So depraved has this condition be-
come that a man has almost to
talk himself blind to get one~lfttle

depravity that large posters are

In the fourth place, the political
aspect of the country is ia a most
deplorable condition. That Denis
Hennessey, although on the wrong &
ticket, being a master Mysteriach,
and a prominent member of the
Knights of Rest should not receive
a majority of the votes of his own
precinct is as big disgrace as the
precinct "a scandal. That nobody
told lie during the campaign and
that everybody voted for every
candidate to whom they talk since
the election is sure sign of some :.
thing being rotten around some

political candidate cannot bave all

A dispatch to the World from
jacksonville, Fla, says: A cipher
cablegra1n from Havana tonight
to a Cuban leader here says that
Gen. Weyler has been forced to re-
turn TO Havana and that the city is
in great confusion. Weyler gives
no excuse, it is said, except that it
is too hot and unhealthy to do any
fighting. It is openly asserted in
Havana that Weyler became fright
ened because Maceo had~s,,t price
upon his head or his capture.
Weyler's scouts informed him that
Maceo might make an attempt on
Havana, and the Spanish general
retreated in hot haste to the safety
of his palace. It's also stated in
the cab egram that Weyler's recall
is assured now. as the Spanish gov
eHnment is incensed against him
for his dilatory tactics. The
Cuoans here are jubiiant, for they
think this will have, favorable
impression cn congress.

Twenty-Five Years Ago.

The temperature yesterday caus
ed Robt. Vaughn to become remin
iscent and referring to the date, h
said.
''On the night of Nov. 81, 1871
two companies of soldiers from For
Shag, under the command of Lieu
Nelson, were on their way home
from tie Milk river country, afte,
having been away most of the
summer, assisting the United
States Marshal to arrest whisky
traders from across the line ano
others who were violating the law
by selling whisky to Indians.
"About Nov. IS they arrived in
Font Benton. The weather was
fine for that time of the year and
the boys had good time while in
Fort Benton. Thinking that they
did not need their old overcoat S
and blankets, expecting to draw
new ones when they reached their
post, they traded off the old gar>
ments.
On the goth they left Fort Ben
ton and camped that night at
Twenty -Eight-Mile springs. The
morning of the 21st was consider
ably colder. On the top of the
hill, which was then named, and
has since been called Frozen uill.
a blizzard caught them. Most of
the men were lightly clad and
before they gor to the Leavings
station % men were so badly froz-
en- that amputation was necessary
of their feet, and one lost BOTH
hands and feet. And IT was 10
wonder, for that night the ther>
mometer registered 40 degrees
below zero and it was the coolest
night of that winter.
'.Afterward it was better than
the average winter, but we had
about eight inches of snow and the
buffalo came in such bands that we
had to take what cattle were on

THE ROUNDER.a
with age

The rounder is badly abused
person al nearly all times, but he
has some advantages in weather
like this. Other people must keep
warm and if he does not get his
feet up to the warmest sto~ehe is
not good rouuder, and had better
so out herding sheep or lie dow :,
where the biggest drift will blow
over him, and there remain rlnti
the grass gets green.
Dupuyer is pretty good place
for him and he intends to stay here
for some time unless the other
II embers of his fraternity get jeal-
Gus of his developed rustling
qualities and establish a boycott Oh
him. The town is not very big.
but some of the people need fixing
and the rounder has coucl 1ded to
join IN the good work, hoping for
his reward In the better world to
come.
In the first place the moral toae
of the community must be elevated.
Why, the biggest man in this Sec
lion was appointed jailor after the
last election, when there were
many deserving little men.wanting
the job. Now, bad men and Sun
day school teachers will flee to the
mountains and defy justice, know
ing that their chances for escaping
from jail are not good if they are
caught. Then again, the people
went with malace forethought
and started to build church, with
the result that the people of our
rival town, Choteau, rose up and
demanded that the preacher there
built them church and it was
built. Now they have large impos-
ing house of Sunday recreation,
while we have to stand around in
the hotels and saloons, and talk
politics for the reconversion of the
popuiists. Alas for this degeuer-
ate people, it makes the rounder's
nose bleed to think of their sad
condition.
In the second place, the social
condition of the country needs re-
generating. Now, if a stranger
comes to town and the FOUNDERS
receive him with open arms and
blow him in for all his money and
steal his good clothes, he is taboo
ed by society in the town, not for
any fault of his own, but just upon
general principles. Why, because
man has been around town culti-
vating his social propensities until
he gets such o load of them that he
eau scarcely carry them, and then
adjourns to a ball or other: function
someone is liable to turn up his
nose at HIM aud never give him
credit for his good intentions.
This sort of thing might do all
right in the South Sea Islands, but
in Dupuyer, Nit!
In the third place, the financial
condition of the community needs
improvement. The poor. who are
supposed to be always with US,
never get a cent but what they
rustic for, Or stand some one off

The Mail and Express of New
York says. There is going to be
an extra session of Congress called
within 20 days after the inaugura.
tion of President-elect Mckinley.
This information comes from Cau-
ton today in the most positive and
direct way, and its reliability can
not be questioned. It is the
opinion of the president elect that
no revenue legislation can be ac-
compished this winter, and though
newspaper dispatches disagree re-
garding his attitude toward the
present agitation for the Dingley
bill, there is substantial authority
for the statement that Mai. Nc
Kinley is averse to raising expecta-
tions as to its enactment which 10
his judgement, cannot be realized.
He fears that the busiaass com
munity would become de.noralized
should the bill be passed in the
house again, only to be laid aside
by the senate, and he does not
share Senator Sherman's opinion
that the measure can pass the
senate before tile reorganization OF
that body on March 4.
