BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat Of an almost end
less variety Of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to tic
same cause, acid and other Poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations Of
arsenic and potash and the large number
Of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class OF diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,

much praise cannot be given the For

manner in which they performed their

to Issue Half-fare Permits.
After January l, next, clergymen in
all parts of the country, except a linn
tied territory east of Buffalo and
Pittsburg, will be able to obtain half
fare permits east of the Mississippi
river, as well as west of that dividing
line. Heretofore roads east of Chi
cago and the Mississippi, members
of the Central Passenger association,
have refused to issue half-fare clergy
permits to those residing outside the
bounds of that organization. Those
who were barred from the concession
by reason of their residence were
given trip permits good only for one
journey. These permits are to be
abolished, but in their place annual
credentials will be issued to any min
lister or other person coming within
the rules governing the issuance of
transportation. twenty-five cents is
the charge for one of these trip per-
mits, but under the new rule annual
permits will be issued upon the pay
ment of 81. The fee charged will be
to maintain a bureau made neces-
sary at Chicago for the issuing of per-
mits.

The masquerade of the Macabees at.
Gruwell hall last night was a decided
success in every particular. Not only
was the attendance large, but the
amount of pleasure derived by those
who were present was fully as great.
The number and variety of costumes
contributed to the fun of the occasion
to no small degree and much original
ity was displayed by the maskers,
who seemed to vie with each other
in q%uaintness of designs and effective
ness of character portrayal. Many
of the costumes were rich and denoted
rare taste in those wearing them, while
the majority, as is always the case on
occasions of that kind, ran to the
comic and %grotesque. A pleasing fea-
ture of the ball was the excellent
music furnished by Professor Carter
and his orchestra.

TEST CASE.
Suit Involving Right to Tax Telephone
Companies.

Companies.
The liability of telephone companies
for an annual license tax of IS cents
on every phone in S in the state of
Montana is involved in a test case
that was heard before Judge Clements
yesterday without a jury. The case
is that Of the state of Montana and
County Treasurer Steele of Lewis
and Clarke against the Rocky Noun
tain Telephone company and the suit
is to recover $749.25 for three years
license claimed to be due in this
county, with SIS additional penalty.
This case grew out of the ruling of
Attorney General Donovan, which was
precisely the opposite of that of his
predecessor, says the Helena indie
pendent. Payment of the license tax
is resisted by the telephone companies
on the ground that their business is
Interstate and therefore the instru-
ments which + used in interstate
business cannot be thus taxed.
In the hearing yesterday the plain
tiff was represented by Assistant At
torney General Moore and the de-
PENDANT by McIntire & McIntire. SUI
p%erintendent H. Sommers, of the Mon
tana portion of the company, was plac-
ed on the stand and gave testimony
as to the company's charges for
phones. The maximum charge in
Helena, he said, was $40, and the
minimum 81. When examined by At
torney S. H. McIntire for the defense
Mr.. Sommers said that all the instru-
ments could be used for long distnce
business Is well as for the local bus
mess. When asked if it were not nee
essary to haye the long distance bust
ness in order to make the property
profitable, the superintendent said
that there would be no profit without
the toll business. Several years ago,
he said, in Bozeman, Dillon and other
places where there was no outside
traffic the business was so unproit-
able that the exchanges were forced
to discontinue until long distance
connections were made. He related
the fact that the company had con-
nection with the Western Union and
the Postal by which messages receiv-
ed from other states by telegraph
were often phoned to patrons. In this
statement he was corroborated by
Manager Swan, of the Western Union,
and Mr.. Hawk, of the Postal.
The case was then argued at length,
and was taken under advisement by
Judge Clements.

\ Village Blacksmith Saved His
Little Sons Life.

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan Co., N. Y, says: "Our little
son, five years old, has always been
subject to Group, and so bad have the
attacks been that we have feared
many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many
medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now u sole reliance.
It SENS to dissolve the tough mucus
and by giving frequent doses when
the croupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded Group is
cured before it gets settled" There
is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains no opium or injurious
drug and may be given as confident

NONE WAS THERE.
Creditors Fail to Appear
and Explain.

Protested Creditors Fail to Appear
and Explain.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
A meeting and hearing was held yes
terday in the office of Referee Firth
in the matter of the estate of G.. w.
Taft, bankrupt. The purpose of the
meeting was to give the eight credi-
tors to whose claims objection has
been made on the ground that they
have been given preferences, in that
they were paid money on account
within four months prior to the filing
of the petitioners prayer to be declar-
ed insolvent, an opportunity to be
heard. None of the protested cred
itors appeared, although n on the
day preceding made refund to Mr..
Firth by s%urrendering the amount of
his preference.
Under the law the creditors whose
claims have been protested have Is
days within which to surrender their
preferences and unless they do so in
thai time will be debarred from par
ticipation in any dividend that may
be declared. Mr.. Firth is of the opin-
ion that before the expiration of the
limit most if not all will make refund
OF the money they have received.
In the matter of acceptances of the
bankrupt's offer to make a compost
ton nine of the creditors have signi-
fed their willingness to take the
amount he offers, 33 1-3 cents on the
dollar, but as it requires a majority
of all creditors to make the offer
binding it is necessary that IL more
shall assent, the total number of
claimants being 40. In view of the
present outlook it is believed that
enough will accept to enable settle
ment to be made on the basis propo
ed. Should the supposition prove to
be correct the entire matter can be
disposed of. within a week after the
matter shall have been presented to
the court for it's sanction and order of
settlement.
