sage From Virginia City to
New York.

Mrs. Laura E Howey, librarian of
the State Historical society, of Mon
tana has received from G. E Reese
of Virginia City. one of the tickets
used in the early COS on the stage
lines of Montana. 1t is from Vir-
ginia City to New York, issued by the
Wells Fargo company, the fare at
that time being $50. The ticket is
composed of eight coupons.
The first is by stage, supposedly to
Salt Lake, there being left blank
space to be filed in. From there it
is over the Union Pacific railroad to
Omaha, by omnibus to Council Bluffs
and from there to Chicago over the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway
From Chicago the ticket is over
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago

THE WAR FOR THE UNION.
Nine-TenthS of Our People Know
but Little Of It's History.

Judge J. W. O'Neall, in his address,
Memorial Day at Lima, speaking of
the great Civil War, and how few
remember even its most prominent
events, said:
ITO few of us, and to a few only,
the war is reality; but to more than
81 per cent of the population of this
country, the war is simply a matter
of history. At an examination held
recently in New York state in a class
of 135, not one could name five of the
leading battles of the Civil War. At
a school examination held the other
day in Indiana, q teachers were
asked to name FIVE of the leading
generals on both sides. Only five
teachers were able to answer the
question. So it is not exaggeration
to say that the late war to the mass
es, is but memory"

CHAMPAIGN
REPUBLICANS
Give Roosevelt a Ring
ing Endorsement.
And Declare For Judge
WdrnOCk.
For a Third Term In Congress
For a Third Term In Congress

The Republicans of Champaign
county, in convention, last week,
gave President Roosevelt a strong
endorsement, and declared heartily
for Col. Warnock for a third term in
Congress, as follows:
''The magnificent achievements of
the administration of President
Roosevelt; his firm and courageous
stand in the interest of the people as
against the aggressions of unlawful
combinations of capital; his whole
some Americanism so manifest in
his conduct, official and otherwise;
his sturdy defense of the right under
all circumstances; his fearlessness in
the discharge of his duty; his insis.
tence upon cleanliness and honesty
in the conduct of public affairs; his
humanity that found expression in
his interference in the anthracite
coal strike, and many other magnif
cient traits of character and mind
have endeared him to the whole peo
pie, and have won for him a place In
the hearts of all Americans as a pa
triotic, faithful, and brave-heartet
executive, who sees only his duty Il
his people and performs it fearlessly
In common with these feelings and
sentiments we declare our unquali
fed approval of him as president ani
hope that our state convention viii
endorse him this year for nomination
in 1904.
We also take this opportunity t.
endorse for denomination for thirt
term in Congress our splendid rep
resentative and fellow-townsman
Col. William R Warnock. His recor,
in Congress while brief, has been en-
tirely creditable. His rank amonI
his colleagues is high;having attaine'
a place in Congress- few reach afte
longer service which gives promise o
useful service and an honorable rec
ord. We therefore commend him t
the district and urge upon the Re
lpublicans of the same the advantage
to the county and the party of re
taining Col. Warnock in the pos
which he has filed with such sigma
ability and dignity.

The Presidents
Popularity Abroad.

II is not strange that this frank,
STRAIGHTFORWARD American citizen, so
high-minded in his motives and SO
democratic in his sympathies, should
have won a great place in the conf
dence and affection of the American
people. He has also taken a mar
velous hold upon the Imagination
and the interests of the people of
Europe. A discerning resident of
Amsterdam informed this Office, the
other day, that, with the exception
of their own queen, Wilhelmina,
there was no persona ge now living in
whom the people of Holland took
nearlyso much interest as inPresident
Roosevelt. The people of France
read eagerly all his utterances. His
practical philosophy of life falls in
most usefully with the wholesome
point of view that the best political
and social elements in our great sis
ter republic are earnestly teaching
to the new generation of French
men. AS for Germany, it is not
merely the Emperor and Prince Hen
Nv, and the leaders of the army and
navy, who have expressed their lik-
ing for President Roosevelt and their
appreciation of his versatility; for
the German people as whole have
a remarkably warm feeling toward
him, which is shown in their news
papers and in many private as vel
as public ways. All parties and or
gans in England, of late, with hardly
any exceptions, have We'd with ont
another in expressions of friendii
ness toward the people of the United
States: and if one may judge by th'
overwhelming tone of the Englisl
press, President Roosevelt's popu
larity is greater in that country thai
that enjoyed by any contemporar,
head of a foreign country in recen
times. He seems, in short, to em
body, to Europeans, the best AM
most honorable American traits o
mind and character, to typify thos
qualities that belong to gentlemal
in a democratic republic like ours
and to represent the best intellectual

The disastrous floods in Iowa, Mis-

the past Eve days, have been uupre-

work of ruin and disaster.
Heavy rains fell, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. Four inches fell
in Central Kansas. The re.
suit was that all the rivers
and their tributaries have been
swoolen to an unprecedented height,
bridges have been swept away, rail-
road tracks washed away, towns
flooded, communication cut off, and
a thousand lives lost.
Topeka and Kansas City in Kansas,
and Des Moines, Iowa. have suffered
the greatest disaster.

BRAlN-FooD NONSENSE.

Anoihe- ridiculous food fad has been

They have dispelled the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain, another for
muscles, and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish particular
part OF the body. but IL will suit every other
part. Yet, however good your food may be,
its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their APP
pearance or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses OF Green's August Flower, the
