How to Prevent Group.

twill be good news to the mothers
OF small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears.
and II will dispel all symptoms Of
Group. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This rem
edy is used by many thousands of
mothers and has never been known
TO fail. 1t is. in fact, the only remedy
that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to take.

FACTS ABOUT MONTANA.
Feruusen's Report Gives Some In
terestinq Statistics.


Advance shets from the biennial
report of the bureau Oh agriculture,
labor and industry have bene sent
out from Commissioner A. j. Fer
guson's office, these forming that
part Of the report devoted to a brief
history of the state and the oppor-
tunities held out to the homeseker,
and facts concerning the lands of the
state. OF Montana's approximate
$4,000, 900 acres, the report says 26,-
100000 are classed as mountain lands
3O,OOO,00O as farming lands, and 49,
100000 as grazing lands. The main
range of the Rocky mountains has
an average width of 1S0 miles and
the peaks vary from 5000 to $4,000
feet above the sea level. The dis
tance from east to west across the
state varies from 460 miles to $40
miles and north and south is about
275 miles. The mighty Missouri
flows for nearly 1000 miles on Mon
tana soil, and the Yellowstone. navi-
gable for 450 miles, lies wholly within
its borders. In the valley of the
western slope gather the waters that
gather to form the great Columbia
river.
The population as given by the
twelfth census for 1900 was 2x2329.
From a careful estimate based upon
the school census and the list of reg
dstered voters the present population
Is placed at no. less than 265,0o0.
The report says that the aand re.
turned for taxation this year in the
various counties of Montana had an
aggregate area Of 10,S42,536 acres,
this representing the amount ITO
which title has passed from the gov.
ernment. The taxable land holdings

the Result Of the Special Election
Held Saturday.
REPUBLICAN is NOW AHEAD
Vote Shows a Falling on Of Nearly
Two Hundred, but Each Party
Suffered About Equally.

Billings. Dec. 22.-The situation In
the special election results, briefly
summed up, is as follows:
Returns from all but three pre-
cincts In the county, received Satur.
day night. gave Bever a majority OF
one. Returns from Fairview, receiv.
ed Sunday night, gave him a majority
of six additional, increasing his ma
jority to seven votes. A telephone
message from Thomas ranch received
this afternoon gave Mr.. Bever eight
more. increasing his total majority
to fifteen votes.
Mr.. Bever stated that he has re-
ceived reliable information that Mr..
Morse received majority of four
teen votes at Upper Musselshell,
which cut down Bever's majority to
one. Unless an error has been made
In footing up the returns from the va
rious precincts, Mr.. Bever is probably
elected by the narrow margin OF one
vote.
In this afternoons issue Billings
newspaper claimed another tie. CIV
ing the candidates $50 votes each.
Neither of the candidates are able to
confirm this repot.
At $50 o'clock this evening Mr..
Morse gave out the information that
he thought that Bever was elected by
one majority. This was contingent
on Morse having received only thir.
teen majority at Upper Musselshell.
Morse claims that the count at
Thomas ranch was eight to two In IA
vor of Bever, while Mr.. Bever claims
that he has positive information from
that precinct that he received eight
votes and Morse none.
The board OF county commission.
ers Is in session this week and the
vote Will be counted just as soon as
all of the official returns are receiv-
ed. IL will positively take an official
count to settle the matter. although.
as stated, Mr.. Morse now comedies
Bever's election by one.
According to the returns received
by Bever. the two precincts not yet
reported cast the following vote:
Thomas ranch-Bever. 8; Morse, O..
Upper Musselshell - Bever 1;
Morse. 15.
According to Morse's Information
there were only fourteen votes cast
at Upper Musselshell and his majori-
ty Is thirteen there. but he claims two
votes at Thomas ranch. These the
Republican candidate say Morse did
not get.
Bever's Information from that pre-
cinct came by telephone from c. NJ.
Bair, who went to Thomas ranch
this morning. II Is confirmed by
Bert Shorey, who was at the precinct
until 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. at
which hour, he says. all the votes had
been cast and counted. II this Is cor.
rect. and Mr.. Morse's information
from Upper Musseishell is also cor
rect. Bever wins out by a majority
OF two.
