Politics Goes and the Hobo Comes
Ranchers at Work

- MONETA, Nov. 15.-The election Is
over and the tramp of the hobo is heard

Among the ranchers winter work is in

and long after dark and long before day
the gleam of the lantern may be seen
from the stables, as the busy farmers
tend to their working stock.

place, just west of town, and intends

SAN BERNARDINO.
A Dreary Ratification Meeting-A Fire.
Notes of the Day.

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 15-The
night was a failure in every particular,
as not an outside place took part, ex-
cept a few people from Cotton. Some
hundred or so boys with cowbells, tin
cans and vigorous lungs made the even
ing hideous. The city turned out and
the sidewalks were crowded with peo-
pie awaiting the big parade, but they
were doomed to disappointment, as the
only exhibit was the Peakin guards with
shotguns and about 200 boys with
torches, followed by two or three wag
Ons loaded with tin cans, etc. A quanti-
ty of fireworks were exploded, which
was the only redeeming feature of the
turnout. Not even the renegade Dem
ocrats had courage to show their col
ors so prominently. At the pavilion
nothing but disorder reigned, and it was
with difficulty that the speakers could
be heard. During the evening on the
street the name of Bryan was much more
pronounced than that of Mckinley. In
all, the ratification was nothing more
than a frost.
