VAN WICK ITEMS.

Several train loads of L. S.
soldiers passed Van Wyck going
south by the 5. A. l.. this week.
They were very quiet and thel.
behavior was such as, is becoming
men who wear Uncle Sans uni
form. If they continue theil
journey in this manner they will
not receive the censure given to
those who were mustered out. and
acted SO shameful on their homes
ward journey north. From the
newspaper reports of the war, the
United States will have a lot of
hard fighting and much work vet
to do in its newly acquired terri
tory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wisenfield of
Baltimore visited their plantation,
known as the Chafee place, in
Waxhaw township last Monday.
The tenants on these lands were
glad 10 see them, and put in their
plea for better dwelling houses.
The lands are good, and some of
It as fine as is found in the county:
but the buildings are very poor.
We have often thought, how much
more advantageous it would be for
the country if these large planta-
tons were cut up into smaller
farms and good houses erected
and leased or sold to good white
families. There are about is or
20 farms on this place and not
white family among them.
Mr.. Ike Tillman visited Van
Wyck last Tuesday. He was
much surprised at the many
changes that have taken place
since he was last here. About
twenty years ago, he owned the
land upon which Van Wyck is
located. 1t was then in timber.
and he sold 1t cheap, little think
ing that a railroad would he built
through it so soon and town
located here. HIS friends we're
glad to see him and are glad to
know that he is getting along we'll
in his adopted home in the clone
Star State" and has been honored
by being chosen as one of the
Judges Of his county which is an
honorable and responsible office
in the gift of the people and shows
IN what esteem Mr.. Tillman is
held among his new friends and
neighbors.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. W. Nisbet of
Wnxhaw spent several days with
their friends in Van Wyck COM
munity this week. They were
helping to look after the wild
strawberry crop, which has been
bountiful this year.
Mr.. &. &. Cooper, the popular
shoe drummer of FIeisbman, Nor.
ris & Co, of Richmond, has boen
here looking after the footwe ear
If Van Wyck. He is still selling
the "best on the market" and
will sing you song "free gratis. I"
Some of our people say we
draw too much on the Imagination
in our writings. Others say Van
Wyck needs a regular newspaper
hut this would be needless ex-
pense for our local news.
We have news disseminators s
and circulatcrs that are improve-
ments on the most modern print<
ing and circulating mediums.
They just open their mouths, and
it spins out with electric speed,
and is carried rapidly, it seems
by the atmosphere to the four
quar- ters of the globe. No modern
machinery can surpass these

THE DOG GOT THE BRUSH

A very curious circumstance happened in the fox hunt at Clinton Saturday. The dogs were hard on the heels of a fox, when the fox darted into a hole, but some obstruction impeded it's passage, and it only entered far enough to con ceal it's body, leaving the end of it's bushy tail sticking out of the hole. When the men came near they saw one of the dogs tearing across the field with the brush" in it's mouth, and the fox flying in another direction, with nothing left of it's beautiful tail but the skinned stump. The dog had literally pulled off the hide, and, having obtained the brush, retired from the contest. Several shots were fired at the fox but failed to bring him down.-Hartford (Conn) Courant

THE WAR AND THE MAGAZINES.

THE WAR AND THE MAGAZINES.
 A gentleman connected with the office management of one of the most success
 full of the current magazines was in the
 city recently, looking over the southern
 field. In the course of conversation he
 mentioned some interesting things dis
 cernable behind the scenes in the pub
 fishing business. During the last
 twelve months" he said "there has been a most extraordinary increase in
 the number of manuscripts received by the magazines from all parts of the
 country. You will hear it talked about
 fin every office in New York. It seems as if the whole nation had simply gone daft on the subject of scribbllng. Where we received a hundred contrlbu-
 tions a year ago we are now getting at least a thousand, and all the big maga- zines have been forced to double their staffs of readers and correspondence clerks to take care of the increased mail A large percentage of the arti- cies submitted have some bearing on the recent war and are written by mem- bers of the volunteers They include little of everything-stories, sketches, poems, personal "reminiscences and his- torical sketches and we have been obliged to get out special circular let ter stating that we would not undertake to even examine any more war matter. T believe most of the other magazines have done the same thing. The average writer doesn't realize that great monthly publication must be run on strictly business principles. We esti- mate that it costs us almost sixty cents to put a manuscript of, say twenty-five hundred words, through the hands of the first reader. It is handled by three clerks before it gets to him, and the first reading is merely to determine whether it is worth any further atten- tion. If the verdict is favorable, it is carefully examined by special staff, who read it in rotation and submit written report, an operation that costs considerable money. To give that amount of attention to even tenth of the stuff that pours in on us would bankrupt any house in the country. Yet raw amateurs are constantly com plaining because every word of their manuscript is not read. Often they prrposely transpose the last few pages, and when they go back undisturbed they write us sarcastic letters. As a rule. the first paragraph decides the | fate of 8 contribution.

 II e can promptly carry out these plans our people will be saved from starvation and suffering, and we will not have a very large number of actual famine orphans to care for, at lea from the Christian community Yet many will come, as has been already in dlcated, as the scarcity increases.

 All money sent in response to this ap- peal should be sent to the Bombay Guardian Relief Fund.

rendered w. A. Hedges by his con-
stituents In Fergus county was only
a fitting tribute to that stalwart
Republican, who was one Of the un-
tainted members of the state legis-
lature. Mr.. Hedges made II record
for himself that his Republican friends
are proud of, and among these are
The Gazette and Yellowstone county
Republicans.
Private L. ID. Smith of Company
l was among a number of Montana
soldiers who arrived at San Francis
co a few days ago on the transports
Grant and Sherman, en- route home.
Private Smith Is a veteran OF the
civil war and only managed to pass
the mastering officer last spring
through strategy. Since reaching
Manila rheumatism rendered him
wholly unfit for service and much to
his disappointment he was invaded
home. He may be expected in Lew
istown any day.
Mrs. Dorset, more Familiarity known
as Calamity Jane" and years ago
a well known character in this sec
ton as well as other parts OF the
west, arrived from Billings last week
and is seeking employment. She
carries her years well and vas recog-
nized by several who remember seeing
her last In the early sos. OF her
experiences In the west a large vol
ume has been written and from time
to time additional chapters appear
in the state and eastern papers.
Doubtless many subscribers have
noted, during the past three or four
weeks the emitting of the three final
letters in the word though" and
the use OF the word "tho" in these
columns. This is upheld by the
highest authorities as well as the
following: Program (programme),
altho (although), thoro (thorough),
catalog (catalogue), prolog (pro-
logue), decalog (decalogue), demagog
(demagogue), and pedagog (peda-
gogue. All of these changes are re-
commended by Prof. Benz. Andrews,
formerly of Brown college and at
present superintendent OF schools in
Chicago While the phonetic method
may not come into general use in a
century, the dropping of unnecessary
terminal letters Is favored by the
best dictionary authorities.
During the past week 1t has been
intimated that certain saloon keepers
have become more bold in the estab-
lishment OF gambling rooms and
that at present the knights ofcloth'
are doing a very lucrative business
on the ground floors as well as In
ouSh hoohIo oh thC uPPCt hooIb'
This might well beinvestigated by our
county attorney and sheriff. While
I. Is doubtless true that gambling
always has and always will be
carried on In Lewistown, just as are
other crimes, public sentiment de.
mands that the players be compelled
to at least keep their games secret
and not have 1t so prominent that
even the unwilling and uninitlated
shall hear daily OF "how the play
came up" A heavy penalty awaits
the man found guilty OF conducting
games and it would be well for them
to seek pastures new before they are
trapped. How about this, Mr.
Sheriff?
