Waterman and C.. West to as- sist the receiver so far as they might be able and to report as earlyas possible to the deposit ors upon the condition of the bank.
 Money was raised to pay the expenses of sending the petition to Chancellor Humphries and the meeting was adjourned without any violent talk.
 WEEKS WORK BEFORE REPORT. As stated in his talk to the mass meeting Wednesday night, Receiver Ferguson believes 1t will take a weeks work before a report can be made upon the de- funct banks assets and llabll- ities. The banks collateral is largely held by city correspond ents and from them. MT. Fer guson is securing lists of what they hold as rapidly as possible.

MASS MEETING or 1kosIToRs
Held fAt the Court House "Wednesday Evening Asks That l. D. Kin man Be Appointed Co.,
 Receiver of Bank.

At a mass meeting of deposl- tors of the Bank of Newport, held at the court house Wednes- Hay evening attended by about 200 people, probably half or whom were depositors in the suspended institution, action was taken toward the securing of Capt. T. D. sKinman as a CO., receiver to act with the already appointed receiver, Alcorn Fer !. guson. < Dr. c. West called the gather ing. to order and Judge l.. Lipp- mann was chosen chairman and E. A. Shaver, secretary. The desire of the majority of the de- positors seemed to be to have Captain T. D. Kinman to act as a co-receiver with Mir. Ferguson in the settlement of the banks af- fsirs and a comInittee consisting DrcC. Wes yM. M. Stuckey and G. L. Grant was appointed to draw Up and present the necessary petition to Chancellor Hnmnhries at Salem.
 The petition was drawn up and signed by a large number of depositors and Attorney G. L. Grant was despatched to Salem to secure the action of the chancellor. He left Thursday morning and is expected to re- turn Friday.
 The confidence of those as- sembled was expressed in Mr.. Ferguson byinviting him to ad- dress them, which he did. He stated that he had sought the assistance of Capt. Kinman, whose knowledge of the banks affairs was much to be desired at this time, but the latter had been prevented, owing to the duties of another position.
 MT. Ferguson took occasion to deny the various reports circu- lated purporting to express his opinion of the condition of the bank and declared that he would know no one in the administra- tion of his duties as receiver. Depositor, stockholder, director and officer should all be treated alike, but naturally the deposit ors had his greatest sympathy.

Uses of Trial.

The Bible makes It very cleaF that God has committed the govj ernment of this world, whethe1 of empires, kingdoms, republicsI states, families or individuals td His son. the Lord Jesus Christi He is the ruler, by Him it shall be conducted to its close, by Him it shall be judged and upon HiA decision will depend the ultimatd destiny of every human being| All of our affairs are now in Hia hand. If these things be true it is most happy for us for reas| ons readily seen.
 He has infinite love for thia world and all it's peoples of every condition. Of this his death il ample proof. There is absoluteI ly no limit to His knowledge He is acquainted with every life and its every experience; He is possessed of limitless power over every situation in every life, Earthquake. fire, storm, tempest, armies, navies, money, labol and capital, all these are undel | His hand. These things being tue some things follow of neces- sity!
 1. Nothing happens = W q cannot understand how or fo1 what purpose He can employ an earthquake, storm, a closed bank with the trials that ensue, but the Commander, the Chief Director is looking on and has his hand upon every part of every trial and stops it just where 1t is of no further service.
 2. He makes the trial to con- tribute blessing that neither money nor prosperity can buy. The storms and frosts perform their service as really as the sum- shine and gentle rains. The life without trial is without power.
 3. Trials test men. They furnish the great fields of battle on which heroes receive their Knighthood, the Judge looking on and making his record. The towards run away and are glad to be we'll out of it but the pill lars of strength stay in their places. We may not doubt but that their reward is sure.
 4. Trials are usually brief. "Our light aflictions which are but for a moment. '' So they are as Compared with eternity. The night soon passes and the morning of an eternal day soor daWns.
 5. Trials bring us together as no measure of ease and album dance can. Those who weep to- gether are closer together thar those who only laugh. " 1 nthe days of crushing calam ] ity heart seeks heart and sou goes out in search of it's fellow soul. words of sympathy come out and link us together. So il comes to pass that love has its way and we say with Gods ser. want, '"It is good for me that have been afflicted"

Hidden away among the ware

enue south of Moran's shipyards
is the only cannery in Seattle,
says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.
In speaking of the work of the
cannery, Superintendent E. B.
DuttOn said:
''This cannery was installed
here more as an experiment than
as purely business proposition,
but every one connected with it
had full faith in its ultimate sue
cess. The short time that it has
been running has demonstrated
that it is one of the safest and
best investments that could have
been made; in fact, it has exceed
ed the hopes of the most sanguine.
Since the opening of the season
we have been canning on an aver
age of 10000 fish daily, not count
ing large number of halibut that
were packed fresh.
"The run this year, although
not as large as that of 1901, or the
run of four years before that date,
is very good. Last week we had
more salmon than we could han
die. We are confident that our
seasons pack will reach sc, 1000
cases. We employ about 100 pso-

and spy company. Many officers of
distinction, among them General White

diers and served in that capacity to the
end of the war. Captain Lincoln be-
came Private Lincoln of the Independ-
ent Spy company.
After Lincoln became a private al
though he was never in an engagement,
he saw some hard service in scouting g
and trailing, as well as in carrying
messages and reports
We fortunately possess a narrative
of Lincoln's individual experience COW

pen Of George w. Harrison, his friend,
companion and messmate 1t is given

CHAPTER vi.
lincoln Becomes a Candidate For the
.,..l,+,,re

"NHE volunteers from SangamOn
returned to their homes shortly
before the state election, at
which, among other officers, as
semblymen were to be chosen. Lin
coins popularity had been greatly en-
HANGED by his service in the war, and
some of his friends urged him with
warm solicitations to become a candi-
date at the coming election. He pru-
dently resisted and declined to consent,
alleging in excuse his limited acquaint-
ance in the county at large, until Mr..
James Rutledge, the founder of New
Salem, added the weight Of his advice
to the nearly unanimous desire of the
neighborhood. 1t is quite likely that
Lincoln's recent military career was
thought to furnish high promise of
usefulness in civil affairs, but Mr.. Rut-
ledge was sure that he saw another
proof of his great abilities in a speech
which Abe was induced to make, just
about this time, before the New Salem
Literary society. The following is an
account of this speech by r. B. Rut-
ledge, the son Of James:
About the year 1882 or 1888, Mr..
Lincoln made his first effort at public
speaking. A debating club, Of which
James Rutledge was president, was
organized and held regular meetings.
AS he arose to speak his tall form tow
cred above the little assembly. Both
hands were thrust down deep IN the
pockets Of his pantaloons. A percepu-
BILE smile at once Ut up the faces Of the
audience. for al anticipated the Feaa-
ton Of some humorous story. But he

pie, but during the heavy run we
have almost double that number.
Most of our cannery hands are
Chinese and Japanese. The Chi
nese make the best men for the
delicate testing of the cans after
they have been soldered and
boiled. All our overseers are
white men, and, of course, are old
fishermen.
"Our new fish-cleaning machine
is the latest addition to the plant.
This machine is one of the most
marvellous inventions l ever saw.
1t scales and cleans the fish and
also cuts off the heads and fins
and washes the body ready for the
cans. From that machine they
slide down a chute, where they are
caught by another cleverly ar
ranged mechanism that cuts them
into pieces that just fit the cans.
Another machine puts the pieces
in the cans, and by means of an
endless chain they are passed
along to where the cans are auto
matically covered and soldered.
From the time the fish is put in the
cleaning machine it is never
touched by the hand of any man.
The use of machines insures per-
feet cleanliness.n

Suulrrels as Waiters.

It has taken Fisk Goodyear of Burehtown, Pa, two years to train his pet squirrels. but his efforts are now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he treated his friends to surprise
 Gathering half hundred or more gray squirrels, MT. Goodyear taught them to go into the woods and pick up nuts, carrying them to his home.
 On Thanksgiving night at dinner his guests noticed small board run ming from window to nut bowl. The host gave one knock on the table with his knife. A squirrel hopped down the plslk and dropped a chest nut into the bowl. Two raps brought a squirrel with a walnut, three knocks a shellbark
 Finally, grave old squirrel took his place and cracked the nuts, wind ing up the performance by brushing off the crumbs with his thick bushy tail,

THE MAN WITH THE SHOVEL.
There Are Millions of Him Delvine
 for Earths Wealth.

We sold in 1905," says a Boston manufacturer, 900 900 dozen shovels and delivered them to railroads, min ing companies and other large users One might think SO many shovels would be enough for a time, but this year our sales will amount to 400,- GOO dozen, or little less than 5,000,- 000 shovels'
 Every phase of activity entering into the prosperity of the country has been commented upon until it would seem that there is no feature entirely new. yet the production of shovels. certainly a fine index, has not been much thought about. Five million shoYels must mean great labor in im- provement and preparation for new wealth taken out of the earth. None tary records, new showings in im- ports and exports. manufacturing to- tals not before reached, and new high bank elearings have all been eonsid- cred as representative of the pros perity now enjoyed, yet nothing could be so truly significant as the illustra- tion here afforded This is the year of the man with the shovel Nothing more basic could be found, and an apt and expressive name for the period would be the year of the 5,000,000 shovels.- ls.-Minneapolis Journal.

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Man Victorious in Hand
 to-Hand Combat

Unarmed and alone. Thomas Dyke was attacked by wildcat on Locust mountain. south of Mount Carmel, Pa. He had been in Ashland and started to drive home. His horse stepped on a nail and he put the animal in sta ble.
 Then he started to walk home and was on the mountain when tho cries of a wildcat alarmed him A few minutes later he saw the beast ten feet in front of him. The animal finally sprang. He jumped aside and as the body of the cat struck the road he leaped upon 1t. For several min utes the fight between the wild ani- nal and the man went on. At length by quick swing he broke the aHi- malls back.
 A physician dressed the several deep scratches on his face and hands. but otherwise he was uniniured
