MCMILLIN' S frlnds were afraid Of

therefore they put the senatorial
primary off as long as possible, Gar
mack s friends were not caring much
They were ready for the fray, yet
were willing to give quarter AS the
campaign warns, and day after day
his republican opponent asks Mr..
McMillin the question, twill you
serve the people as their governor if
they elect you" and day after day
the democratic nominee evades or
dodge that pertinent and to the peo-
pie all important question; as this
happens day after day-as it will,
then stronger and stronger will grow
the sentiment against Mr.. McMillin's
double candidacy, until, when the
now appointed day in November
comes he will either be actually of
the track Or practically out of the
race and Csrmack will have it all
his own way.

CARD FROM THE BANKERS.

To Our Friends and Patrons: The
custom of allowing overdrafts by banks
is inconsistent with safe banking
principles. 1t allows the customers to
borrow from the bank without its con-
sent. 1t forces the bank to furnish
money unexpectedly, and frequently at
times when it is not desired to increase
its loans. 1t draws from the funds of a
bank which have been set apart and re-
served to pay depositors who have
money to their credit 1t is therefore
decided by the directors of the under
signed banks that after July 10, 1900,
no customer will be allowed to overcheck
his account under any circumstances
whatever.
The officers of each bank will take
pleasure in granting loans to their GUS
toners in sums to suit their wants, on
presentation of satisfactory notes, but
they are forbidden after July 10 to pay
any check where the drawer has not
sufficient amount to his credit to meet
same.

REV. ELLIS MURDER.
A Graphic Account of the Tragedy

Terrible AtrOcity.

Victoria, b. c., June 2s.-The Shang-

der of Rev. Mr.. Ellis, of the London
mission. and of Chinese missionary
at Kung Tsun, gave the Following ac-
count of the tragedy to a friend:
"On the 18th day of the fourth
moon thesBoxers, numbering 81.
crossed the river Use Tsun and met
the two missionaries in a boat. They
knew the Chinese was a Christian, and
at once attacked him, wounding him
with their swords. Then they drag
ged him out of the boat and tied him
to a tree at the riverside. Then Mr..
Ellis was tied with him, and Mr.. Chao,
another missionary, was found. His
toes and thumbs were bound together
and he was carried TO a tree near
where the others were hung up. The
arms of the missionaries were cut
of. their heads hewn off, and after
the bodies had been disemboweled.
they were cast into the river. The
chapel Of the mission was demolished,
the Boxers went on their way"

HASTE makes waste" and if our
farmer friends are not careful they
will learn this to their sorrow. They
have had so much rain on their
wheat, that they are becoming daily
more and more impatient to get
it to market; but If they yield to this
Impotence and thresh while it is
yet damp and tough, they will regret
it. For about the time they have
marke ted theirs, the sun will come
out hot and strong and dry their
neighbours in the field, and he will
thresh and sell for 8 or 10 cents a
bushel more than the man got who
was In hurry aud wouldn't wait on
Providence and the weather. 1t is a
good rule for the farmer to hustle
and make hay while the sun
shines;" but it is bad rule for him
to get discouraged, disheartened or
impatient and make second grade
out of good wheat by threshing 1t
before it Is ready. This is a good
season for the farmer to add to his
industry, patience.

COLUMBIA is to have another of
those delightful evenings at the
Opera House, when local talent will
furnish the entertainment. 1t is
such that always draws most and
pleases the best. 1t will be under the
auspices of the Thursday Evening
Musical and complimentary to their
Director, Miss Camille Herndon.
Columbia should delight to do hon
or to Miss Herndop. She is one Of
US, born and raised here, and has
sung and played for US since u wee
little girl, and her musical talent,
natural and acquired, has always
been delight. Her patronesses
have never been known to make a
failure, and we hope the success
that always attends their effort, will
be pronounced on this occasion.
