THE LEMEN BROTHERS.
WORLDS MONSTER
SHOWS.

We had been long time prepar-
ed to announce the coming of a
big circu to Garrett on Tuesday,
Sept. 2Sth, the day and date now
being positively fixed for the ap-
psarance of Lemen Brothers Mon
ster shows, but we surely had no
idea, until we were recently assur-
ed of the fact, that the shows were
anything like the size and complete
ness which they are said to be.
Reports from our correspondents
in other places, and from our vari'
GUS exchanges along the lines by
which the big show is coming, tell
wonderful tales of the glorious and
triumphant march of this magnlfi'
cent and marvellous tented amuse-
ment giant. A mere newspaper
notice, no matter how extended,
can not tell a tenth of the wonders
which the great tents are credited
with holding. There is a large,
Three.ring circus, monster me-
sagerie, which, by the way, is en-
tirely distinct and separate, from
the Wild Beast Show, which con-
sists of all kinds of savage brutes
exhibited in startling performances
in q huge, steel-barred, circular
cage, the same as seen in European
capitals, New York, and the Chica'
20 and Atlanta expositions. Then
there is a real Roman Hippodrome,
and a world of wonders, which
space forbids detailed account OF
here. All in all, the Lemen Shows
are held to be most surprising and
pleasing uniication of all that is
new and wonderful in the great cir
Gus world, and our people may ex-
pect to be agreeably surprised at
the marvellous exhibition which will
be seen here.

Why Wheat and Silver Part
Company.

eyes, there is a great deal OF
talk by our Republican friends
about the price of wheat, and
really wheat is up little. 1t is
selling for half what it did be-
fore silver was demonetized, and
is worth as much now as it was
in December last-though the
spectators had gotten it out OF
the farmers hands before the
price went up in December.
But this year, the very short
wheat crop in foreign lands fore
ed the price upward despite the
efforts of the spectators to con-
troll it, and the farmers got the
benefit.
"You ask why wheat went
up and silver went DOWN. That
is the question the gold standard
advocates have been gleefully
hurting at free silver men, just
as if there was something mys-
ferrous about it. The reason,
briefly stated, is this Our gov
eminent has so Disseminated
against silver, and in favor of
gold, that the white metal,
which ought to be one of our
great sources of wealth, has been
forced down in price until to-day
the bullion in silver dollar is
only worth 43 cents. England
has closed the minis under her
control against free coinage of
silver. Our government has
done likewise. Thus silver is
thrown upon the markets of the
world like other commodities to
sell, for whatever it will bring.
England still coins silver on gov
ernment account. She now buys
for AZ cents enough of our silver
bullion to coin into 90 cents,
face value. Thus she makes
100 per cent profit. Armed
with this advantage, which our
single gold standard system gen
erously bestows upon her, she
uses this coin at its face val1ein
purchasing wheat (whcn they
have any to sell in India. This
wheat protected by 100 per cent.
profit to start on, is laid down in
the Liverpool market, aud our
wheat growers have to compete
with these conditions.
"Now, the reason why
wheat went up is well known
and admitted BY all fair-rninded,
intelligent people to be short
crops in foreign wheat-producing
countries. The reason why sill
yer went down, is simply be-
cause there is no wheat to sell
in India this year, hence Eng
land doesn't need our silver, and
the demand is thus cut short,
and of course silver went
down
eff there should be a usually
good crop OF wheat III lndla
next year, the effect will be to
increase the demand for our sill
ver-and lessen the demand for
our wheat. The result would be
that Silver would go up and
wheat go down. and the two
commodities would again assume
the same relation to each other,
so far as price is concerned, that
they have borne for a quarter of
century past. "-Ex- Governor

"uNTIL THE DAYBREAk."

A human soul went forth into the night,
Shutting behind it Deaths mysterious
door.
And shaking off with strange, resistless
might
The dust that once it wore.
So swift its flight, suddenly Il sped
AS when by skillful hand a bow is bent
The arrow fiies-tlose watching round the
Marked not the way it went.
Heavy with Grief. their hing.tear-dimmed
Saw but the shadow fall. and knew not
when,
Or in what fair or unfamiliar guise,
1t left the world of men.
1t broke from sickness. that with iron
bands
Had bound it fast for many a grievous
day;
And love itself with its restraining hands
Might not its course delay
Space could not hold it back with lettering
Time lost its power. and ceased at last

1t swept beyond the boundary of the stars
And touched Eternity.
Out from the house of mourning family
lit,
1t passed upon its journey all alone;
SO far not even thought could follow 1t
Into those realms unknown.
Through the clear silence of the moonless
dark
Leaving no footprints of the road 1t
trod,
Straight arrow cleaving to it's mark
TIE soul went home to God
'Alas!' they cried, he never saw the
morn.
But fell asleep outwearied with the

Nay. rather, he arose and met the dawn

Waters OF the Big Muddy.
SIOUX CITY. Ia, May 1S.-Since the
Missouri river began to fall after the
rise of a few weeks ago it has been cut
ting banks badly on both sides be-
tween Bismarck and Onawa, some dis
tance south of Sioux City. Many land
owners on its shores lost their en-
tire farms. Recently the stream grew
weary of this form of amusement. and
in the search for novelty began
operations near Sloan toward short
ening its course by cutting across a
bend at the point in question. Directly
in its path is a graveyard % or so years
old. Before any one knew what was
happening the collins were tumbling
into the muddy current at the rate of
four or five day. AS Roadway was
gained the number constantly in
creased, and had steps not been taken
to remove the bodies all would within
a week have started outward.
The custodians OF the ground
promptly notified friends of parties
buried there that they would be I'M
able to remove the bodies in time, and
that relatives would have to assist in
the work if they cared to save the re-
mains from the stream. Indications
are that the cemetery will SOON be
swept entirely away.

They VIII Ask the Government to Revoke
Injurious Inspection Rule.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, May 1S.-Con-
gresham Mason S. Peters, who has
been here for ten days, will return to
Washington this week, and will pro-
test against the taking effect of a new
order of the bureau of animal industry
with reference to the treatment of dis
eased sheep by the government in
spectors at the stock yards throughout
the country. Under the regulations
now in force the government animal
inspectors cause ''scabby" sheep to be
dipped in pools of medicated water at
the yards before they are taken from
the market. 1t is averred that it has
been demonstrated that one dipping
is sufficient to effect a cure. However,
the department last week issued new
order which will require the sheep to
be held ten days after the first treat
ment and then dipped again. Congress
man Peters stated that in his opinion
the enforcement of this new rule would
virtually cause the confiscation of the
''scabby" sheep sent to market, as they
would ''eat their heads off, while they
were held for the ten days required by
the new rule.

WASHINGTON, May lit was an
nounced Saturday evening with a show
OF authority that the president is so
much displeased with the senate tariff
bill in general that he will veto it I'M
less its sugar schedule is vitality
amended. He was much better pleased
with the house bill, which is thought
to have been drawn in some part ac-
cording to his informally expressed de-
sires- The president has no idea that the
senate bill will pass congress, and is SO
confident of it that he is not in the
least disturbed at the possibility of
having to officially give it his dis
approval. The president is opposed to
the bill in general, not that he finds
something to complain of in every
feature, but that in the main it is uu-
satisfactory.

HIM, and of professional beauties who
were not nearly so beautiful as his OWE
sisters. For his family was handsome
as well as of great repute and rich.
There were also royal groups from the
Graphic and illustrated News on his
walls, and there Were books in five diff

The change was not unpleasant. He
looked after his stock, and played the
musical instruments, and read the
books in five languages for a twelve
month. He decided that he was re-
formed then, and began to grow tired
OF being patriarch over his own herds.
Patriarchs, as he understood it, had
wives and children. He had only horses,
and they didn't take the place of So
ciety. He was fond of society. So he
made the acquaintance of some of the
officers at Keogh. They gave him stag
dinners in Miles City and they enter

did not invite him to their houses. He
did not meet their daughters nor their
wives. An Englishman has to grow

it-that the rumors, moreover, are fire.
quently exaggerated. Lovat began to
grow wise. At first he wondered, then
he understood. He asked himself what
after all, is the reward of virtue; and he
determined that it has none. There are
those who hold otherwise, but the ques-
ton is not yet settled. He was lonely,
eXpatriated and homesick. He was also
young and full of energy and anxious to
be met half way. But he could not
travel the whole road alone. He turned
and went back to where he had started
from. There, at least, there was femi-
nine companionship. His vice was less
gilded than of yore, but that was the
fault of the country.
He threw over once and for all every
hope of admission TO the society of his
equals in the garrison The service IS

he was still entertained by the men.
When it was too late to plend-for,

aye, bitterly. He met and fell in love
with Constance hamberlain, as many

miles from the post. She had dismount-

wolves We're very troublesome in the
locality, and many farmers purchased
sheep dogs to protect their focks. As
the wolves grew fewer the dogs received
less and less attention. In many
cases they were insufhciently fed, un-
til they finally returned practically to
the wild state. They have multiplied
rapidly and are now a veritable pest
all over the north central counties.
They are stronger than the wolves and
work infinitely more mischief.
