Retractions not being in order, the military man gained satisfaction for his affronted dignity by shooting a man whose only connection with the matter arose from his having been re tained to answer precisely such com plaints.

Hit Rise Prom Pov erty to Great Wealth. How He Became a Copper King. Instances That Depict His Good Luck. CLARK OF MONTANA By J. A. EDGERTON Started Poor, Now a Millionaire Senator. How He Figured In a Famous Feud. Corners That He En gineered In Early Days. A Touching Story is the saving from death, of the baby girl of Geo. A H'Mer, Cumberland, Md. He writes: “At the age of 11 months, our little girl was in declining health, with serious Throat Trouble, and two physicians gave her up. We were al most in despair, when we resolved to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. The first bottle gave relief; after tak ing four bottles she was cured, and is now in perfect health.” Never fails to relieve and euro a cough or cold. At Cherokee Drug Co.; 50c and $1.00 guaranteed.

T HK recovery of Senator William A. Clark of Montana from two delicate operations consisting of the removal of the mastoid bone from the base of the brain may be ascribed to “Clark luck.” At least that Is what It is called in Montana. These two operations both occurred witbiu fifteen months. The first it was thought would remove the trouble, Which started from a cold producing an abscess in the middle ear. But fie symptoms recurring, Senator Clark de eided to have another operation de spite the fact that the surgeon said it was not absolutely necessary. Clark docs not believe in half measures ami was determined to have the matter over with for good and nil. This operation is one of the most delicate known to surgery. It necessi tates exposing the brain, and a false, movement might easily result in death Thomas A. Edison was recently oper ated on in a similar manner. The fact that Edison pulled through would indl cate that the fortunate outcome In both cases was due to the triumph of modern surgery. But despite all this, the Montana people would insist that Clark luck would have pulled the cop per king through in any event. * Worked Twenty Hours a Day. Senator Clark himself ascribes this ho called luck to the fact that he used i » work about twenty hours a day and has not entirely recovered from the habit. The natives, while admitting the senator's steam engine Industry, Insist, however, (hat it alone could not have brought all the good things that | have been piled in bis lap by fortune. I For example, there was that time when Clark was just starting. He bad saved up a little money from mining, peddling, storekeeping and sharp trades wie ii some miners got a portion of it nwa.. from him by selling him a hole iii !1k ground. Clark tried tj work the hole, only to find that be bad been i > e. lb in ; a good trader himself, lenvover, be said, nothing, but stlncts of a captain of industry early In the gams. Clark had been a poor boy In Penn sylvania; bad managed to get enough education to teach school for a year in Missouri; then pounded an ox team through to Colorado at the start of the gold fever} in another year heard of the gold excitement in Montana and bled himself thither, still with the ox team; worked as a common miner for a year and cleaned up $1,B00, and on this capital brought in stuff from the Missouri river points and even from San Francisco and sold it to the min ers for three or four times what it cost him. This might have been luck, but it also Involved some rather foxy financiering, at which W. A. Clark was an artist even in those early days. The story of the start of the famous Clark- Dnly feud illustrates this quality. This feud, which affected every Industry and every man, woman and child in Montana and which finally came to a finish fight In the United States sen ate, was perhaps the most momentous In Its consequences of any In American history. Clark and Daly In the begin niug we’-c business associates and friends. In fact, they were bound by closer ties, for J. Ross Clark, a youn ger brother of tb • copper king, had mar ried a sister of Daly’s wife. But there is no enmity like that of former friends. Daly needed a certain strip of land to furnish water for his Anaconda mines nut} offered the old fellow who owned the strip $10,000 for the water right. The owner eagerly said lie would take It, and lu the morning the deal was to have been carried through. Clark heard of it and g ive the old fel low $25,000 for the strip. Then be made Daly pay $125,000 for it. Marcus Daly paid the money, but swore venge ance. There are rumors that Clark bad an earlier grudge t > sett it* and took this method of doing It, but no one knows for certain except the copper king himself, and he won’t tell. When Clark was a candidate for ter- wltncsses was State Senator White head. who lu a sensational manner had thn.risked $30,000 on the floor of rhe Joint convention, claiming that Clark had given it to him to buy rotes. Clark demanded an Investigation and was exonerated, the event turning sym pathy in his favor and assisting him In securing the election. The senate committee ou privileges and elec;ions heard the case arid unan imously decided that (’lark was not entitled to bis seat. Before It had a chance to report Chirk resigned In a tearful speech. The next day, however, came an npjiolntment shgnod by Lieu tenant Goveruor Spriggs appointing W. A. Clark to the senate vacancy created by the resignation. It appears that Governor Smith, who was a Daly i man, was temporarily absent from the j state, and the resignation had been so ; timed that the appointment could be made by the lieutenant governor, a i Clark man. Then the war in Montana i broke out with redoubled fury. About this time the copper trust, of which Thomas W. Lawson lias been writing of late, was formed. Marcus Daly was made president. It was at this \ point that F. A. Helnze, the young copper Napoleon, came into the game. He raised a cry against the trust, or ganized a labor party, made Clark the candidate for the senate and carried the state. Daly did not live to see the final triumph of his enemy. W. A. Clark was elected to the full senate term ending lu 19b7, and this time there was no contest. Marcus Daly was dead and the feud was ended. There were after rumblings in which Clark was charged wlthr having thrown over Helnze, and there wore even tales of a combination with the Standard Oil crowd to prevent any further con test of his senate seat. But these gradually died out, and the war which bad divided a state into two hostile camps for a generation was over. One of tin* most sensational Inci dents of rids historic conflict related Men Past Sixty in Danger. m More than half of mankind o\er six- l|' years of ago kiiffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlarge ment of prostate f gland. This is both painful and dangerous, and Foley’s Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it corrects ir regularities and has cured many old men of this disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett, Rock Port, Mo., writes; “I suffered with enlarged prostate gland and kidney trouble for years and aftei taking two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure I feel better than I ivave foi twenty years although I am now 91 years old.” Sold by Chrokee Drug Go.

A few years ago one of the daughters secured a divorce In a rather sensational suit. The first MM. (’lurk died in 1898. T he second marriage of the multi millionaire was even more romantic than tlie first. At Clark's famous Unit ed Verdi mine at Jerome, Ariz., which, by the way, is one of the largest cop per properties ou earth, a Dr. La Cha- pelle, a Canadian Frenchman, was em ployed. At bis death his family, which was a large one, was left in destitute circumstances. Senator Clark gener ously provided for their wants and adopted one of the little girls, Miss Anna, as his ward. Her he had edu cated both in this country and Europe. After he was elected senator the am bitious matchmakers of Washington and New York were marrying him off every few days, and as the senator was always something of a gallant he rath er lent himself to tlielr schemes. In tills way the newspapers hud various stories of approaching nuptials and ev<*ii spiced up tales approaching the 1 scandal stage. The senator himself i put an end to all of these, however, ; by announcing a year or so ago that ! tines* years previous at Marseilles he j had married Miss La C'hnpelle, his ; ward, and by her already had a daugli- ; ter two years old.

Clark was tired of • s ing chaffed, rather wearily admitted the drinks were on him and started to liquidate.

There is 15 per cent copper.” And this was the stunt of Clark's career us a copper king. ‘•Baking Powder Biily.” But there were oilier things that came to Chirk in the old days that ti>** miners do not ascribe either to luck or hard work, but ‘o a more subtle qual- •hy. For example, Clark once cornered all tjie bailing powder In the mining camp an:! was thereafter known ns “Baking Powder Billy." Then he cor nered all the apples and told (hem at a dollar np;coo. On one or more occa sions he bought up all the available tobacco and s dd it for a dollar n p!.;g Money wn<* plentiful In Montana ttmj» and tobacco was scarce. Clark made It scarcer.

Carter, now Clark's colleague in the senate. Mon tana was Democratic then, and Carter ordinarily would have stood no chance of election. P.’it when the votes were counted it was found that Daly, though a Donuerut himself, had thrown all his sirengili to the Republican candidate, and W. A. Clark met his first defeat. Hero of Montana’s Capital. Saon after this Montana was admit ted to the Union, an 1 the light came on the location of the .state capital. Da ly wanted Anaconda, his home town. Clark did not show his hand until the windup, when he threw his forces to Helena, and Anaconda was disastrous ly defeated. Clark was the hero of the new capital and was given a great banquet. The next year he was the Democratic candidate for United States senator and thought he was elected, but Daly organized a rump legislature, sent two Republican contestants to Washington, and the senate sealed them. Two years later Clark was again u candidate, hut this time Daly man age 1 to deadlock the legislature, then was no election, and Lee Mantle, a Re puhilcun. v. m a; poinle.' senator.

One morning Mr. Clark i ink up the Butte Miner, a paper of his own town, and in it read an ar tistic roast of himself. Before sun down he had bought that paper, and a few days later Marcus Daly took up the same paper and hi it feasted his eyes on one of the most pyrotechnic and vitriolic lambastlngs of himself that 1ms ever been put into type on this continent. Then he started the Anaconda Standard, strung a private wire to the town to get the news and made of It about the warmest news paper ever published In a town of that size. Clark got control of other papers, and the newspaper war that ensued will make an interesting chapter in Montana history In days that are n >t yet. One Interesting story of Seuatoi Clark relates to a barber, rather to two barbers. Happening into a shop one day the senator was rather insinu atingly reminded by the tonsorla! artist that Charlie Clark, son of the copper king, paid $T» for his half cuts. “Well,” dryly remarked the elder CJajk, “he has a rich father and onu afford it I have not.” Thereupon he paid the regular price, 50 cents, and left the shop. The other barber was a Kansas City product, and Clark ran into him while attending the Demo cratic natiqnal convention in 1900. Now this particular barber was not only an artist with the razor and shears, but was something of a talker as well. Clark became enamored of this colloquial ability and hired the burlier to go out into the boinls and toot the praises of ihe senator from Montana so Jong as the convention lasted. So well did that knight of the shears perforin his duty that Clark was one of (he most talked of men at the convention. A Fastidious Dresser. There is a bright! r side to ibis ver satile cliaract* r. i’eoplc have accused Clark of lH*,ng u money making ma chine, u man without heart and all that. They did not know him. Both of his marriages were purely love matches, and there Is a touch of ro- niance in each. Ills flrst wife was the love of his boyhood. After he found a good mine* lu Montana Clark went to Columbia college; to take the mining course. He* determined to know all about the business, as he has con oru- ing every business in which he* ever embarked. Reluming home by wa> ] of bis Pennsylvania birthplace, near j Conncllsvllie, he found his early sweet j hearl, tnarrie i her and took her back I to Butte. Clark was quite a fu nidi > ;< i drc.sser in those days, .as eve:', ami !'. minister who married him sa!' 1 ih.i! j tight boots would be the death of l.hn yet.

A machine for the baking of the bread Is being install ed in bis establishment, and lu a few days patrons will got llic latest gas- tronomical novelty served to them as the upper and lower decks of sand wiches or in the form of toast. There is only one crust less bread oven now in operation. That: is owned by the ' Jersey City baker who supplies the Pullman palace ear people. In the process of baking crustless bread is kept moist and remains so for ten or twelve hours. It does away with waste due to cutting crust from the ordinary baked loaf, and the use of a damp cloth to keep the loaf moist and prevent curling up Is avoided. When i taken from the oven the crustless bread Is covered with a sort of skin 1 or silky texture, which amply protects j the interior of the loaf and is easy to l masticate. Mannorn of Pnllo«?.

Try Hood’s. Arizona “Drinks.” (Tombstone, Ariz., Prospector.) The following Is a partial list of the varieties of whiskey now in stock in Tombstone: Common whiskey, the kind that killed father at the tender age of 93 Sporting whiskey, the kind that makes the game rich and the player go the limit. Business whiskey, the kind that makes a fellow who never had any business in his life hold you up at every corner and submit a $1,000,000 scheme. Mysterious whiskey, the kind that causes your neighbor to lead you away around behind the Dragoon mountains with an air of profound secrecy, then confide something to you that was all over town the day before. Social whiskey, the kind that causes a man who has known you for ten years and has never spoken to you. to single you out and make a confl- ilant of you. Knowing whiskey, the kind that swells the absorber thereof until the wisp guy Solomon is on the bmn. Roaring whiskey, the kind that sud denly sets the quietest fellow in town to vociferating and swinging his arms in unoffending space. Fighting whiskey, the kind that gets action into a coward. Crying whiskey, the kind that sud denly overcomes its victim with every conceivable species of pathos and makes of him a pitiful spectacle. Bad whiskey, exceeding scarce, the hind that makes a man quiet sullen anU dangerous. Loving whiskey, the sort that causes him to draw near, put his arm around your neck and emit a breath in your fact that would drive a turkey buzzard away from a dead coyote. There are several other varieties In Tombstone, conspicuously honest whiskey, which causes a man to pay his debts when under its influence, then kicks himself about it when he gats sober; then the brand that causes him to do the agreeable to everybody he meets on the streets, then go home and lick his wife until the neighbors interfere, Loquacious whiskey, which makes a man run off at the mouth whether he has anything to say or not. A Warning to Mothers. Too much care cannot be used with small children during the hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary to give the child a dose ot cast'/,’ op to correct any dis order of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old-fashioned castor oil. and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a ten dency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels give Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil, and the dis ease may he checked in its incipiency and all danger ’avoided. The castor oil and this remedy should he pro cured at once and kept ready for in stant, use as soon as the first indica tion of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be relied upon with implicit confidence even in cases of cholera infantum. For sale by Chero kee Drug Co.
