The assessor has started on his an

and the unjust.
Chas. Lane , of Brownlee , deposited

and will read this household necessity
during the coming vear.
Messrs. Quigley & Chapman have

Several of the regular army were
in town Friday looking for three of the
soldiers who had become weary of
army life and jumped their jobs.
There Is a rumor in the air that a
new passenger train is to be added to
this end of the road. The people
hereabouts would not object to such
an arrangement.
Chas. J. Gylenflect , the tailor at the
post , died on the oth inst. from heart
disease. He was born in Stockholm ,
Sweden , and was 58 years old at the
time of his death. He leaves a wife
to mourn his loss.
The sheep men of Wyoming and
Utah are rapidy taking steps to freeze
the cattle men out of western Wynm-
ing. In doing ao they are purchasing
the land , thus doing away with the
free range. So far this month the
Union Pacific has sold lands to the
sheep men as follows : Hiqh & Gir-
rard , 5,000 acres ; Hatch Bros. , 7,000
acres ; W. G. Forney , 6,250 acres ;
Fred Kindtt , 9,500 acres. Another
deal is about closed by which a firm
of sheep men are buying 23,000 acres
in Carbon county.
Speaking of advertising , it is' well
to remember that the merchant who
advertises is the enterprising fellow.
He is a pusher. Advertising in the
newspaper is not the only way he
pushes. It is just as natural for him
to keep the best goods and make the
lowest prices as it is for him to adver
tise , and he does. The enterprising
merchant would "rather make many
sales on a smairproflt'each $ hafl a 'fc _
sales on a large profit each , and he is
the man who advertises. Hooper . , . Sen- .

T-he remains of a stranded troupe
struck town last Thursday and billed
the town for a show at Cornell's hall ,
and a fair crowd turned out to greet
them. The Irish comedian , the bar
rel jumper and the slack wire per
former were above the average. The
"phenomenal lady baritone51 was
about the size of a baby elephant and
when she gets more practice will be a
strong rival of the Cherry sisters , and
the other woman , who wore a grey
dress cut low at the top and high at
the bottom , has evidently missed her
calling when she took to the stage.
For a small C9mpany , however , they
At this time of the year all sorts of
medicines are offered as a cure for
"that tired feeling" but nothing un
der the sun but time will give relief.
The large ranch and all the cattle
belonging to Dr. .1. L. Wortman , P.
V. and O. A. Peterson , in Rock county ,
has been sold to J. B. Young , of Iowa ,
or 830,000
The appetite of the editor of the
Butte Gazette is evidently on the im
prove. He advertises that he wants
a load of hay on subscription and
wants it bad.
J. E. Hendrlcks , of Cody , stopped
off in town Tuesday evening. He was
en route for Ainsworth , on business.
Mr. Hendrtcks was formerly proprie
tor of the Dew Drop , at Cody.
Mark Cyphers has received his new
incubator and now he is telling how
he wound the thing up and started it
going and the next morning had nine
chicks in it. That incubator is a
dandy and it would give us pleasure
to herald its virtues at regular ad
vertising rates.
N. S , Rowley , of Kennedy , is con
vinced that advertising pays , as far
as the DEMOCRAT is concerned. A
short time ago he advertised for some
of his horses which had strayed off
and now he writes us that he has found
them. There's no use talking , adver
tising in the DEMOCRAT pays.
Fred Reno , of Rushville , sent a let
ter through the mails in which lit
threatened to wipe a neighbor off the
face of the earth. He has been sen
tenced to a year in the penitentiary ,
where he will have ample time to re
gret his stj'le of notifying intended
victijna of their approaching doom.
Joe , Marshall was quite seriously
hurt out at the stone quarry last week
by a can of powder exploding in his
hands. The flesh on his hands was
burned to the bone and his face was
also quite severely burned , the eyelids
being-almost completely burned off.
He is reported as getting along fairly
well and will probably not lose his
eyesight.
The business men of Rusbville hold
regular meetings and at their last
one the resolved that the proposed
land leasing bill was against the best
interests of every citizen in Sheridan
county , and they charged that it was
being railroaded through congress
without giving people and chance to
be heard. A committee was appoint
ed to circulate a remonstrance. Lin

The Knights of Pythias of Valen
tine gave a social and smoker to their
friends , Tuesday evening , and the af
fair was a complete success. Card ? ,
cigars and a social talk were the pro
gram until about 11 o'clock , when re
freshments were served. About thir
ty were there and they don't care
how soon there is another social just
like it. Like all other live lodges ,
they are royal entertainers.
The DEMOCRAT stated last week
that when the fraternal hall was com
pleted there would be an appropriate
opening by the Masons and Workmen.
Some of our readers have under
stood it to mean that there would be
a joint entertainment of the two
lodges and wish us to state that there
is no arrangement for anything of
that kind. We made the statement
on the supposition that any lodge
vrould be proud enough of such an el-
legant new home that they would have
an opening that would astonish the
natives.
