ihe following poem was written for the TluE
Icy our talented friend and boss harness mak,-
Gus WNard:
My aim is to make my work Of good leather
And stitch it with thread that will hold Il
together;
l have harness trimmed with silver, Japan and
brass
To suit the large horse, the pony or ass:
! have haltCrs with three rings, AMI othtrr
with three,
fyou don't believe there good ones Just call
in and see;
And webbing for back-bands some four ineh.r
wide;
They are nice things for summer, for they have
been tried;
have brides for stations, the gelding and
mare;
Bits plated with silver, and snaps made with
wire;
Biting brides for colts to teach them TO know
The ways of the world and in what shape 10 go
Those in want Of such articles just give me a
call;
If can't show you good work I'll show none
at all;
wish not large profit on work that sell
\ good, honest living will 10 me quite well
But tr me and see, and ask for no more
You Will see my sign ont, and me within
so make me a visit and you' II come again,

Why They Didn't Lynch rh EN-.

Said Hon. S. Wright. OF Nevada,
while sitting near the spring Sunday
morning. Il suppose | saved the
Stars from being lynched when they
were first arrested. Excitement was
pretty high, and everybody saw that
the only thing lacking was a leader
tor the consumation Of A tragedy
that would be reproach to our CITY
With many good citizens | went
around among them; whose lower
ing countenance could be read a de
sire to revenge the death of old man
Sewell and son, and spoke to them
of the majesty OF the law, and of the
stain which su mmary execution
would put upon our city's far cs-
cutcheon; | told them that while the
STAIRS Were undoubtedly guilty and
would eventually be hung, an impair
tial trial was their right. My words
tell as on deafened ears. They said,
Let us guard against any possible
slip. and save expense to the county,
saw at once that different course
must be taken or the prisoners would
never see the daylight of another dav.
| went to a saloon keeper who was
one OF the foremost advocates of m o b
law, and said |, Jake, hold these
fellows off. Think what days
trade you will lose if the Stairs are
lynched. You know Fox's crime
was not very brutal one and vet
ten thousand people came to see
HIM executed. IT a man and woman
are hing for crime SO henious as
the one of which the Stairs are guilty,
dom. you know the sight will draw
fifty thousand people to our city.
Look to your interest and have this
mobhing business stopped A kind
Of scared look cane into Jake's face
when he saw the situation and he
said, 'By blank, Wright, believe
you're right. Pm IN favor of a reg
ular hanging In less than an hour
the mob had dispersed ,-EIdorado

refer to the croquet party given at
the residence of Mr.. Lewis, on
Thursday eve, the Goth. At an
early hour the guests began to arrive
and soon the house and surrounding
grounds were teeming with guest.
They eng gagged IN games and music
to while away the hours until supper
was announced. Now, Mr.. Editor,
our pen proves inadequate to the
task. but the table was loaded with
delicious siands and the guest de-
parted at late hour, one and all
voting Miss Renie princess of

ana hospitality extended to them
during their stay in their midst.
J. II. Crawford and wife paid a

Strange, but how very popular we
country folks are getting with certain
parties. Oh. we don't mean TO IN
sinuate that they are politicians, but
still It's funny to see the gents with
such dainty hands grasp the hard
and toil-worn palm of the sturdy
farmer. But they can vote. Ha, ha.
Messrs. Observer and SiIabuster
deny the charge OF beng bachelors.
gentlemen, we rciterate that YOU are

are fighting us with some one else to

Bob Ingersoll's Income.

Let us indulge, as to Ingersoll, lr
measurement of him by the pecu-
liary American standard OF cash. Has
his berating OF Christianity Welded a
fortune? A man coversant with his
affairs estimates Itat $500, 900, more
than half of which has been gained
through lecturlng and the rest by law
practice and shrewd investments, He
has maintained his family luxurious
ly. and his purse strings are never
tightly tied. 1t may be sald indis-
putably that his income is larger than
that of any clergyman in the United
States. The largest salary paid to
pastor is Henry Ward Beecher's
$4,000. Rev. DR.. John Hall comes
next, with SI2, 900 and a parsonage
worth half as much more, besides
S., 900 from Bonner for Ledger al
tlcles. lngersolls annual income as
a lecturer has been over $40, 900 and
clear. 1t IS doubtful if Beecher, leo

the "glad tidings," that the great In

was liable to be thrown open to settle

and pays homage to him whom they
would have fought to the bite. end
had he been a candidate for another

Delegate Martin Maginpis is doing
yeoman for Northern Montana ut the
National capital, as shown by the very
favOrably progress being made by his
bill to open to settlement the Northern
reservation. Obstacles without num-
her presented themselves, some of
them apparently insurmOuntable, but
by his persistence and faithful labor all
have vanished. and the dearest wish Of
the people of Northern Montana is
about to be realized. With the pass.

consider himself solid man i'm this

II he is not the first senator for the
