A Good Thing

German Syrup is the special prescrip.
ton of DR. A Boschee, q celebrated Ger.
man physician, and is acknowledged
to he one of the most fortunate discov.
cries In medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles OF
the severest nature, removing, as il
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper-
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which itsrapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

Of President Harlow OF the Montana

be commenced some time this sum

T. Robertson, chief engineer of the

days to definitely locate the line.
But no one should get excited or
be too sanguinc until the actual work
of grading is begun. However. It
would to be- the part of wisdom
to extend the road here. instead OF
stopping on the prairie some sixty
miles away. The road z increase
its freight and passenger business
wonderfully by the extension.

mate here indefinitely than to be re-
garded as a sort of water tank sta.
ton on a pretentious line. where
the cars stop as long as the bell rings;
such roads have killed more towns
than they have ever made.
We understand it is the intention
of the company to make the line first
class, reduce the grades, straigl ten
the curves, put in steel ~oulverts in
place of the present wooden ones,
Lake faster time and Afford better
accommodations for the travelling
rublic. There is great need of this
new and there will be greater neces
sity for improvement when q larger
public is to be accommodated. With
more powerful locomotives and bet.
ter coaches there would be little fault
found with the Montana railroad. In
the past the management has relied
chiefly upon Its freight business for
returns OF the investment, and the
line has given good satisfaction in
that direction. 1t is greatly to be
hoped that with the extension will
come greater consideration for pas
senger traffic, which will rapidly
grow in importance with the building
up Of the country.

Philippine BILL PASSED.
House Completes Consideration and
Accepts Panama Canal Bill.

Washington. June 26.-At s O'Clock
tonight, at the end of a nine hour ses.
sion, and of a debate lasting night and
day for a week, the house passed the
Philippine civil government bill prac.
tically as it came from the committee.
1t was a party vote, 149 to 81, with
the exception of Mccall of Massa.
chusetts, who voted with the Dem.
ocrats. The minority substitute for
the establishment Of a temporary gov.
eminent in the islands and their per-
manent independence as soon as sta
BILE government could be established
was defeated by 95 to 13G.
Before the consideration of the
Philippines bill was resumed today
the house by a vote of 252 to s adopt.
ed the conference report on the 18TH
main canal bill. The bill now goes to
the president.
The substitute OF the the senate
Philippines civil government bill diff
fers from this, as 1t passed the SEN
ate in many minor particulars, but
practically in the following: The
house substitute provides for a com
plete system OF civil government and
provides for a gold standard of coin
age, while the senate bill provides for
a silver standard of value. In deal
ing with the grant of franchises, the
house bill places many more restric-
tons on such grants than the sen
ate bill. In this respect the restric-
tons provided by the house follow the
lines of those provided for Porto Rico.
The bill provides for acquiring friars'
lands and for the issue of bonds suff.
cient to pay for the lands, the senate
provision making the interest rate

prevent much. litigation occasioned
by veins of one mine crossing the

bill provides that as to all claims
located after Jan. /. 1898. the locator

same be patented or unpatented. shall
have the exclusive possession and
ownership of all the surface thereof,

measurements. The extent OF the
claim is certainly liberal, though OF

DEATH OF JAMES FERGUS.

In the death of James Fergus the
people of this county mourn the loss

BY the strictest of Scotch parents he
was taught the lesson of industry.

the world and his study of science
and philosophy, he could not give as.

much one may have differed with him

The history that has been made
since James Fergus first saw the light
OF day would fill volumes. and what
did lot occur under his OWN observa.
tion will be found related in the books
OF his extensive library.
In politics Mr.. Fergus was an ear.

tional policies, though he frequently
