An Unprecented TangIe.

When the noise stopped and the men
ran out, they saw such tangle OF
wires and cross-arms as few people
ever Witnessed The tower over the
middle of the draw is pivoted one.
to allow the draw to swing under the
wires, and every wire crossing the
bridge was on it. There were eight
telegraph wires. twelve telephone
wires. several bridge signal wires. a
clock service wire and the big cables
CARRYING the high tension currents Of
the interurban line and the wires that
light Hamilton.
All these were hanging down river.
Some held and made long loops which
were tangled up into network. 9th
ers broke and made great wire fringe
waving in the air and among the float
ing ice of the river. The big cables
held and wove in and out of the wreck
age down close to the water and the
ice cakes.
The greatest danger was from the
high tension wires of the electric and
interurban companies which carry
$500 volts of current. But the bridge
and the river made such good ground
that the fuses at the power house blew
out instantly, cutting the current of
at once, and no damage was done
from this source.

Hamilton and East Cut Off.

The result was that Hamilton and
the east was cut off from telegraphic
communication with Keokuk. the in
terurban and Hamilton city cars were
stopped, all the telephone companies
connections east were dead, and the
Hamilton lighting service, both domes-
tic and street, was put out of commits
sion.
The only wire connection left be-
tween Keokuk and the east was the
group of four wires strung high over
the river by the Mississippi Valley
Telephone company of Illinois, the
second longest stretch of wire in the
world, which stood the wind and held
intact. But this Illinois company has
no Keokuk connection now.
The Wabash railroad wires were
down east Of Hamilton. as we'll as
across the bridge, for awhile, but were
soon put into service again. The sleet
followed by the high wind. made the
hardest possible combination of wealth
err for wires, and there was trouble
everywhere in this section.

If there is futtering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of a
weakness OF the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. 1t is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene-
fit he will return your money.

K TALKING ABOUT THE VALLEY X

The Wilderness TransfOrmed.-"It
is simply amazing to see what has been
accomplished in this section within
just the past two or three yers," said
E. B. Barney of Springfield, Mass,
who was in Brownsville a day or so
ago on prospecting trip. 81 have
passed through South Texas number
of times, in past years, on my way
to Chiapas. Mexico, to visit my plan
tation, he continued, land / used
to think it the most desolate country
on earth Honestly, | wondered what
under the sun God made such a land
for. Nothing but waste of brush
and cactus met the eye, as far as it
could reach, and hardly a living thing
was seen for miles and miles except
perhaps an occasional jack rabbit or
coyote Now, nearly all the way down
from, say, Mariana it is like riding
through continuous garden. The
development in this valley particular
ly is almost beyond belief. when one
realizes that it has nearly all been
done within the past two years. 1t is
veritable transformation of the

EXTRA PERFORMANCE
OF GREAT PLAY
THE SHEPHERD KING" WILL BE
GIVEN At THE HARNois
WEEK AFTER NEXT.

Tho shepherd Kins," pronounced
by tho New York Sun to be another
.Ben Hur," III indeed not its su-
perior. Is to be produced at the
Harnois theater two nights, Monday
and Tuesday, October 4 and 8. Special
matinee Tuesday.
Twenty-six calcium lights are car
ried and the production has the rep
utation of carrying the greatest light
effects extant.
w. A. Thompson, otherwise known
as Colonel BILL" the advance agent,
arrived i'm the city today. Colonel
Thompson Is n well-knnwn Montana
figure. having been publicity mana
ger for the fusion forces in what
is known as tho Clark Heinza fusion
campaign. Now. however. no has
eschewed politics and has returned to
his first love-the theatrical business.
He said he noted many improvements
In Missoula and was moro than graft
fled at Its substantial progress.
But to revert TO the show BUSH
ness" said lie. u would first explain
the reason for a two-night stand In
your city. Such an enormous pro-
night. 1t Is too large to be moved
daily. The play has been on the road
for eight years. but this liz the first
western visit. As If to show its pop
ular.ty. ! would call attention to the
fact that il was produced 16 weeks
In New York, 20 weeks In Boston. 20
weeks in Chicago and IL In Baltimore,
this latter being the record for the
Oriole city II has never failed to
draw crowded houses at each perform
ance.
The play Is under the management
of w. A. Brady and has Wright
Lorimer for its star. Another feature
is tho fact that tho same stage crew
is with the production as at the start
and Mr.. Lorimer thinks as much of
them as he does the actors The
scenic effects are SO pronounced and
tho stage settings so important. that
as much depends upon the stage crew
az upon tho actors.
Il have measured your local play
house from cellar to rigging loft and
/ find it ample for the entire pro-
ductinn.
II hope that during the visit of the
company every resident of the city will
take advantage of the opportunity to
see the production. which as the New
York sun says Is another Ben Hur.'
| would explain the two night stand
feature. The production Is one that
grows upon Its auditors and II Is gen.
orally the case that those who wit
ness the first production. invariably
go again. And, as stated. the pro-
duction Ii too great proportions to
be yanked out for one night stands"

PARADISE FOR DUCKS
IS NOT At ALbERTON

There was an atmosphere of wrath
about the Quick Lunch restaurant
yesterday. just because the proprietor
w. T. Clifford. spent all of cold
Sunday at Abortion In search of
ducks Seven hundred and fifty seven
miles did Clifford walk and his luck
was SO poor that he didn't even hear
a duck "quack." Now. the real rea-
son Of the reddish haze that en-
veioped the Quick Lunch yesterday lies
not in the proprietor's hard luck
for every hunter takes that chance
but In the fact that the trip to the
Puget Sounds new town was made
on the strength OF glowing pictures
of the thousands of mallards to be
found there, painted Saturday by a
number of Gifford's friends. Yester-
day he knew that there wasn't a duck
within 1000 miles of Alberton and yes
terday he found out that his friends
knew this on Saturday.

BACK FROM THE EAST
WITH GOODS
MANAGER coEN OF THE GOLDEN
RULE STORE RETURNS
FROM LONG TRIP.

]. c. Coen, manager of the Golden
Rule store, has returned from an
eastern purchasing trip of six weeks
and is enthusiastic over tho prospects
of the fall and winter trade with the
stock of goods which he has selected
for his customers. Most of Mr.. Coen's
time was spent in New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago and he found a
class of goods that he believes will
please Missoula people.
Il found the market rather firm, !"
said Mr.. coen To Muscular man
yesterday. 1t is not overstocked,
most of the manufacturers have been
very conservative in their provisions
for the seasons trade, but there are
larger stocks than IA year ago. All
along the line the prices are stiffen-
ing: cotton goods are becoming more
expensive and wooden goods are al
ready higher than they were. But
caught the market at favorable
time and have made purchases that
am sure will please.
My trip this time was specially
hard as we are seeking new lines of
goods-goods of better quality than
We have ever handled beforehand
this required more careful attention
and closer inspection than If l had
been buying old lines. We have given
special attention To the ready-to-wear
goods for both men and women. In
mems clothing We have secured the
high-ciass Stein-Bloch and the Fech-
helmer- Fischcl lines. which are stand
ard everywhere. We will have some
thing better than ever to offer our
men customers.
In the women's department we will
have fall and winter stock that will
surpass in quality anything We have
ever shown here. Our new millinery
department you already know about:
In this we shall have something that
will specially interest the ladies. The
rcads-to-waar suits for women that
we have this fall are the best that
could be bought. l find. They are
surely fine and you may depend upon
IL that they are right up to the min
ute.
We are planning our formal fall
opening. II will be. l think. an event
of more than passing interest In the
local mercantile world. The exact date
will be announced soon: we cannot
tell just when we shall be ready but
the opening will be held as soon as
