Great Falls, Mont, June lis. w. d.
Kerns, Jig tender at the concentration Of
the. Boston 4 Montana smelter, was the
victim of frightful accident while at
work. He was inspecting one of the ma
chimes in his charge when the belt from
one of the pulleys on the main shaft to
the machine beneath slipped off the ma
chine and struck him. It continued to re-
volve at speed Of 400 revolutions min
ute, and when it struck Kerns it caught
him by the right arm, twisting the mem.
Der so suddenly and with such terrific force
that it drew the unfortunate man from the
floor almost to the ceiling, where it hurled
him against large pipe.
The sudden twisting of the arm tore it
from the body of the man and the force
with which he struck the pipe broke his
leg in several places below the knee. The
first intimation any of Kerns fellow
workmen had OF an accident was when
the dismembered arm fell from the body
and struck one Of the men on the head. 1t
was but an instant after the belt struck
Kerns that he fell senseless and bleeding
to the floor. Kerns is % years of age and
single. He will probably die

New York Banks.

New York, June lO.-The Financier
says:
One of the surprising features Of the New
York bank statement Of June is the ex-
tension Of $2l ,2S4,4OO in the loan item.
The effect Of this increase was shown in
corresponding rise in deposits, and as this
in turn necessitated very much larger re-
serve the excess surplus suffered decline
of about $S,OOO,OOO, the loss of nearly
'$3,OOO,00 in cash holdings having been an
appreciable factor in this respect. The
present excess stands at $l3,34l 500, as
against S2l ,253, 050 for the preceding week.
The decline is equivalent therefore, to 81
per cent, which, for one weeks operations,
is unusually large. The increase in the
loan item can be attributed in part to
Union Pacific convertible bonds, operations
which called for heavy accommodations
during the week, and the fact that one
bank which had great deal to do with
the transaction reported an increase in
loans Of about $4,000 900 strengthens this
theory. In addition, however, it is known
that commission houses have been borrow
ing heavily, especially ON long time, and
this also assisted in swelling the volume OF
outstanding loans.

Great Falls, Mont, June lO.-The ru-
NOR Of last January to the effect that the
Great Northern was negotiating for the
purchase of the Great Falls & Canada rail
way has developed into fact. The news
reported from authoritative sources says
the road has passed into the possession Of
the Great Northern, and that the price
paid was $75O,OOO. A circular has been is
sued to the stockholders calling meeting
for the ratification of the deal.
The Great Falls & Canada railway ex-
tends from Great Falls to Shelby Junction,
and at the latter point is joined by the
Alberta Railway L Coal company's road,
which is really continuation Of the
former in the Canadian territory with a
terminus at Lethbridge.
The Great Falls 4 Canada is 1874 miles
in length. The road is at present narrow
gauge, but it will be broadened to stand
ard gauge during the present summer and
utilized as short cut by the Montana
Central between this city and the main
line of the Great Northern at Shelby juno
ton. The possession of the road will also
shut out any competition that might de-
velop from the north.

London Nonplused.

New York, june IA dispatch from
London says:
The war Office authorities say they have
received no news of meeting between
General Kitchener and General Botha near
Standerton last Wednesday, and the re-
port of a tentative settlement between the
British and the Boer commanders is con.
sequently discredited in official quarters.
Mrs. Botha's arrival in London has, never
theless. revived peace rumors, to which
publicity has been given on several occa-
sions recently. 1t is impossible to say
what exactly is going on, but the general
opinion is that there must be some foun-
dation for the rumors. Mrs. Botha's visit
Is still shrouded in secrecy, and although
it is freely stated that she is on a peace
mission no definite information can be Oh
tanned.

70 END BRHISH.DOER WAR
STATEMENT By Won BuE1ow.
Court At The Haxae IL
said to Have Taken UP the Natter
With Consent of Emperor William
AT the Request Of iBoer Leaders.

! Berlin, June 1.-THE Kelins, Journal
prints dispatch from The Hague saying
that Queen Wilhelmina's recent visit here
was meant to obtain Emperor Williams
assistance to end the South African war,
both the zweibund and the dreibund be.
ing willing to do so through The Hague
arbitration court, and thatt he emperor
consented and the court began work there
on. The dispatch has created sensation
here.
THE Associated Press has just obtained
the following statement from the foreign
office, which Is authorized by Count Won
Buelow, the imperial chancellor:
Neither Great Britain, France nor Rus
STA approached Germany to participate in
any action Ginning at ending the South
African war. Germany has all along dis
tinguished between offering her good OFF,
ces and intervention. To render. her good
offices would be posjbls, if hath sparties
to the war requested 1T, but 1t will be re-
membered that Great Britain only joined
The Hague conference on condition that
the Boer states were excluded. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Kruger, who is . Sc
rious statesman, came to Europe to obtain
the good offices Of several Of the powers
to end the war, but there is also no doubt
that Great Britain does not want their
good Offices
"At least it is true that. since the
South African wal, began, Great Britain
has never, either verbally or in writing,
comfortably or officially, preached such
an idea. It is quite possible that the Boer
side has now formally asked The: Hague
arbitration court to lend its aid to end
the war somehow, and that the court has
held session regarding the matter, but
that, of course, is entirely different from
any serious steps to end the war;"
Mrs. BOtha to Meet Kruger.
London, June 1.-THE Sun hears that
Mrs. Botha starts Wednesday for The
Hague, where Mr.. Kruger has been sum-
moned to attend a conference of the Boer
agents in Europe and the United States
to consider the report Mrs. Botha has
brought from her husband in which he ad-
vises Mr.. Kruger, as the constitutional
head of the Tmnsvaal, to sue for peace
and the best terms obtainable.

hona prevailed in Kay county recently.
A tornado struck Billings, Eddy and Ton.
kawa, and its zone covered a stretch OF
country 10 miles wide and SO miles long.
Half dozen people are reported killed and
a score injured. Nearly every farmhouse in
northwestern Kay county is more or less
damaged, not a windmill has been left
standing and the whole country is covered
with debris Practically every piece OF
glass in Blackwell was broken. 1t is be-
lieved the damage to crops will reach $780,
600. The tornado was the worst at Eddy,
where three persons were killed and several
seriously injured. The list is as follows:
The dead: Mrs. Maud McGathey, Louis
Mccartney, Bob McGriffin.
The injured: Charles Goldsmith. skull
fractured; John McBrain, leg broken;
H. Prather, nose broken; Jud McWilliams,
head crushed; Howard flanagan, head
badly crushed; Ruby Higginbothen. face
crushed and internal injuries; A. D.
Evans, leg broken.
Three Separate Twisters.
The cyclone came from the southwest
and struck Eddy at $3.50. 1t is also re-
ported that two were killed at Billings.
Very little can be heard from the country
places. It is evident that it was not the
same tornado that struck all the places.
1T is probable that three separate twisters
prevailed at practically the same time. At
Eddy only two houses remain standing.
It was small town. The prevalence Of
cyclone cellars undoubtedly saved many
lives. The office of one tornado insurance
company out Of 43 doing business in Okla
homa received II kilograms tonight an
nouncing total losses. They claim that
their losses will not fall far short of IS

afternoon and lasted two hours, causing
more damage than anything that has ever
transpired in that community. Wires were
blown down and communication only es-
tablished this afternoon. Two big church
buildings are damaged and IL houses were
torn down and blown away and 80 resi-
dences badly wrecked. The streets were
swept by the rain that followed the wind
and hail. One person was injured-Mrs

stone as the storm swept the house from its
foundation.
The Salt Fork river is full of rubbish of

Any article, whatever it's merit,
must be made known to the public bv
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for a

create a sale for time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth
This is the case with Lydia e. Pink

solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for

The reason for this is that Mrs.

not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
