IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE.
Northern Pacific and Burlington
Run More Trains.

Run More Trains.
The Northern Pacific, in conjunc-
ton with the Burlington, will inaugu.
rate a triple train service on the Mon
tana division of the Northern Pacific
next Sunday. August Is. The only
addition to the present service. how
ever. will be that the Burlington pass.
enger train will be run through to
Helena instead Of stopping at Billings.
This is made necessary on account of
the tremendous park travel both on
the Burlington and Northern Pacific.
During the past month the Northern
Pacific trains from St. Paul have been
pulling II and 10 coaches on every
train as far as Livingston, and in ad-
dition to taking on all of the Burling-
toms passengers at Billings they have
been handling all the local business
in Montana. The result has been late
trains and unsatisfactory service. Be-
ginning next Sunday the Burlington
trains will run as far as Helena, and
beside carrying their park tourists to
Livingston will also take care of the
greater part of the local travel on the
Montana division, the object of the
arrangement being to relieve Nos. 3
and 4 of the Northern Pacific.

STRUCK A BONANZA.

Brothers in Madison County Said to
be Rapidly Becoming Wealthy.
Two brothers named Finch own a
little gold mine in Norwegian gulch,
near Norris, in Madison county, which
is fast making them rich, says the
Record.
The mine consists of little vein of
gold-bearing quartz, between five and
seven inches wide. No complicated
machinery is needed to work this
mine The two brothers extract the
ore and crush it in a little hand NOR
tar and then wash it in a common
gold-washing pan.
Every day for the last week they
have cleaned up about $4,000 a day,
and still there is no sign of a let-up
in the production of their mine. A
few days ago third brother, who
originally owned third interest in
the mine, fell sick and disposed of his
interest for $4,000 in cash. as he
had to seek a change in climate.

SOME REMEDIES
THAT WIN RENOWN.

THAT WIN RENOWN.
When William and Tully, the Quak-
er Heaters, came to Kallspell they
brought with them testimonials of
high character. They have remained
to demonstrate the fact that these ex-
pressions of good will were fully de-
served. Whenever they have distri-
buted the original Quaker remedies
the ones of the kind protected by
copyright in the United States, there
they can return and successfully con-
tinue business at the old stand. Each
one of them is popular, cultured
gentleman and their visit OF the people
of Kalispell has resulted in mutual
satisfaction.
Now that polysyllabic word, "satis-
faction" possesses deep and COM
prehensive significance. In olden
days it meant to 60 out in the woods
and permit some lily-fingered aristo-
crat or wine-soaked military gent to-
take a pop-shot at you with horse
pistol. Among the "gams" it means a
return match at billiards, draw poker,
seven up or craps. The satisfaction"
of mortgage-chattel or otherwise
is a sweet boon to both sides of the
deal while the satisfaction offered by
sure specific for some chronic dis
ease is one that, indeed, comes home
to a man like a benediction. Such
happily, is the satisfaction afforded
BY and such the sense of the term ap-
piled to, the Quaker remedies. They
are, admittedly, a good thing and in
the work of their distribution through.
out the country, William & Tully, the
Quaker Healers, are energetically
pushing them along. From Portland,
Ore, through Idaho, Washington and
Montana, their course has been one
triumphal advance in campaign
against disease and misery. And
wherever the Quaker remedies have
been introduced they have won thous-
ands of friends and secured enthusiast
tic endorsement.
The method employed in their intro
duction is that of unique and artis-
tbs entertainment-an entertainment
that has for nearly two weeks delight
ed thousands of people in Kalispell.
The principal feature is a high-class
vaudeville quartette comprising Harry
and Maude Holmes, Pat and Fannie
Kelly, each star in his or her par
ticular line. Throughout the city of
Kalispell not one derogatory word has
been uttered against the character of
their specialties, while encOmiums
have been as the leaves of Vallambro-
sa. With an entire change of program
each and every evening they have
spared no efforts to contribute to the
enjoyment of old and young. And last
but not least, is the sensational high
diving act of the beautiful and intelli-
gent dog Dandy"

Do Carpets Shorten Lifes

Just think what a horrible receptacle
Of unclean things the carpet is in the
rich English or French house! Where
there are carpets, people should on en-
tering be given slippers, as in the Meth

ish mosque. Making servants sweep
carpets Is another proof that evil is
wrought for want of thought. Flou-

PosToFFIcE AN INDEX.
Evidence Of An Immense Increase In
Wichita Business.

WANittAG EAoiiCSSs
In conversation with J. +. .McCoy. dep
uty postmaster Of this city. yesterday a
reporter for the Eagle found that the
business OF the Wichita postoaice keeps
right along increasing in volume.
It is claimed that the postofAce IS a
good index OF business conditions and
that its receipts grow IN good times ard
decrease when there is stagnation n the
business Affairs Of the territory which is
tributary 20 the center where the post
Office is located. The Office here showed
an increase Of about thirty per cent for
the year ending on the 31st OF last March
over the preceding year The business
Of the Office IS double what II. was four
or five years ago which means that Wich
ita Is now doing double the business Il
did at the beginning Of President AIckln-
lcy's administration.
There have recently been some changes
in the mana cement Of the Office here and
the causes that b~ing thin about are IN
terestng- The Office used to pay the
carriers ard clerks with checks on the
bank in this city where ths funds OF the
orce was kept That custom has been
charged and now they ara al PAID ~
cash. When the employees OF the CCv-
ernment we're raid IL check & was found
that they would take the check home
and put 4 away CT carry Il fl their
pockets until they needed the money,
w hich sometimes was several months.
Sometimes the postmaster would have his
baakbook balanced. he would fnd a large
amount Of money II ths bank % his
credit There would be 4 great deal

What Famous Field Of Wichita Wheat
Is Making.


Is Making.
z. S. Groves walked into the EazIs
ofhce yesterday and dropped a handful
Of wheat on the table and said: What
do you think OF that?" The wheat sp-
peared to be al right, and then Mr..
Groves explained himself.
It's wheat from the famous field east
OF Chisholm creek, which the people Of
Wichita have been trying to destroy he
said 7 should judge i VIII run twenty
bushels TO the acre-but now. mind you
I am only guessing. I haven't word
70 say againstthat wheat field"
How is the berry,
well, the berry IS al right; It's all
right, but the man ought to have cut the
wheat about three days sooner and"
and then Groves caught himself and re-
fused 10 say anything more.
Right and south OF the famous wheat
field Mr.. Groves has IN 50 acres Of broom
corn It IS making a wonderful growth.
and Mr.. Groves is very proud Of it.
Yesterday a. c. Jobes and Joe Eous-
ton went out 10 see the wheat field and
fell into violent discussion over wheth-
or It should be threshed from the shock
or first stacked. Mr.. Jobes maintained
that It would be q burning mistake. not
TO have it go through the sweat. Hous-
ton claimed that there was no sense in
making the wheat sweat: asserted that
wheat never sweat anyhow and broke
open a grain and defed Mr. Jobes 70
Point a single speck of moisture. No
microscope being handy Jobes was knock
ed out Of the game. A great many peo-
pie arc dreadfully exercised over when
the wheat should be threshed. The man
who has charge OF the wheat viii prob
ably consult HIS own wishes

MADE A BIG YIELD
Wheat Outcome Was a Sur
prise to Everybody.
GRAIN IS PERFECTION
Nearly Every Sample More
Than Usual Weight

/ It is now settled fact that Sedgwiciz
county and the Arkansas valley down to
the souther Mine Of Oklahoma is not
going to have, but now has. one Of the
best wheat crops that has been harvested
in TINS section for many years. The far
mers are tubilant and every day they
come trooping into the Eagle once with
samples OF wheat that would take the
blue ribbon at an agricultural show any
where on earth outside Of Kansas or Ok
lahoma.
Their is reason for the smiles that play
on the faces Of the farmers. They are
already figuring on their bank accounts
And then the crop has been a surprise TO
everyone all the way through. A goodly
number of farmers thought the very dry
weather in the spring would cut the crop
short, but the spring was backward and
COOL and cool weather is just the thing to
mature the wheat plant All the time
the wheat was doing better than the
farmer expected.
The Eagle stood up for the wheat crop
when its enemies assaulted it with scab.
L4ght, rust, smut, chinch bugs, green
Dugs and humDugs, and that is the rea-
son the farmers bring their fine sam
pies OF wheat 10 this office or come in TO
