| News" The heroic stand of the Des-
eTet News on the B0er war and the
tithing question has made many friends
for the News" here. In fact. one might
say there is nothing TO it but the
News in Pancake settlement. Some
times We don't get our mail for months.
but it never makes any difference in our
! judgment of the News" The old
! copies are just as good as the new ones.
! Everybody here takes the News" The
circulation figures are as follows:
! News 70; Herald. 0; Tribune 0.
There was a package marked Tel
egram' come here a few months ago.
Nobody knows what it means, and we
are all afraid to open il on account of

! try now. Can you let US know what it
/ is? Your brother.

fThese letters from 80 OF the leading
cities Of the state are published merely
TO show that the figures given hereto
fore in relation to circulation Of the
| News were not as strong as they
might have been. 1t will be noticed
that no attempt is made TO controvert
the truth OF these letters.
Such eVaSive replies as liar will
receive 10 attention from the News"
neither will we permit ourselves to be
/ led into any trap" Let those who
may doubt these figures endeaVor to get
denials from the writer's of the letters.
| That is the only fair test. Meanwhile.
the News will continue its gallant
fight for corporate rights and more
