Scattered somewhere along the line of
the Great Northern railroad between
Sioux City and this point is a large
amount of paper consigned to this office
which has been on the ro.ul for gvit four
weeks, and once more we are compelled
to issue The Nxwr in h reduced form,
which we hope will not occur again, but
cannot be helped at this time.

If the president of the exposition needs

The news that railroads will issue re
turn passes to shippers of stock will prove
welcome news to the cattle and sheep
men of Montana, as well as to the small
farmer.
Those who have held that Montana
never has any sprii g are compelled to
admit that they behove in exceptions to
the rule and that at present we are en
oying one of them.
Several of Montana’s big newspapers
are devoting much space to proving that
Senator Clark is not a sick man, That
is evidently done to divert public atten
tion jrom the sickness of the Democratic
Darty in this state.
Mm Carrie Nation is now the great

acknowledging that she is a freak, she
appears to be in full accord with the
American public.
With the compliments of Mr. Geo. M.
Hays, Secretfiry of State, we have re
ceived a copy of “Election Laws of the
State of Montana- for 1904.” It ia a
valuable document to every voter in the
state. We accept it with thanks.
Republicans all over the state look
most kindly upon Lee Mantle as the
next governor of the st^te of Montana, tm
in every quarter his name has beeen
received with the warmest commends
With Booet veli for pn rideot, Mantie for
governor and Brant h for chief justice,
the republican ticket would present such
a strong iine-up as taMnake its success
certain.

In the land < fßce here, before Register
Burlingame and Receiver Benton, thert
will be heard on .lune 14th, a contest
against a desert land entry in which the
contestant makes the somewhat uncon
ventional allegation that the claimant
was under 21 years of age when the filing
was made and whs therefore not qualifi) d
to take up and hold government land.
The contestant is John W. Musgrove and
the defendant Mary A. Pauley. A d» ert
land entry near Harlem, in Chouteau
county, is involved. Mary Pauley filed
on the tract July IH, 1902, and in bis
affidavit of contest. Musgrove alleges
that hI-o was not then 21 years old.-

A newspaper owes a duty to the pub
lic which few outside the editorial rooms
realize. News of public interest may not
rightfully be suppressed. Although a
few personal friends of one who has be
come implicated in some action of public
interest may strive to suppress any de-'
tads, yet the Incomplete public know
ledge of the affair must be stimulated
and corrected by any public print claim- ,
to be a newspaper. For the half dozen 1
whom the editor may wish to oblige by
suppressing legitimate news there is ar
rayed against the pAper the dissatisfac
tion of a majority of subscribers who ex
pect, and light fully, to be apprised of
such occurrences and enlightened as to
motives hnd results.
Attention is called to an article up
another page in regard to the planting"
of a large quantity of sugar beet seed
which has been sent to the ranchers of
1 his vicinity for free distribution. The
chum has been made in some of the state
papers that sugar beets need large quan
titles of water, but from experiments
made on the ranch of Hon. T. M. Ever
ett, at the outskirts of this .city, it has 1
been proved that they need only- a very
small quantity of water for the best re
sults. It is understood that an eastern
concern stands ready to put. in a large
refining plant in the Milk River Valley
if the experiments in the valley round
about prove successful, and of which
t here is ro question. The citizens of
Harlem should bring the matter to th*'
attention of the promoters and have the
factory.located here in the midst of the
growing beets. A quantity of the seed
will be taken to the experimental farm
111 the Cherry Patch Ridge and tried on
that soil, which is said to be just moist
enough not to need irrigation ot any time
of the year, and which is also very rich.'
Ranchers can procure the seed by calling
on Hom ’l’. M. Everett or Major Logan
nt the Agency.

MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
•emeitic Orders Aloue Last Year
Amonntc.l t > $3 I 3.000,000.
Few who fill out occasional money
orders at their local postoffice stop to
think of tj£* almost unlimited number
of similar orders which are Issued
dally throughout th - country, much
. less do they realize the enormous
1 amanni of labor involved In handlin;
' the millions of dollars thus deposited
1 with the United States postal em
ployes. If one takes into consfdera
tion the 3ft,000 money order offices un
der our government alone, im ludiiig
Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Porto Rb •
It will be eaater to gain an adequate
Idea of the work of keeping track :
the 50,000.<)00 of these vouch rs
which pass through the hands of out
p ^masters every car.
Yet all theec moi y orders, which, as
blanks. were sent out in book form
ami by serial number, though they are
widely separated and travel thousands
of milt'S, with handlings by many p •• •
pie. are brought back after use. an I.
like tlie parts of every well rognlnb I
system In the heavens above or ''l
earth beneath, are restored to th r
original form- for onee more they ara
placed In proper succession hi book
The headquarters foi these juco
spicuous, but. nevertheless, consaqui n
Hal slips of paper are iu the office of
the auditor in the post office building
at Washington. The accounts of all
the post musters are settled’ here,
where weekly Ai>d monthly statm
comprising hundreds of sheet 4
of figures, are sent for inspection.
I>arge chy offices sometime* send
weekly NAJ sheet or thirty-six col
umns of figures. * .rumernttog each of
the hundred thousand or more orders
accompanying them. To compare and
settle accounts as vaat as these, to in
apcet and verify them, assort, label
sod. file them, is only a skeleton part
of the work required of this bureau.
When oue considers the fact that
during the first year of the money or
der system, which was started in 1664.
only a little over $1,000,000 was Issued
In domes: m orders, as set up against
the $313,090,000 of the year just end
ed, some idea of its growth may be
Imagined. Money order offices are
springing up all over the country,
8.000 of them having been add'd since
July 1 last. This is due in a large
part to the opening up of the West
and to the greater free delivery facili
ties. In one week over $750,000 is
P id in the Chicago office alone.
CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
UnnnturQl Parent# Who Shockingly

It. is the common and not ill-founded
b. lief that parental love is one of the
Lxed and elemental Instincts of the
human, as well as the brute, creation,
and that it may generally be trusted
to protect tender and helpless cbihl-
L< od from intentional cruelty’ and
abuse. But Jie records of our police

It is said that nothing is sure except
death and taxes, but that ia not alto
gether true. Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption is a sure cure for all
lung and throat troubles. Thousands
can testify to that. Mrs. O. B. Van
Metre of Hhepherdton, W. Va, says, “I
had a severe case of Bronchitis and for
a year tried everything I heard of, but
got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery then cured me absolute
