TO THE PUBLIC.
A Few Facts Relative to tho Affairs Of the
journal

n Few Fncfs Relative, To tho Affairs OF tho
journal.
The financial embarrassmsn.s of the
Journal do not worry the Helena Herald
half as much as the prospect OF tho Jour-
nails speedy resumption of busineas on a
stronger and better basis than ever before.
No ono can be blind to the purpose Of the
Herald to interiors in every way possible
with the affairs OF the journal, hoping to
proiong ita shutdown by q miarepreaenta-
ton OF it's aIaita. Last night the Herald
published nm article intended to prejudice
the interests OF all concerned In tho welfare
OF the journal. II overlooked several i'm
portant facts:
l. All employees will get every cent duo
them just No soon ~ the forms of law can
be complied with. Every employe knows
this and the mock nympRthy OF ths Herald
would seem more tangible did that paper
have enterprise enough to make a nswspa.
per Of itself and give q few Of the urgent
cases. a job.
9. The Journals shutdown was due to
an old account of long standing. that had
nothing to do with the business status. The
journal was d legitimate business propo-
sition, and it's subscription list alone would
support four snuh papors az this He aid.
The Jou nal was forced TO close down, not
from lack OF business, or public support,
but on account of the company's embar-
in other di setions.
B. The mechanical equipment alone Is
ample to pay three times the debt of the
Journal, and the abatement Of tho Herald
TINT lit was never a business proposition"
ia a lie on the face of it, and malicious in
the extreme.
4. The citizens of Helena remember the
legerdemain practiced by tho proprietors Of
the Herald to save their sheet some yeera
since and enable ii to become even a fossil.
to say nothing Of a business proposition"
The Daily Journal was not only a leoiti-
mate and praissworthy business venture,
with \ patronage that j~ustiies its continu-
ance and growth into one of the largest
Newspaper enterprises in the west, but it's
tenn porary shutdown WAS due to no aauses
att ibutablo to itself or shat reflect upon
its standing as a business proposition. The
extraneous financial I'M ADVERTISEMENTS that
closed its doora, by reason of business ven
lures not personal to itself, do not justify
the efforts of the Herald to mislend the
terprise or its relation to the financial
troubles in which its proprietors became in
velvsd. Pretending sympathy with the I'M
the Herald is s%training every
nerve and pulling every string to
prevent them from again receiving prompt
employment by trying to interfere. to the
extent of its influence, with the steps now
being taken to revive the journal without
unnecessary delay. Let the Herald and its
friends. keep hands of and the sympathy it
expresses Will not be needed, for the Jour
nal will again become q bee hive of indus
try. battling manfully for the best inter
ests of oity and state. and it will again
give employment to scores of men for every
one employed by the Herald.

"McFee of Dublin"

Thursday John II. Kelly M his funny
company come to the opera house, pre-
senting for the first time here a new COM
edy by Charles T.. Vincent and Mr.. Kelly,
entitled melee of Dublin.' The new
piece has been a great success in other cit
les, and is said to be one of the funniest
comedies ever produced. The fun of the
piece is clear cut and wholesome though
out. There is nothing to offend anyone,
bilities. Mr.. Kelly takes the part of
true Lord McFee. The genuine lo,d is
abroad, and in his absence Roger assumes
his lordship's position and makes love to a
girl he believes to be Adelaide Wagner, the
wealthy heiress and opera queen, but AIDE
ladies maid Molly has assumed the mis-
tress' place, and 30 the two servants 60 on
counting one another. each for the others
supposed wealth. In the midst of the love
making the true lord and true opera queen
arrive, and u series of highly ludicrous sit
nations arise. To disclose the development
of the play would be to anticipate much OF
the enjoyment that the reader will experi-
ence in witnessing the play on Thursday
evenings; but all may be assured that affairs
are cieverly tangled and untangled again.
and other fun and frollc galore are the re-
suit. Mr.. Kelly's supporting company is
IN excellent one. including Florrie West,
the charming English soubrette, as the
maid Molly. Adelaide Randall as the opera
queen. and others whose names are promi-
nent in tho comedy world. The sale of
seats opens this morning at Pope & O'Con-
noi's drug store.

Robbed The bank

CoLDwATER, Mimi, March 3.-About
3 O'Clock this morning the Third national
bank of this city was robbed. About
$4,000 worth of bonds were taken with
some gold coin. The robbers drilled the
outer doors of the vault and with a punch
broke the lock off. The middle door was
secured with a paddock. This was broken
with a sledge. The inside vault con-
tanned one burglar proof combination lock
safe and also a steel safe with a time lock.
These were drilled and charged with dyna-
mite. The doors OF both safes were
blown completely off, wrecking both safes
and leaving nothing but a shell of each.
Two explosions were heard by the
people living a short distance from the
bank about 8 o'clock this morning. About
5000 in gold that was badly mutilated and
bent out of shape, and also a quantity of
sllverware, were left by the robbers, to-
gether with some of their tools.
Two suspicious looking men who were
seen in the vicinity of the bank last even
ing cannot be found and are probably the
men wanted. A reward of ! LOCO is
offered TOR their apprehension.

however, as an admission of guilt. The
affairs of the bank are in a deplorable
condition. The liabilities are over 81
900, 900. Many men supposed to be rich
are completely ruined. The bank was
popular with men OF small means and
these have suffered heavily. The feeling
in consequence runs high. Attachments
have been issued against the cable road
the San Diego Daily Sun and other large
properties in which the bank was inter-
ested. Collins has brothers in Shrews-
bury. Pa, and Hebron, Neb., both bank
ers. He was about 43 years old.

dous boom was then beginning to wane.
A majority OF the stock was secured by
Messrs. Davis, Addoms and Hurd. N.
r. Davis continued as president, L. r.
Hurd as vice president and +. E. Addoms
cashier. In the meantime Collins organ
lied the California national bank at San
Diego with a paid up capital stock of
$500, 900 and removed his family to that
city.
In the fall of 1889 Collins bought out
oh and assumed a general control of the
Cheyenne national. The three gentlemen
named retired. Collins became president
of the bank and Geo. L. Beard who had
been assistant cashier was made cashier
and given the management of the details
of the bank. The failure of the Califor-
MIA national last November through Col
Inns connection involved the CHEYENNE
national and caused its suspension. This
with the suicide of the young cashier form
a still fresh story in the minds of the
public.

Suicide of John w. Collins.
by Associated Press.l

SAN DIEGO, Cali, March 3.-This
community was shocked this afternoon
by the suicide of j. W. Collins, president
of the dcfunct California national bank.
He lunched with Gen. Murray and At
torney General Hart, and after leaving
them went directly to bis room and fired
a bullet into his brain. He has been I'M
der a great mental strain for some time.
About two years g his entire family
was drowned in the bay. and now that he
was financially ruined and with a charge
of embezzlement hanging over him. it is
thought he was brought to the point
where he considered he had nothing to
live for. Collins come to San Diego from
Cheyenne, Wyo., where he was interested
in a bank which also failed recently.

Biographical.

John w. Collins was born in Shrews-
bury, York county, Pa, about forty-6ve
years ago. His father was and is still a
banker in that little town. Collins at.
tended the public schools and afterward
was sent to the state normal school at
the M~illersville, Pa. He probably only
attended for one or two terms and GER
tainly never graduated.
He went into his fathers bank at an
early age and there learned the rudiments
OF the business. He became an expert
book-keeper, and in 1879 secured a posi-
ton in that capacity in what was then the
banking house of Stebbins, Post & Co. In
this city. That firm was then doing an
extremely large and growing business.
Collins was soon advanced to the post of
teller and afterward became cashier. He
remained with the bank after the with
drawal of w. r. Stebbins when the firm
was known as Morton e. Post & Co.. and
did not sever his connection with the bank
until the spring of 1885. There was some
disagreement over an alleged verbal agree
ment that Collins was to be allowed to
buy a half interest at the expiration of a
certain time and Posts alleged failure to
carry out this agreement. However this
may have been. the men were never cor
dial friends thereafter.
Collins set about organizing a new bank
and by Jan. 2, 1886, threw open the doors
of the Cheyenne national. N. R. Davis
was the first president of the institution
and Collins the cashier. About two years
later Collins speculative fancy was turned
