The Chicago Markets.

We are in receipt of the follow
ing circular from McCausland,
Hoag & Turner, Chicago. under
date of Aug. 27:
The western ranges have sup
piled about 13, 500 of the 50, 900
cattle here this week. One year
ago this week we had about 90, 600
of the northwestern grassers
There is Dig demand for these
cattle as there is for about every
thing else in the cattle line but
prices must, to a certain extent,
sympathize with the native beef
cattle trade which has been forced
down Is to zoe since the strong
market of Monday. Westerns
have sold at the highest prices of
the season, top of the week being
81 80, and bulk of steers selling
between 81 aud 81. 40 or around
75c higher than the average of a
year ago this week but market had
to weaken under the heavy press
sure of general supply and, yes
terday was quoted 10 to 15c 10 wer
than high time on Monday and
Tuesday. A good many of the
rangers are being taken for feeders
at 49, 95 to $425. Sales of range
cattle for the season have been
extremely good SO far and if the
market can be held at close to
present basis, ranchmen will have
ample reason to feel gratitied.
These sharp breaks, however,
should be expected whenever
general receipts run to the figures
of the week.
Supplies OF sheep continue
heavy and are made up largely OF
the western rangers. There is an
, enormous demand for feeders,
nearly one>third of receips going
to this trade at prices that are
atout as good as the fat muttons
command, the bulk of good
western feeders going at $3.50 tc
So 60 while muttons range from
3. SO to 3 20. Western lambs fol-
. feeders go at to 4 40 and strictly
f good lambs at AGO to 400. Tht
2 outlook seems to be for present
, prices to be fairly sustained al
l general belief here is that a bea
Y movement would promptly checl
i the run of rangers.

supported newspaper, the
A cant tina was issued for the first
time three years ago. Its enemies
predicted a speedy failure, and It's
friends were fearful of it's financial
prosperity. Slowly but surely it
gained in popularity until it row
has the largest circulation of any
weekly newspaper IN Northern
Mont tana. The business men of
Dupuyer and surrounding villages
have ever found it.a paying invest
ment to use it asian advertising
medium and to them, as we'll as to
the subscribers, is due in a great
measure the success of the
paper. Owing to it the little city
of Dupuyer and Teten county has
become widely known as business
center and an advantageous section
for settlers to engage in ranching
or stock raising. Partly through
its agency Dupuyer has grown to
be a fair sized town, where more
business is transacted than in any
other place in Teton county.
While We graduate the people
upon their centinuous prosperity
despite the prevailing depression
we hope that it may long continue
so until the name Of Teton county
may become synonon Gus with

Labor Day Proclamation.

Governor Smith has is sued the
following proclamation:
The laws of the United States
aud of the state of Montana, very
properly, recognizing labor as the
foundation of all wealth and COM
mercial prosperity, have designat-
ed the first Monday in September
in each year as legal holiday, to
be known as Labor Day.
When we reflect that labor is the
creator of wealth, that upon it de-
pends all happiness and all excel
lence, that labor builds states and
carries on the commerce and in.
dustries of the world, the wisdom
of this enactment is apparent.
When the above laws are applied
to the people of our common wealth
they seem to be especially fitting
and wise.
Our population is composed al
most entirely Of laborers in com
mon fields of industry. We have
but few drones or idle hands to
consume the substance of the
many. and hence the merchant,
the clergyman, the lawyer, the
physician, the mechanic, the bank
err, the miner, the teach er. the
clerk as we'll as all others who
perform mental and manual labor,
may as we'll be classed as laborers
in the broader sense of the term.
And it is well to recognize the
Importance and dignity of labor by
setting apart each year one day
that will tend to establish a higher
appreciation of this great factor il
the uptuilding of our state, t,
bring labor of all kinds into closer
relationship with itself and with
other interests. and to incu)cate ;

The republican party of the
Eleventh judicial District Of the
State of Montana is to be con-
graduated. The Acantha learns
from a reliable source that at a
recent political meeting held in the
city of kalispetl, Que Chas. w.
Pomeroy remarked that he ''had
never been at heart republican,
and in the future expected to
affiliate with the p rty of his
choice-the democratic. Our
readers are well-acquainted with
this man Pomeroy. He was ap
pointed judge of this district by
Governor Richards in 1895, aud
last year, failing to get the repub-
lican nomination for that position,
ran as an independent candidate,
and thus assis sted in defeating the
regular republican nominee. His
campaign was the most disgraceful
ever conducted in this section.
Money was spent in a lavish
manner to corrupt the voter. Vile
and untruthful stories, manufac
tured by Pomeroy and his gang Of
heelers, were industriously circu-
lated in every nook and crook oI
the district. Ano nong other thing gs
it was claimed that the FlatheaC
delegation to the district conven
tion rightfulIy belonged to Pom
eroy; that Pomeroy was life long
republican; that he had faithfully
performed his duty and was at
upright and honorable Judge; tina
the Flathead delegation was stoler
away from him by the unscrupulou!
politicians of that county. Nov
comes a fitting finale. and the ad
mission is made that Pomeroy ha
"never been a republican. A
stated in the first sentence, TIL
republicans of this district are t
be congratulated in losing thi
political leper.
The democrats will please accep
our sincere sympathy.

The MODERN Nevspaper.

The expenditure of newspaper
that is operated on a large scale was
as follows last year: Editorial and
literary matter, 1920, 0C0; local news,
$3.50, 900; illustrations, $3.50, 900; COR

department, s41O, 500; paper, s617,-
900; business Office, ink, rent, light,
etc., s219, 900. This paper has very
expensive staff of editorial writer's,
but the 1920, 900 is largely for special
articles of IA very miscellaneous
character. Most papers of the same
class-the cheap great daily"-put
about 2 per cent of their total ex-
penditure on this item.-J. Lincoln

THE END.
Brandy Farmers.

The brandy farmers of Charente are
distinct class. Every one of them, even
if he own no more than patch of six
or seven acres, has his own still and
manufactures his own spirit. Most Of
the stills which saw were mere shan
ties of the most primitive type, like
highland bothies or the rude huts in
which illicit "potheen" used to be, and
l dare say even now is manufactured
in some wild parts of Ireland. When
the farmer commences making his
brandy, he continues working his stills
day and night until he has converted
all his wine into spirit. The brandy at
this stage is perfectly colorless and con-
tains the whole of the essential oil,
which has subsequently to be removed
by a drastic process of filtration. This,
however, the farmer leaves to the mer-
chant to whom he brings his brandy for
sale.
Many of these brandy farmers are
very Wealthy. l was told of one worth
100000, another 100000, third
100000 and u considerable number
with ESQ, 900 and ego, 900 apiece, sums
which figure out magnificently in francs,
but to look at them you would never
guess that they possess as many pence
as they have pounds, for. however rich
they may be, they still retain the dress
and style of peasants They make no
attempt to ape the manners and fash
ions of those above them. Each genera
ton is content to live as its predecessor
did-a frugal, hardworking life, with
its occasional holidays and junketings,
and the exercise of that thrift which is
French peasants highest pleasure.

The Hair Under tn. Microscope.

Placed under powerful micro
scope, the hair shows a surface COW
cred with strong, coarse, jagged
teeth and more strongly resembles
coarse, rough rasp. Dealers in
human hair can tell in moment
whether the locks offered them have
been cut off or combed out. They
do this by rubbing the hairs through
their fingers. If the hair has been
cut from the head and has not been
misplaced, it remains in it's original
position. If it has been pulled or
combed out and put together regard
less of the direction in which it
grew, one portion of it will slip to
the right and the other to the left.
1t does this because the jagged edges
engage upon each other and pull in
opposite directions. The philosophy
of this is demonstrated by drawing
hair first one way, then the other,
through the fingers. which slip east
ly toward the point, while consider

gers are drawn from the point to.

The 1dy1 of the Springs,

Some years ago company made an
overland trip through the west. The
guide was one Rattlesnake Pete. AS
the party journeyed they became very
thirsty, for in certain parts Of Arizona
water is scarce. All day long they jour
neyed, and animals and men were nigh
perishing, when, 10, it was as the guide
had foretold-they reached q cooling
spring where the water gushed forth
from under great rock-but there was
a man there with rifle in his hands
and two pistols in his belt. and this
man said he owned the spring. His
price for water was 81 bucket So our
friends purchased water and drank and
gave to the animals. Rattlesnake Pete
remarked, as he Went away, to the gen.
tleman who owned the water, "Any
man who jumps one Of God Almighty s
springs would sell water to his father
in help
Some months after Rattlesnake Pete
went back that way with his friend
Alkali Smith, and the man at the
springs died, and Pete and his friend
buried him in the valley down below
the spring, and over the grave they
heaped pile of stones, and then they
set stake in the center Of the stones,
and on the stake are these words, "The
gent under these here stones thought
the spring was his'n, but he We're mis-
taken. '-Philistine.

The Globe rheater. 1904.

A flag was hoisted in front Of the
building to indicate to the public that
here was the playhouse. Inside the
stage was illuminated with branch
torchlights, as in churches, and band
of musicians armed with trulnpets, cor
nets. hautboys and other instruments
played three flourishes to announce the
commencement Of the performance. Be-
tween the acts, too, they would play
lively airs to while away the time The
curtain was drawn, not upward, as now,
but sideways, and in lieu Of scenery
cards were hung up, whereon was writ
in big, bold hand, we may be sure,
the place or scene the spectator was to
conjure up in his mind-as, "This is a
garden" palace" wood" or
"This is Rome" and SO forth, as occa-
sion might require. Judging from the
light raillery Of Sir Philip Sidney, it is
very doubtful whether there was a
change Of scenes at the period when
dramatic pieces were just coming into
vogue and supplanting the medieval
mystery and morality plays.
Before the play began the audience
amused themselves with reading, play
ing at cards, indulging in lusty banter,
smoking and drinking ale-"ale at huff
cap, or dragons milk, /" which Harri-
son says people CONSUMED SO heartily
that never did Romulus and Remus

sharp devotion as these men ale at huff

Barker never left the office, nor did
