The Committee is- sued subpoenas for two or three high of. flcers in the Mormon Church and expect ed to have them here on the 20th instant. when the hearings are to be resumed.
 Senator Burrows has been notified that the men wanted by his Committee have fled from the country and cannot be reached. One of the Mormons for whom a subpoena was issued, has skipped to Canada. another has gone to Mexico and a third is on his way to Europe
 Senator BurroSs is very much provoked that these men have slipped through his fingers.

from Winchester, Va. that she had
been under a doctors care for four
years for dyspepsia; the pain appear
ed to center under her left shoulder
blade, and was so severe at times
that she could neither eat nor sleep.
She had lost ta.lh In her home doc

pie of our DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills. which had been recommended
to her. We sent her two pins. In a
few days she sent for a box. Now
she writes that the pain under her
shoulder has left her entirely, she
enjoys her meals and never sleeps
less than eight hours every night.
and this has all come about in two
weeks, and cost her so cents for two
boxes of pills. She says the doctor
charged her $4,000 and she told him
he had better take the $4,000 and
invest 1t all in DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills and build up his practice.
We have not received the doctors

standing with the now dominant ele-
ment in the councils of the Demo
cratic party of Montana.
II will be remembered that two
years ago the Heinze element domi-
mated the party in this county. Both
the primaries and the county conven-
ton were rudely manipulated in the
interest of the INSCRIPTIONS Butte
mining adventurer. A Clark delegate
in the county convention was per-
soma non grata. He did not have a
look in when it came TO participating
in the proceedings One Of the ablest
Democrats in the county. and the
best parliamentarian, was invariably
ruled out of order whenever he at
tempted to put a motion, and when
1t came to naming delegates to the
state convention he was overlooked
and preference given TO someone
more pliable in his makeup. AT Boze'
man the delegation as well as Heinze
himself was turned down. the Clark
forces proving strong enough to con
troll the convention.
The pertinent question o Is,
where does Mr.. Hilger stand?" 1t
is secretly whispered that Heinze is
behind Mr.. Hilger's aspirations 10 be
lieutenant governor. The office is
important in that the incumbent be.
comes president of the senate during
q session of the legislature and is
clothed with considerable power,
which can be used 10 advantage when
the parties r nearly evenly divid-
ed.
II is Mr.. Heinze's scheme TO have
some faithful adherence in all par.
ties, and If he cant get them by ac-
tive participation in conventions he
will resort to some cunning device
that will not expose his hand.
Mr.. Hilger is classed as a very ar
dent Heinze man. II he is still for
him will not this fact initiate against
him in the coming state convention.
If he is in sympathy with Mr..
Heinze why shouldn't he seek the
nomination for lieutenant governor
on the antitrust" party ticket,
which Mr.. Heinze Is going to have
in the field this fall.
We are sorry Mr.. Hilger does not
stand by the regular party organiza.
ton in this state. He may have to
serve a long period of probation be.
fore the Clark element, which is now
in control. will confer any high hon.
ors upon him. He has Deen chasing
after false gods.

Large states.

The proposed new State of Arizona embraces a territory of 235,000 square miles. If admitted as a State, Arizona
 will be, next to Texas, the largest State in the Union. Texas comprises 265,7S0 square miles. The next largest of the existing States Is California.
 with t58,369 square miles, and the next Is Montana, with 146,0S0 square miles. The proposed State of Oklahoma, in- cluding Oklahoma and the Indian Ter ritory contains 70,430 square miles. The question concerning the proper size of new States was a serious one in Thomas Jefferson's Day, and his views in this regard will be interesting. Said he: With respect to the ultramontane States, will their inhabitants be hap piest divided into States of 30,O0O square miles each or into States of 160,000 square miles each? They will not only be happier in States of a moderate size, but 1t is the only way in which they can exist in regular society. A State of 160.000 would soon crumble into little pieces. If we could In our consciences say that great States be- yond the mountains will make the peo- ple happiest, we must still ask wheth- CT they will be contented to be laid off in large States. They certainly will not, and if they decide to divide them selves we are not able to restrain them. They will end by separating from our confederacy and becoming It's enemies"

Paul West. the author of the book and lyrics. has submitted and had accepted the first act of the piece. and John w. Bratton has completed g. fArge part of the music. This is the most ambitious work West and Brat ton have yet attempted, their previous collaboration having been confined, for the most part, to songs for other peo- ple's plays and operas. In The Pearl and the Pumpkin" they have succeed ed in at least hitting upon a field hitherto untouched by other authors for the stage.
