Estimates as'to the loss in the northwest last winter are that iu Montana there were 400,000 head, and in Idaho about 100,000; in Wyoming about 3C0.0C3 and in Colorado about 500,000, or about 850,000 head in all. During the summer on account of the excessive drought it is estimated that the losses in the beef producing states will swell the total to 1,500,000 head of beeves. GLADSTONE JOSTLT. SAKGUIKE. London', Aug. 26. In an interview with Gladstone in reply to a question as to whether he expected to defeat the government to-night he said: "No; we don't expect to do that, but tne fact Mat a year ago the govern ment's majority was 110 while now the most sanguine conservatives an ticipate a majority of only CO on pro claiming the league shows what a tremendous change ha3 come over the face of the country. The change is coming more rapidly than many people imagine, and in fact quite fast enough." Gladstone seemed to be in high spirits, and declared he was in excellent health. A GOVEBNiTENTAti EFFORT.

By executive order signed under great excitement governor Gordon has called on the lessees of the penitentiary, companies Nos. 2 and 3, to show cause why their leases should not be annulled and there is no doubt as to the governor's intention to declare the lease an nulled owing to the violation of its provisions by the lessees. Give Them a Chance! That is to say, your lungs. Also your breathing machinery." Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages, but the thous ands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter wbich ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do, they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu monia, catarrh, consumption'or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them, that is to take Boschee's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, you may.depend upon this for certain. Rises From the Anxious Seat. St. John says that next year the prohibition vote will be a million.
