The object Of the excursion which
visited every town on the new road
between Butte and Miles City. was
to get acquainted with the people
and to herald Butte's advantages
as market town. It had been the
original intention of those who plan
ned the trip to make an over night
stop at this place, but the wreck up
the line which delayed them necess-
itated change OF schedule and cut
down the stop here to two hours.
An informal reception had been
planned for the visitors at the Grand
Hotel by the Commercial Club, but
the short stay did not allow of this
being pulled off. Two large bon
fires We're kept burning in front OF
the hotel around which the band
formed to discourse sweet strains OF
music. the rest Of the bunch in the
meantime being kept busy in meet
ing the people and partaking of re-

to the citizens of Roundup which

MINERS STILL
REMAIN IDLE
No Settlement Reached ON TOnnaAe .
Scale for Roundup and Mine
Remains Shut Down.

No settlement has been reached
regarding the tonnage scale for the
coal mine at this place and as a
consequence mine No. remains
idle There have been no new de-
velopments in the matter and it is
difficult at this time to predict
what the outcome will be. The
miners persist that 75c is a fare
scale while the operators maintain
that zoe is all they will pay.

SKIN CURE A SIMPLE WASH.
External Remedy for Eczema Sufferers
Greatly Simplifies the Treatment.

If you are suffering from any burning
itching skin disease, the only way to cure
it is to get right after the real trouble
to cure the skin itself.
Thousands of patients have suffered fol
months in vain attempts to doctor theil
blood when the whole trouble was bacill
feeding upon the skin and causing the
unsightly blotches and sores.
Skin specialists now prescribe a simple
liquid wash, easy to apply, which gives
instant relief. This remedy is composed
of oil of wintergreen to which are added
healing vegetable remedies Oil of win
tergreen alone will not cure, but a coterie
of experts in Chicago, headed by a noted
specialist, experimental with other medi
cinal properties until they found the
proper preparation. The result of theil
efforts is called d. d. D. Prescription, a
sure specific for the cure of skin diseases
Here is only one instance of what D
ID. ID. Prescription has done: MY little
girls head was a running sore. d. ID. D.
Prescription has cured her sound and
well. B. i. Hipp, Phil Cambell, Ala.
If you are suffering from any skin dis
ease. would it not pay you to try one
bottle of d. d. d. Prescription? You
probably have spent many times the cost
of one bottle vainly trying to stop that
awful burning itch. Brooks House Phar
macy, Brattleboro, Vt. Call at our store
for free booklet on the care and nutri
ton of the skin with suggestions as to the
use of ID. d. d. Soap. This valuable
booklet is absolutely free.
