But Do They.

Tom Horn, the Wyoming murder
err, is the last william to go direct
from the gallows to heaven, there
to dwell through eternity with the
angels in the enjoyment of all the
happiness and peace that the Divine
book tells us awaits those who have
repented before 1t is forever too late.
1t is the custom these days to send
all the cut-throats and criminals of
his class To that heaven of pease,
where all good people arc supposed
to go, while the poor cuss who never
did any harm and lived strictly
moral life, must go the other way,
because he did not repent as does
the murderer. 1t seems to us that
if the preachers would let such fell
lows as Tom Horn go where they
belong and devote their energies to
saving people who would be more
.ompanionable in making up the in
habitants of the eternal city, their
efforts would not seem wasted on
desert air. There are many people
who would not care to associate with
the shade of Tom Horn in heaven
anv more than they would think of
associating with him in the body on
this earth. Alene Press.

No Passes Back.

An announcement affecting trans
portatlon of stockmen was made
Monday morning by the railroad
Offices, which Will bring grief to the
hearts and pockets of many a sheep
and cattle owner; and according to
all accounts the stockmen have only
themselves to blame.
Since the time when the memory
of the oldest residenter runneth not
to the contrary, it has been the GUS
tom of the railroads Of the western,
north western and southwestern coun-
try to give return as we'll as outgo-
ing passes to stockmen IN charge of
live stock in transit to market
points. But for some time the rail
road officials has suspected that not
a few stockmen had fallen into the
reprehensible way of selling return
passes to ticket brokers. That IS to
say, cattle men not DESTROYS OF re-
turning for some time would sell
the return coupons for lucre, and
thus beat the railroad companies out
of that much money.
Finally, the railroad men say, this
abuse became SO noticeable that the
passenger departments registered a
large and healthy remonstrance with
their freight departments, and now
comes the order that hereafter all
stockmen going out IN charge of live
stock will be given passes for the out
ward bound trip only. When they
return they must pay their fare the
same as anybody else to whom the
railroads are under no obligation
whatever. However, it is fair to
state that this is not the sole reason,
although it IS the main reason for
the new order.
