EASY TO MIX THIS RECIPE.
Prepare It at Home by Shaking h.
 gredients We'll in a Bottle.

What will appear very inter- esting to many people is the arti- cle taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescrip- ton, as formulated by noted authority, who claims that he has found positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derange- ment, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce, Compound kargou, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and take in tea spoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 A we'll known druggist here al home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the in grediants are all harmless, and Idu DC OOtdtuNo oh oh4ob NOos from any good prescription phar- macy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheum matic afflictions with splendid results, he could see nc reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar acton upon the kidney structure. cleansing th,s. most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood :he foul acids and waste matter which cause sick ness and suffering.

LITTLE HEROINE
 SAVES TWO TRAINS
ve-Year-0ld Girl Discovers Burn ing Bridge Near Benton and Flags Trains Before They
 Dash Into It.

Hot Springs, Dec. 7.-Frantic- ally waving the little red shawl, which she had carelessly placed about her shoulders when she left the modest little cabin home, Millie Tarver, the 12-year-old daughter of Milton Tarver, a sawmill man, residing on tho line of the Hot Springs Western road, saved two trains from running into a burning bridge last night and probably saved to happiness many homes whose holiday sea- son would have been saddened with glooom, but for her courage. Tarver resides with his daugh. ter four miles from Benton and in the vicinity of the long. wooden trestle, which had taken fire after nightfall.
 Tarver's little daughter saw the rays of light which had just started to eat into the wooden structure, and she hurried out over the track to the west, for from this direction she expected the first train to approach.
 A fourth of mile up the track she had trudged when a head light flushed into view. Remov. ing the sha WI from her shoulders she waved it frantically from a stand ia the center of the track.
 Brakes and sand were applied with all the haste possible by Engineer Allen, and when he had done all every human energy could do, to stop his train, 1t was within few feet of the trap. He came down from the cab ex- hausted.
 The little heroine disappeared from the west side of the death trap and had hurried up the track to the east, where passenger train was soon to make it's appear ance. The other train was saved from disaster in the same courage ous manner which had prompted the same heroic work.
 The child will receive Christ mas tree, loaded with presents from Santa Claus, as a reward for heroism.
 Superintendent H. E. Martin, Conductor Loomis aud Engineer Allen regard her as an 18-cara at heroine, and everything she asked for and more will be provided for her Christmas tree.

FAILED TO REGISTER LICENSE.
Dr.. E. H. Black Given Minimum Fine
 Because of an Oversight.

Dr. E. H. Black of Black Bros. dentists, was served with a warrant sworn out by Prosecutor Lake on a charge of practicing his profession without having registered his state license with the county clerk. The doctor appeared before Justice of the Peace Smith and paid the mini. mum fine under the law, S5, and, incidentally got his license on record.
 Dr. Black considered the affair pretty good joke, at his expense and one that he won't give his competitors a chance to repeal soon. He says the law requiring such regulation IS altogether too good to make its violation justifi able.

Sympathy for Bereaved Parents.

Little Earl, son of MT. and Mrs. G. F. Wilkinson died Sum- day afternoon at 2 o'clock. aged Syears, 6 months and 26 days.
 As are all little children so was this one-the idol of the hearts ot the parents. But why mourn for departed friends. They are only as a light and guide gone before to the land that knows no death, and it is relief to know that since it must be that all is well and that just across the river another stands beckoning us to look up higher and follow the straight and narrow path that leads to this better world.
 The sympathy of our people is extended to the bereaved parents.

 The action of the Arkansas railroad commission in issuing orders yesterday requiring all passenger trains originating in Arkansas to run on time or pay heavy penalty is the cause oi the reduction.

ACCIDENTLY KILLED IN OMAHA
Horan Synder, a Rock Greek Bench
RanCher, Meets Tra0iC End

The news of the tragic death of
Dram Synder a farmer of the Rock
creek bench region, reached the city
last week. Mr.. Synder, who left the
Judith basin about a month ago for
Omaha, where his wife successfully
underwent an operation, was fatally
injured in street car accident in the
Nebraska metropolis. Only meagre
particulars Of his death have as yet
been ascertained.
1t appears that on the day of his
DEATH Mr.. syndernvas preparing to
return to Monfa his wife having

of the operatiIAs he was on tn.
way to meet her the accident occurred
and suddenly and without warning, the
messenger of death came, life soon
being extinct.
The victim of the fatal accident was
well known in this vicinity, having re-
sided in the bench country for the
past two years, coming here in 1904
from Nebraska, and settling on Rock
creek bench, near the confluence Of
Ross Fork and the Judith river.
About year ago his father, who
had reached the ripe old age Of 81 died
on the ranch. Besides being survived
by his wife, Mr. Synder leaves a son
and daughter Of tender ages. He also
has several brothers who reside In
this county. His untimely and unex-
pected end comes as a severe Shock
to his friends and family.
The remains of the deceased reached

Fergus County Democrat., 1907-01-01

This company has recently made desert
the Sage creek country, and this land
they intend to irrigate by means Of
several large artesian wells which are
now being driven in that region.
Two wells have already been sunk
to a depth of from 300 to 400 feet. In
the spring experienced well drillers
will again be employed and the work
will be vigorously pushed. Several new
well sites have been selected where
boring will begin in spring. BY means
of these wells large tracts of the level
bench between Utica and Stanford will
be irrigated.
great deal of money has been ex-
pended by the company in the build
ing of fences and the making, Of other
ranch improvements. In the spring
blowing on large scale will begin and
1000 acres will be planted in winter
wheat. Later it is the intention of the
stockholders to raise alfalfa. The soil
is the finest kind of black loan
eighteen inches deep and with an
abundance of water, will produce great
crops of cereals and forage. Within a
year the great tract will be on a pay
ing basis and dividends will follow.
Although artesian water has not yet
been encountered in the drillings it is
certain that if sufficient depth is gain.
ed the water will flow to the surface.
During the winter months this water
will be allowed to acuamclaet in sew
eral large storage reservoirs.
Along the reservoirs and the many
miles of ditching. which will be built,
cottonwood and other trees will be
planted according to the plans of the
company, and forest will arise on the
big Sage creek bench, making the big
farming tract Of the Fergus County
Artesian Irrigating company one Of the
most beautiful and picturesque Sec
tions of the Judith basin.
The large tract is located near the
new Billings & Northern and also near
the new town which is planned for the
bench country.

The Coming Year.

This is the first day of a year which
will, from present indications, mean
more for the upbuilding Of the city OF
Lewistown and the county of Fergus
than any two or three years in their
past history.
During the year which has just
closed. the county and it's chief CITY
have made wonderful strides in all
been brought to the county by the
wonderful opportunities here offered
and this city has felt the uplifting in
fiuence of this immigration. Thousands
of dollars worth of buildings have been
erected in this city and all business
enterprises have fiourished as a result
of the genral revival along all lines OF
industry.
The chances are bright for an even
better year during 1907. The work on
the numerous railway lines will be
pushed with yet greater energy and
at least one line will be built into this
city before the year is over. Just as
soon as these two roads, the Milwaukee
and the Burlington, are completed ac-
ross the county and trains are rushing
across the county on their way to the
Pacific coast, the real era Of prosperity
will set in for Fergus county.
No one doubts but that Lewistown
will be the commercial center of this
great wealth producing region. New
business enterprises of large proper
tions will be formed to assist those
already in existence in the work of ele-
waiting Lewistown to her position OF
commercial supremacy in this part Of
Montana. From the present outlook,
all past records in building will be far
eclipsed during the year 1907. This
will mean the distribution Of large
sums of money among the working
men of the city and every class Of
business will feel the beneficial effects.

pound for his wool than he was offered

pound for his wool than he was offered
by the buyers here on the market.
Another thing. Instead of de-
clining, the price of wool has steadily
advanced and from very natural
causes-causes which the Woolbuying
houses foresaw when they were beating
down the price on Montana wool
Medium wool is now selling for rs and
rs cents and fine medium from 26 cents
to % cents per pound.
Another matter which is proving to
be serious embarrassment to the
WoolgroWers of this state is the at
titude of the administration with ref
erence to the use of forest reserves for
grazing purposes. The government has
set aside millions of acres of the finest
of grazing land as forest reserves and
the withdrawn lands have been so
hedged about with restrictions that it
is next to impossible to secure the
privilege of using the land for grazing
purposes. President Roosevelt, since
his days as plainsman on the Dakota
prairies, has been hostile to the inter-
ests Of the woolgrowers and / can see
but little hope of fair treatment from
the Interior department so long as it
is dominated by the present occupant
Of the White House. .
But by getting together, organizing
and discussing ways and means of self
protection-i might almost say self
preservation-we may be able to cor
rect many of the abuses which now
threaten our business Of woolgrowing.
Without some such concerted action,
matters will go from bad to worse
until the woClgrowing business will be
wiped out Of existence
For these reasons, / would urge the
WoolgroWers of Fergus county, the
greatest woolgrowing county in tn,
world to attend the Salt Lake con-
vention.

Woolgrowers Will Meet

Hon. B. c. White, sheep commissioner
ing to all Of the woolgrowe ers Of This
county the blanks necessary for max
ing reports Of the number Of sheep on
other data desired by the state board
of sheep commissioners concerning the
industry for the year 1906.
On the back Of the blank, Mr. White
has added a few words urging the
Woolgrowers of Fergus county or as
many of them as possible to attend
the meeting Of the National Wool
growers Association which is to be held
In Salt Lake City from January II to
1o inclusive.
1t is highly essential that as many
woolgrowers as possible attend this
great convention. In speaking of its
Importance and of the general wool
situation Mr.. White said to the Demo-
crat:
1T is high time that the wOolgrowers

other class of business. The Sheep
shearers maintain an excellent orsan-
ization and there is no earthly reason
why the men who employ them should
not have just as good or better assoc
iation. Never in the history of the
woolgr wing business in Montana has
there been such urgent necessity for
some sort of combined action as today.
Despite their bold and repeated as
sertions to the contrary, it is now
known to be an absolute fact that
there was combine on between the
great wcolbuying houses last year to
hold UP the sheep owners Of Montana.

1T is accurately estimated that as
a result of this gigantic and iniuuitous
combine the woolgrowers of this state
suffered a loss of 81, ,00O, 900 on their last
years clip.
Before the wool buying season
opened last summer, there We're some
buvers around who gave out informa-
tion to the effect that the price Of
wool showed a downward tendency and
that the prices of 1905 could not pos
sibly prevail. They picked up the
greater part of the wool in Fergus
county at an average of about 20 cents
per pound, the woolgrower not caring
take any chances in the face of the
bear talk indulged in by these buy
ers
There were a few, however, who re-
fused to accept the prices offered them
and consigned their wool to eastern
commission houses

REMAINS OF LEO XIII TO BE
TRANSFERRED FROM CHURCH

Annotated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Rome, Jan. 12.-Though the Vati-
can authorities have taken the great
est pains to prevent the matter being
made public 1t is learned from a re-
liable source that the coming week
will probably witness the transfer of
the body of Pope Leo XIII, from the
Church of st. Peter, in which it has
lain over three years, in its final rest
ing place in the Church of st. John
Lateran. AS nearly all the Cardinals
now in Rome were created by the late
Pope, it is probable that all of them
will take part in the ceremonies, which
well be held at night and be strictly
private. Just why such extreme pre-
cautions should be taken by the church
it is difficult to understand. At the
present day there is no possibility that
the disorders which attended the re-
moval of the body of Pope Plus TX. to
its last resting place could be re-
peated. 1t is known that the Italian
Government offered to cooperate with
the Vatican by lining the entire route
with soldiers and police.
Meanwhile everything has been plac-
