This remarkable story will be run serially m
this paper. 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

be the logical conclusion.- Any other
verdict would not seem to the conser
vative reader, to be doing justice to

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.

Everybody should ait up and take

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

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

conclusion, that there are only four

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,

says the Herald, and after cooking it
he invited in a couple of his friends to

second and third rounds, the guests
fell to discussine the contents of
of the dish. One declared it was the

vinced it was neither veal nor duck,
