The Unfortunate Baggage Gentleman
burlington Hawkayel

burlington haWkoyol
An Aged Trunk sat back IN tho dark COR
ner of the car and refused to bulge when the
baggage gentleman called him out The
baggaSeman in great wrath advanced and
seized the venerable Saratoga by the handle.
Gently, friend, gently" said the Trunk,

But the -baggageman ave 1t a yank that
pulled 1t out by the roots. IN than, with viz

baggage replied the Aged Trunk, my solr
mission and duty in life + 70 get on the wrong
train Failing in that, l I'M content merely
10 20 TO the wrong hotsl, although / would
prefer TO lose my check and get lost entirely.
You will find the remaining handle at the
other end"
The baggagemRn walked around and
caught hold OF the surviving handle. By
placing his feet against the end OF the trun4
and holding on with both hands, he was able
10 pull of this one in three strong pulls
Then the Aged Trunk closed It's eyes, leaned
back and simply said;
And this ia where l must get OF, too

crash that announced the ruin he had
wrought, he sank 10 the door OF the car, say.

THE PresldSnt1al Candidate of the Pro-
h1bltion Party

We have heretofore presented oul
readers with portraits OF the presidential
candidates of the republican, democratic
and greenback parties, and to complete
the list of candidates in the field for the
great office of the presidency we here
with publish an excellent likeness OF
Ex-Governor st. John, of Kansas, who,
with William Daniel of Maryland, will
lead the prohibitionists in the coming
campaign.
John T. st. John, nominated by his
marty as its presidential candidate, was
born at Rockville, Indiana, Feb. 25, 1888,
and is in his tiftyfirst year. His father
was farmer, somewhat addicated to
Incorporate habits and young st. John
after spending his early boyhood labor
ING upon his fathers farm, engaged
himself as clerk in grocery, in which
capacity he served until nearly twenty
wears of age, employing all his leisure
hours in hard study of the lower branch
es of education. California now attract
ed the young man to the Pacific coast,
where he spent several years in such
occupations as wood chopper and a
steamboat hand. During this period
st. John made voyages to Mexico,
South America and the Sandwich ISL
ands and tour through Central Ameri-
ca. In 1852 and 1853 he enlisted in the
war against the Indians and was very
seriously wounded in two engagements.
In these years of hardship young st.
John managed to gain very respectable
knowledge of the law, and in 1860 he
engaged as a clerk with law firm in
Charlton, Ill. In short time he be-
came a partner in the concern, but at the
outbreak of the war he patriotically
enlisted as a private in the Sixty-eighth
Illinois volunteers. At the close of hos
tllities he had risen to the rank of Lieut..
Colonel He now settled at Indepen-
dence, No.. and began the practice Of
his profession, but in 1869 he removed
to Olathe, Kansas, and here began his
active career in politics. In 1872 he was
sent to the state senate, and in 1873, and
again in 1880, was elected governor OF
Kansas. He was in these years recog-
nized leader of the republican party,
but his extreme views on temperance
legislation and prohibition have caused
him to forsake the former party and be-
come an ardent worker in the ranks OF
the prohibitionists, whom he now leads
as their national candidate.
Mr.. st, John is a man OF fine presence
and unimpeachable character. His
convictions are maintained with a vigor
and ability that command admiration
from all, if not a full endorsement OF
the opportuneness Of their promulga-
ton.

Messrs. Swope, Hilger, Brooks, Cook
and Fergus, who drove their focks to
the mouth of the Judith to shear them,
are well pleased with the result. They
shipped their wool by boat at a through
rate, at $l.90 per hundred pounds to
Boston.
The crops have ripened rapidly along
the upper Yellowstone, owing to the
warm, dry weather. The range is crisp
and dry, presenting great contrast to
Smith river, Judith and other valleys,
where showers have been more frequent
and the landscape is green.

Editors of the River Press:
An article signed tMontanacus, in a
recent issue OF the Northwestern Live
Stock Journal, sounds for the most part
as if written to crafty personal plque.
I do not know who the writer is but /
have strong suspicious it is member of
the Shonkin Stock association who de-
sired to be sent as delegate to the con-
vention recently held at Helena. This
honor, however, was not given him and
he vents his spleen upon his fellow own
ers of stock belonging to the same asso-
citation in the following manner, which
does not exhibit spirit of good-felloW-
ship:
The Shonkin Stock association is about
the best of its kind in the territory, but
there is world of room for improve
ment. About half Of its members are
of the old fossil type, content with the
little they have acquired by accident,
and hope that things will always go on
the same.
This in itself is direct insult to the
association. as a body, and IT its author
ship is discovered will no doubt lead to
his expulsion from the organization. |
do. not believe that men who have fol-
lowed the stock business for years can
be taught by a fedgling with perhaps
four or five years experience, nor Will
they endure to be insulted by brother
member Of the association who, to graf
ifv his malice at not being able to direct
its affairs, flies to thesneWspaper TO let
the whole world know how angry he IS.

with two wheels off for about 800 yards

some tall work Of conductors and brake

Poisoned Ducks.

J. o. Gilkerson, Dave Mcdaniel and
one or two others have returned from
trip to the lakes, near HarWood's. Ihey
report slough emptying into one OF the
lakes as being literally covered WIN
dead ducks and are of opinion that the
birds were poisoned, as there are enough
deal lying On the ground to load four.
horse team. They killed one or two OF
those which were nearly dead, cut them
open, and satisfied themselves from the
appearance of the intestines and of the
action of the birds before being
killed, that they were poisoned. One
day last week man brought into town
batch of 232 birds which he reported
to have killed in ten hours shooting.
Some of those that were sold in town
were not fit to eat, the flesh OF many
having turned green, and no shot marks
on them Unfortunately there is no
law to reach any one guilty of poisoning
birds. but we believe there is penalty
f,r selling diseased Or tainted meats,
and if it can be proven the parties
should be punished.

Petition for a Reward.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 21.-
Four of the leading Mormon elders to-
day presented a sworn petition to Gov
ernor Bates, asking that reward De
offered for the apprehension OF those
engaged in the Lewis county massacre
on Sunday, August 10th. The petition
sets forth that the prejudice against the
Mormons of this state is based on ignor-
ance; it denies the charge that the Nor
mons have baptized women in a nude
state; also that Mormon elders have
ever tried to break up families or mislead
women. Tt further denies that the
Mormons have ever attempted to intro
duce polygamy into Tennessee Or any
other state, and sets forth that every
elder at work in the southern mission is
pledged by most sacred vows to chastity.
Governor Bates will offer a reward as
asked tomorrow. It is believed that
the massacre in Lewis county will have
the effect of discouraging mission opera
tions in this state.
