Gentlemen: I have heard so many
of the large stock-growers who are
using your brand Of strychnine or wolf
poison speak of it SO highly, and after
careful inquiry satisfying myself that
it is the only poison on the market
worthy of recommendation, | wish to
ask you if you will not thoroughly
advertise it that all will use the same
and soon do away with this greatest
of all pests to stockgrowers.
You should have a big sale for it l
am fully convinced, and l am positive
if you will make it's superior quality
known all will use it. l have heard
enough to satisfy me that it is worthy
of endorsement by all who are inter
ested in the welfare of the stock
grower. Your respectively

sides of North Twenty-eighth street
from Fourth avenue north to the city
limits between Seventh and Eighth
avenues north was received and re-
ferred.
A bill for an ordinance amending
the existing Cow" ordinance was
read. The bill repeats section one of
the old ordinance and permits the
driving of cattle through the streets
as formerly.
The ordinance was passed under a
suspension of the, rules and goes into
immediate effect.
In response to a request from Con-
nelly the ordinance committee re-
ported as being in favor of an or
dinance providing for a town herd and
the imposition o., license to he paid
by the herder; and Furthermore that
a bond be required from that func-
tionary. On motion Of Connolly the
committee was instructed to draft an
ga iilGASC& III dCCOIudlCG 4WlIus lUO
committees recommendation.
Connolly moved that the. city at
torney prepare a bill for an ordinance
providing that the bonds voted at the
recent election be issued in denomi-
nations Of 81, 900 each, bearing the
lowest possible interest and that one
bond be redeemable each year after
the expiration of 10 years from the
date of issue. This led to a general
discussion of the bond question.
Fred H. Foster being present, his
opinion was asked as that of one
familiar with bond sales. He recon-
mended that the wording of the or
dlnance be such as to give the city the
privilege of redeeming the bonds any
time after 10 years, with a tenure Of
20. The recommendation was adopt
ed.
White. moved that the clerk be in
structed to prepare a statement show
ing the city's financial condition, to-
gether with such other information
as might be required by intending
bidders on the bonds, and incorporate
the same in a circular letter for dis
tribution among prospective buyers.
Having anticipated some such action
Mr.. Matheson read the copy of a state
ment Of that kind which he had pre-
pared. The motion prevailed.
It was decided to date the bonds
January 1, 1902, and the date of their
sale was fixed at October Is, 1901.
1t was also decided to advertise the
issue in The Billings Daily Gazette
and New York Weekly Financial
News.

a most practical method of Kidding my

Dear Sirs: After using forty ounces
OF your strychnine or wolf poison this
fall and winter, we take great pleasure
in saying that it is the best poison we
have ever seen or used. We get more
wolves and coyotes with an ounce
bottle of it than we generally get with
a dozen of the common grades.
When all stockmen realize that this
poison is all that is claimed for it,
and use it as we will continue to do,
we will then have less wolves to con-
tend with. We hope you will advertise
this poison and push the sale of it as
the wolf question is a problem which
we all have to deal with alike.

WHY SURPRISED?

The promotion of Col. J. K. Smith
to the rank Of Rrigadier General is
mentioned as surprise to army cir
cles." We can see no reason for any
surprise on that score. One but has
to glance at his army record to know
why he was promoted. Here is the
record:
Colonel Smith was twice court
martialed. The first time was in 1855
when he was sentenced to con6ne-
ment to the limits of his post and
forfeiture of one-half of his pay for
one year. The sentence of the second
court-martial was dismissal, which
the President RENTED.
Another incident in Smiths mill
tary career was his appointment as
Major and Judge-Advocate when he
was Captain. The Senate refused
to confirm the nomination and the
appointment was revoked.
Here certainly is record which
would entitle any man to promotion
under the present Administration
What more can you want? He has
proved his worthlessness and inca
pacity beyond question. He has Ger
tainly done enough to warrant an ad
vance. The only cause tor surprise
is that Funston was advanced. He
had been CONSPICUOUS for brains, brav
cry and doing something to end the
miserable war in the Philippines
Why he should have been promoted
for work of that kind is more tina,
anybody can find out.

MORE ARMY SCANDLES.

It has Just come to light that Oncle
Sam is getting badly done up in the
Philippines by the officers who are
robbing the government to the tune
of hundreds of thousands a month.
Here is a sample of the way it is
done.
A dispatch from Manila says:
It would take considerable space to
show the unbusinesslike methods
which were tolerated here. but one of
them will be mentioned. A large
amount of the government freighting
in Manila was done by means of two
wheeled carts, drawn by water buffa-
Ices. These carts have no sideboards.
When a private individual employs
one the cart is loaded with 1000 or
1880 pounds. When the Govern
ment has any hauling to do each cart
will contain a load weighing from
so to $50 pounds. 1t was frequent
sight in Manila to see a train of if
teen or twenty carts. each containing
about double armful of stove wood.
These carts are rented under contract,
after bids have been called for. As
all the carts belong to one or two
firms the Government pays an exor.
bitant rate, and the more carts that
are pressed into service the greater
will be the pre6t of the owners. The
Government pays enough rentals
every month for bull carts to buy ali
the carts aod buffaloes in the archi
pelage.
All this shows that they have fin
ished plundering the natives ant
have to turn on their own govern.
ment for spoils. Well, a majority Q
the tax payers have voted to have i
that way and this is government
where the majority rules.
