Constitution League Appeal Wants Assistance in the Fight for the Soldiers Broad Objects Stated Wants Support in the Effort to Secure Fair Deal for All Citizens Under the Constitution The Constitution League appeals to patriotic citizens throughout the United States for moral and financial support in its defense of the constitutional rights of all citizens, regardless of locality, race, sex, political or religious creed. We make the following statement in answer to many inquiries, and for new friends of the cause: The present incorporated league is the outcome of the preliminary organization of 1903. It is a belated expression of American conscience and patriotism, organized to achieve specific results. The league believes that the Constitution of the United States is "the supreme law of the land," and that "the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding" (Article VI.); that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of government" (Article IV.); that the Constitution guarantees "freedom of speech" and "the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" (Amendment I.); that "the trial of all crimes* * shall be by jury" (Article III.); and that all persons accused of crime shall have "the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury," and "have the assistance of counsel for his defense" (Amendment VI.); that "excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" (Ameni-ment VIII.); that no "involuntary servitude (except as punishment for crime) shall exist within the United States" (Amendment XIII.); that "ALL PERSONS born in the United States are citizens" (Amendment XIV.); that, in States where citizens are unlawfully disfranchised, its Representatives in Congress "shall be reduced in the proportion" prescribed in the Fourteenth Amendment; that "the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the Unit d States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude" [Amendment XV.]; that Congress, by special provision of the Constitution itself, is given "power to enforce the provisions of the last three) articles by appropriate legislation." That the President, the Congress and political parties should be held accountable for long neglect of this constitutional obligation. The League recognizes the valuable assistance given by the Federal Administration in the prosecution of violations of the Thirteenth Amendment in the so-called "peonage cases," first initiated by independent effort. All friends of the cause hope that violations and disregard of other constitutional provisions will not in the future remain ignored either by the Executive or by the Congress. With trial by jury ignored, freedom of speech denied, the mandates of the Supreme Court defied, with the constitutional rights of citizens "denied," "abridged" or more dangerously circumvented by perversion of the forms of law; with a weekly average of three citizens put to death, without legal trial, every week for nineteen years, it would seem that the time for organized protest and action had arrived. It is to the credit of sympathetic America that we have been horrified at the Jewish massacres and Armenian assassinations, but the outside world has also stood aghast at the race mobs, lynchings and massacres in "Christian America," North and South. The League desires the united influences of Christian civilization, North and South, to uphold the law, adequately punish the guilty, and make every citizen respect the guarantees of the Federal Constitution, without regard to person or locality. The League regarded as unjust unconstitutional, and without "due process of law," the condemnation and punishment of the members of Companies B, C and D, Twenty-fifth Infantry, discharged "without honor." It demanded an open hearing for these defenders of the flag, and sent two commissions, part white and part colored, to the scene of the disturbance in Texas, to San Antonio, and also to El Reno, Oklahoma, to ascertain the facts. The facts and affidavits gathered by the League were laid before the President and the Senate of the United States (Senate Document 107); in consequence of which the President sent two messages to the Senate (Document 155), hastened his Assistant Attorney-General to Brownsville, and revoked the most drastic feature of his sweeping order of discharge. There was then precipitated one of the most important debates on "Executive authority" that the country has witnessed. It has brought the people of the United States again face to face with the fundamental questions of liberty, justice and humanity. The investigation of the entire proceedings through the Senate Committee on Military Affairs is now under way, largely through the heroic efforts of Senator Foraker, supported at every Helena, Montana, Friday, May 17, 1907. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Agnes Bush, of Boise City, Idaho, Who recently paid $35,000 in cold cash for a mansion in that city The above is the likeness of a colored woman of Boise City, Idaho, who is perhaps the wealthiest colored woman in the entire West.

COMEDIANS AND SKETCH TEAM, In a side-splitting new creation of their own point of the inquiry by the League's commissioners and representatives. The League is representative. It invites and has the hearty cooperation of Independents, Democrats, Republicans, labor organization men, Prohibitionists, Socialists and others. A large number of college presidents and instructors are "charter" members, and there are in affiliated relationship hundreds of clergymen, and thousands of professional business men throughout the forty states and the several territories. Up to the present time the League has been supported by the private contributions of a few patriotic citizens, but the work has grown to such vast proportions that it is now necessary to nationalize its support, and hereafter its "plan and scope" will be limited only by the funds in hand. We use the term "in hand" advisedly, for the League is incorporated and will manage its affairs on a strictly Mrs. Agnes Bush, of Idaho, who is perhaps the wealthiest West.

A Few Interesting Items Gathered From Our Exchanges of the Surrounding Country—Numerous Accidents and Personal Events Take Place—Fall Trade Is Good. WASHINGTON NOTES. At the home of Andy Riddle, an Indian, near Toppenish, recently, Joe Flinne, a Sloux halfbreed, shot his wife and himself, killing both instantly. The trouble is supposed to have occurred over the fact that Mrs. Flinne has left her husband and gone to the Riddle home to live. The state railroad commission, it is stated, has decided to abandon the joint wheat rate order made last year, and is working on a new one, which will include the electric as well as steam roads. It is said to have been discovered that many boys in the Tacoma high school, instead of spending their money for their lunch at noon, put in the time of intermission in playing poker and penny ante. On charges of having fraudently converted to their own use timber from government land, Peter McMartin, D. A. Martin and Walter Fairbanks have been fined in the aggregate sum of $31,213 by Judge Hanford in the federal court at Seattle. The rivers of Yakima valley are gradually assuming flood proportions states a recent report. Most of the restaurants in Spokane have advanced the average prices to the consumer from 30 to 50 per cent on every order. Indians and negroes were employed in Seattle on the docks in place of the longshoremen who were recently locked out. Memorial services were held Sunday by Spokane Aerie No. 2, Fraternal Order of Eagles. Homer N. Kennedy, chief clerk in the office of Henry Blakeley, general western freight agent of the Northern Pacific, has been appointed to the position of general agent at Spokane to succeed George A. Mitchell. James Anderson, a farmer and stockman living near Pullman, lost a valuable driving stallion recently. Another horse kicked the stallion, breaking his leg. Efforts were made to get him up and set the broken leg, when it was broken in another place and it had to be shot. The horse was a valuable animal and the loss was a heavy one. Farmers in Pierce county by the misinterpretation of a recent decision by Judge Snell of the superior court declaring the city poll tax law unconstitutional, have refused to pay the state poll tax which is constitutional. Struck by a Coeur d'Alene electric train while trying to cross the track ahead of it, R. E. Cable and his daughter Sadie, were thrown from a buggy and hurt, the former fatally injured, late Sunday afternoon. Mr. Cable is a rancher living near Moab, and was driving his daughter to the station at Spokane Bridge so that she might take the inbound train to Spokane. Cable died early Monday morning at a hospital in Spokane. The labor problem is causing much uneasiness in the Palouse country. The recent rain was welcomed by the farmers, for the surface of the ground was getting hard and dry and needed to be softened in order that late sown grain might come up. According to the decision of the supreme court, it looks as though Whitman county would be deprived of a fruit inspector. An effort is being made to have the Lincoln county commissioners and the mayor of Davenport agree upon a day for strawing the roads leading into Davenport. Examinations for carriers and clerks in the postal service will be held May 21 in Colfax. For clerks and draftsmen in the land offices, June 19 and 20 at Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Port Townsend, Bellingham; same places June 5 for apprentices for the bureau of standards. The state treasurer certified that there is $1,036,000 cash on hand to be apportioned this quarter to the school districts of the state. MONTANA ITEMS. Richard H. Eddy, janitor of the Lewistown high school, has just been notified that through the death of a younger brother in South Africa he falls heir to an estate of about $50,000. General Manager Horn of the Northern Pacific has sent word to Mrs. Clow, widow of the engineer who was killed during the holdup of the North Coast Limited, the sympathy of the officials and that the company had mailed a draft to her for $4000 as a recognition of the faithful services of her husband. While Tom Brady, a miner of Butte, was choking his wife on the floor of their squalid home, Thornley Thompson, his stepson, struck the man with an ax, fracturing his skull. Thompson admitted the act and stated he would do the same thing again and go to the penitentiary rather than see his mother maltreated. George J. Wickham, Sr., one of the oldest of the pioneers of this state, died at Stevensville recently. It is reported that there will be a vacancy on the bench of the circuit court of appeals at San Francisco in June and that Judge Hunt of Helena will be appointed to fill the vacancy. Professor W. K. Dwyer has been re-elected city superintendent of the schools of Anaconda at a meeting of the board of education. The preliminary hearing in the Cutler murder case at Lewiston resulted in the discharge of the prisoner for lack of evidence to convict. The Western Montana Lumbermen's association has been trying to adjust the differences that have arisen between the mill owners and the men of the I. W. W. union, but without reaching an agreement. John K. Wells, known to all of the old-timers of western Montana as "Curly," died in Deer Lodge recently, after a long illness of paralysis, induced by Bright's disease. He was 65 years old, had been a resident of Montana since 1863. In response to a number of complaints, the state railroad commission has taken up with the executive officers of the Northern Pacific at St. Paul the matter of train connections at Missoula. IDAHO NEWS. Two Swedes named Lindstrom became deranged at Eastport, Idaho, a few days ago, and one of them threw himself into the river and the other disappeared and nothing has been seen of him since. Fifteen tons of giant powder have been buried in a hill near Thorpe, on the line of the C, M. & St. P., railroad, and will be exploded some day this week. When this occurs it is expected the whole side of the hill will slide into the river. The Snake and Clearwater rivers in Idaho are rising, caused by the warm weather melting the snow in the mountains, and some anxiety is felt among the residents along the low banks of the rivers. The restaurants at Wallace, which increased the prices of meals a few weeks ago, have decided to return to the former scale of prices. Robert E. Strahorn of Spokane has announced he will spend about $50,000 on the improvement and enlargement of the light and water systems at Wallace this summer. Nelson Hartson, son of Postmaster Hartson of Spokane, has passed the mental and physical examination for midshipman. Among the northwestern boys who succeeded in passing the tests at Washington were Herbert E. Dunton of Boise, Idaho, and Paul F. Foster of Weiser, Idaho. Telephone girls at Wallace have secured an increase of wages that amounts to $5 per month. It was granted by the company without W. J. Thomas, a special agent of the treasury department from Washington, trouble. D. C., arrived in Palouse a few days ago, and made a trip into the up-river timber districts in Idaho, going from here to Moscow on his return. It is reported that his trip had to do with the timber frauds which are now being investigated. In every town and county in Idaho, and in all the cities, with the exception of Wallace and the Coeur d'Alene region, the Sunday closing law passed by the last legislature was observed, in many places saloons closing for the first time in the state's history. In Wallace the conditions observed from the time the town was a mining camp of small population obtained. No attempt was made to close the saloons or other resorts. The law provides that all saloons, butcher shops, barber shops, general merchandise stores, in brief, all places of business but those absolutely necessary, such as drug stores and hotels, be closed on the Sabbath day. Exception of confectionery stores and ice cream parlors is made. The ban is placed on Sunday amusements for which a fee is charged, baseball being an exception. F. M. Goodwin, chief of the field division of the United States general land office for eastern Washington and Idaho, with headquarters in Spokane, has been appointed to assist United States Attorney Ruick in the prosecution of the Idaho land fraud cases. For the first time in almost half a century not a saloon was open in Lewiston Sunday, for notice was served upon the proprietors that they must observe the "Sunday rest" law by closing up at midnight. OREGON SQUIRS The annual meeting of the state grand lodge of Odd Fellows will convene in La Grande on Tuesday, June 21. The streets of La Grande will be the scene of a carnival, beginning with Monday, May 20, and continuing throughout the week. This amusement is under the management of the Eagles and is taken up by the business men, who are planning an extensive street decorations. At La Grande at a depth of 840 feet Contractors Miller & West struck a flow of artesian water, with a quantity of 224,000 gallons a day. This is the well projected by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company for the purpose of securing a gravity supply of water for the railroad yards. Harrison A. Melvin, who shot and killed S. H. Dorrance in self defense at Prineville last fall, has been discharged. The grand jury found not a true bill. George Horseman shot and killed Clarence Broome at Little Potts, Near Gurdane, Ore., about 40 miles southwest of Pendleton, Saturday. They quarreled over a fence. Major Edwards, Indian agent of the Umatilla Indian reservation, has resigned his office and the department is now looking for a successor to him. The trouble with most of us is that we megaphone the faults of our friends and whisper when we refer to their virtues. IMMIGRANTS PILE IN INFLUX TO U. S. OF EUROPE'S HORDES IS ALARMING. Five Steamers Brought Over 5000 Last Monday—133,000 During April—70 Per Cent of Them Find Homes East of Mississippi River—Every Fourth One is an Italian. The flood tide of immigration to American shores runs ceasely on, and new high water marks for the influx of Europe's migratory hordes are being recorded every month in the port of New York. Already May bids fair to far outstrip the April record, when 133,452 immigrants poured through the gateway of New York into the country. Five transatlantic liners brought in more than 5000 Monday and officials at Ellis Island say that there are no signs of cessation of this European invasion. The wellsprings of this human stream lie principally in middle Europe, while a lesser current has its source in the Scandinavian and German states. Italy, Austria, Hungary and the lower Russians now supply more than one-half of all the immigrants seeking homes in this country. Every fourth alien examined at Ellis is Italian, while every fifth newcomer is from the Austrias. A score of years ago the headwaters of foreign immigration were in Ireland and Germany. But now the source has entirely changed. The industrial fields of the United States still absorb the greater part of the foreign outpour and seven states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio, now find homes for 70 per cent of the immigrants. Spokane Gets Reduced Rates St. Paul, May 14.—A freight conference fo vast importance to the business interests of Spokane, Wash., was held Monday at the offices of J. J. Hill between high officials of the Hill and Harriman systems. After deliberating for several hours, freight reductions were decided upon which have been contended for by the jobbers and merchants of Spokane for many years. A report from Chicago says the St. Paul item about the Hill-Harriman conference was incorrect, and no decision has been reached to lower rates to Spokane. Explosion Killed Fourteen Men Charlotte, N. C., May 15.—As a result of a premature explosion at Camp No. 2, on the Southwesten railroad, near Marion, N. C., 14 men are dead, eight bodies having been recovered. Foreman Kidd's body was badly mangled. At the same camp Sunday afternoon Walking Boss Kidd and Charles Hale went to quiet "Jim" and William Anderson, who are said to have been drinking, when Anderson shot and killed Kidd. Following this Hale killed Anderson. Hale and five ohters are charged with the murder. LATE NEWS ITEMS As the result of a quarrel, Mrs. Nell Williams shot and killed Jack Burnett, a lumberjack, at Priest River, Idaho. The shot was fired through the door and took effect in the man's groin. The exact circumstances leading up to the tragedy are not known. Pocatello, Idaho.—Water has been turned into the headgaites of the Great American Falls Canal and Power company's project on the north side of the Snake river for the reclamation of a tota segregation of 57,000 acres. Water rights to over 35,000 acres have already been sold. This makes the final step in a work of 10 years, involving the expenditure of immense sums of money in the construction of over 50 miles of main canal and nearly 20 laterals. The land is already thickly settled and the application of water at this time will result in heavy crops on the land which a year ago was an arid waste of sagebrush. Levine enlisted in the First Tennessee volunteers and was in the boxer troubles with the Ninth infaxty. Clity of Mexico. Guatemala has receded from the stand taken relative to the Lima extradition question in a reply to the third note sent by the Mexican government. President Cabrera expresses his willingness to have General Lima, charged with the complicity in the assassination of General Barillas, former president of Guatemala tried in Guatemala. Guatemala further says she is willing to send Colonel Bone, an alleged accomplice in the assassination, to Mexico to tell what he knows of the affair. Mexico has replied to these overtures coldly. Her last note intimates that President Cabrera's overtures have come too late, inasmuch as Minister Gamboa has swerved from Guatemala to Salvador. 1 SPORTING NOTES. Suckers who occupied $30 ringside seats at the Burns-O Brien fake in Los Angeles are preparing to sue Manager Tom McCary for the recovery of their money. Hugo Kelly of Chicago and Jack (Twin) Sullivan of Boston fought a 20 round draw under the direction of Tom McCary at Los Angeles. Reports say the fight was vicious and even throughout. Cincinnati has suspended Pitcher Minahan for failing to show up for morning practice, and other delinquencies. Yankee horses are being barred this season from the Canadian race tracks. Canadian breeders kicked on the Americans getting all the purses. Jack Johnson, after his chase around the world to get a fight with Squires, is coming back to America to challenge him. Bob Fitzsimmons claims he is matched with Mike Schreck for a fight at Tonopah Decoration day. Poor old Bob. Helen Kellerman, Australian champion woman swimmer of the world, is making a tour of American cities. Meet of the National Association of Motorcyclists will be held in July at Providence, R. I. London—In a match of the world's professional tennis championship and a side bet of $2500, Peter Latham, the former champion, today defeated Cecil (Punch) Fairs, holder of the title 6-3. The match, which was for the best 13 sets, was distributed over three days, May 6, 8 and 11. Jay Gould acted as referee. Fifteen hundred dollars is the purse hung up for the relay race at the Spokane Interstate fair, September 23 to October 5. Robert H. Cosgrove, secretary of the association, announces that no entrance fees will be charged nor will there be any deduction from winners in the race, which is to be two miles a day for 10 days, beginning September 24. Women riders are barred, and to make the race there must be at least six entries and four to start. The purse will be divided as follows: First, 50 per cent; second, 25 per cent; third, 15 per cent, and fourth, 10 per cent. It is probable that when the track athletes of the P. N. A. meet for the championship in the spring of 1908 they will gather in Spokane. Columbia defeated Harvard upon the Charles river Saturday in the first race between the two universities in 20 years. The contest was a splendid one from the start, as at no time was open water seen between the shells. Columbia won by about half a length over a course of a mile and seven-eighths; her time being 9 minutes 16 seconds. Harvard's time was 9 minutes 18 seconds. Cold rain, with snow, fell at times during most of the day. The annual Yale-Princeton dual track meet resulted in a victory for Yale by the score of 54 to 50 points.

The Catertril Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catertril being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catertril Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous membranes of the patient, the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER. Views From Different Parts of United States. Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York is not, according to a statement made by him, a candidate for political honors higher than he has now. Chicago—The entire west is against Hughes' candidacy for president. This is the dictum from republican leaders. There is no "Hughes for president" sentiment in Oklahoma. With the majority of the politicians there is a feeling of willingness to support and man whom President Roosevelt dorses for the nomination. In some quarters Fairbanks sentiment is also under way. As between Hughes and Taft for presidential timber, the sentiment in Iowa is strongly in favor of Taft. Taft is easily the favorite of republicans of southeastern Nebraska. The quickest way to be rich is be content with what you have. form of pix-ples and black heads, while Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin trouble is Salt Rheum; its favorite point of attack is the scaly, sometimes causing baldness. Poison Oak and Ivy are also disagreeable types of skin disease. The humor producing the trouble lies dormant in the blood through the Winter to break out and torment the sufferer with the return of Spring. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and removes the humors so that the skin instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a supply of fresh, healthy blood. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., while they soothe the itching caused by skin effusions can never cure the trouble. Snow in Wyoming.

Many Are Scalded and Burned Beeneath the Cars—Diner Death Trap—Engine and Four Coaches Heaped in Confusion on Sands—Horror in California—Two Carloads of Victims. Santa Barbara, Cal., May 12—At least 25 persons are believed to have perished in a disastrous wreck on the Coast line of the Southern Pacific Saturday afternoon when a special train carrying three delegations of eastern Shriners returning from a week of merrymaking at Los Angeles, left the track at Honda, a station 59 miles north of here, and piled up on the sandy beach. The engine and diner, with three coaches, were heaped in hopeless confusion on the sands, and terror was added by the wreckage taking fire, although the flames were quickly extinguished by the survivors, passengers and trainmen. Many were scalded and burned while buried beneath the shattered cars. From north and south ald was rushed at once by special trains. Doctors and nurses from Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo raced to the scene of the wreck. Two carloads of dead and wounded were hurried into San Luis Obispo shortly after 9 o'clock and while the bodies of the dead were turned over to a volunteer corps of Masons, who had learned of the disaster to their brethren, the injured were hurried to hospitals and private houses, where cots and beds awaited their coming and where doctors and nurses were immediately in attendance. Shriners' Special Train. The wrecked train, which constituted a portion of No. 1, the northbound "Coaster," left Santa Barbara at 12:10 While traveling on the schedule of a regular train it was actually a special, known as the Ismallala special and carrying among others, representatives of Rajah temple of Reading Pa., and Ismallala temple of Buffalo, N. Y., and Al Koran temple of Cleveland, Ohio. Two irreconcilable statements have been made as to the cause of the wreck. In one of them it is said that drifting sand along the track formed an obstruction with which the engine of the Ismallalia special collided. The other report, received just before midnight from Lompoc, ascribes the disaster to a switch rail broken or improperly placed. According to the Lompoc correspondent, who viewed the wreck and obtained the statements of survivors, the engine, traveling at the rate of 50 miles an hour, struck the projecting points of the switch rail, ran along the rail for about 40 feet and then bumped over the ties for over a dozen yards, finally plunging into the ditch. The tender was fung over the engine by cars behind. The baggage car and the diner, which was evidently the second car, plunged under and over the engine, and following these were two heavy Pullman sleepers. The greatest loss of life occurred in the diner, which seems to have been filled with passengers. Not a person in this car escaped death. The doomed passengers were carried into closed contact with the engine, buried under the cars that came behind, and for the most part scalded to death. The bodies taken to San Luis Obispo, almost without exception, are horribly disfigured and almost unrecognizable. Potentate Hipple a Victim. The most prominent among the dead Shriners is J. Douglass Hipple, potentate of Rajah temple, Reading, Pa. A number of the dead are from Reading, at least eight. A man named Henry, from Lebanon, Ohio, was killed outright, and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cutter, residence unknown, also are in the list of dead. Mrs. Fisher of Cleveland was killed; also a Miss Young of the same city. Hipple was a conspicuous figure at the Los Angeles conclave. Other Reading Dead. The Reading Shriners dead besides Hipple are: V. Stoffe. Harry Hendle. A. L. Rother. Charles Lowing of Cleveland. A tourist agent named Austin. S. A. Wasson of Buffalo. It is known also that at least five other persons are in the wreck. J. Douglas Hipple, potenate of Rajah temple of Reading, Pa., was about 35 years of age. Later Report. Santa Barbara, Cal., May 13.—While hurrying northward over the coast line of the Southern Pacific railroad, homeward bound after a week of fraternizing and fiesta in Los Angeles, 145 Shriners of Ishmalia temple of Buffalo and Rajah temple of Reading, Pa., with their families and friends were hurled into the midst of death when their special train, running 50 miles an hour, struck a defective switch at Honda, a lonely station on the sand wastes of the Pacific beach, derailing the train, smashing the coaches into flinders, killing 32 almost instantly and injuring more than a score of others. The bodies of 21 lie in the morgues of Santa Barbara and 10 more are at San Luis Obispo. The injured, many of whom are terribly hurt and will probably die, are in two sanitariums at San Luis Obispo. One of the Important Duties of Physicians and the Well-Informed of the World is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufacturers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufacture which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name—Syrup of Figs—which has given satisfaction to millions.

MINES AND MINING Palouse—Samples of the ore struck in the vicinity of the Mizpah mine indicate that the strike is the most important ever made in the famous Hoodoo district. Word was received from the foreman of the Lucky Friday mine at Mullan, Idaho, that 20 inches of ore had been uncovered in the face of the lower tunnel being driven on the property," said George D. Porter, the superintendent of the mine. R. M. McEntire, vice president and manager of the Silver Crown Mining company, reports that development work at the Silver Crown is progressing with entire satisfaction and that ore will be shipped within a month at the present rate of work. Lewiston, Mont.—A report has been received here that John A. Drake had sold his controlling interest in the North Moccasin at Kendall to the Barnes-King people. Mr. Drake owned a little over 250,000 shares and according to the report received $5 a share. If the deal is closed up it means that the negotiations for consolidating the three great Kendall properties—the Kendall, the Barnes-King, and the North Moccasin—are practically consummated. Senator Rae, manager of the Drake interests, states that he knew the deal was pending in New York City and is not surprised at the report, but has not been officially informed of it. Having been promised ample police protection, the American Smelting and Refining company has decided to reopen its plant at Murray, Utah. At a meeting with the smelting men the mayor of Murray and the county officials agreed to furnish 75 special officers and to guarantee the safety of all who apply for work. It is believed that a majority of the 1200 men who quit the plant will apply for their old positions and that no serious trouble will occur. An advance of approximately 10 per cent in wages will be made by the company, this being the raise which was offered to and rejected by the men before the strike. It is said that the ores diverted to the Montana and Colorado plants of the company had been ordered back to Utah. Boundary, B. C., Mines. This week the B. C. Copper company is the only smelter with affiliated mines in operation in Boundary, the result being less than 5000 tons of ore were shipped from the district mines, due to lack of coke.

Reuben Baker came over from Butte to attend the funeral of Albert Marshall, returning Tuesday. Mrs. H. E. Hill and Mrs. J. Butler of Butte came over and attended Albert Marshall's funeral. Ed Johnson says that the Butte people are lacking in hospitality, and that his treatment at the ball given over there the 1st inst. was abominable, and that they should journey to Helena for lessons in the courtesies due strangers. Only two weeks until the Grand Concert at Electric Hall! It will be worth coming miles to see. Mr. Dudley Peyton is in a very critical condition with tuberculosis at St. John's Hospital. W. C.

Bass is arranging a lecture tour; his itinerary will be Butte, Anaconda, Billings, Bozeman and Great Falls. The Hub Team made a sorry showing against the Edmonton Nine Wednesday. Wednesday evening was the regular meeting for the R. J. Fletcher Lodge. Golden City G. U. O. of O. F. was very prompt in settling its funeral claim. Walter Parker, N. G., and William Irvin, P. N. G., handed Mrs. Marshall on Wednesday a check for the full amount. C. A. Johnson and J. L. Ellis will put on a sketch written by C. A. Johnson, and arranged by J. L.

Branch, waiters. It seems as though for some reason the Luzon Bees are being boycotted; at least they should have the call on games, and are not getting it. They are by a long odds the best organized ball team in the city, and play the game of ball all down the line. AT REST Last Sad Rites Performed Over the Remains of Albert Marshall The funeral services over the remains of Albert Marshall at the St. James A. M. E. Church was largely attended; citizens from all walks of life, regardless o race, were there to pay the last tribute of respect to a citizen who had by his life been an honor to the community. The church was filled to overflowing. The last rites were in the hands of the R. J. Fletcher Lodge, No. 101, A. F. and A. M. the Golden City Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. was in attendance, and made a great appearance. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. T. Osborne, and a beautiful and forceful sermon was preached indeed. The Sabbath School was present in a body. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Several out of town people came to Helena to attend the funeral. The interment was at Forestvale Cemetery. Mr. Eugene Clark received a message from Missouri that his sister was lying very low. He left Friday at 2.10 for her bedside. Owing to the fact that there has not been a ball in Helena for many days, the ball which takes place after the concert at Electric Hall on the 30th is of great interest to those who delight to trip the light fantastic toe. Miss Fitzgerald says there is absolutely no danger of a shortage on cream at the Concert May 30th.
