with little Santa Claus" napkins at each
plate. Each child had as much ice cream
as he or she could possibly eat, with cakes
and fancy crackers to go with it.
After lunch the children again played.
Before leaving for home each child was
presented with holly box full of candy,
the boxes being made by the pupils Of the
upper grades. Much credit is due to Miss

LEE, OF A PlMPLE.
Complexions Are Cleared and Pimples
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble.

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one> is urged to pur-
chase it without first Obtaining an ex-
perimental package. Those who have
tried it will find that the fifty-cent
box on sale at Coughlin's Pharmacy,
and all drug stores, is sufficient to
cure the worst cases of eczema,
where the surface affected is not too
large The itching ceases on first ap-
plication. 1t will also cure acne,
tetter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives,
barber'ss and every other form Of itch,
including itching feet. Being flesh
colored and containing no grease, the
presence of poslam on exposed sur
faces, such as the face and hands, is
not perceptible. Water and soap can
not be used in connection with it, as
these irritate and prolong skin
troubles, sometimes even causing
them. .,
AS to the experimental package of
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Labpra-
tories, 80 West Twenty fifth Street,
New York 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, and
to rid the face of pimples in twenty
four hours

MRS. ANDERSON AND DAUGHTER
ygANTs elG DAMAGES.
ASK A! 'i! FIFTY ! ! | ] THOUSAND / ! | ! | / ,
As Result Of Death o. Husband and
Father in Wreck a Youne's Point
on Morning q September IS irst
OF Many Similar suits.

Mrs. Matte Anderson and Miss Ma
bel Anderson, her daughter, yesterday
filed suit for $50,S75 personal dam;
ages against the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company and Engineers w. ]. Bel
senger and Willard Smith. who were
In charge Of the engines which collid-
ed at Young's Point on the morning
Of September 25. when Robert Ander-
son, husband Of Mrs. Anderson and
father Of Mabel Anderson, was one Of
twenty killed. L.
Fifty thousand dollars Of the dam
ages asked for are demanded because
Of his death, while the $375 represents
the property lost by Mrs. Anderson IN
the wreck, which included two suit
cases valued at $36, one alligator grip
valued at SO. a hat valued at $47. an
umbrella valued at IS, . coat valued ct
$25, and wearing apparel and toilet ar
ticles valued at $3.50.
The complaint recites that Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson were passengers on the
ill-fated train and that Mr.. Anderson
paid fare from Helena, amounting to
$7.15. It says that he was q man
capable Of earning $500 annually and
that he was the support OF the plain
tiffs.
Mr.. Hathhorn, who Is attorney for
Mrs. Anderson and her daughter, was
also a passenger on the train, having
been with them to Helena as counsel
for Mr.. Anderson in matters before
the federal court. which had been ad.
justed satisfactorily to Mr.. Anderson
the night before he was killed.
It is said that the suit Is but one
Of many similar ones which will be filed
in the court here In the near future.
There were twenty killed and nine
injured in the wreck and should the
sums demanded be in proportion to
that asked by Mrs. Anderson and hel
daughter, the Northern Pacific com
pany viii probably be asked to pay
damages aggregating s1.5oo. 900.
General Manager Slade, General Su
perintendent Goodell and superintend
ent Nichols were IN the city when the
J suit was fled. but did not comment
upon It. save that Mr.. Slade remarked
that the wreck at Young's Point was q
most deplorable disaster.
