THE COLDPROOF MINER.

"Yes, l am a coal miner" said the eXcursionist in black. You can tell it by my pallor and the blush color of my nostrils and tongue, due to the inhalation of coal dust
 Mining is hard work, dangerous work, but there's one good thing about it-it keeps you from catching cold. In this hot July weather, the same as in the blizzards of Febru- ary, the temperature and the humid ity of the mines are always the same and this makes miners, somehow, coldproof In fact, l never had a cold in my life"

Many Bills Are Slaughtered.

HELENA, Feb, l7.-In the natter oil
killing bills, the house of the eleventh
Legislative assembly, perhaps. has
established the record. Since the
opening of the session 343 house bills
have been introduced, only a few OF
which have reached the governor.
The house up to date has passed 81
bills on third reading and has killed,
%summarily or otherwise, Is measures.
Some of the bills passed on third
reading and some of those killed in
the house were senate measures. AL.
though only So bills have been passed
on third reading by the house, there
are many that have keen approved
either in committee of the whole or
favorably considered on the reports
of the committees which recommended
them, and these bills, for the most
part, will reach the senate.
The record for slaughter has not
been so great in the senate, although
many bills have met their fate in the
upper house. The senate enjoys the
distinction of having killed two bills
on third Notwithstanding that is
unusual, if not unique.

Two Accidental Deaths.

HELENA, Feb. 16.-Two men were
accidentally killed in this city tonight.
George Peabody was found near the
Broadwater ice pond, where he had
fallen from his wagon and had his
head crushed. He was one of the early
stage drivers of Montana and had for
some time been engaged in teaming in
and about the city.
Shortly before midnight Chief Elan
merry found another man whose iden.
tity is unknown, under the Lyndale
bridge near the depot, where he had
fallen. 1t is the belief of the authori-
ties that he had been drinking and,
losing his balance while walking
along the track, fell from the bridge
and was killed.

Will Benefit Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-President
Roosevelt, Secretary Garfield and
Commissioners bennett of the general
land office, conferred today with Sen
ators McCumber Hans rough and
Representatives Marshall and Gronna
of North Dakota, regarding 1,SOO
cases of public land upon which entry
was made for agricultural purposes
and completion of final proof was
suspended on the ground that the
lands contain valuable coal deposits.
The claim of the North Dakota dele.
CATION is that in IS per cent of these
entries the coal deposits are of little
value and the agricultural worth of
the lands is much greater. The presi.
dent directed the commissioner of the
general land Office to give the benefit
of the doubt to the settlers. This
means that unless the coal deposits
are clearly of considerable value the
settlers will be allowed to complete
their final proofs.
