The Lazy

If you have sympathy to spare, don't
waste too much of it on the unemployed
this summer. A big ablebodied tramp
asked a newspaper man not long ago for
something to buy food with. The news-
paper man happened to know Of q good
place lying loose waiting for a man will
ing to work. He asked the tramp in re-
turn, do you want a good job" The
tramp inquired, What is it," In the
country on a farm" replied the newspa-
per man. The tramp sneeringly said:
mot much. What do you take me forT'
The man he had asked for money had
taken him for another man out of EN-.
ployment and willingto work at the first
thing that offered a living, as he himself
would have been. But he was mistaken.
The big ablebodied man did not want
work at all.
From many parts of the country this
summer ONE the same report. Farm
labor cannot be had at any price. The
slouching, stumbling vagabonds who
constitute so large a proportion Of the
unemployed" will not take work in the
country. Many Of them will not take
work of any kind. They prefer to rob
cornfields and h~enroosts and appeal t.
the maudlin sympathies of the cent?.
mental. The farmers are the one who
furnish all the world with food. The
unemployed man who asks their food
without being willing to do the kind Of
work they do the year round ought to
starve. 1t is a crime against society not
to let them starve.

Another Man Hit with = Coupling-Pin vt
the Railroad Bridge.
About 10 o'clock Wednesday night
David Scholz, a stranger, was crossing
the railroad bridge when q man, con.
cealed behind one Of the trestles, sprang
out and gave him a terrible blow on the
head with a coupling-pin. The blow
knocked Scholz down and he fell insen.
sible on the cross ties. In a few
minutes he regained consciousness
while his ~assailant was in the act Of
searching his clothes. Scholz immedi-
ately grappled the man and was getting
the best Of 1t when his assailant picked
up another coupling pin, threw Il at
him, and then ran away. Scholz hur-
ried to the West side, gave the alarm,
and had his wound dressed by q physi-
clan.
Scholz had no money about his person
and 9 watch he had 10 his inside pocket
the thief had either overlooked, or had
not yet reached. That night the police
searched the different places around
town but did not succeed Ia discovering
the man Of which they had received
q description. Yesterday, however,
Scholz, in company with Sergeant Shea,
entered the Milwaukee beer hall and
pointed out q man whom he positively
identified az his assailant. The man
gave his name as George F. Wilson and
was locked up pending q preliminary ex-
animation. Further developments in
the case are expected,

W. w. Waters, Manufactures and Dealer
in Harness, Saddles, Etc.
Yesterday in the district court w. W.
Waters filed a statement showing that
he had settled all demands against the
firm Of Waters & Wales, manufacturers
and dealers in harness, saddles, etc, in
this city, and that the firm had been dis
solved, Mr.. Wales retiring. The court
thereupon made an order discharging
the receiver and turning the business
over to Mr.. Wales, who will continue to
carry on the business at the old stand,
johnson block, Third street.
This firm was, like thousands OF other
firms throughout the country, caught in
the financial tidal wave last year, but by
close attention to business and good
management has come out OF the "dis-
tress" with flying colors. 1t is Mr..
Waters intention to add largely to the
extensive stock Of harness, saddles, ETC.,
now in his store and by fair dealing with
everybody to greatly increase his trade.
There is nothing in the line Of his bust
ness that he cannot supply on demand,
and all in need Of such goods should go
and examine his immense stock. Moth
ing succeeds likr success and Mr.. Waters
is or the right road.

Deed-lIe Declares His In
nOcence.

The Butte and Anaconda papers
which arrived here last evening gave &C.
counts of the shooting OF Jerry Cornell
at Centerville, neal Butte, at 9 O'Clock
Thursday. AS he was passing Woods
saloon someone fired three or four shots
one Of which penetrated Connell's right
lung. 1t was a mystery which could moi
be solved as to who had fred the shots
but it was alleged by many Centerville
people that a young man called William
Coombs was the mar that had done the
shooting.
AS the east, bound train was pulling
out Of the depot yesterday afternoon
Marshal Pontet received a telegram re-
qLesting COMBS arrest and giving his
description. The marshal jumped into q
buggy and drove to the West side to in.
tercept the train. 1t is said the marshal
completely eclipsed the late races fol
fast time, and that he found Coombs on
the train en- route to st. Panl. He es.
corted him to the county jail and ie
holding him there pending further in
structions.
In an interview last evening Coombe
denied knowing anything about the at.
fair and asserted his innocence.

Official Newspaper Of the Ciyof 6rsat Falls
who Wrote II?

Hon. j. Proctor Knott of Kentucky
rendered himself famous by a speech de-
livered in congress % years ago. 1t was
given during the debate on extending
the time of a railway grant for ON
structing a road from the st. Croix river
to Duluth. Mr.. Knott was opposed to
the extension and argued the case in a
speech full of purposely exaggerated die
tion and Of broad humor and satire. 1t
made a great sensation and is on record
as u of the most humorous speeches
ever delivered in that not over lively
spot, the hall of representatives. 1t is
rather odd, though, that the phrase in
which Duluth was characterized as 1.-The
zenith city of the unsalted seas does not
occur in the printed copies of the speech.
After all, was it not in the speech and is
it q separate coinage of that versatile
genius, Colonel Pat DOMAIN?
OF the humorous illusions in Mr..
Knots address, perhaps the best is that
in which he represents the Piegan In
dams as blowing up wheat ground with
buffalo bulls, then fattening the buffalo
on the wheat and driving them to mar
ket to Duluth. Mr.. Knott had a map
nea him which pictured the future of
Duluth, itself as a center, with concentric
circles widening out from it and taking
in all the universe" as the speaker said.
From time to time he pointed to this
map during his address. Shouts and
laughter echoed through the hall and
galleries.
1t has been charged that Proctor Knott
did not write the speech himself, but
that it was prepared for him by Colonel
Pat DOMAIN. The Washington Post has
a paragraph to that effect. The Post
writer says:
Representative Goldzier's offhand speech
on the removal of the Indian warehouse from
New York to Chicago has frequently brought
up the subject of Proctor knott's famous Du-
luth GRAFTON in Congress.
speaking Of Proctor Knott's Duluth Speech
said an old habitue of the house Hobbies yes
terday, that was q carefully prepared effort
and the result OF study, while Goldzier's speech
WAS wholly extemporaneous. The strangest
part Of the Knott speech, however, was that it
WAS not prepared BY Proctor Knott, but by
Colonel Pat Donan, one Of the greatest wits
in the country and a Duluth promoter. 1t
was to memory by Knott and de-
livered In a mastery manner, that went far to
make the delivery a notable episode In con-
gress. You have certainly observed that
Knott never made another speech like that
afteryard."

Not a Free Country.

An incident occurred In the United
States senate lately which will furnish q
text for years to come to the fnioky sub.
jects of European Kingdoms. 1t YVES an
awfully hot day, and the United States
senate chamber was one Of the hottest
places in the country. A senator gently
slid his No. los of his feet. They felt
bad. The blood settled in them, and
they swelled, and his corns ached. To
get the blood away from his feet, per-
haps also to get it into his brains, where
it was evidently needed, the senator
lifted his stockinged feet. with the bun
ions in relief, upon the top Of his rose
wood desk, in plain sight Of all the folk.
Foreign diplomats and fashionable ladies
gazed wonderingly at the senatorial ex-
tremities. Worst of all, a member
heal the shoeless senator was speaking.
The elevated feet were not very far
away from the talking senator's face.
Sensation in the galleries.
But just as the senator whose bunions
ached began to be comfortable a page
came to him with a message. He took
it, read it, then softly, sadly and unbe-
knownstlike slid his pedals down from
where they were on exhibition. He
pushed them into his shoes crestfallen.
Call this a free country when a senator
cannot sit with his shoes of and his feet
on top of his desk! II he had been with
out hose, now, like Sockless Jerry! But
he was not. He had socks on, and even
then he was not permitted to be half
way comfortable. Some people are just
too fussy for anything.
