Christie Gets Seven Years.

John Christie, who WAS ar
rested at Hope, N. D., and who
confessed that, with John Ham
mond, he held up the North
Coast Limited passenger train Of
the Northern Pacific at Bear
mouth last June pleaded guilty
at Phillipsburg to the charge Of
grand larceny and was immed-
lately sentenced to seven years
at hard labor in the state prison.
Christie heard his sentence with
indifference. The train robber
withdrew his former plea Of not
guilty and waived statutory time
for passing sentence. William
Wallace, attorney for the North
ern Pacific, and Secret Service
Agent McFetridge were in court
ready to conduct the prosecution.
Hammond who is the confess
ed pal of Christie in the holdup
of the North Coast Limited,
reached Phillipsburg last night
in custody of Sheriff JEFF O'Con-
nell of Helena. Hammond will
be tried on a charge of murder,
for the killing of Engineer O'Neill
at the time of a previous holdup
of the North Coast Limited at
Bearmouth. Christie will ap-
pear as a witness against Ham
mond.-Mpls. Journal.

ALBERT LARSON.

In one crisp sentence of eight
words of his letter Of acceptance,
President Roosevelt has given
the first premise for a conclus-
i've syllogism:
First Premise-ssA PARTY
FIT TO GOVERN MUST HAVE
CONVICTIONS"
Second Premise-The Demo.
cratic party, from Judge Parker
down to Tom Taggart, has no
convictions.
CONCLUSION Therefore the
Democratic party is not fit to
govern.
And there you have the pro.
cess Of reasoning that will decide
this election.

The republican party has
nominated a local county ticket
that is worthy of the support of
every member of the party in
this county. The candidates
from John L. Houghton who
heads the ticket, down to the
last constable on it, are men of
ability and integrity and if
elected the party pledges that
each and every one will perform
his duties satisfactory and eff
cheney, and what is more outside
of Sundays will not only be in a
condition to do so but will be on
deck every working day in the

is OF A FINE QUALITY.

Mcpherson, Kan, Nov. At has been
learned from good authority that the
drillers who are putting down the well
for the Prospect company have struck
a large bed of glass sand. 1t is eighty
some feet from the surface of the
ground and is sixty feet thick. Those
who know what glass sand is and have
seen it say that it is of very fine quail
ity. 1t has been known for a long time
but not announced, that large deposits
or beds of this were located in the
western part of the county, but it was
never known that it existed in such
large quantities and SO near the city.
The only thing that would prevent a
fine glass factory being run here is the
high price of coal. However, if gas or
oil is found here in good quantities it
will reduce the cost of running such a
plant to less than half and Mcpherson
will not only burn it's own gas and oil
but will have a large glass factory.
The drillers are now past the sand
and are in the soap stone. They are
down several hundred feet
