DELINQUENTS.

The Editor Of the Ellinsburg, Wash,
Dawn, makes the following rather per
tinent remarks relative to some of its
delinquent subscribers:
"Ellinsburg has her quota Of such
measly, sneaking, contemplate, shys-
tering deadbeats, and so far as we are
concerned, will not conceal theii
names.
We have no desire, neither will we
injure anyone who may be slow or I'M
able to settle his bills at this Office,
but when one can pay and will not,
keeping US out of the use Of our money
year in and year out, working all man
ner of hardships on US, we deem i
but fair to protect our interests anc
prevent, if possible, from being i'm

MISTAKES.

No man becomes great" said
Gladstone except through many and
great mistakes" All history, all pro-
gress, all success is a record Of triumph
over blunder. In business, in politi-
cal or social life, perfect man has
never been found, and never will be.
Every man must work out his own
salvation in all the activities of life.
He may proft--if he is wise, he will
proft-by the experience Of others;
but if his career is to be success, it
must be built up upon many and great
mistakes. Experience is the greatest
teacher, because it shows us not so
much how to do things as how not to
do them. Every mistake is stepping
stone for something better, something
higher. This fact is keynote for a
great difference in men. The man
who is afraid of making a mistake will
probably never accomplish anything
worthy or of a permanent character.
But mistakes and failures cannot daunt
the man who is in earnest. There are
comparatively few successes because
the average man fails to view his mis-
takes in the right light. The greatest
power on earth is will, and one OF the
most important problems that con-
fronts man is to adjust correctly the
relations between the will and The
natural tendency to blunder. Every
mistake, to the right-minded man, i:
an education. The education of mar
is never completed, because, howevel
great, however thoughtful, howeve,
considerate, however kind, howeve
well intentioned man may be, every
man continues to make mistakes in al
the affairs of ljfe.-William Bittlt
Wells in August Pacific Monthly.

ONE PURCHASE ENOUGH.

In the Confession of a CRATER"
published in Milwaukee paper, which
represents a community overloaded
with graft, occurs this interesting pass
age:
They get man as soon as they
can. They don't mind paying $500
or $1,000 to get man the first time,
but they never let him get big money
after that. He is a cheap giraffe ever
afterward."
After communicating their victim, he
is as a lost soul, ever afterwards
the property of the corruptionists.
The man who confessed explained fur
ther:
Stand out against it? You could
mt do such a thing. l tell you they
had me from the minute 1 took thai
first bribe."
This was graft refined, as it was
worked in Milwaukee, where the ar
exists in all its perfection. -Colfax Ga

FACTS WANTED.

When a self-conceited, egotistical
individual runs up against proposition
where their position is untenable and
even absurd or childlike, they never
have the manhood, nor honor, nor the
sense Of justice that would prompt
respectable editor to admit an error or
correct wrong. Rather than be man
ly enough to desire to do the right
thing by all men this kind of an indi-
vidual invariably fortifes himself be-
hind straw man Of his own making
and continues to defame and SANDER
and abuse. And this is the calibre Of
the mental pigmy who calls himself
the editor OF the Peck Press. Three
week ago he began trade against the
register Of the Lewiston Land Office,
for no better reason than to satisfy a
petty, personal spite, making the most
slanderous accusation without offering
an iota of proof or evidence to sub
stantiate his charges. Editor Coble
even went so far as to state positively
that Register West is guilty of the
grossest kind of land frauds. The
Troy News week later suggested that
no charges had been made against Mr..
West and until such a time accusa-
tons OF so slanderous a nature were
entirely unbecoming any fair-minded
publisher. We also suggested that il
Mr.. Coble had evidence warranting
his charges and showing that Mr.. West
or anyone else was implicated in the
Idaho land frauds the proper thing
would be to lay the facts before the
proper authorities. 1t was his duty
This was too much for Editor Coble
He evidently hasn't any facts to pre-
sent, but he doesn't propose to let this
stop his cowardly, malicious, untruth
full attack. Now we are again going
to suggest-if Brother Coble will per
mit-perhaps insist that Coble (Gobblt
would be better name) come off tn,
roost long enough to tell the public
whether he really has in his possession
a single scrap of evidence duplicating
Mr.. West with the Idaho land fraudsi

If you have not admit you are a sneak

Troy News is upholding graft. Ant
all the time, Mr.. Coble, we have bee

GREAT BELL
IS RECEIVED
WILL SOON BE PLACED IN THE
METHODIST CHURCH
BElFRY.

Lewistown is now able to boast
of big Ben" of it's own, the i'm
mense bell for the First Methodist
church having arrived this week. 1t
is now at the church, and will be
mounted in the belfry next week.
The bell was cast at Frederick,
Ohio, and is said to be the largest
one ever brought to Montana. 1t
weighs $3.50 pounds, and measures
54 inches across the base.
Result Of a Subscription.
The bell was purchased by fund
raised by subscription, principally
among members of the church. This
fund was started by Walter S. Smith,
who took the initiative in it long
time ago. OF course the tone of a
bell is everything, and while this one
has not been tested here in that re.
spect, a few preliminary thumps Civ.
en- to it indicate that it has a very
deep, mellow tone.
10 Easily Handled.
Despite it's ponderous size, the bell
is very easily manipulated. A pat.
ent contrivance makes a mere touch
all that is necessary to start it.
Rev. w. A. Winters, knowing the
exact dimensions of the bell, had
the builders make preparations for
getting it in place, and there will be
no difficulty in hosting it to its lofty
position, and the sound of this bell
will soon be familiar to LewistOwn.

JAPs AND INDEMNITY.
Will Insist That Russia Pay Expeu.
ses Of the War.


Washington. July 27.-Whether
there is to be peace in the far east
or continuance of the war will be
practically decided at the first busi-
ness meeting of the Washington con-
ference. which will convene at the
navy yard. Portsmouth, N. H., about
August 5. Baron Komura will on
that occasion communicate to M.
Witte the essentials of Japan's peace
terms, for further negotiations.
1t Is known that Japan will de.
mand an indemnity that will approxi-
mately cover the cost Of the war to
date. This was communicated to Rus
sia early in the preliminary negotia-
tions. The amount is still secret,
but it is based upon the most careful
estimates Of the cost of the war. and
will be accompanied by a more de.
tailed statement, showing the method
by which the actual figures were
computed. 1t will not fall far short
of one billion dollars, according to
advices reaching here from we'll in
formed sources. Besides the indem-
nifty, it is believed Japan's other es-
sentials to the continuance of the ne
gotiations are the cession to Japan of
Sakhalin of the Lilo Tung peninsula,
and of the railway as far as Harbin.
The recognition Of japanese predom-
mating influence in Korea and the re-
turn Of Manchuria to China.
II the Russian plenipotentiaries
are prepared to accept these essentials
the officials here are confident that
the basis will be laid for negotiations
sure to lead to the signing Of the
treaty of Washington, bringing peace
in the far east.

MONTANA CATTLE SOLD.
First Lot to Reach Chicago Market
Bring Good Prices.

0TsU8 0OO0 VTICSS.
The result of the first shipment
this season. of Montana rangers to
--.icago is satisfactory to local cat
tlemen. The Bloom cattle were on
the Chicago market Tuesday, and in
the afternoon Secretary w. G. Preuitt,
of the Montana Stockgrowers' as
sociation at Helena, got a telegram
telling him of the results. The re-
turns follow:
Forty-three head, averaging 1870,
$4.90; 1913 head, averaging 1,24O, $4.-
40; 67 head, 81; 81 head, $3.65; 21
head, $3.50.
The cattle we're shipped from NAL
ia, and were in good condition. They
have been grazing in the vicinity of
the Canadian line, and the majority
were aged cattle.
Speaking of the shipment and sale,
Mr.. Pruitt said:
"This is the first shipment of rang
ers from Montana this season. There
was a shipment from South Dakota
last week, but they were not in good
condition, and one cannot Judge the
market from the prices they brought.
The hot weather has tendency to
keep prices down and the Bloom cat
tie may not bring as good prices as
they would If the weather was cool.
Shipments from Montana will be scat
tering for a week or two, but, judg.
ing from the reports, next month the
business of shipping will be in full
swing. Montana has some fine cat
tie to put on the market this year.
