Special to The journal.
Helena, Mont, March 3.-The house last
night heard the report of its committee
which has been Investigating the alleged
samonns graft ON the part of state and
municipal officials. The report says that
state and city officials have known and
are aware of fragrant violations OF the
law, but with few exceptions have failed
and refused to stand by the law.
The committee cannot however, the re-
port states. specifically charge any officer
with having received tribute from gam
blers but finds that the violations of
the law in the large cities Of the state are
SO open and notorious. that the officers
t"cannot be ignorant and that their neglect
OF duty can only be ascrbed to either
criminal connivance or some unworthy
motive. ~
! The report says that witnesses wilfully
| and deliberately committed perjury. evad
! ed questions and had lapses of memory
and resorted to subterfuges in lodging
! questions. Attention is called to the fact
| that the attorney general in 1901 secured
| the enforcement of this law, but after a
few months zeal the county and city au-
| thorities relaxed their vigilance with the
/ result that gambling was soon running
! openly and notoriously. -
|. Searching Investigation, the commit
| tee says, will show an appalling state of
| corruption. The house in committees5of
| the whole considered the bill licensing
gambling. which had it's enacting clause
stricken out by vote of "a to AZ.
Becomes Law Without Signature.
Accompanied by a letter stating that he
did not believe the bill to be constitution
al but that he did not. care to veto it.
because it passed both houses by a, sub
stahtal majority, Governor Toole last
evening sent to the secretary of states
office for filing senate bill II. the so called
fair trial bill which now becomes part OF
the laws of the state.
This is the bill which the Heinze follow
ing worked SO hard to defeat in both
houses. They thought the governor would
veto it, and his failure to do so proved a
great blow to the young copper mining
millionaire
Heinze thinks the bill is directed, at the
Butte judges. with whom rests the first
hearing in all Amalgama d-Heinze lfti=
cation. and who have invariably decided
favorably to HeinZe.
The bill provides that where a itigant
can show to the satisfaction of the su-
preme court that the judge will not grant
a fair and impartial trial because OF preju-
other judges to try it.

THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST
Ed Is ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vinol as an
Appetite Creator.
We GUARANTEE THAT VlN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
It is because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
30 much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the clements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and a.good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in vinol we have tIose
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we hsve tonic and rs-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is a letter thatwin ex-
plain itself:
s. This is to certify that have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. / have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that g1adly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
It's recuperative powers. ."-MRs. ELIz.
ABETH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one In this place to
know more about our Vinol, how it
| cures and what It cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder We
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us; and
| We want al to bear In mind that We
| viii gladly refund TO any one who u
| not satisfied with the action Of Vlnol
