LONG SOMEWHAT BETTER.
Physicians Able to Hold Out Slight
Encouragement.

Encouragement.
Boston, Jan. 31-Some encourage
ment, more than at any time in the
last fOrty-eight hours, was given at
St Margaret's infirmary tonight after
the doctors had made their night visit
to former Governor John D. Long. The
bulletin from the bedside was as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Long had a comfortable day.
His condition is now little more IA
vOrable than at this time last night.
He has been less incoherent in his
speech and at times quite rational. He
is somewhat stronger"
During the day the figures for Mr..
Longs pulse, respiration and tempera-
ture were not given out, for the rea-
son that they do not necessarily indi-
cate the true condition of the patient,
the physicians say.
Mr.. Long was in the care of his
nurses from the early afternoon and
well along in the evening without a
formal visit of either Dr.. Cabot or DIT.
Cutler, although both were at his bed
side between 9 and 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Long has improved during the
day" said DR.. J. W. Spooner, his ply
stefan, and if he continues TO do so
for two or three days l believe he will
recover. Under the present conditions
if nothing turns up I expect Mr.. Long
to get along all right"

CROW RESERVATION TREATY.

For It's Passage.
Especial to The Herald.)

Especial 10 Inc Heraid-)
washington, Jan. S1.-The senate to-
day passed Senator Kearns' bill TO
make Salt Lake City a port Of de-
livery
Representative Glenn of Idaho is
apprehensive that he will be unable to
secure passage in the house of Du-
bois bill for reducing prices of lands
on the Fort Hall Indian reservation to
prices that will bring them into mar
ket. Speaker Henderson has mani
tested opposition to the bill and Glenn
has been unable to receive recognition
so that the bin may be brought before
the house for passage.
Senator Clark of Montana is work
ing earnestly to have his bill prOvid-
ing for opening the Crow reservation
passed in the house. Representative
Cannon is opposing the measure. con-
tending that the Indians should not be
paid for lands surrendered by them
until they are sold and paid for This
is in contravention of the treaty with
the Indians, which Senator Clark's bill
seeks to ratify. II is possible the
measure may be attached as an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill
in the senate, which will enable its
friends to secure a vote upon it in the
house.

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

II is not because Pyramid Pile cure
is so expensive that many peop:e de-
cline to give it trial, but because they
find it too great a tax on their creduli-
" to believe that the puohshed let
tiers bearing testimony to the merit OF
this remedy are genuine and bone tide;
especially to those who have realized
the suffering incident to piles is it in
credible that anyone who has been af-
nicted twenty-five and thirty years
with the worst forms of prOtruding and
bleeding piles should be cured by the
application of a simple remedy, when
their physician has assured them that
the only relief is in a surgical opera
ton.
This is rightfuny viewed with dread
by all those afflicted. as it means at
the least a great shock to the nervous
system. with more than possibility of
utter collapse and death, in the ma
jority OF cases, too. there is a return
OF the complaint, owing TO the fact that
the cause is not removed.
The proprietOrs of the Pyramid Pile
Cure agree to forfeit $1,000 TO anyone
Who will show a single published testi-
mcnial to be not genuine and unsolic
tied; this latter feature is most graft
fving. inasmuCh as these letters are
written solely out of gratitude. and with
the hope that those who are afflicted as

WHOLESALE PILFERING ON THE PART
OF EMPLOYEES OF THE BONANZA MINES

Baker City, Ore, Jan. 31.-Further
developments in the great ore thefts
demonstrate that there are more peo-
pie concerned than was at first sup
posed. The suggestion that there is an
organized gang at work is not borne
out by the investigation so far made
II is now well established that there
has been wholesale differing on the
part of the miners working in some or
the rich mines, but it is further dem
onstrated that il is almost impossible
to detect and apprehend the thieves.
With very few exceptions the ore has
been taken in small quantities and the
specimens sold in many instances to
innocent purchasers. The uniform price
of SO per pound seems to have pre-
vailed and the mine owners insist that
dealers in specimen ore have not al
ways been innocent purchasers, be-
cause they know the men from whom

On the grounds that it would not be
legal, the board OF county commission
ers yesterday refused to refund to the
city of Murray the unused portions of
licenses issued to merchants in that
city before Murray became an incor-
porated community. There is a possi-
bility Of the matter being taken into
the courts. The amounts involved are
small as compared with the principle
involved, as viewed by the petitioners.

Rockwell was appointed justice of the
peace and L. John Larsen constable of
