we do not want to be happy, so
there is no harm in wishing.
Our existence is something like
the weather from start to finish.
We usually get a little Of every
thing, rain, sunshine, and some
times a blizzard or cyclone gets
a hold of US. We get used to
this after we are old and worn
out and then don't mind it any
more, We are ready to die, and
wish for happy hereafter.
Such is life.

With this issue W. commence
on our fifth year. The past four
years have been very successful
and our little business has grown
far beyond our first expecta-
tions. When the first bird"
was hatched many were inclined
to believed that the life of the
Eagle would be short, and that
we were giving them another
famous "Wh'tehouse" deal, but
that talk is cheap. The Eagle is
here to stay and we hope it will
continue to prosper. To contin-
ue to boost for Ekalaka, Custer
county and the state of Montana
is our aim and with the aid of
our many friends we can make
these boosts coun:.
A large number of the sons
and daughters Of Norway and
many of their friends gathered
At the home of Mr.; and Mrs.
Senre1d Christmas ! ,,x.ys where
they rendered them a merry sur
prise party. Those who attended
had a most enjoyable time and
many incidents of former days
were brought back to memory
during the evenings entertain
ment.
One of the largest dances of
the season was held in the /. O.
0. +. Hall Friday evening, the
music being furnished by the
Akers' Orchestra of Willard.
The Canton boys who were at
the helm of the ship of fun that
evening proved themselves roval
entertainers.
The New Years dance will be
held in the Odd Fellows Hall
this evening, the Akers' orches-
ira having been secured to" dish"
out those melodious strains that
make you want to dance on for
ever. Everybody is invited and
those who attended the dance
last week can rest assured that
another good time is in store for
them.
Advices have been received
here from the Department Com
mander P. M. of Montana to
Custer Canton No.6. That Past
Capt., G. L. Snyder of the Dept.
of Iowa, has been appointed to
inspect the Canton here on the
night of January 4th. AS it will
be a full dress affair, the local
boys are looking forward to the
occasion with a great deal of
dread, cause why???
A new year has taken the place
OF the old one. What will it
bring? Is the question that eve-
ryone ask themselves. we don't
know. We all wish for the best
as 1t is probably the right thing
to do. But one thing certain,
we don't get what we want, and
often don't want what we get.
People wish each other a happy
New Year, that is alright too.

SPANISH DIPLOMAT
AND WIFE PERISH
Meet Death When Apartments In
New York City Burn.

New York. Aug. 30-Thousands OF
curios gathered in many lands and
stacked high in the apartments OF
Hipolito Uriarte, for fifty years a
Spanish consul, fed a fire kindled in
lighting a cigar and blocked the way
of the aged diplomatist and wife to
safety.
Uriarte was found dead, leaning
across a window sill; his wife mis-
took a window leading to an air shaft
for one opening on fire escape and
plunged four stories to her death.
Uriarte was eighty-two years old.
For fourteen years he was a Spanish
consul general in New York. His last
service was in Canada. During his
travels for his government he had ac-
cumulated souvenirs and mementos of
every country in which he had lived.
They crowded every nook and Granny
of his apartments and in the smoke
and confusion resulting from the fire
effectually cut him of from escape.
The fire was kindled, II is believed
when Uriarte lit cigar, which he in
tended to smoke before going to bed

Amendments have been offered
from the Republican side by sena-

would not endanger the bill. Why
then must Democrats be required by
caucus rules to vote against them?"
The insurgent Democrats, who de-

increase the income tax on large
fortunes, apparently had gained
strength and insisted that they would
force the party conf erence to make
substantial increases. Senate lead.
