Closing Out Sale At Cost
A LARGE HORSE e A
Six Thousand Head Sold in Northern
Montana.

One of the largest horse deals ever
made in northern Montana was closed
yesterday by the sale Of 1000 head
Of range horses belonging to the Flow
cree Stock and Sheep company to G.
j. Thomas at a price of $35 a head,
the entire amount footing up to $140,-
900, says the Great Falls Leader.
The FloweTee band Of horses is con-
sidered one of the best bands on the
range. The shipment of the animals
will be made from Great Falls, the
first trainload leaves for Indiana,
where the whole 1000 head will be
sen on June 1.
j. G. Jamison, the horse dealer, yes.
terday bought 1000 head of horses
from the Morris outfit and they will
also be shipped east from Great Falls
during the early part of June.
A prominent horse dealer said yes
terday:
"The prices for western range stock
is. excellent and the prospect is even
better. There is increasing dmand for
wstern horses in the east and the
South African war has also. sent the
prices up. Aside from the latter
reason, however, l predict an increase
in the demand for horses and also
better prices in the future. The bi-
cycle and the automobile have not
relegated the horse to the back seat
vet and never will"

At the present rate at which stock
is being shipped in from the south
the increase in herds in this section
of the state will not fall much below

within a few days ago the outlook for
the stockmen of eastern Montana vas

stockmen were in the south making
purchases in the face of what looked
like an extremely bad The
rain of a few days ago came, as a
blessing to them and insures grass for
months, and gives them plenty of faith
that the season is going to be all that
could be desired.
The past ten days have been busy

Burlington yards, the majority of the

DEATH or MRS. s. r. MILLER.
Passes Away on Eve Of Her Depart
ure For Pacific Coast.

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Mrs. Miller wife of Mr.. s. R. Mil
Ter, died very suddenly at her home
on North Twenty-eighth street and
Second avenue yesterday afternoon
at 1925 o'clock.
Her death came as a great shock
to the family as Mrs. Miller had been
in very good health Of late, and had
made preparation for her departure
to the Patio coast in company with
her husband, and expected to leave
yesterday forenoon. Early in the
morning Mrs. Miller felt ill and DR..
Rinehart was called. She complained
of headache and vomitted consider
ably. This was thought at the time
to be only a disorder of the stomach.
After prescribing for her, the physi-
clan left, saying he would return
shortly after. 10 o'clock, SO that in
Ease Mrs. Milrer's condition became
better she might go on the North
Coast Limited. When the doctor re-
turned he found her worse, the trou-
BILE proving to be a rupture of one OF
the blood vessels of the brain. He
appraised the family that Mrs. Miller
could survive but a short time, and at
1925 p. m. she passed away.
Anna Margaret Martina was married
to S. R. Miller in the town of Flor.
ence, Neb., July Z, 1850. From there
they removed to Utah, thence to
Montana in 1878 After a ive-years'
residence in the city of Bozeman they
came to Billings and have since re
sided here. The deceased was 81
years of age last April. A husband
and five grown children are left to
mourn her death, the latter being
Mrs. Anna Montana O'Neal, residing
at Wibaux; Mrs. Mary A. Rademak'
er, of this city; Martin and James
Miller of this county and Mrs. Pru
dence Laura Terrell of Silesia. All
the family are in the city.
The funeral will be held at the
Methodist church tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock and will be conducted by
Rev. G. C. Stull, the deceased having
made a request some time ago that
when she died Mr.. Stull should off
ciate. at her funeral. .

Mrs. J. H. Rinehart Hostess to Club
Members and Friends.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The Billings Woman's club which
completed it's work for the season
yesterday afternoon, was entertained
in a most delightful last
night together with the husbands and
gentlemen friends of the members, at
the home OF DR.. and Mrs. ]. H. Rine-
hart. The evening could not have
been more suspicious for the occasion.
Mrs. Rinehart had contemplated a
lawn party, but the rainy weather in
terfercd, causing a change in the ar
rangeI4ent of the hostess. The real
lawn OF the Rinehart place is a bow
err of beauty, consisting OF climbing
roses and vines, and, it had been de-
cided to cover this with a canopy
and have the entertainment take place
thereon. But the interior Of the home
presented just as pretty an appear
ance as could be anticipated. The
club colors, scarlet and white, greet
ed one on every hand. There were
vases of carnations, a %profusion of
plants and palms and clusters of
snowballs. The colors were also car
ried out in the refreshments.
Mrs. Clement, Mrs. Brayton and
Mrs. Railsback as a reception commit,
tee assisted Mrs. Rinehart.
The programme for the evening, an
informal one, consisted of toasts and
music. Mrs. Brayton, the retiring
president of the club, OBLIGATED as
toastmistress. The following were the
subjects: "The Ladies'" Dr.. ]. H. Rine'
hart; "Our Guests-the Gentlemen

NO NEED OF A STOMACH.
Carl Kruger, Who Has His Removed,
.. Dimes With His Family.

Chicago Tribune: pass the mash
ed potatoes, please" said Carl Krue-
ger today at his little cottage home,
979 Winnemac venue.
'"Take another cup of coffee, too,"
said his wife, as she handed the pota-
to dish across the table.
Carl Kruger is the only man in
Chicago without a stomach, and he
went home today from the Illinois
Medical college, where he had his
stomach cut out three weeks and four
days ago by DR.. B. B. Eads. A deadly
cancer had fastened itself upon the
organ, involving every portion of it.
Like a man risen from the tomb,
Kruger entered the doorway of his
little cottage home today-every e S
tige of the horrible pain gone,> able to
walk, and on the road to rapid re-
covery. Neither he nor his wife, nor
his four children, ever expected that
he would pass the portal alive again.
But Kruger left his stomach at the
college, where it is carefully preserv-
ed in alcohol, as testimony to n of
the most remarkable surgical opera
lions ever successfully performed in
Chicago or in the world.
Mrs. Kruger, the good wife, in hon
or of the marvellous return of her
husband to health, got up an extra
good dinner. After Kruger had rest
ed for a while from the long ride in
the carriage from the hospital, he was
able to take a seat at the table with
his family, and for the first time in
many months he enjoyed a meal at
home.
A stomach isn't such a very impor-
tant thing, after all. People used to
think it couldn't be dispensed with,
but DR.. Schlatter, over in Zurich,
Switzerland, thought otherwise, so
he cut a woman's stomach out, and to
the wonder and dismay of all the
famous surgeons all over the world,
the woman lived, and is still alive.
But only one operation of the kind
ever proved successful in the United
States, previous to Krueger's case.
DR.. Brigham, in San F%rancvisco, per-
formed it, and the patient lived.
There were lots of good things at
Mrs. Krueger's dinner table today.
Besides the mashed potatoes and the
coffee, there was matted milk, and
chicken soup, and savory extract of
beef, and bread and butter. There
was pie, too, with. fluffy white some
th%ing-or-other on top of it, but al
though Mr.. Kruger eyed it with sus-
picious 'eagerness, he didn't eat it.
He did eat mashed potatoes, nicely
seasoned with salt and butter, and he
drank the coffee and the matted milk.
Then he reached for his pipe, but the
good wife vetoed the proposition.
In the course of a few days Krue-
ger will be able to chew a porter
house steak-but he mustn't swallow
any part OF it except the juice. From
now on he is a vegetarian, pure and
simple-except that he can eat pre-
pared meat foods in liquid form. His
diet will consist of most any kind of
vegetables, thoroughly cooked, bread,
cereals and milk. He will not have
to go hungry, and the intestines will
do the work that his stomach used
to do before he was sick.

Lincoln Would Have PapdOnpd

The British War Office is undergoing
harsh criticism for its treatment OF the
soldiers who have been brough from South
Africa for Sleeping on post. Although this
offenSe is one Of tie most heinous in the
military category, it is charged that the
government is too severe in its methods OF
punishment. No one denies that a soldier
who is caught sleeping on post during time
of war should be made to suffer for it, but
it is asserted that such soldiers are not crimi-
nalS in the ordinary sence of the word and
should not be treated as such. Forty OF
tLem recently arrived in Engla-d from the
Cape sentenced to from three TO ten years
peral sefvitu'e. They have been saut TO
the regular perltentarieS, put INTO convict
clothes and made to 1--we with criminals OF
every description, from Iorgers and embezz,
ers to murderer3.- The common belief In
England seems to be that these men are
not only goins to be punished tor their
ASSOCIATION with that class. There are no
military prisons, where no distinction is
made between them and The lowest order OF
convicts The war office says in defense
that example must be made OF these men
and no no punishment is too harsh for the
offenSe.

There 5 Beer Too Much Politics

The complaints of young mer who are
disms: ed from West Point and Az apolis
for bazing or other breaches of discipline are
likely to meet lclth chilling response from
the pubic. The five cadets sent away from
West Point a few days ago have just been
joined in exile by two more from the same
place and one from Annapolis says New
York paper. The offenders declare, howe
yer, that, having failed to 'cork upon the
sympathy of the Cabinet officers, they pur
pose to bring the matter before Congress.
Their altitude is not altogether surprising,
for they doubtless know that hitherto poll.
teal influence has played altogether too
large part in the discipline both of the
army and of the military school.

Clark Bought A Seat In the

Now He's After Rail roads.

Perry S. Heath, Secretary Of the Repu-
blican National Committee, passed through
Washington the other day, on his loay from
Europe to Los Angeles. Mr.. Heath's bust
ness in the West is in connection with "a
new railroad, which he and Senator Clark
of Montana and Senator KearnS of Utah
are constructing from Los Angeles to Salt
Lake City. The three men were travelling
together in Europe recently when they
heard that some one had begun to throw
ties across the line of their project, and
they all started for home. 1t seems that
one of the other roads running out of Los
Angeles did not like the prospect of CON-
peton, and was trying to head off the sche
me by buying the right of way which the
Heath road wanted. The new promoters
have secured, it is said, two magnificent
terminals, one on the famous San Pedro
harbor, just south of Los Angeles, and the
other is in the heart of the Mormon
capital.

VenIY Of Timber,
In Sight For President Making.

President McKinley's statement that he
is not candidate for a third term, and
would not accept denomination if it wer1
rendered to him, has turned attention
airesh to the possible candidates for the sue.
cessiou. There is no lack of such on the
Republican side. In making catalogue We
might safely take, as beginning, list of
Senators of the United States belonging to
that party, including their presiding officer.
Fifty three OF these will be disappointed, and
it would be safe acager that the fifty fourth
will not get the prize, writes n. Y. Cor
respondent. Governors of States have had
better luck than Senators during the present
generation. There are some such noac who
are well within the range of choice, but
as it is not our custom to make nominations
so long beforehand, we shall not do vioien.
ce to their modesty by mentioning them.
There are no Generals or Admirals who
stand out with sufficient dstinctness to
make one of them probable choice three
years hence. AS for Judges, the unwritten
law which runs against the union Of things
political and judicial is still in force, and
ought to continue so.

Torn To ShredS.

The Magdeburger Zeitung discusses the
Monroe doctrine in the following article.
"That the disgracefull attack on Germa.
ny of which Senator Lodge, of MassacLu-
settS, was guilty at the opening of the Pan
American Exhibition at Buffalo would ex-
cite lite protest from the Anglo American
Qress was to be expected. On the other
uand, one would have imagined that the
GermanAmerican newspapers would have
sufficiently strong sense of justice to pro-
test against Mr.. Lodges utterances.
This unfortunately has not been the
case. The Staats- Zeitung has shown itself
more American than the Americans and
has advocated the complete carrying out OF
the Monroe doctrine in spite OF the fact
that this doctrine has been torn to shreds
by the Americans themselves.

Tells the Time of Day.

In Zurich very novel ioatch has just
been made. 1t forms the cup or heart of a
jewelled flower, which is intended to be worn
as an ornament. The flower itself can be
opened or closed by touching tiny spring,
and when it is closed the little watch is not
visible. When lady wearing such an Or
nament desires to know the time all she has
to do is to touch the spring, whereupon the
flower opens and the scatch is revealed.
The little watch IS hardly five milimetres
in size, and it is fastened to the dress by an
ordinary safety pin. The artist who designed
this timepiece sold it for $500 few DAYS
after he finished it, and now the beautiful
level flower Is attracting so much attention
that there is little doubt many similar wat
ches will be fashioned in the near future.
