A man talks about owning his
business. But, as matter of fact
his business owns him. His whole
life is regulated by the demands of
the business. The time at which he
rises, his breakfast hour, the time
given to meals, are all determined
by business obligations. He rushes
through lunch because he "can't
spare the time from business" to eat
leisurely. He won't take a rest be-
cause he is needed at the store or
office. He is in fact an absolute
slave tc business. The results which
follow his slavery are to be seen on
every hand. Men dyspeptic, irri
table, nervous. with drawn faces,
and hollow eyes, sit at the desk or
stand behind the counter until they
collapse into fit of sickness, or are
taken away by heart failure. Those
who cannot escape the exaction of
business will find q friend in DIR.

Captain Ellis Talks. Says Refusal Is
iDue 90 n sappf feheusion.
Chief OF Indian polics J,W Ellis has
been down at Kemp serving orders
for election of some parties at that
place for refusing to pay the tribal
taxes. Martin Newbury. the tribal
tax collector of Pamela county, of
the Chickasaw nation, reported the
names of four men in that section
who refused the payment of the
permit and cattle tax. which he is
collecting. Mr.. Ellis says:
Through q Misrepresentation OF
some kind these parties were lead to
bslieve that the United States gov
ernment would not back up the In
dams in the collection of theee
tribal taxes. But when / visited
them l showed them my authority,
which came from the Commissioners
of Indian Affairs, and which bore
the approval of the secretary oil
the interior. When they saw that

would be elected from the territory,

to pay the tax.

receive the payment of thu tax. 4
gave them permission to pay Martin
Newbury. The four parties made 6
settlement in full aud the matter
was amicaby disposed of. The
men expressed feeling of grateful
ness that they were permitted tC
make settlement even after orders
had been issued for their ejectment
This practically settles the tax ques
ton in Pamela county: especially
since the refusal was on the pay
ment of cattle tax.
"The department has decided tt

Crescent Bicycles.

The bicycle is fully as necessary to
the family today as any article of the
household. In most cases it is in daily
use in all weathers, and must there
fore be so constructed as to require but
little expenditure for repairs, and be
ready at all times for service. Cres-
cent bicycles are so made; and the
record OF their past, voiced by hun
dreds OF thousands of Crescent riders
makes Crescents the bicycle that will
be ridden by thousands Of new riders

GREETING.

At this the beginning OF my twelfth
season in Bedding | wish to extend my
greetings to my friends and acquaint.
ances.
Our constantly increasing trade and
expanding business seems to demon
strate that we have done business on
correct principles and at right prices.
We have tried to build up business
that would be enduring and have en-
deavored to make permanent custom
ers rather than to make big profits
from single sales.
We propose to make this the greatest
and best year in the history OF our
business.
The rest and change | have had dur
ing the past year has made me capable
OF more and better work, and with my
able and efficient assistants, large and
varied stock and modern methods OF
doing business, believe that we are
in better shape to serve the public than
ever before.
| am glad that | was permitted to
spend year in Colorado, but am more
than glad to be back home among my
friends and loved ones.
My interests there shall in no way
conflict with the deep and absorbing
interest / take in Belding, in my
friends and customers here, and in the
success of my hardware business.

belt numbers perhaps $4,000. 1t is a
modern city and has stores that would
make some OF those in Grand Rapids
blush. This city burned up in 1896
and was at once rebuilt with brick
and stone.
Victor, the second city, has about
5000 population and has the best mines
In or near it. This city is particularly
fortunate in having among its inhabi-
tants the Woods brothers, formerly OF
Warren, Ohio. They own the cele-
brated Gold Coin mine and other prop
critics for which they are said to have
refused 100000.
While they are wealthy they are
what is better, public spirited. They
employ about 200 men and have built
for them 100000 club house, which is
free to all their employees. 1t has a
gym, reading room and all the COM
forts of a city club house.
The Woods Investment Co. is inter-
ested in many public enterprises, and
is doing more than any one company
to develop and improve the district.
All the mining in this district is
quartz" mining and the ore must be
treated at the smelters or mills.
The deepest shafts are down about
! 200 feet, and water is often encoun-
tered at depth of 600 feet, making a
large pumping plant necessary.
The climate in this district is fine,
dry and not so changeable as in Michi-
gan. Cool in summer and spring-like
in winter.
The altitude is strain on a persons
constitution, being almost two miles
higher up in the air than Bedding. A
good place for consumption but bad
place for pneumonia.
Don't go TO a mining camp If you are
not miner, unless you have 'pull. F"
The successes are published, the fail
ures, never.
Mining is good and legitimate bust
ness and the Cripple Creek district is
practically in its infancy today.

The Cripple Greek District

Is about six miles square in extent,
and located about % miles southeast
from Colorado Springs, Colo. 1t is in
Teller county. Until little over one
year ago il was in FL Paso county, but
Cripple Creek wanted to be a county
seat so county division was accom-
plished through the legislature and the
new county was named after Senator
Teller.
The principal towns of the district
are Cripple Creek, Victor, Goldfcld,
Independence, Altman, Anaconda and
Elkton. They are connected by two
steam roads and one electric road, and
another steam road will be in opera
ton this season. The suburban service
furnished by these roads is excellent.
Most of the gold produced in the dis
trict is within radius of two miles
from the top of Bull Hill.
The profits OF the district were pro-
duced by the following hills in the
order named: Battle mountain, Bull
hill, Raven hill, Gold hill, Globe hill,
Tenderfoot hill, Guyot hill, Beacon
hill, Squaw mountain and Copper
mountain, and paid in dividends in
1899, 81 ,572, OF. 43, on an output of
l9,950,0OO The output OF gold in the
whole state OF Colorado for the year
1899 was $3l ,329,05 Figuring on the
basis of the output for January and
February the production for the Grip.
pie Creek district alone for the year of
1900 will be about 30 millions. No
other county in the state outside OF
Teller county furnished more than two
and one quarter millions last year.
The best mines in the district were
discovered in 1891. Old miners came
and said the formation was not right
for good mines. The "tenderfoot"
came in, staked the claims and have
got the gold. The hard times in other
parts OF the country proved to be a
good thing for this district, for idle
men rushed in and the camp was rap
idly developed.
In 1894 occurred the "big strike" be-
tween the miners and the mine owners.
1t lasted almost six months and was
stubbornly contested by both sides.
The miners asked increase in pay and
recognition Of the union. State troops
were called out, deputies sworn in and
kegs OF dynamite placed on the hills
ready to be rolled down. Finally a
compromise was effected whereby the
men received the increased pay for
eight hours work and the union was
not recognized. Since then the follow
inc scale of wapes has heen maid.

Home Trading and Local Advertising.

Home Trading and Local Advertising.
There is nothing in the world that
contributes so directly towards the
building up OF town or city as home
trading.
No place is too small to feel the be-
nefcent effects of this policy, none is
too large to be independent OF the
principle.
II your money goes TO an outside
merchant, if you send away for goods,
or il you make practice OF patroniz'
ing the travelling peddlers or statesmen
whose interest in your city is limited
to few days rental OF storeroom or
a hotel parlor, you are not only giving
to an outsider money that would do
more good in your own town, but you
are actually preventing and postponing
the time when your city will be indie
pendent OF outside competition.
Trading at home helps everybody.
1t helps the customer and the mer-
chant, and it also helps those who
have no interest in that particular
transaction. Home trading makes
business better in every line, it makes
taxes lower. 1t makes the city grow
faster. 1t develops and promotes the
spirit of public enterprise and local
patriotism, and in the end it will be
found to be the best policy not only for
the communities to which it is applied
but TO the larger wholesaling cities as
we'll, for local prosperity is undoubted-
ly the true basis of the prosperity of
the large centers.
Home trading is united with another
principle, and the two should always
be considered together. Home adver.
Using means something more than adj
vertising in the local newspapers. That
is principle so manifest and so well
established that no one inclines to
doubt it. But there is another kind
Of home advertising OF which we wish
to speak. II you wish your town to be
prosperous, convince people that it is
prosperous. An immense amount OF
good can be done by letting people
know that we are not only alive, but
that we are doing very well.
Suppose there are three towns, the
one calamity stricken, the second
sleepy and the third wide awake and
prosperous. TO which OF the three
will capital be attracted? To which of
the three will the desirable citizen
looking for change OF locality, be at
tracted? The questions answer them
selves.
The home merchant, while we must
admit he is far from perfect, in fact has
many faults, still he it is who helps TO
pay your taxes, support your churches
and schools, and often helps you in
times of sickness or death. Why in
the name OF justice and right do you
ask him to compete with those who
help you in none OF these things?
Shall we not stand together Tor every
thing that will make our city more
prosperous, stand shoulder TO shoulder
as we strive for better homes and
higher citizenship, closer feeling of
friendship and goodwill, and may our
motto ever be "Belding, my Belding.n
