A NEEDLESS SACRIFICE.

Friends Of w. ]. Bryan in the good
state of Ohio determined at the close of
the regular state convention to die in
the last ditch. and attended to the
usual preliminaries of this reckless but
heroic act. They held a miniature con-
vention few days ago and took such
action as in their judgment the condi-
lions warranted and the sad plight of
their leader seemed to require. The
convention was short on attendance,
but made up for it's attenuated member
ship by resolutions that were away
ahead of the average. The document
penned by the disgruntled democrats
registered an energetic kick against
everything that had not been scared
with the Nebraskan's political branding
iron. and called upon the adherents of
Bryan to rally to the cause Of what they
termed political reform"
In the last issue of the Commoner
Mr. Bryan makes courteous acknowledge
ment of the gloomy proceedings which
were the result Of the Ohio democrats
affection for the former democratic idol
He joined with them in their pessimis;ic
views of life, and cordially approved OF
their sentiments respecting the political
situation. He readily admitted that

body polite as good strong dose of re-

enced hands that had drugged democ.
sacy into a hopeless decline. Then the
sage of Lincoln wound up his cheerful
comments upon the situation by advising
Ohio democrats to stick by the ticket al.

blow over and the old condition once
more hold sway. But several months
have passed and the officials Of the
state and Of the various counties have
come to no turning point in their course
against gambling, and still insist that
the law must be enforced.
A few days ago Attorney General
Donovan journeyed to his former home
in Great Falls and there found gambling
games in operation and the county at
torney away on a vacation. The state
officer promptly warned the countNs
representative that it was time for HIN
to return to his duties, and insisted that
among his first tasks should be the work
of closing all the gambling houses In
Great Falls and enforcing the law in ali
its harshness against gambling devices
of every kind.
While the attorney general was busy
instructing the county attorney Of Cas-
cade county respecting his duties, the
retail cigar dealers Of the city of Butte
were engaged in formulating a protest
against the law regulating nickel-in- the
slot machines that pay winners in
cigars. This organization declared that
the law against the operation Of slot
machines is imperfect and will not
stand test in the courts. 1t is the in
tention Of the organization to put the
law to the test before the supreme court
and determine whether or not a Gus
toner may tempt fortune with his
nickels in their places OF business with-
out running counter to the statutes of
the state.
So far the men who favor gambling
devices have not been able to defeat
the attorney general at any point, and
the attempt Of the retail cigar dealers
to prevent the laws operations as far
as their cigar machines is concerned
will be watched with interest. Taken
altogether, there is prospect Of an ex-
ceedingly busy season for the attorney
general.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST "A, 1901.
DRUGGISTS IN ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual gathering ce the men,
bers of the druggists organization in
the state of Montana was, as usual, an
occasion for a considerable amount of
hard work topped off with royal good
time. During the greater part of yes
terday the members gathered in Bite
attended to the duty Of increasing the
membership of the organization, elect
ing new officers and planning for the
future course to be pursued by the or
gained members of the trade. Then
as darkness fell, the thoughts of the
drug men turned to reve,ry and the So
cial side Of life was enjoyed to the
utmost while the last hours Of their
convention day passed. They proved
themselves to be royal good fellows
and in selecting Butte for meeting
place displayed rare judgment and the
ability to size up first rate conven-
ton town at its true worth.
The annual festivities of the drug
gists of the state partook in many re-
spects of the characteristics that are
noticeably prominent in the yearly
meetings of the other trades and pro-
LESSONS in Montana. Notwiths landing
the fact that the boundaries of the
state Of Montana are widely separ-
ated. the men enga sed in the same
calling at opposite ends Of the
great state are generally up,n terms Of
familiar acquaintance. Over the wide
area of the state the names of the
Butte's energetic business men are
known. The resident of Missoula has
an intimate knowledge Of the business
conditions in Forsythe ard the citizen
of Dillon discourses undrrstanding ely
upon the matters that are Of local con-
Germ to the people Of Great Falls.
Large as the state Of Montana ap-
pears when measured in miles, it is a
very convenient and sociable sort Of
place in which to live, 10 business,
form friendships and enjoy life. The
meeting of the druggists last evening
exemplified the friendly spirit that
prevails among men Of the same call
ing in this state and the men who met
around the banquet board returned to
their homes cheerful in the knowledge
that they were members of an organi-
cation that was fully abreast nf the
times and imhued with the confident
spirit that dominates the greatest state
in the northwest.
The retail druggists of Butte pro-
vided the visitors with night of jollity
on the occasion of the annual gather
ing and thereby earned lie gratitude
of the visitors and the esteem of the
residents of this city. The visitors tc
the annual meeting of the druggists ir
Butte were we'll taken cure Of anf
the officers and members of the Ioca
organization added sev,:ai credit
marks to their good record as enter
tainers.
The druggists of Montana, and es
pecially of Butte, display in marked
degree the characteristics of successful
business men, excellent c,tize rs ans
royal good fellows.

LORD KELVIN PLAYED DAMOCLES.

Lord Kelvin, SO his friends say, used to
make Of himself sort of Damocles, but 1t
was a cannon ball instead Of a sharp sword
which was suspended over his head.
Few living scientists have as high a
reputation as Lord Kelvin, and few have
to their credit more useful inventions of
valuable discoveries. Though now in his
18th year, the old professor, who for more
than half a century occupied the chair Of
natural philosophy at Glasgow university.
still maintains his reputation for being one
of the most energetic men in Scotland.
Those who know him are fond Of telling Of
the boytsh eagerness and almost incredible
energy with which he still attacks his
work. When lecturing, he used to become
so absorbed and wrapped up in the expert
ments he was conducting that he could
scarcely wait for the results. Disdatning
the service Of an assistant, he scurried
about his lecture-room like youth of 16
Indeed. the students liked to say that they
never saw him cross his laboratory except
at q run.
The ruling passion Of Lord Kelvin. who
is member Of half the learned societies Of
Europe, and who has been decorated by
the emperor Of Germany. the president Of
France and the king of Belgium, is his alb
solute faith in figures, and it Is this ruling
passion which led to his experiment as q
DamocleS. When he once solves prob
lem in mathematics he is willing to stake
upon its correctness not only his reputa-
ton. but. II necessary. his life.

he calculated. with the utmost accuracy.
the size Of the smallest wire which would
bear the weight of the load of iron. He
then procured a length of wire Of just the
requisite strength, and. to prove the truth
of his figuring. had the cannon ball sus-
pended over his lecturing platform at the
very spot where 1t would be most likely to
strike and crusn him should the wire give
way, and it remained there for weeks

THE ORIGINAL SOONER.

For Mike had heard
OF the peak Of Pike.
He'd been told exactly
What ''she" was like.
And the more Of Pixies he studied about
The more he wanted to stake her OUT
An that's the reason why Mike one day
Hitched up his schooner an started away
With an ak, a spade an some shootin'
tools,
An a couple Of good Missouri mules;
I amt quite certain that he did,
But think Mike carried wife an kid.
Anyhow I know there was tied behind
A followin' Mike both night and day,
A family dog of the yellow kind.
An since Mikes time you'll always find
yellow dog lied on behind
A prairie schooner on its way!
Mike certainly had a queer outfit,
An the natives almost took a At

For on the outside Mike had writ

As said. in the Lord Mike put his trust,

I trust an hope hope he went up right
An KEEP a goin' till out o. sight.
An also hope some Of hts kin
Reached out a hand an helped him in.
But maybe Mike didn't bust at ALL,
But reached the peak an saw 1t all,
For nerve like Mikes

But I've got trouble enough myself,

HOW he LOVED HER.

A negro man went into Mr.. Els office
for the purpose Of instituting a divorce
suit against his wife. Mr.. E. proceeded
to question him as to his grounds for COM

Noticing that the mans voice failed him.
Mr.. E. looked up from his papers and
saw that big tears were running down over
the cheeks of the applicant for divorce.
"Why," said the lawyer, you seem to
care a great deal for your wife? Did you
love herr"
Love her sir? jest analysed her!''
This was more than professional dignity
could withstand, and Mr.. E. laughed
until the negro. offended. carried his case
elsewhere.-Short Stories.

- catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from calarrh
IN is many forms knows that the
common louons, saives and doachss,
do not cure. 1t is needless to argue
this point or to cite cases of failure.
because every victim Of catarrhal
trouble knows it for himself If he has
tried them.
A local application, II it does any
thing at all simply gives temporary
relief; wash, lotion, salve or powder
can not reach the seat of the disease
which is the blood
The mucous membrane seeks to re-
lieve the blood of catarrhal poison by
secreting large quantities of mucous.
the discharge sometimes closing up
the nostrils descending TO the throat
and larynx. causing an Irritating
cough, continual clearing of the throat,
deafness. indigestion and many other
disagreeable and persistent symptoms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal treatment; a
remedy which will gradually cleanse
the SYSTEM from catarrhal poison and
remove the fever and congestion al
ways present in the mucous mem
brane
The best remedies for this purpose
are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hy-
drastin, but the difficulty has always
been to get these valuable curatives
combined in one palatable, convent
ent and efficient form.
Recently this has been accomplish
ed and the preparation put on the
market under the name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets; they are large pleas
ant tasting lozenges, so that they may
be slowly dissolved in the mouth, thus
reaching every part of the mucous
membrane and finally the stomach
and intestincs.
An advantage to be considered also
is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets con
tain no cocaine, morphine or poison
Gus narcotics, so often found in
catarrh powders, and the use Of which
often entails habit more dangerous
than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for full sized
package and are probably the safest
AID most effectual catarrh cure on
the market
