It is said of Annie Fanteuburg 1G
years old of Sidney that she can go oi t
upon the ranges catch the wildest
horse in the herd rope it throw it and
brand it without assistance then rrtun
to the house and cook a meal that
would tempt the appetite of a pampereu
epicure She is known as the horse
and cattle queen of western Nebraska
Miss Pantenburg lives upon the ranch
of her father late John Pantenburgj
nine miles east of Sidney She is a
typical western girl having been born
on the banks of Lodgepole creek with
in an hours ride of Sidney Her taste
instincts and training are in sympathy
with the freedom of the western prairies
and the buoyancy of out door lief
She is said to have inherited the nerve
and daring of her father who was a
famous freighter between Sidney and
the Black Hills in the early days
Since the death of her father the
young girl has taken personal supervis
ion of the ranch She has 3000 acres
of prairie and hundreds of head of cattle
under her control and concerns herself
very little with spring styles of skirts
or modes of headgear Miss Panten
burg keeps tab on the markets and
does adl the buying and selling for the
ranch fcbe determines when a con
signment of stock is to be disposed of
It is with her that the neighboring
ranchmen confer when the brand of a
maverick is in dispute She is credited
with knowing every cattle and horse
brand in western Nebraska and south
ern Wyoming The Pantenburg fami
ly consists of an invalid mother and
two younger brothers besides the young
mistress of the ranch Exchange
Washington News
Washington June 21 1901 The
same interests the sugar and tobacco
trusts which made Mr McKmle
turn such a sudden summersault on the
Porto Eican tariff question are now
working to nullify the provision of the
Foraker act That act provided that
whenever the legislature of Porto Eico
notifies the president of the IT S that
a system of internal taxation has been
put into effect that wGuld meet the ex
penses of the government of the island
the president should issue a proclama
tion declaring free trade with Porto
Eico and that in any event the tariff
on Porto Rican products should cease
to exist March 1 1902 An extra ses
sion of the Porto Eican legislature has
been called to meet July 4 for the pur
pose of giving the president the notifi
cation provided tor in the Foraker act
and requesting him to issue a procla
mation declaring free trade Thus the
trust interests are working to prevent
on the pretemded ground that the sys
tem of internal taxation provided by
the legislature of Porto Eico will not
provide the necessary revenue but in
reality because they intend to prevent
free trade between Porto Rico and the
U S if they can Their plan is to
compel Mr McKinley to decline to is
sue a free trado proclamation and then
to get congress to amend the Foraker
act extending the tariff on Porto Eic
an products before it expires by limit
ation It is difficult to say what the
result will be Mr -McKinley wants
free trade with Porto Ricb as he did
when he sent his annual message to the
Jast c ingress but the trusts compelled
him to eat his words and do their bid
ding thenand they may be able to do
Russia is hitting back at this govern
ment which the short sighted policy of
the administration has involved in a
lariff war First the Russian duty on
American machinery Was raised and
now the duty on American resin and
bicycles goes up a notch or two When
it is remembered that what wo buy of
Russia is not a drop in the bucket com
pared with what we seJl her the silli
ness of a sj stem of tariff retaliation be
tween the twp countries is apparent
It is quite certain that this sort of pol
icy will not result in extending our for-
eiga markets an object that Mr Mc-

Ains worth Star Journal
Miss Fanuie Clark was in from the
ranch last Friday and took her sister
Sirs liila Johnson back Mrs JLila
will reintiin for several wees enjoying
the pure breeze of Brown and Cherry
counties
Last -week Wednesday Chas M
Stimson an old newspauer friend of the
writer stopped off in Ains worth a few
hours on his way from his home m
Iowa to Valentine It was a mutual
surprise as some twenty odd ears had
passed since we met or had kept tab on
each others whereabouts However
these remarks are made preliminary to
the announcement that Uro titimson
has we understand accepted an ed
itorial aud mechanical position on the
Republican at Valentine and will abide
in the sand hill country for a time He
is a vigorous and versatile writer aud
Bro Barker is to be congratulated over
his addition to the editorial as well as
mechanical force
There is talk of abandoning Ft Nio
brara and some claim to have inside
information that it will soon be in
the handd of an overseer and the sol
diers taken to other posts This is
doieby the author les because we
didnt vote for M P Kinkaid for con
gress They say we are populists up
here and dont deserve anything and
when we have been subdued they will
S2nd soldiers to the post again This
was the argument of the republicans
all the way through the last cam
paign and wound up by keeping 14
away from the polls down to the Fort
refusing to grant them permission to
come up to vote We know of the
party who went down to talk to the
commanding officer calling him out
side the Fort and arrangements were
to keep them at home Our repub
licans rejoiced over it at the time
aud would now rejoice but as these
votes would not have changed the
election in any particular as it was
afterward learned they would now
draw down a long face and talk of
honesty for the purpose of again de
ceiving some voter and cajoling him
into voting for a republican this fall
Their ticket is already planned and
you couldnt change it It has been
fixed up for the past two months and
they are amoni you now hunting for
votes Its a nice little ring and
theyll tell you a nice little story

1 he Industrial Commission has re
ceived a number of affidavits concern
ing the Standard Oil Trust which will
be printed in its permanent report
Following is an extract from one made
by F S Monett former attorney gen
eral of Ohio Campaigns come and go
commissions investigate and legislat
ures meet and adjourn and magazine
article are written and read and yet
through their monopolistic and crimlit
d exactions the Standard Oil combin
ation of transportation and distribution
thereof levy tribute upon the owner of
the oil rock and exact from the consum
er an unnatural profit The public aio
its victims the little band of law viol
ators owning and controlling shares ai e
the beneficiaries of the plunder The
public for a hhort lime stand aghast at
their very boldness and defiance The
government alone can check their
abuses
Senator Jones of Ark Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee
has betn in Washington all the week
He talked freely of the political outlook
but said he wished it understood that
he made no pretense of representing
anybody but himself in the opinions
expressed He thinks that the next
session of Congress will devote a great
deal of time to the Philippine question
with which the Supreme Court has said
Congress alone has power to deal and
that out of the discussion will grow the
principal issue of next years Congress
ional campaign Ought the Constitu
tion to follow the flagV Senator Jones
thinks that we should not control any
people who are not considered good
enough to enjoy all the rights and priv
ileges of American citizens that m e
should assist the Filipinos to set up an
independent government notify the
powers that we will brook no interfer
ence with it and then withdraw our
flag from the Philippines but believes
that a majority of the republicans will
stand by the program of holdh g the
islands for the money that can be made
out of them He said that he would
fight the ship subsidy bill which he ex
pects to see pushed to the front vgain
just as hard as ever that he doubted
whether Babcocks much talked of anti
tariff bill would ever get out of the
House Ways and Means Committee
and rather expected the order of the
trans continental railroad bosses to
smother Nicaragua Canal Legislation
to be obeyed by the lepublican leaders
