MI. DeatOn Will not 60 down. Mr.
Deaton is unquestionably a good
Democrat but he knows that he was
given dirt by the Sullivan-Johns com.
bination which was not Democratic
in any sense of the word.

tile Co.'s store with 5000 pounds OF
merchandise for the Gilt Edge Mining
Co., purchased by Mr.. Ammon during
his visit here Tuesday. Thus does
Big Timber supply the northern trade
which is largely on the increase at
this point.-Pioneer.
If there were nothing else to defeat
Mr.. Sullivan the tact that he has Sc,
cured by force or otherwise the SUP
port of T. j. Johns would be sufficient
1t is not long since Mr.. Sullivan could
characterize this fellow in language
which if not elegant was strictly forci-
BILE. But it is a trite saying that
politics makes strange bediellows."
The fall meeting of presbytery for
this district will be held in Lewistown,
it's session commencing Thursday.
October 4th. and extending over the
following Sunday. The district EN-
braces some twelve churches whose
pastors will sojourn among us several
days and, We trust, be Hospitality enter
tanned by our citizens. Several OF the
ministers and elders will be accom-
panied by their wives.

Ter were moved to write their letters
on silver after reading the hog wash
adopted at the Sullivan-Johns con
vention. Their letters were ready for
publication before the political job
bers completed their labors in onven
ton. Both are stanch silver men and
have the ability to defend the white
metal.
Beef shipments from northern Mon
tana will be exceptionally heavy the
next ten days, Over 500 cars are en-
gagged at the various shipping points,
distributed about as follows: Big
Sandy, 20; Malta, 80; Chinook, 100;
Culbertson, As; Benton, 10; Cut Bank,
12; Galata, 80; Nassau, 20. Most of
these will go forward by the 9th of
the month and it is probable that the
list will be increased by further addi-
tions before that date.-River Press.
Anaconda's strength in Lewistown
car be fairly judged from the patron
age accorded the .'Anaconda-for-the-
Capital saloon recently started in
our midst. Day after day and
throughout the evenings the bar
keeper readsa paper or plays solitaire
patron at the bar is almost I'M
known. Next door is T. r. Carson's
place. thronged fror, moi ming until
morning with Helena supporters.
Even the habitual drunkard does not
want Anaconda whiskey.
The Geyser says of it's cinch conven-
ton: at is conceded by every fair
minded man who was present that the
gathering was one OF the most con-
sentative, deliverative bodies ever
convened in Fergus county, "Deliv-
erative" is good and true. Every
thing was delivered over to Sullivan,
hands down. Otherwise the above is
false. If you don't believe it ask John
Barnes, W. T. Swope. j. s.. Phillips,
Louis Landt, Rein Anderson and a
score OF others who are fit to be called
"The Republican nominee for asses
sor, j. NJ. Croft, was put on the ticket
at the especial dictation of Messrs.
Hobson, Waite and Bower" says the
Geyser. This we know to be a bald
lie. Mr.. Croft stood on his merits be
fore h econventiOn without the special
aid of anyone. He is a cisizsn of high
standing and a gentleman capable of
filling any Office in the county. He
would make as good an assessor as
Fergus county ever had and comes
from a section deserving recognition.
He should get more than his full party
vote.
1t looks now as though H. A. Moul-
ton, candidate for superintendent OF
schools on the Republican ticket had
a walk over for the Office. He is a
gentleman in every way qualified for
the position. He came to the state
with a first grade certificate and has
given excellent satisfaction wherever
he has taught. One Democrat in the
FIT. Maginnis district says, che is a
gentleman and scholar and will make
n good superintendent and Intend to
vote for him." The people will have
a chance to meet Mr.. Moulton before
the campaign closes.
In conversation with Big Timber
Wednesday morning we learned fur
ther particulars of the numbering of
Walter Cleveland whose body was
found near the Big Timber and Mar
tinsdale road Saturday last. Cieve-
land had been working for Ed Massing
OF Halbert for some time and with one
Charles Wilson had started for the
reservation. Wilson appeared at Big
Timber about q week ago and forged
u check upon the Big Timber bank for
5000 and securing the money rode to
the reservation. Wilson is supposed
to have been the murderer and a posse
are now on his trail. When Cleveland
left Halbert he had but 81 in money
