TWO YEARS SINCE JUDGE RIvES, HON.
l. Thomas Wren. Hon. II. d. Foley and R.
sadler purchased the Eureka Evening Leader.
1t was agreed at the time Of the purchase that
the paper should be continued as 1t had here
tofore been-s Republican paper.
For q long time prior to. and during the re-
cent political campaign, the undersigned had
been and was the editor OF the Leader. During
the campaign I gave gres: effense to Mr.. Ssdler
by my political action. After shs election Mr..
Sadler demanded my discharge e. editor, and
upon the failure OF the Republican proprietors
to promptly remove me, Mr.. sadler CON-
menced suit for 3 dissolution of the partner
ship. and by stipulation In the suit the paper
was yesterday sold. the Democratic members
OF the firm becoming the purchasers. By this
sale the paper loses its Republican character,
snd, believing that 8 Republican paper should
be published In Eureka county. and not feel
ing inclined to submit to Mr.. ssdler's bull
dosing, I will commence, on next Sunday
Nov. 80, the publication Of The Republican
Press. a thoroughly Republican paper, to be
issued for the present weekly. and as soon as
business Will Justify 1t, daily. During the
coming week l propose to canvass the county

adds: ''The long scroll Of abuse. male

After a careful reading of this para

much for an unabridged dictionary as

him.

Worth TRYING.

DR.. Henry Tucker recommends, in the
Southern Medical Review, the following
very simple remedy in the treatment of
~hiccough, namely: Moisten ~granulated
sugar with vinegar. OF this give an in
FAINT from a few grains to a teaspoonful.
The effect, he says, is almost ~instantan-
eous, and the dose seldom needs to be re-
peated. He has used it for all ages-from
infants q few months old to those on the
down-hill side of life-and has never known
it to fail. The remedy is certainly a very
simple one. and, although no theory is adj
vanced to account for it's wonderful action,
il merits a trial.

FL RIVER PRESS.

salutatory MI. Stevens declares the pol
icy of the paper to be independent in
all things, except in its unalterable de-
votion to Townsend and the beautiful
Missouri valley, where it expects to
grow UP and flourish like a green bay
tree. If the first issue of the Tranchant
is a fair sample of what is to follow, the
citizens of Townsend are certainly to be
congratulated upon their paper. It
would be worthy of a town Of ten times
the age and population. The only thing
in the way of adverse criticism would
be in reference to that horrible, unheard-
of, jaw-breaking-but, then, what's in a
name, anyhow? Tranchant will do as
well as any other if there is something
meriterious between the column rules,
as happily is the case in this instance.
The RIVER PRESS extends it's best
wishes to the Tranchant and trusts it's
stay in the valley will be longer than
the pronunciation Of it's name, in one
sense. would indicate.

Philbrook.

Captain J. w. Dewey is making a fine
plat OF the newly surveyed town OF
Philbreok, on the Judith. The town
site comprises some 100 acres, lying OF
both sides of the river. The blocks are
32Ox320 feet, with 20 foot alleys and
streets so feet wide, except Broadway,
which is widened to IS feet. The bust
ness lots are 55x150 feet, and 90 to the
block; the residence. lots, 75x14O feet.
Ample grounds (some eight acres have
been reserved for the park of the future
city. and lots for religious and educa-
tional structures have been reserved by
the generous proprietor. AS is well
known, Mr.. E. J. Morrison is the lead
ing spirit Of this new burg and also the
owner Of the town site. BY his energy
a nucleus for a thriving town has been
already started at Philbrook, which now
comprises the Hotel de Judith, a store,
blacksmith shop, feed stable and last but
not least, a saloon. The town is well
situated near the center of the Judith
Basin, which has the reputation of be
ing the garden spot of Montana. IT the
Billings-Benton branch of the Northern
Pacific should cross the Judith river at
this point Mr.. Morrison would soon
have some valuable corner lots which
could easily be disposed of at a big
figure.
