question was avoided by Mr.. Soy.

was Of great argumentative force
in support Of the position contended
for by the county that the railroad

benefit the railroad company as we'll

'".That the question now before the

This question has never been de-

by any court of last resort and,
therefore, the proposition was pre-
sented as to whether or not the
general drainage law OF the State Of

Built Out of an Old Boat.

Recent improvements in Miles City
have brought to public notice the his,
tory of one of the most remarkable
buildings in Montana. 1t is on one of
the principal business streets Of the
place and is known as the Steamboat
block.
1t is well named, as it is construct.
ed of wood from one Of the steamers
that used to ply the Yellowstone
River. The steamer was called the
Yellowstone, also, after the river ii
was navigating. 1t was something
like thirty years ago when the steam.
er Yellowstone made it's last trip mp
as far as Miles City. 1t struck on the
rocks at the rapids just below the
town. Nothing could be done to get
her off and she was abandoned.
George Miles, a son Of General Miles,
bought the vessel as she lay a wreck.
From large sections Of the hull was
built the house which has just been
exposed by the march Of improvement.
1t is two stories in height, the upper
floor being just as the cabin of the
steamer had been. Miles utilized the
staterooms where the passengers were
wont to sleep to make hunks for trav.
elers or steady in the upper
part of his remarkable building. The
lower floor has been used for store
purposes. ~
Miles still owns the building and il
is a source Of revenue. 1t promises to
outlast some of the more modern
structures in Miles City, such is the ell.

is built.-Anaconda Standard.

DIGGING HI CANAL.
BLOW PROGRESS BEING MADE ON
THE PANAMA iSTHMUS.
Vacations Delay Seems Owing Chiefly
to the Dissatisfaction of Americans
with Conditions-The Rains, Yellow
Fever and Malaria.

Slowly and unwillingly the American
government is awakening to the i'm
mensity of the task of digging the Pan
anna canal, writes Junius b. Wood in
the Chicago Inter Ocean. A year has
elapsed since the starting Of the actual
work on the isthmus and all that has
been accomplished of permanent value is
the excavation Of a comparatively trifling
amount of material and the partial or
ganization of a working force.
Unexpected and serious obstacles both
in the field of work and in this country
have impeded the work. Situations
which could not be foreseen on paper or
accounted for in figured estimates have
arisen. On all sides they have sprung
up-varying from friction with the off,
Gals at Washington over problems of
policy to squabbles with negro laborers
over the necessity Of coffee with every
meal. But the problem which is of most
interest to the general public, and which
has made it almost impossible to form an
effective working organization from its
shifting personnel, is the dissatisfaction
of the American employees.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 10.-tSpecial)-
I'm this SECTION of Pennsylvania there
is a growing BELIEF that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure cure
and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This
belief grows from such cases as that
OF Mrs. M. l.. Dawson OF this place.
She tells the story herself as follows:
Il have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have home me more good
than any medicine l have ever AIKEN.
i was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since l took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
ful IL it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at a verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

shines things dry quickly, but when it
does not appear the atmosphere is pain
fully depressing.
Under this downpour the ground be-
comes moist and unstable, the beds of
dry creeks become boiling mountain tor
rents, and for weeks, and sometimes
months, interior towns are cut off from
all communication with one another, ex-
cept by way of the oceans.
The dread yellow fever accompanies
the rainy season and is most active dur
ing July. No precautions thus far found
have availed to prevent it. 1t strikes
suddenly and hard, and within FIVE days
the victim is either on the road to re-
covery or is dead. A person may be
feeling in the best of health in the even
ing, but wake up with a splitting head
ache and with chills and pains in his
joints in the morning. Before noon his
temperature will have risen above 100
degrees, and a quick trip to the hospital
Is the only chance of saving his life.

feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how 1t has relieved him.
"You will doubtless understand how

Grand Jury Charges % Milwaukeeans
with Interest in Bribes.

SiXty-seven indictments against TWEEN
ty-hve persons have been returned by the
milwaukee, grand jury, based upon the
confession of Edward +. Strauss as to
graft in connection with alterations in
the county buildings. Capiases were is
sued and the men were brought into
court Passing over the indictments
seriatim, Judge Tarrant briefly stated in
each instance the amount of bail to be
exacted. In almost every case he made
the sum $500. In a few exceptional
cases the bond was fixed at $1,000.
The payment of a bride to an Assem-
blyman for his vote on the primary cleo
ton law recalls this charge by the Gov
ernor:
Opponents of the measure used every
possible means to defeat it. That wom-
en- of questionable character were In
the capital that winter, employed as stem
ographers and clerks through their ef-
forts, is one of the allegations against
them. 1t was charged that certain AS
semblymen got other members drunk SO
that they could not be present to vote
for the bill. On the occasion Of the all
night session one A~ssemblyman was
brought in dead drunk.
Stories that railroad mileage books
and passes were distributed freely have
been common. Members favoring the
bill were allowed to win at cards in the
hope Of getting their good will. Charges
that money was used in outright briberK
were less frequent than charges Of cor
ruption in other ways"
