DEATH CAUSED BY BURNING
Injuries Received at the Fire en- East
Park Street Result Fatally to
Miss Larson,


Coroner johnson will hold an inquest
over the remains of Enga Larson at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Miss Larson is the victim of a fire in
lodging house on East Park street
which caused so much misery some
weeks ago. The women endeavored to
escape from the burning building but
was forced back by the smoke Before
the firemen could get Miss Larson to
the ground she had been frightfully
burned and for fully an hour an un-
successful effort was made to place the
woman in hospital for treatment. She
was finally taken in by Murray &
Frunds.
The unfortunate victim lowered be-
tween life and death for sometime. The
attending physicians concluded at first
that she could not live, but her
strength gave them hope and some en-
enlargement was given out until Satur-
cay when she grew worse and gradually
sank to the death which relieved her
suffering.
DIR. Murray, one of the attending ply
sicians states that but for Miss Larson's
unusual display of nerve and endurance
she would have succumbed to the fright
full injuries before this time. He said
many others in the same condition
would have given up hope and desire to
live and prayed for death as a relief

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sal eof any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
rlothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
iness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis. Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
eanic action of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses Of Green's Au-
gust Flower. in liquid form. to make

In relation to the above dispatch a
representative Of the Inter Mountain
this morning on Senator Clark who was
Just leaving his office for an inspection
of his mining and smelling property
prior to his departure for California and
the east.
i Il can give you no definite information
on the subject of the Dispatch said
Mr. Clark There is a basis of truth in
it. Before leaving Paris l received a
call from M. Brotsky, wealthy Rus
sian who lives at Kieff on the trans-Si-
berian road, who desired to submit a
proposition concerning his copper mines.
NJ Brotsky owns in Siberia, south of the
great railroad, landed concession COW
ering territory equal in area to one
third of France and rich in timber, COAL
copper and other natural resources. His
proposition was more than liberal and
his financial and political standing so
high that I agreed to make an investl-
cation and let him know my conclusions.
Soon thereafter / despatched a trusted
mining engineer to examine the mines
and shall advise Mr.. Brotsky of his re-
port.
l am so busy a man just now that
can not personally examine the Russian
mines. A part of my time belongs to the
people of Montana now and / must dis
charge my obligations to them before
giving much attention to foreign enter
prises. Still copper mines wherever they
abound are subjects of interest TO all
copper producers, SO the Inter Mountain
may say there is some truth in the as
ISOLATED press despatch-how much do
not yet know"

"HE RETURNS OF THE VARI-

it's true market value. There is no
rule to return property at sc % per

above their Indebtedness or any other
character of property that does not ap-
pear on their sworn return, it Is the
duty of the Board to enter such prop
erty or report the case to the Auditor
for investigation.
The Township Boards are hereby
requested to mark at the head of each
return, the school district in which
each tax payers property is located
and where the new survey divides
tax payers land to write on the return,
approximately the amount in each
school district.
In every instance where there is an
increase Of 500 or over in an individ.

fy such taxpayer, in the name of the
Auditor, of such increase, so that the

We have pinched our prices to sell all.

combine together, in joint stock as
sociatlOns, and erect cotton mills of
sufficient capacity to spin up 'heir
crops. No doubt, if this suggestion
were acted upon at once, and all our
cotton made into yarn, and thrown
upon the northern market, the supply
would exceed the demand, and loss,
at first, would ensue. My proposition
is to ship direct to the continent of
Europe, as we'll as to the north. 1t
would take us but little time to drive
other yarns from the market. The
process of approaching the spinning
of our entire crop would be gradual,
and would keep place with the grad
ual withdrawal of our competitors.
The arguments in favor of spinning
will apply with equal force in
favor of weaving. / have, however,
confined my calculations and sugges-
tions to spinning, because it Is more
simple, and requires less capital and
is, therefore, more likely to be gener-
ally adopted at en- early day.
TO show the practicability of this
plan, / submit ali estimate for cotton
mill with 1850 spindles, ring traveller
frames:
Number of square feet of flooring,
l0,200; amount of number ~ yarns
manufactured for spindle, 81 pounds.
Total amount of number 20 yarns man
ufactured in mill, 354, $3.50 pounds.
Cost of first class machinery. with
all the latest improvements, viz, one
large cylinder cotton opener (English);
one double lap machine (English) one
three-cylinder opener, with one beater
(English) ). ten self-stripiDg 36.inch
cards, with two r. W.-heads, throughs
and belts; two drawing frames and
cans one English slubber; sixty spin
dies; two English Jack rowing frames,
2O4 spindles each fourteen reels, ira

ting up machinery, findings to cotn-
mence with, ETC., etc, S43, 900; build
ings including houses for operatives
ESTIMATED by an experienced con-
tractor), $1,000, total $50,0OO. Such a
mill will give employment to 81 opera
tives and will consume 8S7 bales OF
cotton weighing $50 pounds each. Es.
timated net profits Oh production, if
sold at cost of northern produc-
ton, Sl7,743. No estimate is made of
the cot of water power as that would
depend upon location, size and nat
ure of stream.
Finally with great diffidence, but
with equal earnestness, l urge upon
the convention and upon the southern
people generally, careful consideration
of the facts and figures submitted and
close with the suggestion, that the
houses of correction for juvenile de-
linquents, who abound in our midst,
and penitentiaries for females he es.
tablished, and that their inmates, as
we'll as those of the orphan asylums,
be employed in cotton manufacturing.

lieve that am correct in saying that
