SeYen In.

A Toronto woman after burying
her seventh husband, erected a
monument to the whole lot. Itcon
sisted of a marble hand with the in
deX finger pointing to the sky, and
on the base were the words "Seven
up"
If the women was sure all the
seven went up, it seems they should
have had more honored mention.
We should judge she was familiar
with the old game.

State Convention.

We hope there will be no obiec-
tion from any quarter to the plan
to hold a Democratic State conven-
ton in this bity this summer. The
necessity for such an assembly was
never more apparent and it may
make its work of a character bcne-
fetal to the party. There is not at
present the highest degree of party
harmony existing among the Dem
ocrats of the State and distinct
enunciations of principles, indicat-
ing the position of the party on
several questions, chiefly that OF
coinage, would have the effect OF
promoting unity to a greater degree
than we perhaps even imagine

Attention isat last being attracted
to this county as an oil producer.
Several parties have been in the
county, looking at the formations,
etc, of the lands 1t would not
surprise US if well or two was put
down as testers, in different parts
of the county, during the summer.
The fact is the supply of oil is not
equal to the demand by some
25,0OO barrels per day, and it is
necessary that new territory for oil
operations be discovered. We have
always contendod that Mason coun-
ty would be an oil producing county
equal to the best yet iound-and
we will not change that opinion un-
til we are convinced after fair
trial of test wells. If we want to
fnd out how good an oil producing
territory this county is, we must 20
down after it. Spend a little money
and test this territory.

Farmers must be good picking
for the sharper. We hardly pick
up a paper, but we find some farmer
has been swindIed by these fellows.
If farmers would subscribe for and
read their county papers, they
would not be caught so often. There
is al ways a desire on the payt of
some men to get something for moth
ing-and it can't be done. Don't
bet on another mans trick, or bank
on his pleasant smiles and glib

The Usual Question.

On every side we are greeted with
the question, "How's Buslness?" If
we say, Every one is kicking, the
questioner seems satisfied; but if the
reply is, Business is picking up
nicely" it is evident our statement
awakeDs new thought in the mind
of the questioner. If his business
is good, he Immediately begins to
think of a manner in which he can
increase it; if poor, our reply
awakens special interest in the
thought of how to improve his par
ticular business. 1t does much good
to state the facts exactly as they ex-
list, that business is improving. 1t
may be dull one day, but the next
and the next show improvement.
Why talk about that one bad day?
1t hurts, no one knows how it hurts
trade. 1t is every ones duty to
stimulate the business man to get
trade and not to discourage. Busi-
ness may not be as good as twenty
years years ago, but it's greatly i'm
proved over one aud two years past.
Talk it up and not down.

TO BURN AGENCY BUILDINGS.
Dire Threat of Sioux Mt the Rosebud
Agency.

Chamberlain, s. D., Sept. 10. - The
Sioux at Rosebud agency, under the
leadership of Hollow Horn Bear, a
powerful and influential chief. have
warned Indian Agent Weight and en-
ployes to .vacate the agency within
twenty-one days, and threaten to burn
the agency buildings.
A determination o. the part of the
Indian agency to reduce the rates paid
Indians for hauling freight from Val
entine, Neb., to the agency is the cause
Of the trouble. 1t was proposed to re-
duce the price from so to % cents per
hundred. Although a trivial matter
in the eyes of white people, the In
dams took mortal offense. and runners
sent to distant camps brought to the
agency about 5000 angry and excited
Indians. The Indian agent attempted
to appease the Indians wrath and
finally consented to pay So cents per
hundred.
The Indians are not satisfied and
further trouble is apprehended. Crow
Dog, the slayer years ago of Spotted
Tail, has been lodged in the agency
Jail for the part he took in the present
difficulty. Fort Niobrara is the near
est military post, but the troops are
absent on their regular summer field
exercises. Information from Valen-
tine states that settlers adjacent to the
reservation are becoming uneacy at
the attitude of the Indians.
