Read what die critics say of it: SL Paul Dispatch A compellinf interest biases the reader in favor of this tale, which, with a wealth of dramatic power, reaches its climax in a description of the Custer massacre. Injustice makes men restless, and Bob Hampton was no mean specimen, but the love he bears his old commander, .General Custer, like a magnet draws him with unfailing fatality, so that, with his old company, he, reinstated, falls with that gallant leader. Hoajstoa Oironicle The story is decidedly the best Mr. Fairish has written, and the popularity .of his former vol umes in connection with the excellence of this' latest will make it one of the widely read novels of the day. In this story he has, perhaps, reached the summit of his art. The little Rock Gazette This is one of the strongest, most virile stories of the year. The author has had several successes. This latest should eclipse them all. The Portland Oregoniaii Mr. Parrish can rest assured that in writing this military tale he has created a true American novel on rational lines. Chicago Daily News The best and strongest story in the line of succession from Mr. Parrish' s pen. The story ia complication and characterization is wonderfully clever, the elements of suspense remarkably sustained, while its at mosphere of mystery is as' strong and its purpose as deep as any that ever entered' the most subtle, ainating mood of Sherlock Holmes. innuing American novel by Kandall Parrish. Like its predecessors, it commands attention from the start and holds the interest absorbed by its continuous action. Furthermore it is a notably well written story, exhibiting the author's.rare sense of dramatic values. Grand Rarjade Herald The novel, Bob Hampton of Placer," marks it not only as the best by Mr. Parrish but as probably the strongest in human ( interest of the season. Seldom has any novel exceeded it ia virile strength and the quality that arouses the emotions.

' The talk of war between the Unit ed States and Japan is rapidly subsid ing. Our General Sheraaan amid, "War is hell" and very expensive. War builds op patriotism, but is so destructive of life and property that we sincerely hope this country will always be at peace with the entire world. Japan certainly is not in a position to tackle a world power like ours, and she will never attempt it The law department of the United States government is now investiga ting the American tobacco trust. It is claimed that it is one of the most vicious trusts in existance, strangling all competitors, not alone in the sale and manufacturing of tobaccos and ci gars, but also controls and dictates the raising of tobaccos and fixing .the prices. Most of us also have it in for the American tobacco trust for the rank five-cent cigars they have pot upon the market. The last legislature of Nebraska re duced all express charges in the state 25 per cent, the law to go into effect at the beginning of July. The ex press companies are endeavoring to ignore the law and the attorney gen eral of Nebraskalias gone before the supreme court to compel the compan ies to obey the law. There are some people who think there is an injustice done the railroad companies when the law tries to make them reduce their rates arbitrarily, for railroads do much good in helping to build up the coun try) they increase the value of all real estate ond farm commodities, and add to the comfort and happiness of all concerned, besides railroad companies have been gradually reducing their rates voluntarily. But express have no soul at all. They have never been known to reduce rates or improve the service. They pay the poorest wages and always try to have boys do men's work so they can get cheap help. They always try to charge all the traffic will bear and they are in oppos tion to the government and the banks by doing a banking business. By ay means, let us regulate the express companies, they have been charging exhorbitant prices long enough. The Haywood trial is fast approach ing the end. Already both sides have rested and the evidence in rebut tal has begun.

Jf y m w be the logical conclusion.- Any other verdict would not seem to the conser vative reader, to be doing justice to 11 a.l J ail conoernea, especially as wis a tance.- Evidence has shown that all parties concerned have gone beyond the limits prescribed by law while maneuvering to get control one of the other and therefore it is expedient that a verdict be rendered in conform ity with the evidence. As to a direct question implicating the parties in question, air as yet is but circumstantial evidence and if the testimony of such black criminals as Orchard, whose very testimony savors of that which is bought with a price, the filthy lucre for which he has re lentlessly steeped himself in the blood of innocent men. is to be taken as a truth, God nave mercy on our. courts of justice. His own acts have been corroborated, let justice take its course and thereby rid this country of one of the blackest self confessed crimin als God ever let live. Mere Juga. We cannot help but believe there is a deeper seated meaning in the ac tion of our war fleets, than can' be safe ly given to the people at the present tune. By this statement we do not wish to be termed an alarmist nor do we wish to convey the idea that there is any eminent danger of war with the foolhardy little giants, but we do mean to say that there are reasons for said actions evolved from the very words of the Japanese officials regard ing the little episode in California. To say the least, those words were very pertinent, and had they been ut- terred by a child to a high-tempered parent.it is sate to say tne little one would likely have gotten his jaws slapped quite vigorously. The weight of the words themselves imply, that this nation must regulate its domestic aflairs to suit all foreign nationalities or the offended nations would see to it that they were regulated. Since their little war with the Czar they are very egotistic and self-important and it is during this state of mind that an indi vidual, or set of individuals, or indeed a whole nation is to be feared. It is not necessary to state, however j that we have little to fear from this source so long as Uncle Sam's big fleets trav erse Pacific waters. These vessels will beat the Hague conference all to thunder as a strong organization for peace because behind and in them is the world's strongest and ablest for battle. like a dove of peace, France has offered to act as a mediator, where, so far, there has been nothing to medi ate, thereby insinuating that there will be something doing. Seeks aadlyss. Some people are always entertain ing angels. Its perfectly natural that Ham mond should favor Reese. The dub that conscience weilds is well spiked and its always swinging. Uy now, don't you feel better since Teddy started that fleet to the Pacific. When great corporations disobey the law too much should not be ex pected of us little fries. It might be well for the Tribune to ask itself; "where are we at," in re gard to Supreme Judge, There are some people who are never satisfied bocaase they can't pat two and two together and make five., Haven't heard a single Pop or DenMcrat reaaark that a "rich man can evade the law," since the Rocky John deal. Have you? - The American tobacco trust's' pro duct ought to go 'through the pure food sweatbox. Let's see, is tobacco a food? Ia Saturday's Star we note these words in big headlines: "Peace Con gress Agrees oa War" That's jaet what we expected. , Ex-Governor Mickey went to Iowa kat fall expecting to make that his future home, bat on a recent vast to his farm near Osceola in Polk county, in this state he felt so much better that he has decided to return to that place. It realy does do a fellow good to get back home sometimes. All Kansas ia looking at Nebraska hoping that they may see their fool hardiness in the two-cent fare deal Everybody should ait up and take notice that government envelopes have "gone up" 4 cents per thousand. Now, who's getting the rake-off. -From all appearance summer is about to set in, in this locality. But don't get so wise you can depend on appearances. Little girls have got just as much right to due-up their haic in topknots on top of their head as the boys have to part their hair in the middle and smoke them nasty cigarettes. It makes them look so pretty and girlish. If Mayor Schmits should run for mayor of San Francisco next spring its more than likely he will pass thru a few Schlitz before the campaign is over. All Japanese employed in the United States navy yards at Manila have been premptorily fired as spies. Now the Japs will have another bone to gnaw. It will soon be time for the politi cians to pick the harvest of plums and lemons at the executive office grounds. Reports from authentic sources say that the crop is just as good this year as in former years. Are you a candidate on the sugges tion and advice of many friends thru out the county. If so, beware! Bet ter start out on a good foundation of sound principles, in which the people have faith. One exchange asks, "What's the matter with Judge Sedgwick." Ano ther asks, "What's the matter with Jndge Reese." The deuce! Can't a man run for office without having something the matter with nim. In spite of the fact that the Brad- shaw Republican declared it would npt support a man who used intoxi cants in any form whatever, there were twelve announcements in that paper last week. Didn't know there was that many candidates of that sort in Nebraska. Now comes the Aurora Republican (Abbot's masterpiece of literary gen ius) and mentions the name of Dr Osier twice on the same page. Such fools don't deserve mentioning not even in cases of extreme necessity, for there are others of a little better grade. After regaining our equilibrium and thinking the whole thing over since the Fourth we have come to this conclusion, that there are only four kinds of real damphools in this world, a v a viz: inosewno cnensn usiers oe lief, the man who rocks the boat just for fun, the fellow who doesn't know it is loaded, and the toy pistol kid sprinting for a lockjaw finish. A phase that the railways of Missou ihad not considered regarding the 2-cent fare when they consented to a three months' trial, was the fact that a great quantity of mileage books will be bought in the state for .which ser vice must be rendered after the three months' period.' From this it would seem that the residents of that state are a little leary as to the test prov ing satisfactory even to their own ben efit Or else Folk has deliberately handed the roads a lemon. John Heaney of Newman Grove, caught a turtle one day last week, says the Herald, and after cooking it he invited in a couple of his friends to paitake of the delicious dish of "Side hill rabbit" After eating of it heart ily and passing up their plates for the second and third rounds, the guests fell to discussine the contents of of the dish. One declared it was the finest duck meathehad ever tasted, while the other swore it was a choice cut of veal But after being con vinced it was neither veal nor duck, it is not necessary to say what they did whsa they went out behind the AdamBreedeoftlw'TribuBe aad the Hastings Sonnet poet, relieves hinwalfthosly: . -Tfck bteoaaia' waataar aaakea i Italia aw fall of isa.
