F the endeavor of the bank to build up, alone. their savings department The success of the bank is assured by its officers: they are experienced men In banking circles and will give their en- ergy to the up-building of this bank which starts under such propitious cir- cumstances.
 The officers and directors of the new bank are as follows: F.. c. Melvin. President; R. P. Anderson, yice-Presi- dent and Secretary; and the directors are, Messrs. c. w.

 This gives to Selma increased bank ing facilities of s100.000, and it is safe to predict that within few months the deposits of this bank will reach a large sum, particularly in view of the fact that one of the gentlemen inter- ested, states that they will commence business with a savings deposit of practically $1o0.o0o. giving this new bank working facilities of $2oo,00o on the day they open.

$4,000 THEFT IN
j. S. SUb.TREASURY
Mysterious Robbery in Chicago
Being Investigated.
EVERY EMPL0YE UNDER FIRE
All Clerks Rigidly Examined. But
Deny Any knowledge Of the
Robbery-Money Taken Was in
Bills Of Large Denominations.

Chicago.-The sum Of $4,000
was stolen from the United States
Sub-Treasury, and the Secret Service
agents of the Government at Chicago
and Washington still have no clue
to the thieves.
No man is missing from his post,
the books of the institution are in
perfect shape, no locks have been
forced or wagons have been robbed,
The money simply has disappeared.
Secretary Shaw, Of the Treasury
Department, was told of the theft
when in Chicago, and was in confer
ence with Sub-Treasurer BoldenwecE
and Secret Service officers.
All the money taken was in large
bills, bills Of the denomination OF
$1,000, $4,000 and $4,000.
At first it was believed that there
must be some error in the bookkeep-
ing. 1t was thought to be impossi-
BILE that such a large sum of money
could have been distracted in the
face Of all the safeguards thrown
around Uncle Sans strong box.
The ledger men involved siren
uously denied any error and an inves-
tigation showed there vas no possible
clerical mistake to account for the
disappearance Of the cash.
This brought the inevitable con-
clusion that robbery was the only ex-
PLANTATION.
Every man who could have had
anything to do with the case was
called into Treasurer Boldenweck's
office and put through an exhaustive
examination and a still more rigid
cross-examination. Captain Porter
of the Secret Service, assisted in the
inquisition.
They stood the ordeal, every one
of them. All denied any knowledge
of the theft and protested their in
nocence with unanimity and vocifer'
business.
Sub-Treasurer B~oldenweck is fran
tic over the theft. He and his bonds
men, who have been notified, are
legally liable to the Government fol-
the amount stolen, but Uncle San
rarely eXacts his pound of flesh Whe1
the head of an office in which a de-
falcation occurs is not personally tc
blame. A bill for the relief Of the
officer is introduced in Congress, with
the sanction of the department af'
fected, and the Government charges
the amount to profit and loss.
The Chicago Sub-Treasury handle;
in the course of a year something
like $500,000,0 900 in various forms OF
currency. From $4,000, 900 to $40,
100000 is in the vault every day Of
the year Through the exchange Of
one form of currency for another BY
Western banks the money used in the
West goes through the Chicago Sub
Treasury.
William Boldenweck vas appointed
Sub-Treasurer on June 28 last. He
succeeded William P. Williams.

POVERTY AND WEALTH.

The stork flew over a town one day,
And back of each wing an infant lay;
One to a rich mans home he brought
And one he left at a laborer's cot.
The rich man said: "My son shall be
A lordly ruler DER land INT sea-
fhe laborer sighed: "'Tis the good Gods
will
That I have another mouth to FILL"
Che rich mans son grew strong and fair,
And proud with the pride of a millionaire.
His motto in life was Live while you
may"
And he crowded years in a single day.
4e bought position and name and place,
And he bought a wife with a handsome
face.
he iourneyed over the whole wide world,
But discomfort in his heart lay curled,
like a serpent hidden in leaves and moss,
And life seemed hollow, and gold was
dross.
He scofed at woman and doubted God.
And died like a beast and went back to the
sod.
The son Of the laborer titled the soil.
And thanked God daily TO: health and toll.
He welded for love in his youthful prime,
And two lives chorded in tune and time.
His wants were simple, and simple his
creed.
TO trust God fully; it served his need
And lightened his labor and helped him to
die
with a smile on his lips and I hope in his
eye.
When all is over and all is done,
Now which of these men was the richer
one?

: Journal.

struggle. Half dazed at the sudden
awakening, he saw what few persons
have witnessed, a battle between two
bears. One "a Joe, now big and
lusty; the other was plainly a bear
of the woods, little inferior to Joe in
size, and not at all behind him IN his
desire for war.
Mr.. Monteith rose to his feet, and.
Selling his gun, which he had CHANGED
to bring with him, tried to take a
hand in the contest waging. His
movements apparently disconnected
Joe, and the woods bear took advan-
take of this by making a sudden
lunge, throwing Joe over, and SEEM
ing to disable him for a moment.
Then the woods bear turned his at
tention to MI. Monteth, and, with
clumsy swiftness, caught him before
he could use his gun.
But Joe had recovered and en-
ployed the same tactics his assailant
had successfully tried on him. The
woods bear fell and released his hold
of Mr.. Monteith, who lay PROSTATE,
SO great was his exhaustion, yet an
eyewitness Of what followed.
All the spirit of his ancestors
seemed revived in Joe, and he at
tackled the woods bear with a fierce
ness that carried success with it. Joe
had been taught how to wrestle, and,
to his owners amazement, he brought
these tactics into play. Selling his
antagonist from behind, he gave him
a Titantic hug. Then, suddenly push
ing the woods bear from him, he
darted forward with amazing swift
ness, and. swinging, brought down his
paw with a mighty blow on the back
of the woods bears head.
The latter fell like a log, nor did
he stir when Joe walked about him,
growing iercely and waiting for a
chance to renew the combat.
When Mr.. Monteith examined him,
he found him lifeless, his neck hav-
ing apparently been broken by the
tremendous blow that Joe had in
fiicted upon him. An hour later a
very tired man and a meek-appear-
ing bear reached the Rosseau home
of Mr.. Monteith, Joe ambling into
his quarters with the air Of a bear
whose duty had been we'll performed.

A TALE.
The Sky Rained Rams and Sheep in a
Colorado Canon.

In Southwestern Colorado, with
two of my friends, I stepped off the
narrow gauge train just at the en-
trance of the Black Canon, at a point
which was recommended to us as one
of the most favorable places for trout
fishing along the wild Gunnison
River. One day, while fishing right
under a cliff formed by one of the
plateau-supporting rocks, we were
aroused by a rumbling noise which
was distinctly audible above the roar
of the stream.
Then we saw the body of a sheep
floating down the stream; in another
moment We saw two sheep being car
ried down the torrent; the next mo-
ment a lamb fell within a foot of
where I was sitting. Then followed
a veritable shower of sheep. One Of
my companions was struck senseless,
and before l could go to his assist
ance I was struck on the head by a
large ran and was carried into the
raging river.
In this part of Gunnison rocks pro
trude above the surface of the water.
and no n can cross the stream
without assistance and hope to come
out alive. I was hurled from side
to side and from rock to rock, when,
after being carried down the stream
fully ten furlongs, I was washed up
onto a pile of sheep that had &c.
cumulated on one of the rocks. 1 was
bruised and scared to the point of
insanity, but l managed to reach tho
shore, although my life was again
imperilled by reason of a break in
the dam of sheep which had TEN.
porarily bridged the stream.
The explanation of the shower OF
sheep is as follows: The sheep and
cattle men, who each claimed the
plateau as their grazing ground, had
been engaged in bitter warfare. The
cattle men maintained that where the
sheep were allowed to Craze the land
was rendered unfit for cattle to Craze
upon, owing to the fact that the
sheep cropped the grass so closely
that there was nothing left for the
cattle On this particular morning
the sheep were in corral, and the an
gered cattle men took advantage of
the absence of the herders, opened
the gates of the corral, stampeded
them, and ran them to the edge of
the plateau, over which $500 OF the
sheep were Observation-Disclosures

The waist is made with a fitted

is a plain stock over which the tie
