pounds and made a gross price of S91 per

When you ask an editor to suppress
an item of news because it does not suit
you, then go ask your grocer to exclude
pickles from his store because you can't
eat them, or your butcher to quit keep
ing bologna because it goes against your
stomach. There is just as much fairness
in n as in the other. News is the
editors stock in trade. So are pickles
to a grocer and bologna to a butcher

The people of Dupuyer were pleased
to welcome Frank Il. Dean home last
week, from the Klondike country. Mr..
Dean left here a year ago last February
to seek his fortune in that cold and
desolate country, and while he had only
been partially successful, he thinks the
Klondlke n Of the greatest mining
countries on earth. The ACANTHA has
been unable, as yet, 70 secure an inter
view from him, but hopes to be able to
do so in a short time.
1t is two weeks tomorrow since Col.
J.J. DOnnelly was last seen and absol-
utely no trace of the missing man has
yet been fonnd, despite the most careful
search. No one now doubts that he is
dead though some think that his re-
mains may be discovered in some coulee
or patch of brush, where he may have
died from weakness and exposure. The
old gentleman has many friends who re-
fuse to believe the suicide theory held
by most Of our citizens, River Press.
DR.. M. e. Knowles, state veterinarian,
returned yesterday from Highwood,
where he had been examining some
cattle affected with a peculiar disease.
For some time it VS. thought that the
disease was contagious. 1t effects the
nervous system of the animals, causing
them to become crazy and lose flesh,
failing to feed and running about
excitedly. The veterinarian made a test
by having the cattle corralled for several
days. They grew better while confined.
When released they at once went to a
section where grow loco, lobelia and wild
g%eranium. After eating, the cattle grew
worse, leading to the conclusion that one
of the plants causes the disease.
A further test is being made to deter
termine which of the plants is the in
furious one.
