Thrashing in the neighborhood.


Children's Day at Sample was attend
ed by nearly everybody in this neighbor-
hood.
Miss Jacy McKaughan is visiting Mrs.
Sash Avitt and attending church at Ray
mond.
Miss Zelma Lay is visiting friends and
relatives at Lodiburg and attending
church at Raymond.
kMr. Ben Lay, who fell from a wagon
loaded with wheat and broke two of his
ribs, about three weeks ago, is again con-
fined to his bed.
Rev. ]. @. Mitchell, a relative and
namesake OF Hon. j. @. Breckenridge,
filled pastor j. b Hunts place at Steph-
ensport the first Sunday in August and
Saturday proceeding.
The death angel visited this commu-
nifty August 8th. and snatched from our
midst one Of our best and most honored
citizens, James Grant, Sr. His remains
were inferred in the Stephensport ceme-
terry near the Baptist church, of which
he was a consistent and faithful member.
And we might say Of him:
Religion filed his soul with peace
Upon dying bed
Let faith look up, let sorrows cease
He lives with Christ DER head"
'7~And now the news comes to us that
another one of our Stephensport friends
is gone: Mrs. Lee Isaacs, of Louisville,
but formerly OF Stephensport, was
brought to that place last Sunday and
buried, we suppose, by the side of her
husband and child, who preceded her
by several years. To her friends we
would say that
There are love links so united,
Death himself cannot discover;
There are true hearts, bleeding, biighted,
That will beat to love forever.
There are brilliant hopes that persisted,
Beaming brighter than before;
There are those we've missed and cherished
Waiting on the other shore.p

Losing
Flesh

You naturally lose flesh in
the summer and running down
Is so easy. You get a little
weaker each day without hard
ly noticing 1t. There is loss Of
appetite, headache, weakness
Of the muscles, disturbed sleep,
weakness ofmemory, and these
are the beginning of nervous
prostratlon. Iron and tonics
and bitters may afford some
temporary relief, but what you
need is a food for body, brain
and nerves.

week. estimates made to-day In the banking
community varying from SO 00O. 900 to 81 000, 900,

increased demand for exchange as reflected in

progress will be made with tariff legislation. as

The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-10-28

Robert Cook, an inventor of Boston,
now staying in Pittsburg, has made a
$1,000 bet with a Chicago merchant
that he can walk on water from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati, a distance of 400
miles, in fourteen days. To accomplish
this feat Cook will wear water shoes of
his own invention, with which he
claims he can walk with as much ease
and comfort on water as anybody can
on an asphalt pavement. The shoes are
a trifie over 4 feet long, 6 inches wide
and 6 inches deep. The place for the
foot is in the center, and the shoe is
strapped to it. The shoe is perfectly
alright. 1t is covered with white cedar
wood, the bottom being of white hick-
DRY, which gives strength to the shoe.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-10-28

started on a dead run-for the fence.
He took it like a goat and landed in
6ne shape in the intervening space.
What had seemed impossible was done
within a minute of opening the game,
He was driven back and made a new
survey and seemed a little ashamed
that he had failed. Then suddenly he
rallied a second time, and with a
fercer dash than before he not only
cleared the fence, but the intervening
SPACE and got his front feet on the
place where, till hat instant, a crowd
was seated. They were not there
when he landed. He fell back into the
passageway and re-entered the ring.
If he had tried again l think he'd have
gene clear up and Joined the specta-
tors. But he evidently thought it was
the other fellows turn, so he just stood
and looked at them. They lourished
their gay cloths at him, but he only
snorted Come on"' and the rules Of
the game forbade. Soon a new foot"
was sounded, and that meant TAKE
the bull out"
He had saved his life, but he wasn't
out of the ring. He had no idea of
leaving. The fighters couldn't touch
MIN, since the signal had been given,
and two finely mounted cowboys came

AS surely as a lie travels faster than
the truth, SO surely does vice outrun
virtue in the race for the occupancy CT
advantageous mining. The mining
headquarters in the British possession
lear the Alaskan boundary furnish an
illustration. There were gambling dens
and other evil resorts there several
months ago, but no churches or reading
rooms. Last fall when navigation
closed On the Yukon river the steam
boats with provisions for the miners
were a long distance off. but the boats
bringing whisky had arrived. dis
charged their cargoes and departed.
The race eventually, of course, will be
won by virtue-since God rules-just
as truth by its inherent might prevails
over falsehood.

In. One lassoed his horns and tried
to pull him out, but the bull weighed
the most and leaned the other way.
Then the other lassoed his heel and
the two started off in opposite direc-
tions. This threw the animal down
and he was hauled out on his side to
go back to the plains in disgrace.
He ought to have been decorated and
dedicated to the founding Of a race
of peace-making, high-kicking and fast
running cattle. Instead he will be used
for the boys who hope to be bull
fighters to practice on on the ranch.
No bull is paid for till after the battle.
and If one fails to charge his owner
can't charge either.
There are seven bulls at each fight,
and il two out of those are not killed
you get tickets free to the next fight.
This time the other six were killed.
one after the other. They fought
fiercely, charged around the ring,
scared the fighters over the fence times
without number and died hard; but
the odds were too many. 1t isn't very
unpleasant to see a bull killed. He
doesn't finch. He is game till it's over.
But the shameful, i~nexcusable barbar-
ity of the whole thing is in the fate
of the horses ridden by the picadors.
These futile scrubs, weaker than the
old stage horse in his very last stage,
are ripped and torn by the bulls most
horribly. Four were killed at the
