William Rea, of Rsa Bros, Trevor,

A. B. Berry: The Sheep Bre der is

Indians are beginning to under
stand the power of united action, for
it is reported that on the reserva-
tions in Dakota they have protested
against the employment of white
cowboys by cattle outfits ranging on
the reservations. They have sue
ceeded, it Is said, in catching eye and
ear of the department and an order
has been issued directing the differ.
ent agents to pnt off the reservations
all such cowboys. The order has
been carried out on the Cheyenne
reservation in South Dakota and no
doubt the Indians have the coveted
places as COW hands with the outfits,
the only whites allowed to remain in
the employ of the cattlemen are
those who have married Indian
women.-Times, Belle Fourche.
N. W. Farmer: Wool prices for the
future. are to some extent, no doubt
in the hands of tariff fran ers at
Washington. 1t may be a question
whether some who claim to represent
sheep interests are not injudiciously
high in their demands. for the out.
look is not favorable to their success.
The manufacturers are in opposition.
The carpet makers insist upon fig
ures that will hardly affect the inflow
from abroad Of the grades of wool
they mostly use. The chances are
not overly great in favor of effecting
much, but it would be we'll for those
engaged in the sheep industry to give
personal and individual reminders to
Senators that their action in this
matter will be watched with the most
critical interest. There should be nc
politics in this thing.

mittee which conferred with Mr.. Hill

posed to erect it ON the south side u

The roof will be extended SO as to
cover all platforms. The western
half of the building will be the pas
senger depot. The ladies' waiting
room will be in the west end and
will extend the full depth of the
building. Thus lady can step from

1t Was q Cotton Bug.

Hearing the many stories told
about the number of venomous in.
sects and reptiles found in punches
of bananas, Peter w. Blake con.
cluded that by fixing up some fake
bug he could play a good joke on
some one. He had large stock Of
toys on hand among which were
several toy bugs, made of wire and
cotton. Selecting the most hideous
one of the lot :he fastened it to the
stem of a bunch of bananas Wednes-
day evening, and then called the at
tention of his clerks to it. They
Immediately became frightened,
and one of them hearing that DIR.
Chance would like to get a speci-
men of the tarantula family, in
formed him of the find in the bunch
of bananas. The disciple of Escu-
lapius, armed with a long pairIof
forceps, a bottle of chloroform,3 land
with S. p. Casey and Peter Freisin-
ger as assistants, set out to capture
the much priced bug. When Blake's
store was reached there was con-
siderable discussion az to 2who
should transfer the insect from his
perch to the large bottle prepared
for the occasion. DR.. Chance argued
that az he was a man of a large
family that it was the duty ofssome
of the younger ones to make the
transfer, but all declined to go near
the bunch of bananasl with it's
dangerous occupant. Finally Mr..
Blake agreed to capture it and after
using liberal supply of the chlo-
roform, and with the aid of the
forceps he landed Mr.. Tarantula in
the bottle. After the bottle was &C.
curely corked DR.. Chance consented
to take charge of it, and on his way
back to Wetzels drug store he in
vited everyone he met to come to
the store and see the deadly insect
then in captivity. They nearly all
accepted the invitation, and nearly
all had a smoke on Doc, for he dis
covered the trick as soon az he
looked at the bottle with the light
shining on it. Doc says he has
come to the conclusion SSthat he
doesn't want any tarantula. They
are too expensive.

THE. OLD BONUS CASE.
Argued Before the Supreme
Court Wednesday, Probably
the last Hearing.

Seven years ago the cit Gems q
Little Falls attempted to raise a sun
Of money for N. +. Clarke, providing
the Weyerhaeuser syndicate locate,
their mills here. The "h0nus" wen
to Clarke ia part payment for th'
Old mill property that he sold to th'
new company. A subscription list
was signed and there was a shurtag.
| III the needed amount. A guarantee
list was then signed by most of tht
original signers, over forty IN all
but Clarke refused t. accept 1t, and
had another form drawn up. which
was to he signed by the same parties
who had signed the unsatisfactory
guarantee. It was understood by
both Clarke md the signers that the
second guarantee was not to be de-
livered or In force until all Except
twO) Of the signers Of the first guar
antee had signed the second. Some
how, when about hall the signers of
the first paper had signed the second,
1t came into the possession of Clarke's q
rcpresentatives-hO nobody can
say. Those who had signed the
second paper supposed that the bal
ance who were to sign 1t had done
40, and payments were made on the
subscri ptiOn list. When the short
age came to I've made up Clarke de-
manded that the second guarantee
be carried out by the slgners Of It.
Each and every signer declared it had
not been completed, and that Clarke
must resort to the first guarantee
and hold the larger number liable.
They denied his right to possession
Of the second paper. Clarke's reD
resentatiyes who got the second
paper could not tell whom they gOti
from, and the general conclusion of
everybody interested Ia that it was
passed to Clarke with some deeds,
abstracts, ETC., and that neither the
giver or receiver WIS aware Of it's
transfer ut the time.
ID. Clarke began suit several years
ago, and the case has been up tO the
supreme court for the second time.
The first time the citizens had to
appeal, and they succeeded IN obtain
ing a. new trial. The second trial In
the district Ic0urt was won by the
Little Falls people, and Clarke (Or
Kells, his assignee) appealed.
The case was argued Wednesday
in the supreme court by G. A. Lind
bergh, Of Lindbergh, Blanchard &
Iindbergh. for the Little Falls citi-
zens, and by Geo. Stewart. Of st.
