Good News.

Hon. Jas. E. Bruce, State Senator
from Atlantic, spent the day here
last Friday.
Senator Bruce is recognized as
one of the leading fnanciers and
bankers in the state. He first set
tied in Cass Co. quarter of a Gen.
fury ago, poor boy in worldly
goods, but rich in the possession
of brains, ability and industry.
That he has succeeded is attested
by the fact that, Bradstreet and
Dunn and the financial world rates
him today as being worth over
$3.50, 100000 and he now owns con-
trolling interest in and is President
of five of the leading banks in this
territory, including the First Ma
tional Bank at this place.
One of the secrets of the success
of Mr.. Bruce is found in the fact
that he possesses the happy faculty
of finding and associating with
himself good men in his different
banks, and it is recognized fact
that in the Bruce banks you will
find some of the best men to be
found in the state. While here
Friday Mr.. Bruce closed contract
with Mr.. Alfred Voorhees, and Mr..
A. w. Harvey, whereby they take
an interest in and will have per-
manent charge of the business of
, the Fret National Bank of this
city. These gentlemen are both so
we'll known here that the many Gus.
1 toners and friends of this bank, in
! fact all the people of this commun-
ity will be pleased to read this an
/ nouncem ent.
| With such able, courteous and &C.
commodating men as Messrs. Voor-
hees and Harvey in charge and the
business backed, financed and
managed by such men as Senator
Bruce and the other good men in
this town and vicinity, who own the
stock, it is safe to predict that the
First National Bank will soon take
it's place as one of the leading and
! strong banks of the state.
!, The Journal wishes and predicts
a great measure of success for this
institution.

Thanksgivings Shoot at Extra.

On account of bad roads and cold
weather the Extra Gun Club did
not go to Audubon to contest for
the County Badge. But they were
not to be beat out by bad roads etc.
so they shouldered their guns and
went out and had little shoot OF
their own. Those that participated
were ]. s. Knox, Kirk Knox, Hugh
Smith, DR.. Riley, DR.. Oldaker and
Frank Heath of Brayton. However
no records were broken on account
of the disagreeable weather we pre-
sumo. Hugh Smith was high gun
but we did not learn what his
score was.

Freak Charities

Mrs Almira Kramer of Kalamazoo in her will gives
$4,000 to her home city for the purpose of providing
meals and baths for tramps
Mrs Ellen Knewar. of New York, leaves a bequest OF
nearly $4,000 provide home for stray cats and dogs
Which has bequeathed the more wisely?
Which provision will relieve the most real suffering and
hardship?
Which will influence the world most toward universal
health and happiness!
They freak gifts and these are freak questions They
cannot be seriously answered Sympathy will no doubt
generally be on the side of the stray dogs and eats
To be sure, dogs and cats don't have souls to But
maybe neither have tramps If they have they make poor
of them Souls would increase their responsibility and
dimish their
The dogs and cats however, having souls, not
required know any better than to be strays In the same
degree that tramp has soul and knows better he IS less
to be sympathzed with and pted
The stray dog is capable of mendng his ways. At the
slightest encouragement he is ready to cease wandering
and settle down and stay lovingly hcks the hand that
degns to feed fonde him and his waggng tail attests
the sincerity of his gratitude. He is the faithful friend OF
all who befriend him. He gladly becomes fixture the
moment there any affection to aX himself to- He tries
his best always be decent and settled and respected The
dog does not live that does not yean to be member OF
happy home and strive its best to be worth of it. The
homeless dog is not necessarily Of low disposition or OF
perverted characters he is homeless only because OF the
low disposition Of men, The dog looks to man as god
and this would be far better world all around if man
worshiped and served his God with half the faith and de
voton with which the dog worshlps and serves man.
1t is all just the reverse with the human tramp Duty
and responsibility not in his vocabulary. He is gnor
ant of gratitude he is conemptous of conventional ob
cations He regards the handou his due in the world
and is ready to hate and harm the hand that is extended
to him in hepfuness. He exists parasite and oucas
not because he must but because he wants to- To feed
him is only to fix him comfortably in his chosen
place. To battle hm-but that part is only misguided
phianthropist S dream
There are vices in the world that ought to be starved
and kicked out of it. The tramp is one Of them.
1t is too bad that these two good had not heard
that there such things poor tenement babies and
wornout sick mothers to whom little of the money being
freakishy lavished dogs and cats and ramps might
have come as blessing from heaven.

INDIANS MILL
[v[RI f|Ah

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 1.-THE
Custer massacre was reproduced with
wonderful fidelity to detail at the
Lewis and Clark exposition today
with Umatilla indians and soldiers
of the Oregon national guard and
the Tenth United States infantry as
the participants. The affair proved
one of the most attractive In the
program of spectacular events ar
ranged for the entertainment of eX-
position visitors.
The reproduction of the massacre
had for it's location plot of ground
on the government peninsula in
Guilds lake, near the river entrance
to the fair. The lay of the ground
was similar in many respects to the
geography of the Little Big Horn,
which circumstance added much to
the interest of the spectacle.
Indians from the Umatilla reserva-
ton, CARRIED in the war clothes of the
plains, formed the attacking party,
and the attack was maintained by
them until the last of the soldiers
representing Clusters heroic little
band had fallen.

TACOMA, Aug. 11.--A shipment OF
33 blooded horses for the japanese
government has arrived in Tacoma
Local horsemcn say that this is one
of the finest lots of horses ever
shipped to Tacoma and that they
came through in the best condition
of any ever shipped west. Their per-
feet condition can be easily accounted
for, however, for they had every care
that it was possible to bcstow upon
them. They were brought here in
three American express cars, accom-
panied by four expert horsemen.
There are four mares and 20 stall
lions in the lot. They consist of hack
neys, trotters and runners. They
were bought for the most part in
Kentucky and Sheepshead and were
shipped here from East Aurora, N. Y.
The horses were unloaded at the
Oriental dock and taken from there

His Determination Was Eorcibly Ex-
pressed to the Amusement
Of the Miners.

1t was wild day when Booth
Stansfield came into Gold Bar, the
new mining camp.
Old Dan Forbes, the coach driver,
pulled up, with the reins tied to the
dashboard, SO stiff, if you'll take his
word for it, that his pocket-fask was
half-full of the stuff that is said to
keep the cold out. You may rest as
sured that nothing but pure inability
to bend his elbow would have pro-
duced that result
and that thar Observation-Disclosures
ring to tansfield-"stuck to the box
all the way from the Notch" Old
Forbes had announced in admiration
'Thar's the maxim of a good citizen
in that chap he averred. "Lightnin,
he is"
Naturally the inhabitants of Gold
Bar were very anxious to see the
person who came so highly recon-
mended by the driver He was a
dark, thin man, with hollow eyes and
flashing teeth. With his first appear
ance in the only saloon Gold Bar af-

big red-shirted fellow, who was not
in the parlance of the camp, used
to chawin' his words twice"
Booth Stansfeld measured him
with a glance. and, quick as a flash,
his right hand shot out, and the

his breast and held him there, while
he calmly surveyed the thunder
struck companions of the fallen man.
Il presume, gentlemen, l owe you
an apology" said he. THAT invita-
ton to drink, l take it, is custom
here. Nevertheless, l am sure you
will excuse me, it is also my usual
custom to knock down any man who

foot, Il just wish to say that | bear
him no grudge or malice whatever,

affair, why, you may do so-there's

The companions of the miner stood

1t was up to Stanstield to explain,
