makes light- of our June races and
boastfully announces what Valentine
will hang up -in purses Valentine is
on the racmg circuit Butte is not and
way off from the railroad but we will
venture the assertion that we will have
a bigger crowd and a better time than
they will at Valentine Butte Gazette
We are sorry that we have stepped
on Bro Armstrongs feelings and hast
en to apologize as we meant not to
make light of Butte and- her races
Wish we could be there as we know
from experience that Butte can pro
duce more fun to the square inch than
any other town in the state except

Tiie Rifle of 1896
We noticed recently in Sports
Afield an article relative to the de
structive power of ancient and mod
ern fire arms The writer claims a
balance in favor Df the ancient arms
Now be is partially right The rifle of
1896 cannot kill the same number of
men at a single discharge as the old
time English blunderbuss and shoot-while-you-wait
musket but it most
certainly is a less dangerous arm- for
the shootera man can start forth with
a gun in those dayswith some hope of
returning alive while in the olden
time he invariably bade his family a
tearful farewell ere departing there
fore while we cannot cover ten acres
of ground with lead at one discharge
we are content to pierce a two iach
iron plate at 1000 yards and go on our
way firmly convincedithat modern guns
are good enough if not quite what they
really ought to be

Everybody is rejoicing over the- ac
tion of the repunlican county conven
tion in giving the people a candidate1
for county attorney whoif elected will
be an honor to the county and his
party also
The near approach of the republican
national convention causes every lover
of his country to wonder who will be
put forward by that party as the rep
resentative of its principles- whether it
will be- the friend of the masses or the
advocate of bonds and boodle and in
the near futurebankruptcy and repud
iation God grant that w may be
spared the humiliation of seeing such
men as Ben Harrison or Crazy Bill
r McKinley in the presidential chair
ren and as the hot close days and J r
evenings of summer are here they like
to stroll or lounge on its- banks This
they cannot with self respect do as
long as you persist in bathing without
suits Several prominent and influ
ential citizens have told The Demo
ghat that if the offense against de
cency is repeated after this warning
they will proceed to prosecute the of
fenders for indecent exposure Thats
all
