compelled to place $50 100000. OF her

statement, because for weeks past

But assuming that al the above

fering better inducements for the
Investment of capital than America,
for it is certain our people would
not leave one-haf a billion dollars
over there if it wasn't drawing IN

could be had at home.
The above is sad commentary
on the alleged prosperity that the
republicans say is so prevalent in

eve TOLD YOU so"

The EXAMINER repeats this old
time saying, because little clrcum-
stance came to light this week, that
justities us in saying it.
Last winter it will be recalled by
our readers, we took occasion to
mention the fact, that the publica-
ton of an estray notice in paper
that was NOT the nearest to where
the estray had been taken up, would
invalidate the sale and cause some
one to get mixed up In unnecessary
trouble. Well, the expected has
happened. Last week suit was
tried at Dingle in which an animal
that had been taken and sold as an
estray, was at stake. The former
owner commended that the notice
had not been published in the EXAM
INER, but in the Post, and he prov
ed by witnesses that the EXAMINER
was the nearest paper published to
where the estray was taken up.
The taker up of the estray admitted
that the EXAMINER was the nearest
but thought it made no difference
as to publication.
The judge held the sale to be void,
and now the man who purchased
the estray is looking for some one
who will refund him something
like $50 that he has been out on the
deal.
All Of this goes to prove what the
EXAMINER said, last winter, would
happen if the law was not strictly
lived up to. No one can violate the
plain provisions Of the law without
sooner OF later getting into trouble,
and this applies with equal force to
officers as we'll as to citizens in
private life.

Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1900-08-17

The man who says that the trusts
are not detriment ought to look
at Wyoming. It has hundreds of
thousands of oil lands, capable of
producing as much of this article as
Pennsylvania and OHIO combined,
and yet there is not refinery in the
state. Not one of the hundreds of
flowing wells there IS allowed to
ship single barrel Of petroleum
for outside markets, and yet it is
the best oil, III many ways, ever
discovered. Why is this? Here's
the answer: Some years agoa local
oil man asked for carload rates over
the Northwestern line from Casper
east. The rate quoted was 1886 a
car. He worked long and feryent-
" to have better rate given, but
to no avail. The Standard oil COM
pany exercised their influence, and
the Casper man was shut out. As
result Wyoming today, an I'M
developed empire within ITSELF, lies
dormant, because local attempts to
develop the state are throttled by a
gigantic trust. What is said of oil
lis applicable to numerous other re-
sources of the state.
No wonder the people of that
state and elsewhere are focking to
the man that offers them some re.
lief. That man is w. J. Bryan.

Only Partly Right.

The Topeka Daily Journal OF
the 26th inst. gave an account
of the crooked doings of FL. III.
Tracy, formerly a clerk in the o.
S. pension office at Topeka. In
some measure the account is
correct. Tracy, although pos
sessing unusual ability as a ste
nographer and penman, possess
ed also an overdrawn opinion of
himself as a pretty boy and
for several years past has been
posing as one of the high flyers
of that city of notorious shams
and corruptness. His own father
and others connected with the
family, have made every effort
possible to have him make a man
of himself, but apparently with
out avail. Early in November
he threw up his position as pri-
vate secretary to Pension Agent
Leland, and, after borrowing
from numerous friends, LETT
Topeka for parts unknown, leav-
ing his wife and three small chill
dren practically unprovided for.
although he has drawn from
$11O to $125 a month salary fol
the last six Or eight years. In at
tempting to fly high as a dude
and a masher, he has fallen tC
the lowest level-that of q con
temptible sneak and cowardly de
faulter. That he is connected by
marriage to an honored and re-
spected family of this city is nc
reason why we should not thus
brand his acts of profiigacy
treachery and deceit as those O
one whose soul is lost to decency
and whose future can be but 6
dreary blank. Only expressions
of sympathy and respect are
uttered for his faithful wife and
innocent little ones, who are IL
no wise responsible for his down

Item Editor Assaulted.

At O'Clock this afternoon while the
Item editor was talking to Mr.. S. A.
Shepard, on Main street. A. G.. Fair
came up from behind and without
warning began to strike. He succeeded
in landing couple of slaps on the
ace of the editor and then appear ed
to be fully satisfied as far as we are
concerned. The affair was caused by
a local appearing in Mondays Item
mentioning the arrest of A. G. Fair In
The local merely stated a matter of
public record which can be seen on
the record Of the police judge, and to
which charge Mr.. Fair plead guilty and
paid his fine without standing trial.
The Item gave the news without fear
or favor and has nothing to apologize
| for. If the Item slandered MIR. Fair
the police court did the same and this
| is certainly not tho case or he would
not have plead guilty.
After assaulting the editor Mr.. Fail
proceeded forthwith to the police court
and without a charge being made
against him plead guilty to assault
and paid fine of SIS rs. which is sell
confession of an unwarranted assault.
The other city papers have made SINH
lar statements to what the Item did
| and if Mr.. Fair wants more nOtOriety
| for his unseemlY conduct he is in fail
| way to get it.-Daily Item, Nov. Oath
Further comment is hardly neces
sary. Everyone who knows the two
men. and the circumstances, hav,
nothing but words of condemnation
| for one who will thus make bruta
| attack. One wrong will not make
another wrong right, and even th'
blood of Christ will hardly wash AVA
| the stains on such soul.

THE activity of the real estate

The activity of the real estate
market, in this locality, is the
best evidence of the faith of our
people in Barton county and her
future. Most of the farm lands
that have changed ownership
have been sold at the highest
prices known for many years.
But they have not been boom
prices-not fictitious values put
on by a "boom" excitement, as
was the case some years ago.
We want to say, for the especial
benefit Of young men who antici-
pate the need OF a home, that
right now is the time to secure
such home, when prices are not
above real values. This advice
is given not particularly to town
men, but applies as well to young
men who desire to follow farm
ing. Town property will advance
in value as country property adj
vances; If it goes ahead of farm
property it will be because of an
unhealthy and unsafe ''boom. .
But thus far activity in town
real estate has been but the re.
fex of activity in farm realty.

Appreciated Her Virtues,

"Pooh," said a man in an omnibus,
as be and other business men were on
their way to the city, ''ny wife is the
most, methodical, careful, neat woman
you ever saw 1t is all nonsense for a
woman to let a house run into dis
orderly ways. You ought to see how
my wife does things"
"Well. of course that is all very well
in theory" responded another; ''but
the best housekeeper gets behind, or
something, sometimes"
'sMy wife never does. She is al
ways the same. She keeps everything
in first class order"
''She must be remarkable person.
said another man. "How long have
you been married."
TEN years. And she has never
disappointed me. Why. gentlemen,
she always puts everything in the same
place and you know just where to find
what you want. For instance, l went
to my handkerchief drawer this morn.
ing before daylight. and took out a
handkerchief and put it in my pocket
before starting out, and 1 know just
as well as l know my own name that
that handkerchief is just a size. and has
my initials worked on one corner"
And the boastful man put his hand
in his Pocket and pulled out-and I'M
folded-a white nightcap. with long
strings dangling from it.

The Franklin Dispensary.

The State of Virginia has received
it's first dividend from the dispensary
chartered by the last Legislature.
The bar is established in the town of
Franklin, Southampton county, and a
check for $3.50 was received by Auditor
Marye as the States share in the pro.
fits of liquor sold, and the assurance
was given that the State share would
have been more but for the paying for
the stock of wines and liquors on hand.
The law provides for dispensary for
the sale of liquors in Franklin. 1t is
controlled by a board of three men,
chosen by the council, and they employ
a manager at $50 per month. Whisky
and other spirits are sold in packages
only, the smallest being half pint, and
it cannot be drunk within ten feet of
the dispensary. There can be no en-
trance except the front door, and it is
kept open from sunrise to sunset.
The State OF Virginia gets one
fourths of the profits, and three eights
goes to the town of Franklin for gen.
eral purposes, and three-eights for
school purposes. The check received
indicates a profit of $500 in 6 months
after paying in full for the stock on
hand. which Is fairly good record for
Franklin. The law provides that nc
LIQUOR shall be sold to an habitual
drunkard.
