ONLY M|LLONA|RES ARE MENTIONED

New York, March 1O.-James K.
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the
democratic national committee, has
been At the Fifth Avenue hotel for
a day or so. He attracted little OBJ
s%ervation. He is interested in the
round cotton bale trust, and it has
been necessary for him to confer with
his associates in the enterprise.
Today there were many democrats
at the hotel who said that Mr.. Jones
is to be succeeded as chairman of the
national democratic committee by
either Colonel James M. Guffel of
Pennsylvania. Frederick G. Newlands,
the newly elected United States SEN
ator from Nevada, or Senator William
A. Clark of Montana. 1t was maintain
ed with singular candor that all three
are millionaires many times over and
that it was demonstrated In the ma
tional campaigns of 1896 and 1900
that the democrats could not live III

C%oincident with Mr.. Jones' presence
at the Fifth Avenue hotel came dis
patches from Washington announcing
the election of Senator Arthur Pue
German of Maryland to be leader of

Billings.

Look we'll to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee OF flu

proof that relief and cure is near at
hand.

after getting them at a drug store

stopped an attack of backache, one
similar to many predecessors which
had annoyed me during four or five
years. When the remedy disposed of
backache of such long standing as
mine l know it can be depended upon
to absolutely cure any ordinary case.
Since then l have been engaged at
mining in Park county and while
there l met a man who was suffering
severely from kidney complaint.

Montana Is Too Cold for Berseem
Grass,

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Although berseem, the Egyptian
forage plant, is but little known in
this country, considerably has been
written about it in various agricultur-
al papers. Among those under whose
notice some of the articles have come
is T. j. Bouton of this city. He read
his first account of the plant some
months ago and Immediately wrote to
the secretary of agriculture making
Inquiries concerning it and it's adapt
ability to the arid regions of the north
west. The reply he received was not
very encouraging so far as relates to
the introduction of berseem in Mon
tana. He was informed that while
all that had been said and printed
concerning it was true, the plant was
not like alfalfa, in that it could not
be successfully raised in all ATTITUDES.
Mr.. Bouton was informed that Der
seem could not be profitably raised
this far north, being essentially a
warm climate plant, hence it's intro
duction in the United States would
v become general. 1t was said
in the letter that no doubt existed as
to it's adaptability to the arid lands
Of the south, where water could be
had in plenty, and that from all that
could be learned it seemed an ideal
plant for lower Colorado. portions of
Texas and California.
From this it will be seen that the

BAD RANGE CONDITIONS IN VAL

WORST IS NOT YET PAST
Henry Sieben Tells Sad Story Of
Starvation and coId-Systematic
Misrepresentation.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Notwithstanding the efforts Of some
to make it appear that the accounts
of heavy stock losses in eastern Mon
tana, particularly the northeastern
part, have been exaggerated, continu-
ed reports from that section fully cor
roborate all that has been said and
published in regard to the matter.
Henry Sieben, one of the oldest and
best known cattlemen of Valley coun-
ty, was at Chicago last Friday and he
was interviewed by a representative
of one of the stock papers and the
account he gave of conditions in his
part of the state were anything but
cheerful. He said that he was feeding
about 40 per cent of his stock and by
doing so calculated that he would re-
duce the mortality 25 per cent. Stock
generally in his county vas in poor
condition, he said. A year ago, he
said none of the stockmen was feed
ing, now all that could were doing so.
On the day he left for the east he
met his foreman, who told him that
cattle were dying after they had been
brought in where they could be fed.
On the same morning he had counted
IS dead animals.
1--WE had two months straight cold
weather." said Mr.. Sieben, with be-
low zero temperature and without a
single thaw. With the exception of
1893 it is the most severe winter
northwestern cattlemen have expert
enced since 1886. 1t is not the losses
we have already sustained, but the
possibilities before spring. Cattle are
now in bad shape to withstand con
tinued inclemency and if March and
April are stormy, losses will be appall-
ing in the lower country" Mr.. Sieben
said the railroad interests have sent
out highly colored winter reports
from the northwestern range, the pur-
pose being to induce immigration, re-

There were ordinations low but deep
from the occupants, but nevertheless
they skurried away and packed them
selves somewhere or other in various
parts of the train.

man was childIike and bland as he set

and unfolded a Sunday paper.

head in the window and said: Il sup
