The town Of CCeur d'Alehe is getting
some free advertising through the repu-
diatiOn methods Of Treasurer CLAYTON.
The PREss is in receipt Of an INQUIRY
from the east asking whether or not the
people Of the town favor the treasurer,s
methods OF reputation. For the benefit
OF the writer, and others who may be in.
terested in the future honor and pros.
perity Of the town, we will state that
Clayton's acts are not endorsed by a
majority Of the people, although, We are
sorry to say, some few do approve Of
them. He is engaged in the saloon bus
mess, and has said that when he gets
the towns indebtedness wiped out he
viii have the liquor license law repealed.
Our eastern correspondent can see from
this that the treasurer's motive is a Der.
sonal one. and when he opens fight as
saloon man against the people the re-
suit will he disastrous to the saloon in
terests; but the other saloon men do not
endorse Clayton nor his methods. They
we'll know that he always figures for
himself, regardless Of public or other
interests.

Tue town treasurer has circulated q
petition very industriously this week,
asking Duncan Smith to come up from
Spokane and approve his reputation
acts. Clayton cannot have his acts in
dorsed withoutimporting nonresident.
About one citizen in ten signed his petit
ton, the large majority refusing to do so.
There Is a quorum Of the board of trus-
tees here without Mr.. Smith. and were
Clayton's methods honest he would
have no trouble in securing the approval
OF his acts. The petition is drawn up in
manner calculated to deceive the signer
and . number Of signatures were OBJ
tanned by these cunning methods.

"fought' between two no less person
ages than Gambetta, who was then
practically the dictator Of France. and
Il. de F0Crtou.
Some heated words had passed be-
tween the two in the chamber % depu-
ties, for which, according to the French
idea Of honor. nothing could atone ex-
cept duel The two men met, there

onds and the surgeons.
a look over the field was enough IL
convince any one present that there
would be no occasion for the doctors
services. A thick November fog over
hung the scene-so thick that one could

former lieutenant. who had taken to the
habits Of a gay man about town, called
upon him at the Horse guards in later
times of peace he treated the visit as
follows: What does that id old
pained jackass want with me:" His
military secretary, aghast, whispered.
"He will hear you, sir. F" Then the old
duke used the words so often quoted ::
"Do you think care twopenny tinker's
d-n whether he hears me or not;"
Poor Combermere, jauntily though be
