WHAT ADVERTISING CAN DO.
How Two Fortunes Were Made In the
United States

In 1889 p. T. Rarnum, the great
Snowman, journeyed to the Pacific
coast to visit relative. On his way
back east he stopped at Kansas City
to see the great Barnum & Bailey show
that was then exhibiting in that city.
The then press agent of the Barnum &
Bailey show, Bert Davis, introduced
to Mr.. Barnum the editors of the local
dailies at the formers hotel. In the
course of the conversation which nat
urally followed Mr.. Barnum said:
"Gentlemen, Mr.. Bailey tells me that
my presence at the performance of the
Barnum & Bailey circus is worth SIS, 900
a day to the show. If this is true, it is
my name that is so valuable. It is
known in every town, city and hamlet;
it has become household word
throughout the country. Now, gentle
men, all of this was done by newspa-
pers, and if advertising can make a
name worth $1,000 day, what is it
that advertising can't do?"
Before Peats, the wall paper man,
died in 1902 he was at the head of a
mammoth paper concern doing a bust
ness of SIS, 900, 900 year. Yet in 1891
Peats was running small establish
ment for the sale of wall paper to the
retail trade on Madison street, Chi
cago. What was the secret of his
wonderful advance in the wall paper
business in comparatively so short a
while? 1t was advertising.
A newspaper man in 1892 induced
him to experiment with printers ink.
The result was profitable. Peats
didn't see that he could have too much
of good thing, so he increased his

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE
Henry Watterson's Courier. Journal

During Three Decades the Louisville

and conspicuously before the public as
the representative of the great common
atty of the people against both Robber
Baron, seeking through the accretion
OF ill-got money to steal away the peo-
pies liberty by stealing away their
franchise rights, and the ready-too1 of
the Robber Baron, the bandit politi-
clan, masquerading as Statesman
and patriot the better to serve the
ends of his master. In fulfilling this
high function it has sometimes had to
go fast and sometimes to go slow, some
times to cry ''oward,' and sometimes
to cry ''halt," sometimes to drive at
the root of things, and sometimes to
drive ahead; but never changing the
direction of it's movement and al
ways true to the underlying principle
OF it's being, expressed by the simple

The following Helena dispatch under
date of the end instance will be read
with considerable interest by eastern
Montanas, for the person in question at
one time was a practicing physician
of Miles City and was we'll known in
this part of the state: Doctor 6. B.
Lebcher, of Plains, was acquitted last
night by jury in the federal court on
the charge of selling whisky to In
dams. Agent Smead, of the Flathead
reservation, was on the stand yester-
day, and while he admitted that he
had no previous acquaintance with the
defendant, he testified that he knew
his reputation was bad. John Thomas,
| an old resident of Plains of twenty
years, said that Doctor Lebcher's rep
| utation in the community for truth,
integrity and varacity was good. It
appeared from the evidence that the
real culprit in the case who was gull
ty of selling whisky to the Indians was
one James Scott, who conducted a
saloon in the rear of the place con-
Quoted by Doctor Lebcher. Scott left
Plains as soon as q charge was made.
The Indians who testified in the case
contradicted themselves to such an ex-
tent that the jury could place no Gre
dence in their testimony. While pre-
tending to be ignorant of the English
every one of them could understand the
language plainly. Odell Mcconnell
conducted the defense.

BY a deal that was concluded at
Rosebud yesterday, J. E. Edwards
came into possession of the Jas. Simp-
son ranch on the north side opposite
that place. This is considered one OF
the best ranch properties in this par,
of the state and Mr.. Edwards is fortu-
nate in securing it. The purchase
price is not definitely known, but as
Mr.. Simpson has maintained that not
less than s., 500 is the least for which
he would part with it, it is supposed
that about that amount closed the deal.
According to the provisions of the
state fair law which was enacted at
the last regular session Of the legisla-
ture Rosebud county is entitled to a
commissioner to look after the county's
interests in the affair. The appoint
ment will probably be made by the
county commissioners at their meeting

is willing to accept the job, which en-
tails considerable work without any

q. G. Carroll, the prominent and
extensive stockgrower of Kirby, &C
companied by J. T. Young of that
place and c. B. Austin of Sheridan,
Wyo., was in town Tuesday en- route
to the Little Missouri river country,
where Mr.. Carroll hopes to find range
conditions favorable enough to warrant
the removal of his cattle from their
present range in the southern part Of
this move necessary owing to his pres
ent range being so monopolized by
Wyoming stockgrowers, who, in order
to preserve their pastures over the line
for winter use, infringe upon the rights
of the Montana ranchmen in the Kirby
section. Mr.. Carroll states that unless
something is done soon to put stop to
this infringement on the part of the
Wyoming growers many of the ranch
ers in the southern part of the county
will be compelled to ''pull up stakes"
and migrate elsewhere. He says that
