asked many simple questions.
 As for the fence-posts, my friend speaks of in your paper, will say as he knows something about the third post. So 1 did all 1 could to find out how long the third post would last. The best information, I could obtain on the subject was from an old man. suppose he was 80 or 90 years old. He said the posts they use in Texas were everlast- ing. He also hoped that the county seat ring, that had been bursted would never be able to reorganize until the third post was gone. (Of course, there are no such rings in Arkansas.) The people broke up one here last Saturday at the primary. Of course, they were only partly successful. 1 hope this will sat isfy my friend at DeView. 1.-The will come out here, he can see for himself; see the pretty crops and country. You can't find prettier women anywhere than here. Yours truly,

TAX ON BABIES.

Extreme hot weather is a great tax upon the digestive power of babies; when puny and feeble they should be given few doses of Whites Cream Vermifuge, the childrens' tonic. It will stimulate and facilitate the di- gestion of their food, so that they soon become strong, healthy and active. 25c at Dr. J. B. Neal.

The above is a poem Wilder Kyle & Co.,, had the News to print on some cards. If every one will take heed thereto this world will be far better. There is nothing so distasteful to sister Nancy than one of these things, whether it wears pants or what not, that is all the time going around telling evil things about people true or false. What good they intend with such tales God almighty cannot divine, But tell everything, they must. While the old lady Nancy does not give continental about the remarks of such people concern ing herself, yet for the sake of humanity and the good of the race, people should ask them selves these questions, is it true or false? If it is true, what good will l or onyone else derive from telling these things? If no good can come from it, bad is the only chance. Let us turn the search light of true inspection on our own hearts and see how we stand. If the people will study and appropriate the poem to their daily conduct, Wilder Kyle & Co.,, will have done more good for this community than ten thousand tell slanderers will do, if they live until the roll of eternal ages ceases. Our sa- loon men deserve a great deal of credit for the manner in which they are managing their saloon this year. 1t is a hundred per cent improvement on last years management. Some of these tatlers will no doubt say, well Miss Nancy has an ax to grind. " For the benefit of such, we will say that we are looking the sub ject right in the face from aliber- al standpoint unbiased and un- prejudiced and whatever we say or write comes from free man and not a slave.

THREE FOOLS.

There was once a business man who failt To win the longed-for prize Of riches and prosperity,
 He did not advertise. There was a lover once who died Quite wretched, I suppose, Because all through life he was
 Too bashful to propose. There was another man whose ways His neighbors greatly pained, Because he didn't know enough
 To go in when it rained. All three were fools, but worst of all, To everybody's eyes, Was he who was a business man,
 And did not adversise. FIX.

 But to talk Of those who sin, '1is better we commence at home,
 And from that point begin. We have no right to judge man,

WORK DONE IN ALASKA
GOOD SHOWING REPORTED BY
GEN. A. W. GREEDY,
Many Miles of Land Lines and SUBJ
marine Cables Have Been Built
and Operated.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The annual
report of Gen. A. ". Greedy, chief sig
nal officer of the army, says the corps
has actually built and put in working
order in Alaska 1921 miles of land
lines and submarine cables within a
period Of "a months. The accomplish
ment of such results, he says, would
be most creditable to officers and
men concerned therein if Alaska were
an ordinary country, for this work in.
cluded not only surveying, construc-
ton and installation of it's length of
line, but also involved the manufac-
ture and inspection of enormous
quantities of material, Instruments,
ETC., many hundred tons in weight,
and their transportation over dis
tances ranging from 1000 to 1000
miles.
When one considers, however, the
exceedingly difficult physical condi-
tons within the territory, he says,
the work must be considered as SIM
ply phenomenal, as in all parts of
Alaska traversed by this great length
of line there are not a dozen miles
of wagon road, and much Of the re-
gion is u~nexplored.
Of the work in the Philippines the
report says:
"The magnificent system Of tele-
graph lines and cables was very large
ly constructed and installed under Col.
Allen. This system, increased during
the fiscal year by 1900 miles, consist
ed on June 80, 1902, of 81 submarine
cables, 1926 miles in length, and
land lines 5,103 miles in length, MAX
ing an aggregate of 6,434 miles. 1t is
almost needless to say that the work
of construction and installation under
the disturbed and difficult conditions
existing in the archipelago demanded
talents of the highest order. The sys-
tenn stands today a monument to the
energy, skill and resourcefulness of
the American soldier"
General Greedy calls attention to
the necessity of a Pacific cable. Ow-
ing to the great pressure of work,
he says, not as much time has been
given to wireless telegraph tests as
he desired, but he reports that prog
ress has been made. He calls atten-
ton to the necessity for international
cable regulations and recommends
that the wal department be repre-
scented at the international telegraph
conference to be held in London next
year.

BANK ROBBED.
Burglars Blow Open Vaults and Get
$1,000 in Gold.

Marshfield, Wis, Nov. 5.-The State
bank of Greenwood, Wis, several
miles from here, was entered by burg
lars at an early hour today and S.
900 in gold was stolen. Five men
were implicated in the work. They
blew open two vaults with dynamite.
The noise of the explosion attracted
several citizens, including the cashier
of the bank, who happened to be on
the street at the time. AS soon as
the burglars were discovered a gun
fight ensued and several shots were
exchanged. No n was injured and
the robbers succeeded in making their
escape. The sheriff of Marion county
spread the news in every direction
and every effort will be made to cap
ture the robbers.

Helena, Nov. Ex-Governor joseph
X. Toole today issuer a Thanksgiving
proclamation in the course of which
he called upon the citizens of the
state to observe Thursday, November

The governors proclamation fol-

''The laws of the state authorize
the governor to appoint a day of
thanksgiving.
"The material interests of the state

Civic pride abounds and personal
and property rights are secure under
our constitution and laws.
"The occasion is, therefore, one for
general thanksgiving and sober re-
Election; for curbing unbridled
speech and intolerant conduct; for
charging the Of charity and
adding a new impulse to patriotism.
Therefore, l, Joseph K. Toole, gov
ernor of Montana, by virtue of the
power and authority in me vested, do
hereby designate and appoint Thurs
day, November 27, 1902, Thanksgiving
day, and l recommend that on that
day the people refrain from their
ordinary labors and devote themselves
to a conscientious observance of the
occasion.

unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state of Montana
to be affixed. Done at the city of Hell

ing for Missing Man.

Kalispell, Nov. 6.-Since yesterday
at 2 o'clock, during which time a
fierce storm has ragged in the noun
tains, and the valleys are obscure in
mist, Superintendent E. F. Egan of the
Kalispell division of the Great North
ern, wandered without protection, or
lay on some mountain side wounded
and perhaps is now frozen to death.
Yesterday Superintendent Egan, to-
gether with DR.. H. E. Houston, Roddy
Houston, Great Northern physician,
and perhaps another friend, left here
for Essex in the superintendent car.
On arrival at Essex they commenced
hunting, sending the car on to Bolton,
it being the intention to hunt across
the country. Since the time the par
ty separated there has not been a
sign Of Egan.
The Houstons arrived at Bolton and
thought little of the non-arrival of
Egan until several hours passed.
Finally they concluded Egan had tax
en- shelter somewhere, but made an
attempt in a small way to locate him.
When today opened there was a
stormy fog over the entire country.
During the night 10 to ii inches of
snow fell. Nothing could be seen or
heard of Egan. For some time, prob
ably to ward off the publicity regard
ing the disappearance of Egan, the
matter was kept quiet, other than
making small local endeavors to find
the missing man.
The day passed and now the mis-
take of not sounding an alarm was
realized, but almost nothing can be
done until morning. A relief party
go to Bolton tonight.
Superintendent Egan came to the
Kalispell division from Breckenridge,
Minnesota, relieving Superintendent
Bowen. The district where Egan dis
appeared is n of the most broken
and heavily timbered in the country,
and is a favorite hunting ground for
who go to Essex and hunt
to Bolton. If Egan was injured
and lay on the ground he will be COW
cred with snow and frozen to death,
and the probability of finding his body
before spring is slight. In the same
locality last June two lei we're lost,
and only found after a large party
searched for them. Conductor
Sweeney lost his life in making an
andeavor to get food and clothing to
them.

TRAIL FOUND AND LOST

Kalispell, Nov. THE search for
Superintendent Egan of the Great
Northern was continued this morn
ing with renewed vigor. A number
Of volunteers increased the party of
searchers until now over 100 men are
working, and will only cease their
search when darkness makes progress
impossible.
Every train east carries new men
into the field to relieve those who
have become o out by u hours
ceaseless climbing over fallen timber,
up mountains and through snow.
Sheriff Hand, who was out yesterd-
day, returned this morning and af-
ter a few hours rest again returned
to the hunt for the lost man. He said
that a trail was found yesterday,
which had the appearance of having
been made by a man, who would walk
for a time, then fall and rise again to
renew his vain effort to reach some
shelter.
At Half Moon Lake.
1t is now known positively that
Egan was last seen at, the north end
of Half Moon lake, where he separat-
ed from DR.. Houston. About three
miles northeast of that point a deer
vas found yesterday, which had evil
IDENTIFY been killed at least "a hours.
The throat vas slit, it seemed, with a
small knife.
About three miles north of the
point where the deer was found, the
trail spoken of was found. Egan had
been advised that should he get lost,
he was to follow his compass north,
and that he would come out on the
railroad at almost any point.
Between Coram and Belt the Great
Northern RUNS almost due north for a
number of miles. AS the trail found
takes that course, it is now thought
that the advice has proven fatal to
Egan.
He was dressed lightly for hunting,
carried a rifle, ammunition, pocket
compass and two sandwiches for
lunch. He changed clothing hurried

~ before leaving and is not supposed
to have had a match.
The excitement among railroad men
caused the first reports to state that
they had left the private car at Els
sex. Then they stated it was at
Coram. DR.. Houston, who was one Of
the party, places the point OF leaving
at the north end of the lake, five
miles between Coram and Bolton.
Separated from .Egan.
DR.: Houston says that they left his
brother at the upper end of that lake,
~1nstructing him to hunt close around.
He and Egan went on to Half Moon
lake. Here they separated, going on
each side Of the lake, later to meet
on the railroad track.
Not a living person has seen him.
and there is only a faint hope that he
is alive. The railroad people will
run another train to Bolton this af-
ternoon, which will take up another
large party of searchers. Hope of
finding him alive is now abandoned.
The heavy fall of snow last night will
make work difficult. In daylight it
is almost impossible to get through
the country without going down in
the snow.
A report just received is to the ef-
feet that a small blaze, cut in a tree
about 40 rods from where the deer
was found, has been discovered. It
is now thought that Egan made this
blaze on Tuesday night.
1t has been warmer and clearer to-
day, SO that the searchers can get
through the country better. Egan has
now been lost three days, during which
there has been no letup oil the
storm until this morning.
1t is said that Mrs. Egan, now in
Spokane, has been told for the first
of her husbands serious plight.
