Published Weekly. - KENDALL, MONTANA, Dec. 15, 1905 The fact that this newspaper ha cated its office in the wedge\ should lead no one to the belief that it is not On \the square.\ The habit that electrieJamps have of suspending illumination is 'exasper- ating. It would never do to publish all the wrathful things that are said when the lights get dim. The fatalities and casualties which lhave resulted from foot ball games this season is appalling. The record shows broken legs, broken heads, broken arms and a long list of other serious injuries. The latest and some- what unique injury, Is that of a Mich- igan player who Is suffering from a broken heart because be made a mis - Slay which lost the game. A professor in an Illinois school has invented an electric paddling ma- chine. The teacher presses a button which starts a series of paddles in ac- tion which plays upon the anatomy of the luckless youth. Patrons of the school in which one of these machines is use• threat to take their children out of 1 school unl its use is discon- tinued. The old ad e tha \Murder will out\ will probab ove correct in the case of the Studzinski affair in Lewistown. The officers have been wOrRing steadily on the case ever sInce the- old- mtatt-was-found while they may yet have much trou- ble in bringing the\ culprit to justice, the fact that they have discovered the place where the goods were cach- ed shows that they are making ma- terial progress. Everyone hopes that the men are found and punished as they deserve. The deputy sheriff at Kendall is un- der a disadvantage in not having a place of confinement for unruly char- acters that are occasionly rounded up. ft an arrest is made and_the-tigender taken to Lewistown It entails unnec- essary expense upon the county and the deputy is out several dollars for personal expenses. It Is not for the people of Kendall that a jail Is need- ed, but for the strays and disreput- able characters that are run out of Lewistown. They come to Kendall because they know there is Immunity here from the calaboose. When guilty of boistrous conduct the deputy . * threat falls upon the ears Of the of - fender as a bluff. Application was made to the county commissioners at one time for a jail. The board grant- ed the application but asked the citi- zens to donate a site. This they were unwilling to do for the reason that they now meet a deficiency In the deputy's salary • After vainly combating In every possible manner her legal prosecutors for three years, Mrs. Mary V. Rogers last Friday paid the penalty with her life for one of the most brutal mur- ders ever committed in this country. Governor Bell of Vermont was besieg- ed with letters from all parts of the .United States, entreating him to com- - Twit* the death sentence to life itn- prisonment but he remained firm against all such appeals and permit- ted the law to take its course. Mrs. Rogers wilfully, deliberately and ma- liciously killed her husband three years ago and shortly after she was arrested, admitted the killing. Eevery process known to the legal profession was used to stay the day of her exe- cution but without avail. It seems a horrible thing,\ the taking of the life of a woman bit the legal process, but the welfare of the great body of Am- erican people demands that our laws forced against the weak as well as the ong, woman as well as man. A REAL SANTA CLADS The crowds of small boys and girls hovering near the counters where hol- iday goods are on display is interest- ing evidence of the eagerness with which they look forward to the com- ing of Chrietmas. But it is the day Itself whose coming the children an- ticipate more than it is the coming Of Santa Claus, as 'this personage, to — to their childish iferiee, has Tont his mythological atteilltftes. It is not infrequent that we hear 11[ 7 tie fellow express the conviction that \There ain't no Santa Claus,\ and when we see them selecting their toys at the%counter we feel pity, for them that they have !WA faith In Mil. They have lost that sentimeq_which is one of the sweetest virtues of all ldhood. Grown folks of today remember that as children they never suspected that toys and such things were mold by storekeepers. They lived - it:ay from cities and old Santa claim; was a real being who came from the north with his sleigh and reindeer. THE OLD PROSPECTOR The Democrat rv.ct-ntly reoeivecl a leng communication from an old pros- pector, a man who with pick and shovel has bored in the mountains of Fergus county for a quarter of a cen- tury, in which the writer complained of the evident lack of appreciation in which the prospector is held gy the average oktisen-anelassipeelatty, the -.a - erase ..tatterlday, arrival in Ma west- ern countri. So far as he Is person- ally „ concerned, the editor of the Dem- ocrat would like to have this impres- sion corrected. Undoubtedly a lack of of thorough acquaintance with the work. done by the old prospector Pre- cludes the deepest appreciation of his worth but the little knowledge that we have gathered and from personal observation has induced in us anlid- miration-which is closely akin to rev- erence for the man with pick and hammer. How little we of the latter day know of the old prospector, anyway. We know that twenty, thirty, forty or ev- en fifty years ago he left a home over on the other side of the big desert, bade farewell to loved ones, felt for the last time the tender embrace of mother, heard the broken voice of father, gazed upon the tear -stained lace of sister and then turned his eyes to the westward. We know, in a gen- eral way, of the privations which he suffered, the obstacles which he met - and overcame, of the hope which led him on, the disappointments and the occasional successes. We know that, as the slow ox team slowly dragged him foot by foot, a weary way over the alkali flats and sun -baked soil where the only growth was the gray sage and the greasewood-away back in those other days, which - happlly for us, are gone, the mirage, that Lorelei of_the depart,uma there to -lure him ha misery; that for years he bunked on the welcome bosom of Mother Earth and was roofed by the star studded dome of blue; that the mountains were his only companions and the moaning of the wind through the woods his only music. Some of us, perhaps, do not stop to ponder the days and nights of weary waiting which have ben that once proudly or ect form, pajaled the once mighty arm and, yerhaps, embittered the once hopeful heart. We know that he was first, the pros- pectof with his pick and shovel and frying pan: that It was he who first made the tortous track out across the sandy waste, over the snow crowned mountains and down to the sweet scented land. warmed by the 4ott breezes from tropic seas; that he built the first house, first drove back the treacherous savage and took from earth's vast treasure house the preci- ous - gold which was placed there by a Creator wise and just._ He broke the trail, the rest of us folloWed. His en- deavors made it possible that we might enjoy the _conveniences and luxuries of the home we left behind. Although this thoughtless genera- tion may forget to give credit due to the old prospector, he has in his own heart sufficient recompense for his sufferings and his trials. To the old prosyector we would say, \If you love the desert and live in it, and lie awake at night under its low hanging stars, you know that you are a part of the pulse -beat of the universe and you feel the swing okthe spheres through space, and you hear through the sil- ence the voice of God speaking. 'Then. you come to know that no better Minis- W- 7 -811ii World for man than just this -the Woes touching of great things,,the undestre of the small -such as the man -crowded places give , you; and just enough food and clothing and shelter to support life and work enough to fill one's days. \Now all of this•belonge to you, Old Man of the desert -the prosepctor who has mad* the desert his own. \So you do not know, neither do I dare say, how- much of the joy of life you find in following the mirage of the mine that leads you away to life's end with empty palms, till at last you lie down in the alkali wastes to be one With the great silence of the plains„ if It gives you much joy to deny yourself all that you would deem vital, as you live out the measure of your days. Pare we give yOtili our unasked pity? Perhipa you bluer mor? of Alti joy of life t,. , ,. -.in all -.,of the devieus ways our quest for happiness have lead us. have ever found. \Some day our destiny may lead its there and lying. -in our blanket some night, under a purple black sky that ts clo ed with ---palpitating stars, while the warm desert wind blows so,ftly over us, caressing our face and smoothing our hair as no human hand ever could, and bringing with us the hushed, night sounds that only the desert knows, then, all alone there with only God and the desert, we will come at last to understand the old prospector and his ways.\ The Dig Day. Saturday was pay day in Kendall. It is called the \big day\ because it comes but once a month and carries with it a \clean-up\ for thirty days of hard digging. The tenth was on Sunday this month and for that rea- son the checks were handed out on Saturday, The boys naturally felt pretty good and an air of cheerfulness was in evi- dence everywhere. The jingle of coin is pleasant music to the ear and es- pecially when it comes in bunches. Pay day in the mining camp is not a season of reckless expenditure of money and carousing. The miners make better use of their wages in buying necessities for the home of by increasing the amount laid by for the proverbial \rainy day.\ There is hardly a man on the pay roll who fails to report for duty the day after pay day. In the printing office it is said that \the ghost walks\ at ten minuets to five on Saturday' night. It is not al- ways a big day with the printers. It is usually a big night. That expres- sion -\the ghost walks\ -would be a very good one for the miners whose fate is to work on the \'graveyard shift.\. Sleighing Party. A party of married folks and young forks which wfitit sleigh riding to the power house Sunday night had almost a surfeit of pleasure and excitement. There was more than enjoyment, however, to make up for the exciting experience and the slight mishaps. The power Rouse is near the Horse- shoe Bar ranch and is kept by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. These good people were taken completely by -surprise when they heard the jingling of bells and the mingling or many-veleea in song. Equal to the occasio they served re- Ireshments and ost hospitable in their treat ent of u xpected guests. Ayoung lady at t power house took a photograph of the party. It was coming home that the mis- hap occurred. The married folks rode in a sleigh by themselves detached chaperones, so to speak, w le in an- other sleigh the unmarried mks were transported. A yoting la who held the reigns directed th igh over a big rock which resulted in it Jaroken runner. Later on the horses were driven into a hidden mine and were submerged Me some thine, but \without injury. Mining Engineers Coming Ak( v )les of incorporation were tiled last eek by the Kendall Extension Gold Mining company. The stock of the company is made tip of 1,000,000 shares of a par value of $1 each. The directors w who_All_kear for the first three months, as named in tEe — att- cies of incorporation, are H. Lang, Charles Allen, John R. Cook, E. S. Kinney. George .J. Bach, and R. E. Neill. A meeting was held at the office of the company Tuesday evening at which a permanent organization was effected and the following officers chosen: H. H. Lang, president; Geo. J. Bach ,vice president; E. S. Kinney, secretary -treasurer. The claims taken over by the cor- poration are the Springer, the Look- out and the Hillside, adjoining the Kendall property on the west. Mining Engineers. At a meeting of the Montana Soci- ety of Engineers in Butte last Satur- day it was decided to hold the annual meeting In Lewistown early in Janu- ary. The president of the society, E. W. King, as chairman of the commit- tee to select the place of meeting re- ported favorably upon Lewistown. President King announced that the principal mining companies of the re- gion about Lewistown, including the Barnes -King, the Kendall and the Gold Reef companies, will act as the blasts of the society at its annual - ban- quet. It is expected that the meeting will be largely attended owing to the freat interest attached to the region which will be inspected. The engi- neers will visit Kendall some time be- tween the tenth and fourteenth of January. at which time an inspection of the plants and mines will be made. Change in Money Orders. The post office recently Issued a new style money order, a consignment of which has been received t the local post office. The only material change over the old style is that the name of the remitter as well as that of the payee is shown upon the order. Postmaster Jackson is of the opinion that this is not an improvement for the reason that there is not the means of identification that existed formerly should an order be lost. The custom was to ask the party presenting an order to name the remitter. Now that the remitter's name is written In the form such a question Is useless.
