out OF his cart. sat down on a stump.
and after a moments conversation his
eye caught sight OF the nag on the
sapling. He looked at It In a puz-
zled way, then asked what 1t was.
The men at first thought he wns

question was In good faith.

WINGED that the efficiency Of the fire
department would be much improved
by the selection of a chief who Is
capable of directing the men aud

much property Is at stake in time Of
fire to trust the management of the

the best fire protection Of any town

ATTACKS BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS.


The Voters Guide, alias Sentinel,
IN its issue Of the 4th, made an IN
just and uncallsd for attack upon
the Exchange National bank, the
William Howard Land & Lumber
company aud @. j. Shoemaker. Of
the Occur d'Alene Bank & Trust com
pany. 1t is not the province Of the
Press to defend these institutions
against any OF the ISLANDERS that come
from the hole-in-the ground under
the First National bank, because the
citizens of Occur d'Alene know who
inspired the attack and what the
motives are behind it. The people
also know that the tool whose name
appears at the head of the alias is a
most dispicable victim of those who
own his plant aud have a mortgage
on his soul, on his brain and on the
muscle that pushes the pen that
writes the slauIsers which are print
ed ia the sheet The slush runs from
his pen with the freedom that the
tilth of a city empties from the
mouth of a sevar and the sources of
the tRO are about the same. The
Press cares nothing for the political
phase ot the matter, which is olly
made au excuse by the alias for
attacking some of the best business
men, capitalists aud citizens OF the
town, mo1 who have in the short
space Of three years done more for
Occur d 'Alene than the Sentinel, its
editorial tool aud al who are con
nected with it as owu-r- or hackers
will accomplish during their natural
lives and if many Of the people who
are now giving them support do not
live to regret it We will miss our
