Golden Treasure Trove.

While some workmen were demol'
ishing some old houses belonging to
Justice Phillimore in High street,
Kensington, one of them discovered
an earthenware teapot filled with discs
of yellowish metal. He put several
of them in his pocket and took them
to a jeweler, who declared that they
were spade guineas. He hurried back
for the remainder, but the teapot had
been put in a load of rubbish and
carted away to rubbish heap IN BAG
ley's lane. Fulham. Several of the
guineas, however, had fallen out OF the
teapot and were lying about on the
ground. and these were eagerly seiz
ed by the other workmen and sold fol
their weight in gold to the local jew
elers. Scotland Yard has forbldder

in search of homes, and that just now
the tide is setting toward the west.
Neither is it remarkable. Where wa
ter can be obtained, farmer can
clear. pillow and plant 40 acres of sage
brush land. II successful he can pay
for the place in one year and have
more left than he could have laid up
in the year working at wages. 1t is
nothing like what the strong men of
the last generation had to do in or
der to clear. subdue and put under
cultivation the stubborn forests be.
tween the eastern seashore and the
prairies. Then the profits are an in
centive which those farmers in the
east never had, and the markets some
thing which were never presented to
any other race of farmers.
Then there are the mines with their
possible fortunes; then there are a
thousand resources which a western
man would overlook for years which
an immigrant would seize upon in a
dav. Then there is a better climate
than the east knows anything of, and
a freedom of thought which lifts the
eastern man out of grooves which he
has followed until, on his awakening,
he finds himself astOnished that he
ever bound his life in those grooves.
Gradually the old expression that
the west is the biggest part of the
Union" is beginning to dawn upon the
average man as true. There is not
yet any New York or Philadelphia
in the west, but as men measure the
future they are beginning to see what
will be when the Pacific becomes as
black with steamship tunnels, or as
white with sails as is the Atlantic and
they do not forget how much larger
the Pacific is than the Atlantic.
1t is a great region and the condi-
tons ought to result in a race Of
men and women superior to those of
the east, for the reason that they have
better air to breathe and hence ought
to have a stronger physical fOrma-
ton, and second, because even as the
lungs of men expand in the rarifed
air, SO their brains ought to expand
Under the broader conditions and the
higher friction of the west. Finally
the real western man is impressed
by natures great exhibitions in the
west, and as he more and more realiz
es the splendor of the land which the
fathers made possible by the govern
ment they instituted his patriotism
ought to expand until he is ready to
do what they did-pledge his fortune
his life and his sacred honor on our
free institutions.

The people of Fergus county W

The people of Fergus county will
heartily endorse the action of the
county commissioners in Offering ST.
600 reward for the arrest and con.
viction of the party or parties who
murdered Samuel Studzinski. Wheth-
er it results in bringing the criminal
to justice or not the commissioners
are showing the right spirit, determ
inatiOn to do all in their power in
that direction. 1t manifests a senti.
ment that pervades this community
with reference to such a henious
crime. 1t is to be hoped that the re,
ward offered will stimulate renewed
effort to ferret out the criminal. Fer
gus county cannot afford to harbor
such desperate characters, as no man S
life or property is safe. The reward
offered should be sufficient to put pro
fessional sleuths on the trail Of the
murderer.

about II o'clock at night, having nc
means of informing anyone of the &C

LEWISTOWN. MONT, Aug 80, 1905
CITIZENS ARE AROUSED.


an inoffensive old man in the Main
street of Lewistown has aroused the
just indignation of all law-abiding
citizens. For weeks past there have
been robberies, holdups and shoot
ing, which have occasioned a great
deal of alarm among the people for
lives. Realizing that they were up
against a condition they have protested
against it and offered suggestions to
improve it. But what has it availed?
What are the chances for betterment?
What is the cause of this lawlessness
and the failure to check it?
1t is the belief of many citizens that
the reign Of lawlessnness in the past
few months has been entirely due to
the 'wide-open" policy that has exist
ed and the incompetency or indiffer-
ence of those entrusted with the keep
ing of the peace.
In protesting against the existing
is no chance for political bias or po-
ltical capital. All good citizens,
Democrats and Republicans, are earn
estly demanding that something be
done. and that quickly, for the pro
lection of life and property and the
fair name of this young and growing

zenship, that will compare favorably,
on the whole, with any other in the
state, and having just pride in all
that makes for good in the present
and in the future, the people will in
sist that the laws be enforced.
"A pretense of enforcing the laws
and ordinances will not do. If any
officer of the law is obligated in any
way to that element bent on disturb
ing the peace, he should be removed
and some one chosen who will stand
for law and order and who Will be-
come a terror to evil doors. We trust
this is not the case.
Some will say our city has not a
sufficient number of peace officers
We think that the number is ample
and all that the revenues will afford
Besides there are the county peace
officers who can assist in enforcing
the laws and in ferreting out crime.

characters. those who have no desire
to work, would improve the situation
materially.
Hard characters, driven out of 9th
er cities. are finding their way to Lew
istown, and it will require watchful
ness on the part of our local officer;
to prevent them from committing of
lenses here.
There can be no doubt that opeI
gambling has had much to do witt
the conditions which have prevailed
here, and the county attorney ha
done the proper thing in ordering al
games closed. We trust this is no
spasm of virtue to allay presen
feeling. If in earnest, he should have
the moral support of this community
Gambling is in violation of the stat
law and it is the duty of our peac
officers to suppress it. The attemp
to regulate gambling has proved fail
ure. 1t is not only crime. but
breeds criminals, those who exist o.
the ill-gotten gains. parasites an
hangers on.
There is a demand for better cit
government to the end that citizen
may be safe on the streets and i
their homes. and in the possession {
their property. This demand is not III
reasonable. If it is not brought abou
through the proper channels drastl
measures may become necessary
