HE WILL LEAD
Flatted Tor Stffcbiers
P T Barnum was right when he
Baid the American people like to be
humbugged The truthfulness ofJthe
recaark is exemplified Very ay and
it does sometime seem as though the
bigger the humbuggery the better the
people like it Last week Dr B H
Westfalls Herbs of Health Company
entertained the people of Valentine
with a lot of chpap and vulgar wit and
prevailed upon numerous persons who
are strange to say perfectly Sane to
make them donations of various sums
amounting to from 1 to 25 each Of
coursethese persons received some
thing Tor their money in the shape df
adviceand medicineS Dr West
fall -announced on his first night here
thathis preparation Herbs of Health
preparation but to advertise
It would for that night only sell it ior
1 per -box Of source the price was
never raised to 3 and on the third
night he sold it forl and gave in ad
ditions 50 cent bottle of oil whichwas
guaranteed to cure anything from a
sprained neck down to a corn or
bunion Why it is that people wuTbe
so foolish as to patronize these travel
ing fakirs wheirtheir own townrissup
plied with excellent physicians and
pharmaciesis beyond comprehension
Dr Westfalidid not make so much
money from the public sale of his
remedies as he did from the suffering
humadifcywbo consulted himand his
wife privately That seems tobe their
greatest scheme even as it is the worst
This paper says -nothing against the
efficacy of the remedies sold but the
chances are that they are worthless
Preparations introduced under false
pretences as these were are -generally
goodfor nothing
A6citlcntto Rosebualtace
While maKinghis regular trip to
Kosefeud last -Saturday Jas Wellford
had an experience with ia -runaway
team which might have proven serious
Ashort distance beyondJD D Dunns
the load on his stage began- to -shift
and he stopped the team for the pur
poses rearranging it While stand
ing between the wheelsthe team-started
to run throwing Mr Wellford to
the ground overturning- the stage de
molishing the top and spilling the ex
press Kver all the couutry around The
team ran into a fence a mite or so
away vaud stopped The driver se
cured -the animals picked up the
scattered freight and went on to the
agencyarriving there Sunday noon
MessrsHugh McKeever
Klent Hickson driller and Daniel
bowler assistant nd provider of

day inTjalentine and incidentally told
a little -news regarding -their work
Thegovernment has been driliing this
wellf or about two years and the drills
arenowdown about 2410 feet and
-still goiqg Pipe used is six inches in
diameter and five men are employed
Indications f or striking a good flow of

up in thebuckets let down is so hot a
man cannothold his hand in it
