1t Is Indispensable.

In olden times newspapers We're consid-
cred valuable to readers only for their
news, and advertisements were mere in
cidental surplusage, inserted by mer-
chants as a sort of charity to help fill up
the paper, and rarely attracted attention.
Today the newspaper is indispensable,
not only to the merchant but to the
shoppers of the family as the universally
accepted medium Of attracting business.
Advertisements are no longer the reg
1lation musty affairs they used to be.
They are among the most artistic and
attractive features of the popular news
paper, and the frugal housewife scans
the fresh business announcements of
each day or week as carefully as tho
dealer or speculator scans the produce or
money market. Those business houses
who patronize the newspapers are the
ones who secure the bulk of trade. The
carefully edited, compact, fresh, com
plete, cheap and neatly printed newspa-
per is the popular favorite, and the only
channel through which the public can be
reached, either for business or senti-
ment.

three years of age will enter the class of

Under whatever circumstances 10 10

set was 90 foul and fendish that even the

are grieved and horri6ed over the trag-
edy.
William ]. Penrose had faults aud viz
tues not q few; sometimes in his paper
he was wrong. sometimes be was right;
at all times be was brave and outspoken.
He was . generous foe. he did not, Ike
the guilty creature who murdered him,
assAil his enemies in the dark. He did
not with stealthy canning strike q
wares like . coward. A. all times be
was a manly 6ghter and was ready &c
defend his theories with pen or pistol or
his good right arm. For these reasons

dorse his beliefs, did not asser. tia. they
were not honest; for these reasons the
people Of Butte, even while they con-
demned his course in some matters, res
pected the Independence Of spirit that
Was behind it. At times Penrose was 8
turbulent and aggressive man. On many
occasions in bis eventful life be has gone
to extremes Of violence and advised force
