and tips" but the public wanted
something more reliable, accurate re-
ports which the newspapers convey.
Wild rumors filled the streets after the
newspaper suspension, which had a
depressing effect upon the local ex-
changes and business In general.
Malicious stories were circulated. 1t
was noised about that the leading
grocer had failed for hundreds of thou
sands of dollars The owner Of the
largest department store of the north
west was said to be curtailing his BUSH
ness, and his solveney was doubted. AS
Il matter of fact this merchant was
laying off clerks by the score, because
the absence of advertising had left his
aisles empty. Formerly he carried
from four to eight pages Il day. 1t was
rnmored that former mayor had
killed himself; rumor had prominent
brewer killed. and he was obliged to
hasten home from a winter resort to
convince his friends that he was alive.
Rumor divorced n dozen couples and
started unfortunate stories the news
papers were afterwards obliged to
deny Rumor, in short, proved con-
clusively the service which newspapers
perform in keeping the people in
formed OF the truth.

Using enables the buyers In the mod
ern homes to make their choice before
leaving the house. and that the add
vertising columns OF the newspapers
save the buyers large amount of
time in addition to squirting them to
purchase and putting them in mind Of
purchases timely and necessary.
THE duration of the suspension of
the newspapers OF Butte, the circum-
stances surrounding that suspension,
and the results 1t presented express
forcibly this fact: That community
today cannot get along without
newspaper"

SHEEP KILLING DOGS.

We notice in our items of occur
ences in Morgan township, copied from
the Bows Advocate that Mr.. Erick-
son, who lost about thirty sheep by
dogs recently hopes to locate the sheep
killers by watching nights, expecting
that the dogs will return. Mr.. Erick-
son will be disappointed. The dogs that
did the mischief will not come again.
THERE'S no animal 50 cute as a sheep
killing dog, and nothing that man
will lie so readily about as to clear his
dog from the charge of killing sheep.
We have sometimes thought that a
man would so farther in stretching
the truth about his dog than In de-

participated in the killing of Mr..
Erickson's sheep can establish an alibi,

more sheep. but not on Mr.. Erickson's
farm. AS a boy we. lived in sheep

Of the good people can not reconcile

their idea of the fitness of things. We

MIR. j. j. Burdin. well-known
1umb Der dealer of st. Martinville,
LA, was in New Orleans recently
'and called at the department of
United States engineers in REFER
'ence to the proposed improvement
of Bayou Teche, which was provi-
'ded for by IN appropriation OF
$4,000 made by the last Con-
gress.
The work will be done with a
view of providing slack water ma
vigation all the year in the Bayou
Teche from St. MartinviIe to Ar
'naudviIie. distance of ifly-three
miles below St. Martinville.
The appropriation is contingent
on the deciding to the United
States, free of cost, all land neces-
'sary for lock and dam purposes
and dam feeders, and upon the
government being secured against
any possible claims for damages
resulting from the overflow OF
lands by reason Of the took and
dam Improvement or from the
draining of Spanish Lake.
This lake is only five miles be-
low st. Martinville, and it is plan
ned to tap that body of water after
the locks have been built, and pro.
vide a six-foot depth of water in
the upper part Of the Teche.
At present there is no naviga.
ton above st. Martinville, and by
the construction of this lock slack
water navigation will be bad dur
ing the entire year. Owing to in.
filtration and other causes it will
be impossible to have any depth
in the upper part of the stream
from st. Martinville to Arnaud
Vile until this lock is built.
Mr. Burdin will call meeting
Of the residents of st. Martinville
the Progressive Union Of thai
place, the residents of Breaux
Bridge and Arnaudville to consi
der whether the deciding of a strip
of land on each side of tho stream
for the building of the locks to thu
government free of all cost will b.
acceptable to the residents of those
towns.-N. 1. Enterprise.

A New York man has just pa
tented a device for the encourage
ment of thrift. 1t consists of a toy
savings bank with a clock attach
meut. The clock is set in the face
of the bank and can not be wound
unless a dime is dropped in the
slot. As winding causes the dime
to fall into the vault and the clock
will run but twenty-four hours
without rewinding, the contrivahce
assures the accumulation of 70
cents q week. The theory is that
the necessity of depositing a dime
every day will lead to slipping in
other coins at odd moments and
thus establish a habit of saving.
