An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the

IS the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently- Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used. as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the

LANDLORD DRISCOLL EASY.
Woman from New York Jumps Her
Board Bill.

Board Bill.
Landlord Driscoll of the Driscoll
hotel has begun to think that he is
surely a victim to dead beats. He is
about one of the easiest going and ac-
commodating mortals that ever
breathed Montana air, and by reason
of this is made the target for all beats.
It is a common occurrence for him to
be buncoed out of a board bill and he
fell a victim again yesterday.
Last Sunday there arrived from the
west a woman who registered at the
hotel as Mrs. j. A. Cameron, Hornes-
vile, N. Y. She claimed to be a
nurse and said her baggage had been
delayed in the change of cars at Logan
and she was waiting here for its ar
rival.
Yesterday morning, unknown to
Mr.. Driscoll, the woman left the hotel
without settling her bill, and boarded
the eastbound train. The porter no.
ticed her departure and notified Mr..
Driscoll, who t~elegraphed the CON
ductor of the train. A few hours
later he received an answer from the
station agent a Huntley saying that
the woman was there and was penni-
less, the conductor evidently having
put her off the train at that the first
stopping place.
Mr.. Driscoll will not have her
brought back here, as it would mean
an expense to the county.

has fallen through. No one seems to
be seriously disappointed from the fact
that no great amount OF confidence
was ever placed in the scheme from
the beginning, but it will probably be
many a long day before another pro-
moter can go up to Cooke City and
pick up deeds and options for half in
terests in the best developed mining
claims in that district. The natural
road to Cooke City is from Livingston,
through the national park, but no one
now ever expects to live long enough
to see the road an accomplished fact.
There was a time when W. W. Dixon
was congressman from Montana, when
it could have been accomplished had
the right energy been displayed, but
the hopes of this city are now centered
on the Burlington, or, if that fails, a
narrow gauge from Gardiner through
to Cooke by the way Of jardine and
the Boulder mining district.

ANOTHER TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Chicago Independent Construction Com
pany Wants Franchise. =

There is evidently a demand for tel
ephone franchises III Billings, as will
be seen by the following explanatory
letter received yesterday by City Clerk
j. B. HEREFORD, and also in view of the
fact that the Rocky Mountain Bell
company is after me-:
"Chicago, Feb. 10, 1901 - City
Clerk, Billings, Mont: Dear Sir:
Will you kindly express an opinion as
to the prospects of installing an indie
pendent telephone system in your city ?
The imperative need Of the telephone
today, and for some time past, has
necessitated subscribers paying exorbi-
tant rates because Of the Bell COM
pany's monopoly. Since the expiration
of their patents much better and more
modern equipments have been per-
fected. Independent systems are hav-
ing the call today because, first, of the
decided improvement in the character
of the apparatus; second, because of
the greatly reduced rates and third, of
the perfect service made possible by
these improvements. The object Of
this company is to establish an indie
pendent telephone system in your
town. We will so minimize the
rates that they will be available to
business houses and residences alike,
without proving too expensive. Our
equipment would include the most
modern apparatus, installing Of such a
system in your town, upon our owner
sponsibility and at our own expense,
providing we can work in cooperation
with the proper authorities towards
securing the franchise and other minor
details. Is the subject of granting
a franchise decided by popular vote,
at special or regular primary or other
elections, or could this be granted by
and secured from your board of alder
men? Will you oblige us with the
schedule of rates now charged by the
Bell company for business and resi-
dence phones? Would you personally
consider the application for an indie
pendent franchise to meet with the
general approval of the people? II not
in a position to take this matter up
with us personally will you oblige us
by referring it to your president of
council, or to such other party as you
feel assured would and could put us in
receipt of the desired information. If
the matter is considered with favor
we will send a representative to look
the ground over and make the neces-
sary preliminary arrangements tending
to the installation of such a system.
Thanking you in advance for f~avoring
us with advices at your early pleasure
and convenience we remain,
Every truly yours,

Construction Co.

MORE BURLINGTON RUMORS.
Busy Making New Extensions and
Connections. ~

The rumors concerning the Burling-
ton have been SO numerous of late that
it would tnke a book to record them.
One is from the Los Angeles Herald as
follows:
"The San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake railroad will join hands
with the Burlington road at Salt Lake.
The Burlington will begin an exten
sion to Salt Lake City, for the purpose
of meeting the western road as soon as
spring weather permits grading. The
road now has three terminals west Of
Denver, one in Colorado and two in
Wyoming. Lyons, 48 miles northwest
of Denver, is the terminal nearest Salt
Lake, but after spending nearly
ST., 900, 900 in surveys Of the country,
the managers of that road decided that
the best entrance to Salt Lake is from
Guernsey, Wyo., by way Of Ogden.
1.-The published rumor that the Har.
riman syndicate is making overtures
for the purchase of Senator Cark's pro-
posed Los Angeles & Salt Lake road,
is emphatically denied by T. E. Glib
bon, vice president of the new line"
Among the very latest is the follow
ing from the Pioneer Press of St.
Paul: "
"Thare are Indications that J. j..
Hill and interests associated with him
are seeking for control of the Burling-
ton indirectly. Influence has been
brought to bear On the Burlington
strong enough to suspend work on the
western end of the line, though per-
haps not yet strong enough to effect a
consolidation with the Great Northern
or Northern Pacific OF both.
Now, it appears that J. j. Hill has
started surveyors at, work from the
Nebraska end of the Great Northern
in the direction Of Denver and touch
ing the Burlington's territory" The
fact that G. E. Perkins, president of
the Burlington, has resigned may
make a decided change in the attitude
of that road.

EPISCOPAL LENrEN SERVICES.
Large Congregation Listens to Bishop
Brewers Sermon.

There is increased interest in the
Lenten services which are being held
this week IN St. Luke's church by
Bishop Brewer. A large congregation
assembled last evening when the
bishop took as his text the words from
Mark TX, "a: "Lord l believe; help
thou mine unbelief."
After a discussion of the subject of
miracles, the bishop spoke of the de.
gree of faith necessary to be held by
those who desired to come into the
church. The belief in the Apostles
creed, he said, was all that was re-
quired of the laity, that creed which
is the faith of Christendom, and which
has been held by the church at least
since the second century. The church
is broad enough, he continued, to hold
men of widely differing views, and it's
doors were eve open to receive all
who desire to come.
A meeting of the guild was held
after the service, when the bishop
asked the ladies to 60 to work to raise
funds to build a rectory. The ladies
agreed to work for that object and
manifested considerable enthusiasm.

NO COOK CITY RAILROAD.
The Scheme of F. A. Hall Falls to the
N.. Bottom, "u.E.'-

For a long time the miners and pros
pectors in the New World mining dis
trict have hoped against hope almost
and have stuck to their holdings in
quartz and placer ground at Cooke
City believing that at no distant day a
railroad would build into their camp
and make it possible for them to mar
ket their ores, of which they have an
abundance, says the Livingston cor
respondent in the Helena Record. Liv-
ingston is the natural supply point for
this great undeveloped mineral field
at Cooke City. This being so, the
people of this city are equally as anx-
ious as are the miners of the New
World district to see the transportation
problem, solved, and if it were solved
right it would mean the Immediate
doubling of this city's population.
Last fall a man named Frank A.
Hall opened headquarters in Living
ston and it was announced that he as
behind a scheme to build q railway to
Cooke City, which vas locally known
as the Bridger-C Cooke City railway,
1t was also announced that he had as

Mr.. Hail made Cooke City a visit
late in the fall, where he secured op-
lions and deeds to half interests on
many of the most promising mining
properties of the district, with the
understanding that if he succeeded in
getting a railroad 20 Cooke within a
certain time. the men to whom he had
obtained options were also to give him

ALL A MISTAKE
Corruption Fund Was Not Raised
to Kill Pure Food
Bill.
Special to The Daily Gazette.

OpeClul W Ie bdllS udZelGc. .. .. . ..
Helena, Feb. l9-The house today
received the report of the committee
appointed to investigate the charges
of bribery in an effort to defeat the
pure food and milk bill. The COM
mittee reported that the charges were
groundless, the parties who raised the
money having done so for the purpose
of hiring attorneys to appear before
the committee in opposition to the
bill.
The committees conclusions were,
"That the affidavit of Harry G. Bur-
giss a based upon hearsay state
ments made by Oscar L. Scheewe and
others in defeat of the bill; that
Scheewe, Mares and others had talked
of the advisability of contributing to
a fund to employ a lawyer to represent
them before the committee and before
the legislature, with a view to defeat
ing the bill; that there was no evil
dence to show that any money was
contributed for the purpose Of cor
rupting the committee or any member
Of the house and that there was no
intention on the part of anyone to cor
rupt or bride the committee or any
member Of the house; that MI. Hedges
having had a conversation with Mr..
Burgess about the matters set forth in
the affidavit, solicited Burgess to make
said affidavit, and that Hedges secured
said affidavit in good faith"
The senate by a vote of Is to 9
passed the bill making gambling a
misdemeanor. 1t also passed bills
creating a state board of osteopathy,
and turning the $50, 600 doodle"
money into the general fund.
The house adopted resolutions re-
