His Last Hope Realized.

From the sentinel, Gebo, Mont
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encount-
cred much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat. gave him II very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he eX-
pected TO die. One day one OF his
neighbors brought him one small bot
tie OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope.
y big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect OF
the medicine was soon noticed; within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for a fortnight. That
one little bottle worked complete
cure. and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel disor
ders being at hand suggests this item.

that they could not operate their

cans at the prevailing wages of other
camps. In other departments Of
their vast enterprises they employ
hundreds Of American artizans at the
current wages Of the territory. Ac-
cording to the statements Of the su-

seems. would prefer to see the mines
closed down, every industry, includ-
Ing mining and farming, paral-
lied and the county plunged into
bankruptcy. rather than to see for
elm labor employed here.
And now as To the strike and the
men who were behind it. They did
not strike for an increase Of pay or for
shorter hours. Until the politicians
interfered they were content and hap
pv. Aud while as a class they are
aliens and speak a foreign language,
many Of them were born here and
have been working for the companies
since they were big enough to swing
n hammer. Their labor contributed
to make the district what it is. While
they have been peacefully at work III

awful strikes at Occur d'Alene, in

property interest destroyed, of the
bloody battles OF Bully Hill, of the
riots at Leadville, and many other
camps throughout the west, where
only American labor was employed
When you cut a mans wagas, be ne
American. Mexican or Italian, the re
suit is pretty much the same. In
this instance there was 10 cut by the
companies. and as above stated, the
miners did not strike for more pay OIL
shorter hours. 4 law was passed
creating an eight-hour day, and pre-
scribing heavy penalties for its viola
ton. This meant an increased ex
pense of twenty per cent. III mining
ores. The companies offered as
compromise nine hours pay for eight
hours work, but the men would moi
stand for this, as it was a cut of ter
per cent. on their wages, hence the
strike was inaugurated, not by the
wishes OF either the miners or the
companies, but by Legislative enact
ment. Had there been rapine and
bloOdshed as suggested by the Re
view. it would have been entirely due
to the political intermeddling with {
question which should at all times bt
settled between the men and thu
companies. An eight-hour law il
well enough i'll its way, but it shoult
allow man to work longer if he see
fit to do so, and is paid for it. Will
such law this strike would have
been avoided and many other com
panies throughout the territory which
have now shut down, would still b'
in operation.

Why Not Let the Police Do It?

The Mayors paper is author
ity for the statement that gam
bling has been suppressed il
Washburn. How about the pro-
fessional gamblers who are sti
running poker games unmolest.
ed? Isn't poker gambling?-
Washburn Times.
Yes, it is generally conceded
that poker playing is gam bling,
and if Mr. Jones or any other
person will furnish the evidence
to prove in court what is charged
in the above clipping the mayor
will see that the proper com
plant is made and. the district
attorney will no doubt see that
the case is prope rly prosecuted.
A little cooperation and less
criticism might help some
Washburn News.
There is an old saying that
runs: "Go tell your troubles to
a policeman" Those officers
are the proper persons to stop
all kinds of gambling. 1t is
claimed that they have orders not
to modest poker games. At least
it is the general impression that
they would suppress professional
poker playing if given free hand.
"Co-operation" and "criticism"
have nothing to do with the mat
ter. Private citizens are not
supposed to furnish theevidence
to prove" that evils exist. It is
the duty of the officials to sup
press all public forms of gamb-
ling. Evidently the police have
their orders as they have not
molested the professional poker
players. Slot machines, roulette,
craps, wheels of fortune and the
like have been suppressed to sat
isfy the public demand, but
poker still fOurishes.

TO LET CONTRACTS
Library Board Asks for Bids on
Building.
THE WORK WILL BE RUSHED
MANY Contractors are Figuring on the
Work, as There is Very Little Doing
In the Contract and Building
Line Just Now
THE WORK WILL BE RUSHED

The Library Board have adver-
tised for bids for the erection of
thenew library, and the contracts
for the building will be awarded
on the 10Th day ofOctober. It is
understood that there will be
numerous bidders, and it is ex-
pected that work will com mence
Immediately after the contracts
are let. A member of the library
board says that although late in
commencing the work that the
building will not suffer any in
consequence, and that the ex-
pense of building it will not be
increased, owing to the fact that
contractors and builders have
been very busy during the sum-
mer months and have not been
able to give close figures on work.
However most of the contracts
are now finished, and a number
of cont1 actors are anxious to
compete for the work. 1t is ex-
pected that a large amount of the
work will be done this fall.

Among the BowlePs.

Ii anyone ever ran away with
the idea that bowling would go
on the decline very soon they
must have reckoned without
consulting Colonel Arnold and
Sergeant off, whose alleys are
as we'll, if not better patronized
now, as ever they have bee n.
But during the past week there
has been an evident desire to get
up teams, and several of them
have been organized, which will
be heard from latter on. The
first big game of the season to
be played here was the return
game between Ashland and
Washburn, which occurred last
Thursday night. The boys seem
to have been ratified, as they did
not get their usual big scores,
and the large crowd that gath
cred at the Wolf alleys to see a
big game was somewhat disap-
pointed. The following is the
score of the game:

FOOLED THE BUNCH
A Washburn Lad Outwits IA Angry
FinlanderS.
GIVES THEM BOGUS CHECKS
Ebert FinStad, When Compelled to Issue
Checks at the Point of Knife Blades,
Makes Them Bogus, and Fin
ally Carries His Point.


Ebert Finstad, of this city, had
rather a wild experience, but
ool-headedness and presence of
mind brought him out victor in
a contest of wits with fourteen
Fins, on Otter Island, last Fri
day. Young Finstad is clerkefor
the Fowler Jacobs Company,
who are logging extensively on
the island. When pay day came
around Finstad issued pay
checks to fourteen of the crew at
the rate of thirty dollars a
month, which he claimed was
the amount agreed upon. The
men demanded that the checks
be made out for thirty-tive dol.
lars per month, and this Finstad
refused to do. The trouble
started Friday morning and in
the afternoon there was a good
sized insurrection in progress.
Two of the Fins finally waited on
Flnstad, and notified him that
unless new checks were made
out at the rate of thirty-five per
month they would kill him, and
produced knives with which
they threatened to end his exist
ence. Young F1nstad, who is a
boy of twenty years, took the
two hours allowed him, and at the
expiration of the time the an
gered Fins demanded that he set
tie with them at once. With
cool deliberation he made out
new checks at thirty-five dollars
per head, and the Fins took the
Barker to Bayfield,. Young
Finstad was on the boat with
them and at Bayfield, notified the
bank and merchants that the
checks were bogus, which fact
they could easily discover with
out being told, as the lad had
issued them in a manner that
would clearly indicate to any one
that they were worthless. The
crew then came to the Office of
the company in this city, and
Mr.. Jacobs called in a couple of
deputy sheriffs, and then pro-
ceeded to settle with them at the
rate of thirty dollars per month.
After a good deal of remons-
trance they finally took what
was coming to them and depart
ed. One of the most beligerent
of the Fins was locked up for a
while, but was finally released,
and the whole bunch of them
started out to look for new work.

And Still There is ''No Gambling"
The case of the State of Wis
consln against Tim. Keefe at
tracted considerable attention
the latter part of last week,
keefe having been arrested on
complaint Of 10 n Donahue,
charged with larceny. The
testimony was that Keefe was
backed by Mr.. Donahue in a
poker game. The game did not
materialize, but Keefe took the
money and kept it. Keefe was
tried before Judge Warden,
found guilty and sentenced to
pay a fine of SIS and costs or
serve sixty days in the county
jail. He took an appeal to the
circuit court and says that he
will be able to establish his in
nocence of the crime in the high
er court. The offence is alleged
to have occurred two weeks ago.
