Bankers Circular.

There exists in the United States
an association known as the Ameri-
can Bankers Association. The name
implies what the organization is for.
1t has President who resides in
Boston an Executive Committee
whose members reside in different
cities; Secretary who resides in
New York, and Treasurer who
resides in New York. The Associa-
ton affords all bankers in the United
States and we believe Canada, a
means of readily communicating
and harmonizing with each other in
all matters pertaining to the banking
interest. The Secretary does all the
correspondence. The voluble lead

great enmity towards this Bankers
Association. The name of the Secre-

James Buell.. There lately appeared
10 certain newspapers throughout
the country the following circular,
purporsing to be copy of private
circular addressed to bankers:

Two ofthe gang of tramps rendezvous
ing near the Northwestern depot for sever
al days and nights previous, ,were arrested
for various misdemeanors and placed in
the lookup Friday afternoon. The cold
world was sulry compared with the at
mosphere of their domicile and for the
purpose OF warming up they proceeded
to light IRE the only material on hand
for doing SO being pallet of straw on
the floor. This was ignited and soon
smoke escaped from every aperture of the
building denoting that where there was
SO much smoke there must be some fire
to correspond. The alarm of fire was
sounded and soon the street was blockaded
with people with the Phoenix steamer
and gallant fremen bringing up at the
scene ready for duty. But an official rush
INTO the lookup soon subdued the flames
and all fears of the destruction of the
building were allayed in quick order.
The lodgers Immediately threw up their
lease and moved to other quarters.

candidates were returned as having been

Stop that Knocking.

The quiet little neighboring burgh of
Ixonia Centre which always appears to
the passer by so oblivious to the cares,
troubles and turmoils of this mundane
sphere, had its experience with the tramp
nuisance last Friday night at an hour
when all its good citizens were partaking
of that rest that is the out come of an un-
disturbed mind and a clear conscience.
A genuine specimen of the tramp vaga-
bond no sooner entered its limits than
he commenced to make night hideous
door of our friend Ed. Cohoe's house, the
boss track man Of the Chicago Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway, and threa tened to
use his shooting irons if the door did not
open at his command. l. is sufficient to
say, however, that the door remained
locked, Mr.. Cohoe probably being able
himself to give good substantial rea sons
why he acted SO discourteously and cold
ly to his visitor. His trampship next re-

final resort the fellow brought up at

in the basement whiled away the dreary
hours of the night in pleasant dreams,
