a day aud a night in a fairly COM
Portable steamboat a. a height Of
over two miles above the sea. The
water on which you accomplish
this remarkable feat is Lake Titi-
caca, which lies between Peru and
BOLIVIA. 1t is huge lake, l20 miles
oug and nearly sixty wide, and is
over 5000 feet deep. 1t is away up
n the mountains, above the clouds.
Nine rivers flow into it besides 4
vast amount of snow water, yet it
mas no visible outlet.
The 600 ton steamers which sail
on Lake Titacaca we're built in
Scotland, carried over the passes
.in sections, and put together on
the spot. The fuel is Australian
coal, brought from 1000 miles away.
In the Lake are many beautiful
Islands. and the cliffs which lines

The historian of the future, if he
oe honest, will be in duty bound to
refer TO the last third of the nine-
teenth century, in the United
States, as the "bond-age," for it
was during those years that the
money changers acquired by bri
berry, complete control in this boast
ed and of the free. The first gre II
financial deat" they made was il
buying Grant to become the tool of
the gang, and forsake the people
and they, the shylocks, have worked
the same deal with every president

of the next century will, we trust,

on a change of venue from Custer. Be-
fore the case was fully started, Mrs. Nc

PENDANTS to the suit II appears she
sold the calf to her son and he to some
Of the Stabler women, who in turn turn
| ed it over to Charles Stabler. Mrs. Nc
Donald claims to have received title
froL her husband. In order to prove
their title il was necessary to prove Mrs.
McDonald's title, hence she was made
one of the defendants. 1t is also said
that Mr.. West holds a mortgage from
Mr.. Mcdonald covering this indentical
calf. This new phase of the case gave
Mcdonald a chance to ask for further
time which was granted, and a continu.
ance taken until Monday, April 3rd.
Mr. McDonald's attorney was not pres

was spokesman who made quite an i'm
