Wyoming is all excitement over the
late gold find at Lander and Cheyenne.
It is like picking up twenty dollar gold
pieces. Latest reports say the rock is
very similar to that which caused the
great California excitement in 1910; that
the vein lies close to the surface and
has been opened at several places for
100 feet, and that some of the rock will
assay 100000 to the ton. Wyoming
and Colorado, Tin Cup and Lander are
in q race this season to see which shall
record the richest discoveries.-Cor

The Topeka Capital says: The
farmers of Kansas and the farmers OF
North Carolina have no interests In
common. Shades of Judas IscarlOt
and Benedict Arnold raise up and
give your crowns of infamy and
treachcry to the Capital man, who
has sunk so low in the slime of parti-
san hate and party prejudice as to
seek to divide the people with false
statements. Such men as he are less
to be homOred than jeff Davis, and
that is getting fine. No interests in
common? Why,they have every inter-
est in common, and the Topeka Capt.
tai man knows it, and would advocate
the doctrine, too, II it were not for the
Doodle, the thirty pieces of silver he
gets for saying what he honestly
knows to be false. ''It we have no
interests in common" then it is better
that we divide at once and forever
close the mouths of such hirelings as
the Capital man. The farmers Of
Kansas are fighting for home, land,
and financial betterment. So are the
people of North Carolina. All our
interests so far as government, nation
al, is concerned are in common, and
might add local and state and not be
halfas far out of the way as the Capt.
tai Annanias. 1t is our common in

Sells Soap and Pictures.
BY the Standards special Wire.
BUTTE, June 81. Backstein, a gentle
man OF u~ndoubted Semitic extraction and
Polish accent, was arrested this afternoon
for peddling without a license. Mr..
Backstein claims to be the senior partner
in a firm styling itself the Enterprise
Soap company, and acts as solicitor and
general agent for the concern. His man
ner of doing business consists of going
from house to house and always asking for
the housekeeper, refusing to do business
with any other member of q family. Re-
ceiving satisfactory assurance, he then
unfolds his scheme. He will sell the
housekeeper 20 bars OF soap at 10 cents
a bar aud as a premium will give
an enlarged copy, 14xl1 inches,
OF a photograph elegantly framed, the
purchaser having the privilege of select
ing a frame from the company's stock on
hand. As an earnest of good intention
the ~housekeeper must deposit 81 with the
agent. but which amount is not credited
on the purchase price of the soap, making
in reality $3.50 which IL paid for the soap
and picture. The agent agrees to furnish
from five TO ten bars of soap weekly, TO
he paid for ut the regular rate of 10 cents
a bar. When forty-five bars of the SOAP
have been delivered the company binds
itself To surrender the picture upon the
subscriber taking the balance of thirty
bars.
Mr.. Backstein claims TO do n fair and
honest business. but this is disputed by
several parties who charge him with be-
ing a 'fakir." A well known city detec-
tive claims that the Enterprise Soap
company" has operated at Salt Lake City
and was compelled TO leave there because
Of its peculiar way of doing business.
Latterly, the detective claims, the con-
Germ turned up at Spokane Falls and now
at Butte. The detective is authority for
the statement hat failure to deliver the
pictures compelled the concern to change
its base so often. the company" only de-
livering the frame when the first
A. bars of soap had been used
up and then skipping" before the
balance could be delivered. II is hut
just to Backstein 10 say that he denies the
charge and also that he ever operated at
Salt Lake or Spokane Falls. BE thisa as il
may people cannot he too careful about
signing contracts with unknown parties
and buying goods from ~peddlers, espec-
tally as long as the same articles can be
cought from local merchants of known
standing and reputation.
Backstcin will he tried O for

dlers.

Attempted Fraud.
BY the Standards Special Wire.
BUTTE, June 3.-Some time ago Meyer
Strauss flashed like n meteor in the local
armament and led a gay and festive life.
Desiring a local habitation as well as
name he rented a room from Mrs. Ellie
Dodge, proprietess of the Willard house.
At an intimation on the part OF Mrs. Dodge
that sheckels equivalent to the value of
the room as a lodging place would prove
acceptable, Mr.. Strauss promptly ten
dered her n check on an eastern bank
made payable to himself. TIL face of
the check purported to be for sum much
larger h the amount Strauss owed the
lady. but this made no particular
Difference, Mrs. Dodge having ample
cash on hand with which to make up the
difference.
Mrs. Dodge forwarded the check to the
hank, and in due time a reply came back,
stating that Mr.. Strauss had no money
deposited to his credit in that particular
institution. All that remained for the
lady To do was to file complaint against
Strauss, charging him with obtaining
money under false ~pretense, but as the
gentleman had already left the city, the
prospects for securing his arrest appeared
very slight. Last Saturday, however, he
appeared again and soon thereafter was
arrested by Officer Leyden. To-day he
was arraigned and gave bonds i'm the sum
of $3.50 for his appearance tomorrow.

A Story Of Chinese Justice.

SAN FRANofsco, December 21.-
Chinese adrices report the execution
Of sentences on villagers near Shang-
hal, China, for the cruel murder Of
fourteen salt inspectors and burning
the bodies of the wounded and dead.
Last March these salt inspectors
made a raid on the village. They
wore no uniform and the villagers
mistook them for pirates. The
inspectors seized q pile of contraband
salt, which they found by tho side OF
a house, and while removing it to
their boats they were attacked by
the villagers and overpowered.
Nearly all were only stunned by
blows, but a visit to their boat showed
the villagers that they had attacked
the government officers, and fearful
of severe punishment they decided
to burn the boat and with it the
bodies of the under inspectors to
remove all traces of the crime. So
they carried the injured men to the
boat, and, despite their entreaties,
set fire to it and burned the whole.
The chief criminal was sentenced to
decapitation, but committed suicide
before the day arrived, and accord.
ing TO law his body was exhumed and
his head struck off and exhibited as
a warning to the public. -Four others
were strangled, and four were exilcd
after paying heavy fines.
