FORT kEOGH.

According to the information re-
ceived from there and from Miles City,
also, it would seem that the days of
Fort Keogh as a military post are
about numbered. While the order
abandoning the fort has not yet been
formally issued, the fact that all work
has been stopped on the new hospital
and the workmen have been dis
charged, on orders from the war de-
partment, makes it only a mat
ter of a short time, possibly days,
until the final order by which the
troops now there will be removed and
the post actually abandoned. To the
people of Miles City the abandonment
of the fort will a great financial
loss, as the post in the past has been
n of the principal sources of revenue
to the merchants and business men
generally of the place and has also
put much money in circulation among
the ranchers and farmers of that
locality. Socially also the city will be
the loser, as the officers and their
families have always been prominent
in Miles City society and have con-
tributed not a little to the gayety and
pleasures of the town.
But Miles City and it's immediate
vicinity will not be the only losers
by the abandonment of the fort. The
loss, directly and indirectly, will be
that of the entire eastern part of the
state. 1t is true that during the years
which have elapsed since the Spanish
war began the garrison maintained
there has been a small one, never
exceeding a troop of cavalry, but be-
fore that time, when the post was
garrisoned to it's full capacity, it af-
forded a market for much that the
people of Custer and the other east
ern Montana counties had to sell,
especially in the way of forage, beef
cattle and horses, and much money
IN consequence was put into circula-
ton that otherwise would never have
found it's way into what may be des-
ignated as local channels. This fact
and the further fact that eastern
will now be left without a
single garrison to protect it against
possible Indian uprisings, something
that is likely to at almost any
time and when least expected, will
cause the regret felt at the order
abandoning the post to be more than
merely local to Miles City and the
people who see financial loss o. onel

of politics than he knew some time
ago. It will be seen that while he is
rec in his criticisms and denuncia-
tons of the platform, he takes good
care not to say a word against any of
the nominees; On the contrary, he
eulogizes them, and asks the support
of the party for them. How sincere
he is in making the request, of course,
only he can tell, but he keeps his
record clear and the charge of boiling
cannot be laid at his door. While in
wardly he may wish for the defeat
of the men nominated, he is careful
not to leave an opening for his enc
mics to take advantage of in the
future and no matter what charges
they may bring against him as far as
~disloyalty to the platform is concerned
he is clear of attaint as to the ticket,
and with the man whom he hates
above all others he can expand his
chest and proclaim 81 am a demo-
crat." Willy Mr.. Bryan. While urg-
ing his followers to support the
ticket he is scheming to bring about
it's defeat and damning it with faint
praise as the best way of accom-
plishing his end. Mad? Of course,
he is mad; simply boiling over with
indignation and the way he goes at
the platform shows it. But he is an
humble man and although he has
been kicked OUT of the party in Ohio
he does not propose to stay out and
they cannot get rid of him quite as
easily as they thought. They may
pitch him out of doors, but he will
crawl back through the window, all
the time waiting for a chance to get
back at Dave HILL. whom he holds
responsible as the author of his woe
and disgrace.
1t will be interesting to watch his
from now. Having come
out with an appeal for support for the
ticket nominated on a platform that
abandons all democratic principles
and is a snare and a delusion. natur-
ally wonder exists as to what he will
do when the other fellows, who believe
as he believes and who receive their
inspiration from him nominate their
ticket. The p~redicament in which he
will then find himself will be one suf-
ficiently complicated to tax even the
ability of Mr.. Bryan as a man gifted !
with the knack of getting out of tight
politically. If he remains
neutral he will lose the friends who
are going to sacrifice themselves for
him and if he urges support of their
ticket he will lay himself open to the
of untruthfulness and deceit
because he has already urged all
to support the ticket now
in the field. But Bryan is shifty and
his skill as a political acrobat may be
depended upon to get him out some
way, if such a thing is at all possi-
BILE.
Meanwhile such ardent admirers
and stanch supporters of his as the
Butte Miner call him a "scold,"' and
say that he is not likely to make the
world feel any too kindly toward
nim.

EPWoRTH LEAGUE coNvEN-
TON BEGINS WORK.
IMPRESSIVE SCENE NACTEDl
Principal Exercises Prove Unusual
~ Inspiring and Long to
Be Remembered.

San Francisco, July 18-The fifth
International convention Of the Ep-
Wr,tt league vas opened today under
most auspices con ,lltions. The wealth
er was ideal and the attendance equal
led the most sanguine expectations.
The scene at Mechanics pavilion,
where the pricipal exercises of the
day were held, was one not soon to
be forgotten. Never in its history
has the spacious interior of the pa
Wilton presented a more impressive
spectacle and every unsightly inch of
wall was hid by tasteful decorations.
The great volumes Of music from
human threats and accompaniment
of the Stanford organ inspired a feel
ing of reverential admiration and
homage.
The. railroads had virtually fulfilled
their promises and landed the last of
the eastern delegates here in time
for the Introductory services. The
great army of 10000 men and women
in the rank and file was provided for
in a manner most gratifying to all.
This morning communion was SER
we'd in three Of the largest churches
in the city, which, however, were en-
tirely too small to accommodate the
throng which sought admission. BY
noon the vast interior of Mechanics
pavilion, having a capacity of over
$4,000 people, vas filled with a mass
of humanity which moved slowly
along the aisles, stopping at frequent
intervals to examine and partake, Of
some choice California fruit, for, with /
lavish hospitality, almost everything Y
had been provided without cost, to
the visitors.
The pavilion is ordinarily a big,
bare, barn like structure, but it has
been transformed into a spacious and
comfortable auditorium, lavishly dec
Grated with flags !, evergreens and
flowers, and rooted with the national
colors. The acoustics have been
greatly improved and the music of
the grand organ rolls through the
building without an echo. Banners
of the nation, of Canada and of the
league are everywhere in evidence.
A meeting of officers of the league
was held shortly after noon and con
siderable time was devoted to a dis
cussion of work in foreign fields. All
the speakers dwelt on the Importance
of spreading the faith in the new pos
essions of the United States. While
this conference al in progress, a
Christian Chinese, with his five chill
dren, wearing the Epworth league
badge attracted much attention.
When the convention proper was
called to order by Rev. Thomas Fill
ben of Pacific Grove not q blank
space was to be seen from the grand
organ to the furthest gallery. After
a service of song, led by Robert Hus-
band and participated in by a chorus
of 1000 voices, General Secretary ].
F. Berry read a number of congratu-
latory messages received from promi-
nent men throughout the United
States, President Mckinley and Vive
President Roosevelt among them.

Judging from present Indications
the men who robbed the Great North
ern train ear Malta, July 8, will
be caught. The posses that have
been following up trails and alleged
clues are returning to their homes and
the chase after the outlaws has been
practically abandoned. 1t is true a
few men still remain out, to guard the
southern boundary Of the bad lands
in order that escape of the banditti
in that direction, should they still be
in the section to the north. may be
cut off. But even the presence of the
guard in that locality is merely a
matter of precaution and nobody be-
lieves hat the robbers are anywhere
naar the guarded area. The officers
who have led the posses apparently
have done all that could be reason
ably expected of them and everything
has been done by them that prudence
and an earnest desire to capture the
guilty one could suggest. To those
who believe in the administration of
the law and the punishment Of the
lawless the failure to capture the des-
peradoes is the source of regret, not
only because the perpetrators of this
particular crime are likely to go un-
punished, but because 1t may stimulate
others of the same kind into the COM
mission OF more crimes of like sort.

Yes, August Flower, still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in. the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for indigestion and
biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration of heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system. and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
