Rev. DIR. c. H. Merrill of st. Johnsbury
gave brief resume OF the work OF the
committee on Interdenominational Conf
tv which has held one meeting in the
wear in the Baptist church in Montpelier.
The most significant thing to be noted is
the interest of Rev. +. A. Wells, the cor
responding secretary, who has devoted
much time to a study of religious condl-
lions in the state and who now proposes
TO give no his pastorate at Lincoln in or
der to have more time for this purpose at
his disposal. He asks for contributions
to further his efforts as he will be respon-
sibIe for his own support and will need
assistance to further his Investigations.
The committee has made no great prog
ress in bringing churches together but
has exerted some influence and Justified
its existence.

Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers Use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and If
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

Accidental Death From
Discharge of ReuoIuer.

A happy home was suddenly plunged
into grief last Sunday when Harry, the
l3-year old son of Fred and Anna Ben
dix accidently shot himself, death re-
sulting almost instantly.
Saturday some neighbor boys bor-
rowed pair of skates from Harry.
Sunday morning when the latter took
the cows to the river for water he
stopped for the skates but found that
the boys had lost one under the ice.
They were unable to recover it so gave
him .3S calibre six shooter in pay
ment. The father of the boys also
gave him several shells for the gun.
When he got back home again he went
to the barn with his younger brother,
Virgil, to do the feeding, taking the
gun along. They were both inspecting
the workings of the weapon, Harry
looking into the barrel to see if the
cartridge would come around to the
proper place when he pulled the trig-
ger, not knowing anything of tfe dou-
BILE action mechanism. The bullet en-
tered the point OF the eye close TO the
nose. stopping right under the scalp at
the back of his head.
When the gun was discharged Harry
.bbed his eye slightly as if wiping
a say a tear and then told Virgil to run
and tell his mamma he wanted to tell
her something. The smaller boy asked
him if he was dying and he replied that
he was. Virgil then ran to the house
and brought his parents. but they were
too late. Harry having breathed his
last. The little boy, Virgil, was the
only witness to the terrible tragedy.
The funeral was held Monday at 2
O'Clock and the remains were inferred

My Dear Captain Marsh
I have received some advance

lighted with it, as / think you
will be. OF course you will see
many copies later but l think You
will like to have your first perso-
nal copy from me, so I am sending
you one today. I congratulate
you, my dear friend, as we'll as
myself, on the final success Of this
work which We began together so
long ago and have finally brought
to completion. 1t means a great
deal to both of us; to you, just
reward for your years of effort in
the upbuilding of the West, which
will now be more widely known to
your countrymen Of the present
and the future; and to me, my
first substantial literary success,
which I shall always be proud and
happy to feel is so closely associat-
ed with you.
I have advised McC cClurg's to send
materials for a review to the Bis
marck Tribune, the Washburn

Fort Benton, Great Falls, Helena.
and the towns along the Yellow
stone. As ever, Your friend,
