mand for horse flesh with which to
prosecute the war in Africa by the
British government While in the lat
ter case the demand was largely for
saddle horses it is thought that the
next sale will be for horses adapted
for farm work.
Due to the Boer war Montana bred
saddle horses came into active de-
mand. They were suitable for the
service and gave most excellent sat
isfaction. For this reason it is be-
lieved that if a market for draft horses
is created in Africa with which to re-
stock Boer farms, Montana horses Of
a desirable class will be in as large
demand as they were when the British
government vas contending for SUI
premacy in that country.

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Lennox Held to Be Equally Guilty
With His Comrade Martin.

Butte, July 20.-Charles Lennox,
charged Jointly with James Martin
with the murder of John B. Williams,
a Butte, Anaconda & Pacific fireman,
on the night of May 10 last, was to-
day found guilty of murder in the
first degree. The trial was a hard
fought one and occupied the attention
of the court for four days. Martin
was last week convicted of the same
charge. The jury in the Lennox case
~deliberated for only two hours.
The crime for which both men were
convicted was the cold-blooded MUIR
der of John r. Williams at Silver Bow
Junction on May 10. Williams had
stopped off at Silver Bow on his way
to Anaconda, for the purpose of call
ing on a young lady. His presence
was noted by Martin and Lennox, and
they followed him from the saloon
to the railroad depot at about 1880
o'clock. They held him up on the
platform, and when he resisted their
efforts to~rob him, they fired at him.
He was struck by a 32-caliber bullet
and brought to Butte in a mortally
wounded condition.
Immediately after the shootingg the
highwaymen walked to Feeley, a dis
lance of nine miles, where they board
ed a freight train. The news of the
shooting had spread, and after the
men had ridden a few miles they were
told by the conductor of the train TO
go into a box car near the rear of the
train. Not knowing they were to be
%entrapped they climbed into the car,
when the door was closed upon them.
and they were arrested at Dillon.
Upon being returned to Butte Len.
nox made a confession concerning the
crime. and stated that the fatal bull
let was fired by Martin. He conceded
that he had planned with his partner
to hold Williams up.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Those men in this part of the coun-

buying business for the British gov
eminent during the time of the South
African war, and who shed crocodile
tears when the war was suddenly
terminated, believe that they see a
splendid prospect to. re-enter the bus
mess at a near future date. AS is
known, $500 0 900 is set aside by the
terms of the peace articles to re-
stock Boer farms. The men who were
at the head of the syndicate in Lon

British mount believe that the de-

will be just as great as was the de-

Combination OF Concerns Interested
in Cotton and Cotton Seed.

Especial to Atlanta Constitution.)
New York, April 19.-Negoliations for
the formation OF a cotton combination
are now going on secretly in this city.
Wall street has heard many rumors
that a cotton combine was being form
ed. but as nothing to the effect vas
known to be going on in this city it re-
fused to place any credence in the re-
port. Today, however, it was learned
that interests representing the Amari-
can Cotton Oil. the American Cotton
Ground bales) and the Virgina-Carolina
Chemical and Planters Congress COM
press companies held a conference in
his city today for the purpose of con-
solidating these kindred corporations.
Although o of the conferees would
discuss the meeting. Wall street be-
lieves that a combine has been effected,
as they have heard hat satisfactory
negotiations to this end have been pro-
crossing in the south.
The conference of the representatives
of the cotton interests here is partially
taken to mean that they are seeking
backing from financiers here. The
combine. when effected, will, cotton
brokers here believe. control all the
cotton interests in the south. 1t might,
they further believe, have a depressing
effect on them, as the influence and
power of the combine would give The
latter enough strength to control the
local cotton market and run it to their
own advantage and to the probable
disadvantage Of those who oppose the
combine.

Paine Celery
Compound
Guarantees a Freedom from
Disease and Sickness.
INDIFFERENCE AND CARElESSNESS LEAD
TO PHYSICAL SHIPWRtCK AND
THE GRAVE.

The weak, ailing, sick, and diseased
have now more than ever before under
their control their physical condition.
They are free agents, and almost
wholly responsible for their future.
When the brain is not affected, and the
mind can discern between right n
wrong, a duty to themselves, their
friends, and country loudly demands a
marked decision-prompt and deter
mined action when health is impaired
and life is in danger.
1t is the part Of wisdom that true de-
cision be made today; tomorrow may
be too late. In thousands of cases the
checking and Punishment OF disease
depends upon instant action; an hour
lost frequently means the snuffing out
Of some precious life.
Few people in our country are with
out some knowledge of the wondrous,
life giving virtues Of Paine's Celery
Compound, a medicine that guarantees
release from the disease common to
life.
What will you decision be today,
poo sufferer? VIII you give Paine's
Celery Compound the fair and honest
testing that others are giving 1t, with
its certain reward of health, strength,
vigor, or happiness. or will you remain
Indifferent and careless. content to pass
your few days or weeks in misery,
agony, and Indebtedness until the lark
grave claims you as its victim?
1t is almost needless to enumerate
the blessed results that flow from
Paine's Celery Compound when used
promptly in springtime, as you and
your friends have a knowledge of
them. OF this you may be assured; the
seeds OF disease are banished, the sys-
tenn is fortified, the blood Is made red
and pure. h nerves braced, digestion
regulated, headaches, sideaches, and
backaches forever dispelled, and sweet
restful sleep takes the place of insom-

n GREAT POETS.
Do Not study Them For Knowledge
Read Them For Culture.

Young men aid young women actual
ly go TO college TO take n course in
Shakespeare or Chaucer or Dante or
the Arthurian legends. The course be-
a mere knowledge course. My
W acquaintance with Milton was
through an exercise in grammar. We
parsed Paradise Lost" Much OF the
current college study OF Shakespeare
is little better than parsing him. The
class falls upon the text like hens
upon Il bone in winter. No meaning
OF phrase escapes them; every line
is literally picked to pieces. But of.
the poet himself. of that which makes
him what he is, how much do they
get? Very little, | fear. They have
had intellectual exercise and not an
emotional experience. They have add
ed 10 their knowledge, but have not
taken Il step in culture.
To dig into the roots and origins OF
the great poets is like digging into the
roots Of an oak or maple the better to
increase your appreciation of the beau
~ OF the tree. There stands the tree
in all its summer glory. Will you real
~ know it any better after you have
laid bare every root and rootlet? There
stand Homer. Dante. Chaucer and
Shakespeare. Read them, give your
self to them. and master them If you
ara man enough.
The poets are not TO be analysed:
they are to be enjoyed: they are not to
be studied. but to be loved; they are
not for knowledge. but for culture
to enhance our appreciation Of life and
our mastery over its elements. All the
mere facts about a poets work are as
chaff as compared with the apprecia-
ton OF one fine line or fine sentence.
Why study a great poet at all after the
OF the dissecting room? Why
not rather seek to make the %acquaint-
ance OF his living soul and to feel it's
power?-John Burroughs In Century.
