II Is Up to the Doctor.


A lady wrote us a few weeks ago
from Winchester, Va, that she had
been under a Doctors care for four
years for dyspepsia; the pain appear.
ed to center under her left shoulder
blade. and was so v at times
that she could neither eat nor sleep.
She had lost faith In her home doc
tor, and asked us to send her a sample
OF our DR.. Gums Improved Liver
pills. which had been recommended
to her. We sent her two pills, in a
few days she sent for a box. Now she
writes that the pain under her shout
der has left her entirely, she enjoys
ner meals and never sleeps less than
eight hours every night. and this has
all come about In two weeks, and
cost her so cents for two boxes Of
pills. Says the doctor charged her
$4,000 and that she told him he had
better take the $4,000 and invest ~
all in DR.. Gums Improved Liver Pills
and build up his practice. We have
not received the doctors order yet,
but anyone having dyspepsia, bilious
spells or sick headache a get a
speedy cure by the use OF these pills.
Sold by druggists for 25c per box, Ut

Two Good Ends and a Middle

The above are the requirements for
a first-class draught horse; they are
also the requirements for a first-class
range horse sale. First. II Is neces-
sary TO have a large supply OF good
horses. Second: Il is necessary to
have plenty OF good buyers from
every section of the country. In the
third place II Is equally necessary to
know how to conduct the sale. My
many sales during the past years
have proven that | have all OF these
requirements at every sale.
! have never yet advertised a sale
and failed TO have plenty of buyers
for all the horses that were there. |
have just completed a sale at Shert-
dan, Wyoming. at which prices for
horses were higher than they have
ever been at my former sales, and I
believe higher than anyone has ever
sold horses for on the range.
Conditions are most favorable for
the sale Of these horses In every sec
ton OF the country. Canada and all
the northwest country contains good
buyers for all horses suitable for their
trade. Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri
have abundant crops and farmers are
all anxious for horses 1T TO feed out
for spring trade. The demand In the
east for horses ready for service is
equally good, and the demand for
small horses in the south. where cot.
ton is selling for from ten to twelve
cents a pound. where in former years
II has sold for four and four and a
half, is unusually strong.
am confident that this sale at
Billings will be one OF the best sales
that | have ever made and that you
will not have a better opportunity to
sell your horses. Remember the date
and get your horses ready as soon as
possible.
For further information address
A. 3. CLARKE,
Billings, Mont
p. S.-If you a not have your
horses in this sale and still wish to
dispose OF them. write me.

an normous business from nothing,
beginning as a workman himself, de-
clares that the fruits of his nineteen
years earnest and successful efforts
have been snatched from him without
a fault of his own, in spite of every
effort to meet the demands of his en-
ployes within the bounds of what
seemed to him TO be justice.
Another effect of the closing of the

Complains Of the Union.
Just as 500 as the unions discov-
cred our yards full of work" said
Mr.. Morse yesterday. strikes began.
Walking delegates were as familiar
with the terms of our contracts as we,
and knew they could force US to &C.
cept many of their demands.
For instance, We found men loaf.
ing-even asleep-on the steamship
Syria about a year ago. and they
openly boosted that they had not lift
ed a hammer during the day, and
that their organization did not have
to work unless they SO desired. We
removed the foreman and got a trust.
full man to look after our interests.
A strike was ordered not only on that
ship but on all our works. We were
forced to give In, because millions
of capital we're at stake. We re,
placed the foreman and all the men
discharged from the Syria. II Is just
there we made our mistake.
