SATURDAY WAS

WITH DR.. DoDD, THE EYE
SPECIALIST
MANY CHILDREN FITTED
The Doctor Will Remain at the
Grand Hotel Another
Week.


Saturday was childrens day with
Dr.. Dodd and many took advantage
of the opportunity OF having their
children's eyes examined. Several
teachers also called and altogether
the doctor was kept quite busy; he
was unable to examine all who called,
but made appointments with them for
this week The doctor in answer to
a reporter as to- how long ne would
remain in Billings, replied, that on
account of there being SO many here
in need ct mis- services he would re-
main until his Offices in Butte were
ready for him, but could not state
definitely whether that would be long
er than this week or not, he also said
he was surprised to find so many peo-
pie wearing improperly fitted glasses.
to say nothing of those net wearing
them and suffering with headaches
and nervousness when they should
have worn them for years.
There were five cross-eyed children

only required proper glasses to bring
their eyes in line and relieve them Of
all optical trouble, the other case the
doctor thinks could be Strengthened ia
time by glasses, but the fact that this
child has gone so long using one eye
and ignoring the weak one, will re-
quire, perhaps, several months use
cf glasses to straighten his eyes ems
tirely. His parents said they had in-
tended having his eyes operated upon
as soon as they were able, but when
the doctor explained that that would
not remove the necessity for glasses,
that the primary cause Of his eyes
crossing was an optical defect and as
straigtening the eyes did not remove
this defect, unless glasses were worn
they would cross again.
Dr. Dodd will continue making Tree
examinations this week.

IfWith booming cannon, inspiring
music, marching men and flaming
torches the republicans of Yellow
stone county formally opened their
campaign last Saturday evening.
The announcement that the Hon.
Joseph M. Dixon, the party's candidate
for congressman, would address the
people had caused many from the sur
rounding localities to come to town
and the streets were packed almost
to suffocation when the hour arrived
for the parade to wind it's way
through the principal th0rOughfares
of the city. The column formed at
the corner CT Montana avenue and
Twenty ninth street, facing north. In
advance was a carriage containing
Mr.. Dixon, Senator Meyer, DR.. Prick
ett. chairman of the county commit
tee, and one or two others. Next
came the Eagle band and then the
Republican club, several hundred
strong. Up Twenty-ninth street the
march led to First avenue, north.
thence east to Twenty-seventh street,
south to Minnesota avenue, west to
Twenty-ninth street, to Montana ave-
nue.. thence east to the opera house,
where the speaking took place.
Some of the marchers carried trans
parencies that were catching and
evoked much laughter and applause
from the spectators strung along the
| sidewalks. One declared that the re
| publicans "believe in pensionlne
soldiers, not democrats and also
broadly intimated that the people
were opposed to third terms. Anoth
| er said that CAS- to trusts, we trus'

"The purity and integrity of the su
preme court must be maintained ant
asked all to vote for w. L. Holloway

rived the theatre was almost flle'

James Younger Ends His Life by

ted suicide today by shooting. Youn-ss
ger was recently paroled from tneS
Saltwater penitentiary, where ne and
his brother, Coleman. were serving
life sentences for participation IN the
Northfield bank raid in 1876.
Under the terms of the parole the
brothers were not to leave the state,E
and since their release they nave
been engaged in business OF various
sorts. James Younger has suffered
much from old wounds and severak

said he was satisfied that the con-
vention had made no mistake and that
the judge was the man needed for the
place. "If a man can be elected
district judge in district composed
of farmers of the old, hard-headed
sort, men who carefully weigh the
character of a candidate" said Mr..
Dixon, sit is safe to put him down
as fairly good and honest man.
Getting down to politics, Mr.. Dixon
said that the way to judge of party
was tc' consider it's record and accom-
phshments. The party that did the
most for the people was the one they
should affiliate, with. If from the
record of the democratic party the
people believed it had done the most
for them they should vote for it's caii-
didates, but if they believed that the
republican party promised better and
deserved their support they should
vote for it's candidates, as matter
of duty and for their own interests.
Rapidly sketching the history OF the
nation from the time that the repub.
lican party first became natlana:

it's achievements that the republican
! party was entitled to no small portion
Of the credit for the advancement the
| country has made since then. Re
| viewing the conditions that existed
in 1892. Mr.. Dixon spoke of the prom
ises made by the democratic leaders
and their appeals for the necessity
of a change, he told how the people
had taken them at their word and
voted for Cleveland. Almost imme-
diately business stagnation, CONNER
cial depression and industrial ruin
had followed. Cleveland's Inaugural
ton had been followed by Coxey ar
mics, idle men tramping to Washing
ton demanding bread and not recelv
ing that had contented themselves
with soup.
Next the speaker dwelt on the con
| ditions that existed in 1896 when
! Cleveland's second administration
was drawing to a close. The demo
cratic remedy for the hard times ther
prevailing was free silver and they
nominated Bryan. Fortunately tol
the country Mckinley was elected
and almost instantly a change en-
sued. But SO thoroughly imbued hae
the people of the western part OF tn
state become with the idea that re

well known and prominent repuDli-
cans.
After lively air by the band and
several selections by the SOKM quar-
tette, all original campaign songs, DR..
Prickett briefly introduced Mr.. Dixon.
The applause which met that gentle
man as he advanced to the footlights
assured him of the heartiness of his
reception.
Without any hourishes or attempts
at oratory but in an easy, conversa-
tional manner that gentleman at cnce
began his address and spoke to the
people as though he were addressing
himself to a few acquaintances, rath-
er than public meeting assembled
for the purpose of hearing what he
might have to say on questions IN
which all were vitality interested.
Mr.. Dixon began his address hy
saying that recently Mr.. Evans had
been down in this part of the state
and told the people about the demo
! cratic troubles from an Amalgamated
standpoint and that still more recent
ly Mr.. Heinze had been here and told
the same trouble from the Montana

point. The party was disrupted and

their row fer few weeks longer the

But at last. with a cry OF joy,
She remembered the sweet, sweet pas;

The discovery of two Of the monu-

the effect of re-opening the Alaskan

When he made the arrangement for
the hauling down of the stars and

Alaska he wanted to please England,
even at the cost of the United States.
John Hay has the unenviable record
of being the first American secretary
of state who consented to the aliena-.
ton of portion of the national do
main. By his advice President Me
ISinIey ordered the American flag to-
be hauled down and removed about a
hundred miles westward, thereby con-
ceding to Canada territory as large as
the state of Rhode Island, The Hud-
son Bay company paid rent to the Rus
slams for permission to use this terri
tory. When we purchased Alaska
from Russia we, of course, succeeded
to allathe rights the latter had former
Is claimed and exercised In our newly
acquired territory. These rights We're
never questioned until Anglomania
became dominant in Washington,
Then Canada made the claim which
Secretary Hay has virtually recog-
nized as just by the temporary ar
Management which has placed several
thousand American citizens under the
British flag. The New York World,
in commenting ON this transfer, says
of 1t: ''For fifty years after the
treaty no map in the world showed the
boundary as other than the treaty In
dicated. Not until 1893, when Klon-
dixie gold had made the region import

alter their maps to fit the Canadian
claim. To 1uggle q thirty-miles-fr
