Wednesday and lost $50. He en-
deavored to borrow gun, but failed.
He then went to gun store, bought
pistol, loaded it and returned to
the saloon of King Il Hicks. He
called Hicks into back room and
asked if some kind of a division
could not be made. Hicks refused.
Howard put the gun to his forehead
and told him to dig. Hicks called
to the bartender to bring some mon
ey, and $50 was handed over. Hicks
thus getting away threw shell into
his Winchester and held up Howard,
who was searched by the bartender
and the money recovered. The sher-
if by this time had been called and
took Howard to jail.

About Our Silver Letter.

| OtAA SAAScI A<clleTs
The Neihart local free COINAGE
club has issued circular letter on
the subject of silver, says the es-
teemed Bystander, reviewing the
subject very thoroughly in small
space. Three thousand Of the let
ters are sent to personal friends of
the members throughout the east.
The letter was drawn up before
David B. Hill, the great Retromin-
gent mountebank performed his
back somersault on the silver quest
ION, and in consequence, couple Of
paragraphs of meaningless words
from one OF David's perorations, find
place in the document. But if the
Neihart gentlemen were mistaken in
regard to David, they are not in re-
gard to other points at issue, and in
answering the question, ''Why has
silver been demonetized?" they hit
the nail squarely on the head as fol-
lows:
Leading up to this question are a few
facts not generally understood Twen-
ty years ago the silver mines of the west
began to yield largely. 1t was clear
that if left alone the people would soon
shake Off the mighty burden of debt
then upon them. National banks can
not live unless nation was in debt.
What is more natural then than their
movement to destroy half the real mon
ey OF the country, to reduce values, to
give mightier purchasing power to in
terest when collected, and at the same
time to take from the debtor 80 per
cent OF his ability to pay. 1t was in
the interest of the national banks and
the money power that silver was demon
etized. And the masses of the Dopula-
ton are suffering its baneful conse-
qence."
In regard to the relation of wheat,
cotton and silver, the letter makes
another point as follows:
''We cite as good instance the course
of the wheat market. Government sta
tistics show the wheat yield for the
year to be below the average for
the past ten years. Also that the aver
age yield for the past decade has not
kept pace with the increase of the
worlds population. In addition to this
we know of new and enlarged uses that
are made of wheat. which would natur-
ally cause us to infer that the price of
the cereal would be firm at good fig
ure. But on the contrary this has de-
clined steadily in that time from S113
per bushcl to the unprecedented figure
of 50 cents. A review of the course of
the cotton market reveals the same eco
nomic paradox. Statistics show in the
case of these two commodities that there
has not been an overproducton, while
the demand in the specified time has
increased. Now, what has
caused this constant fall in price! Tn
it is the increased purchasing
power of money that has caused it,
The citizens of Neihart have the
right idea, and present their case in
an unanswerable manner-but the
other fellows have the votes in con
gress-and there you are!

An Agreeable DrlIl.

While an order from military head
headquarters demands obedience, there
may be more than one way of obeying
it, according to the statement of an
old-time member of a Michigan regi-
ment. Early in the year 1866 there
came an order from headquarters,
Central district of Texas, requiring
company drills twice each day in every
regiment in the command AS the
weather was hot and the regiment was
soon to be mustered out, the colonel
thought compliance with this order
useless, and so ordered two daily drills
of five minutes each. knowledge of
this evasion Of orders reached the gem
eral commanding, and forthwith there
came an order for drill Of two hours
each day, in compliance with which the
following order was read at evening
parade headquarters I'D Michigan
infantry volunteers In obedience to
orders from superior headquarters
there win be company drills from half
past eight to half-past ten o'clock a. m
each day The commander of the regi-
ment desires that the most shady spots
be selected for drills, and that the men
shall not be exposed to violent exercise
in the heat Of the sun. The drill took
place. A shady spot was carefully Sc
lected, and for two hours the orders TO
stack arms" and rest" were cheerful
ly followed. Youths Companion.

search for the rear.
Almost Immediately the blue jackets
closed in behind Jackson's corps. and

He WAS UNDER FlRE.
But He Thought the whizzIng Bullets
Were Hornets.


Miss Ada C. Sweet. daughter Of the
late Col. b. J. Sweet, Of Chicago, has
many interesting incidents which have
been told her by her father Maj.
Sweet had a splendid war record before
he took command of Camp Douglas.
One of Miss Sweets anecdotes is as
follows:
The young man-oh. my, I must
laugh-the young man was a friend of
ours. lie knew my father very well
and was in my fathers regiment He
had been in the service about two
weeks and just before me battle of
Perryville he and another young man
were ordered in advance of the column
10 take down a fence SO that the regi-
ment could pass. They were going
through a pasture land. and, as the
young man went ahead, every second
or two he heard peculiar kind of
whizz in the air and thinking he was
getting into a hornets colony. he kept
on looking around to see the nests.
The odd Kissing kept right on all about
him, but he could not see any hornets:
SO he said: 'Pshaw, I've got something
more important 10 do than to look for
hornets nests. and he went on and let
down the fence But he missed his
comrade, and couldn't imagine what
had become of him. So he did all the
work himself and came back to the
regiment and had quite forgotten
all about the hornets. Just then my
father rode up and said to him: III
see you after the engagement, Mr. -
and galloped off. My father looked
stern and spoke briefly and in a tone of
command. The young man saw this
and thought my father was angry. So
he reflected: Now, Col. Sweet is angry

but | can't imagine what it is

puzzled to receive an official letter.

ont how il was that luck should favor
him. My father was, wounded at the
battle, and when he was able to be
about again the young man asked him
for an explanation.
Why, cried Col Sweet, You were

this was the pivot on which the whole

held his men with fixed bayonets and
empty muskets until achievements

Gen. Rousseau, who was sent 10 his
assistance. said in his report: when

Prof. Charles, the new principal of the
Miles City schools is certainly most
kindly remembered 10y his obi neighbors
as will be seen by the following from the
Indianola. Nebraska. Courier. of last
week:

Miles City. Montana. at a salary Of 81 .sWl.

In the county. Coming here in lSs5, he
took charge Of our institution of learn
ing when it was little mor than an or
binary %countr. school. lie il was who
formulated a curse of study and by
Herculean work made the public schools
here rank second to none in the state.
At the end Of two years the school
board raised his wages 81 per cent.
Locking back over Prof. Charles work
we can now see something of what he
accomplished while with us. His aim
was to get the pupils to working and
thinking for themselves. He put his
whole life into the work. His pupils

One reason for Prof. Charles success
in getting pupils to do and he something
lies in the fact that he was a poor boy
and by his own unaided effort secured
an education. Graduating from the
commercial course in Simpson college
Indianola. Iowa. he taught school a few
years. then toOk a classical course in
Emory and Henry college. Emory. Vir-
ginia. and two years later took charge OF
our schools. As the saying is. he knows
the way from the ground and that fact
is appreciated by his pupils. We trust
that Mr.. Charles will be successful in
his field of labor in Miles City and are
certain that such will be the case il he
has the cooperation Of her citizens. 4
