To SOME of the newspaper boys who
kindly exchange with us we would
suggest that since the winter has
actually closed in it would be a good
plan for you to buy new ink roller
and stir some coal-oiI in your ink. It
hurts our eyes to read paper that has
the appearance of being the battle
ground of a couple of chimney sweeps.

The republicans do not love the
democrats near as we'll now as they
did few months before the late cleo
tion. Krouch, Mitchell, Harris and
that gang should be proud of the COM
plimentary things the fellows they are
training with are now saying about
democrats. Here is a delicate morsel
from the pen of Old Sol Miller of the
Troy Chief:

If THE democratic press of Kansas
is to be unit for the upbuilding of the
party let the next meeting of the DEM
ocratic editorial fraternity be freed
from the presence of such scheming
politicians and manipulators as Bill
Mitchell, who was the only outsider
whose presence we noticed at the last
meeting. The interests of Kansas
democratic editors have nothing to do
with the interests of men who avowedly
worked for the building up of the re-
publican party.

The Last of The Cooley Gang.


The Uniontown (Pa.) Genius of
last week says: ga gentleman of
the southern part of Fayette county,
who was over the line in West Vir-
ginia last Thursday came across
four members of the Cooley gang,
camping out in an old deserted
lumberman's camp. They claimed
to be hunting and fishing, and
seemed IN destitute circumstances.
One of them had no shoes, and all
were poorly clad. They had a
horse with them, which they at
tempted to sell for three dollars,
and upon failing to get buyer
they took the bride off and turned
the horse loose. They did not
seem inclined to steal, but went to
a house and wanted to trade a pis-
tol for something to eat. The gem
tleman to whom they applied for
food gave them a bushel of potatoes,
but would not take the revolver.
The gentleman who was telling us
of the remnant of the Cooley gang
said he knew two of them and two
were strangers. They talked to
him and said they were hunters
and came from Fayette county.
He recognized Montana Pete from
the peculiar formation of his foot.
The people in West Virginia were
afraid of them, as each man had
two revolvers. They carried several
squirrel rifles. but no Winchester
rifles were seen. The place where
they were seen was near the mouth
of Sandy Creek, in Preston county,
West Virginia.

Railroads versus Wagon Roads.

1t is asserted by some that the
multiplication of our railroads takes
away to great extent the necessity
for an improvement in the common
roads OF the country. The very
opposite of this is true. Our rail-
roads reach only the centers Of
population and traffic. Those who
can reach these great avenues of
travel only by drive or walk Of
five to ten miles for business, for
pleasure or for trade should be
able to do so in comfort, with eel
Gritty, with economy and with some
degree OF certainty. Our railroads
have multiplied those who travel
for pleasure and for business and
the traffic transported from the
country to the great centers Of
trade a hundredfold within the
last fifty years.
1t is a matter of intense practical
moment to tine farmer to know that
he can reach the railroad station
ten miles distant in one hour rather
than in three hours, and that he
can transport two tons of his farm
products with two horses more
cheaply and In every way satisfac-
torily than one ton with four horses,
and yet this striking contrast
measures the difference between
what can be done over a good road
in all seasons of the year and what
1t is possible to do over our ordinary
roads in certain seasons when the
conditions are unfavorable.-J. A.
Beaver.

The Burns PerseN Glove Contest at Tur-
ner Hail To.Morrow Night.
The reserved seat tickets for the glove
contest between Jim Burns. of Philadel-
phia. and Charley Persell, of San Francisco.
tomorrow night, are going off very rap
idly, showing that the efforts of the Helena
athletic club to arouse an interest in sports
here is having a good effect. Both men are
training hard and will enter the
ring weighing within three pounds
Of each other. Burns will weigh
between 14S and 149 pounds, and Persell
about 145. Burma condition improves
every day under the strict training he is
getting from Frank freeman. Persell is also
in excellent shape, and what he lacks in
weight will be made up by q slight advan-
tage in height. The contest will be for q
purse Of 5000 put up by the club. and a side
bet Of $500 each. OF the pu, SO $500 goes to
the WHINE, and $100 to the loser. Twenty
rounds is the agreement, unless the contest
is decided sooner, and il necessary to de-
eide there will be more than twenty. Those
who attended the previous contest will
hardly recognize Turner hall, where the
club has it's quarters. The seats have been
built all around the arena, circus style, and
everybody who attends will nave an excel
lent opportunity to see the exhibition. The
main contest will be preceded by a wrestling
match between Charley Eyton and George
Glitz, and a four-iound go between Phil
Casey and Tommy Warren with the gloves.
