AN HISTORIC PICTURE.
Made When General Grant Was Ar
 ranging Indian Treaties.

"As is well known" said F.. L. Lo- max, geenral passenger agent of the Union Pacific railroad, the other day, during the construction of our rail- road a good deal of trouble was en- countered from Indian attacks, and for this reason and others General Grant and a party made a trip over the Un- ion Pacific to arrange treaties with the various Indian tribes, and a photo graph of the party was taken at Fort Sanders in course of this trip.
 "I doubt if at any other time so many great military heroes were thus group ed together in such a rural environ ment There were General U. S. Grant, Lieutenant General William T. Sher- man, Major General William s. Harney, Major General John Gibbon. Brevt Brfgadier General Fred TT. Dent, Brevt Brigadier General A. V. KautZ. Brevet Brigadier General Adam J. Slemmer, Brevet Brigadier General Joseph A. Potter and Brevet Brigadier General Lewis Cass Hunt, all of the United States army. Grant, Sherman and Sheridan became the only generals in our army Dent was Grants brother in-raw and comrade at West Point and Slemmer was the hero of Fort Perk- ins. General Harney was a famous veteran Indian fighter before the war and died here in Orange county cor ! 1ando), where he had fought the Seim- nole Indians in 1887. Not one of all | these warriors is alive today. Gran died in 1885, Sherman in 1891, Sheri- dan in 1888, Harney in 1889, Gibbon ir 1896, Dent in 1892. Kautz in 1895 Slem-
 mer in 1868, Hunt in 1886 and Potter il 1888.
 Thre Union Pacific railway officials
 are in the group-Sidney Dillon. Thos c. Durnat and Granville M. Dodge. Sc
 far as I know the latter is the onl. person in the group who is alive to day. And yet Major General Dodge, U
 s. ", was born in 1881, went througl
 the war, and is one of a half doze1 distinguished corps commanders living
 and he is yet a very active and emin
 ent railroad official. There are som
 officers wives and children in tn
 group-Mrs. Gibbon, Mrs. Potter an,
 Mrs. Kilburn-and it is possible som

of their children in the picture may be alive today. It is only when We view a group like this of great soldiers, of which only one survives, that we real ize how rapidly our heroes of the blue and gray are passing from us.
 'I knew Grant, Sherman and Sheri- idan, with whom I spent many plea sant hours, and it does not seem so very long ago since I met them all three for the last time. General Har- ney died years ago, but his widow by a second marriage still lives at Or lando, and I have often visited her there She is totally blind in her old age and depends largely upon her de- voted daughter, Mrs. H. l.. Beeman, for many attentions. She is an entertain ing old lady, and delights to talk of her once famous husband, and although she is blind I have sent her a copy of this group picture, in which General Harneyy tall, straight as an old h. dian chief, Is really the most conspic- uous figure.
 "Old army officers and pioneers well remember the Overland mail, twenty | four days from St. Louis to San Fran cisco. Today the Union Pacific rail- way train, the Overland Limited makes the trip from Chicago to Sar Francisco in les than three days, but J lit has cost millions of money anC years of hard work to make this change"

SUGAR BEETS.
Probably 1000 Acres Will Be Planted
 Around Tempe.

Col. J. E. Price. Tempe agent for the
 Eastern Sugar company, has been a
 busy man for the past few weeks so-
 liciting contracts for planting sugar beets. He has been very successful, and to all appearances there will be a
 large crop planted in the vicinity of Tempe this season. Up to Saturday afternoon Col. Price had contracted for 5O4 acres. During the present week he has contracts pending that will swell this amount about One-half. An other proposition is on foot to secure the use of a large tract of land, and it is more than likely that within the next ten days or two weeks no less than a thousand acres will have been signed up under the Tempe canal alone. The farmers in this vicinity are quick to take advantage of an oppor- tunity, and they see in the beet in dustry a chance to realize good prof it's. MT. l.. Meyers, who is in charge

OUR STOCK OF GOLD.

This country now holds more gold and silver money than any other nation. Comptroller Ridgely reports that We have S134S, 100000 in gold, One-haif more than France, and more than twice Great Britain's holdings, which mea- sure $533, ,000. Our silver money amounts to $685., 100, 900, which is $780, OOOO0O more than France and Great Britain combined. The worlds stock of silver coin has decreased in a year $71, ,OOO, 900, and it's paper $91,000,O00, while gold currency has increased $359 ,O0O, 900. All the money in the world is twelve and a half thousand millions, of which the United States has nearly three thousand millions i New York Times.

of the work in the valley for the sugar company, remarked to Col. Price some time ago that probably it would be possible to secure under the Tempe system about 400 acres. Naturally, the fact that twice that amount has prac- tically been secured is very pleasing to the company and it also speaks very well for the Tempe agent. The beet seed will be received in Phoenix in a few days and will be delivered to Tempe farmers from the Ryder lum- Der yard.

AT THE TEMPE DAM.

Work at the Tempe dam is progress ing as well as can be expected but there is still a shortage of help. It is now figured that if a full force of men and teams can be kept during the coming week the end of the canal will be finished and some water turned in
 by Saturday night. The river has fallen to such an extent that it will be impossible to secure a full head un- til the dam is at least partially built.

DISCOVERED AFTER 40 YEARS.

At the end of forty years Colonel John R. Hurd of Colorado, has just learned that he was brevetted briga- dier general by President Lincoln. The honor is discovered late, but time has added to the reasons for it's apprecia- tion. Colonel Hurd was one of the first to apply the tunnel method of escaping from a military prison. He had the good fortune to get out of Libby by digging an underground route, and to reach the Potomac safely after a week of night marches without food.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The annual meeting OF the BeldinR
Building and Loan Association was held
Monday evening at the office of the sec
retary, Adam Wagner, with good rep
resentation of stockholders present.
Aside from the election Of three direo-
tors there was but little business to tran
sact as the efficient secretary keeps the
business so well in hand and rounded up
in such good shape that there is need Of
but very little discussion and suggestions.
One important matter however, regarding
the interest rate on mortgage loans was
taken up at the suggestion of Mr. Wag-
ner, who considered it advisable to lower
the rate from seven to six per cent
The bylaws of the association which
were adopted in 889 at its organization
made the rate seven per cent and it was

THE COST OF A BOY.

Ionfa County Lad Reflects on his
Worth. arsg
- srie other day -. ssost Ss(( 49,
t. bring up city boy anc educate sSSs9
dress him well. ! said to myself: THAT
is because everything in the city has to be
bought and living is high" But | began
to study the thing and | found even the
country boy costs his parents a great
deal.
When you count what boy eats and
what he wears, and the school books he
has to have, and the doctors bills that
have to be paid when he gets the meas
les or the scarlet fever, he will cost his
folks at home at least 500 year. II a
boy is pretty bad to smash up things, or
to kick his shoes right out, he costs more
than that. So that when am 81, and
old enough to do for myself, shall have
cost father more than $4,000.
Two thousand dollars for boy What
do you think of that?
These are hard times. When parents
have to put $4,000 into boy what have
they a right to expect from himP Is I
fair for him to play truant at SCHOOL, Is
it fair for him to play ball, 60 in swimming
or hang around town at the time when
maybe his fathers potatoes are not dug
nor the wood brought in for mother? |:
it fair for him to disappoint them by
swearing and drinking9 Is it fair to for
get his parents and neglect even to write
them letters?
Some Of our parents have put about al
the property they have into us boys anc
girls. If we make whisky decanters o
ourselves, they will be poor indeed, but
we make good citizens and substantial
men, they will feel as If they had good pa.
for bringing US up.

Mr. Morrow outlined the object Of the
League which is thoroughly organized in
a systematic manner to oppose the saloon
in its work of ruin.
He said it must be done by agitation
creating public sentiment. Honest offc-
ials must be elected to the legislature to
make laws and the enforcement of law.
The League proposes to put veto on
worthless bondsmen offered and given by
saloonkeepers and see that the laws re-
atng to the liquor traffic as carried on
by them are enforced.

ON THE MAYOR
Great Find at the Long Lake Resort,
Coon Tracks and Honey.

Great Find AT the Long Lake Resort,
Coon Tracks and Honey.
Mayor Briokeron one of his exploring
trips around his grounds at Long lake this
week, made discovery in the shape of a
bee tree. The nest Of honey was in the
hollow stump of large tree which tow
cred to quite a height Near the top was
a hole with marks leading to it, which
Mayor Brioker took to be coon tracks.
Says our mayor II have made a great
find, not only have | found lot of honey
but also a nest of coons.' So with
thoughts Of warm biscuits covered with
honey, and coon on toast to hurry him
along, he came to Belding and at once en-
gagged the services Of Mr., John Spriggs to
help him. They returned to Brcker
Park and at once started the tedious task
OF falling the bee tree, which after much
consultation and some work was accom-
plished. When the prize was lowered the
bees were smoked away and our worthy
mayor and his perspiring assstantant
began digging for the honey which
they did not find readily. After much
work with no success the thought hap
pened to present itself to investigate the
bees which thev did and -ta thei- 49,
toa,shfrent iound that the bees were hor-
nets and the "bee tree was nothing more
or less than a hornets nest No honey,
no coon. Oh my! But ask the mayor
about it,
