There are mourners in town today
and more of them in Silver City, over
the unannounced leave taking of Dr..
Ferguson, the dentist. 1t appears that
the doctor flew too high, being gentle
manly fellow in his manners and
socially inclined and could not make
ends meet. He is young yet and may
quiet down and Go better.
DR.. Jones, LeLamar's resident den
tist. left this morning for weeks pro-
fessional visit to Jordan Valley. The
doctor has been very busy here for
some weeks past, or since he has moved
into his Office, and has turned out some
very fine jobs in the way of bridge,
crown and plate work, which have
reputation for him.
William Gillard and Rod Mcmillan
started out yesterday for deer hunt,
going in the direction of South Mount
ain and the jumpers. We took the
trouble to caution the gentleman that
the game law limits the number of deer
which may be taken by each individual
daring the season. We did not want
them to get into trouble by overstepping
the bounds of the law in this particular.

Disastrous as the news coming from
the Transvaal may appear for the
British, all the same when the war is
ended, cruel and prolonged as it may
be, the result will be a stronger and
wider grip of Great Britain upon South
Africa. England has never let go her
grip upon any territory in the world
since the surrender of her army at
Yorktown, and that was after Il seven
years war with people of her own race
and blood. With all her great re-
sources and grit which has not known
ultimate defeat for six score of years,
the loss of an army of twelve Thousand
men, though creating dismay, viii never
end in final surrender of her claims.

stations of railway extending from

ent Massey to disorganize the district
under the new law, which as it came
out in pamphlet form, gave the coun-
ty superintendent the right to disor-
ganize school districts upon petition,
where there were less than fifteen
children Of school age in the district.
Mr.. Massey discovered today, upon
receipt Of the new statute book, that
the act was amended before passage,
making the number seven instead OF
fifteen. The petition to disorganiz.
was therefore not within the provi-
siOns Of the law, and Mr.. Massey has
so informed them.

editor and publisher of the New North

THE STORY OF TONAKA.

The story of Walla Tonaka, a Choctaw
Indian, reads like a romance of a long
forgotten past. Tonaka has been thrice
sentenced to be shot and thrice has he
escaped death. For the fourth time he
has been sentenced to suffer the death
penalty, the execution of which will take
place today, unless the messenger, bear
ing the papers hat will give him another
lease of life, reach the place of his tenn
porary imprisonment before the fatal
hour arrive for the shooting.
The strange and romantic part of the
story is that Tonaka has been a practi-
cally free mar since he was convicted
and sentenced to be shot a year ago last
summer. This all occurred in the Indian
territory. Every renewal of the sem
tence has been followed by a reprieve.
but Tonaka was always on hand prepared

any process of law. His word was as
good as a bond or bail and religiously
kept. Death had no terrors for him. but
dishonor and disgrace had. He could face
his death at the hands of his best and
dearest friends but he could not look
either in the face with the odium which
would attach itself to him if he failed in
this word. Three times Tonaka has APP
peared, as Damon appeared to suffer
death. Three times has the fatal bullets,
failed to speed their way to his heart.
1t is hoped that one who has so nobly
stunned dishonor will escape the penalty
today. Tonaka is the Damon of this
century. ..

The latest from Manila is that General
Otis has the situation there we'll in hand,
and that there is no reason to apprehend
any trouble to keep order in that city,
where the cream of his troops is stationed.
The report from Madrid that foreign
troops are ~disembarking at Manila, is
d%iscredited at Washington. No credence
is given to Information from Spanish
sources concerning affairs at the Philip
pines. General Dewey firmly declines to
discuss the reasons why he sent for the
Oregon to join him at Manila. Desultory
firing by the rebels near Caloocan and
San Pedro Macati, is going on. Among
the additional casualties to troops under

The passage of the Tierney-, anti
gambling law seems to be assured. The
objection made against the present law
is that the penalty for it's violation is too
severe-so severe hat it proves a bar
to it's enforcement and that the crime
committed is not commensurate with the
penalty. It is held by about all who
favor the suppression Of gambling that
the object of the law would be better at
tanned by making gambling a INSIDE
meanor, punishable by a fine, or impris-
onment in the county Jail, than by MAX
ing il a, penal offense. That is an expert
ment to be tried. The old law could have
been enforced, it was not. The new law
NAV be enforced, time will determine
whether it will be. If public opinion be
behind the law, wide-open gambling will
be relegated to the "has beens," If not,
our old anti-gambling law will do as
well as another. But gambling should
be suppressed. Montana has outgrown

WORK OF THE FIFIY-FlFTH CON-
GRESS.

History has been made in fast sue
ceeding chapters during this congress-.
which will draw to a close next Satur-
day. Events have crowded events in
such rapid succession that one has
hardly been grasped in memory when
another calls for a place upon it's walls.
This congress declared war against
Spain, placed $50, 0Oo, 900 in the hands Of
the president to take the initial steps in
the campaign, voted more moneys to
prosecute the war, it saw armies and
battleships sent to the West Indies and
the Philippines, it witnessed Spain con-
quered by force of arms, one branch
ratified a treaty of peace entered into
with that country, and all was done
within ten months from the day war
was declared against Spain.
1t required much legislation upon the
part of this congress to put offensive
operations in motion and to continue
them up to the present time, but much
other legislation was perfected in the
meantime. The third session of the
Fifty-ffth congress has been a busy one.
Among it's many acts the annexation of
Hawaii is among the more important,
--uz3 4,-a@- 20 arI;tr ~ tinp with
Great Britain was rejected by the SEN
ate. a national bankrupt law, which had
been hanging fire for a long time, was
enacted; provision was also made for
taking the twelfth census, and the re-
organization of the personnel of the navy
was effected.
Among prominent matters Of legisla-
ton still pending are the Nicaragua
cana proposition, the increase of the reg
ular army, which aroused much opposi-
ton, but upon which, it is said, a COM
promise has been effected, thus avoiding
the calling Of an extra session of con-
gress, the anti-scalping bill, which has
been dragging along; the measure pro-
viding for the encouragement of Ameri-
can shipping, and the Hawaiian bill.
Some of these measures may be enacted
into law, while the consideration of
others will, doubtless, be left to the
~Fifty-sixth congress, in which case, how
ever they must be re-introduced and
worked from the ground up.
1t is hardly possible that the ensuing
congress will be met with conditions sc
momentous as those faced and solved by
the one about to expire. The Philippine
question is in process of solution ant
may be satisfactorily settled before the
next regular session of congress. But
whether it be or not, no anxiety may be
felt from that quarter as to the ultimate
result of the present conditions. The
president has full power to act in tht
premises, and confidence is placed in his
discretion to do what is best for the
Filipinos and the people of this country
