The Albany Mutual Building associa-
ton, al its regular meeting last night,
decided 10 keep its books open for those
desiring to lake stock in the new series
till April %. New subscribers will be re-
quired TO pay dues from January |, 1897,
together with interest at the rate OF six
per cent per mum. Something over
300 shares have already been subscribed
Iy expected hat it will be swelled TO 400
before the books close. By that
time the members OF the Laramie Mu-
tunl association will know exactly when
their association will close business and
many OF them will doubtless desire to
purchase stock in the Albany, as they
nave acquired a habit of saving so much
money monthly and putting it by in the
association and this habit hill have to
be satisfied.
1t is the intention OF the board OF
trustees of the Albany to issue another
series January |, 1898, and one each Sue
cceding year thereafter. This will oh
viate the necessity of a new %organiza-
lion and will be a great saving in ex-
pcnse, as 5000 or 1000 shares can be
handled almost as cheaply as 1000.
The money in the Albany Mutual sold
last night for 2l12 premium, Mr.. D. c
Abrams purchasing for that price. AL
though II little less than last month
this is considered a fair rate. The com
ing in OF the new series has caused spir.
tied bidding for laons. and there is con.
siderable competition at each meeting.
To fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation Of Mr.. David Hickey, Mr.. J
w. johnson was elected to a member.
ship on the board.
Many have inquired as to the manner
Of dividing the profits between the ser.
les. II will be done exactly the same as
in a partnership. Whenever a new
series is introduced the books OF the as.
ISOLATION will be balanced and the value
of the stock computed. Each of the
series OF the association will share equa
ly in the profits in proportion TO the
amount of money invested.

George r. Peck, general counsel for
ST. Paul road, at Chicago, says:
Judging from press reports of the
finding OF the United States supreme
court in the governments case against
the Transmissouri Freight association,
I should say that the effect will be to
make it impossible for any existing traf-
fic organization, freight Or passenger, %
maintain it's existence. The United
States supreme court has held in this
decision that such organizations come
within the Sherman antitrust law. and

The officer conn to Sheridan by a certain
day and he would be there. He kept his
word, albeit more than once it nearly
cost him his life.
Sutton has a wife. He kissed her
goodby and stuffed his pockets with the
food which she. poor woman, had put
up for him with loving care, enough to
last him two days, it might be, on the
way to Sheridan. The Three Rivers,
triple %thunderer in sooth, was booming
with sullen, hungry roar, turbid with
swirling mud, carrying on its angry
breast sweeping logs and jagged roots
torn from their sockets by the searching
flood. Five times it had to be crossed
by Sutton on his way, swimming or
wading or CHANGING his life on Il treach-
erous log. Once he was nearly smoth-
cred in a bottomless pit OF mud as Ian
gerous as the quiet. remorseless suck of
a quicksand that never gives up its
dead. 1t was bitter cold. and he must
keep afoot or perish. But there is iron
in this mans blood. He had pledged his
word and got there.
Now, when this simple tale was told
to Judge Bellinger. sitting in Portland,
as the representative Of federal law, he
being a man, was troubled in mind, for
here was one who had set his life at the
value OF n pin fee that the law might
have its way, and yet justice must be
done and punishment meted as is set
down in the books. Nevertheless. there
are degrees. and Judge Bellinger resolv-
ed that this was a case where it would
not strain the quality OF justice were it
softened with mercy. Therefore he i'm
posed the lowest penalty, which is i'm
prisonment for six months and a fine
equal to the sum which Sutton appro
priated.-San Francisco Examiner.

A Church for Each Person.

The man who bravely abandons all
forms of faith aud creates church all

church all for himself; if a Christian

not by one man only, but by two or

Saved by n Brave Nurse.

The bravery of q trained nurse at
the City Hospital in Louisville, Ky,
probably saved woman's life. Mrs.
Carrie Carr, confined in the insane
ward, attempted to escape by descend
ing from the third story to the ground
on the outer wall OF the building. She
took advantage of the temporary ab-
sence of the nurse to climb out of q
north window of the ward, fully fifty
feet from the ground. and descended
by means of the brickwork. which is
such that small footings can be OBJ
tanned at regular intervals for about
twenty-five feet.
The nurse was Mortified, on looking
out of the window, to see the woman
literally suspended in midair above a
brick pavement, her position only
maintained by clinglng to the brick,
which jutted out about two inches
from the wall.
Miss Sarah Cassel, one OF the nurses,
bravely climbed out of the second
story window by the same means and
caught the woman, who was about to
fall, in one arm, while she steHdied
herself with the other. She held the
patient there until the arrival of a
company from tho fire department
with ladders.

Rescued by His Dog.

John Reegan, farmer living near
Gulf Summit. N. Y, owes his life to
his dog. On a recent Saturday Reagan
went out upon hill to fell trees. The
dog followed him. Reagan cut down
tall oak. 1t fell and lodged against
another tree. Reagan struck the butt
of the fallen tree few sharp blows
with an ak, and it slipped off the stump
and pinioned him to the ground.
There was a depression in the earth
under Reegan's body. else he would
have been killed instantly.
He shouted. The dog appeared, and
seeing the predicament of his master,
began to bark, supplemcnting it with
attempts to pull his master from un-
der the tree.
Finding that useless, the dog ran
toward the house. Arriving there he
sat down in the doorway and howled.
The men in the house paid no atten.
tion. The dog dashed back to his
master. In a few moments the howl.
ing of the dog was heard at the door
OF the farmhouse again.
Wnen the door was opened tne uoS
was seen with one of his masters
boots in his mouth. The men ut once
saw that something was wrong and fol-
lowed the dog, which still carried the
boot.
When the tree was reached Reegan
explained that the dog had, after hard
work, succeeded in pulling off the
boot and taking it away. Reagan was
soon released. New York Press.
