Notes.

| desire to call the attention of
those interested In improved methods
for the religious education of the
young TO a new course of study for
beginners to be commenced soon in
our Sunday school under the instruc-
ton OF Mrs. Pfaus and Miss Lucy
Stephens. The little folks will have
a room to themselves and will be fur
nished with a new order of supplies.
This course is intended for children
from about four to six years, or for
those receiving the first two years of
Bible instruction. The following will
indicate the scope of the instruction:
The International Sunday School
convention held at Denver last sum
mer authorized its Lesson Committee
TO prepare a two-yedr beginners
course for optional use in the primary
grades of Sunday schools in place of
the one-year course which had been
published by the preceding commit
tee. In compliance. DIR. A. F. Schau-
filler, as the secretary of the commit
tee. has just made public the outline
Of such a course. All historical and
chronological considerations are set
aside in arranging the order of the
series. Topics are taken up and de.
veloped In an order which is believ-
ed to agree with the natural develop
ment of moral ideas in the minds of
small children. and under each of
these topics there are grouped from
two to five lessons. The curse is in
tended to begin with September. and
when SO used the ordinary Christian
holidays like Thanksgiving, Christ.

Gliding with appropriate lessons. The
general themes for the two years run
as follows: God the Creator, home
life, Gods loving care, thankfulness
and giving (Which includes Gods gift
of his SOM, the boy Jesus, the man
Jesus, resurrection. reverence. obedi'
ence. repentance, prayer. kindness,
happy home life, unselfishness, Gods

lulness, se~lf-control. prayer forgive
ness and love. The golden texts. DIR.

from the Revised Version, except In
one or two cases where the AuthoriZ-
ed Version was simpler, but the mean

Charged With Grand Larceny.

Acting upon an information filed in
the district court by the county at
torney, Under Sheriff Ed. Martin, ar
rested Jud. Magallon, OF Gilt Edge,
last Wednesday evening. The infor
nation filed by the county attorney
charges Magallon with the crime OF
grand larceny, the particular infrac.
tion OF the law being the butchering
of a calf belonging to Eugene Still
man, a neighbor. Magallon was tried
and acquitted on the same charge
some weeks ago in Justice McFar'
lands court in this city, but the ac'
ton of the county attorney will place
the matter in the hands of the dis
trict court. and the case will probably
be placed last on the criminal calen
dar of the approaching jury term OF
the court.

CAMP NO. | IS
IN LEWISTOWN
One Grading Camp Arrived Yesterday
and Is at Work Today Within
the City Limits.
AWARD PAID TO COURT CLERK
Train Could be Seen From Top Of the
Hill, a Mile From lewistown,
Monday Evening.

After many promises a camp of rail
road graders ic actually at work with
in the city limits of Lewistown ana
the people do not now have TO go ont
of town to realize that work on the
railroad extension is actually in pro-
Eress.
The dates set for Lewistown having
railroad connections have been the
first and fifteenth of every month
since January last-now 1t is October
18th or November lst-but whether
the trains ever get this far or not, the
grading crews are here anyway.
McShane crew No. /, of about sixty
men, forty teams and two machines
arrived yesterday and are in camp
near the city limits at the head of
Morase and Pine streets. Their move
was from Beaver creek. where work
has now been completed and Is ready
for the track layers.
Sunday evening work ceased at the
bridge over what is known as Colum-
bus coulee. where the Riley Freder-
icks crew has been at work for near
ly two months.
Monday night the track was laid
through the Beaver creek pass and
the engine could be plainly seen from
the summit of the hill between Lew
istown and the head of Wolverine.
The engine will not be seen from
Lewistuwn until il is almost within
the city limits.
Nine miles of track remain to be
laid: there is considerable grading to
be done from Cottonwood creek to
the head of Wolverine and all within
the city limits was quite untouched
until today.
The award Of the appraisers upon
damages claimed by Stafford, Day
Lehman and May. was paid into the
court by the railroad company some
time since. but the finding has beer
appealed and will come up for hear
ing before Judge Cheadle October Il
All parties to the controversy appear
pleased that they are to have anoth
er opportunity to offer proof.
Last week We stated that passen
ger and freight service to Moore
would probably be commenced Mon
day-last Monday: 1t was not and
we are without information as to
when II will be.

Dr.. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic.

There Is not a woman in this land

have been the better Ior the use of
this Tonic. For diseases peculiar To
women a better medicine was never
made. 1t is composed OF the ingred'
tents from which the system has been
deprived by disease, over work or dis
sipation. II enters at once into the
circulation, building up the tissues
that have wasted, and making pure

weak, nervous and unsteady people,
pimply, pale or fleshless people, 1t will
make strong, steady nerves and give
the complexion that wholesome look
that indicates health. We have hun

DR.. WILSON BLAMED.
But Says He Was Not Notified Of the
Typhoid Epidemic,

But Says He Was Not Notified Of the
Typhoid Epidemic.
In an article referring to the recent
epidemic OF typhoid fever at Judith.
In this county, the Helena Record, of
September oath. makes the following
statement:
DIR. futile, secretary of the state
board of health, is authority for the
statement that the severity of the
present epidemic In the Judith coun-
try was due to the negligence Of DR..
II. ii. Wilson, of Lewistown. the
health officer for Fergus county. DR..
Wilson was ordered to investigate
and report and instead OF making a
personal investigation ne inquired OF
a ranchman from that section of the
country IL he had heard anything OF
typhoid fever existing there. The mar
replied that he had not, and DR.. viii.
son. 1t is said. made no further inquir'
les"
When shown the above statement
DR.. Wilson most emphatically denied
ever having received any official not
ification from DR.. futile, or any ono
else. that typhoid fever was epidemic
at Judith. DIR. Wilson said to the Ar
gus reporter that DIR. r. p. X. Gordon
of Great Falls, was called to atteni
the sick persons at Judith. but did
not notify him of the existence of rft
epidemic. in fact DIR. Gordon did not
communicate with the county health
officer at all, but made his report Ia
the state health officer. DR.. Wilson
further said that he had received a
letter from DIR. Tutf1e stating that he
had heard that there were several
cases of typhoid fever at Judith, bu'
did not name the ource OF his lnfor
nation.
No notification ever reached DR.
Wilson from Judith that the fever was
prevalent there. The only notifica
tion | ever received was in the form
of a rumor." said the doctor, "and
coming in that way, | did not feel jus
tilted in going to Judith to investigate
until | was notified in the regular
way. The state law requires tina
the doctor first called in shall motif,
the local health officer In such cases
and this DR.. Gordon failed to do. sc
that the fault is not with me, but
with the physician who first assumed
charge of the cases at Judith"

excelled.
To that object the commission wish.
es to get small sheaf samples of every
variety OF hay, clover, alfalfa and
grasses OF all kinds used as hay, also
samples OF grain In the sheaf, of ev-
cry kind OF grain In each locality. In
addition the commission desires to
get samples of the threshed grain or
seed to accompany each OF the above
named samples If possible.
In collecting the sheaf sample the
following points should be noticed:
First. get separate samples for diff
ferent cuttings, as alfalfa and clov-
er; also separate from dry and from
irrigated land. Second, cut the sam
Pile before the plant gets fully ripe
and dry 1t perfectly without weather
ing. Get perfect samples. Third. cut
the sample close to the ground, so
as to show the full height of the
plants, and select clean, bright
straw. Fourth, the sample should be
about a double hand full under ordi-
nary conditions, tied up carefully. Do
not crush the head Of the sample,
Fifth, tie a tag to the sheaf, giving
the name and address of the party
on whose land the sample grew, the
kind and variety of grain, grass OF
hay; when sown, when cut; yield per
acre in bushels or tons; area of the
field; weight of a bushel of grain OF
seed; state whether irrigated or not
Make the tag in duplicate. Put the
duplicate tag in the small sack OF
grain corresponding.
The grain sample should be put In
a small strong cotton sack. Note the
following: Two quarts of each vari
ETY. of grain or one quart of seed
should be a sample. Send plump seed

to receive samples OF tame +,
to receive samples of tame fax. good
samples of corn. or such samples OF
roots or other products as can be
kept good until next spring. The
question of cold storage will be look
ed into. Photographs illustrating ag
ricultural scenes of all kinds would
be very valuable and much appreciat
ed.
Mr.. George w. Cook, Of the cash
store. has kindly consented to receive
all samples of this section and keeI
them until arrangements are made fol

Mary had a little lamb,
But in a year or two
He grew to be a great big ram,
AS lambies often do.
He followed Mary everywhere,
But came to grease at last;
Because without one warning her,
He followed her too fast.
Mary landed in a heap
And realized just then,
That the place for such a sheep
Was in the slaughter pen.
The merry-goround went merrily
round
With Mary cheerily riding;
Then Mary's head commenced to

Drearily Mary Gliding.
Faster the merry-went-around,
With music gaily sounding;
And Mary gazed on the spinning

Most YEARLY propounding.

When the wheels quite astounding,

LITTLE HOPE OF TREATY.
Says Baron Won Sternburg in Interview
In Germany.

A cablegram from Berlin last night says:
The Chemnitz correspondent of the North
German Gazette has had an interview with
Baron Won Sternburg, German ambassador
at Washington, regarding German-Ameri-
can trade and tariff matters.
Answering a question as to whether there
is any prospect of moderating the alleged
rigorous treatment of German goods by the
United States customs authorities the am
bassador Is represented saying that the
position of American manufacturers and
their financial hackers is such that seldom
can anything be accomplished by the mere
lodging of complaints, and further that the
manufacturers have a powerful support in
the United States Senate.
The ambassador. according to the inter-
view, said he saw no indication of the
adoption of specific instead of ad valorem
duties of which the German exporters COM
plain.
II came to Germany" said Baron Won
Sternburg, precisely for a discussion of
this question. / can assure you that Pres
ident Roosevelt and his cabinet attach
of the United States and Germany"
And whether a prospect exists for the
making of commercial treaty with the
United States, the ambassador Is reported
as saying lat present such a treaty is not
to be thought of. The Americans are fully
aware of the advantages Of their position.
and influential manufacturers would not
willingly surrender them
