NO NEED OF A STOMACH,
Carl Kruger, Who Had His Removed,
Dimes With His Family.

"Pass the mashed potatoes, please"
said Carl Kruger today at his little cot
tage home, $40 Winnemac avenue.
Take another cup of coffee, too" said
his wife, as she handed the potato dish
across the table.
Carl Kruger is the only man in Chi
cago without a stomach, and he went
home today from the Illinois Medical
college, where he had his stomach cut
out three weeks and four days ago by
DR.. B. B. Eads. A deadly cancer had
fastened itself upon the organ, involving
every portion of it.
Like a man risen from the tomb, Krue-
ger entered the doorway of his little cot
tage home tOday-every vestige of the
horrible pain gone, able to walk, and on
the road to absolute recovery. Neither
he nor his wire. nor his four children,
ever expected that he would pass the
portal alive again.
But Kruger left his stomach at the
college, where it is carefully preserved in
alcohol as testimony to one of the most
remarkable surgical operations ever sue
cessfully performed in Chicago or in the
world.

Enterprising Malta.

In spite of the direful predictions OF
some of our neighbors Malta has proven
herself, as usual quite as enterprising
as our sister towns. Colonel Richardson
secured enough names in ten days after
arriving here to establish a library.
Some of the people Of other towns adj
vised him not to come here, but the
colonel, it seems, was more sanguine OF
success. and consequently came here and
found the people quite as willing and
able to appreciate modern institutions
as the people Of any town in this vicsn-
ity. Probably our neighboring brothers
judge the town by the Great Northern
maps, which have not been revised fos
about eight or ten years.-Malta Eenter.

Want a New Agent.

Five F'lathead Indians have gone to
Washington to endeavor to have the
"Great Father" reduce Major Smead to

The Indians have grievance against
Major Smead because he enforced a
strict quarantine. and they claim, too,
that it was unwarrantable. Among
other grievances. they claim that the
major had an axe to grind in the mat

reservation, but giving them no option

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
A Hint to scorchers.

In spite of repeated warnings, protests
and a special ordinance regulating the
rate of speed which a bicyclist shall
propel his wheel on the sidewalk and
the busy streets of the city, the scorcker
Is still strictly in evidence. In these
days of hig-geared wheels it is prOba bly,
difficult for the bicycle rider to regulate
his speed. but it is more difficult for the
unfortunate pedestrian to get out of
the way and avoid an accident. While
1t may not be Intentional, there are sew
eral young men and women who seen.
to think they have mortgage on the
city sidewalk, and prefer them to the
middle of the street, no matter how ma -
row the walk may be or how smooth the
street. The bicyclist. for instance, starts
from the postoffice and makes bee line
for the court house. AS far as Tracy
avenue he stays in the street and then
turns on the sidewalk and keeps right
on. sometimes ringing bell as he nears
corner and sometimes not. Everybody
has to make way for him. and all
breathe little freer when he has gone
by. The bicycle ordinance. we believe,
orders all bicyclists to use lamp after
sundoWn. but these lamps seem to be
lost. or else the ordinance has become a
dead letter. While we maintain that a
bicycle has as much right on the streets
as any other means Of conveyance We.
the city of Bozeman has granted bicy-
clists more privileges than are allow Il
them in most cities in the state, and il
they do not want these privileges cur
tailed they had better observe the ordi-
nance with reference to speed. bells ana
lamps. and use a little more discretion
and courtesy toward their fellow-citi-
zens. During the past week or two there
have been several narrow escapes from
accident. and IL the rising generation
does not govern its ambition for fast
riding. some stringent measures will
probably be adopted.-Gallatin County

The New Game Warden.

The expected has happened. A Butte
man. H. Aware. has been appointed
deputy game and fish warden for this
district, which includes Silver Bow. Mad
ison, Jefferson and Beaverhead counties.
Mr.. Aware is a pleasant young gentle
man and was a deputy sheriff of Silver
Bow county during the incumbency OF
Sheriff Reagan. He is alive and pro-
gre:sive and will perform his duties to
the best of his ability. He will not find
much game or fish to inspect in Silver
Bow county. This county and Madison,
which afford some of the best hunting;
and fishing in the state, should claim a
good part of his attention, and this paper
trusts he will do SO. He might stay in
Butte and detect hotel keeper selling a
duck which had been killed in another
state. out of season, and secure cor
viction, but it is not likely that Mr..
Aware will not follow the example of his
chief.-Dillon Examiner.

The Transformation Of Texas Girl

She was Texas maiden, she came of
low degree,
Her clothes We're worn and faded, her
feet from shoes We're free:
Her face was tanned and freckied, her
hair was sunburned. too.
Her whole Garned tout ensemble was
painful for to view
She drove a lop-eared mule team at
tached unto a pillow,
The trickling perspiration exuding from
her brow,
And often she lamented her cruel, cruel
fate
As but poo whites daughter down in
the Lone Star state.
No courtiers came to WOO her, she never
had a beau-
Her misfit face precluded such things as
that YOU know
She was nobody's darling, no fellow
solid girl.
And poets never called her an uncut
Texas pearl.
Her only two companions were those
old fiea-bit mules,
And these she but regarded as animated
tools
To plod along the burrows in patience up
anu NOWu,
And pull the ancient wagon when pap
d go to town.
No fires of wild ambition were surging
in her soul,
Her eyes with tender passion she'd never
upward roll.
The Wondrous world she'd heard of to
her was but a dream
AS walked she in the furrow behind that
lop-eare6 team
Born on that small plantation, twas
there she thought she'd die.
She never longed for pinions that she
might Mise, and fly
To other lands far distant where breezes
fresh and cool
Would never shake and trcmble from
brayings of a mule.
But yesterday we saw her dressed up in
gorgeous style!
A half-a dozen fellows were basking in
her smile!
She'd jewels on her fingers and jewels in
her ears
Great sparkling, flashing brilliants, that
hung as frozen tears.
The feet once nude and soil stained were
clad in Frenchy boots,
The once tanned face bore tintings OF
miscellaneous fruits,
The voice that once a6mOnished the
mules to move along
Was tuned to newborn music as sweet
as sirens song!
Her tail and lanky father, once known
as Sleepy Jim,'
Is now addressed as Colonel by mer
who honor him,
And youths in finest raiment now take
him by the paw,
Each in the hope that some day he'll
call him dad-in-law.
Their days of toll are over, their sun has
ris'n at last,
A gold embroidered curtain now hide:
their rocky past;
For was it not discovered their little
patch Of soil
! Had rested there for ages, above flow
of Oil.

FUNERAL OF J. e. cR,ccs.
Man Who Killed Himself Buried d
 Oak Hill Cemetery.

The funeral of the late John c. Griggs, who committed suicide Tuesday with a pistol at Graves Mines, took place yes- terday afternoon at o'clock. A large number of friends followed the remains to their last resting place in Oak Hill ceme- tery The last rites were held at the residence of the deceased at Graves Mines, followed by services at the ceme- tery.
 After death note was found pinned to the shirt of MT. Griggs requesting that the news be broken to his loving wife as gently as possible. He requested further that the Masons assume charge of the funeral. Another note of farewell to his family was pinned on his coat. Tuesday was the anniversary of the death of his father Dr. Griggs, to whom he was de- voted, and 1t is supposed that this. with other things, had caused him such mental worry that in spell of temporary in- sanity he took his own life.
