AN EVENT.

The ceremonies held last Saturday
in connection with the laying of the
corner stone of the new Methodist
Episcopal church were Of more than
usual interest. The address of Judge
Cheadle as well as the remarks of the
pastor. Rev. Winters. and Presiding
Elder Van Orsdel, were well received
by the large audience. the most OF
those composing it being compare
lively new corners to Lewistown and
the church which has obtained such
a substantial foothold in our midst.
A brief history of the local society
shows that 1t has had to contend with
many difficulties in the past in main
tanning pastors and building a place
OF worship. but with the true pioneer
spirit that has always characterized
the Methodist church, it has gone
ahead and with willing hearts and
hands accomplished what at times
seemed almost impossible. The his
tory of the growth of the church re-
called many incidents that had passed
from the memory OF some of those
present.
Judge Cheadle in his remarks paid
a splendid tribute TO Methodism and
the power it has been for good. not
only in Montana but everywhere. His
defense of churches generally, If II
can be said that they need any de.
Tense, was able and convincing. He
held that II the simple teachings OF
the Savior of Mankind were needed
much of the evil complained of in our
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1903-12-02
THE EXTRA SESSION.

The extra session of the legislature
called by Governor Toole met yester.
day and is now ready to transact bus
mess. II was called for a specific pur-
pose and there is no occasion for
wasting time. II every member will
simply do his duty under his oath and
be guided by the wishes of the whole
people his task will be an easy one
and he a return to his constituents
with a clear conscience. Every mem
Der should be free from the Amalga-
mated or Heinze collar and labor TO
secure a law or such laws that will
guarantee justice TO %litigants. not
alone in Silver Bow but in every coun-
ty in this state. not only in mining
litigation but in actions OF every kind.
Any attempt to defeat such a law or
laws should be taken for granted that
those opposing are actuated by selfish
or mercinary motives. Never mind
the hired lobbyists; do business; do
what is right; adjourn and go home.
Do that and you will please the peo.
pie of Montana, the only mes to
whom you should owe any allegiance.

gan doubtless thought his pet route
would surely have 10 be accepted,
hence his declared adherence to the
Spooner resolution. which stated in
substance that in case OF failure oil
the treaty with the Colombian govern
ment the United States should, after
a reasonable time. commence nego'
tlations with Nicaragua and Costa RI
ca for a right OF way through those
republics. Mr.. Morgan is simply sore
because the president did not act at
once, although he is complying strict
ly with the Interpretation of the res.
olution which gave him the discre'
ton as to what would be a reasonable
length of time. Mr.. Morgan is absurd
in his contention that the United
States should have interfered to pre-.
vent a peaceful revolution at Pana'
ma. Naturally, he makes the charge
against the president of collision
with Panama in the overthrow of Co
lombian authority although he sub
mits no proof for his statement.
Possibly it Is just as well for Mr..
Morgan to explode now while he is
greatly agrieved as further inyestiga.
ton and development will doubtless
show that the president has acted
fully within the law and that every
step taken was duly considered and
weighed. The Spooner act did not
call for immediate negotiations with
Nicaragua and had the president act.
ed hastily he would have been open
10 censure and criticism OF a stronger
character than that hurled at him by
Mr.. Morgan. He has recognized a
government fully empowered to act
and one vitality interested with the
United States in the digging of the
canal and there is no question but
the new treaty will soon be ratified.
There are a number of Democratic
senators who are not disposed to be
influenced by Senator Morgan or by
those who are taking the occasion for
making a little party capital.
The Colombian government now
sees it's mistake in posing as a high.
way robber and would willingly give
a free right of way across the 18th
mus to regain its lost territory.

national life would disappear. Greed
and selfshness he considered the
chief causes of discomfort.
The occasion was doubtless a hap.

the representatives of labor to visit
him in Washington. The delegation,
which was about evenly divided po-
litically. accepted the invitation and
have just returned to Butte highly
elated over the trip. Very naturally,
the presidents motives have been
challenged, but he would hardly fall
into the error of his critics in holding
the political convictions of his visit
ors so cheaply as to suppose that
their views could be changed by eX.
tending social courtesies. Such an in.
ference is far from tiattery to say the
least. Inasmuch as Senator Clark al.
so entertained the delegation the
whole matter will have but very little
political significance. Intelligent la.
boring men will vote with the party
which, in their opinion, has done the
most to bring about conditions which
gives them employment at good
wages.

LAND LAW

All Montana is interested. in common

policy authorized by the last con-
gress. The law provides that the
work of building irrigation works
shall be paid for out of the receipts

desirability of a law itself that there

duty Of ferreting out frauds. If there
are not enough of them, it would
rather be the part of wisdom to in.

no such showing against the law has

u Headache.

The sufferer from gun headache Is
now beginning TO endure its annual
pangs and may be grateful for being
reminded of a means by which they
may be diminished. II is no new thing
and has been in vogue in the navy and
with those who are brought into the
neighborhood Of big gun firing for
many years as a method Of lessenlng
the effect of the vibration. II Is to
hold n piece of india rubber between
the teeth at the moment Of firing. The
vibration and jar are received in some
measure by the contractible india rub
Der instead of being communicated
with unbroken force from the lower to
the upper jaw, and many people who
suffer from gun headache have found
that this simple device IL a great help
to them.-Country Life.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

A Efnh Story.

send you the following true story
- somewhat unique:
Louis Fl. Kaufman, ID. Mcmahon and
I were fishing for bass on Little Seba-
60 lake. One Of the party caught q
horned pout, or bullhead, and dressed
1t, taking out the meat Of the fish from
the neck joint back, leaving head, en-
trails and skin in one piece. I threw
II overheard In about ten feet of wa
ter. Some ten minutes later Mr.. Naut-
man felt something OH his hook, and,
pulling in. he found he had caught the
same part of the bullhead ! had thrown
overheard. The head had bitten the
worms the second time. This seems to
me to be II strange thing, but all three
will swear to the truth of this at any
time.
This of course means that the hook
was in the fish's mouth just the same
as in the first instance.-Maine Woods.

Just as we expected. our contempt
rary has already tried and convicted
Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska. who is
charged with accepting a bride for
procuring a federal appointment. The
senator says the charge Is the result
of malice and asks immediate trial
and the fullest investigation. 1t is an
axiom of law that everyone charged
with a crime is held to be innocent
until proven guilty. Our contemporary
should be generous enough to give
the senate benefit OF the doubt.

Grover Cleveland has finally given
up his ambition to again be president
of the United States. His positive
refusal to allow his name to be used
in that connection is taken to mean
