"Four months ago I became
chilled through and through
by getting my feet wet.
"The next morning I was
stiff and sore with a severe
cold which had settled all over
my body. The blood seemed to
rush to my head, causing dizzi-
ness and binding headaches.
GAS soon as Peruna was re-
commended to me I decided to
give it a trial and am pleased
to say that it cured me after
I had used it only two months.

chitect,s once Of the treasury depart
ment, was inSBillings yesterday Tor the
purpose Of gathering data to enable
him to make 9 recommendation as to
the location OF a site for the federal
building which congress made an an
preparation for last spring. MI. Nc
DoWell expects to stay IN the city
today and will meet the owners OF the
sites offered at the Northern hotel
tits morning. He Is also prepared to
consider the offers OF other property
owners, who have available sites for
a public building.
Accompanied BY Dr.. o. 2. Prickett.

Dowell took an automobile trip over
the city visiting the sites offered, Of
which there are thirteen. A trip 20
the rimrock to the north Of the city
was also made 50 that Nj. Mcdowell
could get an idea rs to the central
location Of the city.
Report is Confidential.
Mr.. Mcdowell stated last night that
his report on a site for the Billings
federal building would only be made
public by the treasury department and
that for that reason he could not give
out anything as to the site he would
decide upon.
Among the points to be considered
in the selection Of a site Mr.. Mcdowell
gave: Distance from the depot, cen.
ter Of population, business center
cross streets through the city and the
business streets.
Last night at the Billings club he
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1908-08-04

met a number OF the business men,
as he desired to get an idea Of where
popular opinion would locate the pub
lie building before making his recon-
mendation.
It is known that there are but few
OF the sites offered that have the re-
quired frontage. Unless the building
is located within q distance Of 60 rods
from the new depot, the government
will be forced to pay extra for carry
ing the mail from the depot. Owing
to the fact that at least $4,000 is de-
rived yearly from rent Of lock boxes
and the location Of the postofice too
far from the business center would
reduce this revenue, the government
will not make the mistake it did in
Butte by placing the postomce too far
from the business center. Numerous
complaints on this account have been
made in Butte and It is probable that
another sub-station will be established
there.
Goes 70 Livingston Next.
Nj. Mcdowell stated to those who
accompanied him on his trip about
the city yesterday that proximity to
the railroad yards would be avoided
50 far as possible on account Of the
noise Of the switch engines disturb
ing the federal court. Location OF q
site as to protection from storm is
also a minor consideration.
From Billings Mr.. Mcdowell will go
to Livingston, where he will select q
site for q public building in that city.
After that he will tour the National
park and will then make a trip to Pc
catello, Ida, to select another site for
a building.

In q telegram to the sheriff the gov
ernor indicates the policy he will pur-
sue, saying:
II the prisoner is guilty q lawful.
conviction is absolutely n Lynch
ing is murder whether the prisoner is
guilty or not. The law requires the
governor to protect life. The good.
name Of the state Is stained BY lynch
ing and the state government Is OBJ
liged BY law to take all necessary pre-
cautions to prevent lynching. Here
after the state will take 1t, whether
requested to or not, upon q reasonable
ground for fearing such an unlawful
action, but It always prefers to fur
nish help to local authorities. II ap-
plication is made troops win report to
the governor and recognize no other
orders except from him through their
officers"
It is expected here that troops Of
the First regiment at Louisville will
be sent to guard Browder during his
