In Early Reese
River Days.

The Messiah craze through which the
west has passed revives memories OF
the Indian depredations in Nevada,
when from the Sierras to the Wasatch,
the only inhabitants were at the stations
Of the Pony express company. The
stations we're usually occupied by a
hostler only, whose duties were light as
they were lonesome, but demanded
prompt attention, as they were required
to have the pony ready for the passing
rider to mount without delay as soon as
he rode up, regardless of the hour, day or
night. Over the lonely stretch from
Valley to Reese River, was q station
known as Grubb's Wells, that was reach
ed, coming west, at midnight. On one
occasion. the pony rider, 1.-THE and agile
fellow named Reese Hawley, afterwards
known as crack whip on the overland
stage line, road up and found the place
10 silence and darkness. He had given
the usual piercing ki-yi before reaching
the station and expected the fresh horse
to be waiting. bat there was no sign OF
life when he reached the door, and sup
posing the hostler to be asleep, he dis
amounted, leaving the tired and foaming
horse standing within arms reach, and
opening the door, struck match and
before the Pickering fame shot up, he
made step and stunIled over the dead
body Of the hostler. Hastily rising and
realizing the danger from the Indians
who must be near, he stepped outside to
mount his horse and found him gone.
He at once struck out with caution and
in his moccasin feet stealthily escaped
in the darkness, and as rapidly as he
could, made his way through the hours
OF darkness towards Jacobs Springs, in
Reese River Valley, which he SUCCEEDED
in reaching the next day in safety. A
search and relief party from there re-
turned the mex. day to Grubb's Wells
and found the dead body OF the hostler
scalped, aud the horses stolen. They
had taken the riders horse during the
moment he was in the house, and how he
efcaped was a miracle, but undoubtedly
was owing to his knowledge of the In
dians' habits and his caut;en in retreat
iag.

The steamer Oregonia this morning,
on her regular down trip, went astray
from her usual course, and, in conse-
quence, got hung up on a gravel bar
for about six hours, to the consterna.
tion of her passengers Although Cap
tain Raabe knows the river as well, if
not better than any other man in the
service, the fog this morning was a
little too thick for even him. No great
damage was done to the beat, although
her planking was strained in such a
way as to cause a leak, which it took
until | clock this afternoon TO caulk
up, when, with a triumphant toot of
her whistle, she continued her trip
down stream. A large amount of traffic
was delayed by the accident, for the
boat was loaded with race horses, and

so much about last week. A large

Saturday evening a stret car con
ductor a man and dog furnished a
side show for the passengers on one of
the fair ground cars. The man was
taking the dog out to the fair grounds
and the conductor charged him for car
rying the animal. The man objected to
paying the fare demanded, and used
language that was more emphatic than
beautiful. The conductor demonstrated
with the irate passenger, warning him
to be more moderate in his remarks,
but this only seemed to increase his
fury. Finally the car men elected him,
but he was back on board again before
the car started. He continued his
growing until the end of the journey,

THE PERPETUAL
WAR

There is always a fight
going on in every human
body between health and dis
ease. On one side are poor
food, bad air, over-work,
worry, colds, accidents. On
the other are sunshine, rest,
cheerfulness and nourish-

The reason SCOTS EmuI-

PRINTER
ACCUSED
OF CRIME

Fred Baker, a travelling linotypist.
was arrested Saturday night for rob.
bing Robert Norwood of a small amount
of money. Baker had been working at
the Statesman office, and drew his pay
amounting to about $l7, early in the
evening. He proceeded to "tank up, .
and fell in with young Norwood, who
was also going the route. Norwood
fell by the wayside,' and while he
was peacefully slumbering in the rear
of a saloon, he claims that Baker
picked his pockets.
When arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Mimic, Baker had $1.s5 on him, and
was pretty well filed up on red liquor
Baker was arraigned in Justice Tul
ner IS court this morning, and entered
a plea of not guilty. His preliminary
examination will be held tomorrow at
9 O'Clock. A great many who have
heard the facts are of the opinion that
Baker is not guilty of any serious
crime, as he is popular in printing cir.
cles, and appears to be a very clever
fellow, and not bad character.

Now note what Congressman James T. Nc
Clery, representing the Second District of
Minnesota in Congress, says:
line canadians naturally want access
to the American market for their food
products. Today there is a duty of J.
cents pound on butter; 6 cents pound
on cheese; cents dozen eggs; 25
cents a bushel on wheat, and 80 cents {
a bushel on barley. These duties are
for the benefit of the farmers of Mimi
esota and other food-producing states.
The result of reciprocity with Canada
would be to remove all these duties +
and thus to LOSE TO THE FARMERS

ROBERT c. DUNN,

|
Republicans should not overlook the fact
that two aggressive campaigns were carried
on in this state by their party on the record
made by r. c. Dunn as state auditor. His
motives, his integrity, his character and his
honesty of purpose were not questioned 1t
was the proud boast of the party that this state
Jnever had been so fortunate as to have such a
competent and painstaking officer. His record
was rightly pointed to with pride by both press
and campaign speakers. Four years ago, Mr..
Van SAINT made his campaign the brilliant
record achieved by Auditor Dunn. If that
record was good at that time it is equally so
now, and the attempt to besmirch that record
will not be upheld by the people, The Ameri-
can people believe in fair play They do not
stand for continual abuse of men in public life.
Some charges of a personal character have
been made against Mr.. Dunn, but they have
yet to be proven. Men who know him best
take stock in these allegations, and certainly
if they do not believe them, the people at large
have reasons to give them credence
Bob Dunn, he always delights in being
called, is one of the common people. He is not
a member of the -Four Hundred" nor does
he cater to that class of people which attempts
to set itself up on pedestals, and which claims
to be made of finer clay than the balance of
the human family, which, however, is the bone
and sinew of the country. This paper does not
propose to enter into any details regarding the
personal charges that have been hurled at Mr.
Dunn, believing that such course is entirely
unnecessary and uncalled for. The people of
this state retained Mr.. Dunn in an important |
position for number of years; he was con-
tinually under the 1meight, and it does seem
rather strange that at this late day the man
has turned out to be such a monster as some
persons have pictured him.
In his own county Mr.. Dunn has the con-
fdence of the people. It is a remarkable fact
that although Mr.. Dunn was never admitted to
the bar his fellows twice elected him to the
position of prosecuting attorney, and with
fidelity to his oath he carried out the duties of
his Office. Several times Mr.. Dunn represented
his district in the legislature, besides holding
many Offices in his home city and country, all
TO his credit. When a mans neighbors speak
we'll of him this is pretty sure sign that he is
'ne that the people of the state can have CON-
idence in. ,
Morris tribune., 1904-11-05
A WARNING TO REPUBLICANS.

| The Democratic speakers making a
show of scoffing at the warning made in Re
publican quarters that the election of the
way menace the reelection of Knute Nelson to
the United States senate two years from next
January. But it is very plain to the intelligent
observer that if Johnson elected the sit
uation wotld be full of danger to the continued
ascendancy of the Republican party and especi-
ally to the reelection of Knute Nelson For if,
as the consequence of Republican detection,
Johnson should be elected this year against
the full tide of Republican enthusiasm for the
Republican presidential candidate, it is very
certain that he would be easily reelected, by
the same elements in the off year of 1906, when
this external stimulus to full Republican
vote was withdrawn. And he would be power
fully aided by the phalanx of Democratic Office
holders who in the meantime would owe their
position to his appointment Under the guild
ance of the shrewd Democratic politicians who
would form his political cabinet he would set
about infaming and aggravat1ng the divisions
in the Republican party which had resulted in
his election and creating new divisions. He
would propose measures popular than
WISE and thus appeal to the people to elect
legislature which would support his views, and
thus secure Legislature perhaps Democratic
in composition, but at any rate opposed to Mel
son.
Meanwhile Senator Nelson is in position
where he is likely to make bitter enemies OF
the most powerful corporations i'll the country
y So that, to the other conditions which
would result from Johnson's reelection already
indicated, which would threaten Republican
control of the Legislature of 1905, must be added
the money and influence of the gigantic corpor-
atoms which are sure to be arrayed against him
and will ioin forces with the Democrats in their
endeavors to defeat Nelson's reelection. There
is nothing fancifu in this horoscope. 1t simply
outlines the course of events predetermined by
existing conditions and by the situation for the
next two years which is likely to be developed
by the causes already in operation. A vote for
Johnson is, 50 far as human wisdom can pene
trate the future, a vote against the reelection
of Senator Nelson. It is a vote for Democratic
ascendancy in the state government, in the ex-
ecutive and in the egislature.-Pioneer Press.
Morris tribune., 1904-11-05

The price of wheat at Emerson, Manitoba,
is from 5 to cents bushel lower than it is at
St. Vincent Minnesota, just across the inter-
national boundary line. The price of wheat in
Winnepeg is from 20 to % cents bushel lower
than it is at Minneapolis. The important point
is that the milers most have northern wheat to
made the patent floor for W hich there is de-
p>nd in this country, and since they cannot
get it in Canada, they are willing to pay a
higher price for the Minnesota and Dakota
wheat on account of the tariff keeping out the
Canadian wheat. If Canadian wheat were
allowed to be marketed here this year, the rust
stricken wheat of Minnesota would not be
marketable, and the good wheat of the southern
part of the state would not command the good
price which it does
The nerviest part Of this Canadian recipro-
city talk is that the jobbers and mllers would
ions advantageous to them, much like neigh
Dor trading off your horse for binder and them
keeping the binder.
Yet John A. johnson, the, Democratic can
didate for governor, advocates reciprocity with
Canada and urges the farmers to vote for men
who favor removing the duty. He seems to
have more regard for the sci fish interests of a
few Minneapolis millers, than he has tor thous-
ands of hard working farmers Of Minnesota and
the interests of this great agricultural state
"A vote for Johnson means an endorsement
of that policy.

Another Confidence Game.

"I want to see the man that answers
the questions" said the heavy-footed call
er who had climbed up three or four
flights of stairs, according to the Chicago
Tribune.
"What do you want of him?" asked the
man at the desk.
"Its this way" said the other, dropping
into q chair. "A feller that's always talk
ing imperialism and predicting a mon
archy for this country offered to bet me a
dollar and half that the people wouldn't
be allowed to choose President for 1908.
I took him up, and we've agreed to leave
it to you"
"You've lost" the man at the desk de.
cided. "The President for 1908 is already
chosen. But the people, of course, will
choose the President for the term begin
ming in 1909, and -"
II thought there was some catch in il"
interrupted the caller, rising from his
chair and clumping toward the door;
ssbut I wasn't goin' to let him bluff me
darn my fool hide! Good day"

The STAGE as a School Of Costume.

In the January Delineator Gustav
Kobbe has an extremely interesting artl-
Gle on the development of costuming in
it's relation to the drama 1t is strikingly
illustrated from photographs OF stage
favorites in their distinctive gowns. A
paragraph ofspecial interest describes the
coming and passing of the "show girl"
ssIt has been the custom of comic opera
managers to distribute among the chorus
six young women above the usual height
and of unusual beauty. 1t chanced that
at dress rehearsal few years ago one
of the evolutions brought the six most
striking-looking girls of the chorus to-
gether into the front row. The managers
keen eye at once detected the effect-and
by the merest luck, the Show girl had
arrived. After while it became favor
tie plan to have at least one scene in
which the six show girls appeared in
gowns not only in the height of fashion,
but actually in advance of it. The ex-
treme was reached about two years ago
with The Runaways, in which the cos
tunes were so advanced in style that they
would be considered in vogue today, and
in fact, still are used in the production.
It seemed as if the acme of extravaganza
had been reached with these gowns, and
at all events, it resulted in the eclipse OF
the show girl. In fact, she eclipsed her
self, and no longer is considered an es'
sential feature Of comic opera produc.
tions. Her vogue has, however, resulted
in great care being bestowed upon the
dressing of modern roles in comic opera y
