Riding a Free Horse.
Knoxville Sentinel.)

1t is astonishing how the pub
lie looks on the newspaper as a
free horse to be ridden to death.
People will hire a hall, pay mon
ey for a band, for lights, janitor,
go to job printing Office and
buy thousands of dodgers, pay
boys to deliver them, pay per-
formers in the entertainment, if
they are professionals, or pay
some manager to get up the af-
fair and give him a large per-
centage of the receipts, pay all
their bills, in fact pay for every
thing and every kind of adver-
tising except that which is most
valuable to them, to-wit, news
paper advertising. And if the
newspaper is unwilling to devote
more notice to such entertain
ment than liberal news notices,
it comes in for much abuse. And
yet, why should not the newspa-
per charge for its advertising
space just as the owner of of the
hall charges for his rent, the bill
board man charges for the use of
his bill boards, the photographers
charge for furnishing the post
ers, the job printing Office charges
for the dodgers and the outside
parties charge for their services ?
The newspaper has only two
sources of revenue. One is sub
scriptions, the other advertising.
The subscriptions to newspapers
are so cheap that they little more
than pay the cost of the white
paper. A newspaper would soon
suspend if it did not realize con-
siderable revenue from it's adver-
tIsing columns. A newspaper
must print the news in order to
hold subscribers. To obtain this
news is q very expensive matter.
II must charge for any advertis-
ing matter in order to yield a
sufficient revenue for these pur-
poses.

No Cause for Alarm.

ment was aroused on the streets

port that Bert Ollinger, who re-
Gently came here from Princeton
to work in his brother Alps
barber shop, had small pox. He
was examined by physicians who
claim that the disease was really
a mild attack of small pox, and
was promptly isolated, the pa
tient and his brother being sent
to the pest house last night. We
feel that any alarm over the
spread of the disease is unnec-
essary, the doctors being inclined
to the opinion that the patient
had not arrived at the stage of
the disease where the contagion
could be disseminated. If it is
small pox, it is the only case
hereabouts and being isolated no
further danger need be appre-
hended. The board of health
will take every precaution to
stamp it out and no one need
feel any uneasiness whatrver in
coming to town.

Senator Patterson on Woman Sulfra &c.

Senator Patterson on Woman Suffrage.
United States Senator Patter-
son, of Colorado, in speaking of
woman suffrage, in that State,
says:
"What is the trouble with
woman suffrageP l remember
elections in the old times; ! re-
member seeing on one occasion
thirty-one young ladies in white
dresses and cheese-cloth sashes,
representing the thirty-One States
in the midst of a tremendous
crush. People are perfectly
willing that women should take
a share in the most frivolous and
objectionable part Of campaigns.
why object to their mingling in
the graver and more decorous
parts? Women with us do no
more than they do in other
States when a speaker Of renOwn
comes. Their presence adds TO
the decorum of public assem-
blies. ParlOr meetings have
now become among the most in
fiuential features Of the cam
paign in Denver. The women
who take time to vote lose none
of their wOmanly charm and are
none the less delightful because
they educate themselves that
they may be able to teach their
sons and daughters the various
phases of politics. The exercise
of the suffrage adds to their in
telligence, merit and worth.
sit is said that equal suffrage
would make family discord. In
Colorado, our divorce laws are
rather easy, though stricter than
in the neighboring States; but
since 1893, when suffrage was
granted, l have never heard of a
case where political differences
were alleged as a cause of di-
vorce or as a provoking cause of
family discord.
equal suffrage, in my judg-
hlent, broadens the minds of both
men and women. 1t has GER
tainly given us in Colorado can
didates of better character, and
a higher class of officials. 1t is
very true that husband and wife
frequently vote alike; as the
magnet draws the needle, they
go to the polls together. But
women are not coerced. If a
man were known to coerce his
wife's vote, ! believe he would
be ridden out of town on a rail,
with q coat of tar and feathers.
"Women's legal rights have
been improved in Colorado since
they obtained the ballot. There
are now no civil distinctions ex-
isting between men and women.
And equal suffrage tends to make
political affairs better, purer,
and more desirable for all who
take part in them"

covered the capClVe nau escapeu.
Spotted Tail and some of his
braves were soon in pursuit of
the fleeing girl, but she had near
ly FIVE hours start and had strug-
gled on and on in the darkness
over fallen trees, through tan
gled vines, saw briers and cactus
plants until her feet were bruis-
ed and bleeding and her tender
hands were torn.
Finally her strength gave out.
Human nature could endure no
more, and climbing to the top of
a small mound, she lay there ex-
hausted.
And thus they found her and
carried her back to the camp,
Spotted Tail saying, "Ugh! Heap
brave squaw. Make me good
wife"
Inez was once more placed in
the hands of the Indian women
and told If she made another at
tempt to escape, her life would
pay the penalty. The poor girl
was too thoroughly exhausted to
do anything but moan and bewail
her sad fate, but there was one
thought that filed her with ex-
Rltation and caused her tired
heart to accelerate its speed, and
that was, somewhere on the wide
plains of xexas Broncho Bill was
camping on her trail and that
sooner or later he would find and
rescue her or die in the attempt.
This sweet certainty was as dear
to her as the ruddy drops that
were then visiting her sad heart.
And thus things continued un-
til the night Of the fourth gay of
her captivity.
On the night in question about
the hour of midnight a silent fig
ure might have been seen, if it
had not been dark, stealing along
from tree to tree in the direction
Of the camp. In one hand he
carried a trusty Winchester and
in his belt was a Spanish stiletto.
As he neared the camp he whis-
tied a low, peculiar whistle some
thing between the call of wren
and the chirp of a cricket.
A small, shapely head in the
tent was quickly raised and held
In q listening position. then the
body was slowly and silently
withdrawn snake fashion until
she was clear of the tent.
Inez had not neglected to wrap
a bear skin around her slender
form in order to conceal the dia-
monds she wore.
AS she neared the edge of the
clearing manly form rose in
front of her and she was clasped
in the strong arms of Bronco
William, who bore her silently
and swiftly to the spot where
Brutus was tethered to a swing
ing limb, then taking the bear
skin robe from her dainty form
he cut it in pieces and wrapped
and tied them around the feet of
the noble steed, that the fall of
the hoofbeats might not fall on
the ever alert ears of the sleep
ing savages.
When the morning dawned
they were far. beyond the reach
of the relentless foe, and e'er the
sun had completed his course
from the Occident to the Orient
and was gliding adown the west
ern horizon, as was customary,
the happy pair rode up and drew
rein in front of the stately pile
of adobe in which Inez first saw
the light of day.
In reasonable length of time
their nuptials were. celebrated

ports, ave are going to close

the month" Is it not a wonder
that they don't become tired of
the same old falsehood, which
has been ringing in their ears for
over a year2
One of a family of three men,
who up to a year ago were happy
and prosperous, can now be seen
lettering along the railroad play
ing cards, ashamed to look his
former friends in the face, thus
plainly displaying grief and NOR
tification over his own conduct
of associating with a gang that
has brought poverty to his home.
Reports which have become
public property indicate that pay
and rations now issued out to the
U. NJ. W. have got very close to
the vanishing point. One young

work as he now does in three
weeks, which, if we are correct
ly informed, amounts to that
vast sum Of 81 per week, not
enough to pay for the yictuals he
eats. Yet such is life among the
U. N. WIS since new officials
took charge, and they dress in an
up to date style equal to that Of
a prince. Somebody has to pay
for the fine clothes.
I While down in Christian coun-
ty recently We met one of the
chief agitators, who seemed to be
in high spirits over what he con-
sidered the bright prospects for
the miners union. The cause Of
this joyful feeling seems to have
been that one or two of the ma
chine men at Empire had lately
been induced, under false rep
reservations of course, to quit
work, and by that means he hop
ed soon to see the mines close
down, but he failed te mention
the fact that Supt. Rutland can
find two good men to take the
place of every one that quits, if
he so desires. Strange indeed it
is how little it takes to cheer one
of those fellows up.
Nashville, Tenn, now has a
strike on its hands. The carpen-
tiers union has undertaken to
dictate terms which to their en-
ployers seemed offensive, so a
determined stand has been taken
against them, and war against
the union again declared.
One foreman said that one day
lately he had as many as six
union men at work for him, so it
does appear that even a dollar
per day is now an inducement to
those same fellows who when
working in the mines could have
made twice that amount, but
they say their guardian fails to
clothe them and they are forced
to degrade themselves by work
ing for living.
Heart breaking indeed it must
have been for the U. NJ. w. to
have learned that the st. Ber-
nard Mining Company still con-
tinues to declare their usual an
nual dividend in spite of the fact
that they have caused to be cir
culated the report that the mines
here have been closed down for
over a year. Such Knockout
drops is most likely the cause of
falling off in contributions.
Working people elsewhere wise
ly conclude that unmitigated Ii
ars are unworthy of further sup
port, and a slew process of starv-
alton has been decided upon.

GAME OF MIMIC WAR
NAVAL MANEUVERS TO ILLUS
TRATE COAST DEFENSE.
Strategical Plans To Defend the Coast
BY Land and Sea Against a Supposed
Naval Attack.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 21.-Plans for
naval maneuvers on the Pacific coast
involving a mock attack on one or
more of the seabOard cities by war
vessels under Admiral Caseys COM
mand, and the defense of the coast by
the army forces in California, Oregon
and Washington are under considera-
ton by the navy and war departments
No official announcement of the plans
has been made, put it is believed that
they will be carried out between now
and next October in much the same
manner as the war game" now in con-
temptation on the Atlantic coast
In the preparations for maneuvers on
a large scale, which it is intended to
hold some time in the future, Rear Ad-
miral Kempff was several weeks ago
assigned to a newly created coast de-
Tense district" extending from Puget
Sound to San Diego. His duty cores
ponds to that of Rear Admiral Cooper,
on the Atlantic coast, in that he will
nave charge of such dispatch boats and
naval scouts as may be employed for
the purpose of reporting to the mill
tary shore batteries the movements of
the attacking naval forces.
The Navy Department is devoting
most of it's attention just now to the
war game about to be played on the
eastern coast, and no definite state
ment in regard to the plans on the Pa
cific could be Obtained today.
The largest vessels available for the
maneuvers on the Pacific coast are the
battleships Oregon and Wisconsin, now
at Puget Sound, the cruiser Boston, at
Mare Island, the cruiser Philadelphia,
"as soon as herrrepairs are completed, -
the gunboat Michigan, on her way to
the coast, and the torpedo boat Farra-
gut, at Sausalito. The Adams, Con-
