WANT WOOL MARKET.
Merchants at Lewistown and Growers
in Vicinity Unite for Home Sales.

Merchants at Lewistown and Growers
i'm Vicinity Unite for Home Sales.
INThe merchants and wool growers
in thes vicinity of Lewistown are al
ready making an effort to establish a
wool exchange at that point to handle
the product Of Fergus county next
season and to accomplish their efforts
it is said that they have the backing
OF the Montana railway, operating be-
tween lombard and Lewistown.
Heretnf1re practically all the wool
of Fergus county has been shipped
to Billings and sold on the exchange
here, bilt the people of that locality
contend that the product should find
q market at home.
For their efforts the growers and
merchants of that section are to be
commended, but it is question if the
growers will help themselves by de-
serting the biggest market in the
state in order to create a sale at
home. During the past three years
Billings and Great Falls have handled
nearly all the wool grown i'm the state.
In these two towns buyers have con
from all the principal wool
centers of the east, thus giving the
grower the benefit of an active and
competitive market. In many in.
stances buyers have refused to in
spect wool ait other shipping points
along the line of railway, contending
that the larger market is conducive
to more satisfactory results to botn
buyer and selle4r.
Should Lewistown be able to estab.
lish satisfactory market at home it
will be largely due to the wishes OF
the firms who send their representa-
tives from Boston and other eastern
cities to Montana to buy the product.

After the game Pat Gully sang a

p'Nr' MIIeS Apples to Elks Lesson
Learned from Them.
When the Elks had their annual
social session they invited a number
of gentlemen who had not yet ex-
plored the mysteries of Elkdom.
Amcng those thus honored was the
Reverend Mr.. Miles, pastor of the
Congregational church. OF course,
neither he nor any of the other guests
was fined, but he evidently did not
overlook the ease with which money
was raised and the promptness with
which the member responded when
called upon to contribute, and made
a note of it for future application.
A special meeting of the lodge was
called for last Sunday morning for
the purpose of returning the compli-
ment the members considered Mr..
Miles had paid them when he accepted
their Invitation and they marched in
a body to his church. Like good Elks.
they went early and were seated en-
masse directly in front of the pulpit.
When Mr.. Miles entered he recognized
the unusual visitors and after the
opening hymn and prayer addressed
himself to them in brief manner.
He referred to the social session and
what he had learned there, and then
told them that they we're guilty OF
breaking into church and for that
would be fined so cents, each, all,
except George Benighoff, who would
be required to pay another half dol
lar for being an alderman. The plate
then made its customary circulation.
There was no appeal from the rul-
ing of the chair. Each o. the culprits
paid his fine.

FROM LICENSES.
YELLOWSTONE A TOP LINER
Well at Head as Among Counties
Paying the Strong
on Cigarettes.

A table has been prepared by the
state statistical bureau showing the
revenue derived by the different coun-
ties of the state from the collection
OF licenses during the year 1902. For
reasons that are not given the aggre-
gate was smaller than for the pre-
ceding year, about $4,000, in round
numbers
The money received was largely
from the dealers in liquors, and, Of
course, Silver Bow led all the other
counties, having paid 25.75 per cent
OF the total of the entire state. In
that county the aggregate of license
fees paid by the retail liquor dealers
was $120,410. Cascade was second,
with $45,925.10 and Lewis and Clarke
third, with $42,89O.

LAID AT REST.
William Bradshaw's Body Consigned
to Last Earthly Home.


to Last Earthly Home..
All that remained on earth of Will.
! liam Bradshaw was consigned to rest
yesterday afternoon and the ground
closed over him. The life for which
he had made so determined and heroic
struggle was absent, only his silent
clay repOsed before those who had
gathered to pay their last said re-
spects to his memory. The fragrant
flowers that rested on his last earthly
tenement spoke eloquently of the es-
teem and regard in which he had been
held and the sorrowing faces OF those
surrounding his bier told the grief
at his taking off. Every honor the
living may pay the dead was shown
him, and could the grieving ones in
their distant home have seen the
scene enacted in that room of the
dead their sorrow would have been
lessened by the consolation that the
loved one had not died friendless and
forsaken, even though death came to
him among strangers.
Services were conducted at Setz-
ler's undertaking rooms, where the
body was taken after death, by the
Reverend Mr.. Miles, pastor of the
Congregation church He spoke
briefly, but feelingly of the creed OF
humanity as evidenced by the attend
ance, which, he said, was, after all,
Christianity. Other services were
held at the grave, to which the body
was followed by a number of friends,
among them several ladies.
The funeral was under the direc-
lions of G. F. Stocker, one of the
leceased's late employers, who, with
Mrs. Stocker, was in attendance.
Burial was had here in accordance
with the wish OF the dead mans
'ather, who telegraphed last Saturday
rom Guion, Texas, the home of the
lead man, that the body be interred
n this city.

ALBERT MANGUS MADE
AN ATTEMPT At SUICIDE.
Had Been Arrested on Suspicion Of
Setting Fire to His Own House
the Night Previous.

About O'Clock last Wednesday night
Mrs. Bert Mangus, living in the west
part of town. was awakened by strong
smell of smoke but supposed that IL was
caused by some old papers that she had
placed in the kitchen stove before re-
firing However, upon opening the
doors of the kitchen she was obliged to
walk over q portion Of the floor near
the east side which was exceedingly
warm, and looking out the window dis
covered blaze issuing from undor-
meath the house. Giving the alarm to
her son-in.law, Mr. VanHorn, he at once
secured water and soon extinguished the
blaze when il was found that bundle
of old rags, which had the appearance
Of being saturated with kerosene, had
been showed under the building. evident
| ly by some person who had then touched
a match to the stuff. But for the for
tunate awakening Of Mrs. Mangus the
result would have been unfortunate in
deed, as her daughter was lying i'll in
bed and her husband was out Of town at
the time.
Suspicion pointed to Mr.. Mangus as
the prepetrator of the deed as he claimed
to have been in Saginaw at the time, but
it was ascertained that he spent por-
ton of the night in st. Louis instead and
q man answering his description had
been driven to Alma after IL O'Clock by
St. Louis liveryman.
Upon Investigating Undersheritf But
ton decided to make an arrest and went
to the house after his man. After the
warrant had been served Mr.. Mangus
started with the Undersheriff but re-
quested to step back in the house to
speak to his wife.
While there he was seen to take some
thing from a small envelope and swallow
it, but stoutly denied it to the officer.
However, after being arranged before
Justice Spinney he began toshow symp-
toms of poisoning and Drs. Bagley and
Lamb were at once summoned, arriving
as soon as possible.

the effects the poison had, but at the
time OF going to press it was not known.
The doctors we're of the opinion that he
would recover. 1t is reported that he
has been acting rather queer of late and
it is thought his mind has become un-
balanced by illness.

CUES CATARRH.
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful
Cure for Catarrh Ever Dis
covered" says G.. Rhodes.

Do not try TO cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach il cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease can
be cured is through direct application
that will kill the bacilli of catarrh and
prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method of
treatment that accomplishes this. 1t is
the simplest, most pleasant, and the
only absolute cure for catarrh that has
ever been discovered.
Thousands Of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most prom.
inent men and women in the country
who have been cured by this remarkable
remedy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers,
even eminent physicians have been
giving strong testimonials as to the re.
markable powers of Hyomei to cure ca
tarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90, consisting Of an inhaler, droppel
and sufficient Hyomei to last severa
weeks. This will effect cure in ordi
nary cases, but for chronic and deep
seated cases Of catarrh, longer use may
be necessary, and then extra bottles Of
Hyomei can be obtained for soc. 1t ID
not alone the best Gt might be called
the only method OF curing catarrh, Dut
is also the most economical.
Chas. Rhodes has so much confidenc,
in the power Of Hyomei to cure catarrh
that he will for limited time, sell thi
medicine under personal guarantee II
refund the money IL the purchasers cal
say that IL did not help them.

PEOPLE vs.. BUTTERFIELD.
Case of Embezzlement in Justice Court In
which Jury Says Respondent Is
Not Guilty.

The case of The People VS.. Edward
Butterfield. charged with embezzling
$l5, from A. w. Stevens Co., COR
poration, of Wisconsin, was tried, Fri
day Of last week, in the justice court Of
John d. Spinney. The complaint was
made by one, Mcfarland. the travelling
agent Of said A. w. Stevens Co., alleg.
ing that the respondent was acting as
agent for said corporation in the sale Of
q horse, which had been left at the
Wright House livery barn. Mr.. McFar-
land claimed that when he left the
horse he said to Mr.. Butterfeld, who
was ali employe OF the barn, that the
horse was for sale and he wanted 500
for her (; that Thompson q Sanderhoff,
of this place were the local agents of said
corporation, and whatever they said
about the matter would be all right.
Mr.. Butterfield claimed he did not agree
to act as the agent in the sale of said
horse. but that some days after the horse
vas left there, one Frank Downs, came
to look at the horse and inquired the
price, which he stated was $50. After
Downs left the barn without having
said whether he would take the horse or
not, Butterfeld called up Mr.. Thomp.
son, agent for A. w. Stevens Co., and
bought the horse for $50 and the same
day he sold her again TO Downs for s65.
The claim of respondent in his defense,
was, that as he was not an agent for A.
w. Stevens Co, he was not guilty Of
embezzlement, and that while he did
make $l5, in the transaction, it was le-
ultimate, as he had bought the horse,
and had a right to sell her again and at
a profit.
Mr.. Salter, the prosecuting attorney,
being busy in the circuit court, the
case was prosecuted by w. A. Bahlke.
while James G.. Kress, made the defense
for respondent. The verdict of the
