THE BEAR WAS GAME
Bunch Neglected to Load His Gun and Got
Chewed.

While Mr.. Bunch and two other men
were out hunting Sunday near the Green
Cedar shingle mill, four miles east of
Elma. they came upon bear and
wounded him. He ran away and the
men ran after him. None of their guns
were loaded, but they thought they
would have plenty OF time to lead them
after finding him. Suddenly old Bruin
jumped out of the brush and landed on
ono of the men. Mr.. Bunch at once be.
gan to pound him with his gun. Bruin
did not approve of attack and turned
upon Mr.. Bunch, chewing his legs and
otherwise mutilating him. BY this time
one of the other men hud his gun loaded
and sent bullet through the bear, but
Mr.. Bunch was SO badly injured that a
doctor was called post haste. Mo serious
results are feared but Mr.. Bunch will
take Ben Martins advice and load his
gun before he tries to run down another
bear.-Vidette.

Wonderful things are being done for
the human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes takes the
place OF diseased sections of veins; anti.
septic dressings are applied to wounds.
bruises, burns, and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one.
third the time required by the old treat
ment, Chamberlain Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries, causes

railroad corruption. His bitterest enemy
WAS the Louisville & Nashville railroad
and as result Of that railroad fight
Goebel was murdered. A republican
governor Of another state, controlled by
railroad influence, refused to give up the
murderer-and August Belmont was the
president OF the Louisville & Nashville
when the murder occurred.
The democrats Of Kentucky and Of the
entire south know what curse it is to
any candidate to be even suspected Of
August Belmont's approval.
Henry Watterson said, editorialy, in
the Courier-Journal, February II. 1900,
in commenting on his severe and just
charges against Belmont:
EVERY man, woman and child in this
part Of the world knows exactly the part
played by Mr.. Belmont's money and
Mr.. Belmont's agents in tho late election,
and the facts, with their bloody de-
nouement, will never be forgotten, but
will come up in judgment against the
company during tho memory OF living
men,"
Mr.. Belmont is the gentleman. with
the Rothschild backing, that has control
Of the New York underground railroads,
and OF the elevated railroads. He is the
gentleman who did not buy any under.
ground tunnel on the East Side, because
it is more profitable to pack foolish New
Workers like sardines into the East Side
elevated trains.
He is also the gentleman who ran
away from the democratic party-to
which he never really belonged-in 1896
and 1900. when his Lombard street
instincts came to life, and his pocket
told his brain to run.

Evidently, Hoquiam is destined to
have an Elk lodge in the near future.
The thirty.five members of the Aber.
deem Elk lodge who are residents Of
Hoquiam, insist on instituting a home
lodge. and declare that if they are not
allowed to do go they will Withdraw
from the order. The only obstacle
heretofore to the institution of an Elk
lodge in Hoquiam has been lack Of
population, the law Of the order re-
quiring population OF at least 5 OOC
before granting a charter. Now that
the census which is about completed
will give the City of Hoquiam the re.
quired population, it is almost certain
that the lodge will be instituted. The
papers are in the hands of Morgan &
Brewer. and will be forwarded to head
quarters as soon as possible. With the
So members of Aberdeen lodge and the
"A applicants, the Hoquiam lodge will
have a charter membership OF TO-
