The Supreme Court Of Montana has

A dispatch 10 the Butte (Mout.)
Miner from Helena says:
During the "Muckie" Mcdonald re-
bellion in B2tte in the fall OF 1914, the
saloons were ordered closed by the
state. Colonel Dan J. Donohue, com.
manllng the Second Montana infantry,
seized some liquor from the barroom
or saloou.st who disobeyed the or.
der anu ordered the stutt poured into
gutter. The liquor dealer afterwards
brought suit and secured a verdict for
$500 In the district court In Butte. In
affirming this verdict. the state Su.
preme Court said today:
Under constitutional government
such as ours, the destruction OF pri.

which brooks 10 delay. In failing to

for this reason the oaered evidence
was properly rejected"

said Bowditch-W Co., the popular
druggists, to a Daily Kennebec Journal
man. ION the other hand it is a pleas
to sell medicine when our customers
come in afterward and tell us how much
good it has done them. And that Is why
we like to sell and recommend Solvax. the
great kidney remedy. Ever since we first
introduced Solvax in Augusta, the clerks
have been so busy selling 1t that we have
hard time keeping a sufficient stock. on
hand We have so much faith in this ar
ticle that we are going to guarantee 1t in
the future and will return the money to
any purchaser of Solvax whom it does
not help. This may seem rash but our
customers have said so many good words
in its favor that we do not expect to
have many packages returned"
This shows great faith in Solvax. 1t
really is a most unusual medicine be-
cause it overcomes the worst cases OF
kidney complaint by removing the cause.

FISH and CAME

Pennington Journal-F'rom present
indications there will be no fishing In
the Rangeley Lakes or in Moosehead
before May 10 unless there Is a long
spell Of warm weather and an abund-
ance of rain. At present all Of the
large lakes in the northern section Of
the state are ice bound to a thickness
of three feet or more. On top Of the
ice is a heavy coating Of snow. A
large number of out-of- the State
anglers is expected tc visit Maine this
season.
Bangor Commercial-Sucker are
running well at the long wharf, half
way between the Brewer bridge and
the dam. One man caught Is in one
afternoon and sold them for $1.25.
While the water is cold, they are con-
sidered good eating, but later on, it
will be hard to dispose Of them for
more than a cent each to the foreign
colony on Hancock street. Fishermen
at this wharf have also caught I'M
usual f1sh-square-ta tailed trout, of
which five have been taken during the
past week, Frank O'Brien having been
one Of the lucky anglers.
Last year the first shad was cap-
tured from the Kennebec April "a
by Frank Edgecomb and Al Ridley.
This year the shad fishermen are ex-
pecting to get busy in about eight
more days. Thus far, owing to the
weather and the driftwood in the river
the alewife weirs have not been nut
