Mining is one of our great basic in

culture, the source of our national
wealth. As America is the great gra-

tries, to greater or less degree, look
for thsir supply Of the necessities OF

Choice of Evils.

l was studying the strike situation
in Chicago recently, and at first was
somewhat elated at the prospect of so
many colored men gaining positions
in the labor world, which had previ-
ously been denied them owing to the
arraut prejudice of organized labor
unions. l thought at first, in con-
junction with other of my fellowmen,
that the employers and contractors
were willing to deal fairly with men
who risked limb and life in order that
the wheels of industry might not be-
come clogged.
But after all is it wise that we
should become cats paw for the mon
key. You remember the old saw.
The devil was sick the devil monk
would be; the devil got well, the dew
il monk was he"
That readily applies to organiza-
tions composed of employers aud con-
tractors Sick at seeing their pockets
depleted By the strike of laborers
from teamster to carpenter, they
make overtures to the men of this
nation who have never faltered at
what they considered duty. The
appeal was made to the colored labor
er. he was told that the prosperity
Of the community was at stake; that
now was the time to break down the
barrier OF organized labor which had
always been inimical to his own in
terests, had always kept him on low
plane in the industrial marts, there
fore with less opportunity to provide
for his family and educate his off,
spring. Indeed, some Of the employ
ers went so far az to say that under
no circumstances whatever would
they recognize organized labor in re
placing them if they would take hold,
drive their teams and keep the indus
trial wheel in motion. "The devil

bounty of the rock ribbed hills whose

sist on business foundation whvreop
to base their expectations for rea-
sonable income from safe and per

superior value of gold and copper
mine investment cannot be given than
the fact that the great insurance COM
panies, the trusts and the aggregated
capital of the country are investing
extensively in gold and copper mines
in Colorado Many a man and wo
man have gene to sleep, who were
called poor, who had nothing but
their wages and a few shares in some
gold mining company which were
purchased from their savings at the
ground floor price; but the company
was digging and working day and
night and when these persons awoke
one morning tney found they were
rich.
The Calumet and Hecla mines in
1900 paid the shareholders $50 per
cent dividend. Had you invested
$4,000 er 100000 you would have
received $50 per cent dividend and
still own your shares. The $4,000
invested in these shares is now worth
81 $50 in either of the above men
toned mines. The Homestake shares

this mine and he has received $4,000

| Hathaway will not celebrate owing
to the fact that we have received sew
eral letters from the committee on cell
ebration at Miles City and Forsyth,
saying that our proposed barbecue
and races here would be such draw
ing card that they would not have the
crowd which they would otherwise
surely get If we stayed out of the game.
! After very heated discussion our
committee has concluded to postpone
our doings until next year. The sheep
will keep and be larger and in better
condition by that time, then too, we
have only collected fifteen cents towards
the three hundred dollars necessary
for running expenses. We shall con.
sequently throw all our support to our
sister cities and endeavor to have a
big time at both places We hope
they will appreciate our good inten-
tons and send us free transportation.

Knowing how much the public appreciated that public time piece we have installed in our north window for the use of the public, an electric clock. It is guaranteed strict ly accurate. getting the time from Washington every morning. And the only restrictions we make Is that the girls must at all times look at the clock and refrain from looking at the mirrors.

Rules That All Cosmetics Shall Bear
 Skull and Crossbones.

|
 Skull and Crossbones. l Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 7-The de- cree has gone out from the office of the State Board of Health that all cos l metics shall hereafter bear the skull l and crossbOnes as warning that they are poisonous, otherwise their sale
 will be illegal in Indiana and the sell CT will be arrested.
 H. E. Barnard, State Chemist. has been making an investigation of this class of goods sold by druggists and has determined that they shall com ply with the law or be barred from the state.
 "The sale of many cosmetic prep arations." said Mir Barnard. twill be prohibited in Indiana unless the man ufacturers put on them the sign indi- eating poison. the skull and cross bones.
 Practically all of these preparations contain q large part of corrosive sub Innate, a deadly poison if taken inter- nally. and the law of the state says that no poison shall be sold unless 1t is designated as poison.
 Tt is probable that the manufac- turers will be unwilling to. have the unpleasant looking poison emblem attached to their goods. and that they will withdraw them from the market first. and if they do not that the num- Der of women using them will be ma terially decreased"
 Mir Barnard admitted that these preparations did little or no actual damage to the skin when applied, but that they were poison, pure and sim pie. when taken internally.
 "They should never be allowed to re- main around the house within the reach of children, who might take them internally and die from the effects" continued the State Chemist.

Well. w ell,

Politics is one of the queerest games that man can run up against. Every election day the democrats and repuD- ilcans start in early Tn the morning with the usual contest and continue until 5 D. m., both sides claiming q yic- tory. but the worst part in the game that we see is when they begin 10 tel you all the faults the other fellows hays and they have none. and the pest part of the game is when they close up all the saloons. Then good Tea and Coffee is looked for. but this year our Buttermilk certainly struck the right spot. We sold lots of it and ey- eryone gave us praise for it's goodness. Well. during one heated argument we heard one fellow tell his friend that Mir So-and-So should be carrying the hod instead of looking for a poilticai job. That just reminded us. we have some very nice Galvanized Coal Hods which we give with one pound of our warranted good Baking Powder 45 cents per pound. and the Hod is worth 49 cents alone; therefore, it's bar gain. Say. If you are passing our store don't forget to take look at our Win dow display of Teapots. We are sell ing them below the regular price. and remember our Butter is only p cents per pound and our patrons tell us lts better than others sell for 30 cents. If you like good Butter, Try our 20 cent quality once. Our Tea Is, as usual, the kind that tickles the palate and sometimes compels your visitors to ask. where do you buy such nice-tast- ing Tea. and for good Coffee we epat them all. If you doubt us, give us one trial.
