II feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of
nine, of spasms. She commenced having them
at the age of three. Our family doctor said
she would outgrow them but she did not.
We took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in mild form.
He did her no good either. She was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As / had
already used DR.. Miles Nervine and found
it good remedy for myself commenced
giving it to my child. ! gave her in all ten
bottles OF the Nervine and one of the Blood
Purifier. That was over two years ago and
she has not had an attack since we COM
menced the treatment. She is no longer
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured. enclose her pic
ture. My mother-in-law lost her reason and
was insane for three months from the effects
OF LaGrippe. Six bottles of DR.. Miles Ner-
vine cured her. My sister has also taken it
for sick headache with good results. We all

College about 1st Of October. I like
the school all right. I don't think
made any mistake in coming here to
school. It is said by reliable people
that the college is in better condition
every way than has ever been known.
DR.. W. J.. Lowery, our president, is a
man Whom to know is to love, and
our teachers are christian gentlemen,
and as good teachers as can be found
anywhere. The boy who can't sue
coed after coming here is a sure fail
ure anywhere.
There are several boys from old
Rankin here and I am proud to say
that they reflect honor on their home
county.
We have two good literary societies
here that are very important in the
school; they are the Philomathean
and Herminean societies, and don't
think they are excelled in the state.
take The News and can't do with
out it.
Lest my letter should grow tiresome
Ill close, with best wishes for the
success of the paper, and all my
friends in Rankin.

T. j. Gates and J. E. Murray came
up from Johns Sunday afternoon hav-
ing in. custody a white man named
Smith, who escaped from the Rankin
state farm last week Tuesday. The
prisoner was captured Saturday night
by Mr.. Gates. The fugitive had gone
to negro house and demanded
something to eat, and they, suspic-
ioning him an escaped convict, mott
fed Mr.. Gates, who hurried to the
scene with his shot gun and made the
arrest. The man showed no desire to
resist the arrest, and after he had been
carried to Mr.. Gates house, made
confession. The prisoner stated
that he in company with another con-
'vict, being tired of prison life and
desiring change .of diet and water,
left the farm on the day above named !;
they soon parted, and he did not know
whether the authorities had appre-
hended the other man or not. He says
that the guards with dogs were in hot
pursuit, and that several times they
came in hearing distance, but he
evaded them by means invented by
himself. Smith was sent up FROM
Lauderdale county for term of four
years, and had served nearly two
years of his time He requested Mes
sers. Gates and Murray to turn him
over to the governor, as he dreaded
to go back to the farm without kind
words to the managers from that Off
cial. His request was granted. Messrs.
Gates and Murray will receive the
$50 statutory reward offered for es-
capped convicts.

One of the most important matters
brought before the annual meeting of
the Society of Montana Pioneers last
week at Dillon was the proposition to
establish in the public schools what
shall be known as pioneers Day.
The plan was suggested to the meeting
by Mrs. Laura E. Howey, librarian of
the state historical society, and met the
attendance upon the meeting. A COM
mittee composed of Conrad Kohrs and
A. M Hotter of Helena, A. Nj. Walker
of Anaconda, Green Majors of Butte,
and 7. f. Collins of Great Falls, was
appointed to assist in bringing the
matter to the attention of the next ses-
have the legislature set apart one day
of each school year, to be denominated
"Pioneers' Day but not to be holt
day. the idea being that that day shall
be given up to the study of Montana
history exclusively. The idea has
been adopted in several of the eastern
and southern states. and has been
found great factor in inspiring the
students of the public schools to a
study of the early history of their state.
1t is suggested that the day in Mon
tana shall be the Sth of November, the
anniversary of the date of Montana S
admission to statehood, and this is the
date likely to be chosen.

A NARROWING RIDE.
Uackens' Trip by StagecOach From
Cleveland to Sandusky.

OAckens' Trip by StagecOach From
Cleveland to Sandusky.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
lea In 1912, he travelled by stagecoach
from Cleveland to Sandusky. o. De-
scribing his experience, he wrote:
AT one time we were all thrown to-
gether In heap at the bottom Of the
coach. and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
TWO wheelers. and now it was rearing
up III the air. The driver, who certain
~ got over the ground in a manner
quite miraculous. so twisted and turn
ed the team in forcing a passage cork
screw fashion through the boys and
swamps that it was common circum-
stance on looking out of the window to
see the cOachman with the ends of q
pair of reins in his hands. apparently
driving nothing. and the leaders star
ing unexpectedly at one from the back
of the coach, as if they had some idea
of getting up behind.
"A great portion of the way was over
what Is called corduroy road which
Is made by throwing trunks of trees
into marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
riage fell from log to log was enough.
1t seemed. to have dislocated all the
bones in the human body. 1t would be
impossible to experience a similar set
OF sensations in any other circum-
stances unless perhaps in attempting
to go up to the top of st. PauIs in an
omnibus"
This description serves to illustrate
the condition of our country roads, gen.
orally speaking. as they were half
century ago except in few wealthy
communities. There has been a Won
derful change since then.

A. B. CLARkE'S BIG HORSE SALE
To Take Place at
10 FAKE Pl0ce at
Billings, Montana, October
18th to 3lSt, 1902.
Editor Rosebud County News:

have now made three large range
horse sales at Miles City, Montana,
and two at Sheridan, Wyoming. 1
will make a sale at Billings, Montana,
October 9th, 18th, 29th, 3Oth and 31st,
at which time will have buyers for
5000 horses. I have never sold less
than 1000 horses at any sale, and 1
never had as many horses as 1 could
have sold. At my last Sheridan sale
l had buyers from as far east as Ver-
mont and Maryland, and as far south
as Louisina and Mississippi. 1 have
been in the range horse business for
twenty-five years, and have a wide
acquaintance with dealers in every
section. The time is now here to sell
your horses; crops are fine and feed
plentiful and cheap, and horses in the
farming sections are scarce and high;
the southern trade is also very active.
Anyone having horses large enough
for feeders will find strong market.
These horses must weigh 1900 to 14OO
pounds; horses for the southern trade
should weigh $50 to 100 pounds. There
is also strong demand for mares and
colts, yearlings and two-year olds,
from the farmer trade. Remember
never sell d horse until the owner is
ready, and never make any charge
unless the horses are sold; all YOU risk
is the expense of bringing the horses
to Billings.
TO those who live west of Billings on
the railroad want to saw that YOU
can bill your horses to St. Louis or
Chicago to feed at Billings, and we
will sell them subject to all freight
charges, SO that you will be out nothing
but the commission. The commission
for selling will be one dollar per head
for all horses sold in punches, and
$3.50 for all horses sold singly or in
pairs. Horses weighing from 1900 to
14oO lbs. have brought $50 to $l37 each
at my former sales; mares and colts
have brought from SIS to 500; year.
lings have sold from $12 to $35; two
year Odds have sold from $13 to $45;
ponies at from Sis to S35; old COW
ponies at from SIS to $50.
REMEMBER no charge for horses not
sold.
REMEMBER no horse sold unless the
owner is willing.
REMEMBER I will have BUYERS for
5000 horses.
REMEMBER that conditions were
never so good.
REMEMBER we will have buyers for
the commonest ponies as we'll as the
heaviest draught horses.
REMEMBER to bring in your broke
horses.
REMEMBER the date and have your
horses ready.
REMEMBER this will be the greatest
sale ever held in the north west.
