Drying preparations simply devel-

op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom-
pose, causing far more serious trouble than
the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry
ing inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuiIs
and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy
and will cure catarrh or cold in the head
easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be
mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the

Fatten Sheep at Home.

A new industry may be opened up for
the Yellowstone valley farmers should
an experiment, now being tried by Rae
Bros, the Fargo mutton buyers, prove to
be successful and profitable, says the
Rosebud County News. They have
put 5000 mutton sheep on the Miller
ranch, in Yellowstone county, which are
TO be fattened on alfalfa and grain.
Alfalfa feeding has been a leading and
profitable industry for several years,
but this is the first trial of combining
nutritious food with grain in this sec
ton. The feeders heal Fort Collins,
Col. have made a great success of feed
iag in this manner, obtaining their grain
from Nebraska, and there seems little
reason To doubt that the same industry
will prove equally successful in eastern
Montana. The course GENERALLY follow
Cd here has been to feed or alfalfa alone,
and then 70 finish the fattening process

THE National Live Stock Association
las a "hunch" that unless something IL
done by Copgressto relieve the situa-
ton, the COW will virtually jump over
the moon within the next few years, SO
far as beef prices are concerned. The
remedy proposed by the association will
be for some disposition of the govern
ment lands that will enable the big cat
tie companies to practically control the
ranges. Ranchers and small stockmen
are gradually acquiring the water fronts
and fencing their holdings to the ex-
clusion of the cattle king, hence his
desire to formulate a system of leasing
from the general government or els the
cession OF public lands to the states so
that they may be disposed of through
persons al influence. Leasing by the
general government would be a death
dow TO settlement n result IN no other
benefit than the farther enrichment of
those who are already rich enough to
buy cattle by the thousand. Cession to
the states would result in an -aggravation
of the conditions manifest in the present
conduct of the state land Office. the
association will hardly convince Congress
of its ph~ilanthropic intentions, for with
the upward tendency of beef prices the
desire to tinker with the land laws
saYors rather more of self interest than
OF charity. The and laws as they stand
at present are reasonably satisfactory to
the settler, except perhaps the stringent
requirements of the desert act, and if
that act is repealed an allowance of $40
acres under the homestead land would
be but simple justice, ii Congress would
assist those who are in reality, while
working for their own advancement,
solving the question of the arid West.

CHAPTER TX.
The Dark Hour.

"It seemed like a dream to Ulin
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was 1t possible
that a member of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion OF Julian's
seeking her for aid in behalf OF the
chieftain? She was trying to make
1t appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned.
The door was closed. and Abba re-
marked, as she took a seat:
He will be in the garden two hours
past midnight. my lady; and II we
can help him, we must do our work as
speedily as possible"
Help" repeated Ulin. gazing into
her attendants face. How can we
help Julian?'
"The thing may be possible" replied
Abba, in a thoughtful mood. III you
would serve him. think way can
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected u few mo-
ments, and then said:
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. can very easily
see how the powerful robber band.
moved to desperation by the death OF
their beloved leader. might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, II we can be the
means of averting 80 dire calamity,
it is our duty so to do"
81 think it is," added Abba.
But" continued Ulin, "if Julian is
| in the power of the king he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him?"
81 can think of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden. laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have a hand in guarding him. I judge
so from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case IL the
kings officers had known 1t. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude OF
this Osmir, and l think he is. by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom we found faint and
dying upon the shore of the lake. and
who must have died IL we had not
nursed him. You remember, the cir
cumstance?"
"He had almost been killed by some
slaves of Aleppo." explained Abba.

Even Family Secrstsi

The inquisitorial proceedings OF in
come-tax collectors in Austria are
source of great annoyance to self-re-
specting citizens. They pry into every
family secret, however delicate. But
now they do even more than that.
They attempt to check the income of
a man by finding out what is sent him
by rail. The inspector Of taxes at
Myslenice. in order to give the screw
another turn, has applied to the rail-
way managers for permission to send
an official to Makow station for n cer-
tain time in order to examine all par
cells sent there or thence. and find out
to whom or from whom they have
been sent. or course the purpose Of
such a demand is clear. Proof is re-
quired that certain persons spend
more, and therefore have a greater in
come than they have declared, thus
ignoring the fact that a man may pos
sibly live beyond his income. At the
same time it must be confessed that
there is great difficulty in getting
people to give truthful declarations.

bruised fist and sprained wrist, says
a Chicago paper. He has no complaint
to make, but finds satisfaction in
thinking of "the other fellow"
ONeill looks on the President OF the
United States with n respect too deep
to be measured. The President is
to the seaman the chief
of the army and navy. and that is
enough. O'Neill was standing at
Thirty-first street and Michigan ave-
nue. on Friday evening. He had just
heard of the attempt to assassinate
the President and his soul was filled
with wrath. While in this mood q
man stepped up.
Have you heard about Mckinley be-
ing shot?" the stranger inquired.
Yes; | Just heard the news min
ute ago." replied the able seaman.
well, he ought to be shot for
what"
The stranger never finished the SEN
tence. for O'Neill's fist landed on the
speakers mouth with force that sent
him sprawling in the street As he
scrambled to his feet he received an
other blow in the face that sent him
down again. Three times the stranger
measured his length on the ground.
Don't hit me again." he cried. "I'll
apologize; I'll apologize"
you bet you will apologize" said
O'Neill, "or III beat your head off.
President Mckinley is my superior Of
ficer, and no man can insult him while
I'm around"
A crowd gathered in a moment,
among whom were Several who had
witnessed the affair. When they told
others what the fight was about ex-
pressions of Indignation became so
loud and threatening that the stranger
made a quick escape down an alley.

In the somewhat turbulent state of
affairs In South America, where Vene-

well guarded by Capt. George Cook
Reiter, of the Wisconsin. The United

and should there be any serious inter-
ference with the International rail-
way. Capt Reiter Will take prompt ac-
ton.
Capt. Reiter is Pennsylvania by
birth, and was graduated from the
United States Naval Academy in 1865.
His progress through the various
grades OF the service has been steady,
and he has seen a variety of duties.
There Is scarcely station to which he
has not been attached, and he has had
considerable land duty. During the
Spanish American war he commanded

tained his present rank two years ago.

BILE, and last winter, the coldest we

spring this SNOW packed down TO a

peared within ten days when the tenn
perature rose to the required height.
Juneau is bound TO be the metropO-
lis of Alaska, as all travel has to go

A HEALTHY VOICE.
Faithful Practice VIII DO Much to
Acquire 1t.

Faithful Practice VIII DO Much TO
Acquire 1t.
A strong, sweet, beautiful voice is
greatly to be desired by every one,
says Health In some climates. like
Italy, for instance, the voices are al
most all fine. In other places where 1t
is cold and moist the voices are too
often bad. In the country, where the
young grow up in an out-of-door life.
where they can "holler" and even
yell" the voices are much better and
stronger than in the city. where
young person must suppress himself
and always speak In gentle tones.
Thin. throaty tones, of those with
nasal information are bad enough to the
sensitive ear when used in the key
of ordinary conversation. When 1t is
needed to expand such voices to the
declamatory point, then lack of volume
and mel1owness is evident.
Faithful practice may do much to
correct faults of emphasis and infec-
tion. but the most sanguine coach will
not undertake to make over poor
voice in coarse of three or even six
weeks rehearsals. The possibilities of
the speaking voice are beginning to be
understood. Parents are discovering
that 1t Is wise plan to cultivate in
their children an agreeable voice. In
structors in the art of developing the
exquisite mechanism and wonderful ca
pability of the human speaking voice
are springing up on every side. 1t can
not be long before it will be a positive
reproach for woman of education. at
least, to speak in shrill, nasal or un-
placed tones. The voice is a mirror of
the mind. A coarse. harsh, disagree
able voice can best be cured by i'm
proving the mind and heart.
