Wanted, a Liar

81 will have suit made of this material if
you will guarantee to me that the goods are
imported"
We had no proof other than the ticket
being marked Imported, which is no proof
at all, SO informed the gentleman that Aneri-
can manufacturers are now producing the
best wooden goods made in the world, also the
highest priced goods are now made in Amer
lea. We have a great many pieces that We
know are imported, but they are no better
and in many cases not as good as the Amer
lean. Come AID see the best goods made in
the world. The sheep are raised on Ameri-
can soil. The wool is grown on American
sheep. The sheep are sheared by Americans.
The wool is manufactured into goods by
American manufacturers. The goods are
sold to US by American jobbers. Our cloth
is made into suits by American tailors, and
are sold to YOU by an American citizen, and
We are proud Of it.

zens of Wichita will receive them with a
cordial welcome

River Press: Dutch Patrick" on
Saturday made a trade with John
III. Green and Malcolm Morrow for
q head of broken saddle horses and
will start for Canada with them inn
mediately. Mr.. Patrick would have
made a larger purchase had the ami
mails been available, but they were
scattered over the range and could
not easily be gathered at this season
Of the year. 1t Is rumored that they
will be used as mounts for the Cana
dian contingent for South Africa.
Dillon Examiner: The editor
makes many enemies. He also
makes many friends, and good ones,
too. A little squib, aimed at no one
In particular, will hit some hollow
headed Individual on a sore spot and
he at once declares himself 'agin' the
paper. The paper may have given
him many complimentary notices,
but the Imaginary thrust puts him
on his dignity and he establishes
himself u critic, but hasn't nerve
enough to go to the editor with his
supposed grievance. Just notice and
you will see that the men that are
'agin' their home paper are, as a
rule, men who would not be missed
II they should leave the community
forever. On every question OF local
interest the home paper stands to
make a fight for the best interests OF
the town.
Charley Baylies has been busy dur
ing the past week making improve
ments in the p%ostotfice to facilitate
the handling of the mail and a peep
behind the scenes" Is all that Ia nec-
essary to impress one with the utili-
ty of the changes made and of the
growth Of the business Of this office
In the past few years. MIR. Baylies
has had iron frames constructed
from which the sacks hang open at
full length. Over each sack thename
OF the town or ''way' Is lettered SO
that mail can be thrown right into
the sack without being sorted and
handled over go often. This will
greatly facilitate matters and prove
an advantage to the post Office force
and the public alike.

He went out Of sight behind the COW
barn and nothing more was thought
OF him until about 0 o'clock or half
past 8, when one OF the men had to
go to the barn for something. This
man noticed the stranger, seemingly
standing In n corner outside Of the
stable, and when he did not move,
went up to him, only to find that he
was dead and hanging by the neck
from n cross-bar that extends out
from the barn. He had taken a
rope from one Of the COW managers

Inter Mountain: The output OF
gold from the Black Hills during 1899
was 80, l31, 1856, almost double the
output for 1895. This places South
Dakota a closecompetitor for second
place among the goldproducingstates
of the Union. This tremendous in
crease is not due to new discoveries,
but to the fact that cheaper methods
OF treating the enormous bodies OF
low grade ore In the Black Hills have
been discovered. When the same
methods ire employed In Montana
the gold output OF this state will be
quadrupled.
