tions to the capitol but after the con-
tract had been let by the state capital
commission consisting of Gov. Norris,
Attorney General Galen and Secre-
tary of State Yoder, it developed that
the contractors proposed to use lime
rock, quarried at Bedford, Indiana, in
the construction of the wings. This
stone, it was shown, could be laid down
at Helena for about $50, 900 less, on the
job, than the Montana product.
The Billings Chamber of Commerce
thereupon jumped into the game and
started a controversy that has set the
Indiana limerick could be quarried and
dressed much cheaper than the Mon-
tana sandstone they have demonstra
that it is also very much inferior in
quality. According to the tests of the
u. S. geological survey the Indiana
limerick will crush at about 1000
pounds pressure while the Montana
sandstone will resist a pressure of
over s, 1000 pounds. The Billings people
and most of the newspapers throug hout
Montana urge that the home industry
should be patronlzed even if it does
come higher and that in any event,
material of the same quality should be
brought into ompetition-that it was
grossly unfair to permit an inferior
quality of soft Indiana limestone to be
brought into competition with super.
ior quality of Montana sandstone.
The labor unions all over the state
are also passing resolutions demanding
that the home material be used.
The construction of the additions at a
cost ofnot to exceed 5000, 900 was author
lied at the last session of the legisla-
ture. The funds are derived from the
sale of state lands, a grant of 100, 900
acres having been made by the general
government for this purpose upon the
admission of Montana into the Union
as state.

LAST STAGE OF AUTO FEVER.
Its Disease and Must Run Its
Course.

An Abilene autoist says a bust
ness man of this city is Just on the
point of buying a machine. Asked
how he knew, the auto man deliv-
cred the following discourse on au-
tomobilists:
"There are several stages of the
automobile fever through which a
victim passes before he finally sue
cumbs. The man we are talking
about has reached the last one. He
has got where, whenever he sees a
car standing, he will come up and
ask, What is the name of this part?'
and What is this for? and What
does it do If you push this?' s
Nov you co intake it from me
that whenever man does this 1t will
not be long before you see him honk-
honking up and down the streets in
an automobile of his own.
Automobiles starts insidously.
1t fastens itself on its victim unex-
pectedly and before he knows what
is happening he is sending away fol-
catalogues. Then he picks fast
friendship with some man who owns
a machine and as indirectly as pos
sible finds out all he can about the
habits of the thing.
Finally he gets to Che stage
where he considers himself one of
craft. Then he will stop and talk
puto with any person he sees. When
! mar gets this far along it's a cinch
that he is about ready to place an or
~ if his car isn't already on the
way"

LIGHTNING DID SOME GOOD
FOR ONCE IN ITS HISTORY.
Mrs. s. Kirk Had Sight Restored by
Electric Shock.

Mrs. s. Kirk, who has been resi-
dent of this city for eight years, re-
siding now on east Sixth street, has
discovered cure for blindness. In
1898 she was lnJured in a runaway,
one shoulder bone being broken and
her head injured. When she recov-
cred she found that she had lost the
sight of her right eve. This con-
ditlon continued until last week,
Then she took the lightning cure
actually as well as figuratively.
She was sitting by the window
when severe thunder storm came
up and lightning struck the electric
light wire just outside the window,
partly stunning her. She thought
the house was struck and ran out OF
doors.
II felt terrible pain in my fore
fead," said she to the Reflector to-
day." and suffered for several hours.
The next day I was tanning myself
when I accidentally placed the fan
sosthat the sight Of my left eye was
cut off and to my surprise found that
could see out of my right one. l
consulted a physician and the sight
has continued to strengthen until
now /, can read fine print at a dis
lance Of sixteen inches and for all
practical purposes see as well as
with my other eye. OF course 1t is
a great delight to me ana my hus-
band, after partial blindness for six
teen years"
Mrs. Kinks smiles showed her plea
sure and she has right to feel
pleased at the result Of the lightning
oke--though not everybody would
want to tempt a bolt Of electricity
quite as close as that.

Union Pacific Makes Estimate on
Kansas Wheat Crop.

An interesting estimate OF the
/ wheat and corn crops Of Kansas FOL
1908 is contained in a report sent
out yesterday by H. G. haIil. assist
ant general freight ana passenger
agent OF the Union Pacific In KAN
sas City.
This report is prepared from spec
ial reports received from the agents
Of the company and others who are
in position to know accurately the
crop conditions along the lines OF the
Union Pacific in Kansas, and has all
ways been regarded as rellaDle SO far
as the territory covered by that road
is concerned. m
In this report Mr.. Kali says that
the wheat crop is being threshed, and
that threshing has progressed suf-
ficiently to warrant an estimate OF
$4,000, 900 to so, 100000 bushels for
the total crop. OF the corn crop he
says:
THE corn never looked finer and
II the conditions remain normal
there is no reason to doubt that Kan
sas will have corn crop of approx
Imately 219,OOO,OOO bushels. The
critical period will be from August 4 |
TO August is. If the state escapes the
state escapes the hot winds during
hat period, there is every reason to
believe that the figures above given
will be realized when the corn crop
s harvested"
