to say, in 1he opinion of the express,
company, he never shipped any money
whatever to New York. This opinion
was strengthened as the days slipped
by, and Kelly failed to make any claim
for the refund of the little fortune that
he presumably had lost through the
negligence of the express company.
And now that the same Kelly, as is
alleged, has been convicted of another
attempt to obtain money by fraud. the
Northern Pacific has ceased to carry
S14, 300 as a possible liability.

They began to drink Wesley's whis.

quite bit. Redmond went out of the
store and back in again during this

Wesley grappled. Wesley knocked
Redmond down. l thought at first
they were in fun. Then they fought
in the store later and knocked the
stove down. 1t was real fighting.
After that they appeared to make up
again and drank some more whiskey.
While they were fighting outside told
Wesley to go in the store and lock the
door. He started to go in and Hugh

important Changes in MOnta ma
County Government

Through the courtesy of the Montana
State Normal College, in bulletin re-
Gently issued by them we are indebted
for the information in the change OF
county government, which may prove
of interest to our readers:
"After March 1st there will be q
counties in Montana. The Ninth Leg
islative assembly provided for dividing
Missoula county. The county is to be
named Sanders IN honor Of the late
Col. Wilbur F. Sanders.

corrected the name of Lewis and Clark

"The county commissioners may
also ests blish public scales and ap-

"There was general desire in the
Ninth Legislative Assembly to reduce
the salaries of county officers. 1t will
be remembered that these salaries vary
with the classification Of the county,
according to the assessed valuation of
taxable property, the salaries being
larger in the higher and smaller in the
lower classes. The object was accom-
plished by changing the classi tication,
increasing the amount OF taxable prop
erty necessary to place county III
any particular class. The result is OF
course to reduce many counties to d
lower classification. The following
will now be the plan of classi tication
Valuation $50, 900, 900 or over, coun
ties of the 1st class.
Valuation $50, 600, 900 to $50, 900, 600
counties of the End class.
Valuation Sis, 600, 900 to $40, 600, 600
counties of the 3rd class.
Valuation $11, 900, 900 to SIS, 900, 900
0 counties of the 4th class.

G counties of the 5th class.

counties of the 9th class.
Valuation $3,O0O,O 600 to $1,000, 900
: counties of the 7th class.
. Valuation under $5, ,OOO 900, countie
of the 9Th class.
= The change will not affect count,
officials now in office, but will appl.
: to those to be elected in Nov. 1906.
1t will be the duty of the commission
ers in each county, at their regula

designating the class to which sai

assessed valuation of such county 70

1t will be seen that, unless the as
sessment TOR 1906 proves to be much
larger than that for 1904, all of the
counties marked with a will be re-
duced to lower class. Missoula
county will have to be reduced in anv
event, because of the separation of

buried Avenue Of sphinxes.

Scarcely a winter goes by but one
hears of more Of the marvellous handi-
work of the ancient Egyptians being
unearthed, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
One really commences to wonder wheth-
err these discoveries will ever cease. AS
one journeys up the Nile one sees many
sights which interest, but when one
reaches Luxor and sees the parts which
have been excavated and which are in
course Of excavation, then, and then
alone, does one realize that, as a coal
mine is well nigh inexhaustible, so the
excavations will continue increasingly.
1t is known, for instance, that an ave.
nue. of sphinxes joins the temples of
Luxor and Karnak They are, for the
most part, still underground, and yet
no effort is being made to unearth them.
For one thing, the task would involve
a heavy outlay of money before even>a
clod Of earth was removed, for one or
two. villages are settled on the site.
How the sand, dust and debris can have
accumulated in such quantities as to
make it possible for people to settle on
the top surpasses man s. understanding.
Even as I sit writing these lines I see
before me the ruins Of Luxor temple,
which are quite sixty feet high, and yet
a whole village was situated onSthe very
top of the ruins, and even a few feet
above them, when the work of exacava
ton was started; as matter of fact,
our dragoman was born in one of these
houses. It would be incredible if, at.
the rear Of the temple, there were not
some houses on level with the top of
the columns.
One or two men are privately devot-
ing themselves to helping the cause of
Egyptology. One of these is Mr.. Theo-
dore NJ. Davis. who for many years has
assiduously engaged in excavations on
the west bank of the Nile, which also
.abounds in ruins Mr.. III. R. Hall, who
is working on behalf of the Egypt ex-
ploration fund, is also making good pro-
gress at Der ell Bahari. But Mr. Robert
Mond, another amateur excavator, who
started operations last year and was
very fairly successful, has had to stop
work this year owing to the sudden
death Of his wife.

In America ice is a necessity. The

ECCENTRIC MISSOURIAN
NEVER SLEEPS IN A BED
Only Fluid that Ever Passes His Lips
Is Tea Made from Swamp
Herbs

Uncle Hiram Wooster, one of the
most eccentric characters in Rey-
nolds, if not in the state, has pulled
up stakes and gone to Kansas, after a
residence here of nearly half a GEN.
fury, says the Kansas City Journal.
He is 20 years old and never. slept in
a bed in his life. He contrived stout
leather harness, which he strapped
around his chest and between his
shoulder blades; the straps ended In
wrought iron hook. When he want
ed to go to sleep he stood on chair
and threw the hook on staple driven
into the wall of his cabin. In this
manner he slept comfortably night
after night He said it saved the
bother Of making beds.
Uncle Hiram wouldn't permit a
woman to enter his house, and no fe-
male animal of any kind could be
found on his place. All his hogs were
boars, and he had yard full Of roost-
ers that were always Growing or fight
ing and became great nuisance. The
old man declared he had not taken a
drink of water in fifty years. The
only fluid that ever passed his lips
was a tea made of herbs which he
gathered in the swamp. The decoc-
ton must have possessed some pc
culiar drying property, for Uncle Hi
rams skin was so harsh and hard
that his chin could easily be used for
nutmeg crater. He wore blue jeans
the year round and disdained the use
of underwear, except for his shins,
which he kept wrapped in newspa-
pers. The neighbors are not sorry he
has gone.

Tea Drunkenness

Tea has undoubtedly its victims as wei
as alcohol, though we think that 1T would
be absurd to say that the former bever-
age shares with the latter any serious
connection with crime. Both, of course,
may easily be sources of disturbance to
health, and immoderate tea drinking is,
in one sense, just as physiologically sin
full as drinking an alcoholic beverage TO
excess. Alcohol is, of course, more in
sidious poison than tea, and it's effects
are more drastic and perceptible- Never
theless, tea may be equally stealthy in
disturbing functional equilibrium, says
the Lancet.
As a factor in disease excessive tea
drinking is very often overlooked, and it
does not occur to many persons that tea
may be the source of their trouble At
any rate, when the abuse of tea in such
instances gives place to the drinking of it
in a rational manner and in moderate
quantities the common symptoms of dis
turbance of the gastric function, such as
fatulence and irregular action of the
heart and of the nervous system, such as
tremulousness and excitability, disappear.
The tea drunkard and the alcohol drunk
ard are both victims of excess; they
abuse these beverages, and the results are
analogous; they wilfully step from the
path of physiological righteousness and
the sequel is disease. The word abuse, in
fact, sums up the whole question when we
look at it temporarily and without pref
udice.
Persons of incorporate views, on the
other handfi, hold that when a risk of
abuse exists it is folly in any circum-
stances to tolerate use, and so we have
among US organized movements for the
suppression of alcohol, tea, tobacco, su-
gar, meat, and so forth. We have often
heard of the existence of "'tea drunken
ness which was epidemic in its dimen-
sions in the swarming districts Of great
industrial town, but we confess to some
scepticism as to whether the tea evil was
anywhere in any sense comnensurable
with the alcohol evil. Still, we know that
in poor families where the teapot is az
ways on the hob and the worst qualities
of the leaves are thoroughly extracted,
the inhibition of the poisonous stew be-
ing INDUCED in all day, the effects on the
health have many points in common with
those arising from the alcohol habit
Such persons are, as a rule, i'll nourishsd,
tea often being taken effectively to stay
the pangs of hunger; they are confirmed
dyspeptics, gastric ulcer is common
among them, and their nervous system is
seriously affected
