WILL REACH HALF MILLION
Damage Caused by Breaking of Dam
Near Helena, Mont,

Helena, Mont, April / Two lives
have been lost, the villages of Hauser
Lake and Craig have been destroyed,
a dozen cabins at Oxbow, the site of
another dam, have been swept away,
railroad traffic has been tied up and
ranchers have lost heavily in live
stock and buildings as the result of
the bursting of the 100000 dam at
Lake Hauser. Many thrilling escapes
from death have been reported The
loss from the flood will reach $500 900.
Great Northern Agent Stewart of
Wolf Creek reports that the track
from Wolf Creek east as far as he can
see is flooded to a depth of three feet
and that for three miles or more it is
completely washed out and in places
overturned, while the rails are twist
ed and bent in every shape by the
foaming waters. Twenty-eight miles
of track are under water
II is figured conservatively that for
at least twenty days no trains can go
over the line and no repair work can
be done until the water between Wolf
Creek and Cascade recedes.
The washing out of this stretch of
track between Wolf Creek and Cas-
cade will tie up practically the entire
traffic of the Great Northern between
Helena and St. Paul.

sAS' val y cI S'iCSSCi,
Chester, Pa, April 1 The most
serious disturbance which has marked
the strike of the motormen and con-
ductors of the Chester Traction COM
pany resulted in two employees of the
company being shot, but not seriously
injured. The company attempted to
operate car and William Borgmann,
who acted as motorman, was shot in
the foot during an attack on the troll
ley by a large crowd of strike SYM
pathizers. Men swarmed from all
sides. The trolley pole was pulled
from the wire, the controller was
taken from Bergman and the crowd
beat him and the conductor. Bricks,
pieces of lead pipe and other missiles
were thrown and every window in the
yer shots were fred. but Borgmann
was the only man hit A strong de-
tachment of police rushed up and,
after struggle, succeeded in driving
the crowd back Earlier in the day
William Griesemer, a claim agent of
the company, was shot in the leg
while leading squad of forty men
who had been imported to take the
places of the strikers in the car barns.
In hand to hand fight the imported
workers were routed and driven to
shelter in the barn.
Mayor Johnson came to the scene
and strongly condemned the traction
company for attempting to resume
service without his permission.

HATS OFF TO THE SUFFRAGISTS.

Between times of pricing Merry
Widow hats and deciding on Copen
hagen blue dresses the female mind
nowadays is fairly excited over
suffragetting. Suffragetting, so fal
as it may be understood by the lay
mind receiving it's information by
way of cable dispatches and special
kilograms to the newspapers, consists
in deputation of square-shouldered
ladies calling at a closed and bottled
official door and clamoring for their
rights. Then a few of them are
arrested, their pictures are printed,
and the more prominent of them
come over to this country to lecture.
Far be it from us to step in where
angels fear to tread, but it seems to
the unprejudiced, unbiased mind
that the lady whose title and social
qualifications have been duly blaz-
oned to an interested populace as a
suffragetting lecturess is on the
wrong tack, so to speak, when she
advises her unsuffragized sisters over
here to demand the ballot, and to
adopt rough measures if they don't
get it.
When she intimate that refusing
to speak to their husbands on any
subject whatever until they yield
and give the wives the vote will
bring them around, she is barking
up the wrong tree No man is going
to yield very much if he is placed
incommunicada during the spring
clothes season. Neither is the visit.
ing lady dealing the right cards
when she advertises the use of force.
How truly has the poet put 1t when
he says:
You may beat. you may buldgeon a man if
you WILL
You may snatch him baldheaded- have
his way still.
All that is necessary when a man
sees symptoms of suffragetting in
his wife is for him to sit down calmly
and dignifedly and argue the matter
with her; show her her lack OF
qualifications and information as to
men and tickets and platforms.
Woman is reasonable, and once she
understands, she understands.
Then when man gets word from
his ward boss as to the candidate
he shall help to elect he will at
least have the consolation of having
made politics plain to his wife.

PRESCRIPTION IS SAID
TO CURE RHEUMATISM
Fine Home Recipe to Relieve Rheuma.
tism and Kidney Trouble
Promptly.

The large New York health pub
LEGATION tells it's readers of a number
of simple and safe prescriptions
that can be made at home. The
following, however, for the cure of
rheumatism and kidney and bladder
troubles receives the greatest praise,
viz, Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapar-
lila, three ounces. These simple,
harmless ingredients can be OBJ
tanned at any good prescription
pharmacy at little cost and ale
mixed by shaking we'll in bottle.
The dose for adults is teaspoon
full after each meal and again at
bedtime, drinking a full tumblerful
of water after each dose. It is
further stated that this prescription
is a positive remedy for kidney
trouble and lame back, weak blad-
der and urinary difficulties, espec-
tally of the elderly people, and one
of the best things to be used in
rheumatic Affections, relieving the
aches and pains and reducing the
swellings. ....
A well-known local druggist
states that this mixture acts directly
upon the eliminative tissues of the
kidneys; cleanses these sponge-like
organs and gives them power to
sift and strain the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid from the
blood which is the cause of rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and hand to some
sufferer which would certainly be
an act of humanity.
