GREAT CRY FOR LITTLE WOOL


The talk seems to be ust now all
about Roberts muchly married
man from Utah 1t seems that
Roberts was duly elected to Con-
gre~> and ii seems also that he is
possessed of three wives or three
wives are possessed of him. There
seems tn be some question as to
whether or not he should be seated.
Il has settled down to a matter OF
whether the New York World or the
New York JourHdi shall be winner.
Eh" iDItrHm opposes and the Horfd is
for him Thus the two yellow sheets
~ nearly breaking their necks to
49, who is victor no matter appar-
emily about the Justice of the case.
The Roberts case is all right
He has been duly elected and
up to the hour Of Congress conven-
ing tie has not been convicted OF any
thing wrong He is before the law
innocent and if he has a certificate OF
election he must be seated.
There can be no sentiment in the
case. OF course the fellow is morally
wrong and perhaps morally rotten.
But that is not tho case. If you are
elected to office and you have your
certificate of election and some fel-
low objects to your being seated be-
cause he thinks you stole horse in
Kansas. that makes no difference.
The thing to do or to have done, is
Ia arrest YOU and take you back to
Kansas and try you for the alleged
crime and if you are guilty sentence
You and make you pay the penalty OF
IT, In other words under the con-
stltGtion Roberts is innocent
There is perhaps little difference,
after all between Roberts and scores
aua scores of other Congressman.
The real difference is that Roberts
publicly introduces his miStresses
while Gentiles go about it in another
way, And we were about to say
that the Roberts way is perhaps the
more decent way-Danville Bee

THE NATIVE TOWNS.
Stroll Along the Water Front.-Whnt the
 News Tan Saw.-DOgs and Salmon.

News Tan Saw.-DOgs and Salmon.
 Every white mans town has also it's Indian or native village. The latter IS always on the water front, just a little above extreme high tide. The Indian village at Douglas City lies along the water front between Douglas City and Treadwell. They have a few houses and great many shacks. They have sold some of their possessary rights m their town and this summer Che whites have put up a great many good, sub stantial buildings. Between the water and these buildings, ,belongingt to natives and whites, there is railroad track built on a trestle about ten feet high. The men who live in Douglas City and work at the mines. walk on the board walk on this trestle, or we perhaps should say, some do, for there IS sClll another walk further back from the shore. VI,
 A News man walked up to TreadweIl last Saturday afternoon on the railroad track. It had rained in the morning, but the after part of the day was clear and not only warm, but decidedly hot. If there is anything in the world that makes an Indian tired-real, awful tired-it is a hot, sultry day. There wasn't much life in native town. One young klootch was, however, carrying a load of dried salmon into a shack, while group of from five to ten were sitting on the beach, tailor fashion, ap- parently in deep consultation. A little further on a middle aged klOOtch with Oxford shoes. was wading in the water towards 8 canoe. She didn't even take the trouble to raise her dress as she waded in the icy cold salt water, half way up to her knees. A little further on and we observed a boy about I7 years old in the act of trying to split a small piece of wood. He would stand it up on end and make a master stroke and then pound away at the stick awhile and then stand it up again. We stop ped and watched him for a long time. Not a smile was visible or cuss word audible, but diligently he kept trying to split that piece of wood. No doubt he finally gave up the job and retired to his shack i'll an exhausted condition. A few steps further and party of five were sitting on the rocks summing them selves. Here and there they were stretched out at full length on the ground. There was plenty of salmon hanging on suspended poles, that was being dried for winter use. At few places the salmon was laid on the rocks and we observed a group of five dogs that was going up to one big rock that was covered with the alleged king of fish. Salmon while undergoing the drying process does not look very in viting. The dogs, although far from a modern city, were conducting an invcs- tigation, similar to that of group of city canines when in the early morning they inspect the nearby telephone poles to ascertain if any dog had been there ahead of them earlier in the morning. There Was no one watching the fish and we left the group of dogs at the fish covered rock as we sauntered along.
 It was indeed quiet, lazy day in In dian town last Saturday.
