men JARED BADLY
[Continued from First Page.]

tanned at the h1gn prices WHICH nave
prevailed for the past two or more
years, until the beef market dropped,
s. disastrously to the range men, but
indications are that the prices OF all
kinds of cattle will decline in SYM
pathy with the market for beef cattle.
"The number of cattle brought into
the state during the year is slightly
in excess of the previous year or any
other year since the big years of the
eighties. We have been unable to
obtain strictly accurate figures as to
the number brought in, but a careful
estimate places it at about 1873, 900
head from all sources. Most of these
cattle were southern steers which
were shipped northward for range
purposes, and this influx of stock from
other states has resulted in greatly
o~vercrowding the Montana ranges,
which accounts in a measure for the
inferior quality of beef shipped from
Montana during 1903"
Efficient Inspection System.
For many years the board was un-
able to maintain a very large force
of inspectors owing to its limited
funds, but it's financial condition has
been so wisely managed and economy
practiced for the purpose of putting
the board on a solid financial basis
in order that the efficiency of this
work might be largely increased. It
will be observed that almost every
county in the state has had it's local
inspector during the past year, which
is due to the excellent financial con
dition of the board, and the work OF
the inspection system is correspond
ingly greater and far-reaching. The
appended table of statistics is an TX
hibit of the efficiency of the inspec-
tion system which speaks for itself
and is an indication of the benefits
accruing to the livestock interests
through the maintenance of such a
system.
"The inspection reports for the year
show a total of 100 arrests for viola
ton of the stock laws, resulting in As
convictions, with 16 cases still pend
ing in the courts and five others
jumped their bonds; three of the ar
rests were made at the instance of the
Wyoming authorities and the men
were sent back there for trial, while
one other was taken to Canada and
convicted there. In addition our in
spectors rendered valuable assistance
to the various sheriffs in the appre-
hension of other criminals, and also
to the railroads in their trouble dur
ing the year with dynamiters and
train robbers, so that their services
are valuable not alone to the livestock
interests, but to the general public
as well.
"The board has exercised the pow
ers conferred by law relative to the
employment of legal assistance in the
prosecution of offenders against the
stock laws of the state and such funds
as are necessary to this end have
been expended in securing evidence
and employing counsel for the prose-
ton.

guarding so precious a stone may be gath
cred from the fact that it's value may be
almost anything. When discovered it was
estimated to be worth a million dollars,
but in its finished state it will command
a fabulous price.
The story Of the discovery OF this Won
derful gem is Of no little interest. 1t was
found on June &c. 1893, at Jagersfontein,
in the Orange; Free State, South Africa.
! The stone was picked up: by a native
while he was loading truck, and altho a.
white overSeer was standing near him he
managed to secrete it and kept it on his
person for some time In this case, how
ever, it did not appear that he proposed
stealing the gem, but only wished to de-
liver It personally to the manager. This
he did, and bonus he received $3.50
and horse. saddle and bride. The dia-
mond weighed in the rough exactly 971A
carats or about 13 ounces avoirdupois
1t is Of beautiful blush white color, and
shaped like the broken off end Of an
icicle. The diamondiferous monster meas
ures three inches in thickness, two and
one half inches in greatest and one and
one third inches in least breadth. The
Excelsior has now been broken into six
teen pieces, the three largest Of which are
1885,, lat and 100 carats, respectively
These individual gems, in themselves OF
and polished, among the finest in the world
and the value of the original stone will
thus be multiplied

services Held Over casket Which Was
Filled With Dried Apples.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Speaking of odd funerals, about the
strangest thing ever saw in this line was
up in Arkansas a number of years ago."
said the old-timer, "and I doubt if any
man ever witnessed a more curious pro-
ceeding than the happening / have in
mind. There was a very old and very ec-
centric couple living in that section of the
state. They had been living there for
many years, but never had much to do
with the other people Of that part OF the
country. They had no children. They en-
tered into an agreement to make arrange
ments for the final crossing, for each
recognized that it would be only short
While before the end would come to each
Of them. They got the undertaken Of the
neighborhood to take their measurements
make their collins and send them around
to the home. They were plain wooden
boxes, Of that rough sort used in remote
sections Of the country in those days. They
were put out in an old storercOm along
with a lot Of provisions and other things
Of use and value. The collins remained
side by side for some time. In the mean
time the good housewife had busted her
self with the little details Of her home
work. She had dried lot of apples in the
summer and having no place to put them
just at the time she threw them into the
coffin which had been provided for her,
thinking she would take them out in a day

rather unexpectedly. He was placed in the
/ coffin which had remained in the store
room for some time. The funeral took
place late one afternoon, a considerable
number of the neighbors attending and
/ paying their respects to the dead. Several
hymns were sung at the grave, a short SER
| mon was preached and the usual cere-
monies were observed. The coffin was
lowered and covered, and the services end
ed. The next day an alarming discovery
i was made by acquaintance who had
i gone to the homo of the widow to cheel
land comfort her as much as possible
/ While rummaging in the storeroom she
thought she would look at the dried ap.
pies which the industrious wife had cullec
from the fruitage of the sumner. She
found that the funeral services Of the day
before, instead Of being held over the bod!
Il of the dead husband, were held over the
dried apples, and that the dead man hat
been left at home in the storeroom. Al
fthe singing, praying, preaching and weep
ing had been wasted because Of the un
happy circumstances surrounding the case
The mistake was a natural one The mel
who had gone into the little storeroom t
get the coffin were not well acquainted
there and the wife was SO overcome b!
grief that she was unable to look after at
fairs herself. The next day the dead hus
band was hauled out to the little grave
yard and the dried apples were haulet
back home"

The Ancient Scalp-Fever Theory Ex-
ploded.
At one time dandruff was attributed
to the result of a feverish condition Of
the scalp, which threw off the dried
cuticle In scales.
Professor Unna, Hamburg, Ger
many, noted authority on skin dis
eases, explodes this theory and says
that dandruff is a germ disease.
This germ is really responsible for
the dandrun and for SO many bald
heads. It can be cured il 1t is gone
about In the right way. The right
way, of course, and the only way, is
to kill the germ.
