On this showing the bank would be
able to pay out something over seven
ty cents. but the home paper does not
anticipate u greater dividend than six
ty cents. The nominal value Of the
notes held by the bank Is 7S,6O6.29;
this item In the foregoing statement IL
reduced to $50, ,9O9.29, tor the reason
that of the total amount of $7S,6 ,6O6 -
shown SAC. 1857 .O4 is represented by w.
M. Dustin's personal paper and 5000
by the paper of the Miles City Dressed
Beet company In confessed judgment.
Dustin's paper IL secured by mortgage
ON property which the home paper
thinks will not realize more than
Sl5. 900; and the Judgment against the
Miles City outfit is reduced 10 1850
on general principles. A notable
phase Of the banks affairs is the fac,
that out OF $7S, 608.29 Of loans $61. 1877.
04 was borrowed by Mr.. Dustin per-
sonally or for his Miles City venture;
leaving only sl6.sl9.25 loaned to GUS
TONERS Of the bank against deposits
aggregating some $74.0 900.

A lady who had evidently had diff
ficulty in securing servant girl to
suit her ideas advertises a- follows:
"If there is any American girl in the
United States who is willing to do
general housework in the country, In
q quiet town where there Is no excite
ment. In a small family with no child
rem, who can attend TO her own bus
iness and not the neighbors', and will
not expect another girl to wait on her,
she will be treated well, have u good
home and receive fair pay; state wages
wanted"

Against this colossal aggreg tie of liza
bilities the company have no assets
save and except the slaughter house
plant which when the liens for labor
aud material are figured against IL wi |
not net much more than figured by
tie Lincoln paper. Whether this res.
idue will go into the Golfers "f the
Lincoln bank, or to partially app.ase
the Montana creditors remains for the
courts to say.
1t seems almost incredible that
$40, 900 could have been sunk in this
business bet wee July and November.
but the loss by fire last July without
insurance and the ruinous contracts
made for cattle readily accounts for
some S45, 600 Of the total. While il has
been very discouraging to us to have
an enterprise over which We built so
much of our future greatness result so
disastrously, we are firm in the belief
that the failure is solely chargeable to
bad management and the disregard of
ordinary business principles and that
practical men can and will take hold
of the slaughtering business at this
aud other points on the railrop d, and
make success OF il.

FISH OF THE FINEST VARIETY
A REMARKABLE SURGICAL
OPERATION.



CINCINNATI, O., Dec. l5.-0ne of
the rarest and most dangerous opera
tions in the scope of surgery has late
ly been performed at the Cincinnati
Hospital. 1t consisted in removing
about three inches of the backbone and
exposing the spinal cord. The patient
was a colored man about 81 years of
age. When first admitted to the hos
pital he was suffering from u terrible
disease, which had broken out over his
head, neck and back in the form of
large abcesses, the chief one Of which
was about the middle. of the back and
had eaten away the backbone to a con-
siderable extent. The poor fellow
could not lie in recumbent posture
nor on either side, IN consequence of
the extreme pain attending such posi-
tions, and was compelled to lie all the
while on the tace. Slowly be had
lost the power of motion aud of sensa-
lion 10 the legs, so that be was com
pletely paralyzed from his body down.
1t was decided that the only chance
Of life lay in the operation forFemoYal
of the backbone, so as to stop the pro-
CESS Of decay. He was then turned on
his face and the surgeon made an In
cision down the spine. A large quan-
tity of pus was revealed aud the cavity
sponged out carefully in order to see
Just where the knife was going. In
this region, where one slip If the knife
or one false move would have been
fatal TO the patient, the surgeon, with
chizel aud hammer, went down on the
bone until he cut out all that was IN
any way affected, never touching the
spinal cord. All causes of supparation
and paralysis were removed, and the
surgeon felt assured power would re-
turn to the paralyzed limbs, and that
time would accomplish the filling up
Of the place where the bone had for
merly been. The patient recovered
from the operation, and was placed in
bed on his face. In three days mo-
tion returned to his legs, and he was
able to move bis feet for the first time
10 nearly a year. About the same time
sensation began to return 10 his limbs.
in about three weeks be could bear
somc weight on bis legs, aud at the
same time assume a position on his
breast aud knees. He at length be-
came strong enough to stand with as.

Mr. w. q. Shaffer, the clever gen.
tleman in charge of the oil well at the
Sulphur mine, was in town last ines
day and called on the EcHo. He
spoke very encouragingly Of the pros
poets OF the oil business, and is ship
ping now on an average of 100 barrels
per month--Datnra fow-whieh is
worth about So per barrel in the New
Orleans market, where it is shipped TO
the Consolidated Warehouse Com
pany of that city. Mr.. II. Nunez,
the pretident of this warehouse com
pany, visited the oil well last week
and seemed perfectly surprised at the
natural flow of this oil, and says it is
superior lnbricater and sells at a
better price than any other oil in the
market, and that he could find ready
sale for 500 barrels per month if he
could get it.
