todian, and ask committee of
citizens consistingof A. j. Bleser,
w. B. Saunders, G. G. Middle
brook and N. J. Bleser and E
Emanuel to organize new band
The old organization was not at
peace with itself and notwith-
standing the efforts of a
number who were interested in
it's welfare, it was unable to full
fill tie ends for which it was
organized. The committee as
named met about the 1st of the
month and called into being the
"Citizens band,' which was or
ganized a few days after wards.
The committee suggested that
NJ. M. Ramer be asked to assume
| the leadership, and the band on
it's organization ratified this
and elected the following officers
Pres, Will Miller; Vice-Pres.,
Dan Conright; Seer etary, W. S.
Nixon; Treasurer, Will Mount.
The band is to have new music

The Richest WOman's story

How Hetty Green, the famous
financier, who enjoys the dis
tinction of being the richest
woman in America, has made
and kept her millions will be told
for the first time in the June
Ladies Home Journal. In view
of Mrs. Green S vast wealth, SO
great that she herself cannot
exactly compute it, the story Of
her home life will also be espec-

extreme simplicity. In the
article Mrs. Green tells how she
has bought and sold railroads
and towns, and how she has com
PEELED political managers to do
her bidding g-showing the enor

golden days. Her daily life, too,
is interesting, for early and late
she is at her task of watching
her wealth and eagerly adding to
it, being stranger to almost any
other recreation. Several pic
lures of the woman with millions,
made expressly for the article,
will give it additional interest.

Mr.. Jacob Busta, of Twin
Brooks, called upon us yesterday
and was quite indignant over the
item referring to him a couple of
weeks ago. Jacob admits that
the time referred to he had taken
on board an overdose of an awful
poor quality of liquor, but says
that it was the only time in TWEEN
ty years that this mistake had
happened, and he doesn't think
he ought to be judged too severly
for that lapse from sobriety; he
also states that his attack upon
the furniture was confined to the
breaking up of q sewing machine,
about which there had been q
family dispute. Jacob is having
domestic trouble, his wife suing
for a divorce, and in answer to
the proceedings has number of
afidavits Of responsible and
trustworthy citizens Of Twin
Brooks, testifying to his sobriety
and good character, which he
presented for our inspection.

Aberdeen News: One of the
most strenuous contentious of
the Bryanites has always been
that the rich are growing richer
and the poor growing poorer.
The following figures from official
sources effectually explode this
argument: The per capita cir
culation has increased 43 per
cent since 1870 and is now at the
highest point in the history of
the country. The total money
in circulation has increased 1872
per cent in the same period.
The number of depositors in saw
ings banks-and only the social
ed poor people use savings banks
has increased during the same
time 248 per cent. The popula-
tion Of the country, on the other
hand, has increased but 100 per
cent.
