ordinance which prohibited minstral
singing in saloons. A general discus.
sion ensued over the provisions of this
proposed ordinance and Alderman
Smith expressed it as his opinion that
as there already existed an ordinance
covering this matter the new ordi-
nance was unnecessary. At present
there is no particular complaint on
this ground but the intention of the
city attorney was to prevent a repe-
tition of the condition which prevailed
here last summer when Main street
strongly reminded one of trip down
the Pike or along the Trail. The mat
ter was dropped as it was thought
that the saloon men will take the
hint and prevent all unnecessary noise
of that character.
The council was informed by Alder
man Smith, who is also chairman of
the library board, that the board had
that afternoon selected site for the
new Carnegie library building, the lots
having been rendered free of charge.
Alderman Smith moved that an ordi-
nance be drawn prescribing the tuties
of the library board and ordering that
the library board and building COM
mittee of the city council be given
power to look after the construction
of the new library building. This mo-
tion prevailed. Upon the recommends
tion of Alderman Tubb, the street and
alley committee was ordered to look
over the bridge near the mill and to
order such repairs as was necessary.
The petition of the residents of River
side addition for a street through that
portion of the city were referred to
the city engineer for investigation.
In reply to inquiry by Alderman
Brown, City Attorney DeKalb in
formed the council that on Wednesday
evening he had given the city marshal
five complaints against the establish
ments in which gambling is being
conducted and that the cases had
been filed in the police court and

Sufficient Money Subscribed to
Guarantee the Construction Of
$4,000 Building.
WILL BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
Three Story Stone Building on the
Lots in the Rear of the Fergus
County Democrat Office.

Lewistown is going to have a hotel
that will be in keeping with the size
and progressiveness of the city,. The
money has been subscribed, the plans
Kent Of Helena and it is expected that
the work Of excavating will begin
within thirty days. After waiting for
it for a number of years Lewistown
now has her greatest need assured.
The new hotel will be three stories
high, constructed of stone with q
pressed brick front and located on the
May lots on Main street just back of
the block in which the Democrat is
situated. These lots We're recently
purchased by M. L. Woodman and
Charlie Mcdonald for $4,000. AS soon
as they We're purchased the movement
for the erection of fine modern hotel
on the lots was started. Several SUBJ
scriptions of splendid size soon gave
the subscription list most substan-
tial appearance, and this morning the
Democrat was informed by one of the
gentlemen who has the matter in
charge, that sufficient money has been
subscribed to justify starting at once
or the work Of putting UP $4,000
building. The plans are expected very
soon and no time will be lost as it is
the intention to complete the builting
this summer and fall. Very little ex.
cavating will be necessary to make ar
elegant basement to the building al

grade The building will have 10t
foot front and $50 foot depth.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube When the
tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re,
suit, and, unless the inflammation can
be taken out, and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inAamcd condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall 8

Of t8 to 10.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. Ex-senator
Ralston's anti-prize fight bill was de-
feated in the Senate by a vote of IS
TO 10. The debate was limited to three
minutes for each member after a pro-
test from Shortridge against gag-law.
Shortridge said the bill was per-
nicious inasmuch as it limited the per-
sonal liberty of the citizens. He said
further that the representative citizens
Of San Francisco could be found at
the ringside at the Corbett-Ne
fight
Senator Wolfe made an attack on the
measure because 1t provided for anna
teur contests where the unframed and
physically unfit were allowed to pum-
mel one another to their permanent
disablement in many cases.
Ralston advocated his measure by
referring to the number of fake fights
that take place and also to the unde-
sirable citizens that are developed in
a prize ring environment. He said that
the youth of the State needed the sup
preston of the prize ring, if it would
develop to its fullest possibility. The
Senator gave notice of reconsideration
of the vote whereby the bill was lost.

Count de Cini, of Rome, nephew Of

Miss Howe, who has spent most of

to Count Charles de Cini of Rome. The
wedding was to have taken place in
London last November. Six weeks be-

should have s50,000 cash, that she
should pay all his debts and also settle
upon him $4,000 a year for life. Miss
Howe refused and the Count left Pitts

was not broken off at that time.

STRIKE BRINGS
COAL FAMINE
Fuel Supply in Warsaw Is
Diminishing and Prices
Are Rapidly Advancing
PEACE NOT IN SIGHT
Negotiations Between En-
ployers and Idle Work
ingmen Come to Naught

WARSAW, Feb. 2S.-The strike situ-
alton in Poland is far from encourag-
Ing. A general strike of shop assist
ants in Warsaw is expected tomorrow
unless the demands of the men are
conceded Seventy-five per cent of the
employers are willing to give in. but
the remainder refuse TO do so. The do
mestic servants also threaten to strike
tomorrow.
The coal supply in Warsaw is dimin-
ishing and prices are rapidly advanc-
ing, owing to the situation at Sos
novice. where few mines are being op-
Grated. Negotiations between the en-
ployers and strikers are continuing, but
there is probably little hope OF a sue
eessful outcome All the coal received
here now is coming from Silesia. The
situation was further complicated to-
day by strike of the coal cart drivers.
The owners OF the great cotton mills
at Zyrardoff to-day notified Il, 600
strikers that unless they returned 20
work Immediately the mills would be
closed for six months.
There is some evidence Of a recru-
descence of the Lodz strike. The strike
still continues.

EXTENT OF KURoKFs VICTORY.
Strategic Advantage Gained by the
Japanese Forces.

Japanese Forces.
GENERAL KUROKIS HEAD
QUARTERS, Sunday, Feb. 26.-The
japanese yesterday Saturday achiev-
ed a signal victory over the forces
commanded by Lieutenant Generai
Rennenkampf While this victory is
important in itself, it is more so De
cause of the strategic advantage gain
ed by the Japanese. The fighting was
over mountainous country between
thirty and forty-five miles east of Yen
tai, which is about fifteen miles north
east of Liaoyang.
General Kuroki's infantry again dis
played remarkable qualities as hill
fighters and proved their superiority
to the famous cavalry of the Russians.
The right of the Japanese winter po-
sition has been near Ponchi, extending
toward the southeast, on the south or
the Shake River and west of the Taltse
River. In yesterdays movement
body of Japanese troops which had
been advancing from Ponchi swung
around toward the northeast and
swept the Russians before them.
The Japanese now hold strong lines
extending from southwest to northwest
and partly eastward of the Taitse
River, threatening the Russian left
flank.
General Rennenkampf commanded
one and half divisions of cavalry,
division of infantry and body of
sharpshooters, with full compliments
of guns.
The principal engagement was north
east of Tsinkhetchen, where the Rus
slams held strongly defended entrench-
mentS.
The Russians left 203 dead on the
field there and lost several machine
guns. Their casualties are estimated
at more than 1000.
