Parties desiring to engage in the sheep
business and looking for a ranch should
address E. j. Morrison, Philbrook, Mont.
Read his advertisement.
The last heard from Hon. Charles :. Hart
man, Republican nominee for congress-,
he WAS able to sit UP. 1t is hoped he viii
be able to visit this county.
The Mud Geyser says it will oppose Mr..
Mobiles candidacy only so far as party
fealty requires. of course it will not OPP
pose him. He was urged to take the indie
pendent (?) step by the Democrats, by the
Mud Geyser, if you please, and his candi-
dacy is in the interest of Mr.. Sullivan.
Why should it oppose Mr.. Noble?
II a stranger were to read the Mud Gey-
ser, knowing nothing Of the affairs OF this
county, he would naturally think the
sheriff's office was the only one to be filed
at the coming election. The other Demo
cratic candidates have failed to put up for
the support OF the sheet; or perhaps they
have put up money to keep the paper quiet,
y. T. Dinsmore, formerly OF Maiden but
now of Castle, arrived in town last Satur-
day on private business. Mr.. Dinsmore
recently returned from the coast, where he
we:.t to look up a business location He
has concluded to locate in Astoria, and
will move his stock of gents furnishing
goods to that place at once.
The editor OF the Mud Geyser, who
writes his own communications, has a few
complimentary words for Prof. Parent.
What a pity that Professor cannot return
the compliment. He has been heard to
say more than once that the Mud Geyser
was a disgrace to the Democratic party.
He has not changed his mind in this par
ticular.
While you are talking about rings" how
does this strike you? Sheriff, Maurice Sui
livan; county attorney, +. F. MacGowan,
Mr.. S%ullivan's under-sheriff; Justice of the
peace. T.. MacGowan, F. +. MacGowan's
father; commissioners, II. p. Brooks and
Ii. o. Warenam. II would not be II Tweed
ring because it would not have the
amount of money at its disposal that the
Tweed ring had, and would not he backed
by the same amount of ability, but il
would he II very comfortable little ring,
nevertheless.
Hon. james Fergus came in from his
ranch Sunday and remained over to at
tend the meeting on Monday evening. He
brought with him and left at the ARGUs
office several varieties of fruit which he
raised this year. The samples consist OF
standard apples and Transcendant and
ether crabs. Mr.. Fergus says lie raised
about twelve bushels altogether, and gath
cred nearly "a barrel OF crabs from one tree.
The fruit is well developed and of excellent
flavor. The efforts of Mr.. Fergus prove
what can he done in the way of fruit rails
ing in Montana when great patience and
care are used, and where the location is
favorable.
II. w. Noble, Democratic candidate No.
=, in order to fill his contract will the
company will resort to most any means
To deceive voters. We learn from "A well.
known citizen of Maiden, who had IA CON
versution with Noble recently, that the
latter misstates the proceedings of the con-
v~ention relative to the nomination OF
sheriff. Mr.. Noble claimed that the motion
put was to make the nomination unani-
nous. No such motion was made. The
motion by Mr.. Bower was that Mr.. Burg's
nomination be made by reclamation.
There is IA great difference in the two, and
no voter should be misled by a wrong
statement OF the facts.
The Lewistown Democrat il attacking
Charley Burg on account of his nation
atty. 1t characterizes him as a Jew -
and for that reason claims that he is not
entitled To the support of the people. Ev.
identity the Democrat is not aware that
many of the most rominent business men
and influential citizens of this state are
lineal descendants OF the good old Mosai,
Hebrew stock. The gentle editor of Lew,
istown ought to produce some valid reason
for attacking Mr.. Burg or else confess that
personal considerations are the grounds
upon which he bases his opposition to
him. An appeal to race preiudices is un.
manly and will not meet with a iavorabl,
response from a discerning western popu
lace.-Livingston Post.
r. W. Noble, Democratic candidate No
2 for sheriff, kept the nail heads in the side
walk polished bright last eek in his tramp
from the hotel to the Office of the MUD
Geyser. A circular written by the editol
and printed in that office was sent out an
nouncing Mr.. Mobiles candidacy for sheriff
There was some question whether h,
should himself as an independent
or independent Republican," But afte
due consideration he chose the latter
thinking he might catch "A few more votes
Mr.. Mobiles work and that Of the ''com

immediate relatives and a number OF Dem
