AT HIS OLD TRICKS.
Press Woodruff Plays Joke on Michigan
Farmers.

Press Woodruff, who at one time
made his home in Butte and who styles
| himself the "Arkansaw Humorist,"
seems to have worked his way as far
east as New York and Benton Harbor.
He still carries with him that famous
| self satisfying idea of the quality of
| humor which springs forth from his
| never-failing fountain of mirth as is
indicated by the following story from
New York:
Press woodruff. an Arkansas hum or
list, has just perpetrated a joke upon
the people of Benton Harbor. Mich,
calculated to make Bryan G. Hughes
turn green with envy.
They have been holding a carnival
and fruit jubilee at Benton Harbor,
and Jerry Simpson was announced to
address the crowd. Simpson could not
attend and Woodruff agreed to imper-
senate him.
He put on his make up in Chicago
and sailed for Benton Harbor When
he reached there he found IA carriages
full of citizens and a brass band wait
ing for him. He was escorted to a
temporary platform in the most prom
inent part of the city, and when in
troduced by A. l.. Hammond, said:
Gentlemen and Political Friends:
trust you will overlook my rheumatics
and that collection of prejudice which
I have for the republican party. You
all do know that am quite anti-every-
thing except jerry Simpson.
II want to speak to you, my friends,
on a matter of very grave Importance,
and that is this: How long can we
stand for combina tons? How long can
we stand for trusts to rule? Not long,
| I hope. Do you know that the time
| is not far hence, If you do not put men
in office who can turn a deaf ear to
| bribery, when the poor will be living
| in the ground like rats? They will be
| crushed to the earth like yellow dog
who has no pride of ancestry and very
| little hope of posterty.
Now, let me say a word on the
American banking system. No bank
| has right to fail If. in case of fail
| ure, the same old sign goes up, Closed
| on account of inability to realize on
securities the president of any bank
should get 20 years for such a thieving
excuse In China, in case of bank
| failure, every officer must suffer the
loss of his head. Let it be so in Amer
| lea"
Woodruff says he was not used to
| speaking to such a multitude and
when the show was over he took the
first boat for Chicago before the crowd
| got on He was cheered wildly by
the farmers, few of whom could under
stand him.

and promises to endure for years the
story, while Astounding in stirring and
sensational scenes, is romantic ana
idyllic by turns and isltold with
directness of purpose and swiftness OF
action rarely found in plays of its
kind. 1t does not depend for consld-
GRAFTON upon some ingenious scenic de-
vice or sensational horror. the Incl
dents and strong climaxes are led up
to gradually and logically and are a
part of the story. Pure sentiment, val
orous deeds, romance, humor, splendid
clean-cut comedy combined with keen
dramatic instinct. all are found in this
delightful drama. The characters are
drawn with skill The strength of the
play, or more properly speaking, the Sc
cret of it's great popularity is ascribed
to the vigorous and unconventional
manner in which the author has han
died his material. Its healthful tone
makes it welcome. This is the seventh
season for the play and it's drawing
powers remain as great as heretofore.

handled Modjeska throughout her career

as much money as fame. ! suppose if the
matter was inquired into intelligently it
would be found always the same, except

OFFICIAL PAPER OF. TETON COUNTY.

John Barrett, our late minister to
Siam, remarked recently that in visiting
leading Asiatic ports last winter, after
an absence of a year or more, he found
among statesman, merchants and men in
administration a lively INTEREST in every
thing pertaining to the United States.
He found merchants desirious of hand
ling American goods, and markets in
favorable condition to receive the re-
suits Of American handicraft. That
opportunity is likely to be converted to
good use.

month against 955 last year, is relatively
the best in tho entire series of records on
that phase of business.

their ghoulish thirst for blood we would
recommend that a committee be ap
pointed to hang one of their party upon
their return. Such maudlin curiosity

THE CANADIANS
WANT HIGH DUTIES

New York, April S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Toronto says: A strong
deputatOn of Georgian bay umbermen
has gone to Ottawa to petition the gov
eminent to impose a duty of 81 on Amer
ican lumber, 80 cents on shingles and %
cents on laths. These are now on the
free list. The Georgian bay deputation
is to be supported by one from Rat Port
age and one from British Columbia. The
imports of foreign products from the
United States increased from 81, ,032 ,554 in
1897, to s., 527 500 iii 1898, while Canada's
total export of forest products shrank
from $3l, ,z58, 729 in 1897 to $2651l 539 in
1898, the loss being chiefly in planks and
boards sold to the United States, the
value of which declined from $8,612, ,241
in 1897 to $3,706,S SS7 in 1898 But the lum-
her market is now excellent, the home
demand being greater, the sales increas-
ing and the shipments from the Ottawa
district of coarse lumber to the United
States being large.
Lumbermen now say that a Canadian
duty equal to the Dngley duty would be
preferable to reciprocity with the United
States. Stiff opposition will come from
Manitoba which is free trade province
American lumber sales in Manitoba in
creased from $122, 500 in 1897 to $204 $50 in
1898 Lower freights favor the Manitoba
lumbermen. The last time the lumber
men approached Sir Wilfrid Laurier on
the subject he pointed out the adverse
effect on Manitoba.
