was to have taken place earlier in the

Montana some years ago and was for
some time connected with the Forsyth

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ROSEBUD COUNTY

have been in absolute power, holding
every Office from the highest to the low
est, and not word of objection has
been raised by anybody against any
thing they have undertaken. to do.
Yet, so far as anybody knows, the
town government has never raised a
finger toward providing a drop OF
water for fire protection or for any
other purpose.
AS to all the other points enumerat-
ed by the Times in favor of incorpora-
ton, the people of Bigtimber have been
equally disappointed. The streets,
sidewalks and alleys of Bigtimber are
today in worse condition than they
were when the town was incorpora ted
and there is no prospect whatever of
any material improvement.
We notice also that the Times makes
a strong point on account of law, order
and police projections; but this is one
of the special benefits of incorpor alton
that has not overtaken Bigtimber yet
For obvious reasons the Leader hesi-
tates to describe the shameful condi-
tons that actually exist in Bigtimber
under the "protection" of the present
town officers; but the fact is undisput-
ed that never during the past eight
years has there been less respect for
law and order than there is right at
the present time. Never have the VIC
lations of the law been so persistent,
50 open and so glaring as they are
right at the present time.
The people, and even the horses and
cows, of Bigtimber will surely crack a
broad smile when they read that the
editor of the Forsyth Times has been
bamboozled into the belief that a town
government can be run on 81, $50 a
year. BY levylng an exhorbitant
property tax, by collecting licenses
from every business enterprise, by
levying unlawful tribute on gamblers
and prostitutes, and by various other
means. both lawful and unlawful,
something like SIS, 800 has already been
wrung out of the people of Bigtimber
TO meet the needs of the town govern
ment. Of the amount actually ex-
pended by the town government up tC
the present time, the warrants show
that nearly 90 per cent has been divid-
ed among half dozen officials and
the town printer. During the past
seven months 1914 has been paid ou
for three or four excellent street lights
and these lights are absolutely the
only improvement that has come to tn,
people Of Bigtimber thru the agency o
their expensive town government. =

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER
John Greenleaf Whittier was born
in farm house, on the 18th day of
December. in the year 1907. When he
was boy there were few books and
he would walk long way to get one.
He liked to write but his father would
not let him. His father said there was
no money in writing. Once his sister
found one of his poems and sent it to
paper. He was very much surprised
when the boy brought the paper home
with the poem in it. One day he went
to the city and there were so many
people he thought he would go :nto an
alley and wait for them to pass by.
He worked in a shoe shop and when
he had earned enough money to buy
himself suit of clothes, he quit work
and went to school.

ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI.

St. Louis, March 31.-By the breaking of the Montain creek levee near Merrf- mac, H., 20 miles south of St Louis, $50 acres of land are under water. In southeast Missouri flood conditions of serious proportions prevail Little river. which ordinarily is a small stream, is now raging torrent and continuing to rise rapidly. Many families have been forced to leave their homes. Streams of southwest Missouri are higher than for 15 years.
 Indianapolis. March 31-Heavy rains have increased the flood danger in southwestern Indiana. Hundreds of refugees are living in school houses and barns. Live stock is quartered in hay lofts, and railroad traffic is at a standstill.
 Havana, H., March 31.-By the breaking of the levee here today more than 12,OOO acres of the richest farm ing land have been flooded to depth of several feet. The loss Is estimated at s7O.OOO.

OVER SHOSHONE FALLS
Three Persons Plunged More Than
 200 Feet to Death.

Boise, Ida, March 31.-Three persons plunged 210 feet to their death over Shoshone Falls of Snake river about 9 o'clock last night. They were Miss Marie Willis, Samuel Graham and a man whose name is unknown
 Miss Willis for some time has run the ferry boat at this perilous place. Last night she took the boat across in response to a call. On her return she found that the guide rope was not working propertly and put back Gra- ham and the other man, seeing from the opposite side that there was trou- ble, took a hotel skiff and crossed to the ferry boat. They took Miss Willis off and started back to the bank. As the boat neared the shore it filled and went down, all three being lost. No trace of the bodies have been found to- day. iEtn nsImT
 Splinters of a boat were found in the river below the falls and it is supposed the bodies were carried over the cata-. ract.

Darker Reports From Southern In.

Evansville. Ind, March 31.-Hazle- ton fill: on the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad, was washed away to- day, closing traffic between Evansville and Vincennes. Hazleton fill was con- structed at a cost of S6OO.OOO. and after many years work. It was at this point ten years ago that during a. similar flood an entire passenger train on the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad disappeared in the quicksand which is ct the bottom of the fill, and nothing but piece of one coach was ever found. It was never known how many were killed, as no bodies of the train crew or passengers were ever recov- cred.

returned to Florence, and we are only just recuperating from the exertion.
 Speaking of the ball game, we were rather surprised at the result of tn ? game, as the Florence boys hardly eX- pected to come so close to winning the game, and with more practice and a team of full strength the Phoenix bunch might possibly finish behind first. The amount of hot air that has been allowed to circulate respecting the qualities of the Phoenix team is simply wonderful, when one has seen the game they put up, and if it was not for the little ginger put in the team by "Punchinello," their funny catcher, they would surely be a slow lot. The ground at East Lake park is a very bad one, and the three inches of dust on the surface makes it impossible for a strange fielder to judge the ball. It is hoped that at a near date we may see 2. return match between the teams on some other ground, and then things may be different.
 The motion for an injunction against the Phoenix and Eastern railroad, brought by the Arizona and Eastern railroad. respecting the rights of way claimed by the P. and E. railroad, was heard yesterday and a decision was given disallowing the motion. As it is, both companies are going ahead with their work in the same neighborhood, and what the next clash will be it is hard to foretell.

citation relating to the rights of settlers upon school land.
 While I do not question the board s motive in making said ruling 1t ap- pears to me that they have exceeded worthy of a more definite fate. Set tiers upon school land are either en- titled to all the rights and privileges of any other member of the associa- ton or they are not members of the association at all.> If said settlers have no voice in the affairs of the association. every acre of school land is illegally subscribed upon the books of the association and every dollar paid by the aforesaid settlers to the association should be returned. If, upon the other hand, should it be de- cided by the secretary of the interior that these settlers have rights in the association then the coming election will be illegal. These settlers were asked to subscribe their land and done so in good faith. They were only ask ed fer their lease upon the land and the 10 cents per acre. Their rights of franchise as American citizens was not questioned. And the mere fact that they lease land from the territory should not in itself be such a heinious crime that they should lose their right of suffrage. This ruling affects a large number of citizens as we'll as a vast property interest.
 Yours very truly,
 T. P. COUGHLIN.

THE TEST TAX SUIT
Papers Filed Yesterday in the Bart-
 lett.Heard Case.

The test suit of County Treasurer Walker against the Bartlett-Heard company for the collection of back taxes, which the Republican announced a couple of days ago, was filed in the district court yesterday. This action is for the collection of taxes on nine tracts of land which accrued before the property came in the hands of the de- fendant. The assessments on which the taxes were levied were made before the property had been proved up. That is the possessors of the lands had not yet obtained their final receipts. All claims of this kind by the county have been objected to on the ground that at the time of the assessment the prop erty was government land. and was not therefore subject to taxation by the county and territory. In the complaint nothing is said about this, but the de- fense will bring that fact to the atten- tion of the court.
 The whole amount sued for Is s126.OS. A small part of that is made up of taxes on personal property, and there Is one item of taxes for improvements. But those items were so mixed up with the taxes on the land that they could not be paid separately, or. rather, they could not have been accepted by the collector separately. The whole amount of the back taxes is in the neighbor- hood of $20.OO0, and the greater part of it consists of claims similar to the one for. the collection of which suit has been brought. The taxes on the nine tracts of land accrued from 1888 to 1891, final proof probably having been made in the latter year. It is no violation of confidence to state that the county does not expect to win this case.
 Suit was brought by the Phoenix Ma Company, Amalgamated, for the collec- tion. of an overdraft of $14,00744, which has grown up since July IS, 1903. The sum sued for includes the interest on the overdraft.
 A suit was filed by Tom L. Mercer against G. w. Mognett and Walter Harrington for the collection of a note for $2,000, given a year ago. The note was secured by chattel mortgage on lot of cattle and horses on the old Mercer ranch. No interest and no part of the principal has been paid.
 There was filed an appeal from the justices court of the case of Edwards & Austin against Mary Ann McFalI and B. F. McFall, in which suit had been brought for commission on the sale of ranch. The plaintiffs were given judgment in the justices court for part of the commission sued for.

FIGHT OVER DTgPE1gs--RY.
The Town of Elba Insists on Collect.
 ing a License.

Elba, Jan. 7.-tSpecial) )-When the new dispensary. operating under the special dispensary law for this county. passed by the last Legislature, opened Tuesday, there was quite an interesting contest sprung between the town government and the management of the new dispensary over the question of whether the town had tight to impose license on the dispensary.
 The last Legislature passed a law for this county repeating the law under which the old dispensary was run, and enacted a new law for the establishment Of a dispensary. half of the proceeds of which was to so to the public schools of the county and half to the ElbR school district, the law to become effective Jan uary 1st. Some weeks ago the Town Council adopted an ordinance fixing a license on retailing whiskey within the incorporate limits of the town and im- posing penalty for selling 1t without license.
 Tuesday morning when the dispensary was opened, the dispenser was arrested by the town marshal. but before he could be tried a writ of habeas corpus was served on the marshal. The habeas cor pus hearing was had before the Judge of the County Court yesterday afternoon and the dispenser was discharged. Hs immediately opened the dispensary and began to sell whiskey again. when he was again arrested and tried in Mayors court and fined s100 before writ of ha- was later set aside. and it was agreed by both parties that the matter should go to the higher courts ands the consti- tutionality of the law tested. In the meantime the dispensary will run until the courts settle the question.

MAKE PEACE WITH
 YOUR STOMACH. You are Certain to Lose if You At- tempt the Use Force and
 Violence.

You cannot force your stomach to do work that it is unable and unwilling to do, It has been tried time and again with always the same result. The stomach IS good and faithful servant; but when pushed beyond the limit 1t rebels. Some stomachs will stand much more abuse than others, but every stomach has it's limit; and when that limit is reached it Is a very dangerous and unwise proceeding to attempt to force 1t into doing further work. The sensible and reasonable course Is to employ a substitute to carry on the work of digestion and give the stomach an opportunity to recuperate and regain it's lost strength.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the only perfect substitute to take up and carry on the work of tired worn-out stomachs. They are natural and easy fin their work and cause no disturbance in the digestive organs. They contain all of the essential clements that make up the gastric juice and other digestive fluids and will digest any food that strong. healthy stomach will. and do 1t in the same time and in the same way. They work independently of surrounding conditions and the fact that the stomach is weak or diseased does not influence them at all in their useful and effective work. They will digest food just as we'll in a glass jar or bottle as they will in a stomach. You can see that for yourself by putting one of them into jar with square meal and some water to enable 1t to work.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by thus re- lieving the stomach of it's work, enable that organ to rest and recuperate and re- gain it's health and strength. The process is perfectly natural and plain. Mature will heal 'he stomach just as she heals d wound or broken limb, if she is not in- terefered with and is permitted to do her work fin her own way. All interference is prevented by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cents a box and if you are afflicted with dyspepsia. one box will make you feel fifty times better. You win forget you have a stom- ach and rejoice in the forgetfuluess. No druggist would be so shortsighted as to try to get along without Stuart's Dvs- pepsia Tablets. for they are so popular and are So well known for the good they rave done and the happiness they have caused that any druggist caught without them would lose the confidence of his customers and be regarded as below the standard. His business would suffer as a result and his patrons would go to other stores and buy their other drugs there as
