OPERATORS JOKE Is
HOAX IN OHIO TOWN

Cleveland, Ohio. April 16.-Cleveland
and other cities in Ohio were startled
by a report that President Roosevelt
had been assassinated. The word was
spread with great rapidity. and the
newspaper offices were besieged with
telephone calls all day.
Telegraph advices from throughout
the state show that many of the
smaller towns heard the same rumor.
1t seems that some telegraph operator
in a small Ohio town sent the dispatch
over h railroad wire. 1t vas caught
by operators all along the line. who.
thinking it correct, pushed it through.
Just why the operator sent the mes
sage is not known. He said he thought
it would be a great joke n relieve the
otherwise monotonous routine of a
quiet Ohio day.

And the mountain labOured and
brought forth a mouse"
Samuel Gompers always seems to
have knowledge of a conspiracy
against labor up his sleeve.
Speaking before the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor in Denver Thursday,
he stated that he had heard since he
arrived in Denver, that it was intend
ed at the coming session of congress
to pass an amendment to the Sherman
antitrust law, detrimental to the Ia
Dor movement.
We believe that all this trouble is in
his eye.
In the first place, the basis of our
national wealth lies in the prosper
ity of the people, and the people can
not be prosperous II they are down
trodden and poor. Prosperity is pos
sible only with good times, and good
Zines are the result of steady employ
ment at high wages.
Low wages would cripple every
manufacturing establishment in the
United States, for the reason that
every manufacturer relies on the pur-
chasing power of the people to make
business profitable. -.. --.sl- +
Plenty of employment and highest
wages-large and continued profits.
Restricted employment and low
wages-closed factories and hard
times.
NO man, whether he be a merchant,
manufacturer or a workman will for
a moment advocate any measure that
has for its purpose the Gripping OF
the American workman. r.
No man in public life, who relies
on the suffrage of the laboring class
would dare do such a thing, for the

Mix This Simple, Helpful Recipe at
Home and Try It, Anyway.
Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. .0
Shake we'll in a bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to
relieve backache, kidney trouble, weak
bladder and all forms Of urinary diff
iculties. This mixture acts promptly
on the eliminative tissues Of the kid
neys, enabling them to filter and
strain the uric acid and other waste
matter from the blood which causes
rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried 1t
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or
other organs.
Mix some and give it a trial. It
certainly m highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation, it
is said, was established by 1t.
A druggist here at home, when
asked, stated that he could either sup
ply the ingredients or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also recon-
mends it as harmless.

Which reminds us Of an incident
that took place in q mining camp dur
ing the boom days.
IA party rolled into one Of the fash
ionable saloons, and after consuming
pretty nearly every variety of liquor
on tap, concluded that the proper
thing would be to end a night of ca
rousal with sparkling wine. AS the
owner Of the place did not happen to
have any in the house, he tblinked his
eyes several times. The crowd thought
twas the wisdom of the liquor dealer
cropping out-and in this no mistake
was made.
II have some." he said, at is old,
and will take a few moments to get
at It,"

So he poured a quart of beer into a
gallon Of Rhine wine and served it to
the crowd, greatly to their gratifica-
ton, for every man present recognized
a good thing when he tasted it, and
allowed that when it came to the max
ing Of champagne, the French beat

LAND AT 500 AN. ACRE.

One man says there is nc money IN
farming, and II he says so, 1t must
be a fact, for he has tried it and
failed.
Another man is silent, plods along,
and at the end Of twenty years retires
hale and hearty, with a well devel-
oped farm, a snug bank account, and
a family that has been educated in the
highest universities. He is the man,
who has made a success of farming.
Farming depends, not on the view
point, but on the industry, coupled
with intelligence, that is applied to
development.
The man who farms in the city,
makes a cce Of his business like
the fellow who is lust going to do
It," .." affaa.. r.. ..9a.
All Of which brings us to the point.
Land in the Yellowstone valley,
James J. Hill says, is worth 5000 an
acre. g85s.a.
He is backed up in that statement
by the fact that there is a westward
flow OF immigrants, who are search
ing for homes. Land prices are adj
vancing. because the available acre
age is becoming scarcer-and hence
more valuable.
We consume constantly more and
more, and export less and less. The
day is coming, and is not distant, when
1t will be impossible for US to produce
as much wheat as we will require.
We must cultivate the entire country.
Necessity brought about by the in
crease in population, demands it.
Just at the present time, the value
of land is increasing because the peo-
pie are beginning to realize that in a
few years there will be no cheap
acreage.
The day when 5000 land will be
available is about to pass.
Now is the time to obtain posses
sion of choice acreage for it will make
a great profit to the owner, just as
certainly as will stocks and bonds. II
you are not a land owner, it is time
that you become one.
Land in the Yellowstone valley is
worth 5000 an acre-and if you live
here, and fail to take advantage of the
opportunity within your grasp, you
have only yourself to blame.

THE ATTEMPT TO AssAssiNATE
HENEY. D.

E"M u"I. EE.. rMH5G ~ . l=Y-. e.. E-t. ia.
When Morris Haas tried to murder
Francis ]. Heney yesterday afternoon,
he took the shortest possible course
to the very life he sought to conceal.
At the same time, he placed in the
hands Of the famous prosecutor, a
powerful weapon, with which to carry
on his battle against graft, bribery
and corruption.
Haas, an ex-convict and a saloon
keeper, was on Of the juries in a
former graft. trial. He had no right
to be there. He doubtless knew as
much. At any rate, Heney did.
When a man is examined for jury
duty, his best course is too tell open
ly of any inability to serve Had he
gone to Heney and told him in pri-
vate that he was an ex-convict, he
would have been rejected for cause.
without any further comment, and the
public would have been none the
wiser, for Heney would have re-
spected him for his honesty. Had he
explained to the trial Judge, he would
have been excused.
Instead he sought to obtain a place
on the jury by concealing the record
Of his life that disqualified him, and
in exposing him, Heney was but per
forming a public duty. His willing
ness to serve and the purpose, may
be better imagined than told.
The attempt to murder the man
who caught him red handed, will not
only prove all the contentious of the
prosecutor, but reveals Haas as a dan
gerous man, who should not be allow
ed at large.
While the cause vas purely person
al, it cannot but have a tremendous
effect in San Francisco, where inter-
est in the graft trials was beginning
to wane. Public sentiment, which
was turning, will now, coupled with
public sympathy, be awakened to the
Importance OF the work that Heney
has been conducting.
That Haas will be placed where he
can do no harm in the future is reas-
enable to presume, while Heney will
go on his way, and prosecute to the
fullest extent of the law, the men who
have robbed the people and who use
such miserable tools as Haas to cover
their infamy.
