says.
At the annual meeting Of the
republican state executive COM
mittee here last week, plans
were perfected for the campaign.
Thus far it has been a very quiet
one, and there is not much pros
pect Of any excitement. The
state is safe republican; both
national and state tickets will
show good majorities. Under
the circumstances, no money will
be needed from national head
quarters. Neither will the state
be visited by many republican

ed to the national Committee

One Of the most drastic orders
ever issued by the government
for the protection Of the sew
eral tribes of Indians against
fraud and robbery, was promul-
gated today by Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior Ryan. The
order in question amends the
rules for the sale of inherited
Indian lands, SO as to require
that the proceeds to be derived
from their sale shall be placed
with the most covenient United
States depository to the credit Of
each heir in proper proportion,
subject to the check Of such
heirs or their recognized guar
dams, for amounts not exceed

SHOW THE TRUTH

Republicans, forecasttng events
from the September elections in Yer
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be overconfdent of. re-
suits Of the presidential election in
November.
There Is no doubt as to the fact. that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given great vote Of confidence, an
outpouring Of national affection and
trust, aside from a mere majority of
electoral votes.
A rebuke is deserved for the men
who so falsify facts and sentiments,
SO distort, prevaricate and invent, as
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt Is anything but the strong,
thoughtful, loyal American citizen
that he is.
The silly boeh about imperialism
and "militarism," the groundless iub-
dub as to fancied personal diotation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the peo-
pie in such manner as can never be
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear en- masse at
the polls in November, to show what
they think Of Theodore Roosevelt.

The Mere chants

A prominent farmer Of this
county in speaking of the fnan-
cial prospects Of this county at
the present time, remarked that
the. newspaper ought,to flourish,
as there never had been a time
in the twenty years he had lived
in the county when the farmers
would buy as many Of tie luxur-
les Of life as they would in the
next few months. 6 For many
years, !" said he, I've have been
buying land, always wanting the
next quarter, until we have all
the lands we can manage.
s Pianos, furniture, carriages,
extra fine clothes, flrs, and
scores Of other things that can
be gotten along without will be
bought this year. The good
crop will put nearly every farm
er in my section Of the county
out Of debt, and the most Of them
will have good round bank &C
counts to boot. / should think
your merchants would be falling
over themselves ia getting their
goods before the public. Plenty
Of farmers will buy a years sup
ply this fall, and money will be
more abundant than it has been
for ten years.

A Farmers Idea
OF Roosevelt

David Rankin has the credit
of being the most extensive in
dividual farmer in the United
States. He owns fourteen farms
in Missouri which contains about
$4,000 acres of land in all. He
personally supervises the opera
tions on all, aided by a resident
foreman. In summer..h he employs
as many as 700 hands in the field
and uses from 200 to $50 horses,
for the various divisions of farm
work. He raises corn by thous-
and-acre patches, and in a single
year has sold 5000 hogs and q
50Oscattle Of his own raising.
Mr.. Rankin stands six feet two
without his boots on weighs 1870
pounds, and began life as a poor
boy. He resides at Tarkio, Mo-,
in the vicinity Of his farm pro-
perry. He writes to Leslie's
Weekly:

a republican. I'm a republican

Acting Secretary. Ryan said
that heretofore the lands have

THE CAVE CREEK P. o.
Another Postmaster Has al Last Been
 Found.

There have been two recent post office changes in this territory. Jennie Paul has been appointed postmistress at Junction. Yavapai county, and Will liam NJ. Kitchens at Cave Creek. this county. This federal official honor has been going begging at Cave Creek for more than a year. It was put aside by the majority of the people living within the jurisdiction of the pcstoiiice until il was feared that the office would be lost to that community. Judge MCormicL hell tho DOstOffiCe down in the absence of anybody else until Cave Creek became a sort of a health resort. Among those who were attracted there by the rising fame Of that community was a young man by the name of Leo Davids. who was pre- vailed upon to accept the pOstofiice, it having been represented to him that it would be a light job. It was, but not light enough to delay the ravages Of consumption. He remained in charge of the office until he suddenly grew SC bad that he was obliged to leave for his home in the east. There had been no time to inform the de- partment of his movements, nor had he appointed a deputy.
 Judge Mccormick again took charge of the office without the authority of any other law than that of necessity. All the time he kept one eye on the affairs of the office and with the other he was on a constant lookout fer a successor whom he has at last found.

tice, and people have become SC accus- toned to the use of the adulteratel ar tiCle, that there are connOisseUrs who even prefer it in point of taste.
 There are three grades of the oil, all of which are practically pure, the grad ing being due to the strength. The olives are left on the tree till thorough ly ripened. and are then ground. The first grade, or virgin oil is that which comes from the pulp by gravity, with practically no pressing. The second grade is the oil secured by pressing the pulp. and the third grade results frcnl a subsequent treatment of the same pulp by re-pressing after the addition of a little water.
 MT Livermore says that couple of wears ago he was visited here by Q New York importer who buys a great dea! of oil in Italy. He prCfesSed to be Q good judge of it, but after tasting some that Mir. ,Livermore had made he ac- EnowIedged that it was the first time in his life that he ever tasted the real article. though he had imported much that was supposed to be absolutely pure.
 Dr. LivermCre also brought to the board of trade rooms yesterday some samples of two varieties of olives which Secretary Van der Veer at once pre- served for exhibition at St. Louis. One variety is the Pendaulier and the other ie the Columella.

curio collector, inspired with the fear that he might bid on the schnaaps and compel the clique to give up more than it usually did.
 The committee went alongside the hook -nosed man and asked in whis- per if he intended to make a bid. He was just smacking his lips over fifth glass of gin. He wini.ed knowingly all his commercial curiosity aroused by tEe strange manner of the com mittee and intimated that he might do so.
 The committee thereupon said, with much solemnity, that it would be to the financial advantage of the curio collector if he refrained from bidding. Fifty dollars the committee said, would be about the figure.
 The curio man arose to the occasion. He remarked with the air of a connois- seur that the schnaaDs was of very superior kind and that he really could not think of letting his chance to ac- quire part of it go for so small a sum- Then he drank some more.
 The committee came alongside again and suggested $75. The curio man said "Thash mere bagatellsh!" and sur rounded another glass.
 The committee had only a few more minutes to strike 2 bargain and des- perately muvmured: One hundred" The curio nan said Or made an effort to say that under the circumstances he would accept and the committee suggested that the payment would be made after the sale.
 The curio man claimed that it was a question of cash in hand or he would buy the whole lot of schnapps. The committee in apparent fright handed over the money, and the curiO man, af- ter a last draught, departed to tell the story 10 his friends.-New York Sun.
