Regarded in the right light, a state
league of baseball clubs will make for
the neighborly rivalry of all the cities;
it will promote the homogeneity of
Montana; it will accelerate civic pride
in every town involved; it will adver-
tise municipalities better than local
newspaper; it will put new life into
the young people and stimulate the old
"boys" better than season of mint
juleps and big hballs.
Has your town got enough red blood
in it to go out and get up a baseball
club?
Get busy. Now is the time to or
ganize, to plan, to forecast a summer
season of wholesome, inspiring, harm
less sport. -Heleha Independent.

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom of some dis
ease, and the disease is what you
should cure, then the cough will stop
of itself. The most common cause of
coughing is a cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chloroform,
opium, ETC., are used for that purpose,
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy OH the other
hand does not suppress the cough, but
relieves it by removing from the throat
and lungs the mucus which obstructed
the breathing and allaying the irrita-
tion and tickling in the throat. 1t also
opens the secretions and carefully and
permanently cures the cold as we'll as
the cough. For sale by all druggists.

At the present time the tariff ques-
ton is attracting great deal of at
tention and drawing the fire of both
democratic and republican newspa
pers. If President Roosevelt carries
out his present intention nd,-convenes
congress in extraordinary session for
the purpose of tariff revision it will
mean much to the people of the United
States. Take wool. for instance-one
of the principal products of our com
munity-if The tariff should be lowered
on the raw material, what guarantee
have we that the manufacturers will
reduce the price of the finished pro-
duct to the consumer? 1t is more than
probable that they would not do so.
BY this we can see where a Reduction
of the tariff on raw wool would work
a very great hardship upon many OF
our friends and neighbors and would
only tend to turn more dollars into the
pockets of the trust manufacturers.
There is plenty of room for meditation
on the tariff question.

Thomas H. Carter was elected u.
S. senator for the six year term to sue
coed Paris Gibson in the joint assem-
bly, on the first ballot Monday, receiv-
ing fifty-two votes. w. G. Conrad OF
Great Falls carried away the solid
democratic vote. That Mr.. Carte,
would be chosen as our next senator
was not doubted by many when the re-
turns of the recent election were known.
While there are men whom the demo-
Gratis of this state would rather see go
to Washington than Thos. II. Carter,
he is the logical representative of the
republicans of this state, and the
chances are that there is not man in
the state who can accomplish as much
as can Mr.. Carter. He is man of
national reputation, fluent talker.
and has the energy to push through
any legislation which he may under
take. 1t is claimed by some that Mr.
Carter is corporation man and bound
body and soul to their dictations. AS
to this we do not know But we do
know that the representatives of the
people of Montana in legislature as
sembled bestowed upon Mr.. Carter the
highest honor within the gift of the
state and we will judge him by his
works and not by what is said of him.

DEATH OF RICH AND ECCENTRIC
RUSSIAN WOMAN RECALLS
INTERESTING TALE.
She Married an Uncouth Gardener
Who Was Murdered by Her
Furious Relatives.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-The
Kaluga newspapers report the death
and amazing burial of Mile. Agafva,
one of the richest and most eccen-
trio women in Russia.
When only twenty years of age Mile.
Simbirski, by the death Of her father,
became possessed of a fortune Of near
ly three million roubles. Suitors in
Vulnerable sought her hand, but the
enormously wealthy girl set her af-
fections on an ugly, red-haired gard
ener, Andrei Vanukhin by name. Furi-
Gus at her choice Mile. Simbirski,
brother ordered Vanukhin to leave the
Within a week he was found lying
dead within a paddock reserved for
the use of a half tame wild boar. AL
though an evident case of murder, the
family hushed things up, alleging that
Vanukhin had been killed by the
pig, which he we'll knew to be danger
Gus. Contrary to expectation, Mile.
Simbihski appeared to accept this eX-
PLANTATION. But the joy of the family
was turned to despair when the young
lady proclaimed her belief that the
spirit Of her dead lover had entered in
to the body of his slayer. From that
day forth Mile. Simbirski consecrated
her life to the evil-smelling hog.
To her order a firm of st. Petersburg
contractors built a palatial sty of
granite and snowwhite marble.
The demented lady retained the SER
vice of an expert cook, who thrice
daily prepared a sumptuous repast
for the benefit of the granting porker.
Mile. Simbirski was accustomed to
feed the hog with her own fair hands,
and only recently ordered a gorgeous
silver trough from a we'll known Mos
COW manufacturer.
A few weeks ago the unfortunate
girl became extremely religious, and

Total
Laying Of New Mains.


This shows large amount expended
for renewal of old pipe and the laying
of new mains within the city limits.
Nearly all of the revenue from the
water department during the past
three years mas been spent in this way.
Therefore, at the present time the wa
ter mains inside the city limits are in
a satisfactory condition to be attached
to a high head gravity system. In a
former estimate from one of our city
engineers it was estimated that $780,
900 would be required to renew the old
pipe within the city. This work has
been practically completed, and in the
future the expenditures, as the city
grows, will be for new mains. Last
year. with the renewals and new mains,
over four miles of new pipe were laid.
The increase in mileage was about
one mile. We find within the city linn
it's nearly thirty-five miles of pipe line.
Taking all of these facts into con-
sideration, it can be seen plainly that
we can furnish the city with an ade-
quate supply of water in such way
that it will not tax the people one
dollar, excepting as they pay for the
water the same as they are doing at
the present time. The revenue from
the water department will pay the in
terest on the bonded Indebtedness, and
gradually will pay it off.
Submit it to People.
Sufficient money can be obtained at
a low rate of interest to carry on
this work, and advise the immediate
placing of this entire matter before
the people, for approval or for rejec-
ton. It will be necessary to state
plainly the proposition; that is, the

course of supply, method of con-
Quoting the water to the city, and the
approximate cost. We must nave the
citizens approval On the proposition;
also on the issuance Of the necessary
bonds. This water proposition is large
and important; it will require a great
deal of your best thought, your time
and your energies to carry it to sue
cessfu1 termination.
Conclusion.
Having taken up the city's affairs M
their different departments you will
see that there is much work ahead Of
you for the coming year. Many i'm
provements are contemplated; some
reforms are absolutely essential. and
in conclusion I wish to say that the
wheels Of progress are in motion, and
to charge you to let no acts of yours
clog or obstruct them. Take hold of
the city's affairs in businesslike way;
do not let party differences of opinion
with your duties. Consider in a calm
and deliberate manner each phase of
every proposition that presents itself
to you, so at the end Of the fiscal year
you will see much good work accom-
plished, and 1 thank you in advance
for your careful consideration of these
matters. Respectfully,

Mayor.

was inevitable that considerable time
should be taken in studying the stu
alton, and it was necessary to have
some maps made and some develop
ment work done. On account Of our
city surveyor being busily engaged last
summer in our street paving, some of
the data required by Mr.. Thomson
was long delayed
Two or three years ago we engag-
ed a Mr.. Otis Weile, who also is an
engineer Of high standing, to 60 over
the situation. He spent several days
Investigating the situation and very
quickly made his decision; mis- report
is on file at the present time. He en-
phatically stated that the only logi-
cal way to obtain water for the city
was to take it out of Mill creek. His
report, however, did not seem to meet
with the approval Of a great many of
our people, as it was still firmly i'm
pressed on their minds that we could
get the water in less expensive man.
ner; consequently Mr.. Weile's sug-
gestions were not adopted.
Mr.. Thomson's Investigations, now
ever, have been much more thor
ough, and nave extended over nearly
a year. Much money was spent, and
1 am safe in saying that his conclu-
sion will be the same as Mr. Weile's.
Mr.. Weile was looking for a source of
supply, and it was very easy for him
to reach his conclusion. Mr.. Thorn
son, however, took every phase Of the
situation into consideration: not only
the source of supply, but also the fl
nancial standing of the city, for to
carry out any large project money is
required.
Must Come From Mill Creek.
Under our very low assessment we
had almost reached our limit of in
debtedneSs, and to furnish the ade-
quate funds was as much of prob
lem as to determine upon the most
feasible plan of obtaining the water
supply. Therefore, summing it all
up, the decisions of the two best hy-
draulic engineers on the Pacific coast
is that the only logical way for us
to obtain this water supply is to take
it out of Mill creek.
Finances of Water Office.
Regarding the finances Of this prop
osition, 1 will first dwell upon the re-
port Of the water registrar. Our rev.
enue from all sources in the water de-
partment last year was approximately
$4,000. Current expenses on account
of renewal of supply pipes in the paved
districts was little larger than usual.
The operating expenses of the water
department were, nevertheless, very

ROMAN DICE THROWING.
Devices Used to Prevent Fraud In
the Days of the Caesars.

Devices Used to Prevent Fraud In
the Days of the Caesars.
The number of dice used was three,
being marked with minimum Of one
and a maximum of six spots. The most
fortunate throw, called venereuS by
Cicero and basilicus by Plautus, was
when the dice showed three seniones,
or eighteen spots. The gravity of the
losses depended naturally upon the
amount of money at stake and the fines
that were paid when the dice showed
one or more aces.
It is difficult to explain what SKIN
bad to do with such a game. Still Isl
dore describes how inveterate gamblers
could succeed in throwing the six and
In avoiding the unit. In a graf1tO at
Pompeii an honest player congratulates
himself for having gained good sum
of money without fraud PlautHs
dwells on these dishonest practices, to
avoid which several instruments were
invented, such as the horn and the
fritfllus
It seems, however, that these instru-
ments did not always fulfill their pur-
pose. A third one was consequently
Invented in the shape of tower, with
a spiral staircase inside and funnel
on top. The dice. shaken first in the
horn or in the fritillus. were thrown in
to the funnel and rolled down the
spiral staircase until they landed on
the table. Such precautions rendered
cheating almost impossible.
