MT Editor: Will you kindly print this little story in your good paper for it is written as a note of warning to our young people and older ones as we'll. Newtown has made name for itself in surrounding towns but it has remained for one district to have an example of fiendish cruelty and mean revenge. Residing in said dis trict is a family held in respect by all good citizens. To the wife in the home had been given fine kitten of unusual breed and special intelligence. As lit tie animals will, this cat soon made itself a place in the affection of it's owners and rid the house and barn of rats and mice. Neighbors not far away noted this pet and supposedly because of i'll will threatened its life. No at tention was paid to the threats but one day the pet failed to appear, and no calls ayailed to entice it home. After three days the nearby fields were searched and the kitten finally discov- cred caught in fence. A stout fish cord had been tied securely about the kittens paw andithe other end Of the line fastened to a wire pail handle. This having caught in the tence the cat was kept prisoner, and when found the paw was quite lifeless. To make the story more pathetic this was a mother cat and the pain it had endured those hot summer days caused it upon release to give birth to litter ot dead kittens. The poor lifeless paw was given the tender care humans would have had and after days of suffering, after part Of the foot had decayed ana the nails dropped off. it healed and the 1 little animal was active agaln, ohly that the lost nails were sad drawback in its hunting. Some weeks went by and again the pet, was missing never to return. While there is no evidence | it is only natural to think d second at tempt on the part of its enemy was successful; and recently fish was found lying on the ground outside the buildings and poisoned, supposedly fol the dog. Fortunately it was found
 early by the man of the house before
 mischief had been done. If this should
 be read by the person or persons re

The first thing that is to be done about raising tobacco is to SOW the seed. By-and-by there are plants to be seen. And pretty soon they are ready to be set out. Before they are ready to set out the ground has to be plowed and narrowed, marked, ridged and marked again. Then the men take up the plants and they have to have some one to drop the plants for them.to set. The men have to set the plants on the ridge. When it is hot weather they often have to water it if they want it to live. Also they have to poison it because the worms would eat | it up. Then they do not touch it again until it begins to grow. Then it has to be hood and hilled up. Next has to be topped and suckered. Then it has to be cut and hung in the barn until it has cured down and when there is a storm if it gets damp they take it down and strip it and put it in bun dies. By-and-by the buyers come around to buy it. But not very often the seller and buyer can agree about the price. But very often the seller asks too much for it. Sometimes they can agree upon the price and sell it. Then the tobacco is put into the cellar to damper sometimes and seller does not have time to put it in the cellar be- cause the seller has to take it off just as soon as the buyer notifies the seller Then it is ready to be taken off. Wher the men get to the car they put 1t into the car. First it is weighed and the owner gets check and the men that weighs it tells the owner to go to the bank to get his money. Then the own CT comes home very happy.

SIMS ELY TO GET POSITION OF
AUDITOR.
lFrom SUNDAYS Dailyl


Sims Ely, private secretary TO Gov
ernor Kibbey, will be the next Terri.
torial auditor TO succeed Auditor Page,
who will take the Office Of secretary of
the Territory on April Z. This ap-
pointment was decided upon at the
announcement of the appointment Of
Mr.. Page. II was thought better though,
TO await the action of the senate on
the nomination of Mr.. Page before an
nouncing the selection Of his successor.
The course of the senate was fore.
Swallowed yesterday in n dispatca from
Washington stating that the committee
on Territories had recommended his
confirmation.
II was then positively given out that
Mr.. Ely had been chosen for auditor.
A rumor TO that effect had become eur.
rent within the last two days, so that
the confirmation of IL did not come as
a great surprise.
The appointment Of Mr.. Ely will be
entirely satisfactory on all sides, His
long and able service as the private
secretary Of Governor Kibbey and his
previous connection with the admins
tration Of Governor kibbey in Tho
same capacity have brought him into
touch with the duties Of the office Of
auditor, His appointment is especially
gratifying TO the newspaper com
munity, Of which he was formerly q
distinguished member.
Concerning the appointment Of Mr.
Page, there is one man who seems "a
be dissatisfied. That is Delegate Smith
who did not recall Mr. Page lie couid
not say whether or not he was resi-
dent of the Territory, but he said: 81
suppose he is IA Rough Rider '~- Phoc
