LAND OFFICE APPOINTMENTS.


1t is now definitely known who will
succeed Messrs. Burg and Cook as
register and receiver OF the Lewistown
land office, David Hilger and John p.
Barnes having been appointed to fill
the offices. The selection of Mr.. Hill.
ger created no surprise to those ac.
quainted with the strength of his en-
dorsement in the state, notwithstand-
ing he did not receive the endorsement
OF the "gang" comprising the county
Democratic committee.
Mr.. Hilger is an intelligent, fair,
minded man, and will make Il good
officer and we regret that as much
cannot be said for his associate. Mr.,
Barnes is looked upon as sort of an
Andrew Jackson Sparks, n man too
narrow in his views and too much
governed by his preludices to occupy
a semi-judicial position, or any other
for that matter. He owes his success
to force OF circumstances, so far as we
can learn, rather than from any
special fitness fort the place.
The many friends of w. II. Swope
will regret that he was not named for
receiver although we believe he WAS a
candidate for register. Mr.. Swope
had exceptionally strong endorsers
and he felt confident OF success He
would have made n popular officer
and owing to the paralysis to the
sheep industry occasioned by Cleve-
lands policy was In need OF a lift of
this kind. But as usual, the deserv-
ing get turned down.
1t will be interesting to note what
course MeSsrs. Hilger and Barnes will
pursue toward the Mud Geyser in the
matter OF patronage. The relations
between the former and the editor
have been badly strained for the past
year, while Mr.. Barnes has complained
about the conduct OF the paper. The
editor has exhausted the vocabulary
of foul epithets in expressing his re-
gard for Mr.. Hilger, while the latter
has not wasted much time in hunting
pet names for the former. No doubt
Mr.. Barnes objection to the paper will
subside now that he is released from
responsibility as a stakeholder, it be-
ing the almighty dollar rather than a
n OF decency that occasioned his
protest.
While there is an opportunity to
force a change OF editorial manage
ment it is doubtful whether Messrs.
Hllger and Barnes have sufficient
moral stamina and force to mark the
demand. The general opinion is that
they have not, and that with a due
OF fawning on the part
of the present editor, strength
ened by anticipations OF spoils, a
will be established and decency
and filth will mingle together in true
contentment.
1t will probably be six weeks before
the new officers take charge as they
are yet to be confirmed and their
bonds secured and accepted. The
bond OF the receiver is $4,000, that
Of the register, $4,000.

Teacher versus Lawyer.

The literary entertainment given at
the Presbyterian church Friday even
ing by the Sunset Club attracted a
large audience, the seats being entirely
occupied and some score of gentlemen
having to stand. The musical por-
ton, although pleasing, had not the
variety intended as both Mrs. War;
and +. f. Smith were too i'll to sing,
depriving the audience of a solo by
the former and a duet which was to
have been rendered by Messrs. Smith
and Cort. Misses Edwards, Lehman
and Blodgett kindly gave their ser
vices and the piano selections were
highly appreciated.
Miss Clara Corbin recited ''The
Irishman's Panorama" with her usual
excellence and responded to an encore
with "Money Musk" Mrs. Leard
played the accompaniment.
The debate was entered into heartily
and the issue proved a good one even
though the verdict was not entirely
well received. The subject was: Re-
solved, That teachers have proven a
greater benefit to mankind than law
yers. II. j. Lour opened forthe affirm
ative, reading several extracts from
magazine articles and presenting his
best arguments. +. T.. Smith followed
for the negative and spoke well, being
more eloquent than others as he
dwelt upon the deeds OF lawyers in the
past. David Hilger then spoke in sup
port OF Prof. Loar, making several
good points in q short talk. w. f.
Cort made the best speech OF the even
ing, sustaining the negative with
stronger argument presented in a
more convincing n Prof. LoaT
closed the debate with a few points in
rebuttal. The jury inclHded two
ladies and three gentlemen and a yer.
dict for the affirmative was rendered
by a vote of three to two. The gen
eral opinion was that the lawyers were
better supported than the teachers
and the jury had allowed their own
opinions to override the weight of ar.
gument. Thi, has since proven true,
as one judge stated, "Oh, my mind
was made up before went there"
However, entertainment was the
object of the evening and it vas Ger.
tainly afforded.

Those who never read the adj vertisements
in their newspaper miss more than they
presume. Jonathan k~enison, Of Bolan,
Worth Co., Iowa, who had been roubIed
with rheumatism in his back, arms and
shoulders read an item in his paper about
how n prominent German citizen OF Fort
Madison had been cured. He procured the
same medicine, and to use his own words:
1t cured me right up" He also says: "A
neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed
with rheumatism. Their boy was over to
my house and said they were so bad he had
to do the cooking. | told him of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me,
