II is very fortunate that the new

PEELED TO resort to the primitive oil
lamp and tallow candle from last
Sunday night until the new connec.
tons were made. At 2 o'clock Sun
day night the generator of the old
plant burned out and every light on
the old circuit vas instantly eXtingu-
ished. A large force of men was put
10 work early Sunday morning and
got the buildings below Main street
connected with the new plant. but
the upper part of town had to rus.

was not entirely unexpected. as the
generator was overloaded. Its Capac
ity was 1900 lights. but II was car
rying 200 lights. or n third more
than it was designed for. Manager
Bright hoped that IL would hold out
for a few days, which would give hin
time to transfer the lights to the new
circuit. but the generator wouldn'
stand il. The loss has not yet beer
definitely determined as the genera

mean a financial loss of about $4,000
The accident to the generator will no
interfere with the pumping Of waite

CHRONICLE GOES UNDER.
After Almost Two Years Existence
Sheet is Forced to Suspend.

After struggling along for over a
year and a half. during which time his
enterprise was sustained, for the most
part, on hopes which were unfulfilled
and prospects which became
anything more substantial, +. r.
Cleveland. editor OF the Kendall
Chronicle. loaded his little plant in a
wagon last Friday and left for White
Fish. Flathead county, where he hopes
to find a location more satisfactory
from a financial standpoint.
When the Chronicle nrst started in
Kendall II was thought that the paper
would be sustained in very good
shape. and. with the continuous
come an influential publication. But
the town didn't grow up to the ex-
pectation of the boomers. Its two
big mines were operated steadily but
the nature OF the work made a large
number of men unnecessary and the
camp. though as good as any of its
size in the state, did not increase In
population at the phemnoinal rate pre-
dicted. The people did all they could
for the paper and Lewistown mer
chants were especially liberal in
their patronage, but ii was not suffi
cient. and after vainly looking for bet
ter things for almost two years. the
proprietor vas compelled to give VI
the struggle. During his stay In Ken
dali he made many friends who hope
to hear of his prosperity in his new
home.

DYspepsia.

People that have dyspepsia have
weak stomachs. weak hearts, weak
eyes and are usually weakened.
They feel bilious. and the world in
general has a bilious look to them;
they have so many symptoms that 1t
is difficult TO locate the place where
they feel the worst. The fact is, the
source from where they get their
strength has been cut off, and they
are sick all over. The food taken in
to the stomach remains undigested,
causing belching and bilious attacks,
followed by ~sick-headache, and gen.
eral weakness. The medicine that
puts the stomach in condition so that
the food can be readily digested, will
cure dyspepsia, and make strength
where there was weakness. We have
cured thousands OF persons during
the past 20 years of dyspepsia, with

Some Kind Words.

While Preston is rejoicing over new
railroad connections, Lewistown,
Montana. which has never yet had a
railroad of any kind, is also celebrat-
ing the arrival of the iron horse in

have ever seen, and is edited by John

to see the iron horse in Lewistown,

old people became kittenish at the
sight. Preston (Minn.) Times.

GOOD FOOT BALL A M
Two High School Teams Engage in
Some Hard Scrimmaqes.

Two teams from the high school
foot ball squad lined up for the sec
ond game OF the aso last Thurs.
dag and played two hard twenty-min-
ute halves. The boys showed a mark.
ed improvement over the form dis
played two weeks ago and with a lit
tie more practice on interference
work will be able to successfully hold
their own against any team in the
state of their weight. Their tackling
has improved immensely and from
the blow OF the whistle for the first
kickoff until the final scrimmage the
boys played for all there was in them.
Most of the gains were made on what
is known al straight foot ball" that
is line bucking and end runs, and
the only difference between the teams
was simply a difference in weight.
Both quarterbacks. Stephens and
Lewis, run their teams In a first-class
manner and when called on for a line
buck the backs responded in great
style.
Considering the experience the boys
have had there was very little fumb.
ling and the way they had of falling
on the ball when a tumble did occur
was good to the sight OF n eXper'
fenced in the game.
Grupe's team won the game sim
ply because they had the advantage
in weight. not because they played
any harder than Hoffman's eleven.
The boys may not be able to get q
team from the outside TO play against
them this year. but as most OF the
boys will be here next year, the high
school should have an exceptionally
fast team. There was a good crowd
present to see the game.

FISH CARS
FIRST VISIT
Nine Thousand Finger Length Trout
Brought From Government Fish,
cry in Bozeman.
HOW THEY ARE TRANSPORTED
A Car Especially Adapted for Thai
Purpose is Used and the Ut
most Care Must be Exercised.

A government fish car made Its
first appearance in Lewistown last
Thursday, bringing in at that time
about 5000 finger length trout for the
streams of Fergus county. About q
600 of the trout were Of the rainbow
variety and the rest we're brook trout.
As soon as they arrived here w. G.
Runzler and Oswald Lehman. who
We're largely instrumental in having
the a make a trip to this city, trans
ferred the trout from tank to barrels,
in which they were hauled to conven-
lent holes in Spring, Cottonwood and
Mcdonald creeks and liberated. after
having been penned up in their artl.
fetal homes for about AZ hours.
The a which came to Lewistown
is one of only four of its kind in ex.
istence. The territory which 1t covers
extends from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific along the northern border of the
United States. II has a free pass over
any road in the United States and an.
nually travels hundreds of thousands
OF miles and delivers fish to hundreds
of streams in about a dozen different
states. The a is built especially for
the purpose for which ii is used, and
carries a complement of three men
with A. j. Stiles in charge. Around
the sides of the car aie a number OF
water tanks. As trout will not thrive
in anything but cold water these
tanks are arranged so that ice may
be packed around them. Running
around the tanks is an air pipe, to
which is attached a small rubber tube
for each tank. The large amount of
fresh air which the fish require is
furnished from an air compressor,
which is kept going by a small steam
pump.
The car left Bozeman, where the
government fishery in this state is To-
Gated. Tuesday night and arrived here
Wednesday night. The car attend.
ants were worm out from loss of sleep
when they got into Lewistown, as the
fish required constant attention from
the time they were placed in the
tanks until they were transferred to
the barrels in this city.
Another consignment of from TO-.
600 to $1,000 is expected to arrive in
this city within the mex ten days,
and now, since the railroad is complet'
ed and IL costs absolutely nothing to
secure the fish, il is the intention of
those interested in the sport of fish.
ing. to get the streams of this county
thoroughly restocked.
