A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tiled in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first Indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in Civ
ing it to children for it contains no
harmful substance. It is pleasant to
take-both adults and children like it.
Buy it and you will get the best. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.

MERGER CASE BEGUN.
Long Array Of Eminent Counsel in
Attendance.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-The SUI
preme court today began hearing argu-
ments in the case of the Northern
Securities company, James J. Hill, j.
Pierpont Morgan, Daniel S. Lamont
and others versus the United States,
coming to this court on the appeal
from the decision of the circuit court
for the district of Minnesota.
That decision was to the effect that
the purchase of the greater share OF
the stock of the two railroad compan-
les constituted a merger and was con-
trary to the Sherman antitrust law.
The case% involves the community Of in.
terest principle. The courtroom was
crowded.
Attorney General Knox was pres
ent with quite an array of assistants
from his Office, while the opposition
also was represented by a long list
of distinguished counsel, including
former Attorney General Griggs, John
G. Johnson of Philadelphia, G. w.
Bum and Charles B. Young.

"sandy Bottom"

The rugged life found among the
sun-kissed hills of Arkansas forms
the groundwork of a graphic story that
is depicted in SANDY Bottom" that
melo-drania of intense interest. This
play will be seen at the opera house
Friday evening, December 10, and, al
ways appeals forcibly to popular inter-
est of all classes. 1t is a romance
worthy OF Dumas and other famous
writer's. The story told in unfolding
the plot is a beautiful one, sweet, pa
thetic, natural-and it teaches a whole
some, moral lesson. Like those pat
riotic songs, America" and 'The Star
Spangled Banner" it never fails ito
touch the hearts and minds OF those
who see it portrayed with vivid, life
like action. Pathos and villainy are
happily blended with comedy, so that
laughter is mingled with tearsa and
thrills.

POWER FROM THE HUDSON.
How the River Is Lifted and Then

How the River Is Lifted and Then
Tumbled at Spiers Falls.
New York state has other water pow

years past the stately Hudson has also
been in harness, and it's energy ut Me-

twist the whole New York Central rail
road system around their little back
waters, so to speak. and presumably
they will be allowed to do this some
day. In the meantime their industrial
utility is enormous. and with proper
forestry it will not diminish yet awhile.
The latest conquest of Hudson river
power is at Spiers falls, at the foot Of
Mount McGregor, where General Grant
died, about sixty miles south Of the
point where the stream rises and forty
miles northward of Albany. At this
point the river has lately been damned
up by a stone wall over 1900 feet long.
100 feet high and containing 10000
cubic feet of masonry. Thus is the
good old river lifted fifty feet above its
former bed and then made to do a lofty
tumble of eighty feet back again, in the
course Of which it is to deliver over
10000 horse power for electrical trans
mission to Albany. Troy. Amsterdam.
Schenectady and any other place hold
ing out. its little tin cup for a share.
To show how electrical energy can
be transmogriied and whipped around
the stump it may be noted that the
electric motors doing most of the hard
work in the Spiers falls construction
get their current from the earlier plant
at Mechanicsville. nearly twenty-five
miles away to the south, so that If the

1t is really very curious. that Noah's

This replica was made ont Of a log Of
wood which was followed out. Two
pieces Of carved wood glued on to the

the ark in the bushes when the water

County Commissioner Jacobs, who
has been in the city attending the
boards. meeting, left this afternoon
for bks home on the Musselshell.
NV. A Vale, Clay jolly and Doctor
Lindsey organized themselves into a
party to take advantage of the su-
preme court decision, by which the
old game law was declared to be still
operative, and this morning left for
a hunt in the Snowy mountains. They
expect to be gone a week or SO and
anticipate no difficulty in getting all
the game they want, as deer are said
to be plentiful in that region.
Hearing of testimony in the matter
of the contested homestead entry OF
John Kuros in which G. c. Dominick
is ~endeavoring to have the entry set
aside, vas completed before Clerk OF
the Court Williams last Friday even
ing. Several witnesses were exam
ined on the part OF the contestant
and it was believed that the %contestee
would also introduce a number; in
stead, however, he contented himself
with his own testimony, much to the
surprise of the other side, who were
not prepared for the abrupt ending OF
the proceedings. All the testimony
has been sent to the land Office at
Bozeman, where the matter will be
d4cjaed.
NE0me Of the ranchers residing in the
.B}de creek section are complaining
because of depredations by a
gang of petty thieves operating in
that n~eighborhood. A man appeared
in the city yesterday and complained
to Judge Mann that some one had
entered j. r. Conway's chicken house
and stolen As chickens, some quite
valuable specimens, and also a couple
of sacks of oats. The man had been
left in charge Of the place and at his
instance a search warrant was issued
and Under Sheriff Sayles made a
search of two houses where it was
believed the stolen property was con-
cealed. Nothing was found, notwith-
standing which the knowing ones say
the officer was on the right trail.

of fruit for market requires iUd"m"nt

in that direction. One Of the most
important points is to have the fruit
