THE AMERICAN" CAMPAIGN
ON.

A good deal has been written and
spoken regarding that more or less
dilettante and strictly mushroom
political cabal which arragantly calls
itself the American party" but the
half has not been told. 1t is, indeed
difficult task to keep track of the
ways and means of an organization
which came into being between two
days and maps out its plan of cam
paign behind locked doors and with
drawn blinds, only a few of the thor
oughly seasoned ants being partici-
pants in the conclave at that. But
walls have ears and doors open oc-
casionally, whereby the doings of
those who fancy themselves proof
against publicity sometimes ooze out
and percolate through the communi-
ty
1t is now understood that the Trib-
une will not be permitted to shift its
ground until after the fall campaign
at least; that no matter how fast pa
tronage is ebbing away and prestige
becoming iridescent, the desertion of
the organ now would create a STAN
redc which would end the fitful strug-
gle for place and pelf at once. Even
with such assistance as that paper has
been giving of late the chances for
success are known to be themerest
will-o-the-wisps, shining at dis

During the FIVE months sufficient

RED HANEY AND THE ELK
A Remarkable Nature story From tt,
Wyoming Woods.

Wyoming Woods.
A remarkable example of the fury Of
a thoroughly aroused elk took place
outside Elk Head, wyo., recently. The
animal, u magnificent bull, had been
wounded just enough to make him
mad, and he let every one know just
how he felt
Red Haney, miner, was the first
to notice TINT something unusual was
going on In BonsaIl's woods. Clouds
Of dust hung over the forest and
frightened small animals could be seen
scampering from 1t. Suddenly the
miner, who had taken refuge on the
top of his cabin, saw the elk emerge
from the woods. It hesitaed for a
moment and then made directly for
Haney. Nobody knows what might
have happened il the beast had not
got his antlers tangled up In the en-
trance.
Haney says that the elk lifted him,
cabin and all, and started down the
road. AS they passed a low hanging
tree the miner swung himself of, and
the angry animal continued his mad
race without realizing that his load had
been llghtened. Neither the elk nor
the house has been seen since.

w est Prosperous
Says Hartman
BANKS AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE
PLENTY OF MONEY AND
CROPS ARE GOOD.

NEW YORK, Sept. lie. H. Har,
rimsn, who recently returned from an
extensive trip through the west, said
that the west is more prosperous than
ever before; that there are no sigus
of panic there, but that the people OF
that section are not now seeking III,
vestments. He added: IN spots the
crops will not be as good as last year,
but the west will have fair crop.
One lines appeared to be well favored.
Crops are excellent all along the lines
of the Union Pacific"
Country banks and individuals OF
the west have plenty Of money, but
they are hanging on to it and are not
seeking Investments. There is no
question In my mind that great dea.
of money Is tied up in this way, but
there people who are hanging onto
their money now, later will be seeking
investments.
81 found the attitude of people with
money one Of uncertainty, There Is
more money in the country than we
believe, but It is beng withheld from
free circulation by some apparent fear
or apprehension. think securities
have gone very much below what they
should have gone under any ctrcum-
stances"
Although he aad seen no marked
signs of business depression in the
west Mr.. Hartman said that contrac-
ton in practically all lines was sure
to come. The lack OF money to carry
out big enterprises is alone sufficient,
he said, to bring about this contrac-
ton.
