A dense critique targets the Anaconda Standard for its shifting stance on bimetallism and the silver debate. The piece contrasts past to present positions, arguing the paper now aligns with gold standard advocates while condemning silver advocates and urging readers to consider political maneuvering and financial interests behind the newspaper’s editorial shifts.
Washington observers say politicians fear that the Democratic party will go it alone in the 1900 campaign as new issues rise to supplant the free silver fight. Cleveland supporters hope imperialism becomes a platform plank while others warn that cooperation with Populists and silver Republicans failed in 1898 and 1896.
An article traces Democratic leaders quietly denying cooperation in key localities, amid accusations of broken loyalty and pre-election scheming. It notes exporting Wheat age and corn figures from Bradstreets, and includes antique quotes about greatness and genius from Parker and Rochefoucaud, ending with a Christmas joke about a candle gift.
The outlaw Mose Miller is in Muskogee awaiting trial and punishment as his Greenleaf mountains associates and former companions are captured or killed. His two imprisoned partners remain in Muskogee while Miller’s lovers face sorrow and revenge back home.
A group of sociable men rode the Central line during a storm disruption. An eastern traveler, visiting from Massachusetts, shared his retirement and family details while a curious Hoosier pressed questions about Detroit and Indiana. The Hoosier then retreated to a quiet corner to end the exchange.
In a crowded streetcar a group of women chatter about a rumored romance involving Charlie and a mystery girl. A gray hat passenger asserts Mabel Thompson may be the woman in question, prompting tense whispers and a clash over privacy and accusations.
A fragment from the era includes a satirical couplet about an infidel and a heated crowd, then a travel deal notice for a January 22 return fare from Butte to Denver offered by the Oregon Short Line with limited return validity. The text shifts to a Montana court notice for the estate of A C White deceased, scheduling February 4 for proving the will and letters testamentary, with appearance rights for interested persons. The document is dated January 7, 1299 and signed Clinton C Clark.
A garbled, OCR-like fragment shows a characterized Christmas scene with muddled names and phrases. The text includes phrases about luck, a person named Pivet Crelin-ey, and a parent’s assertion, ending with “I got a box” as a stray statement amid confusion. The readable content hints at a chaotic psychological or emotional moment without a clear narrative or dates.
A Cherokee girl, scorned by outlaw Mose Miller, summoned U S deputies after Miller drank heavily at a hill settlement dance. As his friends slept off the spree, officers bound and shackled him in a dawn raid, ending his three-year man hunt among the Greerleaf hills southeast of Mort Gibson.
