THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED
BY "Mother's Medicine Chest" and
Patent Prescriptions.

Patent Prescriptions,
Commenting on attacks made by
certain Eastern publications on some
of the best known and most valuable
of the worlds proprietary medicines,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says:
Gall through the country districts,
in every state of the Union. you will
find in the farm houses the old family
remedies, sometimes called patent
medicines, many of which have been
in use in the same household for gen.
erations. Among such people the old
fashioned proprietary medicine. al
ways at hand with full printed in
structions for use, is one of the neces-
stiles of life.
ITO families in the country many
miles from a doctor such remedies are
invaluable. Mothers medicine chest
has saved many a life and met many
a threatening sickness at the thresh-
hold and turned it out of doors. So
far from constituting self-prescription,
as is often pretended, acquaintance
with a patent medicine often obvi-
ates the necessity of such a step; for
here is a prescription already made
up, the effect of which is we'll known.
One Of the greatest advantages of
such medicine is that its constant for
mula gives it the character of a single
drug, so far as uniformity of result is
concerned, and the people who use it
know from experience just what they
can count on-which is more than can
be said of many physicians prescrip-
lions frequently obtained at a far
greater cost and trouble"

LARGE SECTION OF BUSINESS
PART OF THE CITY Is DE-
STROYED.
LOSS is A MILLION DOLLARS
CITY HAS. MARROW ESCAPE FROM
LOSING WHOLE BUSINESS
SECTION.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 26.-Fire caus-
ing a loss estimated at about a million
dollars yesterday consumed the entire
business portion of Butte lying be-
tween the Shodair block and Renshaw
alley on the south side of West Park
street and half destroyed the public
library.
The fire call was turned in at $40.
At noon the four-story Symons store
was a mass Of flames and the public
library and other places were burn
ing simultaneously. At 1 o'clock May
or McGinnis announced the fire under
control. Had the blaze nee crossed
Main street into the old buildings on
the north side Of Park street. or
Had 1t Not Been Checked
at the Renshaw block, Butte would
have suffered a loss of $4,000. 900.
A cigar company occupied part of
the ground floor and basement of the
big Symons Dry Goods company build
ing. At ono the men realized that to
keep the fire confined to the basement
and away from the elevator shaft was
the only hope of saving the block.
The men could not enter the seat Of
flames, but several went through the
real sidewalk windows and held the
hose as close as they could to the
origin of the smoke. Finally, with a
favorable change in the wind, which
kept the smoke back temporarily, the
firemen broke in three doors on the
ground floor and poured the water in
the direction of the elevator shaft,
which
Reared Like a Millrace.
A perfect geyser of sparks and burn
ing shingles spurted across the roofs
of other buildings, starting flames in
the Renshaw hall, and away to the
Park building. From II o'clock until
noon the Symons building burned free
as a bonfire, and the firemen confined
their labors to saving adjacent prop
erty. The Renshaw building seemed
doomed, as did the Lewis and Clark
buildings.
The Miner, Broadway, Harvard, Ar
CYL and other buildings were licked
by the flames, but good work on the
part of the owners and the firemen
prevented what seemed for some time
a general confiagration, as a stiff wind
was blowing flaming embers every
where.
BY II o'clock every piece of fire ap-
paratus in Silver Bow county was at
the scene of the fire.

w n e At

\ The movement of spring wheat to mar
ket is now in full swing and materially
exceeds that of last year. The Canadian
crop is being shipped in large quantities
and eXerts a heavy pressure on the abb
sorbing power of foreign markets. Under
these circumstances one would naturally
look for a lower price level, but in spite
of the free movement buying by outsiders
has been of sufficient strength to give the
market a rather stiff undertone.
We are looking for, and for some time
have expected, that the pressure of new
wheat would cause some decline. and
with this idea in view We believe traders
should be prepared to take advantage of
bulges and hard spots to make sales for
moderate turns.
The Canadian wheat crop, while large,
Is not so great an item as to dominate
the permanent course of prices. but before
its influence is spent ii will probably
prove of enough Importance to depress
prices in American markets to a point
where good purchases may be made for a
long pull. Our idea in counseling the sell
ing side lately is based merely on tempo
rary conditions.

Favors Larger Harbor at San Juan.

The government transport Sumner arrived
at New York yesterday, after a months
trip to Porto Rico and West Indian ports,
with the river and harbor congressional
committee. OF the fifteen members of the
committee, only one, Representative j.
Adam Bede of Minnesota, returned to New
York. Thirteen of the members disembark-
ed at New Orleans and one at Norfolk.
Speaking of the trip Mr.. Bede said:
THE committee is IN favor of widening
and deepening the harbor at San Juan and
making it a rendezvous for number of
war vessels. At present only two or three
can be accommodated at a time 1t 10 an
excellent situation and impressed the COM
mittee very favorably.
'tAll the harbor needs is a little dredging.
The committee will recommend to Congress
that it be improved as to accommodate
the whole of the South Atlantic fleet 1t is
not the idea of the committee to make San
Juan a naval base, but We ought to have
1t big enough for a rendezvous, as well
for any maneuvers, and so that our ships
can run I'm, in case of any of those sudden
hurricanes down there.
1--WE visited the harbor of Ponce also and
recommended that 1t be improved and Wild
ened All the members of the committee
are unanimous in the opinion that the work
ought to be done right away.

Old River Tradition.

Old rivermen say the frequent transforms
we are having are not due to the
April season, but to the fact that empty
barrels are being carried down the river
by the vessel loads to the fishing shores
where shad and herring are packed. 'See
a load of empty barrels, prepare for rain
squalls" is a time-honored saying among
rivermen, and they firmly believe in the
saying There certainly seems to be some
thing In it, for as sure as a vessel loaded
with barrels leaves port q rainstorm
comes. 1t has been suggested that the ex-
pertinent be tried in time of an extended
drought; but, as far as known, this river
mans charm to cause the clouds to weep
has never been tried by the scientific
weather authorities of the country. The
rains are apt to continue for several days,
as loads of barrels are due to leave port
almost daily for the next week.

Deepening Nomini Creek Channel.

the breaking down of the dredging ma
chine Chesapeake, has been resumed, the
Maryland Dredging and Contracting Com
pany, contractors for the work. having
sent the big dredge Baltimore to Norn<ni,
and she has started work there. The
Nomini channel, which is to be dredged to
a depth of ten feet at low water, is used
by sailing vessels and by the steamers of
the Randall Line, running from this city
to river points. Several years ago the
Nomini channel was cut through, but the
winds drifting the sand against stone
wall, built as a sand-break, has burfed it,
and, blowing over the wall into the dredged
channel, gradually filled it until there was
scarcely water enough in it to float the
light draft steamers.
