working for
his board. She also put in a counter
claim for a horse which she had given
Gainey.
was during the arguments that the
attorneys got into trouble. Mr.. Porter
charged Mr.. Collins with what he con-
sidered unprofessional practice. Col
Inns Indignantly denied the charge and
Porter repeated it.. Then followed a
few sharp thrusts with noisy adjectives
and louder nouns. Suddenly Collins
struck Porter over the left eye. Porter
grabbed a chair and started for his op-
ponent, and had it not been for the in
,terference of Justice Gregg, a fight
would nave resulted.
Last Friday Justice Gregg called Col
Inns into his court and fined him 81 for
contempt, which Collins good-natured-
ly paid. Later in the day Collins was
arrested and charged with assault and
battery, on a complaint signed by
Porter. Collins was arraigned before
Justice Gregg, ]. S. Kerr appearing for
the prosecution. The defendant plead
ed guilty and was fined $40. After it
was all over all the parties interested
treated the elimination of the incident
as a joke.

Saturday afternoon Foley, who seems
to be the leader of the revolt, sent a re-
quest for County Attorney Sammon to
visit him. Sommon in response to the
request went to the Jail, and being ad-
mitted, had a half hour interview with
Foley. Mr.. Sammon tried to convince
apparently little success. The prisoner
seemed melancholy, sullen and de-
termined. He said the community was
down on him, hat there was a con
spiracy TO do him up and that he had
made up his mind hat he might just
as well die with his boots on.

The prisoners in the county Jail at
Evanston made a bold break for liber-
ty Friday afternoon. At about A Z o'clock
as Deputy Sheriff sherwood entered
the main corridor to feed the prison
ers he was met by William Foley, a
most desperate character. who in some
mysterious manner had got possession
of a revolver. He instantly covered The
deputy with the gun and commanded
him to throw up his hands. The depu-
ty was completely surprised and for a
moment tried to parley with the man,
but finally seeing that Foley was in
desperate earnest. he complied with the
order and surrendered.
Two other prisoners with Foley then
took Deputy Isherwood's revolver,
overcoat and all the Jail keys. They
were preparing to leave the building
when City Marshal S. NJ. Smith hap
pened to come in.
Smith had just opened the iron door

room from the main prison corridor and
was Just stepping into the corridor
when Foley covered him with his six
shooter and ordered him to throw up
his hands. Instead of complying Smith
quickly lodged back and slammed the
door shut. Smith, though quite an old
man, is of extraordinary powerful
build.
AS he shut the door he quickly brac-
ed his back against it and held it clos
| ed against the combined efforts of the
prisoners to force it open. At the same
time Smith called loudly for help and
very soon several men came to his as
%sistance.
Thus foiled in their first attempt

attempted to interfere with them.
Sheriff Ward was early upon the scene

folly but it was no use. Foley declared

der.
Things remained in this attitude I'M

prosecution, arrest and Imprisonment.
claiming $4,000 damages. The papers
in the case filed this afternoon charge
the county attorney with swearing out
a warrant before Justice Martin charg-
ing Miskimmons with having obtained
money under false pretenses. 1t is
claimed that he demanded an immedi-

prevented from attending to his bust
ness, compelled to pay large attorney
fees, etc. For these reasons he claims
damages in the sum of 5 5000.
