AROUND AND ABOUT.

Character is the only bank that
never breaks.
The body of Flora Bradley, the
eighth victim Of the Benson food, was
found yesterday
Sunday was the hottest day so far
this year. The thermometer register
ed SO degrees, and the weather bureau
promises still warmer weather.
A heinous case of assault, it is
charged, was committed at Lancaster,
KY, late Saturday afternoon upon
the fourteen. year old daughter of
James Stewart, a farmer living near
town, by William Henry, married
man, with wife and two children.
Henry was near neighbor and init.
mate friend of the Stewart family,
and was often visitor at their
house. Saturday afternoon the four
teen year-old girl, named Nora, was
sent to the Henry house, which was
only few hundred yards distant, to
find some strayed goslings As she
was returning through the fields and
while near some bushes, it Is alleged,
Henry seized and assaulted her.
Henry was arrested by Deputy Sher-
if Lawson, and lodged in jail In
dignation is running high in that
neighborhood, and strong threats OF
lynching are being uttered against
Henry. The persons are all we'll
known, and the affair is causing
great excitement in the community.

The free silver daily, which will be
started in this city on Aug. Is, under
the editorial management of the edi-
tor of The Critic, gives every promise
of the greatest success. Within the
past week, fully 500 letters have been
received urging that the paper be
started at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and pledging generous support.
One of the features of these com
munications is that every one of them
denounces the Courier j ournal for its
desertlon of the Democratic party,
and further states that the Democrats
outside the city of Louisville are re-
using to take Mr.. Haldeman's paper
and will have nothing more to do with
it. Indications are that the Dem.
ocrat will start of with daily circu-
lation of not less than $1,000, and
that that figure will double before
the paper is two weeks old.-Critic.

Every year we nav brought to our at
tention by the enterprising management
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. that
this system is the one hat takes the trav-
eier to the Yellowstone park.
1t is well we are reminded of this, for in
our eager pursuit of wealth and pleasure
we lose sight of this wonderful region, and
of which we have sue a limited knowledge.
Great wisdom was shown by the govern
ment in securing this park for all time to
come for future generations, and the time
will come when not to have visited this
famed region before going abroad will be a
reproach.
Only think of a lake at 5000 feet eleva.
ton, and miles across, skirted with noun
tains, with a steamer to a the sight
seeker around.
The Yellowstone park is rightly named
"The Wonderland" and it must be seen to
form any adequate idea of its beauty and
grandeur.
In seeking for a pleasure rip, here at our
door is one that should be Investigated, and
every American citizen should hav enough
national pride to know all about the Yell
lOwstone park.
By addressing the general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific railroad,
Chas. s. Fee. st. Paul. Mimi, and inclOsing
ten cents in stamps, you can secure that
