sunk, and here we are right over old

Monday night a number of the citi-
zens of Forsyth who have the best in
terests of the town at heart and who
are always to be found doing their
part in promoting the same, gathered
at the conrt house, pursuant to call
made by the Business Mems associa-
ton, to discuss the proposition of a
bridge across the Yellowstone river at
this point. No official meeting was
held, but it was decided to leave the
matter in the hands of the bridge COM
mittee, which was appointed some time
ago by the association, with instruc-
tions to do all in their power to get the
matter before the people as soon as
possible. If we are~to have a bridge
the sooner the matter is brought to a
head the better for all concerned.

On the first page of the Inter Noun
tain, in its issue of July 10th, an ar
ticle appears which tells of the manner
in which women belonging to the fam
lilies of the deported miners of Colorado
are intimida,ed, and that even the
post Office money orders sent to those
who are in want are refused recogni-
tion. On page .hree of the same issue
there is another article, but under head
lines that will not attract attention,
stating that President Roosevelt had
met committee representing 22s, 600
union men of Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania; conveying the startling intelli-
gence that the situation in Colorado
had not been such as to warrant inter.
ference by the federal government.
Are not postoffices under the control OF
the Federal government? Teddy s
back bone has been extracted by the
Citizens alliance, his strenuosity has
been muzzled by Coy. Peabody and
the mine owners of Colorado, and the
''silence" of his answer to the resolu.
tions sent him by the citizens of Butte
is so very pronounced as to be felt ir
every state in the Union.

Democratic National Ticket
For President 4Nt
ALTON b. PARKER, of New York
For Vice-Presdent-
HENRY G. DAVIS, of West Virginia

It is generally rumored that the
HONORABLE Chas. H. Loud has
stated that he is helpless in the attacks
we have made upon his integrity owing
to our irresponsbility. In other words
the gentleman would file suit for
damages against us if he thought he
would have any chance to collect
judgment against us. In order to put
the HONORABLE gentleman in the
right light before the public; to show
just exactly what ground he stands
upon, we wish to state for his particu-
lar benefit, and incidentally for the
enlightenment of the public, that Mr..
Leo. C. Harmon is now a wealthy man
in his own right and title, that he is
the man making the charge, and that
the HONORABLE gentleman might
make very successful investment in a
damage suit if he be able to establish
the very pertnant fact that he has been
falsely accused. The old-soldier
father of Leo. Hartman made his inn
passioned appeal to the public for the
exoneration of his son before he went
to his grave, asking that the stigma be
erased from his name and placed
where it properly belonged. Mr.. Cor
don of the Yellow stone Journal refused
to give it space in his paper; Mr.. Loud
ignored it, and the people were wont
to forget it. But while this paper has
subscriber, and SO long as Mr.. Loud
aspires to the judgeship of this district
we intend to continue the work so
warrantably bugan in the declining
days of Mr.. William Harmon.

AN UNUSUAL WINTER.

The present winter is an unusual
season for this section. For steady,
clear, cold weather, abundant sun
SHINE and scanty rainfall it would be
difficult to recall just such a season.
Rain which was abundant during the
late spring and early summer months
slackened up in August aud since
that time we have had only OCCASION
al good showers, until Wednesday
night when q hard rain fell. In the
bayou Vermilion the water has been
brackish as high up as Keuhling's
store since last September, a condi-
ton that has not prevailed before.
On the seacoast and at Chenier au
Tigre there has been little or no rain
since last May, and cattle in the
marshes there have suffered from
lack of fresh water. This week has
given us some very disagreeable cold
weather and it is to hoped that Spring
will soon be here.
