What Bryan Stands For.

| WASHINGToN, ID. c., Sept. 10, 1900.
Curbstone political arguments are often
times Improbable, but at the same time
gems of thought sometimes are heard in
these same discussions that are well
worth recording and setting before the
American people. Tell me what
Bryan stands for" | heard a man in
all outside town say to a Bryanite who
was trying to make some impression
upon a small crowd who We're listening.
1t is needless to say the question was
not answered. for any statement as to
what the Democratic candidate stands
for is almost sure to lie misleading, and
promptly denied by anyone arguing the
otherside
Four years ago BRYAN stood for free
silver: for practical destruction of the
| supreme Court: for the Chicago riots:
| for reduction of the tariff, which would
bring back the disastrous Democratic
times from 1893 to 1896. His careful
avoidance of such issues in his speech
of acceptance shows that BRYAN is a
shifty politician, and that he does not
stand for free silver as he did in 1896
but that he has taken up another cry
| which he thinks is popular. Bryan
does not stand for the same things now
that he stood for when the Kansas City
convention met, and a little brief inside
history of how the so-called ''imperial-
ISM was made the paramount ISSUE
will show how Bryan shifted his posi-
ton in order to catch what he thought
was a popular wave.
Everybody knows that Bryan forced
/ 16 to l in the Democratic platform
1t was by threatening to refuse the
! nomination unless it was specifically
declared. After the committee on
resolutions had by narrow margin,
inserted Ii to there was a threat that
a minority report would be made, and
the silver issue would be fought out on
the floor of the convention. 1t was
known that two-thirds of the conven-
/ ton did not want 16 to / mentioned,
and there was some fear that it might
be voted out. In order to avoid fight
IN the convention the Is to l men on
the committee of resolutions allowed
the opponents to draft the plank making
''lmperlallSm' the paramount ISSUE
I "liNt eiitte was uIlC way II CClllC W Dt lllG
leading feature of the platform as re-
ported. The delegates who were disap-
pointed in again having to face lG to /
took advantage of that declaration to
make violent demonstration which
seemed to give it prime Importance at the
Kansas City gathering. 1t was through
their effort to smother the silver ques-
ton and to exhibit their antipathy to
having l6 to | thrust uOOn them that
they made so much of the paramount
! ISSUE
Now Bryan takes this more seriously
than was warranted by the facts, and
so he has shifted his position to an issue
which the anti-silver men on the plat
form committee made, and instead of
having the reputation for a sturdy and
stanch advocate of the old principles he
is now posing as the leading ''anti-
imperialist" in the country And so
the query, what does Bryan stand for??"
cannot be answered satisfactorily by

testimony Of NJ. Pisha.

testimony of NJ. Pisha.
VIM. Klinefelter was next called to i'm
peach the testimony of M. Pisha, but his
testimony was not taken, as Mr.. Newton
positively refused to agree to further
taking Of testimony. This was about 20
minutes of six. The defense then asked
that the records show that they desired
to introduce evidence from VIM. Kline
felter, A. Hilliard, Vim. Walton, and r..
]. Turner; and further, that defense ten
dered at that time all fees and asked
that the testimony taken be transcribed
and submitted to the supreme court at
once.
The prosecution contends that the SUI
preme court should compel witnesses
they have subpoenied to attend and tes-
tify. 1t is claimed by some that the
court would have no power to do this as
the case was not sent up from any dis
triet court. John Riessbeck, John Leask,

RECENTLY a 2-column article
appeared in the St. Paul Globe
regarding the wonderful petrified
corpse" which was exhibited in
Dickinson last month. The writ
er attempted to prove it to be
that of Gen. Thomas Francis
Meagher, the Irish hero, who was
supposed to have been drowned
in the vicinity of Fort Burton,
Mont, in June, 1867. The New
York World of two weeks ago al
so had a write-up of the petri6ed
man and attempted to make the
facts of Gen. Meagher's death fit
into the story told of the finding
of the supposed freak on the
banks of the Missouri. In speak
ing of the World article, a Mon
tana paper, the Miles City Journ
al, considers the petrifed man
story as the colossal fake of the
season. 1t is not disputed that,
under certain conditions, animal
matter will petrify, but the pro-
cess of petrifaction is believed tc
require centuries of time.

STARKWlLE NEWS.
Jan. nth, 1900.

Jdu. lltLS ASOO.
The latest news comes from Stark
vile, N. D., a name we gave it ourselves.
1t was named after MI. Stark, he being
the first settler in the county as near as
l can find out. Now there is a nice little
booming settlement of us up here in the
southwest corner of North Dakota. We
can look around and see three different
states; and we live on a beautiful place
on the Little Missouri river. Our coun-
try can't be beat for stock raising pur-
poses. We are not piggish; there is lots
Of room for more settlers, and we would
like to see them come in. l will do all
l can to find them a good place.
Oh; yes; we were all down to Mr..
Stark's, the II ranch, on New Years day,
and had one of the best of times and
such a good dinner. One of our neigh
bors was along and to begin 1900 with,
he bought a nice team and two saddle
horses from Mr.. Stark. He had about
o head to pick from. Mr.. Stark is
manager Of the II horse outfit and he
told us that he would sell horses in num-
bers anywhere from l to 100 in a bunch.
The boys in this n%eighborhood are
catching a number of wolves and coy
otes this winter. Two boys passed here
lately with 37o wolf and coyote hides.
They had been out three months.
We feel certain now that our settle
ment will have a postoffce and mail
route soon. The office is to be at Mr..
Clark Green's house, Mrs. Green Post
mistress.
Settlers are moving in slowly. Two
horsemen are here and intend tt. locate.
They are from Montana.
We have only two large GOV outfits
left hear us, the Y T and c Y.
We are having one of the finest win
tiers in the land, no snow and cattle are
all looking fat. l must tell your readers
what luck our folks had on the first day

The latest X Ray Invention

Is the Endoscope, which is for the pur-
pose of examining the interior of the
stomach. 1t is claimed that with this
instrument, the treatment of stomach
troubles will be rcvolutionized, as it To-
Gates the cause of the disease. With
due respect to science, however, would
state that the causes of stomach troubles
have been known for the past fifty years,
and likewise their cure, which is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine that
has many imitators, but no equals. 1t
cures dyspepsia, indigestion, b%iliousness,
constipation, nervousness, insomnia. 1t
also prevents malaria, fever and ague,
and keeps the bowels regular. When
lot feeling right. take a dose. 1t is the
standard medicine of the American PEG,

DiSbarment Proceedings.
Star Witnesses Pisha and Dennist0n
lmpeaChed.

Referee Harry Edwards of Fargo ar
rived Monday and began to take testi-
mony in the disbarment proceedings
against Attorney l.. A. Simpson on Tues
day. Geo. Newton, also of Fargo, who
has charge of the prosecution, came in
Sunday.
1t had been previously reported that
the prosecutors in this action had dozens
of charges to bring against the defend
ant, but when the case was opened it de-
veloped that the charges were wholly
based upon the injunctional proceedings
of a few years since.
M. Pisha was on the stand Tuesday
forenoon and afternoon and attempted
to establish the fact that liquid drink
dispensers, of which number he admit
ted being a member, had paid defendant
money for protection. He swore pos
itively that he had paid certain sums to
defendant, but when Attorneys Gregory
and Simpson had finished their cross
examination he was in a pretty tangle,
having been made to impeach himself.
Clerk Of Court Saunders was called
Wednesday morning for the purpose of
showing that injunction papers had not
been filed in his Office which the prose-
cution claimed should have been done.
This was not denied by the defense,
but it was claimed by them that there
was no law in the state requiringa states
attorney to record papers in such cases
where action was pending unless re-
quested SO to do by defendant.
w. T. Denniston was called Wednes-
day afternoon for the purpose of showing
that he was the instigator of the action
brought against Mr.. Simpson When
he got under the cross fire of the defense
he was shown up in his true light and
made to appear very small and positive.
ly ridiculous. He admitted that he was
allowed to step into Mr.. Simpsons law
office, where there was a we'll establish.
ed business, when the latter went to the
war; and after accepting this hospitality
he allowed the use of his name in the
action in question without any particular
grievance against Mr.. Simpson. He be
lieved that he took some papers from
Mr.. Simpsons office when he went ava,
but thought that he subsequently return
the same. He admitted that J. H. Fiele
and ]. G. Campbell had acted as counsel
and when questioned as to money tina
had been raised for retaining Mr.. New
ton and other expenses in the proceed
ings he admitted that these men had as
sisted in that also. The defense called
Sheriff J. w. Follis and ex.Sheriff P.
Pelissier, of Medora, to show that Den
niston could not be believed under oath
Thursday afternoon the prosecution
called their third witness, j.. Rozell o
Sentinel Butte. 1t was attempted to b.
proven by this witness that Mr.. Simpson
had offered him, Rozell, slonot to %testif,

A Story Of Judge Mattacks.


Henry Keyes Of Vermont was a life
long Democrat. Governor Mattacks-
or Judge Mattacks-was for q brief
period q Democrat also. After he got
to be a Judge he soon became a Wing.
While holding court at st. Johnsbury
he occupied a room at the leading ho-
tel, which, as was usual during court
time, was dull. Late at night Mr.
Reyes arrived and wanted a bed. The
landlord Informed him that every bed
in the house had tvs in it except the
n that was occupied by Judge Mat
tacks.
"Go up and tell him that Henry
Reyes wants to sleep with him."
The landlord went up, raped at the
judges door, and told him his errand.
"Henry Keyes," said the Judge half
asleep; "Henry Reyes Of Newbury?
Democrat? oh, yes, I've had it once.
Let him in."-San Francisco Argonaut.

A PRIESTS POSITION.

Bismarck Settler: The Mandan In
dependent has been interviewing many
of the citizens of that city on the ques-
ton of the illegal saloons, and finds not
a few who openly favor their continuance.
But the majority of the business men de-
cline to express an opinion. The clergy
seem to be unanimously on the side of
right and good morals. Rev. Father d.
V. Collins, the we'll known Catholic
priest, says:
81 firmly believe in the strict observ-
ance of the commandments of God, the
precepts of his church and the laws of
the state of North Dakota. l am always
and everywhere in favor Of law and or
der. With Christian charity towards all
and malice to none, l am absolutely con
vinced, that legality, like honesty, is not
only the best policy but the surest profit
in the end for all concerned"

Stealing u Steam Whistle.

A gentleman who has a steam mill
in Waldo, Mass, purchased a large
steam whistle, which he carried home
and placed on his MILL A number OF
boys conceived the idea of stealing
this whistle-"just for a lark" they
said. The owner, hearing of their
plan, remained in his mill all night.
Sixty pounds of steam was kept up.
About midnight the boys put in an
appearance and climbed upon tho roof
of the building. Just as one applied
a wrench to the whistle, Mr.. Sanborn
opened the throttle wide and there
went up into the Stiffness Of the night
such a screech as was never before
heard in Waldo. People jumped from
their beds in a fright and wondered
what was up. The boys tumbled off
the roof of that mill as though shot.
and departed as rapidly rs their legs
could carry them, while Mr.. Sanborn
fired gun after them to hasten their
retreat. The whistle is still on the
mill.

Oldest Native Of Illinois.

Mrs. Lucinda Arson, of Centralia,
ILL.,, is believed to be the oldest native
born citizen of Illinois. She was born
in the old village Of Kaskaskia in 1918.
and for eighty-seven consecutive years
has made her home in this state. In
the early days her father kept tavern
In Waterloo and there she met many
prominent men in the early history OF
the state. She was well acquainted
with Governor Ford, and when La
fayette toured the country she handed
him glass Of buttermilk Of her own
churning. Another claim to distinc-
ton is that she is distantly related by
marriage to "Old Anse," tho former
baseball celebrity. $500.
Mrs. Arson remembers that when
she was a girl there was constant dan
ger of violence at the hands Of the
Indians. One favOrite plan on the
part of the savages was to cover them
selves with bark and lie down on
woodpile until its unarmed owner had
come near enough to shoot. To pre-
vent the success of this scheme it was
the habit Of the early settlers to look
out the window each morning and
count the number of sticks in the
pile before venturing out of doors.
If extra sticks were discovered in the
counting few rife bullets wero usual
~ sufficient to dislodge the Indian.
Mrs. Arson has been widow for more
than fifty years, and is still in good
health.-Chicago Tribune.
