SILVER ANNIVERSARY
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Ullrich Cele.
brate an important Date in
Their Welded Life

Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. F. Ullrich, of the
town of Worthington, on Thursday of
last week celebrated the silver or 25th
anniversary of their marriage, which
occurred at Fremont Centre, ILL.,, on
Oct. 24th, 1882. A large number of
invitations had been sent out, which
were freely responded to, and about
IS of their relatives and friends as
sembled to assist in the festivities,
among whom we're the following from
Worthington:
Rev. Father John Sherman, DR.. and
Mrs. G. P. Dolan, Miss Glasgow, A.
M. Renner, Misses Calara and Myrtle
Maine and P. J. Martin. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ullrich received a large collec-
ton of handsome and appropriate
presents as reminders of the occasion.
Joseph F. Ullrich is one of Mobiles
county's most substantial and pro-
gressive farmers. He and his estim-
able spouse came to this county nine
teen years ago and they have devel-
oped one of the finest farm homes in
the county, and have become noted
far and wide for their genial hospital
ity. Mr.. Ullrich has during the past
summer remodeled and enlarged his
residence and fitted it up with many
modern conveniences at an. expense
of several thousand dollars, and they
have a home that is excelled by few
if any at the county capital. While
they have been fortunate in a materi-
al way, as the result of industry and
thrift, they have been equally blessed
in their home life, as nine interesting
children have been given them to
gladden. their hearts.

RlPpLES FROM
.. THE PANIC
EncircIe The Country, But with
Insignificant Effect on General
Business.
Banks Everywhere Refuse to Pay
Out Currency Except in
Small Amounts.

The effects of the financial panic
which engulfed a number of the stock
gamblers of Wall Street had by the
first of the week penetrated to every
corner of the country. The decision of
the banks in the reserve centers, New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, not to
ship out currency against balances
due other banks, was followed by SIM
liar action by all other banks, which
refused to pay out currency except in
small amounts. Business has been
carried on as usual, however, by
means of checks, and little or no in
convenience has been experienced by
any line Of business, except grain
dealers, and their business has been
at standstill for a few days. On
Monday or Tuesday the local buyers
received instructions not to take in
any grain except for storage. With
the exception of barley the market
has remained firm, but that cereal
was numerically slaughtered, drop
ping from 80 to 25 cents.
The local bankers say they could
not have been caught in better condi-
tion to Withstand the shock of panic.
They, however. took the precautiou to
hold on to the currency on hand.
Public Examiner Anton Schaefer
commends the banks of the state for
course taken, and considers that it
has been the means of avertAg more
serious consequences.
By the time this issue of the Ad-
vance reaches its readers the last rip.
pie of the panic will have subsidized.
tho embargo on currency movements
removed and everything move along
as though nothing had happened, for
nothing can really happen to check
the prosperity oftbe Northwest. The
experience is not without its lesson,
however. Something must be done
to prevent the recurrence of such un-
called for disturbances. The most
effective way would be to prohibit the
banks from becoming involved with
the stock gam blers of Wall Street.

A Successful Sale

The sale of thoroughbred Short
Horn cattle held last Friday
bv J. G. Williamson at the fair
grounds was decided success.
There was onlya fairly good attend
ance but nearly all seemed to be there
for business, and the bidding was
lively. There we're 80 head sold at
an average of nearly $64 per head.
The price paid for these cattle is a
striking object lesson in the profta-
bleness of raising thoroughbred stock.

THE INDIAN BAND
Will Be Heard at Masonic Hall To.
morrow Night

In presenting the truly American
Band Master, James Riley WheeIock
and his famous United States Indian
Band, the management feel confident
that every lover of music and true
American will be interested in the
progress of the real American Con-
ductor and his twenty-six American
Indian artists. The ability of the In
dian in taking up the educational arts
is sometimes questioned. That ques-
ton can mot be better answered
than by mere reference to Wheelock
and his famous and celebrated con-
cert band of twenty-six Indian musi-
clans. This organization without
question ranks with all the leading
concert bands in this country.
It is not a school band nor in any
way connected with the United States
Government but the members of the
organization are picked from the best
Indian artists in America, nearly all
graduates from some Institution of
learning. Every man speaks and
writes English, unlike other bands
that have foreigners who can neithor
speak nor write English. In every
sense u real American band. This
Band will appear at Masonic Hall to-
morrow night. Seats at Morland's.

minder of the occasion.

gan circling their exposed position.
the little band fought their way for
ward a hundred yards Then they
halted. blocked by the numbers bar
ring their path. glancing back anx-
iousiy in hope that their effort would
encourage others to join them. They
could do it; they could do it if only
the rest of the boys would come. They
poured in their volleys and waited.
But Reno made no move. Weir and
Brant, determined TO hold every inch
thus gained. threw the dismounted
men on their faces behind every pro-
lection of earth. and encircled the
ridge with flame. If they could not
advance, they would not be driven
back. Messenger after messenger,
taking life in hand. was sent skurry-
ing down the bluff, to beg reinforce
ments to push on for the rescue,
swearing it was possible. But it was
after five o'clock before Reno moved.
Then cautiously he advanced his col
umn toward where n and D troops yet
held desperately to the exposed ridge.
He came too late. That distant firing
had ceased, and all need for further
advance had ended. Scarcely had re-
inforcements attained the summit be
fore the torrent of savagery burst
screeching on their front.
From point to point the grim strug-
gle ragged, till nightfall wrought par
tial cessation. The wearied troopers
stretched out their lines so as to pro
tect the packs and the field hospital
threw themselves on the ground, dig
ging rifie-pits with knives and tin
pans. Not until nine o'clock did the
Indian fire slacken, and then the vii
lage became a scene of savage revel

soldiers above.

Anderson. Ind, Aug. Z. - While a

was at work near the factory of the
Gedge Bros roofing works four gon-

into the factory siding that they

Officer after officer, unable TO restrain

strong hand of a trooper grasping

of the officers met, there echoed down
to them from the north the reports of
two heavy volleys, fired in rapid sue

tinctly audible even above the uproar

two soldiers met, their dust-streaked
faces flushed.
