Burglary Again.

Last Saturday night thief robbed
L. W. Adams's cash drawer of what
small change there was in it and took
a pair Of boots and a pair of shoes,
and probably other things that have
not been missed. Mr.. Adams said
nothing about it. but "laid for" the
burglar the next night, He suspec-
ted that he had sneaked up stairs and
hid himself before the house was
closed. Acting under this impression,
he took a candle in one hand and a
pistol in the other and explored the
upper room before leaving. He found
a negro hid behind some boxes and
ordered him out, but be would not
move nor show his face. Not wish0
ing to kill him, Mr.. Adams went
down to the 'front.' door and called
Marshall Lusk to help make the ar
rest. While there the negro tip, toed
down stairs and escaped through the
hack window before he could be cap
tured. No arrest has yet been made,
but it is hoped the thief may he
caught Or shot by some one. There is
too much house-breaking going on
here, and an example will have to he
made by somebody.

Silver dollars are only unpopular
because dudes have come to regard
them as being vulgar, and hope to
drive them out of circulation by decry-
ing their value. They say they are
only worth eighty cents each, The

cago dealer, of whom we buy paper,
sent Us u statement Of account at the
end Of the mOnth-balance due one
hundred dollars. One hundred silver
dollars pays him. Does any gold bug
tell us he would have accepted four
double eagles and receipted our bill
VI course not; they know better. But
we did not send him the silver; we
stepped into the Exchange bank with

then, Is the silver dollar lacking? Oh.
that's 1t, eh? 1t will not pay foreign
Indebtedness. But we don't owe any:
and the fact doesn't make any differ
ence to It's what importers and bankers
do. Well, what of it? Let them take
care of themselves; they are abund.
antly able. Let those who drink |

goods pay for them. American prod |
ucts are good enough, and the big dol |
lar Is good enough for forty-nine and "A
half of the fifty millions Of Americans /

decrease in her trade, would be taught

ably successful one for the Montana
Company, the yield being 500, ,S31. 10,
this being the first time the monthly

and. This marks an era i'm the history
OF the mine, and the sharch olders may
well look with pride upon the success
OF their property during the year 1885.
ana may even expect greater results
the present year. The mine is showing

into the chair usually occupied by the

Ingalls, was half dazed at the sudden

NO, l DON'T" was the reply, 'but

him out, for he's SO ugly his photo

ask:

the distorted features of the senator.
and then replied:
"Well, il thought he had worse
