A SICKLY VAIL.

"a oxShL4 '" ALL.
Last summer it vas decided by our board
~of commissioners to obtain the printing Of let.
cerheads and other county stationery wher.
ever it could be done the cheapest. Tha,
was all right. The different newspaper Of,
aces of the city were invited to submit bids
sor the county printing until April, the regu-
Ear time for letting such contracts. The bid
of The Republican was the lowest and all
snpslies ordered were supplied at the price
and were satisfactory. The populists obtain
Sai control Of the Offices the fast Of this year,
ao~ever, and their paper must be supported,
SO the new officers, or a part of them at least,
quietly ordered their supplies elsewhere with
'out any regard to the agreement made in the
summer and without even giving this office,
which had previously bid tn, lowest, any no.
slce OF their intention of doing SO. This kind
ot business management may suit those OF
the populists who are populists for revenue
only, but we are Of the opinion that it will
not SUIT the taxpayers Or anyone who believes
IN common fairness.-We(a)kly Republican.
Me really feel sorry for our be-
whiskered brother across the alley,
but truth is mighty and must pre-.
vail, consequently we are obliged
TO present a few trnths in relation
40 the matter which has brought
grIef and woe to the Republican
ssanctum: First, The UNION de-
slres TO plead guilty to the charge
aDf doing most of the county print
zng for some time past. However
we must call the Republican down
on what it says regarding its bid
being the lowest. Flatly, such is
mot the case, and the assertion will
not hold water for a minute. On
xhe bulk of the county printing SO
dar done by the Union, bids have
been solicited from all three Rapid
CITY newspapers, including the
Republican, The work came to
che UNION for the simple reason
that its prices were the lowest, and
much Of it came from a repub ican
county auditor after he had solicit
ed these bids. Of course, these
facts show the fictitious position Of
the Republican. Tie UNION will
readily compare its bills with the
figures given in the Republicans
bid. Furthermore, the Republi
can has no contract for the county
printing, MOI does it hold any
agreement that should give it any
preference W. = competitor.
To boil the thing down, tn,
First National Bank organ is anx
sous to find fault with the new
county officials simply because
they are silver men. But in viev
of the result Of tho ate election il
Pennington county, such a so1'
feeling is perfectly natural. II tn

MARVELLOUS CRRoNOMETER.
IL Is the Most Accurate Instrument Dc
vised by Man.


A chronometer is the most accurate
instrument devised by pan. The great
er part Of the chronometer's mechanism
resembles that Of the common watc,,
but is constructed with every possible
provision 10 insure accuracy, and so per-
feet is the instrument that even as far
back as 1926 Mr.. Harrison produced ~
chronometer which did not vary a sec
ond in ten years. Everything has been
done in the manufacture OF this marvel
Gus piece of mechanism TO avoid error
that human ingenuity can devise. Per
haps the most wonderful feature of the
chronometer is the compensation bal
ance, beautiful continuance for coun-
teracting the effect of changes of tenn
perature, which, by causing an ordi-
nary balance to expand and contract,
bring about variation of time. So
beautifully is the balance maintained
that a ship may pass from the torrid
zone to the neighborhood of the pole it
self, and the chronomcter will not vary

l left my former field of labor, River
side, and came to Los Angeles and from
there to San Diego to hold our confer
ence. There was some Is Elders pre-
sent and our worthy President and wife.
We arrived on the oath at one and that
night we all went out on the street and
held two rousing street meetings After
the meetings the Saints had socia BILE
prepared in the hall SO we all met with
them and their friends and had songs
speeches and then the next thing was
TO supply the inner man and then came
dancing. You see we have o variety.
The next day we held our conference,
holding three meetings. The Elders
took up the time in two OF them ana at
night our worthy president occupied the
time. 1t was a time of rejoicing to us.
The next day we held priesthood meet
ing the session lasting from two un-
til six. We received some valuable
instructions and were allotted to our
fields of labor. / was called to labor in
this place and it seemed very natural to
yet back in my old sto mping ground
as this seems like home to me; my old
friends received me kindly. Elder John
Y. Smith is to labor with me which
makes it more like home than ever.
The day after our priesthood meeting
we made up party OF twenty-five and
hired little launch nd...went out on
the ocean about seven miles TO fish.
After we got out on the water some OF
them began to get tired of their dinner
and started in to feed the fsh There
were some thirteen who were pretty sick
and some Of them said they were afraid
they would die and others were afraid
they would not. We caught about 200
lbs of fish, some weighing as high as 70
lbs and none less than seven. This is
the finest sport man ever had. 1t
was my second trip and l hope it will
not be my last. The membsr of the
party were President Nye and wife, of

Human Ostrich in Trouble.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. A.-Another hui
man ostrich is in trouble here. Like John
Whalen, who died in July last from
oevrloading his stomach with assorted
hardware. broken glass, &c, Walter ID.
Evans fears he swallowed too many door
knobs and rat-tail files. His stomach IS
troubling him. He called at the Office
of Drs. Rozenwald and Adams this morn
ing for treatment under the X-rays. In
spite Of his disquieting pains, Evans did
a stunt or so as an evidence Of good
faith. lie swallowed DR.. Adams watch
and several people heard 1t ticking away
somewhere in his internal economy be-
fore it was pulled out of him by string
that had been fastened TO 1t beforehand
for this purpose.
Responsible citizens say they have seen
Evans eat lacks by the box and ten
penny nails by the pound. He has eaten
several jackknife blades lately, and he
thinks they are the cause Of his pangs.
At any rate he wants TO know where
they are. The doctors will locate them
for him. e possible Evans was born in
Australia in 1873. His mother was a Ma
lay. he says, and his father a Welshman.-
