CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF OHIO.

Hon: David Meekison is we'll known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives. during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader Of his party in his
section Of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:

don.

The stranger in any city half hum
dred years old, if he knew anything
of the city's history, would learn
from many of the signs that the Sec
ond and third generations had sue
ceeded to the business of father and
grandfather. 1t is especially true of
New York. The New York Times men,
tions some peculiar signs, and re-
lates the following, which we take
to be true, although we do not vouch
for it:
A Londoner, who had strolled about
the streets of the city with New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs of sons, agreed
that in this respect New York was
very like London, but in neither city
was there any such sign as he saw
in one of the old Engnsh towns few
hours run from the worlds metropo-
ills. The sign reads:
JOHN L1rTLEJ0HN's SONS AND LIT
TIE (LITTLE LITTLEJOHN, DOO-
LITTLE LITTLEJOHN AND
JOHN LITTLE).
According to the Londoner, the first
Littlejohn and Little were partners.
the former gave his first son his
partners family name, and Little gave
his boy his partners Christian name.
Littleiohn's second son was named,
for his mothers family, Doolittle.
The three sons succeeded to their fa-
thers' business, hence the sign is en-
tirely correct, and the Londoner was
right in saying that the successors
had no intention of being funny"
when they had their sign written az

CHE Po$tuffitt Business.
Written for the Bee.

The report of the auditor for the
postofllce department for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1900 shows that
Kalispell did the best business for the
the government of any Office in Mon
tana. The per cent of expense to
gross receipts was only Is or eleven
per cent less than any other office in
the state. In fact one of the best
showings made by any Office in the
United States.
The money order business has been
exceptionally heavy. During the year
ending June l, 1901, there were issued
by the Kalispell Office 8,138 domestic
money orders amounting to 81, 695. 10
and 727 international money orders,
amounting to $24,427.2O. During the
same period 1900 orders were paid,
amounting to $2S,5740O, or, a money
order business amounting to nearly
$125, 900 for the year.
The postal business of the Office has
kept pace with the money orders.
Offices are closed and salaries are

based on the postal business done pre-
ceding April LIST of each year. The
postal fund consists of the sale of
stamps, envelopes, wrappers and
cards. and also of box rents. There
was to the credit of the kalispell office
on the 31st Of March last $1O,31O.79. or
$2,31O.79 more than necessary to give
1t second class rating on the LIST
of July next. The Office will also
have done enough business for the
year ending June 80, next to entitle
the city to free delivery. This mat.
ter will be taken up Immediately after
July LIST and before January LIST, 1902,
Kalispell should enjoy the benefits of
city free delivery.
The expense of conducting the Office
for the present fiscal year will only
be twenty per cent of the receipts, or
less than that of any Office in the
United States as shown by the audi
tors last report.

"As fast as arrangements can
be made the Bee will have cor.
respondents in every part Of the
county, who will be expected to
do full justice to the various Sec
tions they represent"
Here the Bee must confess prac-
teal failure. 1t has made every ef-
fort to get correspondents in the out
lying districts of the county. Spas
medically it has succeeded, but the
contributors have lacked continuity
or have had exaggerated notions of
their rights. The Bee has had country
correspondents to whom it paid liber-
al space rates, throwing up the job
because they were not permitted to
use up half column to tell of the
antics of Farmer Goodcrop's bull calf
or how Jack Sureshot was chased by
bear ten years ago. But the Bee
has hopes in this direction. When
country correspondents learn that 1t
is distinctly to their own and their
community's advantage to have the
news of the neighborhood circulated.
and that when matter is paid for it
must have an equivalent value, the
country correspondent problem will
be easier of solution.
"The magnificent resources of
this county will be properly por-
trayed. The business interests
of every town in the county will
receive just treatment"
The Bee thinks it has kept that
promise to the letter. If any oppor-
tunity to present the advantages of
lnis splendid country to home-seekers
and investors has been overlooked
by this newspaper we are not aware
of it. 1t has been the Bees special
business to seek out these things and
give them the publicity they merit.
Whether this policy has been in any
measure responsible for the remark
able progress of this city and county
during the past year, we leave it to
the readers of the Bee to say. The
Bee has aimed to be a factor in the
upbuilding Of the interests of it's con.
stituents. It has tried to treat the
! business interests with justice and
liberality and If in any instance it
has failed so to do the failure has not
been one of intention.
These things are, in the main, what
the Bee promised year ago today.
Inc Bee is lusty youngster and it
has the spirit and the will to 60 for
ward to the end of another year on
the same lines it has pursued in the
past.

Gle Work Of a Year.

: One year ago today the Bee made
its first appearance in Kalispell. In its
initial issue it made certain declara-
tions as to its principles and promised
certain things to its patrons. The dec
larations and promises made at that
time will stand review now. How has
the Bee kept it's word with the people?
That is proper question. Did the
Bee promise certain things that it has
not performed? 1t was freely charged
that the Bee was merely a campaign
sheet; that after the election it
would become only a memory. But
the campaign came and passed and
:, the Bee is still here and intends to re-
main here for several campaigns yet
to come.
But as the promises. Let us see
what they were:
"The Bee will be first of all a
newspaper"
& That was the first promise. Has the
Bee kept it? Well, the subscription
list grows right along. People in all
walks of life; of al shades of polite
al and religious faith take the Bee be-
cause they want the news. Just as
soon as people got over. the notion
.rthat the Bee was only a. campaign
sheet, they commenced to come in
and subscribe and they have been
coming ever since. The Bee has sent
a man to see most of those who have
not come of their own notion, and the
results have been most pleasing.
+ 1T will have a special tele-
graphic service which will give
its subscribers more or less de-
tailed account of the news of the
world before it is ancient his
tory"
That was the second promise. The
start was made with q twice-a-Week
telegraphic report of 1900 words. Dur
ing the stirring times of the campaign
the report was increased to 1000
words daily. After the campaign it
was cut down to 1900 words three
times a week. Now it is $500 words
every day and sometimes twice that

II Reporters Croub|<$.
or
Written for the Bee.

To make a newsy newspaper is a
problem which is to be demonstrated.
In a town constituted as is Kalispell.
gathering news is much more difficult
than writing editorials. The town is
not educated up to that point which
renders the collecting of news either
thing of beauty or Joy. Familiarity
with the reporter is in many instances
a set back to the desired end. This
or that man whom we see every day
ignores the purpose of our present ex-
istence until something occurs of
which he has known for a week or
two and then the best we get is Il
could have told you that some days
ago." This is not malicious, but SIM
ply ignorance of the aim and object of
a news gatherer. On the other hand
the too officious friend will butt in
when the reporter is looking for some
thing on the q. t. and just when the
story is getting interesting will chip
in and say heres something for your
paper" and the relator shuts up like
clam. Outside of news of record, the
quiet plan has always seemed to this
writer to be the most productive. Most
people, when they are aware "a chiefs
amang them takin' notes" will become
less communicative, unless they have
an axe of their own to grind. The
verbose individual who through some
system Of occult reasoning or series
of whiskies thinks he has only to pour
his troubles into the reporters ear
to have them printed usually fails of
his mark, because, even were the re-
porter SO new as to put it all on pa
per, the editor would without falter
blue-pencil the stuff and probably
hand the reporter few scraps Of ad-
vice. Only too often information is
withheld, which If given in confidence
would have been respected and moth
ing published until the matter was re-
leased. Deprived of the facts in the
case any reporter will venture upon
hearsay evidence but so clothe his
language as to protect his paper. For
himself. that is secondary considera-
ton. as readable matter, If it passes
the editor. is the object sought.
To discriminate with care is a valu-
able qualification in a town about the
size Of Kalispell and be sure that in a
report of a saloon row Lawyer Jones
is not mentioned If he happens to be a
church member or married, otherwise
it makes no difference.
And then the various titles must be
