Clusters Alleged Disobedience.

The widow of General Custer and
Cyrus Townsend Brady, the novelist
and historian, have engaged in a pass
age OF words over the fatal campaign
OF Little Big Horn, where Clusters
band was massacred IN 1876. Refer
ing to Mr.. Brady's statement in a
new historical work that Custer
brought defeat on himself by disobey-
ing orders, Mrs. Custer says:
Among the enemies of my hus-
band-for, alas no public man is with
out them-nOne has ever made such
terrible accusation. 1t remained
for him BRADY to say that General
Custer deliberately planned disobedi-
ence."
To this Mr.. Brady replies that he
did not originate the charge that Gus
ter disobeyed orders on that occasion
THAT charge has been made many
times" he declares. "and most prom
inently by Major General Robert P.
Hughes in the Journal of the Mill
tary Service Institution for January,
1896. volume IS. No. 70. This publ.
cation was brought to the notice of
Mrs. Custer at the time, and she
issued a pamphlet concerning it,"
The story that Custer was guilty
OF virtual disobedience of orders in
striking out on his own hook is not
new to the ephemeral literature of
that tragic episode in Indian warfare,
yet in a formal history which will be
read by posterity the statement, if
made, should be fortified by official
authority. The pubic will be satisf-
ed to leave the matter where Clusters
superiors left it.

Wiedeman's Bonding Bill.

FOnOwing is the text of the bill pre-
pared by Judge Cheadle and intro
duced last week in the house by Rep
resentative Wiedeman to permit the
bonding of the Lewistown school dis
trict:
section 1. That section 1, of an act
entitled An act to authorize the trus-
tees of school districts to repay mon
eys borrowed and used by such trus-
tees for maintenance of schools there
in, and to levy and collect a tax upon
all the taxable property in such dis
tricts or to issue and sell the bonds
of such districts therefor, as such
trustees shall deem advisable ap-
proved Feb. 10. 1901, shall be amended
to read as follows:
Section l. That whenever, before
the passage of this act, the taxes levi
ed and collected in any school dis
trict upon the taxable property Of said
district, for the necessary maintain
ance of the schools therein, have been
insufficient for the necessary main
tainance of said schools. and for that
reason the trustees of said school dis
trict have been compelled to borrow
money for the necessary maintain
ance of such schools, in order to pre-
vent the closing of the same for a
portion of the regular school year of
said district, and have borrowed
money for the necessary maintain
ance of said schols, and such moneys
so borrowed cannot be repaid out of
the total amount of taxes that may

Mr. John H. Cullom, editor of the

letter of congratulations to the manu-.
facturers of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy as follows: Sixteen years

We would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in 1887, and. finding it such
reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good fea-
ture of this remedy is that it is not
to take and our babies

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble Is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia cure. It
gives the stomach perfect rest by d.
costing what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach
to health. You don't have to diet
yourself when taking Kodol Dyspepsia
cure. J. D. Erskine, of Allenville,
Mich. says: Il suffer ed heartburn
and stomach trouble for some time.
My sisterin-law has had the same
trouble and was not able to eat for
six weeks. She lived entirely on warm
water. After taking two bottles Of
kodol Dyspepsia cure she was en-
tirely cured. She now eats heartily
and is in good health. am glad to

Washington, Utah, part Of California
and part of New Mexico and Arizona,

the cattlemen and sheepmen who were
present at the convention had been

entirely different. The voting strength
of the association was something over

FALL RIVER STRIKE.
Governor Douglas at Last Succeeds
in Effecting a Settlement.


Boston. Jan. 1S.-The strike Of the
cotton mill operatives at Fall River,
which affected about $4,000 persons
and has been in progress for sA
months, to the great hardship and
suffering of Fall Rivers people. was
settled today through the mediation
of Gov. VIM. l.. Douglas.
The agreement accepted was franz
ed by the governor and was SUBMIT
ed to each side by him when the par
ties met today. After some discus
sion in separate rooms the committees
returned to the governors office AMI
announced their acceptance of the
proposition. The full text of the
agreement was as follows:
THE strike to be declared off AMI
the operatives to return to work al
once. All operatives to be put to
work in the mill in which they were
employed when the strike began as
fast as possible, and no discrimina-
ton to be shown on account of the
present strike.
After resumption OF work, l (Gov.
ernor Douglass will take up and IN
vestigate the matter of margin and
submit to you my conclusion as to
what average margin shall prevail, on
which the manufacturers are to pay a
dividend of five per cent on wages
earned from the present to April /,
1905.
1T is agreed by both parties that
the margin fixed by me shall in NJ
way prejudice future scales of wages"
The proposition accepted today was
practically the same aS that which
the governor presented at last Sat
urday's conference, and which was
not accepted then because the mai
ufacturers' committee was not en-
powered to take the step.
After the meeting both sides ex-
pressed satisfaction over the outcome.
The operatives will begin going back
to work tomorrow.

ers' association, throws an interesting
light upon the reasons for the spit,
and does not hesitate to say that the
scheme under which it was proposed
to take in the railroad and packing
interests as members of the national
association was an i'll considered
move.
Speaking of the matter on his re-
turn, Mr.. Boardman SAID:
THE whole plan struck US as bad.
We found that the packers desire d
certain legislation at Westminster.
There is some legislation where the
packers and producers can work to
their mutual advantage. This applies
to efforts to get into foreign markets.
The more the trade in meats is ex.
tended the better for growers and
packers. But just now, when the uu.
reau OF commerce is investigating tn :.
beef trust and the packers under the
direction of President Roosevelt, it
would place the growers in a most
the packers in an association asking
for legislation. 1t looked to the cat
tlemen that if we took the packers
into our organization we would be
giving them cloak under which to
ask for legislation, and we did not
want to lend ourselves to such a
scheme.
THE scheme would have been good
1or the packers, now they are under
fire, to use the livestock men as a
cover to bring about what legislation
they desired or to stop what they H.,
not want.
That there was ground for our
action was amply demonstrated. We
were told by President HagenbartE
that the stockmen would not be call.
ed upon to put up any money. Plans
were outlined for expenditures agst-
eating $4,000 this year, and wa
would not have to pay any of it. !
will say that the railroads did NO:
appear to be very anxious to come in,
but 1t was different with the packers
and stockyards. The railroads were

for every car of livestock hauled. The
packers We're to pay SO much for CIV.
cry car received. That would mahe
a large sum, and as these Interest,",
would put up the money through the
central committee, they would con.
troll the whole thing, and make the
stockgrowers stand for anything they
wanted.

got a vote, and put the National On
