We saw man coming up from Slate
creek Just the other day with as fine a
string Of fish as we have seen in many
a day. The man informed US that he
caught them with the common hook
and line fishing tackle and caught them
without any trouble. The majority
of the fish were Of the catfish class
and some OF them would weigh two
or three pounds each. II the fish
commissioner will just make few
more mistakes and send US few more
supplies Of fish to dump into Slate
creek, we can begin to talk Of putting

travelling man said Friday that the
number of statesmen being sent out
at present by wholesale houses was
almost double the number on the road
a few months ago. This fact in a
great measure accounts for the in
creased passenger traffic. The rail-
roads are faring well In this part of
the country this year. 1t is also a
fact that the roads through here have
enjoyed an unusually heavy live stock
traffic this year.

perpetrates the following:

And hear the gurgle Of it as 1t trickles down

for beer.

The tangled affairs Of the First
National bank are being Strengthened
out rapidly under the management of
Receiver j. Sam Brown. The fact is
due very largely to the skill Of Mr.
Brown in such matters. He has been
in the employ of the treasury depart
ment constantly for the past eighteen
years as a receiver Of insOlvent ma
tiOnal banks and has always had a
number of trusts of this character on
his hands; at present he has six Of
them. And all of these appointments
have come to him unsolicited. More

By mistake, five hundred more rain
bow trout were sent here Wednesday
by the fish commissioner. One order
had been given and filled, but no note
bad been made of it and so the fish
commissioner forwarded another sup
ply for the same order. County At
torney b. L. Woods and Sam Davis
spent about half the night that night
in putting the fish in Slate Creek.
This now makes about 1900 fish
which have been put in the creek by
the fish commissioner. The different
species include rainbow trout, crap
pie, black bass and spotted catfish
By next summer, the fishing in Slate
Creek should be excellent.

Ehen The railroad corporations will either
own the people or the people must own the

upon the work OF owning and managing all
railroads, We should favor an amendment 10

RACED In the government service shall be
placed under acivil service regulation OF the

We demand free and unlimited coinage OF

We demand that the amount OF circulating
medium be speedily increased TO not les:

that ali state and national revenues shall b

CONTROL OF TRANSPORTATION.
Transportation being a means Of exchang,
and a public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads In tn
Interest OF the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post

AEoLAIMING THE LAND.
The land, including all the natural source

should not be monopolized for speculatiy

be prohibited. All land now held by rail-
roads and other corporations In excess @

We have no coufi !cnce in remedies

giving iron in some form. Th: old
method was to pat rusty nails in the
drinking water. English, poultry1nrn
use what is known a ''Douglas Mix
turc." This can be made by putting
eight ounces os sulphatc of iron (also
called coppcr;ls or green vitrioD into u
jug (ncver use metallic vesseD with
two gallons of water, adding one ounce
Of sulphuric acid toll Of vitrion. Tho
ingredients can be obtained of any
druggist. This medicine is to be put
in the drinking water in the proper
ton of Il teaspoonful TO Il pint, and is
found to be 4 II seful tonic. AS soon a
the disease breaks out give this to the
sick fowls, and also t. the we'll ones to
help them to resist the disease.

rated solution Of alum. anil vhe never 4
