SUCCESS LIFE

Money stored up by the work
ing man in small savings is . bar
ricade against want. It secures
him q f0othold in times of panic
and failing employers, and en-.
ables him to wait in comfort for
better times.
Without such savings he is not
his own master.
When work fails he cannot seek
for it elsewhere, but is tied to
one spot. The acquisition of
money, at least enough to keep
the ''wolf from the door" is not
only legitimate and Trustworthy,
but a positive duty.
We will, most cheerfully, get
you started to saving if you will
open a Saving Fund Account
with us.

DEAR SIR
I am sorry to inform you
that the Farmers Institute
Board finds it impossible to
grant your request for a far
mers institute at Cooperstown
this year. There is only one
reason that I can give you for
such action; and that is limited
funds.
Yours very truly,

A number of our town folks went
down to hear the debate at the Fluto
bridge school last Friday night and
had a splendid time so say they all.
The schoolhouse was crowded and
standing room was at a premium.
The question for debate was Resolved,
'"That dancing and card playing are
proper amusement for young people. {"
A. NJ. Baldwin and H. A. Farr took
the Affirmative side of the question
and Rev. 81. S. Harris and Rev. S.
Bachelor the negative side. The
judges Miss Losey and Messrs. f. B.
King and Frank Gladstone decided
that the Affirmative side had put up
the best argument and awarded the
decision accordingly. The debate
was a good one and was thoroughly
enjoyed. Mr.. Bemis presided over the
meeting. Ing. Void favored the
audience with a solo and was en-
Enthusiastically encored and responded.

THE CAR is NEXT.

The assassination of Grand Duke
Sergius in Moscow yesterday was the
first Of four murders the terrorists
planned as the result Of the present
policy of the Russian bureaucracy.
Gear Nicholas is one Of the four and
the death of the grand duke has filled
the heart of the monarch with fear,
lest he be the next one to fall by the
hand of the nihilist General Trepoff,
governor general of ST. Petersburg,
and the man to whom was given the
task of quieting the revolutionists who
recently tried to force their views upon
the throne, is the third of the quartet
marked for death and the fourth is

M. Won Plehve as minister Of the in

lists during the last few months is

CONE, GER ACQUAINTED.

We of the west" for so Iowa is
called by the residents of states as far
west as Ohio, can hardly realize the
extent to which the ignorance of those
people. concerning the Mississippi val
ley and the really western states, can
exist. The ST. Louis exposition, it is
true, gave to many a realization Of the
truth of the conditions and taught
them that civilization exists beyond
Chicago, that wild Indians. grizzly
bears and herds of deer are as seldom
seen in Iowa as in Massachusetts. But
there are others, and their name is
legion. who have yet to know that in
Colorado for instance, there is no more
of the wild frontier life that used to
exist than in Indiana and Ohio.
A great awakening is due to those
people who come from the eastern
states next summer to visit Portland
and the Lewis and Clark exposition.
Instead of having to ride in stage
coaches, as they might expect from
novels, they will be able to occupy
their Pullmans from Boston all the
way to Portland. They will not be
awakened in the middle of the night
by band of painted Indians thirsting
for blood and the chances are that if
a train is held up and robbed it will be
east of the Mississippi river. People
from the middle west, visiting the east
are often surprised even now, when
all should know better, to have some
New Yorker or Bostonian ask ques-
ton that shows the easterner as igno-
rant of the real conditions in the mid
die western states as he is Of the con-
ditions in Patagonia.

fair. Let them sit on the observation

enough to make anyone not resident
of Russia feel glad of the fact, no mat
ter how deplorable his condition. Most
any fate would, it would seem, be bet
ter than that of an official in Russia.
Since June 1904. the nihilitsts have
been extraordinarily busy, their I'M
usual activity having doubtless been
caused by the war and the drafting of
men from the ranks Of the Russian
working men for service in the army.
Since June, exclusive of yesterdays
assassination, the record of the anti
imperialists is as follows:
June 16-General Bobrikoff, gov
ernor general of Finland, fatally shot
at Helsingfors by Eugene Schaumann,
a Finn.
July 17-vice governor of the gov
eminent of Elizabetpol, assassinated
at Agdshakent.
July 23-M. Plehve, minister of the
interior, killed in St Petersburg, by a
bomb.
August Lieutenant General Bo-
guslavsky, chief administrator OF a dis
trict In the Caucasus, murdered at Ig-
dir.
November General Tcherrkoff,
governor of Warsaw, fired at three
times from a troop train. Gendarme
killed.
January 10, 1905-Case shot fired
from a saluting battery at the car,
during the blessing of the Neva.
February 6-Soininea Solsalon, pro-
curator general of Finland, shot and
killed in his Office at Helsingfors by

The work Of the nihilists has not
been in vain. Though their organiza-
ton has spent much money, has sacri-
feed lives from it's ranks in order to
bring about deaths among the heads
of the government, these sacrifices
have worked for the condition which
now exists, condition which will,
sooner or later, result in overtures on
the part of Russia for peace in the
Oriental struggle. A meeting was held
on Thursday at Tsarskoe-Seloe, and

the subject under consideration was
that of peace. Russia has met reverse

SID FL CHIT 8

Some time ago the Courier pub.
lished a story about Col. Jim Bridger
and his experience with the works Of
Shakespeare. This story was told by
an Ottumwa gentleman, who was we'll
acquainted with Bridger, in fact Bird
ger made his home with this gentle
man for several years on the frontier.
He tells many interesting anecdotes
of the peculiarities Of the old scout.
Bridger was especially severe on the
tenderfeet who constituted a great
part of the people with the wagon
trains which were continuously travel.
ing across the frontier.
They we're always asking him ques-
tons about the country, the Indians,
his fights and adventures. Like al.
most all the old time scouts, Bridger
was morose and sullen. He was close
mouther with everyone except those
with whom he was intimately asso.
ciated.
One evening Bridger was sitting by
his campfire and young man with
one Of the wagon trains was particu.
larly persistent with his questions to
Bridger. The old scout tried to dis
courage him, but he wouldn't be
bluffed. He could only elicit mono
syllable replies from the old man. but
he kept at it. Finally he said:
81 guess you've been here long
time, haven't you, colonel?"

there?" he asked, pointing to d noun.

Another time when Bridger was
guiding a party through the trackless
wilds one of the members Of the ex.
petition kept worrying the colonel
about a report he had heard of q lot
of petrified articles In some part of
the western country. He had been
bothering Bridger about 1t for day
or two, and finally asked him If he
positively knew where there were any
petrified trees and things.
Bridger seemed to think that the
time had come to "knock him off" Sc
he told him:
