RUSSELL BANK PAYS in FULL.
Depositcrs Get One Hundred Per
Cent Through Action of the
Brandon H-irc

The heirs of Thomas Brandon, who
was a partner with Mr.. Crocktr in the
Russell! Bank that was forced to close
it's doors through the failure of the First
National, are buying all the outstanding
certificates held by the depositors, and
are paying the balance due on them.
Receiver Anderson has already distrib-
uted about $47, 900 to the depositors,
which leaves S57 900 to be paid by the
Brandon heirs, in order to settle up
with all the claimants in full. Receiver
Anderson will still have $4,000 or more
to distribute, and it will now go to the
Brandon heirs, as they hold the deposit
tors certificates. Mr.. Brandon has Sc
cured permission from the district court
to sell part of his property which he
listed last year for the benefit Of the
denostnrs and the money is already be-
ing paid to the depositors. This action
will clear up the Russell Bank tangle
most satisfactorily, the depositors get
ting 100 cents on the dollar for all they
had in the Bank. in less than year
after the bank failed.
1t will have been year next Oct. 81
since the First National Bank crash in
this city. There has been much more
politics connected with the settlement
of the First National affairs, however,
than with those of the Russell Bank.
No immediate dividend is in sight for
the depositors OF the First National.

More Power to Your Stomach.
More Strength, More Pleasure,
More JOy. More Success in Life,

A popular evangelist some time ago
told of little Mississippi steamboat
that had big whistle with an awful
screech, but said he, every time the
whistle blew the boat stopped. Just
80, it is with many of us. We draw the
power away from the stomach and shoot
it off in making noise. Many PERSONS
stomach is like a hobby horse, all
motion and no progress. Now, if we
can only learn this simple lesson that
we must give the stomach more power
especially when it has been badly mis-.
used for time, then we will find that q
lot of our common little ills will vanish
as by magic. The stomach does not
want drastic measures applied to it,
and. in fact, will not stand it. 1t re,
volts, rebels, and causes suffering, and
more suffering.
What the stomach does require oc-
casionally is gentle soothing tonic
though potent enough to giveit strength
and courage. Such substance is
decidedly helpful, while examining
dyspepsia dope and laxatives into the
stomach is about the very worst thing
that we can do. Feed to the stomach,
when it calls for it, an extra supply OF
digestors, 80 it can more easily mature
the food and prepare it for the blood
and then you will be doing your stom
ach a good turn. Go to Bell & Robin.

The New Year
BY Anna NJ. Paris.

A stranger guest is here today.
He comes unasked, ne needs must
stay
For, entering at the open door
Holding in either hand q, store
Of goodly gifts-he eagerly
Awaits welcome glad from me
But yet he gives no pledge or sign
By which his thought / may divine.
I fear this strange unbidden guest.
Fair is his mien, but will his quest
Bring aught of joy or hope to me
The promise of the past will he
Blight or fulfil? Doubt chiils my
heart.
Those cherished dreams-will they de-
part?
The memories that haunt me So
The treasures of the Long Ago
Guarded with care-surely to him
Will be but phantoms pale and dim
And yet, methinks, he has the way
OF one l knew but Yesterday.
All yes, his brother well I knew,
He was comrade tried and true.
Together many weary mile
We've journeyed. Oft did he beguile
With song the way. and where he led
Though 'clouds hung low, just over
head
Beyond rs.e storm-the deepest blue
Through riffs he'd f1nd-where flowers
grew,
Thither. through byways wild and
sweet
He lured, from thorny paths. my feet
But he is gone-just yester night
Without a sign he passed from sight
Fresh are the flowers on his bier
He comes not back--tT1e old dead
Year!
Then to my spirit comes a voice
It's joyous notes ring clear-''Rejoice-
Mourn not the years-the past is
For naught is lost, the best endures.
The gifts you see, they are the gain
OF what you've sown with toll and
pain.
The New Year from the Old Years
loss
Shall garner much. Gold from it's
Shall purify-sharl bring to birth
Such fruits of Love as bless the earth.
And Hope shall sing it's song of yore
With deeper meaning than before.
And in the Young Years horoscope
The Old shall live in radiant Hope
In Courage born of clearer sight
Now dawns the Day, where once was
Night"
The voice is silent. Doubt and fear
Have fed. and in the sunlight clear.
With gifts abundant, stands Today
I follow where he leads the way
In radiance beyond I see
A glad Tomorrow waits for me!
