woman bank president in the United
States. She is at the head of the La
fayette bank, one of her sons is the vice
president, another is cashier, while his
wife is assistant cashier. Mrs. Miller has
lived in Lafayette since 1863, when she
and her husband arrived with an OK

candidate for state treasurer. She is
regarded as one of the best business
women in the state, and is always fore

A Sad Accident.

e. e. Dobbins and Chas. Noble
went hunting the other day out
on the Grand Marais. They
were rowing about in q small
boat when of u sudden Dobbine
espied a flock of ducks heading
toward them. They squated
down in the bottom of the boat
and waited until the ducks were
just over them, when Dobbins,
who is a light weight, raised up
suddenly to get a shot at them,
and in his hurry put his foot on
the side of the boat and over she
went, occupants and all. 1t is
needless to say that they retn"n
ed without any game.

he regards the duty Of the United States
to so legislate as to insure Cuban pros
