t I No business can possibly be ^ successful that is not aJver- 7 Used. 7 This is a sweeping statement, • but it is true. There are some T merchants in this community * whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have 4 attained any degree of success $ they have advertised. They have ^ let people know what they had to ^ sell, what they were here for and ^ what they proposed to do. Just ? in proportion to the thorough- 7 ness with which they have done • this and met the conditions of ^ their competitors they have sue- t ceec, J. 7 If they have used the newspa- pers they have worked with the # best tools ; ^ far as getting pub- licity is com. erned. If they have £ worked withi the newspapers £ they have been handicapped and ^ have not attained the highest ^ possible measure of success. A fertile seed plar'ed in fertile ground, carefully x atered, will thrive and Lear fruit. A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed.

T., July 7.—The Chey enne Indians near Calumet, in Cana dian county, are reported to be holding a council of war, angry over an ord^r Issued by Major Stouch, Indian agent, prohibiting them from practicing tor turcs, so-called, incident to their sun dance. The Indians are excited, and the whites near Calumet are becoming frightened. Major Stouch has ap prised the war department of the sit uation. About 2/100 Indians took part in the dance last week in cele bration of their religious festival, and the tortures were to have closed the meeting. This is the first time that the dances of the Cheyennes have been stopped by the government au thorities. The sheriff says the situation in the Hinsdale to Rochester, region is critical, and that if there is another outbreak like that of last Wednesday, when he and his deputies were assaulted while protecting non union miners, he will call upon Gov ernor Stone for protection by the mi litia. Twenty of the rioters were ar rested on Thursday at Williamstown and hold in bail .for court, but this does not seem to have improved the situation. The sheriff came this morning to make information against the rioters and returned to Lykens re gion at noon to assist his deputies if. arresting the strikers, for whom war rants have been issued.
