The wrestling match between
Hallberg Of Brainerd, Mimi, and
PEGGY of Cresco. Iowa, which was
to have taken place here last Fri
day evening, failed to materialize,
PEGGY having sustained such in
juries in an automobile accident
as prevented his appearance on
the mat. The forfeit money.
therefore, went to Hallberg. In
view Of the fact, however. that
PEGGY asked a postponement and
was willing to increase the amount
of the stakes, the taking Of his
forfeit money was in questionable
taste, to say the least. 1t is not
considered good craftsmanship to
take advantage Of such a misfor.
tune. 1t is hoped that another
match can be arranged as soon as
PEGGY is able to resume work.

oBsERvANT PEOPLE ARE JAPs,
Trouble Is They Are Liable to Carry

The Japanese are a most initiative
and observant people and copy every
thing they see with minute fidelity. A
Newport man recently engaged a
Japanese valet, who was very atten-
tive and satisfactory.
His duties rarely took him into the
kitchen, but when he had a chance
OF watching the cook he did so with
extraordinary interest.
The cook caught a severe chill and
left somewhat suddenly. The lady
of the house was in despair, as she
could not replace her.
At last the valet announced diff

little and the mistress gladly agreed
to give him a trial.
The first thing he started on was
the potatoes. He took off his shoes
and socks and put his feet in a bath
of hot mustard and water.
The lady wanted to know what on
earth he was doing. He replied that
he saw the cook do that when she
was peeling the potatoes, and nothing
would persuade him that this was not
a necessary part of the process.

Man with "Hen Fruit" Refused Admit

A theatrical company that played in
repertoire in country villages barred a
citizen of town, not long ago, when
he entered the theater with a basket
after having purchased ticket. Just
as he was going in, the cover of the
basket unaccountablt slipped off, re-
vealing two dozen eggs.
"Hi!" said the ticket taker. This
isn't Easter! Where are you going
with them eggs?"
None O. your business! Here's my
ticket, all paid for an reg'lar!" de-
clared the citizen.
"Well, you don't take any eggs inside
while I'm here" said the ticket taker;
and then the other saw the reason his
burden was suspected and roared
with laughter.
He left the eggs in charge of the
man at the box office and entered; and
he enjoyed every moment of the
show. When it was ever, the manager
returned the eggs to him. and said:

Bee MarmaIade.

The analysis of a remarkable Jap
anese confection is reported in a re.
cent bulletin of the College of Agri.
culture in Tokyo. This is no less than
bee marmalade, said to be made
of young wild bees and seasoned with
soy, The results of the analysis show
that the reputed composition of the
sweetmeat is quite correct. The mar
malade is said to be exported in air
tight tin cans. A French commentator
remarks sarcastically that it will
doubtless be welcomed at tables
where they serve grilled locuBts as in

Simple Remedy for Locklaw.

Cal Johnson, an old-time printer,
was in the city recently and claims to
have simple and effective cure for
lockiaw, one that never fails. Re-
membering his boyhood days when the
rusty nail was always lying in wait
for the barefoot boy and serving as a
menace to all who attempted to pass
the summer months without shoes on
their feet Mr.. Johnson thinks that his
advice may be of some use to the ia
theirs al mothers who still have bare
foot boys.

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. 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 inyalu-
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 dcrange

BRIDGE WATTS
FOR ELECTION

Plans for a concrete bridge at
Monroe street. prepared in City
Engineer Ralstons office, were fin
ally adopted by the city council
last night, and it is believed that
work on the structure may actually
be begun in a comparatively short
time. The plans call for rather
plain but neat structure, with a 30
foot roadway and nine foot side.
walks on either side.
Three arches, the main one 240
feet across and the smaller ones at
either end 1870 feet across, accord
ing to the plans, will be under the
bridge, which can be built for
about 1896, 900, according to Rails
toms estimate. Councilman Dalke
started something that was hard to
stop, though, sort Of prediction
thorn, in the estimation of some OF
the others present, when he moved
that the plans be adopted and that
the board of public works be in
structed to go right ahead with the
work, which has been hanging fire
for many months.
At a previous meeting. when the
plans were up for consideration,
Councilman Lambert moved that
the board of public works be in
structed to go ahead and advertise
for bids, consequently Dalke
amended his motion to the effect
that the board either advertise for
bids or go ahead with the day labor
plan. The day labor plan was op-
posed by Lambert, who maintained
that the city would be put to
greater expense than if they should
have the bridge built by some re-
putable firm, as a plant, which
would be left on hand as mere
junk would have to be purchased.
Schiller then called attention to
the fact that there was only 100000
in the bridge fund at the present
time and that after the election, so
near at hand, perhaps a sufficient
amount of money for the construc-
ton of the bridge would not be
voted. but that he piers could be

BUTTE, April est will be ne
cessary to open the stomach of
Terrence OGrady, of Billings, in
an effort to save his life, according
to DR.. Charles Miller, physician for
Yellowstone county, who next
week will operate upon O'Grady
for peritonitis.
O'Grady is known as the HUI

directly due to his practice OF
swallowing needles, tacks, staples

hardware. O'Grady declares his
abnormal practice has been in
duced by an Unsuitable craving
which nothing seemed to appease
except something that made his
stomach feel heavy.
