has Blanche Walsh for her portrayal
of Maslova, and no other actress in
America today is so much talked
about. Blanche Walsh is very young
woman, not yet 30 years of age, and
therefore, when some of her critics
refer to her as the American Duse.
they are merely anticipating the es-

her by the public of this country TO

The Boys.


Where are theyh-the friends OF my
childhood enchanted
The clear, laughing eyes looking
back In my own,
And the warm. chubby fingers my
palms have so wanted,
And when we raced over
Pink pastures OF clover.
And mocked the quails whirr and
the humble bees drone?
Have the breezes OF time blown their
blossomy faces
Forever adrift down the years that
are flown?
And never see them romp back TO
their places,
Where over the meadow,
In sunshine and shadow,
The meadow Jerks trill, and the
humble bees drone?
Where are they? All! dim In the dust
lies the clover.
The whippoorwll's call has a sor
rowful tone.
And the doye's-I have wept at Il
over and over
want the glad luster
OF youth. and the cluster
or faces asleep where the Dumbl,
bees drone!

consideration in the senate has not
been asked for but efforts are being
made to expedite its passage with
out amendment and with little dis
cussion. A number of Republicans,
who heretofore. have been opposed to
changing OF duty on coal said they
would not oppose the bill provided 1t
did not open up the whole tariff ques-
ton. There has been some general
talk today about an agreement to pass
such bill. without opening up the
tariff question and the Republican
leaders expect the house bill will be
passed promptly by the senate.

The situation mas reached an
acute stage and has resulted in great
suffering and hardships to the poor

sufficient to enable them to pay the
excessive prices now being charged
for fuel. and It is subjecting the gen.
eral public to great inconvenience.
To relieve the situation and alleviate
the suffering now being endured, ID

the production OF coal.
with this end in view, we are
prompted to address this communi-
cation to all members of our union
and request that they cooperate with
the management OF the mines In an
effort to Increase the production Of
coal.

worker shall exert himself and use
every means at his command to this

Upon reading this communication
In the columns Of the daily papers,

creased. These efforts should be
continued until the weather moder.

Helena, Mont. Jan. 12.-(Special

the introduction of some thirty bills
and the filing of contest papers from
Silver Bow, Rosebud and Broadwater
counties, little of consequence has
transpired.
Senate committees have been
named and those of lie house will be
announced Wednesday and possibly
tomorrow. Then each can get down
to businesses. AS usual, the senate is
far ahead of the house, in fact that
body is likely to bring several meas
ures to vote before the end of this
week.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

Ills LAST HOPE
From the Sentinel. Gebo, Mont.l
In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of
this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made the
big race one fine day in April. Dur
ing his travelling about and after
wards his camping upon his claim,
he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe
heat, gave him a severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible
to check, and along in June the case
became so bad be expected to die.
One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle OF
Chamberlain's Colo, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while he
was rolling about On the ground in
great agony, aud in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon no.
ticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep tor a
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and he can.
not help but feel grateful. The sea-
