The stress and strain OF the siren

makes stomach troubles. Five people

ago with sick headache, dizziness, fiat.
ulence, distress after eating, specks
before the eyes, bloating, nervousness,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least
two out Of three in Billings, and other
towns, should use Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets. Nothing else is as safe, yet eff
fective; nothing else can be SO thor
oughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from indigestion as Mi-o-na.
So reliable is Mi-o-na that the Chap

box they sell, give a guarantee to re-
fund the money unless the remedy
cures.

London, June 4.-Reports from India
state that the famine now prevailing
is constantly growing worse and that
there are now a million natives on the

but Its efforts have resulted in but

During the coming six months It
is estimated that there will be at

rect examination of John A. Benson,
the chief defense al to the part Ben
son played in the alleged land frauds
of 1902 was closed today in the Hyde,
Benson, Dimond and Schneider trial.
Benson, who has been on the stand
for two days, closed his Testimony
with a brief outline of the business
relations he had with Hyde prior to
signing a contract with him, and after
it was rescinded. He stated that they
were business associates, and that he
(Benson) carried his designs to such
ian extent as to visit Washington to
see clerks in the land office for the
purpose of having the cases expedited.
He denied, however, that any great
volume of applications were filed by
him through Hyde's office, or that
Hyde filed through his Office. He was
questioned as to a great number Of Sc
lections on file here in which he ap-
peared as an assignee, and of which a
number of his clerks appeared as the
applicants.
Witness denied that he ever took
an active part in furthering sale Of
Oregon lieu selections after he was
apprised that they were defective.

the portico to review the garrison Of
Paris, two sharp reports startled the
vast assembly. For the instant every
one believed that President Fallieres
had been shot.
Confusion Followed.
A scene OF indescribable confusion
followed and many women present
shrieked and tainted. The crowds
surged forward but quickly broke and
scattered when the members OF the
republican guard, who lined the trans
cept rushed in. The assailant was
struck down. "A fierce knot OF soldiers
were struggling over Major Dreyfus
and his foul assailant. Major Drey-
fus, his halwklike features pale as
death, but manifesting complete com.
posture, was holding up his hand from
which blood. was streaming, while the
soldiers could with difficulty prevent
the enraged crowd from beating and
kicking the man upon the floor.
Upon the command Of Project of
Police Lepine, who was immediately
on the scene, the assailant was drag
ged to his feet. He presented a pitia-
Bile sight. From a blood smeared face
his wild eyes looked around appealing
as # for some sympathy but they met
only the angry crowd and his ears
heard only i~mprecations upon his
foul deed. ss
The mans clothing was in shreds
and his coast and vest had been liter
ally torn from his body.
Dreyfus' Wound Dressed.
Major Dreyfus. accompanied by his
brother Matthew. who was the hrst to
strike the assassin after he fred, DR..
Pozzi and several other friends. was
led away to the mayors Office opposite
the Pantheon where his wound was
dressed. The doctors found that the
bullet had entered his wrist.
In the meantime q Gordon was
formed around the assailant who, I'M
der the direction Of M. Lepine, was
conducted to a side entrance, Of the
Pantheon.
All the time the vast multitude
packing the sidewalks and crowding
the windows on the streets bordering
on the Pantheon had no suspicion OF
the excitement that ragged in the tenn
Pile. The appearance OF President
Fallieres at the portico had been
greeted with a great cheer which
drowned the cries Of down with
Dreyfus!!" and Long live the army
which came from a hand of about 500
men belonging to an association
known az ia Juesene Catholique''
who had stationed themselves on q
corner opposite. Immediately after
the cheering, regiment after regiment
came swinging by to the blare Of
trumpets and the sound Of martial
music.
The crowds around the Pantheon
were driven back and all the streets
leading to the temple were barred.
Twenty arrests have been made.
