Hears Of His Brother,s Death.

| FEARS OF HIS brothers. Death.
= W.. Mcfarland received news
paper clipping from Helena, mont. J
paper last week containing an account
OF the death of his only brother j. b.
Mcfarland, in that city on January
zotn at the age of seventy years. A
sister sent Mr.. Mcfarland the notice
OF the death of the brother. The arti-
Gle says: Mr.. Mcfarland was born
at North Ellsworth, but when young
man went to California in '49 by the
way OF Cape Horn. Shortly after he
Went TO Montana, where he resided un-
I'll the time of his death. Upon going
to Helena he entered the livery bust
ness and continued in that business
Till 1880, when he retired. He had
oeen sheriff several times, also deputy
United States marshal. Mr.. McFar-
land was one of the posse which CAP
tured Con Murphy, the famous out
law, IN 1854. The funeral was held in
Odd Fellows hall in Helena, and was
largely attended by pioneer settlers
from all over the state. Mr.. McFar-
LANDS wife died only two weeks pre-
vious to his death.''
Geo. w. Mcfarland states that when
he was in Helena in 1888 to visit his
brother he heard him relate his expe-
rlence in Capturing the outlaw, Con
Murphy. Several parties had tried to
capture the daring man, but after a
lew members of the party had been
shot the attempt to capture the man
would be given up. Sheriff McFar-
land started on his trail unbeknown
TO any one and soon was close to the
outlaw, crossing the Missouri river on
MS morse seven times to keep up with
MIN. Murphy did not suspect that the
stranger was the sheriff, as Mcfarland
was rugged out like prospector and
when he came up to Murphy he chum-
med with him and they camped to-
gether three nights. One morning the
outlaw removed his belt and as soon
as he did so Mcfarland covered him
with two big guns. Murphy saw that
ne was trapped and went back to
Helena under cover of the sheriff $
guns. They were met on the way back
by party who started out to look for
Murphy and demand was at once
made on the sheriff for the man, but
ne refused, though was finally obliged
to let the man go and the mob soon
had Murphy hanging to tree in
Helena. The nervous strain on Me-
Farland incident to the capture of the
outlaw completely unnerved him and
ne resigned as sheriff, stating that no
amount OF money could hire him to
serve out his term.

A CURIOUS MARRIAGE
Disclosed in a Complaint in Divorce
 Suit.

A divorce suit disclosing an extra ordinary state of affairs was filed in the district court yesterday. The plaintiff is Sarah Shoot and the de- fendant AlVen G. Shoot, a prosperous farmer living eight miles northwest of the city, According to the complaint the parties were married by contract cn September 20, 1902, and co-habited until September 29, 1903, yet for period of only a little more than month of the eleven years did they live under the same roof or within less than eight miles of each other. and that period was from July IS, 1903 to September 29 of the same year. One child was born to them, but it is dead. A good many of the acquaintances of MT and Mrs. Smoot did not know that they were married.
 The contract was entered into at the suggestion of Mrs. SmoOt. She pre- pared she says, a memorandum of their intentions and both of them sign ed it. It was written on a small slip of paper and MT. Smoot tock it and said he would have it recorded. It was understood that for time at least they would live apart. It was not thought that the mother cf MT. Shoot would receive her daughter-in-law very cord , ially. For that and other reasons suggested by the defendant the wife continued to live in Phoenix and sup port herself by working in laundries and whatever she could find to do. She is al present employed in the Arizona laundry.
 After this peculiar relation had been maintained for ten years, the wife be- gan urging her husband to take her to his home. He was finally prevailed upon to do so and she remained there from July IS of last year to September 29. She says that about the latter date the husband returned from Phoe- nix and told her that he had seen a lawyer who told him that the contract which they had signed was not bind ing and that they had been living in adultery. Thereupon she left his house and returned to the city. That is the date the separation began according to the complaint.
 Mrs. Shoot says that her husband had always told her that he had had the contract recorded. Her attorney, Thomas J. Prescott could find no such record in the Cffice of the county re- corder and he went to Neri Osborn,
 
 the signing of the contract. MT. Os- bon said he remembered that MT. Smoot had brought such a document into the office and offered it for rec ord, but on account of the extreme in formality of it, it could not be re- ceived.
 Mrs. Shoot says that the visits of her husband to her were made about once a week and generally in the night time. She says that he did not attend the funeral of their babe. He never introduced her to anybody as his wife and when she went to live at the Shoot ranch her husband did not tell his mother of their Belation.
 The plaintiff says that throughout her married life she has received no assistance from her husband. She asks for a legal separation and for such ether relief as the court can give.

Brain and brawn are everywhere in

Brain and brawn are everywhere in evidence.
 Thursdays sessicn was marked by battle royal of the giants followed by snow storm of great magnitude. Drs Buckly and Nicely met on the question of adoption of the report of sub committee. For the first time in many moons the great editor of Methodism's g greatest paper found himself so se- verely in the minority that he felt lonesome. They are both young. old men and towers of strength.
 COMMITTEE WORK.
 The great committees, the sessions of which are quite as interesting as the deliberations of the main body, are hard at work. The one on diciplnary questions is struggling with amuse- ments, probationary term and report of benevolenCes.
 The committee on episcopacy is button holed .on every corner. How many bishops shall be elected? No one yet has any idea. The sentiment is growing. however that at least six will be necessary and possibly nine. More than one caucus has already been held by the delegates from the ! Pacific coast. The two candidates for episcopal hoDors are the brilliant Rev. Mcintyre and Dr. Bovard. hTe lat ter is a skilled politician and has his fences well up and securely braced-' but the belief is growing that the author of "Buttoned up People, has not been overlooked by all of the $50 members of the great body. Ballotins for bishops will probably begin early in the week.
 The heresy hunter is out in the open with his anticipated weapon and he is looking for big game. There are those in the great church. however, who still believe that the teaching of the old Book is yet safe-even though the most profound learning and the whitest light of most recent investi- Gation is brought to it.
 THE ENGINEERS.
 About 600 delegates to the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers are in the city, many of them accompanied by their wives and neighbors. It is a splendid body of trustworthy men. They constitute one of the most con- servative of the great labor organiza- tions. They will be here for the rest of the month, and unless all appear ances are deceitful. they are having a good time.
 The weather is cool with continued fog prevailing from day to day.

dark of the moon. This includes, of course, potatoes, turnips, onions, beets, radishes. parsnips and other vegetables of that class. Crops which are intend ed to go to tops. such as cabbages, peas. beans, corn, etc, should on the other hand be planted in the light of the moon in order to obtain the desired re- suits.
 Another superstition in regard to the growth of fruit, which is not so gen. orally known, was told recently by an old Swiss farmer, who has. been re- markably successful as a fruit raiser in Southern Kansas His statement is that if the fruit blooms while the moon is young it will not be nearly so liable to damage by frost as if it blooms n the later phases of the moon. It is not, of course absolutely immune from damage, but it will take much heav fer frost to hurt it, according to his theory. The fruit bloomed at the pro- per time this year, and he therefore claims that the light frost which came after that time did little damage, and that the fruit crop will be good this year. He claims to have observed it's operations for thirty years, and that it has never failed.
 The same farmer is responsible for two other remarkable statements in re- gard to the moons influence, which seem to be additions to the rural folk lore of this country One of them is that if a board is laid upon the grass in the dark of the moon the grass un- der it will not be killed, while if the board is laid down during the light of the moon it will be destructive to the grass beneath it. The man who told of the belief insists that an experiment will demonstrate the truth of his con tentions.
 Another one along much the same line has to do with the preservation of shingles upon a roof. It is alleged that if they are placed there in the light of the moon they will remain fiat but if put there while the moon is dark they are likely to cup. The people who do believe in these things are very strong in their beliefs, and will resent the attitude of critics who try to decry them. They do not pretend to explain how the alleged results are produced, but point to the case of the moon and the tides, where a relation is admitted to exist, but full explanation of which is yet to come.

HAVE FAITH IN SIGNS.
Many People Still Cling to Old Weath.
 CT Suoerstitions.

Notwithstanding the assurance of Willis l.. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, to the contrary. there are still lots of old fashioned peo- pie in the country who will continue to believe in the weather predictions which are based on signs And closely akin to these are the beliefs in regard 10 the influence of the moon on growing vegetation and other things.
 The old superstition so generally ob- served by makers of garden, of plant ing potatoes in the dark of the moon, is well known. The theory in general is that crops which are desired to go downward, and make especial growth in the roots. should be planted in the

UNDERTAKER PACKED IT ON.
Made Sure the Lamented Stubbs' Wig
 Would Not Get Away.

Maybe you've heard it. The story goes that MT. Stubbs wore a wig which fitted him so i'll that it was always either coming off or getting awry.
 When MT. Stubbs died his wife eau toned the undertaken to be careful about the wig.
 q wouldn't for the world have it fall of before the coffin is opened at the church, said she.
 Just before the sorrowful cortege started for the church the widow sought out the undertaken and soh- bingly whispered to him:
 Are you sh-sh-sure you fixed the wig on s-s-so it won't come off?"
 "Oh, yes. ma'am," he answered sym pathetically. T tackled it>on.'

LETTER TO L. HOPE.
MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.

Dear Sir: "Three-quarter paint is a
good phrase for the best outside of
DeVoe.
Devoe is the standard; mark it 100,
The next-best-there are several not far
apart-are three-quarter paints: you may
mark them 70 to DEVICES 100.
The bulk Of the paints in market are
40 or 80 or GO; few are better than 90; a
few are worse than 40.
How do they act; They cover from
one to three-quarters as much as Devoe;
and they last from one to three-quarters
as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same rule
don't hold; it costs more TO put-on some
paints than they are worth; they are not
worth anything; the "put-on" costs two
or three times much as the paint.
Yours truly

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH,
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Hyomef Goes TO the Root of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use Of
pills, liquid medicines and so.caled
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live in
the air passages, and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs in the air passages, it enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys the
microbes in the blood and effectually
drives from the system all traces of
catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy
omei to cure catarrh is the fact that w.
II. Sheldon will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not cured
you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1,00 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for 80 cents.
