DEATH OF p. LARSON.
Passes Away at Helena
After Two Years
Illness.

Peter Larson of Helena, the well
known millionaire mining man and
railroad contractor, died Friday night
at Helena after a'two years illness.
Mr.. Larson, who came to this coun-
try SO years ago, a penniless youth
but 20 years Of age, was conceded to
he the wealthiest man in the north
west with the exception of Senator
William A. Clark of Montana. His
wealth probably exceeds $10000,000,
and by some people he was rated as
being worth more than $20,00O,OOO.
He and Thomas Greenough of Mis-
sonia at one time owned the Morning
mine at Mullan. The property was
sold less than two years ago to the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
for S3OOO,0O0 Mr.. Larson owned a
half interest of the property.
Mr.. Larson was born in 1S49 on the
Danish island Of Fyen. In 1869 he
came to this country and went to work
on the jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, going later to Arkansas,
where he first began railroad work.
His contracts for railroad building
were the first ventures to make him
rich. Among other lines Mr.. Larson
built the Wallace issoula branch of
the Northern Pacific, the Spokane
Falls & Northern, and the Washington
Central. He also had large banking
and timber interests.
In 1880 Mr.. Larson welded Miss Mo
ran of Cascade, Iowa.
Mr.. Larsons illness and death was
an indirect result of the Clallam dis
aster, for he was on the i'll fated
steamer, bound for Victoria, B. c.. and
after the wreck was afloat in the cold
Water for several hours before he was
finally rescued. Cirrhosis of the liver
resulted and eventually caused his
death. About a year ago he Joined
the Roman Catholic church at Helena.

A Shrewd Economist

himself upon his scripturdl learning.
1t was the custom in the village church
Sunday mornings for all the inhabitants 10
attend. and Patrick, who never misseI a

One Sabbath, when the minister was reading
from the Bible, several diguitarieS were pres
cnt from another town, and IN an cudeLvor
TO wax particularly eloquent the pastor became
slightly confused and SAID " And there were
five thousand loaveS and three fishes To feed
the multitude of seven" And then To- point
his moral and adorn his tale he looked straight
1T the intallble Pat and said, And sure, Pat,
YOU couldn't do that, now could vou,"
lndade. could said Pat, and the sermon
continued
That fight, however. when the preacher
reached his home and thought over his morn
ing sermon, II dawned on him that he had made
a serious error concerning the loaveS and the
fishes. Accordingly the next Sunday he rose
IN the pulpit and SAID in explanation, Breth-
rem, last Sabbath | made a mistake and said
that there were five thousand loaveS and three
fishes 10 feed the multitude of seven but what
| should have SAID was that there were seven
loaveS and three fishes to feed the multitude of
five thousand" And then he looked al Pat
again and said, And now, Pat sure YOU could
not do that; could you2"

Will Refund Money if Mi-o-na Fails
to Cure.

You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na

ner.
The answer is simple and conclu-
sive.
Other medicines for stomach
troubles merely digest the food, white
Mi-O-na strengthens the whole diges-
tive system so that it soon becomes
able to care for all tile food that is
eaten.
If you do not use your arm or leg for
a month. the muscles become flabby
and weak and you have to resort to
artificial help. 1t is the same way with
the stomach muscles. If they are not
necessary to continue using digestive
with the food you eat.
On the other hand, when you use
Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows 50
strong that you can give up the use of
medicine.
Mi-o-na costs SOC, box and does
more real good than dozen boxes of
ordinary digestive tablets. The proof
of this is shown in the fact that a
guarantee. absolute and unqualified, is
given by Bowditch, Webster & Co. of
Augusta and Geo. ". Dorr Of Water
