 NO large system has greater num- Der of able men connected with it. MT Samuel Spencer, the president has few equals, and the same can be said of Mr. w. w.

Too Much Whisky.

The less whisky consumed about indus trial plants the better" said an official of an iron company In this county, but If the men will drink liquor 1t would suit the company better if they could buy 1t and drink 1t at licensed bar. I am in a local option place and the men bring in whisky by the jug. In this way they drink to excess Local option may work well In some communities, but in the place refer to the results are as bad as could be imagined.
 'If iron workers would confine their drinking to beer no one would have cause to object. Beer is a good tonic for a man who Is exhausted from hard work, but whisky is hurtful and makes no end of trouble"

Church Going.

 "I am glad to see the Sunday school workers are taking a church going and Sunday school census of the city. In this way they will stir up interest and the result will be large attendance on the Sunday services. It used to be that all respectable men and women went to church. frequently If not regularly. But in this material age many of them have become absolutely indifferent to relig- ion. A renewed and systematic effort to change this condition should be made in every city"

End of the South African War.

Peace has come at last to the dis tressed and oppressed Boers. Brave to the last degree and stubborn be- yond all precedent, they have waged a hopeless war, and yet no doubt they have secured terms under which they can live comfortably, even if some of the dreams of their leaders must go unfulflled. These leaders were car ried off their feet by the war senti- ment of the Boe.s, which sprung partly from the ease with which they crushed Dr. "Jim," and partly from the resources which overtaxation of the Rand gave them. Whatever their political mistakes may have been, they won glory in defeat which is one of the hardest tasks set before men in this world. All the world will hereafter honor the brave people that battled nearly three years against overwhelming odds, both in men and in resources.
 The war was begun in November, | 1899, and these statements have been compiled by some statisticians:
 Total available fighting force of Boers (estimated) 50,0O0.
 Total number of British troops engaged from first to last 5OO,000.
 Largest number of British troops in field at one time, 2So,o00.
 British losses Official statistics to April l. 19O2): Total deaths in South Africa, 1920 officers, 2O,031 men.
 Missing and prisoners. two officers, 1S4 men.
 Sent home as invalids, 2937 officers, s5.- 311 men.
 Total, 3959 officers; SS,476 men.
 Boer losses: Prisoners, 27000.
 Killed and wounded-No statistics avail able
 Fighting Boers still in field (estimated) TOGO.
 Cost of war to Great Britain to date, about s1. .25o, ,OOoOOO.
 Cost of war to Boers-No statistics available
 Some of these statements are open to question, but be the cost what it may, plucky England faced the task and at enormous expense conducted a war on a distant field under cir cumstances of modern warfare to the end. She saved her South African empire, which Gladstone might have preserved twenty years ago at smalll expense, but in England as elsewhere foresight is never equal to hindsight.
 England retains intact South Africa, and she has on hand a quarter of a million of hardy, trained soldiers. She has ascertained, too, that a body of officers selected from an aristocracy limited In number means almost end less disasters, and her system of se- lection Is to be changed. Heavy as the bill Is, England will probaly come out the gainer in the long run. She is almost as strong now for battle on land in modern warfare as she Is on the sea, and no nation will be apt to provoke her to combat while her har- dy soldiers from South Africa are in fighting condition.

A SCOURCE THAT KILLS MANY
SHEEP.
Parasite That Resembles Tape Worm
Kills More Sheep Than Poisonous
Weeds

One of the large flockma sters of
Sweet Grass county is of the opinion
that in many cases where sneep are
supposed to have been poisoned by eat
ing loco weed, the diagnoses made
were faulty and that if the dead ami
mails had been opened it would have
been found that they died from the
effects of Il parasite in the alimentary
canal which preyed upon them until
death ensued. He said that last win
ter he lost $50 lambs, all of which had
manifested the usual symptoms of loco
poisoning. AT first their wool had
become rough and then the animals
had begun to waste in flesh.
He, as we'll as his neighho,S. believed
loco weed to be responsible for the
death of the lambs. Finally, however,
he concluded to open some of those that
died, and found that in the lower stom-
ach and intestines were parasites re-
sembling tape worms, some of them
many feet in length. By watching his
flock he observed that apparently
healthy sheep were afflicted with the
same worms. In some they developed
in numbers and then the animals
would die.
AS he explained it, the parasites or
worms are not all alike, there being
two or three different varieties present
in one animal, but all much of the same
general appearance, but differing in
size and in other respects.
While there was general similarity
between the symptoms manifested by
animals that were poisoned by loco
weed and those infested with the worms
described by him, the gentleman quoted
said little careful investigation will
make it easy to distinguish between
the two. In cases of loco poisoning the
teeth of the animals, he said, became
loose, something that did not occur in
those having worms. Their teeth re-
mained sound and firm, but a sl1my
mucus was found in the mouth and was
soon followed by diarrhoea, which in
turn was speedily followed by death.
From what he had been able to learn
as the result of his own observations.
he gave it as his belief that fully rs
per cent of the sheep which died in the
state from supposed loco poisoning
really died from the cause he gave.
