LOVING CUP
TO CHAMPIONS I \ IL 10
WINNERS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
LEAGUE TO GET PRIZE.

AT a recent meeting OF the repre-
sentatives of the various Sunday
schools that belong to the city Sunday
School Athletic league 1t was decided
to offer a silver loving cup to the bas-
ketball team winning the largest num-
Der Of games this season. The cup
selected is a beautiful specimen OF
the silversmith's art, being Is inches
high and six in diameter. It is free
Of all unnecessary decorations, being
plain in design but beautiful in ap-
spearance. It is on exhibition at Hag.
erty's tewelry store.
In order to u funds with which
to purchase the cup 1t was decided to
charge 10 cents admission to the re
naming games on the schedule. As
but four games remain to be played
and the fact that the standing Of the
clubs is so close will cause the re-
naming games to be the hardest
fought of the series.
Baseball will be the next game to be
played and Physical Director Jess
Hopkins, who is secretary of the
league, was instructed to draw up a
schedule of baseball games to be
played during the summer. A cup
will also be offered to the champion
baseball team in the league.
The league has thus far been a
great success and the men behind the
league feel we'll satisfied. It has full.
filled the purpose for which it was or.
gained and nothing will be spared to
keep up interest in it.

RESIGNS AS RECEIVER or LAND
OFFICE.
WILL TAKE UP FARMING
Mr.. 7ever's Ranch Interests Demand
His Entire Attention-Has Made
Excellent Public oHicer-His sue
cessor Has Not Yet Been Named.

From Sundays Daily
G. c. Bever, receiver of the Billings
land office has resigned his position
and will in the future devote his en-
tire time and attention to ranch in
terests in Sweet Grass county.
Mr.. Bever acquired the ranch prop
erty shortly after he accepted the posi-
lion of receiver Of the local land office.
The great demand for land and the
activity in land matters makes it i'm
perative for him to ear for his per-
sonal interests. The results of last
years cultivation returned Mr., Beyer
such handsome profits that he decid-
ed some time ago to resign from the
federal position and had it not been
for the resignation Of 3. p. Esselstyn
is register, which occurred early in
August, Mr.. Bever would have re-
signed at that time, as the duties in
cumbent upon him at his ranch, were
such as to demand his entire time.
While this has been under contem-
plation for some time by Mr.. Bever,
yet there has been no speculation or
ak as to his successor in the of
ice.
Mr.. Bever has made an excellent
public official and is perhaps the best
known man in this section of Mon.
sana. The matter Of his resignation
aas long been expected, and his init
mate friends have known for several
months that he had resigned.
Mr.. Bever is the president of n.
Billings Chamber of Commerce and he
will still remain in that position. He
mas done more for Eastern M~ontara
shan perhaps any one man in this sec.
ion of the state and with the land
office position out of his way, will still
pc in a position to do more. He has
oeens active in public life and the fact
that he will remain a resident Of
Billings will be a matter of satisfac
lion to the citizens OF this city.

Says Many Persons Here Can BE Made
Happy Again BY Using 1t.
There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol
lowing advice will be highly appre-
lciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one N Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these we'll in a bottle
and take in t%easpoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty Of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
Tins Of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture,
and in most cases a permanent cure
is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues Of the kidneys SO that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous other
diseases. Every man or woman here
who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take If our
readers ask them.
