oId-Fashioned Novel HeroineS.

/ Observers OF current literature have

suspects that they were sturdy danes OF
masculine turn of mind. History records
that some OF them could fire gun and

way in which they rode long journeys on
horseback and made themselves at home

Universal Republican Apatt,,


Noting the complaints OF apathy simultaneously
emitted by the Republican leaders in various
parts Of the country, it will be recalled that the
Indifference which exists among the rank
and file OF the party quite ab marked before
and during the sitting of the Republican National
Convention in Philadelphia. There never was
political gathering more wooden and perfunctory
than that assemblage Of President makers Ex-

Presidential nomination upon unwilling and
protesting candidate. the delegates were alto

In Texas an employee of a railroad oom-

The Suppression of senator x.essn.

ton 20 support the regular party ticket
Mckinley. Roosevelt. and all. He allowed
his party fealty to overcome his eonscien-
ticus scrupies, and a list of appoin tments
was made for him. At the last moment,
however, it occurs 10 the Republican com
mittee that Mr. Mason. popular speaker
as he is. is not just the kind OF an orator
for this campaign. lie is a man of too
great sincerity, and, however much he
might be disposed to avoid the delicate
subjects upon which he has antagonized
his party. they would be forced to the
front in spite of him. He would be asked
by some impertinent felIow-citizea what
was his opinion on tho Administration
policy in Porto Rico and the Philippines,
whether he favored the carpetbag system
of government and the imposition of tariff
duties on the commerce between the
American mainland and our outlying ter
ritories. He would be asked his views On
the South African war, and the course " !
the Administration in ignoring the appeal
for friendly intervention in behalf Of the
Beers. And he would be certain to blurt ,
out so-1erhing about the cession Of ma
tional soil in Alaska to Great Britain. !
Mr.. Mason is too honest a man to delib- /
erately misrepresent his own sentiments. /
Even should he in good faith have modi- /
fed his views. and become a fairly good |
imperialist. his record for the past ;wo |
years and his arguments against tyranny
and in behalf OF liberty would rise like
Bsnquos ghost and would not down.
Il is wise in the Republican managers TO
retire Mr, Mason from the stump. He
would be boomerang. The heavy guns
would in this campaign prove more disas-
rously effective at the breech than at
he muzzle. William E. Mason. like
Thomas B. Reed. has properly no place
4 the present Republican programme.

Comes Into His Own.

The Bank OF Fergus County has
decided back to w. w. Dewitt the
residue OF that gentleman's property
which passed to the bank when Mr..
Dewitt assigned to b. W. Poole In
Septeml, Yer. 1893. At the time OF the
assignment Mr.. Dewitt had large
real estate holdings besides his per-
senal property and his stock Of gen
eral merchandise. Included In the
real estate was some of the best bus
mess and residence property Of Lew
istOwn and upwards OF a dozen
dwellings. also some ranches. Every
thing was finally purchased at as
signee's sale by the mortgages, the
Bank OF Fergus County, also the
principal creditors. Mr.. Dewitt was
the first one In Fergus county to be
caught in the panic of 1893 and his
failure brought CONSERVATION to
many creditors.
In the seven years since the assign
ment the property has been admins
tered by the bank and from time to
time parcels have been sold, the es-
tate having been so wisely handled
that still much IL left, and this Is
greatly enhanced In value. Last
week the bank sold to the Montana
Hard ware Co. the corner property
for years occupied by them and also
the warehouse property to the rear.
This sale very nearly cleared up the
indebtedness and the interest due
thereon TO the bank, and the remain
der, thirty-one lots, seven houses and
four ranches. has been sold BY the
bank to Mr.. Dewitt for $1,000.
Title rested absolutely in the bank.
and the honesty and generosity OF
Cashier Wright and the officers and
stockholders of that institution was
never more clearly displayed than In
deciding back to Mr.. Dewitt all the
property left for the balance of the
Indebtedness, as the property is worth
many times 3 1000.

en- having entrusted his business To
so reliable an institution.
