Not very long ago the dispatches

important work on hand was to break
up the Western Federation Of Miners.
They will attack the Federation
wherever possible. 1t is understood
that they expect help in this direc-

An exchange very aptly remarks
that a newspaper is the looking-glass
Of the town or community in which it
is published. 1t is in the newspaper
that you see yourself as others see
you. They smile at you; you frown
at them and are repaid in kind. They
are the reflex OF a town. II the town
is doing business the town will show
it in its advertising columns. II the
merchants are spiritless, shiftless
fellows, whose stores are jumbles OF
junk and jam, the paper will show it
by the lack of space they take. II
you want the world to know you have
a live town you can only let it be
known through the newspaper, and
in the same manner will the outside
world know it if you have a dead one.

A Washington dispatch of the 9th
says: Congressman c. D. Van Duzer
today introduced a bill for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /, thus making the sill
yer dollar full legal tender. Mr.. Van
Duzer, in a speech, said the silver
question is still a live issue. The in
creased gold production may have
given a larger circulation, but it has
not destroyed the necessity for silver

Or. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic,

There Is not a woman in this land
but at some time In ner life would
have been the better Tor the use Of
this Tonic. For diseases peculiar to
women a better medicine was never
made. It is composed of the ingred-
tents from which the system has been
deprived by disease, over work or dis.
sipation. It enters at once into the
circulation, building UP the tissues
that have wasted, and making pure
rich blood in the most direct way. For
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

ten u.s., saying they had gained In
good solid flesh at the rate of one
to three lbs. per week, while using

is only formed TO pay for this sur.
vey, which. If practicable, will be in.

pert.
The prime mover of this enterprise
is a prominent man In the western
part of the state who has written 10
a friend here as to what amount of
money can be secured in Miles City
for this purpose. stating that he had
been assured by a prominent engi.
neer that from Lewistown to the
Snowy mountains a grade can be Sc
cured that will not exceed 1 per cent
but that he was not informed as TO
the country east OF the Little Snowy
mountains. That while he was east
recently he had preached this ques.

who advised him to go ahead on the
work of making the preliminary sur.
vey, which, IL IL looked feasible, they
would send their expert out at once
to examine the survey aud IL his re.
port was favorable that they would
finance a company which would build
and equip the road.
The matter has been under advise.
ment for the past three weeks and
the money that will be needed for
this work has been guaranteed. and
the party who is promoting this move
ment will be in Miles City in the
course of a few days.
A road built from Lewistown and
Great Falls to Miles City will open
up a fine country which is largely oc.

stop at Miles City and II would not
be long before either the Chicago,

lines to this point, as they have both

As the money has been assured for

be In the field In the early spring.
