died soon after his arrival home. We
are now III receipt of a letter from Mr..
Stoddard col taining the sad ~intelli-
gence OF the death of his wife by APP
pendicetis, which occurred at Hart
lord, Connecticut, on May 18th, after
an Illness of four and one-half days.
The remains were inferred by the side
Of his mother at Newineton. Mr..
Stoddard's affiictions by death have
been very great in the past few months
having lost his infant daughter, wife
and mother. The sympathy of this
community goes out to him in his Sc
we're bereavement.
John Bebb, Morris Sullivan, VIM.
Jenkins, Robt. Shaw and James
Weaver, who composed one OF the
parties that left for Alexander City, |
returned Sunday. They report the
whole affair one of the greatest fakes
on record and say that when they |
reached the camp but three men still
remained. The Musselshell was so
high where they crossed near the SO
ranch that they were compelled to
raft it both going and coming. They
returned sooner than they otherwise
would for the reason that no food was
o~btainable except wild game. Nothing
has been heard OF Messrs. Wunderlin, |
Fly, Norlin and Fouts who started
three days previously and it is Thought
quite possible that they are waiting
for the water to subside so they can
proceed. The trip proved a pleasant
one as they really expected that the
gold discoveries were a fraud. The
story is told that the only money
they picked up on the trip was when
they struck a ''sucker" and it took
the five ''prospectors" four hours to
win his wad-S1.
A newspaper man has no business
to seek Office. 1t is his business to get
IN office for the other fellow; to sound
the praise OF he candidate and keep
quiet his own feelings; to whoop 'er
UP lOT Ills man anu let Ills man lOlStl /
all about him when he Is elected or
curse him when he is defeated; to de-
fend his candidate against the unjust
attacks OF the opposition and see
that whatever favors his candidate
has to bestow goesto the other fellow.
1t Is his business to boom the city for
all Ut work, month after month and
then see 500 worth OF printing go out
OF the city because ten cents can be
saved in doing so. 1t is the business
OF the newspaper man to give every
enterprise a frequent ''send off," and
then catch sneol because he had failed
to record the act that some promi-
nent citizen had his delivery wagon
painted or had built a hen house; to
subscribe Literally to every public,
charitable and church entertainment,
advertise them for nothing, pay his
own way to everything and then be
called p~reiudiced and mean-spirited
because a column is not devoted to
that particular affair. This would be
II great town without the newspaper
man, this would.-Exchange.
