Gilt Edge, Tuesday, Feb. H.
Health Officer Wilson was up Mon
day and gave orders for the fumiga-
ton Of the houses which had been ex-
posed to the smallpox, and DR.. Lack
ey started in on the good work at
once. This looks like the beginning
Of the end. The order to fumigate
was given by DR.. Wilson just thirty
one days after the first two cases
were taken to the Lewistown pest
house, and all those germs that have
not died of old age will pay the death
penalty before the health officer. 1t
really seems too bad to destroy germs
that are in the prime of life and who
have lived such opulent lives at the
&C unty's expense. II was surely a
noble sacrifice on the part of our
health officer to thus cut off n of
his chief sources of revenue. 1t is an
act that every taxpayer in Fergus
county will appreciate and applaud.
One of the inmates of the pest
house was released Sunday and there
will be six more TO go today, this re-
duces the number in the pest house
to ten.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation al be taken
cut and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh. which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by

TRAIN RAN AWAY.
Exciting Experience Of Thomas Shaw
and David Hllger.

David Hilger and Sheriff Shaw re-
turned on Sunday by private convey.
ance from Harlowton. Mr.. Hilger
having attended the meeting of the
Pacific Northwest Woolgrowers' as
sociation at Helena, while the sheriff
was returning from one of his period
ical trips to Deer Lodge.
Mr.. Hilger relates an exciting and
blood curdling experience which was
undergone by the sheriff and himself,
while on the train from Lombard to
Harlowton, which, as related by Mr..
Hilger, is as follows:
when we arrived at the summit,
three miles this side of Dorsey, a snow
bank vas encountered and the engine
was detached from the cars in order
to buck nov On returning from the
steep incline it became uncomfortable
owing to the frost and snow on the
rails and started toward the cars at
a high rate OF speed. In order to avert
the impending collision the brakes
were thrown off the cars, which start
ed for the bottom of the hill. They
got up speed and the brakes were ap-
piled, but without success. and for
awhile we enjoyed a pretty swift ride.
The brakeman showed his head in the
door of the car and said: See here,
you fellows come out and work on the
brakes or we are all gone to h
We went outside and by putting a
stick in the brake wheels twisted
them up tight. but in spite of all we
could do the cars nearly went back
to Dorsey"

DISCUSSION ON OlEO.
Ten Cent Tariff Would Prohibit the
Manufacture of the Article.

In connection with the meeting of
the w~oolgrowers in Helena last week
David Hilger says that counting all
OF those who were Immediately in.
terested in the purposes of the con
vention there were in the neighbor-
hood of n thousand people present.
The discussion on the oleo question
was caused by the proposed placing
of a tax of ten cents, which would
be practically prohibitive, on every
pound of oleo that was manufactur.
ed and colored. This provision was
included in the Grout bill and is op.
posed by the National Live Stock as.
ISOLATION, which comprises the cattle.
men of the United States and espec.
tally of the entire west.
They are willing that ol~eomargarine
be stamped with its true name, but
strongly object to the tax. They ask.
ed the woolgrowers' assistance in kill.
ing the tax feature and in return
pledged themselves to render all the
assistance in their power in passing
the "Shoddy Bill" All that the reso'
lutions adopted on the subject call for
are that If sold and used as an arti,
Gle of merchandise that both shoddy
and oleo be stamped with their true
names and character.

Gilt Edge, Monday, Feb. TO-
The town of Gilt Edge presents a
most woeful aspect. Business of every
nature is rapidly coming to a stand
still. Even the saloons feel the de-
preston and the proprietors, in order
to curtail expenses, discharged their
mixologists and are dispensing to the
thirsty public themselves. while the
erstwhile sport, no longer able to buy
a stack" beguiles the time playing
checkers. The only thing going on in
town is the smallpox, and that seems
to be doing a flourishing business.
Six new cases were reported Satur-
day-E. ]. Berry and four of his chill
dren and John Daily's little boy. The
Daily boy was taken to the pest house
and the Daily home was thoroughly
~fumigated by DR.. Lackey, while the
Berry house was placed under quar-
%antine. This brings the total number
OF cases up to twenty-eight.
The quarantine caught quite a num-
Der in the town who were out of work
and under the existing circumstances
are unable to get out to ecure en-
ployment. Chairman Phillips came to
the aid of these Sunday by making
arrangements with Mr.. Dahl to feed
all such persons 1t the county's ex-
pense.
The outlook is anything but enc
couraging from Gilt Edges standpoint
but there is no way out of it now and
the town has assumed an attitude of
re signation with the intention of max
ing the best of a bad job. The worst
feature of the situation is the mail SER
vice. The quarantine prevents the
mail contractors from coming in or
going out of town. Under the advice
o. the inspector, the contractor on the
Junction route has notified our post
master that he will deliver the mail
tc the quarantine line and that unless
the citizens here provide for its trans
mission and delivery to that point, no
more mail will be brought here until
the quarantine is lifted. On the Lew
istown route our citizens have taken
up a collection to defray the expense
of bringing the mail from and taking
|. to Lewistown. This arrangement
will expire in five days and unless
some relief is secured our mail SER
vice will be cut off after Wednesday.

Tommy Was Not Forgetting.

The perplexing positions in which
spoiled children frequently place their
doting parents are sometimes more
annoying than humorous. A bright
boy in West Philadelphia brought
smile of anguish to the face of his
mother the other day when the pastor
dined with the family. Master Tommy
was at the table, and he behaved pretty
well until the cake was brought in.
Then, before the clergyman had been
served, the youth suddenly lurched
forward and snatched the piece he had
sized up as the biggest. The hostess
was dreadfully Inundated, and with
a distressed look said: "Why, Tommy,
you are forgetting that DIR. Dash is
here" With a witheringlook directed
toward the worthy pastor, still cling
ing to his dainty morsel: "Naw, I
amt forgettin' it, the boy said. "If
he wasn't here I'd be gettin' two
pieces"
