STORY IN FIVE WORDS.
Il Told Of tho Massacre Of Genera.
Clusters Command.


Clusters Command.
Probably the most startling piece
of news that was ever sent out into
the world was the announcement of
the massacre of General Custer and
his command in 1876. The terrible
news was SO unexpected that it came
like bolt from clear sky. 1t
brought feeling of sickening hor-
ror to the heart of every man who
read it or heard it on the street. 1t
passed from lip to lip as it became
known in the west and the east.
There were friends and relatives Of
the murdered men in all parts Of
the nation, and the gallant COM
mander was himself a national hero.
For two days the nation waited
breathlessly for information regard
ing the disaster additional to the
brief general announcement Of the
calamity that had been sent out as
soon as the news was known in Bis
marck, N. D., which was then the
extreme northwestern office of the
telegraph company. That first mes
sage was brief one; but, after all,
it told the whole story.
That message was bit of "wire
talk" sent from Bismarck to Fargo
on the morning of July s, 1876, and
it said, Gail the Clusters are killed.
The message was sent by J. M. Car
nahan, manager of the Western
Union office in Missoula, and it was
thus that the news was first sent
eastward. From Fargo it was re-
peated to st. Paul, and st. Paul
sent it, in turn, to Chicago, and
from there it was passed along to
cities, towns and hamlets, telling its
brief but terrible story tersely, but
completely.
There was but a single wire east
from Bismarck in those days, and
government business had the first
call upon this; consequently Oper-
ator Carnahan had only time to
I flash forward this brief message Of
general information before he was
compelled to begin the transmission
of the official report of General
Terry to the war department. Fol
!wenty-four hours he sat at his key
clicking off this mass Of official cor
respondence.
All this time the eastern papers
were clamoring for news, but il
could not be given to them. So per
sistent were these demands for. news
that Mr.. Carnahan obtained The
| permission of Colonel Smith, The
member Of Terry's staff who hae
brought in the official dispatches
to make up a short Special from
the information contained in the re
ports of the officers. This specia
was sent to the New York Herald
and is believed to be the first au
thentic news of the Big Horn mas
sacre that was sent out, aside from
the official dispatches.-Cincinnat
Enquirer.

Advertising Absolutely Necessary for
Building Quick and Perma-

Many business has been built
quickly without advertising: many n

without advertising. But advertising
Is an absolute necessity II you want
to build successful business both
quickly and permanently.
Advertising is not magic; II ia not
a substitute for brains and hard work:
1t is not a panacea for all the Ills OF
business; 1t is not dead certainty.
Advertising IS the greatest single
force in Industry. business and com.
merce today; II is an expansive force:
1t is a creative force; 1t is an inten-

1t Is conserving force; it is an i'm

Using, we would be without many of
the comforts In our homes today. We
would not know so much about the
automobile, the loose leaf ledger sys-
