To Capture Dewet.

London, Feb. 1O.-The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Times, wiring, giving
a brief outline of the British operations,
says:
tine British forces operating against
Christian Dewet consist of four columns
under Knox, Maxwell, Pitcher, and
Crewe. They hope to force Dewet on
the British corps on the Orange river.

for the northwesterly movement Of the

The Horse Stealing Cases.

Sheriff George G. Taylor returned from
Detroit City. Minnesota last week with
Geo. jacobson alias John Cowan, alias
Templeton. alias Anderson and placed
him in the county jail where he will be
held for trial, having waived examination
and having failed to give the bond re
quired of him. 1t appears from the
latest developments, that there we're 7
cars of horses in the shipment from
Galata about December 1st instead of 6
as at first reported. These horses we're
sold at Sioux City by Thuett Bros, the
firm which Stevenson claimed to repre-
sent, but so far no list of brands has beef
furnished by them. 1t is BOW up to the
stock association to obtain this informa-
ton, and to demonstrate to the people
OF the state that their official authority
is good for something besides the swip
ing of strays from small owners.

The proposed amendment to the law
governing primary elections, which de-
ciares a person ineligible to take part in
the primary meetings of his party unless
his name appears as a voter at the last
election in the precinct, is of doubtful
meri+. That prim aries should be regu
lated by law to a reasonable extent is
perfectly proper, but that q person
eligible TO vote at a general election
must not be allowed to take part in the
necessary preliminaries, is manifestly
absurd.

The legislature is busy in the consid-
Grafton OF a large number of bills and
shows a disposition to be painstaking,
although its action in declaring a bushel
of hay to be 1000 pounds of that com
modify shows a lack. of the method
which is desirable in law makers. 1t is
hard to keep down the author of freak
legislation and a great deal of valuable
time has been lost in the consideration
O fsuch measures. 1t is evident that
stock growing counties can secure no
legislation unless under the sanction of
the stock association.

Now that the Great Falls and Canada

Now that the Great Falls and Canada
railway is to be made a standard guage
road, the necessity of a daily mail SER
vice between Dupuyer and Pondera is
apparent. We are compelled to admit
that the prospects of another railroad 10
pass through this section are remote
and we believe that the best of every.
thing in the line of raIid communication
with the outside world is none too good
for our community. With a daily mail
service to and from Pondera, the people OF
Dupuyer would learn the news of the
world twenty-four hours earlier than at
present, besides being in daily communi-
cation with Great Falls. All that is
needed is for some one to take the first
step and the hearty cooperation of the
people of Great Falls is assured.

The bill introduced by Senator Mitch
ell of this county for the protection of
settlers against herded stock, passed the
senat but was unfavorably reported by
the house comu ittee on agriculture and
stock growing. The bill is published in
another part of this issue and a careful
perusal fails to disclose any unfairness
in its provisions. The bill was intended
as a protection to the health of people
who are obliged to use water from irrig
ating bitches for domestic purposes, and
to confirm them in the right to keep
herded stock from trampling and de-
stroying their bitches.
In the matter of trespassing stock
the provision that good aith in improve
ment on the part of the settler must be
shown in order that he might claim the
relief afforded by the bill, is certainly
fair to the stock owner. 1t seems to be
the will of the stock association, that
the settler, in order to maintain his
rights, must continue under the present
vexatious system, bringing suit for dam
cgeJ if he be e e. himself injured,
and patiently awaiting a definition of
his rights from the supreme court, where
if the legislature would but give the
matter sdue consideration our codes
would contain provisions establishing
such rights, set forth in language that
would obviate much litigation.

1T HAS BEEN EXAGGERATED.
Smallpox Situation as It Really 1s-Six
Patients Discharged Yesterday.

Billings has been given a "black-
eye'' the past few weeks Oh account
Of smallpox and it has been due main
ly to citizens Of the town and those
living contiguous to the city who have
exaggerated the condition far beyond
reason. It is easy for a report to be
magpified after it has once started the
rounds and this has proved true re-
garding Billings.
Only last week a gentleman resid-
ing on the Grow reservation had oc-
casion to be at Butte and during his
meanderings bumped up against a re-
porter for the Inter Mountain, to
whom he pictured Billings and vicin-
1ty as being alive with smallpox. One
of the remarks he is accredited with
having made is that there were 40
cases in the pest house and several
hundred were being cared for in pri-
vate homes. In Billings it is needless
to deny this, as the people here know
the true state of affairs, but for the
benefit of outsiders The Gazette pro-
nounces the report as unqualifiedly
false. There are at the present time
only "a cases in the pest house, some
six, patients being discharged yester-
day. Among the patients is a three
months old baby, belonging to a fam
lily which has been at the pest house
for a couple of weeks.
Citizens Of Billings are known to
have also lent a hand in exaggerating
the condition, for it is learned that
on several occasions letters have been
written to outside parties stating that
the city was quarantined. This is al.
together a mistaken idea. The city
is not quarantined, but graders from
the Toluca-Cody branch are quaran-
tined from coming into Billings.
To show how little effect the dis.
ease has had on Billings it is only nec-
essary to state that the schools,
churches and all public places have
never been closed for a moment.
There has been no p%erceptible de-
creas in the attendance at school.
The disease is gradually dying out,
no new cases having made their ap.
pearance at the pest house or in the
city for a week past. In conversation
with DR.. Free, the attending physi-
clan at the pest house, over the tele-
phone yesterday afternoon, he stated
to The Gazette that about 20 of the
patients would be discharged the
latter part of the month. w.

Lincoln, Neb., for use of the track
laying gang. The work of laying the
rail when once commenced will pro-
gress at a rapid rate. The fact that
old rails. are being used in the con
struction of this line would not indi-
cate that the Burlington intends to
add a great deal Of mileage beyond
Cody, as has been reported for the
past few months.
Although not definitely known, it
is thought that the train which will
run on this branch will be an accom-
mediation, making the round trip each
day. 1t will leave early in the morn
ing after the through trains from the
east and west have reached Toluca,
and return to that place in the even
ing in time to make connections with

HI NEW CENTURY.
Latest Product in the Typewriting
World.

Mr.. F. S. George, salesman for the
New Century typewriter, has been in
the city for a few days showing up the
merits of that machine. The New
Century is the latest product in the
typewriter world, and is made by the
we'll known firm who manufactured
the old Caligraph. The New Century
has already a good showing in the
city, there being now six machines in
use. Among the typewriting experts
to adopt this machine are Mrs. Nina
J. Browne, of this city and Fred
Kreidler of Miles City, the court
stenographer for this district. In
selecting the New Century, both of
the above have discarded the Under
wood. Mr.. Hassler is local agent for
the New Century and any Il wanting
this machine should consult with
him. Mr.. George leaves for Living
ston today. The New Century a be
seen at The Gazette Office, where
three of the machines are in operation.

HEALTH LECTURE.
Professor Edward B. Warman Speaks to
Billings Schools.

Professor Edward B. Warman Speaks to
Billings Schools.
Prof. Edward B. Waramn of Chi
cago, editor Of the health department.
of The Ladies' Home Journal, gave a
very interesting and practical talk
yesterday afternoon in the assembly
room of the high school. His audi
ence was composed of the teachers
of the public schools and the pastors
of the churches and those who were
fortunate enough to know Of the ar
rangement made by Professor Brayton
or, so short a notice. His subject was
"Physical Education" and it was
handled in a mastery manner.
Mr.. Warman is an example of his
own theories and fully believes in
practicing what he breaches. and al
though his hair is white, he is as sup
pie and his step as elastic as that of a
young man-more SO than the average
young man. He considers the body
as the temple of the soul and as such
it should be a fit %habitation for a soul
pure and undeiled. The exercises he
gave we're most practical, especially
the art of going up and down stairs,
the exercises for suppleness of waist
muscles and to remove adipose tissue
also the liver-squeezer which, he
claims, will sure a liver headache in
one minute. He believes that proper
physical exercise is a panacea for
about every ailment of the human
body. He is an indefatigable worker,
averaging Is to II hours works out of
each "a, and has not been tired ment-
ally or physically for nearly 20 years.
He is an enthusiastic wheelman.
Last season he and his wife covered
8, 100 miles. He has been engaged in
physical lines 80 years and fully Ak
poets to be not less than 80 more. He
does not believe in the three score and
ten theory but refers his hearers to
Isaiah LXV-2O, and for still greater
encouragement to Gen. VI-3.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warman have travelled
extensively, having carried on their
work in every state and territory,
Canada and Old Mexico. Their COM
ing to Billings is quite opportune, as
there are many persons interested in a
better understanding of health laws,
food values and the general care of
the body. There is also a movement
on foot to secure Mr.. Warman for
some of his instructive entertainments
which have given him a national rep
u%tation and have been endorsed by the
press, the pulpit and the public
throughout the country generally.

WERE R1GHrFuLLY DISCHARGED.
Opinion of Wyoming Attorney General Con
corning Barth's Sheepherders.

corning Barth's Sheepherders.
No little amount of controversy oc-
CURED between the county attorney,
W. S. Collins, of Big Horn county,
Wyoming, and the attorney general Of
! Wyoming, owing to the fact that At
torney Collins ordered the discharge
of two sheepherders. who had been
arrested IN the charge of driving sheep
into Wyoming without first notifying
the state board of sheep commissioners
and paying the sum required to cover
expenses of inspection, MS required by
the law of that state. The shepherd
ers were in the employ of A. H. Barth
of this city, and mention of the arrest
was made in The Gazette at the time
of the occurrence. MI Barth con-
tended that the sheep rightfully be-
lopged in Wyoming, where he had paid
taxes Oh them for four years past,
and that they had only been over in
Montana a short time, having trailed
over in grazing. It was when taking
them back that the ,herders were ar
rested.
After hearing the evidence in the
case the county attorney ordered the
herders released, but it seems that E.
P. Snow. secretary of the Wyoming
board of sheep commissioners, vas
not satisfied and he has since been
trying to make trouble both for Mr..
Barth and County Attorney Collins.
The latter has inst received a COM
munication from the attorney general
of Wyoming, in answer to a letter
stating the facts, in which the attor-
ney general says that sheep belonging
in a Wyoming county and are simply
driven across the line into Montana
and held for a short time and grazed
do not come under the provisions of
the inspection act, requiring notice to
be given before they can be returned
! to the state.

NORFOLK GETS THE CON-
VENTION.

The democratic State convention
will meet in Norfolk August 14th.
The basis of representation OF this
body will be one delegate for every
leo votes cast for Bryan last year,
This will give a convention OF about
1,441, one of the largest gatherings
ever held in Virginia.
The Democratic State Committee
met in Richmond Thursday night and
agreed upon all of these questions
with great unanimity. 1t was the
almost unanimous sentiment of the
committee that with q convention OF
the size this is to be, Norfolk is the
only city in the State that could ac-
commodate it. With the delegates,
slternates and friends Of the various
candidates, it is estimated that the
crowd will be easily 5000. Neither
Richmond, Lyncbburg nor any other
city in Virginia, it was conceded, can
accommodate this great gathering.
The meeting was largely attended.
The committeeman and other leading
politicians in the State filed the hotel
lobbies. Among those there were
Senator, Daniel and Martin. The
former, however, was called to Wash
ington by telegram from President
Mckinley, and left at noon. Messrs.
Montague, Swanson, Echols and Mar
shall, the candidates for governor;
Messrs. Featherstone, Willard and
Irvine, the aspirants for second place
on the ticket, and Senator Jeffries, who
is running for attorney general, were
all much in evidence in the lobby at
Muiphy's Hotel. Besides, there were
Congressman Rhes, Of Washington;
Rixey, of Culpepsr, and most of the
prominent leaders in the State, The
gathering of Democrats was one OF the
largest seen in Richmond for a long
time.
Messrs. Montague, Swanson and one
of the other competitors for governor
expressed themselves perfectly salts
fed with the selection of Norfolk as
the place of meeting Of the convention,
Montague and Swanson both held
informal conferences with their friends.
At these the situation was talked over.
Both sides claim to be perfectly con-
fdtnt Of winning the nomination.
