Prof. Newman
A Bad Actor

"Newman the Great we'll

the local opera house and in other
towns in the county, according to
the Valley County News, of Glas-
gov, Montana, got himself into Il
peck of trouble there recently and
left town minus about 5000 as a
reminder of the error Of his ways.
1t seems that Prof. Newman had
picked up small boy somewhere
and was using him in the course of
his hypnotic performances. The
boy told a tale of abuse which
savored of peonage and reused the
sympathy of the citizens and an

New Passenger Schedule

A new passenger schedule be-
came effective here the first of the
week, when the time of train No.
3, west bound, was changed from
4:39 to arrive at 4;53 p. m., and
train No. 7, going the same way,
now arrives at S:54 p. m., which is
22 minutes earlier than the old
schedule. The most beneficial
change was made in the arrival Of
No. 6, eastbound, which used to
arrive at 6:lO a. m., but is now due
to arrive at 7:O6, or Sc minutes
later, thus allowing passengers east
an opportunity to get their break
fast before departing.

The party. consisting Of two car

an unpleasant trip owing to the
heavy rains previous to starting
out and few more showers before

The fact that the good people of

together, as they had planned to
DO, so another meeting date was
set for Saturday, May 9th. when
all interested in the movement are

The party took refuge for the
night at the Davis ranch, after
making call at Mr.. Danlis', and

to make hast for the city-but, at
that, they arrived too late for

Tailor Ready for BUSINESS

j. H. Bernhart, the tailor, whom

He will make special effort to
meet the demands for made to-or-

have often been compelled to pur-

also do pressing, cleaning. repair

Fallon County
Makes No Hit
Carlyle People are not
Enthusiastic over
Bakers Proposition

From the Miles City Independent.
Carlyle, Mont, April 25.-The
county division game as being
played has more intricacies than
would appear on the surface, and
unless present signs fail some inter
esting and amusing details will be
brought to light. 1t appears to be
a clear case of "double cross all
around, with the Bakerites as the
star actors. The people of this
burg were inclined to the belief at
first that it would be real good
thing to get into the game, with
Baker as the seat Of government Of
the proposed new county, but down
here We have got over it. We have
come out Of the trance and have at
last come to the conclusion that
we were chasing delusion and
snare.
Baker, Ismay and Ekalaka are
now in for it AMI it will be amuse-
ment for the people of Carlyle to
watch their maneuvers. That they
will be unable to agree is now
foregone conclusion, as ali of the
places are anxious for the county
seat. If there could be three coun.
ty seats, then we could see where
matters could be amicably adjust
ed, but under tine circumstances it
appears to us that it is a case of
loves labor lost.
A remonstrance petition is now
in circulation, and is being quite
generally signed throughout the
proposed new county. 1t is under
stood that it will be presented
shortly after the petition for the
new county is presented by the
bakeries.
Commissioner w. A. Cameron
was here some days ago and went
over the country roads, and the
people here received the assurance
that we would be given much con-
sideration this year, which news
was received with great deal of
satisfaction by the farmers of this
section. With good road facilities
the people Of Carlyle will not be SO
anxious to join the crusade for the
new county seat at Baker.
The outlook for good crops in
this section this year are fine. The
acreage is larger than ever an,l We
have had some moisture. On the
whole the outlook for the future of

Pension Bureau Red Tape.

If Pension Commissioner Davenport is
allowed to have his way he will succeed
in stopping good deal of costly pen
sion red tape which is not of the slight
est benefit to the veterans who are the
recipients of the governments bounty.
Every one of the 100000 benehciaries
on the United States pension list has to
pay at least rs cents in notarial fees to
qualify his voucher for recognition every
three months. Added to this 100000
which is assessed annually on the pen
sioners, there is the cost of clerical serv-
ice at the Pension Office here and in
pension agencies throughout the coun-
try, which is estimated to be an equal
amount, all of which accomplishes moth
ing more than to certify properly the
receipt of the pension.
Several attempts have been made to
abolish this waste. but such proposed
legislation has invariably failed. 1t
is Mr.. Davenport's idea to do away
with the pension voucher as unneces-
sary, accepting as adequate receipt the
returned check. indorsed by the. pen
sioner with two witnesses In this man.
ner he will not only put an end to the
unnecessary fees now assessed on the
pensioners, but, by cutting off principal
source of income for the great majority
of pension agents, will take away the
incentive for the opposition which has
blocked every effort to simplify and
economic in the administration of the
Pension Bureau.

Mere Men,

In the sincerely cordial greetings that
are extended to the D. A. R. when
ever it comes to Washington, one i'm
portant element OF this patriotic body
has too often been slighted. 1t is ST.
lent factor in the organization, the part
assigned to it in the programme being
most obscure. Yet it plays its part we'll
and cheerfully, and gives a generous and
willing support to the whole enterprise.
We refer somewhat timidly to the male
members of the contingent who come
regularly with the organization. and who,
while apparently content to be effaced
and to take subordinate parts in the pro-
ceedings, willingly execute all missions
upon which its members may be sent
and perform formal though very es-
sential Offices in which check books and
bank notes-not of the stage variety
play conspicuous part.
To the great numbers of very estina-
bic and worthy gentlemen who annually
visit Washington with the D. A. R., but
whose luster is dimmed in the rich eff
fulgence of the greatest body that this
country can boast, we extend cordial
greetings and our sincerest tribute of
admiration.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 10. 1911.
Relieving the Mexican Situation.

The assurances of the Mexican gov
eminent that it will adopt a definite re-
strictive policy along the border relieves
situation which was rapidly growing
tense
1t is hardly necessary to assert that
the United States has not now and never
has had any desire to interfere with the
internal dissensions in Mexico. This
country recalls the fact that for four
years it experienced a civil war of great
magnitude, but it was left by all the rest
of the world to work out its own saliva
ton. Our army has no place on Mexican
soil, and an invasion of that territory
would be equivalent to a declaration OF
war
At the same time, Mexico must fight
her battles on her own side of the
border There must be no treSpasslng
upon the American side, and, above all,
the property and lives of American citi-
zens must not be sacrificed. With an
assurance from Mexico that this course
will be pursued, there is no reason to
fear that serious complications will arise.

A New Use for Mistletoe.

In the average mind mistletoe is as
sociated with the merry Christmas time
and as an excuse for osculatory diver
sion The practical character of the
age, however. was never more fully
demonstrated than by the announcement
that the mistletoe is not merely Yule-
tide ornament Clinical and laboratory
experiments have shown it to be pos
sessed of medical properties in high de-
gree
1t has already produced remarkable
results in lowering blood pressure and
as heart tonic. In some phases Of tu-
berculosis it has also proven its value,
and its effect in nervous diseases is said
to be most beneficial. 1t is evident,
therefore, that the farmers who gather
it only once year will now be induced
to overlook the Christmas season and
turn their attention to supplying the
drug manufacturers. We grieve to think
what will then happen. Mistletoe, now
the chief decoration of the parlor chan
delier, will be found only on the chem
lists table, and one of the joys of Christ
mas will be sacrificed upon the altar of

bic and sanitary houses for the poor as
a matter of pure generosity and with
out regard to pecuniary profit. If Mr..
Berger or any one else can propose
plan whereby the condition of the people
in the alleys can be improved without
increasing their cost of living and with
out compelling the property-owner to be
philanthropist, he will render Wash
ington Signal service. 1t may be that
in some instances the property-owner
is realizing an inordinate profit. Whether
a law can be framed which will reach
these cases is a question for the legis-
lators to decide
No apology is needed for discussing
this problem at some length. 1t is a
vital one to this community. 1t concerns
the health and happiness of human be-
ings. Washington has been pilloried be-
fore the nation as a city where all is
beautiful as to its exterior and where,
under the very shadow of the Capitol,
inexcusable conditions are allowed to
exist. The Washington people them
selves are most anxious that all founda-
ton for this criticism shall be removed.
They are jealous of the fair name of the
Capital and they know that nowhere is
there a more earnest desire to secure
ideal civic conditions.
Congress can be. of material assist
ance in the solution of the problem of
the slums, and any step which it may
take in this direction will meet the
hearty and sincere cooperation of the
Washington people.

AMBITIONS OF CONGRESSMAN KONG
He Wanted to Rule Washington and Almost Sc
.>...s cured the Job.

Saturday, and in view of my experience
in the city council Of Baltimore. the
members were disposed to listen to my
advice. I suggested that instead Of the
present management there should be
three committees-the judiciary. the
committee on ways and means, and
the committee on streets and highways.
The plan was favorably considered, and
I suggested that the Craftsmanship of
the committee on highways be given to
me. 1t looked for a while as IL my wishes
would be respected, but Chairman John
son got too inquisitive. He wanted to
know the powers of the committee on
highways according to my interpreta-
ton. When 1 told him that the COM
mittee would have charge of the paving
of the streets and the control of the
police and fire departments, he baked.
The members of the committee got the
idea that I was piggish, and to show
their resentment they gave me nothing.

face the joke seemed to be on him, but

KNIGHT DECISION
NOT SATISFACTORY
Secretary Meyer Resubmits
Case to COurt-martial.

The finding of the court-martial OF
Capt. Austin NJ. knight. U. S. N, presi-
dent of the special board on ordnance,
which has been pending before Secretary
of the Navy Meyer, has been returned
to the court for reconsideration This
action was directed by Mr.. Meyer be-
cause of technical irregularities in the
finding of the court.
Capt. knight was court-martialed on
charges growing out of the recent sink
ing of the monitor Puritan in the New
port News Middle Ground following
ordnance tests on the monitor. The ac-
ton of Secretary Meyer is unusually sig
nificant, because of the prominence Of
the members of the court. which was
composed OF seven rear admirals. The
resubmission of the case with instruc-
tions for its reconsideration is a practical
rebuke to the members of the court.
The court was composed of Rear Ad-
miral Robley d. Evans, president; Ed
ward c. Pendleton, John A Rodgers, AL
bert G. Berry, Samuel P. Comfy. Albert
C. Dillingham;, and Charles E. Fox
Lieut.. Commander Ridley Mclean acted
as judge advocate.
It is believed in naval circles that Capt.
knight was acquitted. The department
declined to make public the nature OF
the technical irregularities which made
il necessary to resubmit the case to the
court.
