She pointed to Havre, Sheridan, Billings, Bozeman, Helena and Great Falls as places whose membership had been increased and whose property had been beautified and more bought. Many points of interest and encouragement was brought out in this paper. Rev. B. F. McCullep opened the discussion of Mrs. Osbonre's paper by saying he had been in Montana 12 years and had been all over the state and the paper contained facts. He also said much credit was due to Rev. Osborne who had come out here and aroused up tthe west in Christianity. and an interest in being somebody in the religious rhelm. "The resources of Montana for our people," bl Mrs. S. F. Walker of Anaconda. Mrs. Walker brought out strong interesting facts showing the great opportunities if our people would only grasp them. "Are the people doing their duty for the church." Havre delegate being absent, the society moved that Mrs. Osborne open the discussion. She said while the people were doing much for the church, yet not their duty, if so every meeting would be crowded and we would have to give less entertainments to meet the demands of the church, if all would do what the faithful few do, the church both spiritually and financially would be strong and powerful throughout the west. Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. McCracken and Mrs. Robinson joined in the discussion. The following program was rendered in the evening: one-half hour song service, conducted by Mrs. S. F. Walker of Anaconda Paper "The Choir and its benefit to the Church." to the Church," Mr. Thompson, Billings delegate.

Rev. Hubbard and Rev. McCulley added to the discussion. Rev. Hubbard said the African church speaks for the race what no other organization can, having its different colleges and seminaries its different departments, its able speakers in the pulpit competing with any race, and therefore every member should know its laws and know what it takes and what it means to be an African Methodist Welcome addresses were made on behalf of the church, by Rev.

Osborne who said the child that is trained never gets aloose, he may dart in this gambling den and that vice, etc but the rope of faith and prayer that the mother keeps around him, will eventually bring him back. "The Literary Society," Miss Minnie Johnson, Helena. The paper was an excellent one and well delivered. Miss Johnson said the literary was so closely connected with the church that it should be well organized so as to be a real aid to the church, marally as well as financially. She said it was next important to the S. S. She challenged a debate any society in Montana, stating that when Helena brings forth her strong orators, deep thinking, and impressive, it will take more than a handkerchief, yes two of them to dry the large drops of persperation.

Abbott sough softly "Home, Sweet Home" and Rev. Osborne aroused and pictured spots all over the country where different ones could look to as home, but the one that made it home was sleeping probably in the silent grove. This brought tears to the eyes, and aches to the heart of many present. "Jesus Lover of My Soul" was sung. Mrs. Osborne then said the paper as it was connected with the convention pictured to her a grand musical she had witnessed while sitting in the auditorium listening to beautiful strains of classical music being carried away with its splendor. All at once a lady appeared and played on her violin "Swanee River" which seemed to the soul a soothing rest from some great task. Thus it was with the paper, we had been for 3 days listening to the deep instructive, enlightened papers on how to advance the cause of Christ and benefit our young. Our minds and souls have been absorbed in this great problem. All at once the gentle word "Home" is heard, the old familiar saying that we have hear for years, touches our ears and we find ourselves resting from a task that we feel has been finished and on the morow ke leave for home after being wonderfully benefited by having left our homes to visit Great Falls, Mrs Osborne said, she would have it impressed that it was not the house nor its contents that made home. But the love that bound each human heart with us. The clasing evening session consisted of a program and banquet. The delegates from the different places were delighted with their trip. Great Falls treated them with the greatest hospitality. Every body tells the same story, the convention was instruc- HUSBAND WASCRUEL SO DAUGHTER OF MAYOR TOM JOHNSON WANTS DIVORCE. Was Married to F. Mariana March, 1907—She Wants Custody of Their 5 Months Old Girl—She Lives With Parents and He in New York—Only Lived With Him Few Months. Elizabeth Flournoy Mariani, better known as Bessie Johnson, daughter of Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland, has filed suit for divorce against Frederico Mariani, the Italian, whom she married in her father's home. Mariani is accused of abandonment, gross neglect and extreme cruelty. Mrs. Mariani asks an absolute divorce, alimony and custody of their baby, Margaret Evelyn, 5 months old. On this point at least, it is reported, Mariani will evince strong opposition, and will utilize such rights as he can being a citizen of Italy. After an acquaintanceship in the east and a courtship in which like sympathies in music and drama played their part, Mariani, a sion of an old artisticocratic European family, came to Cleveland and married Bessie on March 23, 1997. The wedding was a modest one and the young couple left soon after for New York. A few months later Mrs. Mariani returned to make her home with her father. Mariani remained in the east. In her petition, filed by City Solicitor Newton D. Baker, Mrs. Mariani makes the cruelty, neglect and abandonment charges without specifying instances. The cruelty he exercised toward her was wholly without cause, she avers, and says she has always conducted herself "in a dutiful and proper manner as his wife." She declares she has been a citizen and a resident of Cleveland for more than a year past. Sheriff McGorray is directed to mail a copy of the petition and summons to Mariani, in care of the Stratford house, 11 East Thirty-second street, New York. ARE CONGRESSMEN COWARLY? Chas. Littlefield of Maine Says Class Has Sole Aim, Reelection. New York, May 18.—Congressman Charles Littlefield of Maine, speaking at a banquet at the Union League club, Brooklyn, characterized congressmen as the most cowardly class in America and quoted Speaker Cannon as saying that "the only thing mere cowardly than a member of congress was two members of congress." "Congressmen are the most cowardly men," said Littlefield, "and conditions are such that they could scarcely be otherwise. Their chief aim is reelection, and therefore they are afraid to act in any manner which could prejudice that reelection. This is one reason why I resigned. "I believe the people of the country should control the government, but because of this cowardice I doubt if a direct election of senators would improve conditions any. They would be then in the same position as the members of the lower body." MANY FOLLOW WITH LAND SUITS Settlers Along Oregon & California Road Seek, Landa Under Grant. Tacoma, Wash.—The suit brought in the federal court by Roy W. Minckler to compel the Oregon & California railroad to sell to him 80 acres in the original grant in Clarke county for $2.50 an acre is to be followed by similar suits against the Northern Pacific and other railroads in this state. According to attorneys who are handling the cases approximately 2,000,000 acres of the railroad grant lie in Washington, which, under the terms of the grant, must be put on the market at $2.50 an acre. Failure to comply with these terms, it is said, will invalidate the entire grant. It is expected that the actions against the Northern Pacific will be commenced with a test case from Lewis county similar to that brought against the Oregon & California. The complainants are settlers who have established homes within the railroad grants. Murder Entire Family. Matteawan, N. J., May 18.—William D.

Deepens as Investigations Go On—Big Laporte, Ind.—The burial of Andrew Helgelein marks the beginning of the final stake of the Gunness farm mystery, so far as human knowledge is concerned. Two more corpses, supposed to have been those of Jennie Olsen and Ole O. Budsberg, have been partially identified, but to the identity of the remaining cadavers no clew exists that gives promise of fulfillment. The dentist who bridged Mrs. Gunness' lower jaw with artificial teeth has established that the piece of jawbone found in the ruins was from her skull. It has been established that the first body taken from the yard was that of Andrew Helgelein. The county council has passed an ordinance providing for an appropriation of $'000 for the solution of the Gunness mystery. Five thousand dollars of this will be offered for the apprehension of Mrs. Gunness or any of her accomplices. The rest will be devoted to paying the expenses of the investigation. The case of Ray Lamphere will be brought to the attention of the grand jury. State's Attorney Smith declares he expected five indictments for the murder of Mrs. Gunness, her three children and Andrew Helgelein and one indictment for arson. The scenes of May 10, Sunday, were repeated Sunday at the Gunness farm. Fully 10,000 people—not quite as many as a week ago—visited the "farm of mysteries," and saw all there was to be seen, even to viewing the skeletons of the seven unidentified dead, for the temporary morgue was open part of the day and persons were permitted to gave at the bones of Mrs. Gunness victims.

ADMIRAL SUCGEEDS THOMAS ON ATLANTIC FLEET Rear Admiral Thomas Has Put in 47 Years in Naval Service—Admiral Dayton Was Technically in Control of Both Fleets for a Few Days Owing to His Ranking Sperry. Rear Admiral Charles Stillman Sperry, returned within six months from a mission of peace as one of the American delegates to the conference at The Hague, has assumed command of the strongest force of fighting ships assembled in the history of the nation. Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, who succeeded Rear Admiral Evans as commander of the fleet, hauled down his flag from the truck of the Connecticut and 10 minutes later Admiral Sperry was received on board the flagship with the salutes and other naval honors befitting his position. The ceremonies were carried out in briefest possible form and in strict accordance with naval regulations. Admiral Thomas, who had had actual command for only six days, although he served for many weeks as senior officer present during the enforced absence of Admiral Evans, issued no farewell address. Although still an independent force to all intents and purposes the Atlantic fleet passed technically and temporarily for a few days under control of the Pacific fleet. Rear Admiral Dayton, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet, outranks Admiral Sperry, and as soon as Admiral Thomas' blue flag was run down on the Connecticut he became senior officer in command of the combined fleets. Thomas Retires October 1. Although he will not retire until October next Admiral Thomas has ended his active naval career of nearly 47 years. He served as second in command to Admiral Evans during the recent trip of the Atlantic fleet, and by reason of the illness of the commander in chief had to assume all the social and official duties incident to the call of the battleships at the various South American ports. As the fleet was steaming into Rio Admiral Thomas received a wireless message from Admiral Evans telling of his illness and asking that Admiral Thomas represent him in receiving and paying official calls, etc. At Rio, at Punta Arenas, at Cailao, Lima, Magdalena bay and at all of the California ports at which the fleet stopped, Admiral Thomas attended all of the official functions and made all of the official addresses. To Admiral Thomas' loyalty to the commander in chief, to his tact, personality and graciousness of manner, the officers of the fleet attribute much of the success which attended the cruise. Under orders from Admiral Sperry the bronze battleship target practice trophy was transferred from the battleship Illinois of the Atlantic fleet to the armored cruiser Maryland of the Pacific fleet, and the trophy pennant of red was broken from the foretruck of the latter ship. The Maryland will receive the Spokane silver trophy cup offered by the citizens of that city for the winner of the target practice for first class ships. The cost of the cup, $1500, was raised by private subscription. Seven battleships will go into drydock at the Bremerton navy yard next month after the Atlantic fleet ends its cruise among the cities of Puget sound. These seven ships compose most of the second and fourth divisions of the fleet, the Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Virginia of the second division, and the Illinois, Alabama and Kearsarge of the fourth division. The Atlantic fleet will be represented in its entirely on its northern tour, with the exception of the Alabama and Maine, which will have to stay to go into drydock at Hunter's point. The Alabama docks May 29 and the Maine May 23. After the torpedo flotilla ends its present visit at Sacramento it will sail down the Sacramento river to Mare island, where a stay of a few days will be made before the little war vessels take their run up the coast to Portland, Ore. The battleships set sail for Puget sound Monday morning at 10 o'clock Fleet Departs. The Atlantic fleet of battleships, after 12 days of naval pageantry and merry-making in San Francisco, sails Monday morning at 10 o'clock for Puget sound, arriving at Seattle on May 21. One-half the ships will dock at Bremerton navy yard while north and the others will return here for repairs and painting beneath the water line. Orders call for the reassembling of the fleet in San Francisco not later than July 3. On July 7 the fleet sails for Honolulu, and after a week's stay there goes directly to Auckland. The Pacific fleet of armored cruisers, under command of Rear Admiral Dayton, sailed south. This Congress Expensive. The present session of congress, to end next week, has been a record-breaker.

What is Pe=ru=na? Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. ) From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Manufactured by Peruna Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio S.S.S. HEALS OLD SORES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that particular spot; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes worse worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the circulation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addition to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

NORTHWEST INDORSES TAFT Conventions of Republicans Declare for Him for Presidency. The candidacy of William H. Taft for the presidency and instructions for the Washington delegation to the Chicago convention to support him so long as he shall continue to be a candidate, was the result of the republican state convention. Secretary of War William H. Taft was indorsed and Montana's six delegates to the national convention were instructed for him after a lively session of the recent state republican convention in Butte. Oregon's eight delegates to the republican national convention were instructed for Taft at the recent state and congressional district conventions. Amid riotous scenes of disorder and confusion the Alaska republic convention split, with the result that contesting delegations will be sent to the national convention in Chicago next month. The democrats of Minnesota have formally indorsed Governor John A. Johnson as presidential candidate. The republican state convention of California instructed the delegation to vote for the nomination of William H. Taft for president and adopted a platform indorsing the policy of President Roosevelt.

CLEVELAND MOBS QUIETING Only One Serious Disturbance on Sunday. Cleveland, Ohio, May 17.—Aside from a few minor disturbances, the street car situation today was quiet, while the service given by the Municipal Traction company was greatly improved. A police officer rode on each car. Only one instance of a serious attempt to attack the crew of a car was reported, when a crowd of boys and men sent a volley of stones and sticks at a car. Some of the missiles found their mark and the conductor drew a pistol, the police say, firing one shot. No one was hit. The state arbitrators still are endeavoring to have the union and President Dupont of the Municipal Traction company come to some understanding. Don't Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well Informed.
