Obituary.

George Wareham died May 2sth at
3 p. m. at his home on Wolf creek,
after a painful illness extending over
nearly three years, aged 73.
He was born Jan. z, 1921, in Hunt
ington county, Pa, where he lived
thirty-three years; was married, his
wife died leaving five children, three of
whom survive. In 1854 he moved to
Iowa and in April, 1855, was married
to Jane Robbins, and to them were
born ten children, nine OF whom are
living. The family came to Montana
i'm 1875 and to Fort Benton in 1878
and soon located on the Shonkin. He
was one of the first subscribers to the
River Press. In 1855 he settled in
Fergus county. His son, Henry, is
well known in Lewistown, as he was
elected county commissioner last fall.
George Wareham was a pioneer in
the states OF Iowa and Montana,
coming to both states in advance OF
the railroads. His oldest son was
killed in Montana i'm July, 1878, by
the Indians. At Is years OF age he
became n Christian and has ever man.
Tested the Christian spirit in all his
relations. so kind, peaceable and ex-
emplary has his life been that those
who knew him longest say that he
must have been without an enemy.
His surviving widow, children and
grand children rise up to call him
blessed" Everything that medical
skill ard unremitting care could do
was done to alleviate his sufferings.
His wife and children have been ever
ready at his bedside day and night to
minister to him.
Rev. U. F. Hawk of Lewistown
preached the sermon from Rev. IA,
ID. BLESSED are the dead which die
in the Lord from henceforth; yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may rest
from their Iabors; and their works do
follow them" Kind words we're also
spoken by Rev. of Great Falls.
The surviving VIE, chiluren ana rel
atives spared nothing to manifest
their appreciation and love for their
father and friend. Neighbors and
friends for miles laid aside business
and came to show their love and SYM
patty for deceased and family. The
largest number OF persons ever gath
cred on Wolf creek were present to
witness the last solemn rites of their
friend and brother. His remains we're
inferred in the family cemetery. A
thoroughly good man, having an in
telligent faith and a well grounded
hope in the Redeemer of men, has
passed from these earthly His
end was peace.

Pungent Paragraphs.

Topeka Capital: Workingmen all
over the country are realizing the
truth OF President Harrison's remark
that a cheap coat means cheapman.
Kansas City Journals: The country
is heartily tired OF a party which st top
the wheels OF industry and starts the
wheels of Coxeyism.
Louisville Courier-Journal: As the
Courier-.Ionrnal has often said, the
passage OF a tariff bill OF some kind
of any kinds more important to
the business interests of the country
just now than are the t%rifiing differ
ences in rates over which the senate is
now wrangling. There is not enough
of tariff reform left in the bill TO make
it worth fighting for, and it is OF such
close kin to the Mckinley measure
that we don't see why the Republicans
want to fight against it.

as work progressed and are today val
liable gold properties. But the gentle
man in charge of the construction of
the plant, Mr.. Sherard. while he may
have been familiar with the cyanide
process, was not a conservative mana
ger and his extravaganza, together with
the financial panic. swamped the com
pany with a burden of debts, causing
distress to labor and creditors generally.
In mining particularly there is required
the best of skill and most conservative
action especially i'll opening new prop
critics. A district often suffers by the
collapse of mining ventures when the
fault lies entirely with the operators.
We believe such to be the case in this
county. We need men of ample
capital to pay as they GO, and go no
faster than the outlook will warrant.
1t is Il good plan to commence OIL a
small scale and work up, and this will
frequently apply as well to mining as
other industries.
We have great faith in the silver and
gold deposits OF this county and be-
lieve the time is not far distant when
both will be operated at great profit to
investors. All hail the day.

OUR MINING REVERsEs.

While the mining industry of Fergus
county is temporarily paralyzed, owing
Ia adverse legislation and bad manage
mrnt, our miners and citizens gener-
ally should not lose heart. Ii is u con-
dition that cannot last many years.
TIE splendid monthly output OF the
Spotted Horse mine in the yellow metal
Is sufficient evidence of the wealth and
stability Of our ore deposits. The Ju-
diIh range has been the victim of igno-
rance and stupid operations. The old
Collar company was the first example
of bad judgment. 4 mill costing S125,-
600 was built ON an undeveloped prop
erty. Ii was one Of the most complete
silver mills of its size in the state, and
at the time of its construction every
thing was high. Ii apparently lever
spent on the mine at first might have
saved them much money OF proved
the possession of II bonanza, say moth
ing of the dishonor to themselves and
wrong inflicted upon laboring men and
Others. We believe it was an instance
where n shrewd mining operator or
promoter worked inexperienced CAPT
talIsts for the purpose of securing a fat
position rs manager of construction
work, caring little about the condition
of the mine. No doubt there is a good
silver mine where the surface was bare
ly scratched. There were good indica-
tions, but the property was then and
still remains IA prospect"
Operations ut Gilt Edge were not
conducted in an economical and prac-
tical While the prospects
purchased or bonded made a good
showing, it would still have been much
better to have spent several thousand
dollars in development work before a
foot of lumber was purchased for a
mill. Fortunately the mines improved

LOCAL POLITICS.
Some Stir Among Those Anxious to Serve the
Dear People.

While people get tired of havinglocal
politics discussed the year round. o
that the time approaches Tor holding
conventions and the would be candi-
date is busy '~'seeing n man." it may
not be premature to name some of
those most prominently mentioned in
connection with the offices to be filled.
The hard times has had tendency to
increase the number OF candidates, and
bring forth a list OF good men to make
selections from. This is considered a
good Republican year and any one
that bears the Democratic brand is
rated below par, politically.
For sheriff there are three avowed
candidates in the field. subject to the
choice OF the Republican county con-
vention, viz: John ID. Waite, OF Utica f;
Hugh Green, of Fort Maginnis, and
VIM. Medigar, of Lewistown.
For county treasurer, George W.
Cook, Joseph Moorhead, Joseph H..
Ralston have aspirations.
For county clerk and recorder, w.
5. Perkins, j. W. Gray and Charles A.
Burg are prominently mentioned.
For assessor. John Sellers, John l..
Stuart and James Croft are good men
from which to make II choice, though
we cannot definitely state the candi-
daey OF the latter.
For commissioners there's not much
of a scramble for the Office. While a
number OF gentlemen have been sug-
gested as good material, nothing GER
tain can be stated in relation 20 their
candidacy.
For joint representative with Valley
county, w. A. Hedges has been promi.
nently mentioned, and it is under
stood Mr.. Hedges would accept the
honor.
For the other representative and
state senator, nothing certain can be
stated at this time.
!, For public administrator, Edward
Brassey will probably consent to run
again. ne nHS Hldut d most eilicieut
officer.
:, But little can be learned about the
probable candidates OF the Democra
cy. Mr.. Deaton will be in the field
again for sheriff, and though some o
i. the gang do not favor his candidacy
f he will undoubtedly get the nomina
ton; unless Mr.. Glkerson succeeds il
, his ''knifing" scheme.
II. =. Brooks and II. A. Sloan hav,
been mentioned in connection Will

to be candidates for county attorney
