More British Capital for America
London, Dec. 8 - It may or may not be
true that the.Cramps and Vicker's Son
<fc Maxim will consolidate, but it is a fact
that eorrain lenders of England s great
est industry are contemplating a radical
■change of policy, which is of the utmost
importance to American interests. J. bey
realize that the hopelessness of cotrpeti
tion in certain linos with American .'.isc
ufacturers under the present industrial
conditions can be changed only by a gi
gantic struggle with the labor unions,
which, whatever the result, must bring
disaster to both sides. They therefore
are seriously considering tho project, of
tow ing up the best American factories.
This policy iuvolvea the confession
that American competition is invincible,
but it also spells ruin in the industrial
interests in several lines of British trade.
The question of its advantage or dis
advantage to America is a matter of the
greatest moment. There is also a doubt
that the most of the English manufact
mers understand far be f ter than tne
Americans themselves the vast oppor
tuuities which are in reacn of the United
States for securing a great share of the
trade. Moreover, Englishmen are
«ustömed to make plans extending much
further in the future than of the average
business man.
How to Cure Croup
Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Douchess county, N. Y., says: "Cham
berlain'fci Cough Remedy is the best
ruorieitie I have over used. It is a fine
children's remedy for croup and never
fails to cure.' When given as soon as
the child bee ees hoarse, or even aft eft*
the croupv eau h has developed, it will
prevent the att clt. This should be
b.rne in mind an a bottle of the Cough
Remedy kept at ha d ready for instant
use as soon an these symptoms appear.

His Own Daughters.
Omaha Neb.,'Dec. 8.—The police have
Dr. J. J. Solomon, a well known Omaha
physician, on tho rack trying to force
him to tell what he knows ot a sensa
tional tragedy that occurred in this city
last night. The affair is the sequel to
visit of a Council Bluffs man to Omaha
at the invitation of a gentleman acquain
tance of two so called swell society girls,
for a good time. The man came and
was met by his friend. Together they
entered a house at Sixteenth and Harney
streets and immediately a shot was heard
and the Omaha man staggered out with
a bullet in his heart. The Council
Bluffs man had been treated to a horrible
surprise. The two swell Omaha girls
was to meet proved to be his own daugh
ters, each party being ignorant of the
other's identity until the dramatic
climax. Then t'n« father, enraged
vond all power of control, drew a pistol
and attempted to kill the man who was
flirting with his daughters and had gone
bo far as to invite a father t.o meet
own daughters for a carousal. The
wounded man rushed to a carriage ard
wap 4rÂXon to.tbo. residence of Dr.. Splp
ruon. This much the physician admjts,
and he also tells the story of the dratun
tie occurrence lending up to tho shoot
ing, but he refused to furnish the police
with the name of tho injured man or the
man who did the shooting.
Fiinston Stiïl in fch« lîiiiff.
Manila, Dec 7.—More activity is
shown in the operations in Northern and
Southern Luzon. The reports from the
former district come in more quickly
and the telegraphic interruptions are
fewer. Gen. Funston, with troop A of
the Fourth cavalry and a score of econts,
last Thursday encountered 100 insur
gents posted on the opposite bank of the
Nehico river. The Americans charged
across the stream as tho enemy retreat
ed, firing from cover. They left four
dead on the field. A native who was
captured reported that Fagin. a deserter
from the Twenty fourth infantry, who
lias been active with tho Filipinos with a
party of two cavalry men, had been
wounded.
Lieut. Moro, with fifty men from the
Forty seventh regiment, attacked and
occupied Bulacan. While returning
these troops encountered Col. Victoris
occupying an entrenched position. With
thirty rifies and 300 bolomen Lieut.
Marro's force charged and drove the
enemy from their position, it is believed
with heavy loss. Preceding the fight the
expedition had captured Maj. Flores and
several of his followers An engagement
is reported to have occured near San
Roque, in which, according to natives
tifty rebels were killed. Several minor
encounters and captures are also re
ported. The American casualties have
been very slight.
The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound to
the affected parts is superior to any
plaster. ^ hen troubled with lame back
or pains in the side or chest, give it a
trial and you are certain to be more than
pioasëd with the prompt relief which it •
affords. Pain Balm also cures rheuma- !

Gold Discovery on Yellow River,
Alaska.
Minneapolis, Dec. 6.—A special to the
Times from Tacouia says that the great- '
est gold discovery since the Klondike 1
was found is reported from Yellow rive
tributary of Kuskokwim, 300 miles
from Holy Cross mission on the Yukon.
The discovery was made last summer
by a baud of daring prospectors. The
told at St.
M.
Morris
details regarding it were
Michaels in November to R.
sev. who had reached Skagway, en route
to Dawson. Arriving there he will leave
at once for the new diggirgs, having be
fore him a journey of 2,100 miles from
Skagway over the ice.
Morrisev says his news was received
from two Swedes who came to St.
Micuaels for citizenship papers, bring
ing with the iu $31,000 in gold.
After taking Morrisse.v into their con
fidence, they marked the location of Yel
low river on a map and advised him to
get there q_ickly. They prospected
three miles of the river and found rich
prospects everywhere. A'oeusen s aid
there wore only 12 men on the Yellow
river, all having gone iuto the country
last July from Holy Cross mission. His
ten companions are wintering at the dig
gings. Ai orrissey intends to be the thir
teenth man there.
He Knew the Itcal Thing.
They had just got married and were
starting on their honeymoon. The bride
had got the man she loved, and she
didn't care who saw her put her head on
his shoulder. The bridegroom had got
a farm with his wife, and if he wanted
j looked at them so often that the joung
husband finally explained:
to squeeze her hand or feed her with
sweets, whose business was it? A ^little
old man sat opposite the couple, and ho
"We've just got married."
"I knowed it all the time, chuckled
the other.
' And we can't help it. you know."
'■No, you can't, I'll be bio wed if jou
can!"
"I presume it all seems very silly to an
old man like you?"
"Does it? Does it?" cackled the old
fellow. "Well, I can tell you it does not,
then. I've been there three times over,
and now I'm on my way to marry a

RESERVOIR CONSTRUCTION
Likely to Engage Congress
Session.
at this
West Should Stand Together.
There is a great need that everyone in
terested in seeing the Government take
hold of the question of the reclamation
of its arid lands should be together at
this session of Congress, and should be
ready to do whatever possible to secure
concerted action.
The great prominence given to the
meetings of the National Irrigation Con
gress at Chicago, and other influences,
have shown to thoughtful members of
both houses of Congress that this irriga
tion question is something that has to
be settled with, and there is no use in
trying to think it can lie indetinitely put
off. The question with them is how to
do it. Eastern statesmen are asking
this question now.
Reservoir Construction.
It i3 probable that some definite plan
of action will be put forward this winter
to secure reservoir construction. If so,
every man in the West should wake to
the opportunity. The favorable acton
of Congress on the question of building
souie particular reservoir would be the
beginning of a general policy of réclama
tion of the deserts. It would be an en
tering wedge. It is matter of the most
tremeudous interest t</the West and to
every interest in the West.
This point should not be overlooked;
that whatever reservoir site it i3 pro
posed to concentrate the attention of
Ccn;r<s9 upon, and in whatever State or
locality, every other State and Territory
should bend every effort to secure tV>e
construction of this first reservoir This
wuutd start the movement.
T\iko Ui> the Fight.
In the meantime every newsp per in
the arid belt should take up ^the figat
from now on and urge upon
the people
West the great opportunity which is
now before them. Congress is now
.ready apparently to listen to some fair
Ff-'P^Hioa wüiua dois nit rosembio - a
raid; >ut the Weit should back up the
demands of it3 representatives in Wash
ington by a united and persistent de
mand that the time lias come for some
Governmental action.
T^re are Western
Senators
and Congressm -n to carry the Federal
irrgation proposition to a triumphant is
sue, if they will stand together and every
mail ûi ! tae West saoutd sit do,vu and
write a personal Utter to nis mem i3i of
Congress and to his Seuator at Wash
iugto > a °d teil them why they should
....
work to get a bill passed providing for
the construction ot reservoirs by tae
Government to store the floods.
You are Interested.
No man, no locality is uninterested in
this plan. Every industry of the West
would be stimulated and developed
wonderfully throu.j i the carrying out of
a policy which would reclaim 75 million
acres of arid land.
If the people ©f the great West ever
were interested in anything, they are in
terested now in seeing that this question
of national irrigation is pushed forward
strongly within the next t ,vo months.

Jadge LarScin Dead.
News has been received of the death
at Barker, of Judge M. C. Larkin, one
of the best known old-time residents of
northern Montana. He had been ill for
several years wi' h rheumatisni, but the
immediate cause of death was pneu
monia.
Judge Larkin was about 57 years of
age. He had lived in Barker for about
20 years. His only relative in this sec
tion is his riece, Mrs. Henry Daniels of
Barker,— G . F. Tribune.,
Gen. JEagau Retired.
Washington, Dec. 6.—Brigadier Gen
eral Charles P. Eagau, commissary gen
eral, was today restored to duty by the
president and at once placed on the re
tired list.
The order issued by the president re
mitted the unexpired porton of his sen
tence and restored him to a "status of
duty with station in this city."
This order was immediately followed
by one issued by General Miles announc
ing that General Eagan had been placed
on the retired list today on his own ap
plication after thirty years service.
Ingenious Western Minister.
"The ingeniousn ess of Rev. Harry A.
Handle, rector o: St. James' mission,
Meeker, Colo., constantly en volves enter
taining features for old and youug, at
trac f iug interest to the mission," writes
Stanley Stokes of "A Minister Among
the Cowboys" in the October Ladies'
Home Journal. "He is an accomplianed,
artist and takes photographs for every
body. An immense see-saw, swings and
other entertaining features have been
ere( ;ted by him in the rectory yard
where everybody m the. town enjoys
them. The preacher spent part of his
earnings for a phonograph with a set of
rolls, which drew big crowds to the
rectory, some coming 100 miles to see the
wonderiul talking machine. Nearly
every day when the stage comes iu Mr.
Handle changes his working clothes and
goes to the hotel to acquaint himself
with the strangers arriving, and invites
them to the rectory, all of which is un
usual and unlooked for on the frontier.
And that is one of the ways by which so
many people in his parish, which is of
greater area than the states of Delaware
«od Rnode Island combined, have be
come acquainted with the popular "Lit
tie Minster of Kio Bianco,' as he is
oailed.
Battleships and Cruisers.
Washington, Dec. 7.—Never since the
birth of the nes - navy has there been
such a gathering of shipbuilders and
metal kings as were assembled in the
office of the secretary of the navy at
noon today to witness the opening of
propriation. ihere were
bids for an amount-of naval construction
which Secretary Long denominared as
the greatest industry this or any other
country had ever seen, involving the
placing of contracts to the amount of
about $50,000,000.
There were eight bidders for the con-'
struction of the five battleships and six
armored cruisers. All of tne bids were
within '.ne limit of cost fixed by the ap
number of
omissions from the specifications in
many cases, however, so that a careful
inspection will be necessary to deter
mine which of the bius is actually the
lowest. The indications on the face of
the bids are that tho successful bidders
for one or more vessels will be the New
port News company, the Cramps, the
Fore River works of Massachusetts, the
Union Iron works of San Francisco, and
perhaps Moran Bros. Co. of Seattle,
Wash.

Staiford Aequ 1 tted.
Glasgov, Dec. 8.—At about 0 o'clock
this evening, the jury in the Stafford ;
murder trial returned a verdict of "not
guilty," and the defendant was discharg
ed from custody. 1
The defendant was accused of murder '
in the first degree for the killing of Dep
uty Sheriff John P. Eder at Culbertson !
Stafford, as stock inspector, was at
tempting to arrest Eder on a charge of
driving cattle from theii usual range.
E <er resisted arrest and, the defense
claimed, attempted to seize a ritle, thrsa
tening to kill Stafford, whereupon Staf
ford shot him, killing him instantly.
Stafford was exonerated by the coro
nei's jury and examining magistrate,
but later the county attorney iilad an in
formation against him.
The trial lasted all the week and was
bitterly fought. County Attorney Evans
was aided by R. It. Purcell of Helena
and the defense was most ably conduct
ed by John A. Largei.t of Great Falls.
An incident of the trial was the im
posing of a fine of m upon Attorney
Purcell, who used language which Judge
Tattan considered insulting to the jury.
