How do republicans expect
their famous elephant to advance

perity when, with Roosevelt on

Since General Funston con-
fessed that he did not swim the
RIO Grande river, April 26. 1899,
but that two other men swan it
while he went across on a raft,

books and given up her attempt

We congratulate Bro. Sweet,
Of the Challis MESSENGER, upon
the installation of new power
press and a gasoline engine to
run it with. 1t is a great relief
to lay aside the old Washington
hand press-''man-k killer" it has
been called, and let the engine
do the work in one-fourth of the
time.-Salmon Recorder.
Abbott, who runs the Sal
mon Growler ithe Herald), says
that we were too busy last week
to notice him. 1t is really too
bad if this little midget in brain,
as well as statue, has imagined
that he has said something real
cunning and it has not been not
iced. The Herald is of so little i'm
portance that we seldom pay any
attention to its childish whimp-
erings. Our time is too valuable
to heed its snarls.

covered that the steel trust hasad
ded 81 to the price of every plow

by fifty per cent the cost of the
barn he builds, that the twint
trust is taking robber toll from
his wheat crop. Yet, Mr.. ranch
ers of Custer county, it is an un
disputed fact and we defy repub
licans to deny it, four-fifths Of
all the various trusts have beer
organized and fostered under re
publican administrations.

! This is the deer that Joe says
was killed last winter up neal
Bayhorse for the doctor by an
Italian. The story was told
but we cannot vouch for the truth
of it-that on sight of the big
pride of the forest (the deer), the

who was near by, saw the condi.

and dispatched the animal. This
