Wholesale price ........ $1.00 Cost of doing business ........ 22 per cent Retailer's profit ........ 10 per cent Retail selling price ........ ? Basing your percentages on selling price the answer is not $1.32. If you will answer this question, or ask how to answer it, we will send you free a 48-page book for retailers. It will give you some inside information on getting at the *whole cost* of doing business. Will explain how successful retailers are getting every day, a statement of what each clerk is worth in *profits.* Will tell you how to know every day, all the year around, what is on your shelves—which stock *moves* and which *doesn't.* Why shouldn't *you* have at your fingers' ends as much success-producing information as any other retailer? We'll send the book to every retailer who tells us how *he* figures the problem. Figure it on your letterhead or ask for the book.

Main St. # INDIGNANT BECAUSE HE WAS ARRESTED ON A VAGRANCY CHARGE With his head swathed in bandages, which were soaked through with blood, Ed Wilson appeared in the police court this morning and indignantly denied that he was a vagrant. Chief Murphy testified that Wilson found his way to "Red" Foley's cabin last night with a wound on his head that appeared as though it was made by a bullet. When Foley told him to leave he refused to go and the police were notified. Wilson claimed he came to Butte from Anaconda yesterday and begged to be let off with a suspended sentence, but the police judge sent him to the county jail for 20 days.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has proven its great merit in such cases and is really the medicine to help you. Try it. ## Column 2 # GIRL BUYS MAN IN ONE INSTANCE ## More Details of Workings of That Alleged "Marriage Market." Los Angeles, Jan. 6.—As a result of charges made by Elsie Navakoff, a 17-year-old Russian girl, that her parents had tried to sell her in marriage to a man whom she never had seen for a consideration of $500, it was announced by the authorities who investigated the irregular matrimonial doings in the Molokone colony, that all members of the colony had indicated a willingness to have the ceremonies performed over again after they had secured the necessary licenses. Mme. J. Von Wagner of the city housing committee stated that at least one illegal marriage a week was performed in the Molokone colony. "These people are ignorant and follow the teachings of their forefathers with resolute faith," she said. "I do not think there is any such thing as buying brides or forced marriages in the colony. I do not know of any specific case of actual payment for a bride, but am told of many where 'gifts' are exchanged. These 'gifts' are always of a money consideration and are received by the father of the bride from the groom, but I have knowledge of one case where the girl bought the man." The immigration service and the district attorney's office are investigating the matter. # THESE MEN LOUD IN BUTTE'S PRAISE ## Railroad Representatives Are Unanimous—Many Visit the City. Butte's place on the railroad map is marked by the daily visitation of traveling railway agents from all parts of the United States in search of their share of the trade that passes through the mountain sentinels of the mining city. From east and west, from the north and south, local offices of railway companies are each day visited by well paid traveling men who solicit trade. Nor are their visits devoid of interest. They all have the same story. "Butte is the best town in the great west." "It is far ahead of the cities of the east in proportion to its extent." "It is livelier than the southern cities." "It has the finest prospects of them all." That is the way they all talk of Butte, and they laugh in derision when a weak-backed one suggests that times "are not quite as good as they used to be in Butte." No later than this morning arrived three traveling agents of the Northern Pacific. They are: James L. Burnham, traveling freight agent at Jamestown, N. D.; J. G. Sanders, traveling freight agent at Miles City; John H. Runyon, traveling freight agent at St. Paul. Each of them expressed to the local officers their delight at the outlook for Butte at the present time. Coming from the east, where the black wail is still heard, they found in the bustling air of Butte a delightful relaxation which proved a tonic to their nerves and an inspiration to their business hopes. They are on a tour of the Northern Pacific and other lines to the coast, and will return by another line. They said that the weather here was not near so severe as in some of the eastern cities. # DESERTED WIFE GETS DECREE OF DIVORCE FROM HER HUSBAND Mrs. S. Lucile McBride was today granted a divorce from her husband, Thomas McBride, by Judge McClernan. The couple were married in this city on September 19, 1901, and the defendant deserted his wife, according to her testimony, a little over one year ago. Mrs. McBride informed the court that her husband had been drinking considerably and that she had to give him money of her own on two occasions for the purpose of paying bills, while he spent his own money on whisky. She said that on one occasion she gave him a check for $60 and on another occasion a check for $80. Mrs. McBride said that she did not have any quarrel with her husband except on account of his drinking and that he left her without any cause. There is an agreement between the couple that the father shall have the custody of a 9-year-old child. ### HENRY BROWN IS DEAD. Henry Brown, who was injured at the Leonard mine while handling a car of timbers last Sunday, died this morning at 5:30 o'clock at Murray's hospital. Brown was running a car of timber down the track and permitted it to bump into a stationary car which was on the same track. Deputy Coroner Binder has investigated the case and will hold an inquest next week. ### STUFFING WITH ONIONS. If the grated or very finely chopped onion with which the stuffing of fowls is flavored is fried in a bit of fat until it is brown, not burned, it will give a better flavor to the dressing than if it only cooks with the mixture. A cooking teacher recommends that onion for dressings be cut crosswise instead of lengthwise, so that long strips of the vegetable may not linger in the teeth. ## Column 3 SYRUP OF FIGS AND ELIXIR OF SENNA Cleanses the System effectually; Dispels colds and Headaches, due to constipation.

The Butte Gaelic league held its first meeting of the year last evening in the form of a welcome social to members and their friends. There was a large attendance and the enrollment before the opening of the entertainment was the largest in the history of the league. The first vice president, Miss Annie Sullivan, attended and spoke of the spirit which should fill the members of the league. She told of the early struggles and noted the degrees of progress. John J. Walsh, a recent arrival in Butte from Chicago, is one of those who joined the league last evening. He has been in Butte for the past three months and is studying for the bar. Among those who took part in the entertainment last evening were the following: Introduction, John C. Murphy; step dancing, Misses Mary McCarthy and Nellie Burke, accompanied by Peter McBrian; song in Gaelic by the children of the Gaelic league; duet, Misses Mary and Josie McCarthy, accompanied by Miss Julia Burke; violin duet, Masters Frank Connell and James Downey; four-hand reel, Patrick O'Brien, Daniel Leahy and Abbie Leahy and Mary Healy, accompanist, Peter McBrian; duet, Misses Margie Sullivan and Helen Downey, accompanied by Miss Margie Downey; step dancing, Miss Abbie Lowney and Daniel Leahy; four-hand jig, Patrick O'Brien, Daniel Leahy, Misses Norah Sullivan and Katie Holland.

Only One "BROMO QUININE," that is Laxative Bromo Quinine Cures a Cold in One Day, Grip in 2 Days [signature: E. W. Grove] on Box. 25c ### BROTHER-IN-LAW OBJECTS. Ivan Beneff, brother-in-law of the late Evan Dimitroff, who was killed on the Northern Pacific railway November 16, 1911, has filed with the clerk of the district court objections to letters of administration being issued to A. B. Melzner, public administrator, until at least such time as the widow can be heard from. Beneff also objects to any attempt being made to have letters of administration issued to Petro M.

I expect to try it after Christmas."—Washington Herald. # STOMACH DISTRESS INDIGESTION AND DYSPEPSIA VANISH Every year regularly more than a million stomach sufferers in the United States, England and Canada take Pape's Diapepsin, and realize not only immediate, but lasting relief. This harmless preparation will digest anything you eat and overcome a sour, gassy or out-of-order stomach five minutes afterwards. If your meals don't fit comfortably, or what you eat lies like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Get from your Pharmacist a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a dose just as soon as you can. There will be no sour risings, no belching of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or Intestinal griping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no sour food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors. Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure for out-of-order stomachs, because it takes hold of your food and digests it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Relief in five minutes from all stomach misery is waiting for you at any drug store. These large 50-cent cases contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure almost any case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion or any other stomach disorder. ## Column 4 # REASONABLE COAL RATE IN DISPUTE ## Issue Is Submitted at Helena. Large Sum in Hands of Court. Helena, Jan. 6.—The question of whether 35 cents a ton is a reasonable rate for the Montana, Wyoming & Southern railway, running from Bridger, in Carbon county, to the Bear Creek coal mines, 27 miles distant, was argued and submitted to Circuit Judge William H. Hunt today in the application of the railway company for a writ of injunction to prevent the Montana railway commission from enforcing its ruling for a 35-cent rate. The case, which is the first injunction suit against the railroad commission of this state, was heard before a master in chancery, who reported findings supporting the claim of the railway that the 35-cent rate for the 27-mile haul was confiscatory and holding that 45 cents was a reasonable rate. A temporary restraining order was issued by the federal court upon the filing of the suit in October, 1910, under the terms of which the railroad company has been collecting from the shipper at the 45-cent rate and paying into court 10 cents for each ton of coal hauled by it. The money now in the custody of the court amounts to over $35,000. # MAKE A RECORD RUN DOWN MAIN ## Mail Wagon Takes Slide From Granite to Park—No One Hurt. The United States mail wagon went down Main street faster last night than it ever went before, and those who heard the wind of the wagon passing by said that a record must have been established. The pole pin broke at Granite street and in a flash the wagon was at the corner of Main and Park streets. The horses endeavored to swerve as they passed by the Oregon Short Line office. The driver, Ed Harrington, pluckily stuck to his seat. The horses swung to the saloon on the opposite corner. One horse went one side and one the other side of the pole. They fell heavily. Harrington was flung at least 20 feet. The wagon broke away from the horses. A crowd quickly gathered. Willing hands held the fallen steeds until they were released. Harrington was unhurt, as were the horses. The horses belonged to Tom Lavell. ### BUTTE IN BRIEF Arthur W. Copp, superintendent of the western division of the Associated Press, with headquarters at San Francisco, and J. C.

Some of the time really [ill?]? Catch cold easily and frequently suffer from biliousness or headache? The reason is that your system does not rid itself of the poisons in the blood; just as impossible as it is for the grate of a stove to rid itself of clinkers. The waste does to us exactly what the clinkers do to the stove; make the fires burn low until enough clinkers have accumulated and then prevent its burning at all. Your liver is sluggish—you are dull and heavy—sleep does not rest, nor is food appetizing. In this condition illness develops. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery eradicates the poisons from the body—a glyceric alterative extract made from bloodroot, golden seal and mandrake root, stone and queen's root, without the use of alcohol. No matter how strong the constitution the stomach is apt to be "out of kilter" at times; in consequence the blood is disordered, for the stomach is the laboratory for the constant manufacture of blood. [portrait: Mrs. Blake, in an oval frame] MRS. BENJ. BLAKE, of Port Dover, Ont., Box 36, writes: "I have been a great sufferer for years from throat trouble, catarrh, indigestion, female troubles, bloating, constipation and nervousness—at times I would be in bed, then able to be up again. Was under many different doctors' care, and would get better for a little while, then I would go down with chronic inflammation all through me. For nineteen years I had this poison in my blood. After trying nearly everything I got worse. I read in The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I have taken the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets,' and have used five bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I am now able to do my work and walk with pleasure. I feel like a new woman. I enjoy everything around me and thank God for letting me live long enough to find something that made me well again." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate liver and bowels. MRS. BLAKE. Butte from Missoula yesterday and left today for Helena.

FOR RHEUMATISM [spans columns 5-6] Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which gradually gets into the circulation because of indigestion, constipation, weak kidney action, and other irregularities of the system which are sometimes considered of no importance. This uric acid causes an inflamed and irritated condition of the blood, and the circulation instead of nourishing the different portions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues and joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Rheumatism can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is just what S. S. S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutralizing the uric acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and surely removes the cause. S. S. S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony thoughout [sic] the system, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suffering caused by this disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice desired sent free to all who write.

Danville, Ill., Jan. 6.—That Wall street is responsible for every panic the country has suffered and none would have occurred if the federal government, when the first symptoms appeared had threatened to sue for receivership for the principal banking institutions unless they stemmed the disaster, was declared by Senator Robert M. LaFollette in the closing address of his speaking campaign in Illinois today. Water should be squeezed out of over-capitalized corporations, he said, and the government should prevent their combining with banks to exploit the public for profit. The senator left this city for Terre Haute, Ind., where he is scheduled to speak late today. He will deliver an address at Richmond, Ind., tonight. ### LIKE A TATTOO ARTIST. Richard Le Gallienne, the poet, said in a New York magazine office, apropos of the paltry pension recently granted by the British government to William Butler Yeats: "It is not a good age for poetry. The poet might work his eighteen hours a day, he might work as hard—yes, and as successfully—as Edison, and still lack food and shelter. "I once met a red-haired poet in Philadelphia. Discussing the evil days on which poetry had fallen, this man said, bitterly: " 'I'm a poet, not a tattoo artist; yet it is a literal fact that I do all my writing—absolutely all of it—on an empty stomach.' "—New York Tribune. ### WRONG FORGETTING. She—Don't Mr. Briggs and his wife ever forget their differences? He—Why, yes, in a way. He forgets that he is a gentleman and she forgets that she is a lady.
