LIVELY STOCK OPERATIONS.

The current Of recent events has
given great impetus to business in Wall
street, and many successful turns are
reported where immense profits are
made in short periods. The most sue
cessful way that we have heard Of yet
for operating in stocks is by the Com
bination Method Of Messrs. Lawrence
81 Co., Bankers, New York. BY this
system thousands of orders In various
sums are pooled into one vast capital
and operated under the most expert
enced and skiiful management, thus
securing to each shareholder superior
advantages and profits, not possible in
any other way. Profits are paid at end
Of 30 days. A gentleman in Boston,
made STAT, 80 on an investment Of 800.
Many others are doing as well or better.
Capital In any amount from $40 to 81
10000 can be used with equal proper
tionate success by this Combination or
Cooperative Method. SIS would make
S75, or 5 per cent. on the stock; 800
would return 5000, or o per cent during
the month, and so on, according to the
market. The new circular contains
"two unerring rules for srccess'' and
full information, 80 that any one can
operate with profit. Stocks and bonds
wanted. Deposits received. Govern
ment bonds supplied. Apply to Law

well as of England, which church was
supported by forced contributions from
the Irish people, though its doctrines
was abhorent to them.
The representation of Ireland in the
British parliament is entirely inade-
quate when compared with that OF
England and Scotland.
In every way since the union in 1900
has Ireland been treated with gross in
justice, her rights ignored and her in
terests neglected. Previous to that
time It was looked upon as a s~ubjugated
province with no rights that the con.
queror vas bound to respect.
In the time of Elizabeth and during
the protectorate Of Cromwell the island
was a scene of bloodshed and rapint
rarely equalled. In the light Of ouI
own advanced civilization the worst ex'
ertions of misrule have ceased, but Ire
land still comes beneath the master:
lash and should the present discomfort
ripen into open rebellion, and the rebel
lion mature into a successful revolu'
tion and the whip of the English tasi
master be wrenched from his grasp,
every individual who desires the wei
fare Of. his fellow men would exult will
the sons Of Ireland to behold the op
pressor stricken and the shackles OF
Old Erin broken forever.

vices.


vices.
The following from the Pioneer Press
in regard to the case of John BREWER,
a noted scout of General Miles contains
some interesting facts in regard to Sit
ting Bulls band Of hostiles:
Gen. Miles best scout is in the Cass
county Jail awaiting the verdict of the
United States grand jury in November.
John BREWER, the half breed, was re-
Gently arrested at Fort Keogh upon a
complaint charging him with the MUIR
der Of a nan named MCGEE at the
Grand river Indian agency, below
Standing Rock. Your correspondent
had an interview with BREWER and
learned that McGee was dealing foul
blows upon the head Of his brother.
With natural instinct John interferred
with q club that sent MCGEE to his
grave next day. BREWER skipped out
from the agency aud put in two years
among the hostile Sioux. In October
1875. General Miles sent for him and
took him into his confidence and en-
ploy. BREWER proved himself a faith
fuy ally and friend. He knew the Sioux
character as well as Sitting Bull. No
Indian trick was a mystery to him.
General Miles rates his service very
highly. . He carried the generals COM.
mission to Crazy Horse, demanding
that warriors surrender. He read to
him In Sioux, and bore back to the
white chief Crazy Horses pledge that
he would pack up and skurry back to
the Red Cloud Agency. In the winter
of'76-77 BREWER visited Sitting Bulls
camp and talked with the Indians just
as IL he wasn't an hireling Of Uncle
Sam. On all his missions he was Brew
Ter. His visit was spiced with an at
tempt to kill him. A warrior seized
his gun, and in a second would have
ended his career. A crowd OF friends
stopped the impudent man. The hos
tiles told him that General Miles sent
him into their camp to get killed. They
thought Miles wanted an excuse to
make war up them. TO beat Miles
seru'egy tney spared ms lie. As long
as q Indians held that opinion John
couia 80 ana come as ne pleased. They
wouldn't tell him their plans, but he
