1.-THE summer and autumn occasionally
range to the height of 5000 to 5000 feet,
where in many parts of the state they find
excellent pastures. AS rule. however in
Montana good range is not to be found
above 1000 feet. With regard to the graz
ing of sheep In timber, II may be said that
this is not practiced in Montana. AS a rule,
there is no vegetation under trees which
is desired by sheep. and il is exceedingly
difficult to manage large bands of them in
timber.
Stockmen have observed for many years
that during the spring months poisoning is
apt to occur after heavy rains This MAJ -
be said to be a general belief of stock
raisers, and ii is supported by numerous
observations. Various explanations have
been offered for this fact. 1t has been sug-
e. sted that certain plants may be more
poisonous when wet with fresh rain or dew
than under other conditions. but there
seems to be no ground for such a SUPPOSE
ton. The local rain storms. usually ae-
companied by electrical disturbances, are
often almost in the nature Of cloud bursts.
and are ordinarily very severe. The ground
is so thoroughly soaked by these storms
that large underground bulbs and thick
tuberous roots are easily pulled out of the
ground attached to the stems. There
seems to be no reasonable explanation of
poisoning being more frequent after rs in
storms, except this loosening of the roots
of poisonous plants.

The regular monthly meeting of the board
of police commissioners was held last night
in the police court room, with Commission
er Herbert Bryant in the chair. Former
Sergeant James r. Smith was summoned to
answer the charge of violating section 80
of the police rules, which provide that all
orders to the men on the force shall be
transmitted through the chief or some
other officer acting in his stead. After
hearing considerable evidence the officer
was exonerated from any blame In his
own behalf Officer Smith stated that on
the morning in question he had been in
formed by the chief that the mayor had
detailed him Smith to collect the corpora
ton licenses. The witness stated that
Chief Webster had received the message
over the telephone from Mayor Simpson.
After concluding his evidence the officer
told the commissioners that he objected to
being brought before them often to
stand trial on trifiing charges.
Section 90 of the police rules and regula-
lions was passed as amended. This sec
ton. as before stated, requires change
of the policemen at the station house every
two months. a resolution was also adopt
ed whereby the board may, if it sees fit.
employ counsel to have the rule enforced
by recourse to litigation, if it is opposed
Dy Mayor simpson Inc latter mas de-
clared that he will utterly ignore the rule.
He makes the simple statement that there
will be no change of the men at the police
station.
In regard to the case of Policemen Lyles
and Wilkinson, who had been summoned
before the commissioners to stand trial on
the charge of assaulting Lieut.. Smith, but
who resigned from the force a few days
ago. the board passed resolution setting
forth that as the accused officers had
failed to appear for trial their guilt was
shown. The resolution directed their re-

last night by Chief Webster and Policeman
Weston Atkinson, before the board of po-
lice commissioners. regarding the receiving
of a telephone message at the station
house, Mayor Simpson this morning order
ed Chief Webster to have all messages re-
ceived over the telephone recorded In writ

and approved by the officer in charge
Chief Webster stated to the commissioners
that he had been called to the telephone
by Officer Atkinson on the occasion when
Mayor Simpson transmitted his order de-
failing Officer Smith to collect corporation

by sickness on the date in question. This
was confirmed by an examination of the
record book.

tient to o long series Of experiments
with nervines and tonics. The reason
he does not often make cure is be-
cause he does not recognize the trouble.
In large majority of the cases ca
tarrh Of the female organs Is the cause.
Peruna relieves these cases promptly
because 1t cures the catarrh. Peruna is
not palliative or a sedative or a ner-
vine or q stsmulant. 1t is a specific
for catarrh and cures catarrh wherever
it may Turk In the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna ut last. AS she says, the doc
tors did not seem to understand what
the trouble was and the medicine no
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark at once
and she Is now recommending this
wonderful remedy to all the other girls
in the United States.
Thousands of the girls who look a.
her beautiful face and read her sincere
testimonial, will be led to try Peruna
in their times Of trouble and critical
periods. Peruna will not fail them.
Every one OF them will be glad and it
is to be hoped that their enthusiasm
will lead them to do as this girl did
proclaim the fact to the world so that
others may read it and do likewise.
