in Billings for the west bound train he
received an anonymous telegram saying
that his wife would he on the Red Lodge

Hart. though still scouting the two
warnings. nevertheless concluded to re-
main in the Magic City and await de-
velopments. Sure enough Mrs. Hart was
on Tuesdays train. She was doubtless
no less surprised upon finding her hus-
band at the Billings depot than was he
to find her there in the company and
under the surveillance of Sheriff John
Dunn. At first the woman refused to give
Hart any explanation of the plight she
was in. but finally staggered him with
the information that she was under ar
rest for stealing watch. Then she left
him in dazed and bewildercd condition
and waltzed off over town as noncha-
lantly as you please.

| It appears TINT some time ago Mrs. Dun

Hart's dressmakng establishment and
last Monday evening came in to get the
time piece and her dress for which she
had been measured. Learning that Mrs.
Hart was about to leave the city and had
packed the watch i'm her trunk, Mrs.
Dunbar became appreltensivc. Further
inquiry revealed tho fact that Mrs. Hart
had had her trunk checked and sent to
Joliet on ticket purchased by Miss
Myrtle Tonnie, who had been employed
in the dressmaking parlors and had re-
turned u her home M that place that
day. Tuesday morning the matter was
reported to Marshal Gebo and that
officer went to Mrs. Hart and was told
BY hcr that the watch had been placed
in the trunk by mistake and that when
She arrived at Joliet, to which place she
declared she was going on a short bust

the ticker back. Before the train pulled

of things, caused telegram to be sent
to the agent Mt Joliet, asking him to see

ceived to the effect that Miss Tonnie
had neither the key nor the check. That
afternoon another message was received,
stating that Mrs. Hart had not stopped

The political battle is on. The two
contending forces-one upholding and
constructing, the other tearing down
and destroying: the one representing
national honor, the other pseudo dis
content have unsheathed the political
sword and are now fully prepared for
the fray. In this citylast night the repubG-
can campaign for Carbon county was
formallyand enthusiastically opened. The
most notable feature Of the rally, ex-
ceeding il significance and force ai the
speaking that was done at the opera
house, was the magnificent assembling
Of the people to hear the issues of the
day discussed, and the patience with
which they remained throughout 4 long
and somewhat wearisome argument.

Great applause and cheers.) Mckinley
was elected in 96 and in 9s the mills
were again running full blast and forthe
last three years we have enjoyed the
greatest epoch Of prosperity in the his
tory Of the country.
The colonel then showed how, in one
year, in a time of profound peace, Grover
Cleveland increased the national indebt
edness to the extent Of S50,OOO,O0O, and
in four years he increased it $500 O0O, 600.
But under the Dingley bill the country
again revived. He proved how the de-
crease in the tariff on coal under the
Wilson free trade bill, allowed the i'm
portation of coal from Canada and other
countries, until, in 1886, there were
mined in this country only l91 1,9SG,3oO
tons but in 1S99 after three years more
of protective tariff, the amount of coal
mined in the United States had increased
to 25S,539G3O tons. The same result
occurred with wool which was protected
under the Mckinley BILL but placed on
the free list under the Wilson bill. Up
to that time we had never but once i'm
ported as much as 15OOOOOOO pounds,
but i'll the first year of the Wilson bill,
over 2OO.OO0OOO pounds. and in the last
year of that bill. over 35O,OOO,OoO pounds
of foreign wool came into this country

Shortly after dark the Rough Riders,
mounted and on foot, assembled at the
hall, preparatory to the parade. The
streets we're thronged with people. At
the head of the procession rode j. G.
Lane, carrying the American flag. May
or Larkin, Colonel Custer Attorney
Bailey and Walter Anderson followed in
carriage. Then came the Rough Rider
band the Rough Riders on foot and the
mounted men bringing up the rear. There
were about hundred uniformed men in
line and the torches they carried made
brilliant display. It was the large stand
most enthusiastic political procession
ever seen in Red Lodge.
The speaker of the evening was Col.
John w. Custer of Carbondale, ILL.,, an
old soldier and a cousin Of the late Gen
eral Custer, the martyr Of the Sioux
massacre. L. o. Caswell was introduced
by George H. Bailey as chairman of the
meeting. The Rough Rider Quartette
favored the audience with stirring
campaign song and Mr.. Caswell made a
few Introductory remarks,
When Colonel Custer was introduced,

Of the amented General Custer elected

be called an exactly up-to-date orator.
He is rather one Of the old school. His

out some first class arguments. But
many of his most telling points were not
presented in the climactic manner neces-
sary to make them effective. Some
criticized the speech on the ground that
it did not deal enough with the question
of imperialism. 1t is true that Colonel
Custer devoted the most of his energies
to the protection issue, a splendid idea
in wool town like Billings, but not SO
apt in Red Lodge.
Mr.. Custer referred at some length to
the history Of the republican party, de
claring that it stands always for the ele-
walton of labor. while the principle OF
democracy is to array the masses against
the classes. He showed how the repub
lican party decreased the national debt
which, at the close of the war, was 81,
221. 100000. Under q years of republi
can rule, bringing us down to the yea,
1892, this has been decreased to $585,
100000, as result of protective tariff
laws. Under President Harrison's ad
ministration the people were UNIVERSAL,
employed. A year after Cleveland wa:
inaugurated, our factories we're para
lyzed. Here the speaker drew a vivie
picture of the sufferings of the unem
ployed at that time, when soup houses
were in vogue in all the large cities

speech at Kansas City, "Of what use ar

farmers are not able to bu.
the products of those factories?
On the contrary, Mckinley said, Il dom

lieve it is better to open the mills ant

to take a lower price for his product.
Before closing. Colonel Custer referred
again to the silver question. scouting the
claim of Bryan that, under {, gold stan
dard, the circulating medium would be
contracted and that the gold dollar
would buy too much. He gave the peo=
pie practical illustration of the trouble
experienced in wild cat money times and
declared that not man lives who has
ever lost one cent by the depreciation Of
money coined under a republican admin
istration. The Colonel used number
of homely illustrations in explaining his
points, which seemed to appeal forcibly
to his hearers.
After the patrioric peroration which
ended the speech, Caswell called
for another song from the Rough Rider
quartet, who responded with That
Tired Feeling the song being londl,
chcered.

BARKING up THE WRONG TREE.
! Wyoming Paper, Evidently Inspired by
Malice, Makes Kick.

There Il a decided animus in the fol
lowing item, which appeared in the Cody
Enterprise of Sept. 13:
Missing the mail at Red Lodge by the
stage people is getting to be too fire.
quent. Surely the flying coach could
wait few minutes when the train is de
layed.
This is an unwarranted slur in the di
rcction of ]. 4. Virtue, the proprietor Of
the Red Lodge Mceteetsc stage line. Il
the Enterprise had investigated the mat
ter little it would have seen how fool
sh such a kick sounds. But it is very
plainly dictated by personal malice and
that kind of an attack is never the result
of careful investigation, but it is the
utilization of the first pretext presented
for the venting of a little spleen.
For the information Of all parties in
terested and in justice to Mr.. Virtue,
The Picket would say that the stage
runs on a regular time card just the
same as any railroad. It is scheduled to
leave here at ? o'clock in the afternoon.
In order to reach the various destina
tions on time. the stage cannot afford TO
wait here for three or four hours in order
| to get from the train few exchanges
and canned editorials for the Cody En-
terprise. If the train is only a few min
utes late the stage always waits for the
mail therefrom. But there have been
one or two instances Of late where the
Rocky Fork train failed to arrive here
until about ) o'clock. The Enterprise
doubtless refers to these cases.
In addition to all this, if Mr.. Virtue
fails to start the stage from Red Lodge
with whatever mail there may be in the
postoffice here SO that the mail will get
through in time he is fined for each and
every delay by the government. Mr..
Virtue cannot afford to run the stage on
fines Just to please the Cody paper.
Therefore, The Picket would advise
the Enterprise, whenever it has kick
coming, to take it to the proper place,
which, in this case, would be the North
ern Pacific railroad.
