Toilets for calling are being built with special reference to outdoor Wear without a wrap, or, at best, for a loose cloak or mantle of fur, to be left in die scringe or the hall. Bodices of heavy, ‘ .warmly lined broadcloth are popular, with boleros or small Etons of fur or velvet. A tiny black velvet bolero is trimmed down the fronts and most odd­ ly about its edge by a frill of thickly plaited block ribbon which stands out from the figure almost like a ruche above a very tight and high ceinture of moire. The bodice beneath is plair. to the pfeint of severity, with a military choker, about which is tied a black rib­ bon. with a short, square bow under the chin. In the tortoise-blue broadcloth, with black velvet bolero, overlaid with motifs of cream Honiton and caracule fur. black moire ribbon ruffles, and ceinture, the effect is stunning. Motifs of fur and lace arc used to trim the skirt in deep, square scallops, knee deep, with plaitings of black ribbon beneath. Whole blouses of glace-print­ ed velvet are very French}. with thick ruches of fu“r about the throat, and j perhaps fur sleeves and a yoke of fur 1 on the broadcloth skirt. Ruches of i fur seem a bit improbable, but designers are capable of making a fabric serve every purpose, however foreign to its popular use. They are usually mode of caracule. that thin, expensive . mul very’ fashionable fur. that is so adaptable. u . Ruffles _« of this fur are aim ’ Vtyliah.

Generations of children hsve found pleasure in witnessing the antics of Punch and Judy, and the mimic the­ ater in which their adventure*are dis­ played still give* amusement to both young and old. The origin of this al­ ways attractive entertainment ia not English, a* many who have enjoyed it may suppose, hut according to an oki book, Punch and Judy are of Italian ancestry. In the district of Acerza, near Naplee. the people are very much addicted to tbe making of wine from grapes;.and it is curious that from antiquity they have been famous foi their love of droll wit and ootnic fun. Many years ago in the season *f tbe vintage, which is a time when every­ body seems to be full of fuu and frolic, some comic players came along through Acexua. They began to poke fun at tbe vintager*, and ia war of wit the players got the worst of it. Now, there was among the vintager* a fellow with an enormous red nose, long and cropked like a powder horn; and he waa the very drollest and wit­ tiest of the whole coinpany. The play­ ers were so tickled with his witty say­ ings, all set off by his odd face and very queer air and manner, that they almost went into hysterics with laughter. After they went away they began to think that this droll fellow would be a great s’iccess to their company; *o they went back and mada offer* to him* These be accepted; and such waa the success of his efforts that the company acquired great fame and u great deal Of money. Everybody went to ye Ulis Witty buffoon and aJ were delighted. Chicago is afflicted with the trolley heart. Her people have a new kind of palpitation to deal with. Physician* say that in time it may prove dangerous and end in genuine heart palpita­ tion. The rapid introduction of tbe trolley cars to Chicago’s street railway system is the cause of this new disease, and indirectly the officials of tbe dif­ ferent street railway companies may l>e said to have unwittingly given it. to the people. The trolley heart, us the doc­ tors call it, comes from the jolting and shaking which passengers on the elec­ tric car receive when they sit at-either end of the cars or stand on. one of the platforms. The disease ia less notice­ able in passengers who sit down than in passengers who stand .up. It is also a fact that the motormon on on electric car is rarely troubled with it, while the conductor is a constant sufferer. The trolley cars are so constructed that when in motion they have a pecul­ iar see-saw vibration. They rise and fall, whether tbe track is rough or smooth, like small wave* on the sea­ shore. This motion is not irregular, but constant. It might be raid to be rythmical. It is felt ns strongly on the rear end of the ear as in front. The only part of the car where a passenger will not notice it is in the middle, and many worthy citizens who have been This example led to the establishaffected by the trolley heart now moke ■mer.t of a droll or buffoon in al) .comvigorous effort while riding to be in the par. .s 01 couietiiazs; ana parr* of comedians; and ne be was al al-­ middle. the appearance of u rude semblance of ways called after the original one, After the car is started and under full 8 man, is a lively little spring that, flow­ whone name was Pucco d’Aniellq.

Indians disappeared about tbe time that a disorderly person. Tbe real reason for bls incarceration is the allegation that be hypnotized Miss MaryT. Whit man, a hand­ some young woman,end married her while she was under hls baleful Influence. Four weeks ago Main applied at tbe Woodburn cottage on West Third street for board. He told the landlady. Mrs. Eva Wight, that he was a phrenologist and palmist, could also tell fortunes, and pos­ sessed the power of hypnotism but had no funds. His clothing and general aspect were suggestive of tbe fact toat he might have seen better days.and the kind-hearted landlady took him in, telling him be might remain one week. Once ensconced In comfortable quarters the young man settled down to enjoy life, and of course made the acquaintance of tbe landlady’s charming sister, Miss Mary T. Whiteman.who was stopping at the house. The young lady had been keeping company with an estimable young man of this city for the last two years, and, it Is said, was engaged to marry him soon. It was not no­ ticed that Main paid the young woman any more than the ordinary courtesies required by politeness, although members of the family now recall that he seemed to posses* some mysterious influence uver her when she was Ln his presence, and the young woman herself declares that she has no power of resistance wtieu he Is near. During tiie four weeks trt his stay Main paid Mrs. flight only 84 and wax getting along famously until Wednesday afternoon. Miss Whitman came down town with her mother and met Main on the street while her mother was shopping. He proposed marriage, was accepted, and tne prospect­ ive groom started out at once on Ids skirm­ ish line, telling her 10 wait for him. He found Henry Arnold and Horatio Sprague, who consented to "act as witnesses, and then, being penniless,be applied fur a loan to pay th- marriage fee. Falling in this he borrowed another man’s hat for the oc­ casion and proceeded with Miss Whitman to the office of Justice E P.^Mahoney. Here Mr. Arnold volunteered to guarantee the marriage fee, and the ceremony was per­ formed. Tpe groom was in the gayest of spirits, but the bride seemed moody and downcast and had little to say. After .the ceremony the couple- went to the (tome of Mi*. Ar­ nold, aud their failure to put iu an appear­ ance at the usual time for supper resulted In an investigation that brought to light the true state of affairs. The girl’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen C. Whiteman, and her sister were heart­ broken ai-tbe startling intelligence and at once sought legal advice to see if the mar­ riage could not be set aside, but nothing definite was accomplished at the time and the couple were • permitted to go to Mrs. Wight’s house. The next day* however, hostilities were renewed. The bride of less than a day.it is said, declared to her parents that she bad no 1 ecollect Ion of the marriage ceremony or ot the events that Immediately followed. She bad awakened now to a realization of -lhe fact that she wa* united to a man whom she bad knowu but a few weeks and could never hope to regain the affections of him wltn whom she had plighted tro b. After consultation with attorneys Main was arrested on tomplaint of tbe parents on the charge af being a disorderly person. Previous to thia action, however.the young bride had been taken to (he home of her parents ou Jones and Gifford avenue and the groom wotked himself into a fine hys­ terical frenzy a» be wrung bls hands and cried aloud for hls wife. In answer to questions he said that he was 35 years old. waa lairn in Hastings, Micb..and that his father lived at Sheldon, 111. He further said that he was a phre­ nologist and Dalmlst, that he was a mem­ ber of the Episcopal church, aud temper­ ate. Main L.lked • f telegraphing Io hls father for bail, which was placed at $400. but made no attempt to do so and was lucki d up. He was smii by a reporter and seemed convulsed with spasms of grief that came aud went like April showers. In answer to questions he said that bo had been out­ rageously treated, ahd while walling out hls diitlreM cried loudly fur hls wife. Main said he and Miss Whitman wan much attached to rach other. They feared that Miss Whitman’s parents would not const nt to tbelr union, and therefore, con­ cluded to get married without asking per­ mission. “But they have tom her from me”, he walled. “My Gud, sir. are you a married man? If you are. yon know what il is!” he shouted,but on being answered iu tbe neg­ ative he grew calm again,and in answer to further questions sail) he had worked at numbering buildings in several large cities, had worked in many large hotels and clubs In different parts of the country, including New York and Detroit.

To a reporter she declares positively that she had not even the most vague recollection of wbat transpired after her inerting with Main on the street until af­ ter he left her tbe next day. The affair has created a profound sen­ sation here, owing to the position held by the bride In society.

Yet Arcturus is 11.500,000 times as far away as the sun. The sun's diameter Is 886.000 miles, and therefore the dinmeter of Arcturns must be about 71.000.000 miles, while its bulk is 551,000 times greater than the sun. Therefore, if every point upon it is os bright as the corresponding point on the snn Arcturus must shine 6.724 times more brilliantly than-the sun. Such a globe ns near to us as the 81111* is would fill half the sky. but- we never could live in such proximity to it. If the earth could be moved through fpnee toward Arcturus the spectacle that would-be presented to its inhab­ itants as they approached that great star would be Of indescribable magnifi­ cence. When we had arrived within some­ thing less than 8,000,000.000 miles of itits light and heat woGld be equal to that which we get from our sun ata distance of only 93,000,000 miles. When we ap­ proached it.as close as Neptune the in­ tensity of its heat would begin to be unbearable. At the distance of Jupiter it would smite the earth with the re­ sistless energy of its radiation. The forests would burn, the oceans rise from their beds in vapor, the ground would f^nk. and before we could approach ns close as the earth is to the snn. the whole of our globe would be melted and ‘dissipated in steam. Truly. Arcturus is a king among stars, nnd our sun. great- and brilliant 1 ns it is. if dropped into the blazing phot• osphere of that great planet would be instantly swallowed up and the only visible evidence of its fate would be a sudden flash. Upon the sun the force of gravity is 27 times as great as upon the surface of the earth, but upon Arcturus it would be 2.20D times ns great, so that a man weighing 200 pounds on the earth, when transporte<l to Arcturus would l»e crushed under his own weight of 444,­ 000 pounds, in a speck, almost before the fires of that mighty solar surface could consume him.

Bullfinches are eas­ ier to teach, but they are so short-lived that the results are scarcely worth the trouble. A canary will keep his voice and memory for eight or ten years, and be makes the sweetest music in the world.” The German's patience and love of music make him most successful in the training of canaries, and nearly all of tbe schooled songsters in Philadel­ phia have been educated by Germans.

In this case it was a draw. Charges of fraud In connec­ tion with the city hall building were free­ ly made and denied. The affair had a happy ending however in that an investi­ gating committee of citizens and members of the council was chosen to Investigate some of the various rumonj that have been ail mt.

Banner Print Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Windstorm, Company of this city has attracted tbe at­ tention, and excited the admiration of In­ surance men even out side of this state.^ ) The Ompany has enjoyed a marvelous growth,' and what is better, a healthy growth, from the.very day that It became an organization In accordance with ideas that had their conception in the fertile brain of its Secretary—Mr. D. W. lingers. Each year ha* seen a steady growth, that of last year eclipsing even tne wildest dreams, or expectations. Organized tn 1885, the Company started out with 159 members and 8168,710 risks, and on Dec. 3l-t last there were 11.768 members and 814.477,280 in risks. During tlie j ear 1896 the Company grew irom 8.089 member* and 89.515,761 in risks tu 51.768 uirmlwrs and 314.477.280 in risks—a gain of 8.769 members and nearly $5,000.01)0 In risks. This is a mutual insurance company and yet during the 12 yearn uf Its existence I. has never yet levied an assessment upon its members, strange as it may seem. This has been made possible because each mem­ ber upon joining the Company, really pays oue assessment uf 20 cents on each 5100 Insured In advance, and so rapidly has the company gro*n that the advance assessments have paid all losses and left a comfortable cash-sui plus. Last year tbe company paid out over $4000 for losses in various parts of the state, ail of which were met promptly ami satisfactorily. The 4 4 <9 4 4 4 4 4 4 W.

' WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE, Tliough Many Admit It Hurta Them. Many ladies have so great a liking for coffee for breakfast that the meal seems flat and unsavory without It; but the mud­ dy complexion whicn is almost a sure accompaniment Is a great trial, and tbe question is seriously discussed many and many times over in one's mind, whether it is possible to give over the coffee and gradually get back the lost complexion, or keep on with the coffee and get on with the bad skin and make lhe best uf IL The disordered stomach and liver some­ times bring on m ire serious troubles. To quit the use of coffee is the only true relief: it contains the same poisonous alkaloids as tobac ■«. styrchuine and mor­ phine, although less in volume. One can use the delicious hot Food Coffee.

NNYROYAL PILLS 336 So, Agent, Chicago, HI. �Hastings Banner ■ Thursday, Jan. 14, 1897^ COOK BROS. Proprietors. IN FOREIGN LANDS ! Bamble* in Cambrlug««t*lre, England. (By J. L. Crawley.) The earth and grass were still wet—the mult of the previous night’s rain—aud dull clouds overhung the sky on the July . aorning when we started on our first ramblr through Cambridgeshire, England. Tbe route selected was tbe road from the quiet market-town of Sahara to the City of Ely, a distance of six miles. We paused a few minutes to gaze upon the fine embattled tower of Sahara chnreh, and then went on our way through the went etui of the town, and having reached that unenclosed portion of grassland termed -The Shade," the tower aud octa­ gon of Ely Cathedral became visible in the openings of the trees which border the roadside. It Is the season wNp lhe feathen songsters are singing sweerand low, and occasionally one darts across our path with IU mouth full of wool on its way to build Its little home in tree or hedge-row; the pear and plum trews are heavily laden with rich and luscious fruit, and flowers filling the air with their fragrance. About an hour’s travel brings us to the •mall village of Stuntney. Here we get a nice view of Ely Cathedral. A mass of houses, part of the town of Ely, is seen to the right of the Cathedral, with a tali brewery chimney. Conspicuous to lhe left is the spire of 3t. Mary’s church peep­ ing above the trees. Before crossing the stone bridge and visiting the town and cathedral, we will turn to the left and go about a mile down the side of lhe river Ouse, and note the aspect of the place. Standing here within view of that noble pile, which is said to be the largest Gothic edifice in Europe, we paused and looked round on a spot which wits in the past, tbe battlefield where, lite last -hopes of England were collected” In lhe ramp of Refuge, to resist the forces of the Norman ^Conqueror. The isle of Ely was lu all ln'tents an Inland island, being surrounded on every side by lakes, meres and broad rivers, which become* still broader in tlie season of rain, there being few a ill tidal embankments to confine them, aud few or no droves or cuts to carry off the increase of water toward tlie Wash and Lhe sea. ThisHsle had Its name from Hellie. or Elig, a British name for the willow, which grew In great abundance in every part of it, and which formed In many parts low, but fcimpenetrable forests wit!) marshes and quagmires under them or within them. Within the compass of the waters which marked the limits of the country, iQni iso­ lated it from the neighboring countries, which from south to north, fur he length of well-nigh one hundred miles, aud from tv WWt fvr tbv ffvll-n’.eh forty lulled. Were a succession of Inland island, formed like Ely itwlf. This then, history tells us, was the field uf strife, where the ancient Britous fought with their rude weapons, and great but una­ vailing bravery against tbe well disci­ plined legions of Rome. And it was here also that the fierce Saxon invaders over­ came the ancient Britons ,tn bloody battles and were in their turns defeated by tbe Danes, the Norwegians and the Normans. But in the intervals of peace, when for brief periods of time men ceased to slay each other, the sweet music of the Abbey bells were heard over the wide wateis of tbe fens softening the rude hearts of the fun men, and from the ‘ Great bouse at Ely” the principles of Christianity were surely spreading to the towns and vil­ lages built upon the heights which rose all round, heights which were never whol­ ly submerged, not eVen when the waters were the deepest. We learn that It was in the year 678 that Queen Etheldreda founded a monas­ tery at Ely. It was for both men and women. Previous to her laying lhe foun­ dations of a church here, which she dedi­ cated to the Blessed Virgin, there was a church on this spot which was destroyed during the wars between East Anglia and Mercia. Two hundred years rolled away, the Danes then came to these parte, and tbe voices of monks and nuns were hushed in death. In tbe year 1066, that memorable per­ iod ot Eugilsh history, when tbe last of the Saxon Kings (Harold) lost at the ter­ rible battle of Hastings both crown and life. A Camp of Refuge was formed here, where a few thousand of men—some from the highlands—and fen men from the ad­ jacent fens, kept the Norman forces long ■t bay. The Camp of Refuge. It is stated, was not In Itself a very not liable place. But for tbe army and tbe last hopes of England collected there, the traveller might have passed It without any particnlar observation. there being several such places In the fen country, partly surroun­ ded by embankments of earth, and wholly girded in and doubly or trebly girded by rivers, ditches, pools and meres. The em­ bankments bad i>een first made In very re­ mote ages, by those who first attempted to drain parts of the fen country: but tradi­ tion said that those peaceful works had been made to serve tbe purposes of de­ fensive war.ln those days,which history inJorns us, when thelcenl stood against their Roman invaders, when the Britons stood agalust tbe first Saxons, and when lhe flaxous opposed lhe Danes. After nearly five years of conflict with the Normans, when the Danes bad by promises of assistance which were never performed, succeeded in despoiling the Abbey of Its ireasure, and, ••Wheu everything else was consumed and gone, there remained within tbe broad limits of trie camp, great droves uf tbe finest nnd fattest cattle.” We eannul r. fleet with other than feel­ ings of deep iiArrest upon the battle by which the la>t strong-hold of the Saxons was lost. The Norman king had collected a great huM from out Of the several shires of Huntington, Cambridge. Leicester, Nottinabam. Derby. Warwick and others, with which he attacked the Saxon camp. Altbouxti some uf ;he traitorous monks of Ely bad giv n th^ Normans the clue to lhe watery iabjiliith, which led lu the interior of Lhe camp. Hereward and his chiefs and men were un lhe alert, when two hours after midnight the war-cry of tbe Normans was heaid just under the southwestern face uf tne camp. The day was just dawning when me large bodies of the Norman.', favored by the darkness aud the confusion of the deceived Saxons, poured into the camp. The Saxons rallied to the ezy of ‘Hereward tor England.” but other maaaes entered lhe camp after much dgtitiug. and Hereward and his men found themselves surrounded on ail sides, it was a terrible haud-tu-baud battle; the . tlaxuM warriors shouting -Holy rood! litoy ’ rood! R-mem’wr HaMinrs;” the Motauns siHu-.ed “Notre Dame! Notre Dame! Dleu Aide!

I had no intention when I began this letter to give -’the history of this terrible battle, and if Nhe reader will pardon me. we will now retrace our steps, cross lh»river by the stone bridge, and proceed on our way to the Cathedral. We cannot help but glance as we pass the Great East­ ern Railway station, at tho white smoko and polished brasses of the engines, which appear to be impatient to start on their swift race, bearing their human freight far from thfs peaceful scene, perchance to some smoky manufacturing town in the north of England, or pie gay metropolis. A few minutes walk and we are standing on the palace green, looking at the farfamed Cathedral, and In in my next will describe to the reader as twt I can, both the exterior and tbe Interior of;thla grand old edifice.

Mr. Haight at his death ,was 86 yean*, seven mouths and eight days old. He had always been hale, hearty, rugged and strong having experienced but little sick­ ness during bls long life. In his younger days he was quite an athlete, being a great wrestler aud jumper, and even at the age of seventy years be would jump with any of the young men and nearly always succeeded in making the longest jump. He was also in his younger days the great -Nimrod” of this section of tbe country, being an unerring shot and al way- succeeding In killing more deer and wolves than any other hunter In his locality, anu o.ily a short time proceeding Ills death, he would take great pleasure in pointing out to the children the exact spot on his farm where he had killed deer and wolves. Mr. Uaight’a early life was full of hardships, living many miles from market and being compelled to bring his provisions and groceries from klong distances. At one time he went after a supply of provisions and groceries and building a raft on the Grand River loaded his supplies on It. When near where Portland now Is his raft went to pieces, which accident was a severe loss to Mr. Haight. Mr. Haight was one of the first four Justice of lhe Peace of the township of Woodland, always executing the duties of his office without fear or prejudice. At lhe time of his death he was not only the oldest pioneer of our township but was the only one of the three who came to­ gether. that had survived to that time. He wns a kind husband, an Indulgent father and was always (eady to assist the needy. He was intelligent, honest and upright, had a big heart, was quick to re­ sent an insult and had tlie luve and re­ spec! uf his townsmen. The funeral occurred at the home of his -on-in-law and daughter Mr..ami Mr*. Lafayette Parrott on Friday of last ‘ .nt one o’clock p in The remains were Interred at the Wheeler Gemetery.

The cousin came, ocordingiy, landed in New York, and came over to Brooklyn to find the address she bad received. She reached the heights, finding her way by asking strangers, but when she hud arrived there sho could not find the street in which her cousin lived. Tbe longer she wandered about the streets the more hopelessly involved she be­ came. Finally, in despair, she deter­ mined to ring the doorl»ell of tiie near­ est house and ask. She did so, and the door was opened by a noble-looking old man, with a magnificent physique and wavy hair. She asked him the address, but instead of answering her he asked in a kindly way what she wanted. Encouraged by Lis manner, the young immigrant told him her troubles and explained why she wanted the address. “Well,* said he, “you just wait till I get my hat. and I’ll go along and show you tiie way." In a moment he reappeared, and the strange couple started off together. As they walked he asked her all about herself, and her life and troubles in the old country, and she told him every­ thing. They chatted together like old friends, and rhe young woman, delight­ ed as she was with her nrfw friend, could not understand the reason of the puzzled glances that met them from every one whom they passed. At last they stopped before a haidsonie house. and the old man said: “You stand, hero at tbe gate till I ring the bell." He then went down to tbe base­ ment door, and when the servant girl appeared at the dodr^ie asked: “Does Bridget Dowd live hereT’ -!J“Yes, a .----sir,” said the servant; “she’s the upstairs girl.*’ “Well,’’ said the visitor, chuckling to himself, “will you kindly tell her that Mr. Beecher would like to mw her*" The cirl carried thfc message upstairs, but on the way she met some of the wcnibers of the fnmrly, to whom she ^old the astonishing thing tirnt had oc curred. . “What!" said one of the ladies. “Mr. Beecher at the basement door? How dreadful! Why didn’t yon ask him to the front door? Go right down, you foolish girl, and ajx»iogize to him and ask him to come to the other door." But Mr. Beecher firmly refused to budge from the basement door. He wanted to sec Bridget Dowd, and in a few minutes that young woman, much flu st rated at the honor that was Im: i ng done her, came to the door. “Are you Misa Dowd?” asked Mr. Beecher. "Well,* said he, beckoning to the young woman at the gate, who now came forward tuid was revealed for the first time to her amazed cousin. “do you recognfze this young woman T Rut there was no answer. The two girls flew into each other’s arms, show­ ering Irish greetings upon each other, and Mr. Beecher, his face wrest hetlwitfy smiles, turned away. They recovered themselves enough to run after him and try to thank him, but he would lis­ ten to nothing.

Tho message treat* at length with the prosperous conditions of the state’s ilnaces. and also glvee much attention to the educational Interests ot lhe state. Th® governor reviews the school system In de­ tail, and presents many suggestions to promote Its efficiency. "No educational factor," hn says, "has been more potent In making the school life attractive to the children and enlarging the scope of their I'T'Oka to which access Is furnished through tho medium of the township library.” An extension of th® scope of lhe town­ ship law Is one of the chief recommenda­ tions. The governoK In advocating a ooard of pardon says: ■ "The applications for partions and com­ mutations have so multiplied as to render it difficult for the executive, with the other duties devolving upon him. to give to each case tho Inveatigation apd consideration which the exercise of j»o delicate and great 1 power demands. 1 am constrained, therefore, to urge ujmn your cqnsMeration the wisdom of so amending the constitu­ tion an to create a board of pardon*, in which. In conjunction with the executive, or otherwise, this power shall be lodged.” The Charlotte Tribune says Frank Ward raised 5,300 bushels of corn last year on a farm io Vermontville, and husked 2,500 bushels of it with his own hands. He thought, as it was worth only ten cents a bushel he could not afford to pay the price for husking, cents a bushel aud board, and hence his record as a corn busker. Some party placed In the contribution box last Sunday at an Eaton Rapids church a half-fare cash receipt over the . Lake Shore, punched Lansing to Dimon­ dale. The probabilities are that the doner of the worthless bit of paper was a strap­ ping big man that beat the railroad com­ pany in this manner for a ride from Lans­ ing to Eaton Rapids and has an idea be can slip,by St. Peter at the gate by using the same tactics. He may repent about tbe time he is assigned to a seat on the to­ boggan. The Grandest Remedy. Mr. R. B. Greeve. merchant of Ch Howie, Va.. certifies that he had consumption, was given up to die, sought all medical treatment that money could procure, tried all cough remedies be could hear of, but got no relief; spent many nights sitting up in a chair; was induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery, and was cured by use of two bottles. For past three years has been attending to business, and says Dr. King’s New Discovery is lhe grandest remedy ever made, as it has done so much for him and also for others in his community. Dr. King’s New Discovery is guaranteed for Coughs, Colds and Consumption. It don’t fail. Trial bottles 10 cts. at W. H. Goodyear’s Drug Store.

H A STI N GS BANNER IN FOREIGN LANDS. the burial place of many of the most emi­ nent men which England has produced; and Salisbury Cathedral with its tapering spire piercing the blue sky amid the trees which adorn the Avon’s banks, can boast a more regular structure, still Ely Cathe­ dral by Its vast proportions, and the rich­ ness of Its Internal and external decorntiuus. stands to-day almost unrivalled as an object of interest to the student of architecture, or the lover of the pictur­ esque. We now enter tbe cathedral by the Gali­ lee porch at tbe west end. The porch is of the early English period and Is admit­ ted to be one of the finest specimens of that style of architecture. The slender pillars are somewhat crumbling and wear­ ing away under the hand of time, that powerful and irresistible baud, which spares no structure, however graceful. Both arches of this porch are exceedingly beautiful, being adorned with rich and elegant mouldings. Passing-through the inner arch of entrance and the tower, we enter the nave and behold the main body I of the cathedral in all Us majesty. Those massive and still stately pillars which sus­ tain so much weight, are a portion of tbe building which show tbe strength of the Norman style of architecture. We learned that In the year 1083 Abbot Simeon commeuced the building of the present cathedral. He began with the erection of the south-eastern transept His successors. Abbot Richard and Blabop Harvey, built other portions of tbe nave and transepts. The nave and the Gue western trausept thus illustrates the change which took place in the Norman period of architecture, from Its earliest period of simplicity a d strength, to those later Umes when the greater richness of the transition period became general. The nave was completed about 1170. With lingering steps we walk down the nave to where the beauties of tbe octagon and ebolr are seen in tiie distance, inviting us as it were to inspect them. As we have become somewhat weary, we sit down for a time iu one of the chairs immediately under the octagon, aud gaze upwards at the vast suspended roof, which is the “special glory of the cathedral.” I learned that lu lhe year 1322 the great central Norman tower, which occup ed the place of the present octagon, fell with so great a crash, that the people of the city thought that an earthquake had happened. After­ wards a very skillful architect conceived tbe plan of the octagon, and, although nearly five hundred years have passed away since the execution of his design, still remains an enduring proof of the skill of the builders of the olden times. This noble work of art possessed many features of great interest. Tbe beautiful arches, the elegance and richness of the ornamentation, wreathes-of flowersand foliage forming the capitals, the corbels on which are sculptured various figures, among others being tbe twelve Apostles silting, holding symbolical Instruments:— St. Peter, lhe keys; St. John, a chal­ ice and dragon; and eight scenes from (be life of its foundress. Queen Etheldreda. Indeed, so many sculptured corbel* and •talned glass windows bear representa­ tions of the chief incidents of her life, that it may be well to dwell briefly on them here. The records of some of the events in the life of Etheldreda, read like some strange romance. She was born about lhe year tk>u, at Exning near Newmarket. She was first man fed to Topbert, a rich prince, whose death left ber id the posses sion of the Isle ot Ely. She afterwards became a queen by tier second marriage, to Egfrld. king of Northumberland. And on one of the niches of the shafts of tbe octagon is n sculptufed representation of tbe celebration of her marriage with the Northumberland king. Afterwards she laid aside her crown and took the Yell al Coidlnghani. This subject ornaments a second niche.

Here too is the POISONS IN EVERY FOOD. * Ixxfinlteslm&l in Quantity, Hot Vlrnteat If CeneentratoA One of the curious and littie-known facte brought to light by recent inveatigutiona is that in almost every kind of food some small amount of poison is to be found. Often, the quantity ia ao amall that comical analysis doea not reveal it, and it is only dhrovered by tertMin effects upon the human system under certain conditions. Small as these quantities of poison are, however, iu comparison with the other constitu­ ents of any one food, they do exist, and are ixrisons of a deadly sort. Conoentrated, the amount of poison that is taken into the system during an average lifetime would be sufficient to kill an army instantly. Yet the extremely minute ftiigments absorbed during each meal not only do not harm, but seem al­ most health-giving. At least, it is cer­ tain that many of the most dangerous CURRENCY REFORM.

Emile Duboc tells nn amusing story of an event, which, he says, cer­ tainly led to the downfall of hydraulic machinery in the French service. A few years ago tbe authorit ies of a great shipbuilding firm were very much per­ turbed when the trials for turning the turrets of a new battle ship, in the pres­ ence of the commit tee appointed to take over the ship, were failures. A day or two before everything had gone satis­ factorily. But now the turret, after some slight movements, stuck fast. The gauges indicated tbe norma] pres­ sure; there was nothing wrong with the turret or with the racks for rotat­ ing'it; there was no perceptible leak in any of Jhe pipes, and it was so im­ possible to assign any reason for the behavior of the turret that the com­ mittee had to go home without seeing it revolve. That evening and the fol­ lowing day a complete overhaul was made of the system of piping, and it waa then discovered that one small but important pipe waa completely choked by a “quid" of chewed tobacco, which a workman had doubtless let fall into it inadvertently. When this was re­ moved the turret worked as well as ever, bait the disquietude caused by the want of success of the day before was only increased when, it was discovered how insignifieant tbe cause had been. From that day the naval authorities de­ cided that in future wherever practic­ able the power for battle ship opera­ tions should be carried by a wire in­ stead of a steam pipe. Dreadtal Dltcorery. It was the desert of Sahara, says tbe New York Journal. All day long the torrid sun hnd flashed down his blinding rays upon the yellow sands till they’ seemed to gleam with the terrible heat. As far as the eye could reach there was do sign of vegetation, nothing but sand, sand, sand, till the vision grew weary. In the sky. like specks of blackness, vul­ tures hung suspended, circling around and around while they scanned the plain for some new victim of the heat, for another man or animal* whose de­ caying flesh might satisfy their loath­ some appetites. Ever and anon. too. as one proceeded, could be seen the bones of those who had gone before— bleached white by-the awful heat. And in the midst of the stillness, the desolation and the heat, two wayfarers were wandering on. Their hands were empty, for their provisions were long exhausted and they had long since thrown aside their guns.as useless in­ cumbrances. On and on they trudged, maddened by their terrible hunger and thirst, when suddenly they perceived a mass of rock which rose directly’ in their path. There was a natural opening. Through ft they rushed. “Water!" A horrible cry of loathingand disap­ pointment—a cry with no trace of hope or enre for the future—rang through the rocky garden. Then the two tramps fled. MOONBLINK.

At the east end the beautiful coloring ot a magnificent window divided into eight lancet-shaped lights, adds much to the beauty oi this* part of the Cathedral. The figures and groups iu the three noble lancets are executed with great spirit: and although numerous, are arrang­ ed more especially In the central window, in masses which the eye can readily follow and by occupying so large a portion of the entire surface, leave little room for monot­ onous repetition of foliage or other pat­ terns. In tbe three lower lights illnetratlons of the hlatary of our Lord, m the five upper ones are figures of lhe Apostles. At the top of tbe central window our Lord la represented as sitting in glory, beneath which are depicted four incidents which occured after tbe crucifixion. And now aa we stand gazing upon this beautiful acene, the sun breaks through the clouds and tbe light streaming through the rich windows, the beautiful colors thrown upon the crimson altar-cloths, the tiles pf the floor become of brighter hues. The change and play of colors are very beauti­ ful as tbe rainbow hues dance and quiver, covering effigies of Saints, and figures of Apostles with gorgeous dyes of violet, orange and gold. Dividing tbe choir proper from the Retru-choir is a bright new altar screen or raredos. Which we learned was the girt of Mr. Dun Gardner, of Chalters. (Some of my English friends will remember him) and designed as a Memorial raised to commemorate the vir­ tues of the lady who was bls first wife. And in that gentleman’s own language It is described as a “labour of love carried out for the sacred memory of one who has passed away.” it is long before we feel like turning away from the contem­ plation of this exquisite work of art. That portion of the screen beyond the altar ou both sides is decorated with diaper work of row*. Angels bearing the instruments of the passion are standing an the elegant capitals and mosaic work adorus tbe lower part of each compart­ ment above the aitar. . In the panels are sculptures illustrating the events in lhe life of our Savior. In the centre is the institution of the Sacrament, on lhe left as we stand facing the Teredos, Christ washing lhe dec!pies feet, Christ’s entry Into Jerusalem; on lhe right. Christ’s agony In the garden, aud Christ bearing his cross. The exquisite mouldings, the fine color of tbe portion executed in ala­ baster. where the Pelican is represented feeding her young, the fine work of the gables, with many other features of In­ terest which we cannot point out in detail, all combine to render the reredos most worthy of the visitor’s careful observation. We now pass to the Retro-choir behind the altar screen, and find near the wall the grave of Canon Fardell and his widow who died in the years respectfully of 1854 -and 1801. Here too are the graves of JBlshop Allen, and Dr. Mill, who was Canon of Ely, and Regius, professor in Hebrew iu the University of Cambridge. Be died in 1853. On the south side is the monument of Cardinal-de-Luxemburg, wh<« was Archbishop of Rouen, and Bishop Sf Ely, (1438—1443). This monument was fur many years hidden by a screen, but on the removal of the choir, the screen was taken away and the monument part­ ially restored, the figure remains but the bead is gone. The Cardinal-bishop died at Batfield and bls body buried at Ely. but his heart was conveyed to his cathe­ dral at Rouen. In the south aisle of the choir, filling one bay is the Mortuary chapel uf Bishop West, it Is in the per­ pendicular style. Turning and entering the north aisle of the choir, we pass more monuments of Bishops, and peep in at the chape! of Bishop AIcock: This chapel is also in <he’ perpendicular style, but preaents a heavy appearance in striking con­ trast to that uf the chapel of Bishop West The breadth of the choir and aisle is 77 feet and lhe height of tbe vaulted roof Is 70 feet. But as our time is limited we now leave the choir, and the great transept which Is tLe oldest portion of the Cathedral be­ comes the object of our attentive survey. There is not however much more than tbe ground story of this portion of tbe Nor­ man period of architecture. We now come to the aisles, and spends a few mlnvtes in contemplating tbe btalned glass windows by which they are so richly •domed. The subjects of tire windows are nearly all scriptural. In the south aisle are eleven windows representing such subjects. In both aisles the subjects are arranged In chronological order, be­ ginning at the west end. In tbe south aisle, near the Prior’s doorway, stands a very ancient and enrious relic. On it is an inscription in Roman capitals, except one letter which is Saxon. The inscrip­ tion has been tiauslated. and £8 the name cf Ovin foiuis part of it. It Is supposed that the cross was erected to his memory, M far back as tbe eighth century. Ou our way to the south west transept, we notire the great length of the Cathe­ dral. The whole length of the Interior from ea?t to west is 500 feet. The breadth of the nave and aisles 77 feet. The lan­ tern in 142 feet In height. On reaching the transept we find much to admire In tbe rich mouldings and beautiful forms of the arches. Bere we find a new front and tbe entrance to the small but beautiful chapel of St. Catherine. There are two very fine windows in this chapel, one re­ presenting the baptism of our Lord by John, tbe other, the scene in the new Teatament where Christ rebukes his declples for seeking to prevent little children coming udio him. The beautiful lady chapel, which is situated on the north side of tbe Cathedral near the choir, now be­ comes the object of our attentive survey. It b iu the decorated style and 46 fwt wide. Tbe ceiling was originally a fine blue color ornamented with silver stars. This beautiful celling 60 feet in height, tbe noble windows aud tbe elaborate orna■Mntatkm of lhe interior, must have made, thia exqubiie building when in Ita pristine. condition of glory and loveliness, an ob­ ject of wonder to those who beheld IL Bet rude hands have robbed this graoeful mruciure of much of its ancient grandeur’ -*»d the visitor now sees only the charms wbteh have been spared them. The iMgth of this ebapel Is 100 feet. We new pass out ot thia grand olu, • far exrevdlnK In IU gnuid proportion! «ny other tree in existence. It girths from 25 to 27 feet aud considerably more from whence Its mighty arms spring from the trunk, whilst at 100 feet high they spread out forming a canopy during summer of luxurious growth of broad-leafed foliage that stretches symmetrically downwards, sweeping the lawn with a circumference of 300 feet. This variety was Introouced lulu England in the 10th century aud plant­ ed by Bishop Gunning in 1084. This great tree has passed through many vicissitudes.

Jau. 21.—-Gus Williama, John Johnson and Archie Joiner were lynched early Wednesday morning by a mob in Tangipahoa parish, this stale. Itwusoriginally inlendedlo burn John­ son u nd J oiner ut the slake, but this idea wits abandoned ut the latest moment od the ground that it would injure the reputation of the parish, and the ne­ groes were merely scorched enough io make them confess. Johnson, who was only 20 years old, was charged with being the principal in the murder of the Cotton household some months ago, at which time Mr. and Mrs. John Cotton, Mervin Steveps and Lizzie and Agnes Miller were murdered, and Joiner was accused of being an accomplice in the crime. The murder was so brutal and revolting that it aroused intense popu­ lar excitement throughout Tangipahoa, and it was felt that if the murderers ever fell into the hands of a mob they would be promptly dealt with under lynch law. They were accordingly token to New Orleans as soon as ar­ rested and had been confined in the parish prison here ever since to protect them from ths mob. Tuesday they were taken to Amite City to stand trial. Tuesday night was a rainy aud gloomy one in Amite City. At ten o’clock a party of 200 mounted men, all armed with rifles and un­ masked, very quietly demanded tbe keys to the jail and the release of the prisoners. The deputy in charge re­ fused. but when violence was threat­ ened he quietly went to the different cells, unlocking the doors and turned over ti^e three murderers confined in the prison—Johnson, Joiner and Wil­ liams. Lynchln* of Wllllntu*. Johnson was indifferent when he was seized. .Joiner aud Gus Williams, the wife murderer, were terror-stricken and begged for mercy. As soon .as Wil­ liams was taken out, he was told to prepare for death. He dropped ou his knees and prayed. Then be waa taken to Little Zion church, where he told to be quiet and pray and make a statement. He confessed to the murder of his wife, and asked forgiveness for his crime. He was then placed upon a horse, a rope was tied about his neck and the horse started. He dropped to death. Murderer* Fight Each Other. It took five hours to reach the Cot­ ton farm, and day was almost breaking when the party stopped there. The two negroes were told that they were to be burned, and, the rain having ceased, a large bonfire was built. The men, now wild with terror, accused each other of the crime, and each asked the mob for permission to kill the other. While the mob discussed t|ie question whether to burn the men or not it was determined to let the two murderers fight, und a ring was formed around them. They went at each oth­ er, biting, scratching, tearing each oth­ er in a wild manner for 15 or 20 min­ utes, but neither was much hurt. Tortured Into Confession. They were then separated and placed in different rooms of the Cotton house and efforts made to get confessions from them, but Johnson still stuck to his former story that Joiner bad com­ mitted the murder. A majority of the lynchers determined against burning, but consented that the fire should be used to force a confession from the murderers. They were dragged through the flames, their clothing burned off them, and they were scorched, but not seriously injured. After this torture they boufessed—Johnson to the murder of Cotton and of Mervin Stevens, and Joiner to the murder of the three wom­ en, Mra. Cotton and tbe glrla. Riddled with Bullet*. Joiner begged to be shot instead of hanged,, and it wai first decided to grant bis wish, and to burn Johnson, but nt the lust moment it was urged that they both be hanged, ns Gus Williams ■was, so they were taken a quarter of a mile from the Cotton place and lynched. The mob fired about 300 bullets into their bodies, which were left hanging from tho tree, aud the men dispersed. AN AWFUL Said H<a BREAK.

And Wai Not Unjustly Confined, as Ha Confessed. The evidence the witness had given had been very strongly against the law­ yer’s side of the case, and, lawyer-like, he was trying his best to break the tes­ timony, or throw discredit on the wit­ ness, says the Pittsburgh News. He had tried brow beating, but the man ignored Ida efforts and in an easy, self-con­ tained way stuck to his story. He tried cross-questioning him, but with no bet­ ter success, and he was on the point of giving up when a chance remark caught Ids ear and riveted his courage. “I gather from whflt you just said that you have been in prison. Is that “Yes, sir, I have, been in prison.” Thenttorney’seycs snapped and aeontented smile spread over his features as he drew a sigh of relief. He proceeded to make the most of his triumph, though he felt confident that his case was won. “The jury will notice that-the witness confesses having been in prison. How Jong were you in prison?” “Eighteen months.” “You do not pretend that you were not justly confined?” “No, sjr. Under the circumstances, I presume it was all right.” “Of course the gentlemen of the jury will understand without my calling at"teotion to it how much value to place on the evidence of a man of this kind.

During some maneuvers at Aldershot to gain practice in the vedette system of employing chvalry to watch and re­ port the movements of an enemy, the mounted troops employed on the occar ■ion were extended nt intervals over a wide expanse. The major at one end of the’line, says the Loudon Telegraph, had occasion to send a message to the captain, who was at the opposite end: “The enemy are in force in front” The signal was passed along the line all right till it came to a man stationed •bout midway, who thought fit to add a private message of his own, intended only for the benefit of his neighbor: “Have you a chaw of tobacco?” Unluckily his comrades thought these -words were a-part of the original message, and they were passed from man to man till they reached the cap­ tain. The latter was somewhat aston­ ished at the request, but-sent back thia answer: » “I don’t chew tobacco, but here are two cigars.” The major found the cigars welcome, and as he lighted one sent back the anawer: “Who said you did?” Nervous ;; s' • Peapie often wonder why their nerves are so weak; why they get tired so easily; . why they Etart at every slight but sudden sound; why they do not sleep naturally; why they have frequent headaches, indigestion and nervous Dyspepsia The explanation is simple.

In many London artificial flower and ostrich feather manufactories and bon­ net workrooms what are known as “wedding clubs" are quite an institu­ tion. The - girls become members imme­ diately their- apprenticeship expires. The subscriptions, varying from two pence to one shilling weekly, accord­ ing to wages, go to purchase a trous­ seau for the girl first marrying; sub­ sequent subscriptions are for the next bride. To be eligible an intending bride must have scbscribed 12 months, and continue subscribing for six months after marripge. She must marry as soon after becoming engaged as possi­ ble, and choose her bridesmaids among her fellow-workers. In large factories a club will frequently number 40 or 50 members, and the subscriptions, of two years perhaps, are a good “send off.” A feather “curler” in a big ostrich featheir manufactory employing nu­ merous work-girls, on marrying, some lime ago, received £34. She did the thing grandly, for work-girls, especial­ ly in the feather trade, want? the best, when procurable. Her dress wa^ white satin; orange blossoms and ostrich feathers were in profusion. Her bouquet cost 25 shil­ lings, the cake £2, and she and her bridegroom, a Borpugh market porter, drove to church in ft brougham and a pair, bridesmaids and relatives follow­ ing in cabs and earts. TRAINED CHAMELEONS. What a LJttlo Girl Accomplished Much has been written about the beauty, the stupidity «nd the vidousness of the lizard tri be,aud I want Io say a word about the intelligence of the chameleon, a little reptile belonging to the great lizard family and in size the antipode of the alligator, its big broth­ er, says a correspondent of the Waa^rc ington Star. The incident I now relate came under my personal observation, and demon­ strates that the chameleon is susceptible of* education and can be ranked with animals classed mudh higher in the scale of intellectual development. s Miss Henrietta Keene, a little'lady of 12 years, living in Philadelphia, wad presented with two Florida chameileons, and she at once began instructing and educating her pets. By continued gentleness and kindness she won their confidence, and at her call they would raise their heads, listen and then come running quickly. Soon they responded to their names—Brinton and Baby*— end nodded their little heads know­ Ingly. She then taught them to stand up on their hind legs and put their little fore paws together and stand in the attitude of “prayer, looking solemn and closing their eyes; at a signal they would 'quickly prostrate themselves, roll over on their bucks and pretend to be dead, lying without motion, until told to rise and embrace, which they would do with every sign of joy and pleasure.

Now, however, that some­ thing must.be done to furnish relief to the starving, the viceroy announces that instead of charity the govcrnrtient will give employ men t and push these works. The resu'w. will be not merely a wiser and more .effective relief for the immediate want, but a provision against such disasters in the futurt, says the New York Independent. The roost prominent cause bf famine in Asia is the absence of means of com­ munication, making it impossible to supply the deficiency of on© region from the surplus in another.

A medical paper 'prints statistics showing that in eight of our largest ‘southern cities the proportion of deaths from consumption among the colored race, ns compared with the total mor­ tality, is more than 50 per rent, greater thnr that of the white p-mnlation Dreadful Rheumatism No disease has puzzled the doctors so completely as rheumatism—that de­ plorable condition of the blood which so often renders the strongest man as helpless as a babe. Their mercurial and potash remedies may in some cases impart temporary relief, but are sure to ultimately result in wrecking the entire system. • Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood disease and only a real blood remedy will have any effect whatever upon it. Most of the so-called blood reme­ dies are at best only tonics and can­ not reach an obstinate blood trouble. One of the most frequent symptoms of rheumatism is a tingling sensation of the parts affected, generally broiight about from a lack of free circulation of the blood through the very small blood conductors. This trouble is al­ ways eliminated by the use of 8. S. 8.; it thins the blood, gives it a free and forcible circulation, destroys the pois­ onous microbes and restores the circu­ lation to its normal condition. Mr. Robert H. King, a prominent and influential citizen of West Point, Va., writes of his experience with this dread disease: “About five years ago I was a great sufferer from rheumatism.

I May not the coot of getting married in France act aa a check upon marriage, and so partly account for the shrinkage of French population? The other day a wedding waa thus celebrated by well­ to-do middle-class folks in Burgundy, and may serve as a type. No lese than five sumptuous banquets were given by the bride’s father, namely, two dinners, two breakfasts and one bullroom sup­ per. At one of the dinners, to which ■at down GO guegte, no less than 50 bot­ tles of champagne were drunk, to say nothing of red wines and liqueurs. Strange to say, no one seemed any the worse. The respective processions to Mai re and church on different xlays involved, the hire of 60 carriages, cost also falling upon the young lady’s parents, the entire ceremonial involving on out­ lay of several hundred pounds. Nor was the affair less onerous to invited friends and relatives. The ladies were expected to display a new and fash­ ionable toilet upon each separate occa­ sion—banquets, balls, civil nnd religion* celebrations. To the bridegroom fell ail kinds of expenses, such as fees, gifts to • the churvh and the poor—these, hoVfever, a trifle compared to the mental and bodily wear and tear of three days’ per­ petual merrymaking; last, but not least, the necessity of looking pleased. When Anglp-mania has altered all this, and a Frenchman’s wedding day means two or three hours’ cereniopial only, we may expect the marriage rate to go steadily up. Oliver Chilled 5 I crease In PopulationT “Handsome is that handsome does,” whether in one form of life or another, observes the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. “It ain’t nouse try in’ to get a 'coon at all unless you’ve got a ’oo<v> dog," says a Maine woodsman. “You can tfike a high-toned dog of some fancy breed, an’ bring him up as careful as you please, nn »the chances are that he won’t be no more use for huntin' ’coon tha’n he would if you set him agin’ wild ele­ phants.

It’s a curious thing, too, that ti 'coon dog ain't good for nothin* else.

Well, that applies to other knacks besides that for the successful pursuit of ’coons. 1 MARRIAGE IN FRANCE. The other day, as I was clinging to the strap of a Lexington avenue car. says a writer in the Christian Advocate, two ladies sav near me, and as one opened her portemonnaie to pay her fare a scrap of paper pasted to the leather was disclosed. “Is that your shopping list?” asked the other. “It doesn’t 16ok like a long one.” “No,” was the reply, “it is not the list, but it is what keeps the list from be­ ing a iofig one,” and she read: “He v^ho buys w hat he does not need will soon need what he cannot buy.” •What a capital guardian of your capital! You must let me copy that for my leaky purse. Who wrote it?” “I don’t know, but I wish I did, for he has saved many a dollar from lightly rolling from my bonds since I put it here.” I was intensely interested in the con­ versation, for at that very moment there lay in my notebook a scrap which I would’ have brought forth but for the fact that my own corner was reached. I publish it, for if the truth which it contains were assimilated many a pock­ etbook would remain a pocketbook: “We are ruined, not by what we real­ ly want, but by what we think we do; therefore, never go abroad in search of your wants. ’ If they be real wants they will come home in search ot you; for he that buys what he does not want trill soon want what be cannot buy.—Col­ ton.” No. ft.

It exceeds tne other industries in the amount o( capi­ tal invested and value of annual output, while the interests of the great agricultur­ al population are deeply concerned In IL and. as the country doesn't consume over three-fourths of it* food products, the bal­ ance will have to be marketed abroad. Mr. Davis advocates in behalf of his as­ sociation, a reciprocity law which would not involve a loss of revenue or engender the importations of commodities which will compete with our own manufactures and which would make our free list available only to nations which will nekotlate for similiar concession in oar behalf.

I President-elect McKinley is showing re­ mi rkable judgment in tbe selection of a cabinet. For Secretary\of State he has chosen Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, whose long service in national affairs, bls thorough acquaintance with all detells af­ fecting the interests of this country, and above all bis sterling integrity and fear­ lessness makes him the foremost man of this country to day, and the best qualified for this position. Lyman J. Gage, of Chicago, next to Senator Sherman, is probably as able a financier as there Is In the country. He is a product of the great west and for years has been president of the greatest banking house in Chicago. Major McKinley showed rare good judgment in selecting him for this position for in doing so he went out­ side of strict party lines and selected tbe best man he could find. Michigan will be honored in the new cabinet and Gen. Aiger, of Detroit, will be the next Secretary of War. His selection has been very pleasing to military men all over the country and In his new position Gen. Alger will perform his duties with honor and credit to himself as well ss to the great state from which be hails. In addition to these John D. Long, of Massachusetts, has probably been selected Secretary of tbe Navy; James B. Wilson.of Iowa. Secretary of Agriculture and Joseph McKenna, of California, Secretary of lhe Interior. The Postmaster General has not yet been selected. Dr. Bell, of Newton, Mass., states that the total electric power developed from electric motors in use In this country Is 1,350,000 horse power. Considering that only a few years ago any kind of electrical power was unknown this wonderful In­ crease is phenomenal. Hon. A- G. Wheeler, of Manistee, form­ erly state senator and a prominent candi­ date for governor last year. Is one of tbe men who appreciates, the funny things in last week and say s that the “best show on earth" is the populist legislature of Colo­ rado. On the floor of the legislature In Denver, be says, the passage of a bill is just cause for a series of osculatory per­ formances In the part of the favored mem­ bers. There Is a Mexican representative whose vocabulary is limited to Spanish, and beside him sits his interpreter. Con­ trary to all natural expectation, the Mexi­ can gentleman manages to be beard, and is by no means a wall flower in the legisla­ tive halls. Senator Teller was voted back and tbe result of the ballot was tbe sign for a regular hugging and kissing act, which would send the blaah of shame to the faces of the bald-beaded row in any regular second-class vaudeville show.

By , protecting our Iron Intereats they have attained wonderful growth and to-day probably can successfully com­ pete with foreign rivals. Tbe sugar grow­ ers ask for this same protection. With­ out such protection the sugar interests of this country cannot be developed. The growers say that if proper protection be given them for a term of from 10 to 14 yeais they will then be In a position to meet foreign competition and will welcome tbe return of sugar to the free list. But in the face of fierce foreign competition from tbe lands where pauper labor prevails It Is an uneven fight aud the odds are greatly in favor of the foreigner who can. and does control our markets.

There was one subject In the paper read before tbe Current Topic Club by S. GreuMl, and which the Bakner has advocated, that we wish to especially commend the members of the city government in the future, and that was In regard to the abso­ lute necessity of building “good roads.” In his paper Mr. Greusel advoeated tbe plan of levying SI.00 on each 81000 assessed valuation to create a fund to build suitable roads into the city, all tbe money so raised to be used in hiring shov­ ellers. The fund so created would amount to over 81000 a year and would be raised in such a way that no one would feel it It would enable us to build eight to ten miles of good roads each year, and If car­ ried on for fire years would make it a pleasure, Instead of a holy horror to drive to this city. Under this plan every dollar raised would be paid back to laborers In this city, and every dollar would probably be spent in Hastings. The “Good Roads Association” hap tried to arouse interest in the construction of good roads and has succeeded, but thus far tbe burden has all fallen on a few men who have contributed to a fund raised for good roads purposes. The business men and -every property owner ought to give this good roads ques­ tion serious consideration. Business only will make a live town and Hastings never will, and never can increase her trade from the country until we build decent roads for people to com© here on. Why not let tbe people vote at tbe spring elec­ tion as to whether they would favor any such a plan. A separate ballot box could be devised for that purpose. Certainly the roads will never grow any better by sitting Idly by and watching our trade go to other places where enterprising people have built good roads. ” Tbe question as to who is the chairman of the “succotash” organization of Barry County, known In political circles as the ‘•Democratlc-Peoples-Unlon-Sllver Party” is Just now a very much mooted question, and it remains to be seen whether the “dog wags tbe tail or lhe tall wags tbe dog.” In other words Is John Dennis chairman of the entire fusion aggregation, or do Messrs F. L. Heath, IL M. Bates and John Dawson perform the duties of chair­ men of the democratic, silver and populist county committees respectively? From reading the calls issued last week one would be_ left gravely In doubt, and evi­ dence goes to show that there is a scrap on in the fusion camp. In the Herald last week a call was issued for a county con­ vention, tbe call being signed by “F. L. Heath, chairman of tbe democratic county committee; IL M. Bates, chairman of tbe silver committee and John Dawson, chair­ man of the populist committee.” Iu the Journal a call for a county convention was printed and signed by “John H. Dennis, chairman of the Democratic-Peoples-Un­ ion,County Committee. Both conventions were called for the same day and the same hour, but neither call states where the convention will be held, further than that It will be held iu the city of Hastings. That 20 round boxing contest, advertised for the 16tb, promises to be tame com­ pared with the scrap that will come off in tbe fusion arena to decide the momentous question as- tq who is to be the Grand Higbunkadunk of the succotash party. Will John emulate Sampson and slaughter his Philistines with the jaw of a democrat­ ic donkey? If so he has immediate need of some reliable hair restorer. Or will bis unpardonable presumption in placing him­ self at the head of these various parties cause him to be hung like Haman on gal­ lows which he erected. (Additionallocal on pages.)

The south picture gallery contains many small but beautiful paintings of flowers, insects, and reptiles. Here also Is a model of the Taj of Agra, called palace tomb, at Agra. A small card near it contains this inscription: “Moom Tage Mahal, the beloved wife of the Emperor, Noor Jehan, while in the agonies of death was assured by the deeply affected and disconsolate Emperor in the passionate anguish of his heart, that as she surpassed In loveliness and virtue all women In her life, *0 after death she should have a monument uneqalled in the world, eredted to her memory.” The Emperor faithfully performed his promise, and this Is the model. The Taj Is constructed prin­ cipally of white and black marble Inlaid with precious stones. It would take many columns to fully describe the paintings, many of which are of great merit. But our notice of them will be very brief: In the south dome room Is a very fine paint­ ing by RembranL It is a portrait of a Dutch officer. In this room too is a painting of game, fruit and flowers, by weenlx, which Is magnificent, and remarkable for accurate drawing and beautiful coloring. , We will now leave the museum and go along the Huntington road about a mile and a half until we reach the Girton col­ lege, which has been erected for the higher education of women.

The 8weetest>purest, most enduring memories which go with us all through the varied scenes of life are those of the early days of childhood, when a mother’s voice poured far sweeter music Into our ears than we since have heard, and when clasp­ ed to our mother’s breast, we felt the throbbing of her heart that mother’s heart which far beyond all others In the world feels for her children unselfish, undying love.

Lord Fairfax in an tmertean citixen, and yet be poeseKM^ a acet in tbe English house of lords; * regularly summoned to the opening ot parliament, and receives notices of importaat debates just like any other ]»eer. It is ths only ease in existence of a cltisen of one country possessing a right to help make tbe laws for another bution. This state of things was ' brought about in a curious way. Lord Fairfax, who receives the name from his friend-, by courtesy, although an on American ctitsen be has do right to hold & title from another nation, is descended from the original settlers of the-Fair­ fax estate in Virginia, tlie third Boron Fairfax, who emigrated to thi» country early in tbe seventeenth cen­ tury. When the American revolution broke out the then Lord Fairfax, the grandfather of tbe present peer, lived sometimes in England and sometimes in America, often using bfs right to wit in the house of lords. Thro ugh<Ait the struggle for independence he sympa­ thised with the revolutionists, but for­ bore any active part in the rebellion, be­ coming, however, when the Unitetk States obtained its enfranchisement, un American citizen. But an Engilah peer cod lose hia title only for an act of treason. Lord Fair­ fax bad not committed nny such oct. and consequently could not be de­ prived of hia right to the barony. Once a peer always a peer. An English com­ moner foreswearing allegiance to tho crown cannot vote or legislate in Great Britain before be has become renatural­ ized. but it is one of tbe ancient priv­ ileges of the peers, dating from tbe time of Magna Charts, that they and their descendant must retain their titles au-1 rights in perpetuity except in the cam: of treasonable conspiracy or active war ugainst the crown. [ Some centuries later this law was mod­ ified in the case of persons becoming Roman Catholics. Conversion to Home, as in the ease of the earl of Leicester, about eight years sgo, lost them their titles.. But even this law was repealed on lite passing of the CadholieemancifNition act, and al present only treason can deprive a peer of his. title. This I* bow it happens that an American citi­ zen bolds a British peerage. *’ The Chuuler wedding was ope of the most remarkable society events of re< eut years. Only tbe oldest families of New York w ere invited. Even the wealth­ jest members of the society of to-day were denied invitations. The old Astor manor house nt Barrytown-on-th(--Hud­ son was the scene of a reunion of the best society of 40 years ago, such as hrs hot been known for many years. Only one guest of all lhe 200 invited was not descended from the earliest and most distinguished settlers of America. Thia one exception wu Mr. St. Gaudenh, the sculptor, whose fa­ ther wan a Fourth avenue tradesman, lie fFas the only one there to represent the aristocracy of talent.

Bench to only waa ou trial for Of the skill of matadores one can­ not aay too much in praise. The hero on this occasion wus Eapartero. The two others, quite as skillful perhaps, were Guerrha and Bambita. All three were the foremost men in their pro­ fession. Their nerve und their skill were as perfect as their dress, their bearing and their grace. Guerrita was xnther my favorite. He is a slender, well-made, perfectly proportioned man of 35 or 40, agile as a deer, and with a deliberate grace erf movement that seems to redeem the bloody work he docs from some of its horrors. His features are regular, his expression thoughtful, his face clean shaven like a priest’s. One scarcely knows whether to admire him most when vaultingover a bull in mid-career, or planting to a hair’s-breadth the hidden knife in the furious creature's spine, or standing, with his gorra de torera in his hand, calmly bowing to the vociferous and excited multitude crowding to look down on him. One of the dramatic moments at a bullfight is when the mutadore ‘•pledges’’ the bull to the chief person present On the first day of the fair the personage was Comtesse de Paris, and to her Espartero “pledged" the three bulls which dome to his share to slaughter. He killed them all, a merveilie, with one stab, and there was great acclaim. It was said the comtesse would undoubtedly send him ‘•something very handsome.” I hope she did, and that his family have It now to console themselves with, for In less than five weeks from that day he was Instantly killed in the Madrid ring. People had assured me the whole thing was reduced to such a science that there was literally no danger; that the cour­ age of the matedores was a laughable fiction; that a man was fan about as much danger from a bullae a telegraph operator is from the electric current he works with.

The toader mind of youth to reluctant, or unable to rtand atone; it needs to be one of a claaa. Hence the hours that ought to be spent iu tbe acquisition of that general knowledge which la •© useful in after life, aud which can be acquired oirfy in youth, are thrown away in the moat inglorious pursuits, for acquaintsnees are seldom the companions of study ur the auxiliaries of business. Emotions that are not followed up by their appropriate action have a tend' ency to decrease and perish. Thus soft­ hearted tendency and ready sympathy, if allowed to expend ^themselves with­ out producing any practical effort to . lieve suffering or to give happiness, grow feebler and feebler until they de­ generate into a puerile self-pity which make even cruelty and injustice possi­ ble. Manners have been cynically de­ fined .as a thing by which wise men keep fools at a distance. Fashion is shrewd to detect those who do not be­ long to her train; and seldom waste* her attentions. Society is very swift in ita instinct*, and if you do not be­ long to it, resists and sneera at you, or quietly drops you. Accordingly, the conditions aud surroundings of life are largely what we make them. This is the case, first of all, through our direct influence. We are raised or lowered by our aasoclatioixB. Men are generally alike in their lower natures: it to in the higher character that they differ. Manners, temper, intellect and morals are all directly Influenced by our sur­ roundings, and those who choose for themselves friends of an inferior caste —whether of mind or manners, of mor­ als or of conduct—fall to the level of their choice. As a general thing We reap that which we have sown. But where it is not so, where circumstances over which we have no control come in. the form of trials or joya, even these are greatly modified by the spirit in which they are received. Who has not seen poverty or bereavement borne so heroically and cheerfully that the af­ flicted one seemed rather an object of envy than of compassion ? On the other hand, who has not seen one with every outward advantage that earth has to bestow rendering himself and others miserable by fretful complaints of troubles too petty to deserve a moment’s notice? There are millions of human beings who, but for suffering, would never have developed an atom of affec­ tion. There are powers to be borne, creations to be perfected, through the ministry of pain, which could be borne and perfected iu no other way. Our sorrows, which appear to us noth­ ing but a yawning chasm or hideous precipice, may turn out to be but the joining or cement vtthich binds together tbe fragments of our existence into a solid whole. The dark and crooked path, iu which we have to grope our way in doubt and fear, may be but the curve which, in full daylight of a bright­ er world, will appear to be the necessary finish of some choice ornaments, the inevitable span to some bright project. The finer the nature the more flaws will It show through the clearness of it. The best things the most seldom seen in tjieir best form; same as a tender­ hearted aud compassionate disposition which inclines men to pity and feel the misfortunes of others, and which is even for its own sake incapable of inclosing any man in misery, is of all tempers of mind the moat amiable one, and though, it never receives much honor, to worthy of the highest. One thing we should always remember, that our greatest glory is not in never fall­ ing, but in rising every time we do fall. —Stillwater Prison Mirror. DANGEROUS FUNNEL TRICK. Vataxax CluS Man Triad Ik Twioa Bafava Galt lag Enough. The funnel trick Is an ingenious prac­ tical joke recently introduced in the London clubs. An old gentleman,whom we will coll Jeremiah Brown, was vic­ timized by"it recently. He sauntered up to the club the other day and saw two or three of the younger members attempting a new feat and be watched them with interest. One of them stuck a funnel in the top of his trousers, threw his head back, placed a shilling on his forehead and tried to drop it in the fun­ nel by slowly raising his head. After all had failed Jerry insisted on trying it, though all tried to persuade him from attempting a feat too difficult for them. The funnel was placed in the waistband of hia trousers and he threw back hto head to receive the coin on his expansive brow. At that juncture a jug of water wsa emptied into the fun­ nel, and by the time Jerry had finished dancing tho jokers had vanished. Jerry’s temper Improved with dry raimeot, aud tho next night at the club he started in to show a couple of friends tho funnel trick. Again Jerry was forced to his traUuUd offlev, I* no** eollrgegmd“ . __ » *------ - -—10 far McKinley MiUred Alle<b«ay <-«■<«■ ■» Mt^vUta, Pk. •< T* there mlcSnled taw » Uewk leUer &»■ Undty.

A large majority of our presidents have been college-bred men.

A still greater scholastic dis­ tinction waa conferred, on Dr. Wash­ ington, in 1788, when he waa elected chancellor of the Co liege of William and Mary, hw quasi alma matter, an office which be held with pride until ths day of his death. Washington’* five immediate weceseors were college graduates. John Adams and his aon, Job* Quiney Adams, were Harvard men. Jefferson and Monroe were graduates of William and Mary, while Madison hailed from Princeton. Jackson had little educa­ tion of any sort, and Van Buren, hta successor, only a good academic educa • tion.

The scare that New Orleans has lately been treated to by the discovery that “a crevasse” or break in the bank of the Mississippi in Pass a Ixiutre. threatenning the stability of the jetties, has caused a general investigation of the lower river, and has brought out the fact that there are half a dozen breaks in it; but the engineers are unable to say whether they ore natural streams or artificial, for in the soft soil of Loui­ siana a ditch can soon grow into a river. The name given to one of the new outlets of the Mississippi. Baptiste Collet's canal, would indicate its human origin, but the engineers can discover nothing of its story, for tradition bos Jost record of it. Whatever it was originally, it to now a river, or part of a river. It is well known that Bayou Plaquemine, formerly a large navigable stream, and the means of communica­ tion between New Orleans and southwest Louisiana, was origin­ ally a plantation ditch, which the flow of water from tbe Mississippi increased in time to a bayou, and finally into a river.

After a short recess, the que&tiou “Resolved that women should have the same privileges as men in all the active walks of life” was discussed. All of disputants chosen having expressed their preference for the affirmative side of the question (w‘ith the exception of one man, who failed to appear on the nega­ tive side In the debate)-would give us reason to believe that women in Prairie­ ville were glveu as much work as they chose. If this sentiment Is as strong else­ where, do not understand why women are not given a voice in all things in which they are interested. The ladies ou the affirmative ably defended themselves and some on the negative seemed to forget which side they were on. However the sympathy of human hearts for the weak was vividly demonstrated In the decision rendered by the judges.

Seats at usual call, only 318 votes being polled out of over 800 voters. This did not show a proper interest In the question and every voter who bad not good cause for neglecting to vote should consider himself estopped from whining at tbe results. Tbe Council as a body have been sin­ cere and have tried at all times to be pru­ dent. While the contract was being made for tbe building they were using money raised for the different funds In their proper channels, giving tbe unemployed labor and bettering the usefulness and beauty of our streets and roads. Tbe season for such work was nearly over; we were In tbe midst of tbe closest money market this country has experienced for over forty years, and after having the power to issue tbe city’s bonds the Connell were not able to do so without entailing upon tbe city an annual interest far beyond that voted. In anticipation of tbe commencement of work In due time the site was excavated and the dirt used to great advantage uponour streets, but, being unable to sell the bonds tbe work could not be continued. Tbe delay was causing damage to adjacent property because ot insufficient lateral support. Something must be done imme­ diately. What would you have done? Probably just what the Council did—avoid injuring neighboring property by erecting a foundation wall. If this part of the work bad been carried out by a careful prudent man. all the cen"ffiire now heaped upon the Council would not* ** have “been Jmade, but *" it was not. al­ though they supposed, at the time, that it was In the bands of one, who by reason of bis over twenty years cxperlehce as a builder, would be sufficiently careful to do such work tn a proper manner. The city was to do the excavating for the foundation wall and especial notice was given by tbe architect of the danger and care necessary to be taken to preserve the wall of A. Black & Sou’s building In­ tact. It is well known to all how tbe work wm done and what'were the results. The city has had to pay for ibis mUcake some­ where In lhe neighborhood cd 81,000. In accepting the plans ami specifications ot an architect, the eight men who were attempting to place themselves oh record as doing a wonderful thing, studied the pic­ ture and plau of"tbe new building far more than they did the specifications. They have all learned a lesson and B la to Ua hoped others will profit thereby. NQt Wi* ot them, now tbat It has been K. wbose outside walls with W ** -ut e,*hl ,ocheb U,,clr and raccd common 86.00 per thousand brick. one of.them would have accepted plans for such a building, having a slate roof, without having ice breakers thereon. Yet all of these things were done -by these same eight men tbat were about to super­ intend tbe erection of a beautiful mam-* moth building at the wonderfully low price of $5,800. All of these things have cost extra money but far less than wild rumor saith. The original contract for the outside foundation Wil! was $5t0. Tbe other basement wails and cross walls were extras and cost pro rata. The original contract fur lhe buildiiig above the basement was $5,800. To this the following extra have been added: Ex­ tra four Inches of wall all around building, one story high with pilvsters uudcr every truss, 8391.85.

A most amusing scene was witnessed one Sunday afternoon in Moore street, Dublin, where a number of gamins were playing football with a large blad­ der under their own special rules. One of the teems, presumably being disap­ pointed in the turn out of a “mam,” filled the vacancy by substituting in his stead a handsome collie dog. The dog played his game with extraordi­ nary intelligence, stopping the ball with his head when it. was going against his team, and upon every occasion on which he got possession of it he ran with it in his mouth, and despite, all opposition of his opponents carried it triumphantly through the goal. The game lasted about 25 minutes'in the presence of a large gathering, and end­ ed with much excitement in the. dog’s tram winping by ten goals to nothing. •tis there was no gate to receive money, and as tbe teams depended on the gen­ erosity of their patrons, the latter vol­ untarily subscribed liberally.

Mollcrc Was Considered an Outcast-*Re­ fused Spiritual Consolation. The time was iu Franco when the actor had no social pubition and certainly no spiritual onr. Special dispensation Was necessary when tho Catholic church allowed a mass to be said for the repose of an actor’s soul. Prof. War­ ren, describing the Moliere period, writes: • "The social position of an actor in Molierei’s time was a low one. Not from any prejudice against the stage, evidently, since the dramatists like Corneille and Scarron were on the same footing attheHotel de Rambouillet and other salons of Paris as poets and es­ sayists and were elected to tho French Academy as readily. Indeed, it would seem as though the composition of plays was the shortest road to distinc­ tion in the Paris of Moliere, ns it is to­ day. "But with the actors it was anotlier question. Their wandering, unset­ tled inodes of life had evidently told against them. They were not admit­ ted to society whether their conduct was good or bad. They were 4101 even consideretl in the light of literary per­ sons. Molierc met his friends, Boileau, La Fontaine, Furetlcre nt public cafes. As a writer of comcily he was either not taken seriously or had. incurred too much-hostility on the part of influential sets, the clergy through ’Tartuffe. the salons through T/ta Femmes Suvantes.’ As an actor he waa considered an out­ cast with his class.,and when on his deathbed he uslx-d for spiritual ccn-. gelation h:s apjwul fell on de^X ears un­ til it watt too late.

We believe that our present democratic tariff policy U justly chargeable with most of the financial troubles through which onr nation has passed for Several years, and Is still passing. ’Die effect of lhe policy has been to make producers of our laborers.In­ stead of consuitera; being unemployed, they have been driven to produce, as far as they were able, as many of the neces­ saries of lite as possible. They must five, and being out of employment they have no money to b\iy. The mills and manufac­ tories can’t run and compete with the cheapened prices of goods imported and nfanufactored with cheap foreign labor. Tbe large amount of foreign goods that have come and are still coming Into this .country, should Keep our treasury full from duties ou imports, and would do so If we had specific, instead of ad valorem duties on these goods. The percentage paid uuder our present ad valorem system on the invoices of goods, which by an un­ demanding between buyer and seller are reduced often to one-half the price actual­ ly paid, is robbing this government of mil­ lions of dollars, and will continue to rob It. just as long as lhe present tariff system shall remain. Every day we hear men cursing Cleve­ land; good, short-haired democrats and wild-eyed populists, all swearing that they never voted (or him and expect Io get to Heaven ou their political record. We can hardly hfame them for thelropposition to an administration that is piling up the nation­ al debt hundreds of millions Iff a time of profound peace: but we will say right here that the administration of Grover Cleveland is just what democratic policy compel!* it to be; it is a policy that will run the government In debt, no matter • who administers it. It is a policy of na­ tional deficits, and neither Wlllliam Mc­ Kinley or any other man, could, or can make anything else of it If it is to be Oxi tinned, hard times, deficits and nation­ al debt, an- assure to follow as darkness follows the day. ' Tbe iticonsisteat part of this matter is, that while men are ready to belch out tbeir anathemas against Grover and hh administration, they will still stand by a “tariff for revenue only,” whleh compelled Buchanan to hire money to pay the run•ning expenses of. F*.e government in hix day, and will com pel I every president to do the same thing under the same tariff laws. After the Buchanan administration the republicans took the reins of govern­ ment under Lincoln, and Instead ot a tar­ iff for revenue only”, he gave the people a ^protective tariff" aud from 1801 to 1892 (Cleveland's second election) we bad a _protectiv^ tariff, which enabled us to pay trar war debt of over three billions of do!* lira, down tu less than one billion. No bonding tbe nation to pay running ex penses under republican rule; we weren’t brought up that way under Father Abrabam. INCREASE OF REVENUE. Repabllcaa ■••■urea Will Swell Onr Income. One. of the methods by which the re­ publicans will increase the rercixie is shown by the news that the ways and mt tins committee bus put cotton ties on the dutiable schedules of -the tariff bill which is in course, of preparation. In the Wilson law they are on the free Hat Several other important articles, includ­ ing wool, were made free by thc present law, and on al! of these a duty doubt­ less will be placed by tbe republicans. It will be remembered that the present lew doe* not go quite so far in the direc­ tion of free trade as the hpusc of repre­ sentatives 'which put it in its original shape designed it to go. Tbe senate amended it in 634 places, generally in the directiop of greater protection, and the house was forced to accept the amendments. It retaBafed, however, by passing the “popgun" bills putting sugar, cool, barbed wire-and iron ore on the free list, but none-cf these meas­ ures passed the senate. Tn the oct of 1890 the republicans n:hde a large addition to the free list by taking the duty off raw sugar and largely reducing it nn the refined prod­ uct. The conditions, however, were radically different then from those which prevail today. A surplus both­ ered the country at that. time, while a deficit confronts it now. The very title of the law of 1800. which was called an net to “reduce the revenue and equalize the duties on imports." proclaimed the existenre of a situation such ns has not been present in the past four years. When the law of seven years ago wns framed the purpose was to diminish the revenues, and in making'a cut on sugar this purpose could Im? served and the people benefited, for sugar yielded over $50,000,000 of revenue n year, and every family in the country w as forced to as­ sist in paying it. By placing a cluty on articles like wool and cotton ties, which are at present ad­ mitted free, a ready and certain source of revenue is provided. ’An increase in duties already existing will, of course, be made on many articles, but this calls for very delicate discrimination, for heavy advances would defeat tbeir pur­ pose by cutting down imports to an ex­ tent which would more than neutralize the increase in rates. Here is wlierc the framing of a tariff deaigned to pro­ vide both additional revenue and addi­ tional protection calls for great skill. Undoubtedly, however, the republicans will meet the requirements satisfac­ torily. The provisior.s of the forth­ coming bill which have been published thus far show that the ways and men ns committee thoroughly understands the difficulties which are presented, and is intelligently determined to overcome them.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Tariff That Hrlnz* Revenue. The new tariff bill is well advanced and will lie ready for the extra session of congress. .It. is quite cheering to be t«Id that many of the schedules rees­ tablish the McKinley rates. Thc Cleve­ land “tariff for revenue only” was con­ trary to thc teachings of a long line of American statesmen, and its re­ sults show that it is a theory opposed to both maxims anti markets. It is a tariff for deficit only. The people who found, a republican surplus trans­ formed into a democratic vacuum, with forced bond sales at high interest- to jmrehase gold to be practically used for current expenditures, elected Maj. Mc­ Kinley presklent. Maj. McKinley’s greatest fame was attained as the au­ thor of the McKinley tariff bill. So the election meant a protective tariff on the McKinley lines—a tariff for both protection and revenue. The ®ew bill gives, the farming interests needed pro­ tection from the Canadian inroads. Tlie farmers with both eyes open voted for McKinley, and verily they will have their reward. Hay, barley, hops, vege­ tables and poultry all go back to the McKinley rates. There seems to be a definite intention to show the farmers that there are advantages in living in the United States of America.—Trov (N. Y.) Times. FROM WASHINGTON. THE WILSON TARIFF LAW. The Closing Session of the Fifty* Fourth Congress. v If anybody doubted the wisdom of President-elect McKinley in deciding that a special session of the new con* gresa should be held as soon ns prazticable after his inauguration that doubt has disappeared upon the exam­ ination of the treasury department fig­ ures just made public, showing.the as­ tonishing failure of thc present tariff law to accomplish what was promised for it by ita framers. If there was anything which tbe dem­ ocrats who enacted it delighted most es­ pecially in repealing, it was the phrase: “Our tariff law will do what your Mc­ Kinley law could not do; it will produce sufficient revenue to m6et running ex­ penses.” If there is anything that those same gentlemen now do not like to hear it is a reference to those pledges and boasts, for thr statements were mode boastfully. Their revenue law be­ gun, by producing a. monthly deficit of from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. but they apologized for it month by month and promised that it would <Jo better aftei it had adjusted itself to business condi­ tions and business conditions had ad­ justed themselves to it. But the 29 months' of adjustment have failed to bring about the result which they prom­ ised, and at tbe close of these weary months shows a deficit practically us large as when \thc experiment of the democratic tariff began. The following figures shtov the total receipts and expenditures of the gov-, ernment during the first 29 months of the Wilson tariff law, as compared with those of the first 29 months of the MrKinley tariff law: McKinley law. receipts first 29 months....................................

A tariff law which con produce a def­ icit of $126,000,000 iu 29 months is not likely to jwuis from the memory of the average student ol national affairs. This will be especially true, however, if he comparts the workings of the democratic tariff law during its exist­ ence with those of the McKinley law during a corresponding period of its existence. Fortunately for those who desire to makQ comparisons, the two laws went'into effect at about tbe same time of year, and it is thus entirely ap­ propriate to compare their workings during n given number of months. The McKinley law went into effect Octol>er 1, in thc year 1 SOO. and the W,ilson law went into effect August 28, in the year 1894, the period of thc year in which each took effect differing but by practically one month. The compari­ son. therefore, is a fair one. It shows, however, that the Wilson law has been a more disastrous failure even than thc average student of affairs of thc kind had supposed, and at the same time i puts at rest the charges mode over and over again by the democrats that thc McKinley, law was a failure in the mat­ ter of revenue production. The first 29 montlis of tbe Wilson law produced .. deficit of over c-<'^nnrinnn l.il.. the ri S72b,000,000, ..while corresponding 29 months of tbe McKin­ ley law produced a. surplus of $23,026.J.88. In other words, the McKinley law did just what it was intended it should do, by producing-aufficient- revenue to meet the running expenses of the gov­ ernment, with enough margin of sur­ plus to make its operations safe, while the Wilson law, although it produced enormous importations of foreign goods, has fallen behind ot thr average rate of nearly $5,000,000 per month. If the estimate be correct which fig­ ures out nn increase of $60,000,000 of revenue from tbe forthcoming tariff bill, on the basis of present importa­ POLITICAL DRIFT. tions. that act will undoubtedly end the deficit.

Chief Simon Poteagon, of the Potta­ watomie tribe of Indians in southwestern Michigan, is engaged in writing a bonk in which he proposes to defend his race from the alleged attacks made against them In the popular histories. The gastors of llie leading Protestant churches of Muskegon have eutered into a covenant ekch with the other that hence­ forth they will not respond to calls for Sunday funerals unless II be at the speci­ fic demand of the undertaker dr the health officer. It was published in Battle Creek papers that a Mr. Gasoline had been elected as one of the free silver followers from that neck o’ the woods, to attend tbe convention at Grand Rapids. Now Mr. Gasoline is a staunch republican and he nearly exploded until the error was cor­ rected. The sales of furniture at Ionia prison for last month ! were about three times greater than for the December previous. The new scheme inaugurated under Warden Fuller’s administration—as far as possible—of. manufacturing novelties that do not come into competition with the products of outside fa-stories. Is working admirably, and with much larger profits to tbe state. These novelties require a large amount of labor and a small amount of material. The new policy has resulted in a savin?. In two years of 847.000, over two years of the previous administration, beside’supplying an increase of but a trifle less than fifty percent, in the num­ ber of inmates. The manufacture of a still more profitable line of goods is con­ templated, aud even better results are ex­ pected for the coming two years/ ** sudden death.

Barnes, of Ce/lone, Barry Co., In response to a letter of Inquiry sent to Cleveland, with the in­ tention of having thejemaius brought to Michigan for interment, has received a feeling letter from Rev.^Levi Gilbert, pas­ tor of the first M. E. church ot that city, setting forth that Miss Yourex attended his church and generally participated in the prayer meetings of the Epworth League. She3seemed to be troubled much with melancholia and her friends were never able to learn anything of her family, so that when she became violently insane about two years ago she was committed to the asylum at Newburg. Upon her death Miss Ellen Reveley. Supervisor of Educa­ tion in the Cleveland Public Schools.and a member of the First M. E church, know­ ing of her former occupation as school teacher, interested herself in the proper burial of the deceased, and a sufficient sum was raised among tbe teachers to purchase a lot in tbe Erie street cemetery and provide for a proper burial. Tbe fun­ eral services were conducted at the church by Rev. Gilbert, Jan. 3. and were attended not only by the friends but by the teach­ ers and members ot the Board of Educa­ tion. The kindly letter of Rev. Gilbert has done much to soften the grief of tbe relatives who were terribly shocked at learning of the sad death. Stands at the Head. Aug. J.

SPREES AT A CHURCH FESTIVAL. Hastings Banner Thursday, March 4. 1897. p remarkable entertaining- A young woman has confided to a writer in the New York Timea a some­ what extraordinary account of the raaibner in v. h:cb a .vealthy and well-known New Yorker trruv those who »jx* in­ vited to tbe hnuae parties-at bis suburb­ an home. She was iuiornjrd by a uo’e from her hostess thatn carriage would call for her nnd her ’.utrgage at a ciyrtaln hour io take her to the ferry, where Mr. X------ wdtjltl meet nnd take charge of her. At the ferry she found the en­ tire boupe party, .including matrons with tbelr husbands, young men and maidenx, assembled to be looked after by Mr. X------. The vale! checked their luggage, nnd in each instance a round­ trip ticket was returned with the checks. ✓Aj the house, in each rooui the writing-desk' was supplied not only with an tpnpie stock of letter-paper, engraved with the estate name, but also with a box filled with pontage stamps of various denominations, including special-delivery ones. A long-distance telephone, ' connecting with, among other places, the station telegraph of­ fice. made it possible to talk or wire all over the cquntry nnd quite impossible to pay for the service. On the little guest card in each room, which gave thr hours of meals and the schedule of malls and trains, was a little notice: “Visitor* are kindly requested .not to fee the servants.” Finally, to cap theclimax, on Sunday morning a maid brought- to thr young woman’s door, on a tray which was loaded with sim­ ilar missives, a small envelope wbicli she proffered with the simple message: “For the church box." It contained money for iHe offertory platear.d one of these envelopes was "left with encl* Pleasing Mnsieale. iMi» Id.: FitzSimuions. nnd the younger anend*eni of her cla<* to msli uun-ntai mus­ ic gave a uiusleale st tie plea^nt home of Dr. aud Mrs. G.

I It is n custom of the country in Ger- ] many to get drunk at tlie consecration of a new church. This custom hu*. been regirded a* unlovely ami un­ christian by mrny infiurntlal Germans of the new schoq1, moot notably by Em­ peror WilHam IL, but «till it remain* tinreformed, nnd the comic weeklies do not tire of drpicting'the scenes, in uufi out of th? police court, that follow th*consecration sprees and fights. Some three week$ ago the festival of a new church was celebrated in ObrrringrlIiviin, in the Rhine country. In antici­ pation of the usual trade in exhilarat­ ing .liquors n raloonkeeper who does business near the sacred edifice adver­ tized thus in the Rhineland Observer: “Jacob Muller herewith pledge* him­ self for a Kubsicription price of three marks (75 cental) to serve every one of his guests wHft as much wine ns he can drink on^thc occasion of the church consecration. “Inviting niy friends nnd |>atrons to visit me in response to this request, I remain, respectfully .vourx. “Jacob Muller.” Within an hour after the newspaper.-, containing this advert tsemenl ap­ peared, 30 aitizroa uf little Obcrrtagelhviin bought subscription tickets from Muller. At the current price of ordinarv lease wine in the Rhine country, each of th? 39 ard their colleagues in this speculation had tn drink 1G large glaoBfuls liefore he could begin to bene­ fit by the .subscription tariff. The final n-siilts of the speculation cannot bo kno\vn until the police court report* of the Oberringelheiut district arrive with the newspupvrs from the eontinent. ' tablm and Smlada.

William McKinley, of Ohio, Takes the Oath of Office. Brief Description of the Certmonli LtecL Washington, March 4.—Tbe nation greets its new ruler, President William McKinley. The nation blds godspeed to tta past ruler. Private Citizen Grover Cleveland, who for •he second time bas retired from Its service as Its chief executive and has again entered upon a private career. At noon to-day William McKinley, of Ohio, took the oath of office as president ot the United States for the term of four years which la to come to an end March 4. 19QL A few minutes before Mr. McKinley as­ sumed tho duties of his high offipe Garret A. Hobart, ot New Jersey, in the presence of the senate and house, took tbe oath of office as vice president of tho United States, becoming by virtue thereof ex-officio pre­ siding officer of the senate. This function took place quietly in the senate chamber. The spectacular features attending the Inauguration were, if anything, more im­ posing than any which have been wit­ nessed at former like ceremonies. Theinaugural parade waa composed of between 40,000 and W.UOO men taken from tbe ranks PRESIDENT M’KINLEY. of the military, naval and civic organisa­ tions. Fully 20,000 people were massed In frunt ot the senate wing of tbe capltol and witnessed the administration of the oath to President McKinley and Listened to his masterly Inaugural address. At night the gorgeous Inaugural ball was given in the pension building, the Immense promenade and dancing floor being packed with participants. At night also occurred the grand pyrotechnical display and Il­ lumination of the e|ty. . ’ The Decorations. Most effective were the decorations Inwhich the city had clothed itself In honor of the occasion. Public bulldlsgs, business blocks and private residences were gayly and attractively attired with the national colors entwined In almost every conceiva­ ble shape, wfiile thousands of flags floated from every desirable point. The review­ ing stand in front of the white house, from which President McKinley and his wife, .Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and a host of distinguished personages witnessed the proceesiun, was' a handsome pavilion—an architectural creation in white and gold. During the forenoon, escorted by the senate committee. President-elect McKin­ ley drove from his temporary quarters at tbe Ebbltt house to the executive mansion to pay hla respects to the retiring presi­ dent. He was received and welcomed by PreBldent Cleveland and his cabinet in oos of the handsome state apartments. Then tbe two distinguished rfften descended the white house steps and together entered a four-horse carriage. Mr. Cleveland sitting to the right, and, amid the booming of can­ non. the clatter of cavalry, the deep, hoarse rumble of artillery, the measured tread of many columns of infantry and tbe blare of innumerable band*, the march to the capital began, in another four-horse car­ riage following the president rode Vice President-elect Hobart taa the senators MmoBB.

Suitably to provide against this is the mandate of duty: the certain and easy remedy for most of our financial difficulties. A dehctency la in­ evitable so long as the expenditures of the government exceed its receipts. It can only be met by loans, or an Increased revfinOT. .While a large annual surplus, of revenue may • invtte waste and extrava­ gance, inadequate revenue creates distrust and undermines public and private credit. Neither should be encouraged. Between more loans and moro revenue there ought to ba but one opinion. We should Dave more revenue, and that without delay, hindrance or postponement. A surplus in the treasury created by loans, is not a Surmaneut or safe reliance. It will sufce while it lasts, but It cannot last long while the outlays of the government are greater man its receipts, as has been the case during tbe past two years. Nor must it oe tor gotten however much such loans may temporarily relieve the situation the government Is still indebted for toe amount of the surplus thus accruea, which it must ultlma?eiy pay. while its ability to pay la not strengtnened but weakened by a con‘‘jHTadvlJiw ’a "pay as you go" policy for the government and recommends the enactmeni of revenue legislation at the sullMt possible date that will permit of tola nniicv He says of this: P "The people have declared that such legis­ lation should be had as will give ample pro­ tection and encouragement to the Indus­ tries and the development of our country." to the revision oT be tariff he recomrnends that special attention be given to the reenactment and extension of tho MlMlpl..

Dun & Co- In itheir weekly review of trade, sayl "The slow and gradual Improvement observed for some time has continued dur­ ing the past week, and without material check. There is a better demand for most products on the whole, with continuance of speculative buying in some, notably In wool, because of expected duties. Mean­ while money market* continue as easy and undisturbed a* If there had never been anx­ iety about the gold reserve, and fairly large sale* of stocks on London account during tbe week possibly because of international anxieties have made no perceptible differ­ ence in American market*. •'Failures for the week have been 246 in the Untied States, against 285 last year, and C8 tn Canada, against S3 last year." Bradstreet's says: "The new administration, the certainty of an extra session of congress within a fortnight and the promise of a new tariff at an early day, which shall provide ade­ quate- revenue and protection, have done more to simulate a better feeling In trade circles and Increase confidence in the near approach of an Improvement In business. Favorable feature* are found In higher price* for wheat. Indian corn, pork, lard and spirits of turpentine, a* well as for steel billets. Steel mills are fairly-well tilled with orders, and In some llnes,are In­ clined to advance prices. Recent low quo­ tations for various forms of iron and steel have been withdrawn, notably for> wire and structural material. Confidence is ex­ pressed in an early advance of prides for tin and for shoes and leather, based on tbe activity in hides. Quotations were firm and unchanged during tbe week for lumber, wool, prtntcloths. resin, petroleum, coffee, steel rails and Bessemer pig Iron, but there 1 ivo been decreases for wheat, flour, oats, sugar and cotton." Attorney General** Salary. The legislature of this state, with the greatest unanimity,? and without party division, have determined to amend tbe constitution of Michigan, by giving the at­ torney general a salary for tbe great and important services that he renders the state. The question now Is, will the voters ratify and approve of that which their representatives have done? propoJtlon that is submitted to them te this: To compel tbe lawyer who teeora attorney general to lake up his residence during bls term of office, at tbe seat of government and give all ot his time and strength to tbe duties of his office, and as compensation for such services the state agrees to pay him the sum of $3,500, which is just one-half of that which each member of the supreme court receives, $2,500 less than Is paid each ot the six judges of Wayne county, and $1,500 less than the prosecuting attorney of Wayne county and the corporation counsel of De­ troit receive, respectively for the ir services yearly. Or, If this Is not done, then the voters must decide to let tbe matter go on as it bas been for the last forty years—the attorney general receiving no compensa­ tion to speak of, redding at home and at­ tending, for tbe most part, to bls own bus­ iness, and making the great Interests of tbe state subordinate thereto, or compell­ ing him, without compensation, to give up his entire private praetted* through the conscientious purpose to discharge well tbe duties of his high office. On the issue therefore, there ought not to be a dissent­ ing vote. More and more Is It absolutely necessary that tbe Interests of the people should be protected. Constant encroach­ ments, undoubtedly, have been made upon their rights, by those who, finding tbe field unprotected, have entered in aud tak­ en possession thereof. It is time, as Gov. Rich, in one ot his messages to the legislature, said: “By paying the attorney general the Insignifi­ cant sum 8800 per year (the same that is paid janitors and messengers), the state Is losing enough each year to pay a reason­ able salary to four attorney generals, through the lack of paying a fair compen­ sation to one.’' How long will tbe voters of Michigan “save at the spigot and waste at the bunghole?"—State_Republican, Lanring. __________________ We hope to see proper immigration re­ striction laws passed by the Incoming ad­ ministration.

Tbe question now is, as to whether tbe voters of this state cau see what is for their Interests and vote accordingly. The U. S. Senator W oloott, of Colorado, has returned from Europe where he has been lb the interests of bringing about interna­ tional bimetallism,, and says that it Is en­ tirely feasible. It Is reported that Secretary Carlisle will settle down to the practice ot law as the attorney for the Pullman Car Co., of Chicago, at a salary of $25,000 per annum. We Have in a New £ Stock’of Heavy Harness 3 3 3 I Harrows SPRING TOOTH and SPIKE TOOTH BOTH IN LEVER and FLOAT, and WITH WOOD OR STEEL FRAMES Cold, Hard Facts Farmers are beginning to realize that close buy­ ing is the forerunner of success, yet there are many of them paying twice or three times too much for their farm machinery and hardware. A dollar or dollars saved occasionally on a bill of goods is not a bad thing for the people to look into and investigate before making a purchase. Some may not think there is such a difference in the price of an article as deal­ ers in a radius of a few miles will ask, but we invite you to investigate, and take into consideration a few reasons why we can offer you better goods at lower prices than our neighbors. We probably do more business than any hardware firm arouqd—this you know — and in so doing it allows us to turn over more money in a given length of time than the other dealers, and for this reason we are able to shave our margins to a nicety, a thing our competitors cannot do, as they have not the business to warrant it. Another thing, on account of our quick disposi­ tion of goods bought, we are enabled to buy in much larger quantities than our competitors, thus gaining for us another point of vantage, and knocking off more from the price of our goods to tbe benefit of our customers. There should be reasons enough for your visiting us and looking over our goods before making your spring purchases of farm implements, etc., etc. ■Ion to lh« capital wall th* po>eo ot on. miowo tauao. flubdlvMM -Into UrMoJ r fltrUtwU ban Th. tor.HU l~uc> or ih.

Tbe republican party argued that any overthrow of our tariff laws, and the enactment of such free trade k-glglatlon as. the democratic party advocated, would bring about bard times, business paralysis, uncertainty, which are always accompani­ ed with a panic. Despite tbe fact that Grover Cleveland was elected in prosper­ ous times, bis election was no more than assured before uncertainty seized upon every branch of industry. Merchants dared not buy, because there was no telling what leghlition would follow; factories getting no orders could not run and consequently shut down. Stocks of goods were thrown on the markets to be knocked down at any price, begetting ruinous competion and ths uphravel of business of every description. Just such experiences ss this bas always followed free trade success In this country,, and It always will as long as American labor is so much better paid than foreign. By one of Che shrewdest; political moves ever made by any pasty, our branch of tbe democratic party siezed upon tbe excited condition existing among all classes of people, and by playing upon the prejudice and pFBsion of tbe people sought of charge the existing state of affairs to a coinage law pissed nearly a quarter of a century ago, which added fuel to tbe flames in tbe in­ dustrial world. But tbe people would not be hoodwinked again and they gave ex­ pression to their desire to return to our former tariff laws by giving Wm. Mc­ Kinley the champion of protection, an ununprecedenled majority. Congress will be convened In special session next Monday and It is hoped that a good protective tariff law may be enacted, and when that Is accomplished let Congress adjourn; and give tbe country a chance to rest. The sound money democrats of Michi­ gan, in their state convention in Grand Rapids Wednesday, nominated Dan P. Foote of Saginaw, for Justice of the Su­ preme court and Levi L. Barbour, of De­ troit, and Edwin F. Sweet, of Grand Rap­ ids, for regents of tbe University of Mich­ igan. An associated press dispatch from Athens, dated March 4tb, says that Greece will defy the powers and will not with­ draw, her troops from Crete.

Club Lecture Course last year was- "Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde,” by Dr. Nourse, and so popular did the lecturer become with his audience that the program com­ mittee wisely availed themselves ot the opportunity of securing him for'this t>year tn his lecture on “John and Jonathan.” The lecture deals with relations between England and America, Jonathan beiug tbe son of John. John represents England In tbe lecture, and is described as being very intelligent, strong minded, vigorous, and of stout build. Jonathan is described as a young man. tail, quite slender, strong, muscular, very, active in mind and body, and with a will of his own. John is proud of his son and still be Is jealous of his growing power. Jonathan has great respect for his parent but having reached tbe age of manhood has outgrown parental authority, aud has manifested tbe ability to take care of himself. Dr. Nourse Is an Englishman by birth, but a loyal, true, American citizen by adoption and is therefore especially well qualified to discuss .the.merits and defects of the two countries. He began his lec­ ture after many complimentary remarks about Hastings and the fact that the ladies all removed their bats, by saying that tbe people of England were grossly ignorant of the size of America. He gave many incidents of this fact that came under his personal observation, and commented on tbe fact that a late edition of tbe Brittanica announced Chicago as being a state, and a foremost English newspaper an­ nounced "Mr. Cleveland Ohio” as being President of the United States. He said that while these incidents were amusing to Americans yet there was the same dense ignorance on our part concerning England. Dr. Nourse then went on to tell of some ot tbe things that we are indebted to Eng­ land for, among them being fin* our relig­ ion; our literature and our markets Eng­ land being tbe best customer that America has. He then gave his version of one of the causes of bard times. He said that though England and America were rivals in commerce and that though we cher­ ished natural feelings of hatred toward them engendered by two wars and Eng­ lands action iu the late war, yet England was proud of America, and down deep in our hearts we admired England and we couldn’t help it. He said that up to a few years ago England was buying every­ thing she could of us, but the very year we commenced to export dynamite to that country, from that very time our trade * with her commenced to decline, The speaker said in substance, that we can’t export flour to nourish a people and dynawite to kill them, and expect to hold either their good will or their trade. Ln polities, Dr. Nourse said that he was surprised to think that there was no at­ tempt, to get tbe English vote. Politicians and office seekers do everything in their power to capture tbe Irish vote, the Ger­ man vote, the Polock and all others, while nothing is done to attempt to influence tbe English Americans in this country, who number, all told, 5,000,000 souls. He said that while It was natural for Eng­ lishmen who came here to love their na­ tive land, their people and customs, yet when they come to this country and take the oath ot alleglence, as all foreigners should do, they become American citizens in all that the term Implies. He said that there was one thing that America. might well borrow from England and that was "Woman’s Suffrage.” He said that the idea of allowing Ignorant foreigners to vote and depriving tbe. intelligent women of America of that same, right was wrong. England also owes much to America. She has taught tbe world that tbe people can govern themselves; by her industry and enterprise she has advanced as no other nation ever did; by her generous policy she has developed her resources, cultivated tne genius of her people, and her Inventions have more than apace with her wonderful advancement z So England owes much to America and America to England, they are inter-de­ pendent and being the English-speaking countries ot Che globe should work in har­ mony and cultivate peace and friendship.

Populism And the Money Question. It Ils an interesting phenomenon, from a polltjcal stand point, to note tbe metamor- pbouis of tbe populist mind upon the money question. During tbe last cam­ paign the silver question overshadowed all others.; but an appeal to tbe sober sense of the American people demon­ strated to the populistic aggregation that that issue did not afford a sure means of securing office. It Is not surprising there* fore to see them maneuvering for a new Issue with which to endeavor to temporar­ ily befog a sufficient number of voters to ride into office. The author of "The Bond and the Dol­ lar” whose brain, so far out of balance as to see in the marshalling of night, armies and the rise and fall of nations nothing but the operation of the money power in­ triguing for sale of bonds represents one of tbe extremes for cheap money delu­ sion; yet there were many in the days just preceding the last presidential election whose emotions quite overbalanced their judgment and whose avowed position up­ on tbe money question was very similar to that of tbe once talented historian. Circumstances have changed. These hirelings of the silver syndicate now disa­ vow their position aud cry aloud for the preservation of the greenbacks. Here and there a post mortem examination is being held over the prostrate corpse of "Free Silver 16 to 1” but for tbe most part tbe keen scented populists are endeavoring again to forge the greenback question to tbe front. Before election free sliver was directly responsible for all the prosperity and na­ tional greatness enjoyed or achieved dur­ ing more than seventy years of national life. 'Then free Silver saved the union, now the greenbacks saved tbe union. Then free sliver had always been the poor mans money, now the greenback has al­ ways been the poor man’s money. Then free silver had been co-existent with the progressive civilization, now it is the greenback which has been in use whenever the intellect of man has been in an upward trend. Then party motives. population, and social institutions had something to do with tbe admission ot states into the union, now it is the green­ back wbictx has brought men to civiliza­ tion ’and organized them into self govern­ ing states. Then there was no money in circulation duriug the war, now there was uearly sixty dollars per capita during all that period. Before election there was less money in circulation than at any time since the war, now we have had since 1893, not le& than thirty dollars per capi­ ta. Then everything had decayed be­ neath Hie disastrous blight of "the crime of ’7$,” now everything boomed nntii 1876. Then "Coin” was the authority of finan­ cial subjects, now Recardo is tbe apostle of liberty. Shades of Britain! Already this populistic aggregation is embracing the doctrines enunciated by English econ­ omists. In tbe language of an eminent authority -upon the money question: **8o long as die adnilsslon is allowed that tbe fiovenuaent cau create mooey there Is no satis isetory answer to be made to the questions: “Why should we have a gold standard?” “Why should we have national banks?” “Why should we have a limit put to the volume of our cur­ rency?” "H the government can create money, why should it not create all that evenbody want*? “Why should anybody work for a UvAdmlt that tbe government can create money, that it cau by Its expressed fiat say what shall and what shall not be money.

In tbe past Attorney Generals have only given what time they could to state affairs when it did not conflict with their private business, making It compulsory to hire outside attorneys to an amount far greater than a good Attorney General’s salary would be.

In tbe near future stu­ dents look for England to adopt a protec­ tive tariff, and Germany to adopt the policy of free trade. Going to Build a FENCE!

THE FIGHTING EDITORS. A TOUGH MUSHROOM. I remember calling at the office of n great Parisian newspaper with a friend who wished to have rectified a state­ ment published in it concerning him. says a writer in the Cornliill Magazine. When our business was made known we were ushered into a handsomely fur­ nished room on ti»e first floor. Seated at desks, without a trace of pens, ink or pa per. or of anything in’ a literary way except some new novels, together with a few packages ol cigarettes, were two gentlemen, whose appearance made a considerable impression on me. They were faultlessly dressed in deep black (the duelist’s color). Each had tbe ribbon of tbe legion in his button­ hole. their long, jet-black mustaches were waxed out to a point as fine as a needle’s and there was in tbejr whole manner, llieir voices, their gestures and the expression of their eyes and mouths an indescribable something that pro­ claims the man who at one time or an­ other has worn a uniform. These were the fighting editors, with whom evi­ UCUUJ iuc peu uuiu wiu dently the pen IO is not Hiiguwci mightier than the awonl. They were civil, however, and consented to the rectification of the paragraph*.' As fighting was their trade, they looked nt it :n a purely business way and only went out when the de­ mands mode were too unreasonable to be entertained. I fancy that thej'.sometimes fought in defense of articles they had never even seen. While traveling in Switzerland the elder Dumas one day arrived in a lonely village with only one inn, at which the famous novelist was compelled to put up for the night, says the Boston Trav­ eler. When tbe landlord, who only spoke German, came to inquire what he would take feir supper, Dumas tried, but in vain, to make him understand that he wanted some mushrooms, and was on the point of giving up with a bad grace .nil hope of enjoying his favorite dish, when l*e hit upon the idea of taking & piece of charcoal and tracing on the wall what purported to be the correct outline of a mushroom. The landlord went out, and Dumas was congratulating himself on the suc­ cess of his happy expedient, when a few moments afterward he heard the Swiss coming up the stairs. The mushrooms could hardly have been prepared in so short a time, but this thought did not occur to our great novelist. The footsteps came nearer, there was a knock, and1 in walked the landlord— with an umbrella! WASHINGTON HOTELS Washington at inauguration time houses 100,000 visitors. When it is re­ membered, remarks the Illustrated American, that the town has only about 230,000 inhabitants, of which 80,000 are negroes, it will be seen that visitors during the inauguration week arc packed like herrings in a barrel. It re­ peats every four years the experiences of cities many times its size that secure national conventions—and then wish they hadn’t. The hotel accommoda­ tions of Washington are very large for a town of its size, and the business is extremely profitable, hotel failures be­ ing rare. Once every four years a boom period maj' be counted upon .which lasts not only during the inauguration week, but for several weeks thereafter. This puts even the shaky hotels on their legs for that year. Hotel -quarters are en­ gaged long in advance of March 4, but •ure, by some sort of occultism, to get. 1 : Triumph of tbe Wheel. The final triumph of the wheel will come when it has divorced the Arab from his sleed of poetry and romance —his “stallion shod with fire.” The Paris papers print news from the French Souduo to the effect that the bicycle is making its way there, and that it has impressed the natives more than any other article imported into that, country from Europe. The Mo­ hammedan member of the French chamber of deputies was interviewed about the matter and said that the Koran had nothing to say against the wheel, as the prophet had not foreseen its invention; but he did not think the Arabs would ever dream of for­ saking their fine horses for iL A Paris lady, strictly guarding her anonymity, learning that there were young men belonging to the Ecole des Beaux Arts, distinguished for their pro­ ficiency, but who were without means, haa hod a house furnished in one of the most picturesque parts of France, where, without cost, a certain.number of artists XDoy spend their sutJiuers and study.

Hastings Banner Thursday, March 25. 1897- COOK BROS. Props. A STRANGE CASE. A remarkable freak of nature is occaaionally seen on the streets of Cioughr Mac-Nal,* Ireland, in the shape of a woman who was born black in Jamaica about 45 years ago. The woman, ac­ cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer, ruiys that she remained with the char­ acteristic negro color to her skin until she was 22 years of age. when she began rapidly turning white, .the complete transformation being made in less than three months. . She remained white for about a year, aud then turned black again, but more slowly than the white transformation had come upon her. When this second change in skin, color took place she was sure that she had returned |p her orig­ inal color, and would remairi^tjiat hue during the balance of her life, but it was only a few short months until she was again as white as an Albino. Since that time the changes have yearly taken place, the woman being black one summer and white the next. She suffers no pain whatever. Bottled Up!

I took & poker and stirred it up. “ That flakes it burn faster,’ com­ mented the landlord, gravely. “ ‘That’s just what I want,’ I re­ plied. “A red-faced, hearty Englishman broke in: ‘You Amerlcan« are deucedly thin-bkx>ded, don’t you know ?’ “Then an Italy you shiver about all winter j»nd in Germany those big, high crockery «tove* never seem to thaw you out, So when I arrived in America in midwinter I had a jolly, big fire in the room at my hotel and I piled on the coal, knowing that it would not break my bank, in spite of the prices of the big, abominable coal trust. But after one has paid sixpence a scuttle for a mighty little scuttle of coal he does hot feel disposed to criticise the trust.

Until the discovery of S. S. S., it was incurable. It has always baf­ fled the doctors, and it is in this dis­ ease that the evils of mercury and potash arc most common, because these drugs are given in such large doses in an effort to counteract the poison. While they succeed in bottling up the poison in the system, it always breaks forth again, attacking some ' ’delicate organ, frequently the mouth I and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure for this terrible disease. • It is the same in other diseases of the blood.

Wales, Germany and the Scandinavian coun­ tries. The contrary, however, is shown by recent figures to be the case. The slates into which immigrants go by preference are those on the Atlantic seaboard. Of 343 000 immigrants who landed in thia country during the lost fiscal year covered by the treasury re­ port, 127,000 meant, to remain in New York state. Some eiJXK) others had Pennsylvania for their deetinatidn and 36,000 Massachusetts; so that these three states absorbed about two-thirds of the whole immigration to the United States. walk ol life.

There was a cynical fellow in the middle ages who, under the sarcastic title, "The Fifteen Joys of Marriage,” wrote aa elaborate description of 15 woes, which were likely, one and all, to distress tbe foolish man who had slipped like a fish into the great net of matrimony, says Lippincott’s. It is not probable, however, that his lit­ tle treatise turned a single man from the error of his way. How should, it have, when the great xvetgbt and au­ thority of Mr. Punch have not. been able in these days to make any ap­ preciable difference in the issue of mar­ riage licenses? Yet the genial philos­ opher’s hdvice, which is an everlast­ ing shame to Mrs. Judy, was perfectly decided. The truth is, men will not take advice which they ^lo not want, They 'know no matter who offers it. “ that all the world loves them when they^-are lovers, and so the vain creaorwoolng.

Whether it be Jockey who dons his Sunday coat to propitiate his goddess of the bay­ field, or the fine gentleman who swears at his vniet for a speck of dust when dressing for a certaan important inter­ view, he- is worthy of notice; and even the frog, wheu he will a-wooing go, becomes a hero fit- for poetry. The uneasy period of courtship tries the souls of men and shows what stuff they are made of, and therefore the manners of men of the fifteenth nto century when wnen marrying or or trying trying tto marry indicate marrying verv fairly the retirement of sociey at that time* THIRTY-TWO CHILDREN.

What purifies the Hood? the grizzly eats peanuts. CouiEicntM On the Bear’s Apparent Fondue** for Them. A man who nt cod in front of the bear pit at the menagerie in Central park was greatly interested in observing Jpf-t how the big grizzly bear took tbe pea­ nuts that one of the visitor* was hand­ ing to him, says the New York Sun. The bear stood up at an angle of about 43 degrees, hind feet on the floor of the pit, one fore foot resting on the stone ledge in which the bars of the cage are imbedded, the other extended through tbe bars t(/take the peanuts. He did not clutch them under his claws and then turn the claws inward upon the ball of his foot* but when be reached out through the bare he spread his claws apart sideways, as one might spread the fingers of his hand apart. Tbe visitors would place a peanut be­ tween twq, of the claws, and then the bear would close the claws together, as one wou(d close the fingers of his out­ stretched hand. He would hold the pea­ nut between two claws in tbe same man­ ner that a man sometimes holds a cigar between two fingers. Holding ft thus the bear would carry Ube peanut to his mouth; then •thrustinghis paw out be­ tween tbe bars again he would open his claw out sideways as before, waiting for another. “I suppose it roust be an acquired taste,” said a solcmn-foced bystamder, referring to the bear’s apparent fond­ ness for peanuts. “1 don’t know.” said another man. "I’m not so sure but what there are some places where grizzlies live that peanuts grow.” “That may Im?,” wild the solerr D-faced mon. “but I’m sure there’s no place where they grow baked.” - THE KIDMEYS PURIFY the BLOOD AND THEY* ALONE. If diseased, however, they cannot, and the Hood continually becomes more impure. Every drop of Hood puts the kidneys in perfect health, and nature does the rest. The heavy, dragged out feeling, the bilious attacks* nervous unrest, fickle appetite, all caused by poisoned Hood, will disappear when the kidneys properly perform their There is no doubt about this. Thousands have so testified. Tbe theory is right, the cure is right and health follows as a natural sequence, e Be self-convinced through per­ sonal proof. A HAUNTED TREE. IN CONGRESS.

After a sufficient time hod elapsed for her complete restoration to health the maid was asked by post if she did not feel able to resume her duties.

England endeavored to go one better with the Wembley, whieh >s still in an embryo stage and appears likely to re­ main ho. while our American cousins struck a bright aud novel idea in the Ferris revolving wheel, whidh was aft'erward introduced into England, and last season went merrily round, except when it occasionally stopped and re­ quired more or less coaxing ere it re­ sumed its “daily round.** As a fact, our readers will remember it once bad “a Bightout** on its own account. Now French ingenuity is once ngain to the ' fore, and this time tbe idea is to con­ struct a lofty building that will spin slowly, like a majestic top. The festive Parisians are. it is stated, to have this novelty in their midst, the site chosen being near the summit of Montmartre, tbe highest point within the fortifieaof the gay city. Tbe conception at this big revolving tower (about half the height of the Eiffel) is credited to M. Devic.

It contains some very lucid slatemenu of money and of tbe power of governments to fix value: First.—Two aejiarate and distinct ral* •ucs are assigned to money, one bring tbe intrinsic or market value of the ar­ ticle used; tbe other tbe legal or fave value.

'I his ik thedeepest part of /he ocean m» farts men ko°" of: it is almost as deep as the topmost {teak of the Himalayas m high. Throughout its hundreds of miles ot width and breadth there arc submarine volcanoes. The srtomlc philcnophers think that through some volcanic up­ heaval in these depths earthquake vi­ brations were transmitted along the ocean bottom to tbe shore, and a sudden rise of the water’s level sent tbe tidal wave on its errand of destruction. '1 be earthquake shocks, which travel at a rate of speed varying from two to twen­ ty miles a second, reached the shore first. They were mild for quaky Ja­ pan, and it was not until 8:30-o*clock in the evening, an hour and a half later, tliat the slower-moving waves of water were announced by portentous boom­ ing sounds. Only four-mi lea away from the coast fishermen were unaware of the presence of any extraordinary wave. But when tiro on-moving volume erf water reached the steep sides of the sra bottom and mounted up to the shal­ low places, tbe wave grew to a-height of 20 to 50 feet and hurled itself into the inlets and bays of the hapless laud, overwhelming, with contemptuous ease, the feeble dikra which the Japanese fishermen and r ice-phint era bad built to defend their low-lying homes. _ . ‘^100 PLAINS OF LA MANCHA. ticleS'OT ’tttMnmodities for money is to adopt two kinds or grades of them, one having greater market value according to its wedghL for use in the larger ex­ changes in trade; the\pther having less­ er value, for the smaller exchanges. This practice furnishes the first essen­ tial condition for a system of bimetal­ lism. Third.—Only that money is buaic end , widely and permanently used which is made of precious metals,’very generally , gold and silver. Other and perishable ’ commodities are finally abandoned or held redeemable in these metals. , Fourth. —Tbe market tourm.-ioe m.r.r. value of u, thesej metals, i>ot their tuee rallie, constitute, the original and continuous quality by rea«>n of which they arc almost min ereally accepted as basic or primary muney.

That the bill re­ erived the loyal end, unwavering sup­ port ot every republican in the house Alter a nine days’ oonaideretion of the important measure show, the ability of the popular branch to correctly dleoere the nwutung of the verdlctof November 3 and it« disposition to quickly respond to the popular will. That tho bill also received the votes of five southern democrats is signifi­ cant of the change of southern senti­ ment on this question, and isagratifvmg augury of the good time coming when the protective policy will meet with popular acceptance among the new leaders of the new south as thc only policy that can develop the vast re­ sources of th^t section of the union. It is true that the tariff question was not the paramoirut issue in the recent campaign, but it. must, be borne in mind that it was put to the front in the con­ vention at St. Louis and formed the sub­ ject of the first plank in the national platform. This plank contained these words: "Wfi demand such an equitable tariff on foreign./v. Imports which vumr come inio Into rompet:compet!- . . » n.Ub. A 1 ... . ... . The passage of tbe tariff bill in the house puts that measure through the first stage of its career, under promiaing conditions. It has secured an early start, and if the senate shows an idea of the importance of speed hi dealing with the bill it may reach the president long before the close of the fiscal year on June 36. Even the enemies of the bill ought to realize tire necessity of putting it on the statute book without un­ reasonable delay. They are aware, or should lie. that they cannot defeat it. Although the republic^uis have not a clear majority in the senate, enough votes of former republicans and of democrats are virtually promised for the bill to secure its passage. As everybody knows, the business uncer­ tainty cannot end and the industrial revival begin until the tariff changes are made, and therefore a policy of wanton obstruction would be sure to ■arouse the popular wrath against the bill's enemies. Nolxidy* suppose's the measure will have its present shape in all respects \vhen it gets through the senate. That body 'is always apt to assert its inde­ pendence aud its powers in the matter of tariff legislation.

Tho physician is now* almost con­ vinced that there was a clash between the two ferments in the blood, and that the virus of the vaccine vanquished the toxine of the diphtheria. He watched thc cases very closely, and he felt so certain of the correctness of his conclusion that in the notice of the cafes which he sent to the health offi­ cer he announced that the diphtheria had been lightened by vaccination. The patients are now strong and well at a time when such sufferers are usually weak from the effects of the disease. In discussing tbe matter Dr. Woolsey a&id: ' “The thought suggested by the re­ cent cases of mine is the antagonism of one disease for another, like erysipelas to cancer, which is an entirely new Idea as applied to diphtheria. Wheth­ er or not it will prove of any practical value is a question upon which I feel gather doubtful, but it is, neverthe­ less, of great interest scientifically, and ■throws new light on such subjects. It may incidentally be a point of van■tage for experiments in other direc­ tions.” SUNBURN IN FREEZING WEATHER Ln this climate it is not common to find sunburn sufferers while the tberjnometer is away down near the freez­ ing point, but there is an interesting portion of Lieut. Commander De Long’s story of. the voyage of tbe Jeanette .which shows how plausible this expla­ nation is. After the Jeanette was crushed in the Arctic ice and aban­ doned in 1881, and De Long and his companions took to the ice in June of that year, they found themselves suf­ fering day and night from heat, al­ though the temperature of the air waa never above freezing. With the ther­ mometer at 20 to 25 degrees, tbe men [worked in their shirt aleeves and were fcovered with perspiration. On June 35 De Long wrote in his diary:—. “Blistering hot since midnight, alithoGgh tho thermometer marked only 183 degrees in the sun. Our hands jend faces arc all swollen and blistered.” On tbe next day. with the thermome­ ter at 30 degrees, he tells how curious it foecmcd to see the men seeking places in the sftu.de in which to enjoy an after­ dinner smoke und rest, and so day aft­ er day his references to the unpleaaamt beat continue. The party aven found it oppressive in their tents at Slight, although the tents were pitched on the ice, and the thermometer showed ■hilling enough figures. ABSURD ERRORS. Shakespeare's anaahronia<ns certain­ ly give him the palm for the greatest Eiber of mistakes. Some of them are strikingly absurd, as, for instance, allusion to Cato in Coriolanus, aupposed to have been made two centuries ■afore Cato was born, and the allusion fo* striking clock in Julius Caesar centaries before such a thing existed. ®>e«e may, however, be put down to carelessness and the chaotic state of chronology in Shakespeare's time, and none of them are either as absurd or •a indefensible as the error of which Coleridge was guilty when be marred kb immortal “Ancient Mariner” with the lines: “Th« horned moon with one bright star Within the nether tip.” For such an astronomical monstrosas this to have been visible, either them from deeth. tad tbeir o.ner. •« A NLW EXPERIENCE.

A type of the atonement was found in the sup­ posed fact that the pelican tears open its breast and feeds its young with its own blood. New value was given to the pelican by that great thinker SL Au­ gustine. Writing upon the passage in the 102d.Psalm—“I ajn become like a pelican in the wilderness”—he says: “The males of these birds are wont to kill their young by blows of their beaks and then to bewail their death for thc space of three day*.

Harben is galloping grace­ fully in the magazines now, says the Atlanta Constitution. In early youth Harben was fortunate enough to have a dozen stories accepted by a certain “leading magazine.” He gave the writer of this note a glimpse of the checks for these stories, while he ex­ claimed, enthusiastically: “I feel like I could jump over six chairs!** That was ten years ago. and his literary la­ bors since then have sprinkled the gray plentifully- over Horben's black locks, but, alas! not one of tbcee stories has ever appeared in print! Letter after letter to the editor who purchased them brought only the response: “We are crowded?' Finally—as Harben had put bis best work in the stories, and was naturally anxious to have them add to bis reputation—he addressed thia note to the editor: “Will my stories ever appear?” The associated editor answered: “There is a conspiracy here to hold them until you are dead, as they would naturally have greater interest then. How is your health?” Harben tore thc note to tatters and got married. LIGHT WAS KEPT BURNING. Plucky Boy Who Was Alone in the Tower This is one of the wildest and bleakest of light stations of that savage region, and, according to a story told there, it was once the scene of a remarkably plncky adherence to duty on the part of a 15-year-old boy. says Scribner’s.* He was the son of the keeper, and on this occasion was left alone in the tower while bis father went ashore for pro­ visions in their only boat. Before the latter could return a violent storm arose, and for the next three weeks there was no time in which the keeper’s boat could have lived for a moment In the wild seas that raged about the lonely rock. Still the light was kept burning by tbat 15-year-old boy, who had but little to eat and but scant time i to sleep. Night after night, for three weeks, its steady gleam shone through ; the Mackneas of the pitfleas storm and gladdened the father’s straining eyes. When the ordeal was ended the boy was so weak from exhaustion as to be bare­ ly abltf to speak.

Two persons are known to have been lost on the Floyd, three have been report­ ed drowned on tbe Big Sioux, two on the Missouri and two on the Coon, all in the immediate vicinity. Cases of a similar character are being reported every day from points farther away, and a sharp watch is being kept by the local au­ thorities for floaters in the Missouri. Washington, April 12.—A statement relative to the agricultural intcreata of the submerged districts of the Mis­ sissippi valley south of Cairo, Hl., has been issued by thc department of agri­ culture. It is based upon a chart pre­ pared under the direction of the chief of the weather bureau show ing the ex­ tent of the flood on April 6. It says: The total area under water on April's was about 15,800 square miles, of which 7.900 square miles was In Mississippi, 4.500 square miles In Arkansas, l:750 square miles tn Missouri, 1JB0 In Tennessee, and 450 In Louisiana.

Were you born sensitive as to the effects upon the intellect and nerves'of "chcetnuts?" Then you were born but of your time. This is the age of ••chest­ nuts," observes the New York Herald. Ardently, but in rain, do you wish that every rose you see might indeed be “the last rose of summer," so weary are you of hearing them declare it. Make a remark about a name aud they arc panting to put the question: “What’s in a .name?” with an air bf conscious and original wit. It seems as if to their constitution a suppressed quotation were ns dangerous as sup pressed, gout, nr. 1 were they to enter a darkened roon with a companion without a reference to “darkness ris­ ible" the quotation mig-htadrikeinward with faAal effect. Speak of an object of beauty and they must throw out of their system “A thing of beauty is a joy forever" like a rash, that it would be dangerous to suppress. Should you mention any sight or sound seen or heard a little way off they will trip up your last words by reminding you that “distance lends enchantment to’'the view.” If they call at your house but seldom they will infallibly assest that their visits are like those of the angels “few and far between;" if they come often, that they return to- you “like a bad penny." Is thc practice of quotation, then, to be ruthlessly sup­ pressed without pity, without excep­ tion? Certainly not. There are some quotations which are not merely per­ missible but indispensable, and which we feel we could no more do without in writing and conversation than we could get cn without shillings and sixpences j in commerce. [ HUNTING THE BALLOT. SPECIFIC €3B SCROFULA. AYER’S --- S OCAL NEWS. HOW TO FIND OUT. A Field Where Forger and Manipulator Have Worked 8ucrev«fully. In no field of literature have the forgdr and the manipulator worked with greater vigor and success, says tbe Atlantic Monthly. From Percy’s day to our own it has beer, thought an innocent device to publish a bit of one’s own versifying, now and then, aq an “old ballad" or an “ancient song.5* Often, too, a late stall copy of a ballnd, getting into oral circulation, has been innocently furnished to collectors as traditional matter. Mere learning will pot guide an editor through these per­ plexities. What bi needed is, in ad­ dition/ a complete understanding of -the “popular" genius, a sympathet-c recognition of the traits thtft charac­ terize oral literature wherever and in whatever degree they exist. This fac­ ulty. which even the folk has not re­ tained. and which collectors living in ballad-sinjhtg and tale-telling times hove often; failed to acquire, was vouch­ safed by nut tire'herself to the lute Prof. Child. In'.reality a kind of instinct, it had been so cultivated by icing and loving study of the traditional litera­ ture of alii nations that it had become wonderfully swift in its operations nnd almost infallible. No forged or re­ touched piece could deceive him for a moment; lie detected the slightest jar in the genuine ballad tone. He speaks in one place of certain writers “who would have been nil the better histori­ ans for a little reading of romances." Tie was himself the better interpreter of the poetry of art for this keen sym­ pathy with the poetry of nature.

Henri Rochefort non remains the only surviving-member of the gov­ ernment of national defense, consti­ tuted on the fail of the emjdre in 8e|>tern her, 1570, soys a Parte correspondent of the London Telegraph. The fnmotifc puipphleteer comments on the subject' to-day in a half-mournful, half-jesting tone a.nd compares himself to “The Last of tho Alxjncerages,” in allusion to the work of that name by Chateau­ briand. “They arc ■ all gone/’says M. Rochefort. "Picahl. Gambetta, Jules Ferry, Jules Favre, Eugene I’elctaa, Cremirux. Ghus-Bizoin, Jules Simon, Gen. Trochu and now Arago. I have had the chance to we <hem all disap­ pear, the young ani thc old. for Ganibetta and Ferry were my juniors. Am­ bition killed some of them before their time and old age finished off the. rest.** Another feature in connection with M. Rochefort’s survival is thc fact that thc persons whose colleague he was for a very brief period did their best to have him condemned, Jujrs Simon, however, being an exception. Euimnnncl Arago, a friend of Rochefort’s family, was even one of those who-wanted the editor of the Latcrne to be trnniq»orted to New Caledonia. Some of the same colleagues also had him condemned in 16S9 with Gen. Boulanger in their capacities as senators or deputies. As to his con­ nection with the defense government, M. Rochefort says that he left the post as soon as he,could, for there was too much talk and* too little action. MELTING OLD OIL WELLS. How the Goahers of Former Days Are 1 T. \V. Young, of Washington, Lua in­ vented an electrical heater to be lowered into an oil well. Thc idea, is, says the Mining and Scientific Prers, to generate electricity in large quantities so that the refuse matter which clogs the pores of the oilstone will lx: melted and cun out, causing a fresh upward flow of oil. The theory as to the exhaustion of so many fcella is that the oil, in passing upward -through the atone, has clogged the porous stone with paraffin in such quantities that the further flow is stopped and thc well ceases to produce. Some think that it is because tbe sup­ ply in the earth has given out, but tbe generally accepted idea is that the oil is still abundant and only ceases to floUwhen the exit is-stopped. It 1ms been common to use torpedoes to shatter the stone at tbe bottom of the well, thus breaking up the clogged matter, but thta is an expensive process. By the Young method the machine, which is about three feet long and resembles an iron cartridge, is placed at the bottom of the well and electricity used of suffi­ cient voltage to produce an enormoua heat without melting the metal The currerrt goes down the wires, and. by the peculiar construction of the carborIMcked chambera, the intense heal i« ladiated into the rock in all direction, the paraffin and other refuse is soft- when the well is started a flesh flow JtooUaa ef B .Xu- Reeoix » the south of Ut^^re^ £"oS^r-»^ xra^^jsx^ lief tp sufferers it ia now the taat pla« on earth to which they should rio” teJdit?nw?tWi D,UV~ of b*l In Oetoter tte w.,..,,.,“«■«. cold ,u* dry. ,ud on x’**’ “-telly wheat plant was hmi]» ,h 1 roodillWh 1 |’,Ih ‘tellhy d«l«i tn th.

There nre beds and beds, but none is so comfortable, so restful, or so in­ teresting as that which tbe hunter, fisbennun, or plain cumper-oct makes for bcnself from the boughs of ever­ green trees in the forests of Maine, Canada, or any of the other great hunt­ ing ragfooM along the northern border. This la-d, made of short trimmings of twigs form the spruce, cedar, hem­ lock or balsam, or all four together, consists entirely of the “feathers” of tbe trees, the. aix-inch outshoots from branches,'with the plume end up, laid against a prostrate two-inch sappling, so that the head may have a pillow. As the twigs stand nearly erect the bed is four or fire inches deep, and a blanket spread over it yields and springs back aa oue rolls ovar it. The bed. wide in proportion to tbe number of persons to use it, and seven fret long, is as fluffy as a haymow, and gives forth a scent that soootbes and heals one’s senses and body. But the bough bed is gettiag leaa and lest used. Hotels and fancy cottage camps with tpring beds and linen •beeu are slowly superseding the oW■tyle hunter’* bed because of the dif­ ficulty and bother pf getting a new bed evftry trip.

She Felt Sorry for a Baby Wbo Had No DoU. , The stockings had been hung up and the little owes gathered around tbe hearth to hear mamma toll the story of the Babe of Bethlehem, says the New York World. Their small faces expressed profound sympathy when they heard hew the San of God was born in a stable, bow He lay on abed of straw, how He shivered in the cool December night and bow His life was in danger from the wicked Herod. Lit­ tle Bessie seemed to be particularly fanpressed. She said nothing, but one could see that she was thinking hard. When, half an hour later, mamma come to Bessie’s bed to kiss her good night, she found tbe child pressing her doll to her bosom and gazing at it with unutterable affection. As she stooped over the bed Bessie looked up and asked, earnestly: “Mamma, ain’t God’s baby got any dolly?” “No,” .replied the mother, smiling. Bessie looked at her doll again and hugged it. Then conflicting emotions showed themselves on tbe little face. After a long silence tbe child raised li er eyes, which tad such an expression as those of the martyrs must liave worn at the stake, and said, firmly: “Take it to Him, mamma.” Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the doll in her mother’s hands and buried her face in the pillow to try to forget the great sacrifice she had made. POWER OF A WOMAN’S WORD. It Overcame the Wrath of an Unfeeling Policeman. The following pretty story is taken from tbe New York Mail and Express, and is good enough to stand by itself. He was only an Italian fruit-vender. Ther was nothiug about him at all like­ ly to inspire the beholder with feeling, one way << another. He was not ragged esc^frh to call for especial sym­ pathy, nor unkempt enough to provoke disgust. Yet to the policeman on bis beat he was undoubtedly the object of considerable«vex'sion. This waashown by tbe unrelenting vigor with which the fruit-seller was pursued from cor­ ner to corner by tbexealous guardian of the law. The other day, in a too hurried re­ sponse to the everlasting order to “move on,” the ]>eddlex's cart was upset, and his peaches and pears were scat­ tered over the ground and across the street car track. The enraged police­ man could barely restrain tbe impulse ■ to use his eliib. “The dirty loafer!” be exclaimed. '“Me did it on purpose—just trying to -excite sympathy!” “He. has succeeded, then," said a soft voice at. the officer’s elbow, and a neat little woman stooped and began to gather up the scattered fruit. The officer’s face reddened. He hesi­ tated a moment, and then he, too, joined in tbe work of restoration. SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS. “The first successful substitute lor glass,” aeys an architect in the Waxhiugton Times, “in tectorium, a gelatin­ ous composition. It has not appeared -in this country at all, aa yet, but is being introduced in Europe. “This gelatinous substance is given rigidity by being spread on a galvan­ ised iron web, which holds tbe sheet ia any desired shape, but does not ob­ struct the passage of light. It is transInoent. bat not transparent, and can be stained in such a manner as to exactly imitate stained glass. “It cannot be broken nor softened by the rays of tbe sun, but Is flexible and When unstaiaed it at first is yellow. but on exposure to the sun it toms white, at the an me b’roebecomingbanler and more durable. 8 ml on CRITICS AND TARIFF BUILDERS, Mr. Dingley and his associates of the ways and means committee are vetcrens much too experienced in tbe tricks of political warfare to be confused by the senseless pretense that “they are yielding" if they find an error to cor­ rect, or that “they care nothing about public opinion" If the clamors of fanporlers aud their agents do. not move them from their duty to American in­ dustries. It is their part to go straight ahead according to their own convic­ tions, obtaining what light they can from debate or published comment, never hesitating to correct any error that TQfiy appear to them, but never de­ parting from their honest, beliefs as men trusted by the republican party to carry out Its principles and purposes as wisely as possible. Thus far it is equal­ ly gratifying to «ee that they have modified, spme points, out! that they have turned a deaf ear to the clamor of interested parties About others. No sensible man ever imagined that a tariff bill could be so framed at the start that it would not seem even to him to require modification in any de­ tail. The wise man never thinks that he knows everything or is infallible. The ceaseless and swift progress of science, invention and American Industries not only alters every month the I relationsof products previously known,! but brings into existence articles never | before known, either to experts, dealers or producers, about which the ablest students are not fully informed, so that | r.o man can say with certainty how; other products will be affected or to ‘ what extent. There are 21 clauses in one ! schedule alone of the Dingley bill np-1 plying to articles never known in bnsiness when any previous tariff was ' -framed, which have become so important, either directly or in their in­ ti uenco upon the production of other articles, as to require special provision. Hundreds more could be named which have not yet appeared of stick impor-' tanee as to need legislative notice. But in either direction the wisest mon liv­ ing maybe found imperfectly informed, whether he deems a provirion neces­ sary or not necessary, too high or too low. Tbe wisest man living will be con­ siderably more ready than the self­ satisfied donkey to seek further light* The current criticisms of the new. bill have manifested this year o foolish want of thought nearly as remarkable ns the ability shown in framing the measure. Thus one respectable journal I gravely argues that the present tariff , “produces more revenue than the law which bears McKinley’s name.” The present tariff produced in the last fiscal year $156,104,599 revenue, ami the McKinley act in 1893 produced $198,373,­ 453. If anybody should ask how . a rcptuable journal could make such a mistake, the only answer possible, is that no one can guess. Other journals, and men who have \be reputation of statesmen, have said: “It is admitted tbe revenue was only $29,000,000 below expenditures last year: what excuse is there for raising $117,000,000 more?" Here ore two stupidities tangled to­ gether. The forced balances last June, । by which $15,000,000 or more of ex­ penditures were thrust over into this year in order to make a good showing, deceive nobody who looks at the record and sees that the calendar year 1S96 closed with a deficit of $50,249,326. The country must raise'more revenue row, simply because democratic deficits have added in four years $262,000,000 to the national debts and interest must- be paid and the beginning of reduction must be made. > But. the other blunder of this tangle is slightly more exi-urable. Basing estimates upon the actual importations of 1S9G, the expert finds that duties would be increased $117,000,000 if im­ ports should remain tbe some. The blunderer drops the “if," and /ancles that he has a fact-. But the tariff-fram­ er knows that importations will not re­ main the same, distinctly intemis that they shall not continue to prostrate American industries as they bare, and next proceeds to calculate what decrease from the imports of 1896 may be ex­ pected. Thus Mr. Diagley arrived at the conclusion that about$70,000,000 in­ crease of revenue might be expected, unless considerable delay should en­ able importers to defeat it during the first year. But that there win be some delay is probable. A gain of over $50,­ 000,000 compared with the revenue of the last calendar year would barely pre­ vent a deficit.—N. Y.

In 1872 a family consisting of five members of the lower middle class could subsist on 70 yen a year. In 1803 the cost of living bad risen to 180 yen a year. During a period of 22 years the silver yen declined very neariyone-half io its gold value, about two-flftXm its power to buy merchandise and about onefourth Ln its power to buy labor. The gold value of the exports from the United Statesand England to Japan was over $18,000,000 in 1892 and nearly $31,000,000 in 1896, while the imports of tbe two from Japan were over $29,­ 000,000 in the first year and Less than $31,000,000 In the lost year.—Fred Per­ ry Powers, in Sound Currency for March 1. MONEY IN TEXAS. • The Galveston Daily News reminds its Texas readers of the difference in in­ terest rates in the northeastern states and in some of the western and south­ ern states and gives them a fewelespentary Iraaona on the reorcns tor thiacbf#Awane.A s«t n.l'Or low ” it It ference. "iT.lftT-aal “Interest is never c/N so low," rays,*“in communities given over to susrpictous fires, questionable assign­ ments, fraudulent failures or to legisla­ tion with a decided turn against the creditor and in favor of the debtor." Much of the market rate of interest is insurance against risk, and of course diminishes as the risk decreases. “Where men are required by law to pay their debts and are not sheltered and encouraged in tricky courses by unrea­ sonable exemption Jaws and by a pub­ lic prejudice against creditors as a class the risk is naturally less serious." Making its application to Texas, the News says: “We have a right to ieavea fraudulent debtor a resident worth $50,­ 000, all the bank stock or bonds he can carry and an extraordinary Collection of the tools of his trade or profession and to defy his creditors to crook a finger at him. We can do this if we prefer, but it is going to cost us some­ thing." It asks why tbe “goodly majo'riVy of the people of Texas," who “are not disposed to live high to-day and hide behind tbe exemption law, the as­ signment law or some other law to-mor­ row," should be forced by the discredit of bad laws and a few dishonest men “to pay two prices for every dollar they borrow." It believes the rate of interest would come down, one-half and the loanable funds would double if the honr est men of the state would demand the enactment of laws under which a cred­ itor could collect what is due him.

Grozinger was attracted by his cries and went to see what was wanted. He found things in bad shape, the man was so helpless, he could not assist him without help, so he tied the horse and covered up the man who by this time was nearly frozen, and went for help.

With our excellent ■hipping advantages; with a great abund­ ance of maple timber within easy reach; with beautiful residences, green, well-kept lawns, handsome streets, well shaded; with a wonderful supply of clear, cold water, affording both ample fire protection and just what is demanded for drinking purposes; with all of these things and many more. Hastings possesses advantag­ es fully equal to those of the most favored cities in the state as a place to do business in, and as a clean, healthy, residence city. The starting of this new Industry will make a demand for more houses. The houses In this city are pretty well occu­ pied and with 100 more employes and their families to provide with houses, the pres* ent capacity will be pretty well taxed. We understand that some comment has been Indulged in because tbe City Bank and Wool Boot Company were not down on the subscription list to Induce the new factory to locate here. Il Is very evident that those who have spoken thus are not acquainted with the facts. Mr. Reynolds, Cashier of the City Bank, had Power of Attorney to act for Mr. Ful* ler in this matter, and had strlct'tostruc-’ tlons not to sell for less than 810,000\ In looking over the situation Here Messrs Allen .and * Beech ask that three things be done: 1st—The 1897 taxes be paid. 9i»d—The buildings bo insured to Jan. 1st, 1898. / ' 3rd—That the buildings and machinery be put in good repair and ready to start. As $10,000 was the very lowest figure that Mr. Reynolds could consider, he could concede none of these things, but rather than lose the new industry, on behalf of the City Bank and Wool Boot Company he agreed to pay the taxes for 1897, and to Insure the buildings until Jan. 1st, 1898. and Mayor Waters and W. D. Hayes, on behalf of tbe citizens agreed that the building should be put in good repair. From this it will be seen that the City Bank and Wool Boot Company will stand $300 or more, besides some of the individ­ ual members subscribing to tbe fund raised by the business men.

DEPARTMENT, Delightful Reception-The Literary Pro- Thursday, April 22, will stand con­ spicuous as a red tetter day In the history ef tbe Hastings Women’s Club, Mrs. Emma A. Foe, of Detroit, presi­ dent of the Michigan State Federation of Women’s Clubs,.was their guest at a re­ ception given at the residence of Mrs. J. T. Lombard, on tbe aftercoon of that day. As the ladies arrived shortly after half after two,.they were presented to Mrs. Fox by Nra. Frances W. Smith, president of the home club. Tbe vice president and secretary Mrs. Geneva Hayes, and Mrs. Binnie M. Sweezey were also In the receiving line. The llt&ary and musical program given proved most enjoyable. It was opened by Mrs. Binnie M. Sweezey with a pleasing piano solo, aftar which tbe roll was called, to which members responded with quota-' lions pertaining to the various subjects which suet an occasion afforded. Tbe club were very much delighted to bear again Mrs. Emma J. Goodyear’s beautiful poem on Napoleon, originally given ou one of the club’s regular programs, and they were also glad to have Mrs. Fox hear the tine production and judge of what tbe flastluga club Is able to produce is a literary line. Mrs. Sadie R. Cook gate a recitation, after which our county school commis­ sioner Miss Flora J. Beadle gave au ad­ mirable talk on women's work along edu­ cational lines. Her remarks were exceed­ ingly Interesting and practical, nnd were thoroughly enjoyed. ' Mrs. Smith reviewed briefly for Mrs. Fox’s benefit the work the club had accomplished in literary and other lines tbe past year! Tlie club then had the pleasure of list­ ening to Mrs. Fox. She is a woman of marked personality and captivated her bearers immediately. Perhaps the im­ pression most strongly left of Mrs. Fox was her thorough womanliness, her charming simplicity and unaffected man­ ner, and withal her display of that most essential quality—good common sense. Her address contained so many good things we wish we might give it verbatim. She spoke of the similarity and contrasts of all Women’s clubs, the former being more noticeable than the latter. All clubs are working along slmillar lines, largely with the same object in view, and tbe contrast is the different methods employed in accomplishing their work. She spoke of tbe first meeting of women ever held in our aouutry which occurred in Phil­ adelphia g»me fifty years ago. when a number eT church ladies desired to meet for purposes pertaining to missionary work, and asked permission of the church vestry. After grave deliberation that august body decided they might meet, but it must be in the basement of the church and a.wuiti must preside over tbe meeting. Miss Anna Dickinson the first woman to appear on the platform attracted large crowds simply because she was a woman. Now ail Is changed, and a woman who lectures draws a crowd for practically the same reason a man does, for what she has to say. Site looks forward to the time when there will not be women's clubs, but clnl.sof men and women, where woman will be UH lurojuuAOU, recognized, iivi not because uuruusc she ?IIC >3 is A a woman wviuuii but by the importance of what slie has to sn.

Business men are apt to Judge a teacher by the character of bis business transact­ ions. “Does he not meet his obligations promptly?” “Is he reliable?” These are questions they are certain to ask. As a class, teachers are not distinguished for their wealth, but this, after all, is not ni’cessary to respectable standing in the business world. Is tbe teacher honest and prudent In his personal and family econ­ omy? Does he live within bis income? Does he take chances as to bis ability to make payments? Does he "stand off” his creditors? Are bis representations to be relied upon? Supposing that in the matter of truth­ fulness in his representations, of prudence in management, and of faithfulness to bls promises and obligations, he is unexcep­ tionable, .there yet remain other consider­ ations which the business men of the com­ munity will weigh in making their esti­ mate of him. Is he accustomed to the methodical habits of tbe business world, in so far as he is concerned with IL Can he draw a cheek or a note properly? Does he offer to give receipts for payments made to him, and does he expect to receive like acknowledgements of bls payments? Does he address bis business letters with suficiently specific directions? Are his orders for merchandise always definite and intelligible to the salesman? In send­ ing a telegrauL an express parcel, a money order, a freight shipment, does he indicate a ready familiarity with the rules and usages of such transactions? Does he appre­ ciate the value of a busing man’s time? It is by these little matters that the teacher will be largely judged in busi­ ness circles. He n *ed not, be should not be merely a passive recipient of tbe in­ fluence of the business world. His own influence will have a bearing upon the business habits of other citizen! with whem be comes in contact (b) As a patriot Patriotism does not consist in the un­ furling of flags and the utterance of civic sentiment nor are these tbe best and final tests of its genuineness. The true patriot exercises his right to vote. He is ready to sink partisanship, If necessary, in his support of the measures for the public welfare. He is the upholder of law and order. He is ready to perform all the dutits of good citizenship. The really patriotic citizen is the true American, and bis love of country is manifested in many ways. Whatever bis blrtu or ancestry, he is an American in sentiment, as well as in legal designation. He believes in American institutions, and does not speak of them with flippant disparagement. Nor does he speak patronizingly of them. He-believes in the greatness of his coun­ try, and in its future,—King'if School rntcreatk mid DiUtea. Friday was a day of no little Interest to Masons in this city and county, and they gathered here from far and near to become better posted in Masonry, to see the can­ didates tortured, to meet and greet old friends and renew old acquaintances. Lodges in Woodland, Nashville, Middle­ ville, Hickory Corners and Orangeville, were represented by goodly delegations, and besides these there were visiting bro­ thers from Lake Odessa, Lowell,Charlotte, Vermontville, Richland and other places.The brothers met within the- sacred walls and spoke of the deep, unfathomable mysteries and the perilous experience soon to be encountered by the three trembling candidates who were properly shackeled, and consigned to temporary confinement with the Lodge goat with nothing to eat but water and bread without any butter. The latter essential was made up by the goat who proved to be a good “butter.” As the writer had passed the first trying ordeal of Masonry, he was permitted to witness Mr. Ed.

During the Interim between the close of the program, and the time for serving refreshments, the time was happily passed, thanks to the ever presiding genius of Mrs. Smith, with original conundrums which she bad hastily thought out the evening before.

The ladies of tbe Presbyterian church furnished supper in the G. A. R. Hall and large numbers of Masons availed them­ selves of the opportunity of refreshing the inner man from the excellent menu served. Along about midnight the lodge goat was given an opportunity to rest, which the Caitjiful anima! had earned.

Sometimes this is done systematically, with an idea for general pictorial effect, and then looks wery pretty.

Owing to its marvelous power as a tonic and ner­ vine, It positively cures all diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys, giving new life and strength and affording welcome relief to all sufferers of dyspepsia, consti­ pation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nervousness and sickhf.adache.

The workman cfcten eats his lunch on the same bench where he does his work. Tbe office man turns his desk Into a din­ ing-table. Neither gets the out of doors exercise he needs, neither takes the proper time for eating. It is small wonder that tbe digestion of both gets out of order. In such cases Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets come to their assistance by aiding nature In taking care of the food. The cause of nine-tenths of the sickness of the world Is constipation. From this one cause come indigestion: disorders of the stom­ ach, liver and kidneys; biliousness, head­ aches, flatulence, heartburn, Impurity of the blood and tbe serious complications that follow. To begin with, constipation is a little thing, and a little thing will* cure it The “Pleasant Pellets” are tiny, sugar-coated granules. They will per­ fectly cure the worst case of cdnAtlpatlou and indigestion. If tba druggist tries to sell you some other pill that pays him greater profit, just think of what will best pay you.

What does It mean? It means that people are losing flesh, growing thin, wasting. Tbe way to correct this condition is to improve the digestion. Tue condition arises from an inability to eat and digest food. In fact food does more harm than good because It ferments and putrefies in the stomach, developing poisonous substances which when absorbed cause various disorders. What is required is that tbe stomach be made to perform its duties. The Shaker Digestive Cordial is a food already digest­ ed and is a digester of foods as well.

For an animal of tho elephant’® build thia is quite remarkable. Charley also stands on his hind legs and wavea his forelegs in the air. He waltzes with much grace with admirable precision. He has been in tbe borine** for 31 years and knows much more about it than the average keeper. It is said that bo is as highly educated as an elephant can be. Having so much education and experience. Charley exacts a considera­ ble amount of respect from keeper*.. He regards only a finrt-clam elephant train­ er as his superior. For more than a year Charley liad a keeper who beat him cruelly. About a year ago the man was discharged from the circus. Recently he was reengaged to work in another department. He visited tbe elephant's quarters the other day to speak to tbe keeper. Char­ ley was eating his supper when be saw his old enemy. He immediately seized the man with his trunk, pushed him against the wall and crushed him to death. , . • Sanger, tbe owner of the circus, was the great witness in Charley’s favor at the inquest. He said he was the kindest elephant ever known. Headded: "Elephants do not forget injuries or kindnesses. I remember several re­ markable instances. On one occasion, v- hen I hid been separated from an ele­ phant for two years, the elephant, on seeing me, ncized me round the waist with his trunk and would not let me go until he had hugged and ceressed me for a long time. Tears of pleasure ran down the brnte’a cheeks. "Some years ago a nephew of mine, a child of three, was playing around Charley and climbing up his legs. Charley gently resented thia, but tbe child continued. Charley then took tbe child up, shook him gently and put ffiin NEW CENTBaL BUILDING both We shall from bmp to t!n>t eiji your attention to our stock of Feed, Flour.

Dnnovan’s pet curfew bill, provid­ ing that all children between toe ages of eight and sixteen be off the streets by eight o’clock, was vetoed by Gov. Pingree, last Thursday. * In a somew «at lengthy veto message be gives in part as his reason for his ac­ tion. the following: ’ ••i further submit that the act provides for in'-rferrnce^n tbep.noftbe.tale in matters concern, 111 IllUiriO of purely domestic -------------- - . ami beeks to Interpose police for parental i autnurlty. Under such an act the evident duty of the police would be to arrest child­ ren improperly out at night, and Imprison them in the station awaiting the courts next day, thus bringing the immature minds Into familiar contact with criminal courts, prisons and their surroundings, for an offense within the powei of parents and guardians to remedy. The first impulse of boys would be to scheme to evade such a law; and for the state to provide for such lessons of incipient law-defying, would be to afford schooling that might eventually develop into something of a more serious nature, both for the boys and for the slate. I regret to refuae my approval to a bill founded, as I believe this to be, upon good Intentiona. It is a seriona matter, how­ ever. to submit the citizen even when of full age to arrest. It is doubly so when the person arrested Is a child. An arrest even when followed by a small fine, classi­ fies one as a criminal. The person arrested may be asked on the witness stand if he has ever been arrebled.and he is compelled to answer. An arrest of a boy or girl, for being out at night, may put a blot upon an entire H e It not only tends to dis­ grace one in the eyes of other*, but to destroy one’s self respect Under toe present law persons woo are behaving in a disorderly manner may i>e arrested and punished.

The unions have increased in member­ ship during the year: superintendants de­ partment work gave a good showing. Mrs. M. H. Parmeter, president of the Eaton County W. C. T. U., and Mre. E. L. Calkins, national organizer were present, and added much to the Interest of the ses­ sions by their practical talks. Mrs. Cal­ kins gave the Wednesday evening address on "Christian Patriotism,” taking our na­ tive land as the base of her ringing tem­ perance address. The address of welcome was given by Mrs. Cora Barnum: response by Mrs. L. U. Chapman. The papers on “The Model W. C. T. U. Woman” by Mrs. Pinney; “Intemperance.” by Mrs. Wolf; “Influence,” by Miss ' Brown, were very interesting and well received. Thursday evenlug the audience were highly •enter­ tained with a lecture by Dr. Thomas Suleeba on "The Orient—Who Is the Sultan— Armenia."

The Ordinary, So-called “Hoad Work" Only Maker Poor Hoads Worse, and More Kxpenitlve to Farmer*. WHOLE NO. 2186 the road between bis house and this city, be could haul “all that his wagon would stand up under,” to use his own expres­ sion. Frank Hoes, M. Doud, Chas. Gard­ ner and others all report the same. The Now York Ledger very truthfully says: “Bad roads, mud. ruts and irregulari­ ties are expensive th.ugs. An old farmer used to say that ruts and freezing and thawing cost him a new wagon every five years. Very few people realize what rough roads cost them. Of course It is only a”’bolt to-day, a tire to-morrow, a wheel sprung next week, or an axle warped out of shape at some other time, but these things come, sometimes cverlapping like shingles on a roof. They are put down- to wear and tear and in a way accepted as the Inevitable simply because roads have always been bad and one scarcely has a right to expect anything else. But the difference in, the lasting qualities of a wagon on a thoroughly good road and an extremely bad one would sur­ prise the owner of such a vehicle were he able to keep track of the exact figures in the two conditions,” The question of good roads Is one that the people of Barry County hove got to solve. Though for centuries it has been a question that has been given no attention whatever. Highway Commissioners have gone on year after year scraping,all of the sand, sticks, and loose stuff from the side of the road up into the center of the road, and we know of one Instance where pure, white sand was taken from the bottom of a bill and dumped on the top of Uiq same hill, just as if this enterprising (?) good­ roads (?) enthusiast (?) wanted to make the hill a little steeper and the sand a little deeper. Nobody knew, nor yet knows, what it was for, but the man “worked out his. road work.” The result was about the same as that which comes from the perni­ cious system of allowing road taxes to be worked out—the roads were made a little worse. ■ The City of Hastings will not be able to assist in building good roads this year, owing to Ils deplorable'flnancial condition, but next year and every year thereafter we would like to see the “highway fund”used for highway purposes, and not serve ns a sort of a reserve lor every other fund that becomes shy. There ought to he no such a thing as a Highway fund, or else ____________________ __ _ be spent »... he __ money raised for it should ( upo-, the highways. We believe the farmere around here appreciate that good-roads are for their interest more than for any other clhss. Just so long as farmers in in-­ stet upon standing in their own light and refuse to enter into a movement calculated to benefit themselves, just so lung they ' mnnnt A better thAir cannot expect »to their in» lot nr or Minrti. condi­ tion, or enjoy any of the benefits and pleasures that can come from a good, hard, smooth road. * Enough has been done in tbe way of good roads work in this vicinity to con­ vince every farmer and business man that that It is a paying investment of time and trouey expended. The farmers who live along tbe line of the^rood road, on what Is termed the "River Road,” can draw double the loads they used to draw before the roads were fixed; they can do It easier, quicker, and with far less wear and tear on wagons, harness and horses. In case any uf the pien along that line wanted.jo sell their places they could sell them to far belter advhhtage than could the farmer in any other direction from this city. Other places In this state are not as far in the background in the necessity for good roads as we are, and a good road runping past any farm in this community certainly would have a great attraction for any pirbspeetivc purchaser. Generrf Roy Stone, who Is at tbe head of the Road Improvement Department at Washington, says that good roads will make g<x>d times, and that farmers will prosper whet* "mud will no longer enforce idleness.’* In an address recently giyeu President—Mrs. E. Birnum, Hastings. he advocated the idea that has been fol­ Cor. Bac’y—Miss Untie Barnum. HMtluga. Rec. Sec v-Mca. L. C.

Among other things he said: “That rood roads will bring prosperity is no Idle dream.

The woman was Mrs. John Wolf, formerly-Mlss Frank Gordnier. Mr. and Mrs. Wolf have but recently moved to town, and live with Mrs. Wolfs sister.. Miss Laura Gordnier, ip the south.part of town. Wednesday evening she bad the horse out in the yard eating grass, and was holding it by a heavy rope, attached to the halter. In some manner the horse became fright­ ened and started to run away, and the rope became tied about one of Mrs. Wolfs limbs, jerking her off her feet and render­ ing her powerless to help herself. The horse ran into the street and turned north, dragging Mrs. Wolf at the end of the rope, C. B. Marshall, the young son of J. B. Marshall, ran out,and with a rare presence of mind, tried to cut the rope with a poc­ ket-knife as the'bone passed him, but he was thrown to the ground and failed to accomplish his object T. C. Downing and Dell Cazier tried to stop the horse but he swerved from his course and ran through Ira Miller’s back yard. The helpless victim, dragging at the end of the rope, struck the end of a pile of wood, which was torn down, but the rope was too strong to break. Around through F. T. Boise’s back yard, and out to the street again went the crazy animal in his wild career, Mrs. Wolf bai-ely missing striking the stone foundation of the house. She caught a post, but could not tear herself loose from the r«pe. She caught at a vine to Bvis-f’s yard, but it pulled up by the root*. Down the high terrace in front of Mr. Boise’s, the tTightened horse leaned, into the road, tli-nce east to Main street and south again he flew, his helpless bur­ den narrowly escaping being thrown down the high embankment near Quaker Brook bridge.. In front of E. J. Feighner’s, Del. Cazier. Cap. Sprague and W. S. Heaeox caught the flying rope and aided by Fred VanOrsdell and Clint Jones, who got the infuriated animal by the head, succeeded in bringing him to a standstill. Mrs. Felghner unfastened the rope and the unfortunate lady was picked up. To the amazement of all it was found that she was not only alive, but conscious, and she was picked up and tenderly carried to her home. .. Dr. W. H. Young was immediately sum­ moned and upbn making a caretui exam­ ination found that the only serious injury the lady had sustained was a badly broken ankle. She was bruised of course, from head to foot, and the skin was torn off In many places, but she rested well during tlie night and yesterday was feeling bright and cheerful, in fact much better than could have been expected. The broken limb was carefully set, and friends and neighbors are doing everything possible to alleviate her suffering and make her as comfortable as possible. Soon after the accident Clint Jones got om the horse that had caused the trouble, to go out in the country where Mr. Wolf was putting down a well, to notify him of the accident, tait the bor.*e o»'j»-<*ted’tp beIng ridden and unceremoniously dumped Jones off, then ran and jumped into the buggy ol Chas. Baker, the mail carrier, who was just passing, overturning the buggy, throwing out Baker, who was badly bruised, and buiashiug the buggy. Baker’s team then ran away, but wa^ caught before doing any damage. Altogether, it was a chapter of accidents and excllement such aa the south aiders have not had for many a year, and which they are willing to forego for many years more. • It seems almost miraculous that Mrs. Wolf was not killed, as all who saw the ucciirrriw* certainly thought she would lie, and she is being congratuhted by her many friends on Is-r eac-spe from death, even though so badly In lured. * ' - , CHILD BADLY BITTEN. Little Mildred Brown, the Victim of a barton* Accident. Mildred, the 18 months old daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, living three miles north, of fiastings, was the victim of a terrible accident Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have recently moved ip the bouse with the former's mother, Mrs. Royal H. Brown. The little child stood in the kitchen door .with some food in its hand, and was about to feed the dog, which belonged to Its grandmother, aa It often did their own. when the beast sud­ denly jumped, and grabbed the child by the throat dragging II down the four stew to the ground, when it bit It again this time through the tongue. The terrified mother was coming from the barn at the time, but was unable to render any as­ sistance until the dog had accomplished his work. The child was Immediately brought to the City, and taken to Dr. Kirk’s office, where the wounds were dressed, when the profuse bleeding bad stopped enough to warrant It. At this writing Dr, Kirk Inform* us the little girl seems to be doing nicely, the ’ swelling having gone down considerably, and unless something new develops, noth­ ing but a bad .soar will be the ultimate re­ sult of the accident. • Strange as it may seem, the dog still lives. ?

During tbe years of its existence, little, low, wooden buildings have given way to the more pretentious brick business blocks and beautiful residences now adorn the spots then covered with stately oaks.

When it comes back for final action it will have the care­ ful attention of tbe national legislature, every industry will have had a suitable bearing, and respectful consideration giv­ en its requests. After It has passed and become a law, we believe that things will gradually improve, and that by tbe end of four years tbe people of this country will have become so thoroughly convinced of the absolute necessity of protection, by reason of Vetter times and better business, that, they will never want to listen to tbe siren song of free trade again, and be led astray by theories that have always proved disastrous to this country and always will under our present conditions. The theo­ ries of free trade are finely spun and very “catchy,” but four years of costly experi­ ence caught to have taught the people of this country a lesson. On the other hand a quarter of a century’s experience with protection, under which we prospered as no country ever prospered, and paid off our bonded indebtedness at a rapid rate, Instead ot having to sell bonds to meet running expenses, ought to convince ns that it is practical, If not so finely theo­ retical, and ought to be continued.

For the pa*t two weeks society has been on the <zui vine, anticipating the appear­ ance of the Lady Minstrels. Rehearsals have been held with closed doors, and the occasional mysterious ru­ mors afloat concerning some of the fea- ■ tures of the entertainment only helped to quicken the interest. Last evening the long looked for event arrived, and shortly after eight the curtain . rose on a striking scene. The stage set­ tings were very attractive, and with the bright hued costumes of the thjrty-five dusky damsels taking part, made a decldly fine effect Time does not penult mention of the in­ dividual work of each, but the work of the bones and Iambus, and MissMcGahen’s as interlocutor, together with some of the specialties, could hardly be bettered among professional minstrels. The local hits were very wittr, being intensely enjoyed by all but the persona hit The Eaton Rapids joke caused by the scrap between the two end men occasioned a laugh that was prolonged several min­ utes. The march closing the entertain­ ment was particularly fine. Miss McGaheu fully sustained the repu­ tation she had won in other places as a director of Lady Minstrel shows. The re­ ceipts were 8108. CROP REPORT, Condition of Michigan Crop* for the April was a cool wet month. The mean weekly temperature of the State during the month was from two to nearly four degrees below the normal, and the rainfall after the 10th in excess ot the normal. The last week of the month the rainfall was excessive, almost drowning out wheat on low. flit and undrained fields. The eastern portion of the central . section seems to have suffered most The reports were made on Saturday, May 1. before the rains had ceased. The average condition’of wheat is as follows: Southern counties, 84; central, 74; northern, 87; and State, 82 ber cent, com­ parison being with vitality and growth of * average years: The average for the Stale in 1896 was 92. 80 in 1895, and 90 in 1894. The condition iu the southern counties is seven per cent lower than one year ago. Very little wheat will be plowed up In the southern and northern counties be­ cause winter-killed or otherwise destroyed. The proportion in the central counties is reported at 11 per cent Correspondents in their notes comment extendedly on the outlook, but these notes are not quoted as the percentages given fairly indicate their views. The amount of wheat reparted marketed by'farmers In April is 829,458 bushels, as compared with 463.-634 bushels In April, 1896, and 810,226 bushels in April 1895, and the amount in the nine months, Au­ gust—April. Is 8,364.829 bnshels. as com­ pared with 7.781.870 bushels in the same months last year, and 9,670,541 bushels in 1895. The wet weather has been favorable for grass, and the area that will be plowed up because of winter-killed oy otherwise des­ troyed Is estimated at only .7 per cent of the total area of the State. Iu May 1896. the percentage was 26. The average con­ dition in the southern counties is 90; cen­ tral. 8(i; northern. 87. and State, 89.

Wolcott, w.vv,*( *PuWW f/ WiM Chnrab, of Fleming, «• had been cored of nervous prostration by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for PahPeople, lie sent a reporter to that town to ascertain from Mr. Wolcott the truth of the report, and receive from his own lips n •tatemeot of his case and bow he had been benefited. The reporter found Mr. Wolcott to be a gen tieru an some 40 or 45 years of age, in good health, and active in his ministerial duties. Jle is highly esteemed as a pastor and a citiren, and is a gentleman of strict integrity, whose statements can be implicitly relied upon as truthful in every r«*pcct and devoid of exaggeration. In-reply to ques­ tions as to the truth of the report that he had been benefited by Pink Pills htf made the following statement: “ Eight years ago while pqptor of the Baptist Church in Covert, N. Y., I was stricken with riirt-vous prostra­ tion. During the winter of 1887-8, I had conducted revival services and delivered t series of lectures in addition to my work as pastor and became completely run down. I could not work, and felt us though my days were numbered. I tried a doctor, but did not receive much aid from him. At tliis time I received a call from the «hurch at Tally, N. Y. At first I determiiied not to accept it, fqr I knew that in iny weak condition I could not do the work. But hoping •gainst hope, I finally decided to try and ac­ cordingly went there. My health continued to fail and I grew weaker, and I thought I vould have to give up entirely my work for God, which I love. Jost then, however, the •un broke through the clonds. Mr. Tail­ man, of Tully, whom I shall always re­ member as a benefactor, recommended me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He had tried them and tliey had done him good. As a last resort I tried them. The effect wu# wonderful and immediate. From the very first box my system began to tone np. my blood became rich, and once more I became the strong and vigorous man I was before my health fitUed. • “My labors, if yon' kntAr of the labors of • country parson, you can readily believe, were very henry. I had not l>een able to work, and was losing n»y interest in the cause of Christ, but like magic my old vigor returned and for three snore years I labored •there and raised $4.<W toward building up the Church in addition to my regular duties. All my friends say of me that I am a very hard working man, bnt in Covert I could not work. After I went to Tully and the pills had restored my health, I think I may say that I merited that name. For three or four years after I left Tally I did evangelistic work. Two years ago I came here. Since then 1 have never hud any return of my old trouble, but mn in good health, strong aud active, with no symptom of nervons pros­ tration. which was caused by overwork. It is a homely expression, but I felt like a 4 wrung-out dish-cloth without any starch in it.’ ** I owe my present gnod health to Pink Pills, and want most heartily to commend the magic remedy to every one trouhl^t nervousprostration or physical weakness Asa parting remark Mr. Wolcott said have often thought that in return for Dr- Williutn*’ Pink Pills have •done for me, I would like to Imtouh n medical missionary to mako known their merits. HEXT OF DR. WILLIAMS' PIRK PILLS. JYom the Timet andExpotilor, Adrian, Mich. m,„ of Morenci, Michigan. In the spring of 1893, Mr. Simpson's health, which had heretofore been characterized by the utmost ruggedness, begun slowlv, at first almost unnoticeably to fail him. The first symptom h* experienced was an unaccount­ able loss of his appetite. His weight, which had averaged 175 pounds fora nuteber of years, began slowly to decline. He l>ecame n subject of the blues and his days were made miserable by an almost constant headache. As the case progressed tlie symptoms be­ came more marked, plainly indicating a radical disorder of the ftmetions. lie be­ came enervated and depressed, his skin became dry and harsh, a heavy, drag­ ging pain in the region eff the kidneys strongly prohounoed the nature of tne trouble—kidney disease, although repeatedly incorrectly diagnosed. He consulted and was treated by expert medical men, and at periods felt better. Tite encouraging changes, however, were deceptive. He lost hope, believing himself to l>e on the verge of an1 invalid's life. His admirabler physique and great endurance resisted for a time the encroachment of the disease. But the struggle seemed hopclou. Although cognizant of a remarkable cure Dr. Williams’' Pink • Pills had performed in this’ locality, indubitably proving their great efficacy and virtue, he iiad little faith of their helping him. Nevertheless, he {mrchased a box of the pills and began takng them. At first he noticed no change in liix daily condition, but as he continued the use of the pills he became convinced that there was a change. ««>d that change together with a resume or his complete restoration to health is better told in his words: “ I determined to give tliem a thorough trial and ascertain their true merit*. At tne commendrinent I was fast nearing a physi­ cal wreck, pain racked, and strongly tempted, at times to end my miserable existence. But after I had taken the first box of Dr. Wil­ liams’ link Pills 1 could not help but feel, and my friends but notice the • cluing? that had occurred. My periods of denression were growing less freuuent and 1 begun emoviug instead of dreading my night's rest. “Could it be possible that a permanent change for the better bad occurred ? It seemed too good for me to build hopes upon, yet I was surely improving-—miraculous it seemed I continued using the pills and during tho succeeding weeks I gained rapidly and with convalescence came joy. The rond to re­ covery is a sunshiny one, no fears, no dis­ couragements. no more depression, a keen and delightful realizing that once more health is near nt hand, and health,” he said impressively, “ is everything.” ' “ Do you enjoy as good health now as you did before your sickness’” queried the re­ porter. ; “Yes, sir. I am strong, have a hearty appetite and enjoy sound, refreshing sleep. But I kccp.thc pills ever at hand, and.” be contimml. “I firmly believe that had it not beep for them I would not be here to-day. I owe my life to them and am ever ready to voice my most grateful praise in favor of their wonderful merits.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con­ densed form, nil tho elements necessary to give new lifr and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerx-rs. They arc an unfailing spe­ cific fur such tTiscases as locomotor ataxia, par­ tial pnralysw, Sr. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neu­ ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, 'the after effect.of !•: grippe, palpitation of tho SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILE ASfesetabfe Preparation for As­ similating theToodaiKlRegulatiqg tbe 5loaachs and Bowels cf Promotes Digestion,Cheerfulness and HestCoatains neither Omuni,Morphine nor Mineral.

Although the Dingley bill as reported from the senate finance committee is hardly recognizable by the framers of the original measure, it cannot be rea­ sonably contended that the changes in the schedules were unexpected or that they come in the nature of a sur­ prise to the country. Indeed, there is scaroeiy a modifica­ tion in the bill that was not antici­ pated by these who know the drift of tariff sentiment in* the senate. The house merely followed its usual custom of responding promptly and adequately to the popular will, While the senate has adhered to its time-honored pre­ rogative of. potting on the brakes. That the senate would deny itself the pleasure of curbing the zeal of the pi» tcctipmsts in the bouse was not ex­ pected for a moment. Even though the administration had a pronounced ma­ jority in the senate, the latter body would have felt constrained to do the usual paring and trimming, to the end (that more conservative ideas might prevail in the schedules. The threat of n "bitter tariff war" is premature and ill-advised. If sober and patriotic counsel prevails the house will discern the necessity of acceding to the most of the changes as grace­ fully as possible, to the end thpt the rertoration of business confidence and industrial activity may not be delayed because of controversies over details. The peculiar political complexion makes certain concessions advisable and necessary. It must be borne in mind that the report represents the mature judgment of such stanch pro­ tectionists as Senators Allison and Aldnch, who stand very cloee to the a dm inistration and who understand fully the needs of-the treasury and the just claims of the industrial interests affected. The platform Aipon which Mr. Mc­ Kinley waa elected pledged the admin­ istration to no particular schedules. It is impossible that the ways and means commitiee of the house should contain all the wisdom and all the knowledge on this question. It is ad­ mitted that the measure as amended will yield $70,000,000 additional reve­ nue annually, and it is admitted that it is conservatively protective. More ’than this lhe house oannot ndc at this time. The tariff law of 1897 will lie th»measure agreed upon between the or*0mittees of the two houses after tte de­ bate is over.

The nati'-^al “deficit" for February,' the last r»ox*th of free trade rule, was $4,395,0*#. The surplus for March was 59.U0J.665, and the April surplus was $5,750,000. It is thus seen -that the first two months of the new republican rule have resulted in a total surplus <>f $14,­ 754,665 over the expenditures for the two months. During March and April, 1896, the '•clover" administration had a "de­ ficit" of $9,145,059. The figures are in­ teresting, for they make a change of nearly $24,000,000 in favor of the pres­ ent government. Of course republican government is not entitled to all the credit of the great increase in the gov­ ernment’s revenues, and the always truthful paper wil| not so claim.

Covert clothes ore agnin to be the fashion this spring, and just as smart as ever do these costumes look, with the Jacket quite short, extremely jaunty and single breasted, with the buttons on an Invisible lap, und narrow, high re­ vere and narrow turned-down collars. Sleeves are much ■ mailer than laatyear but in the same shape, and gathered.’ not plaited, intbd .e armbole, with here and there rows b.' gathering to hold the sleeve in place. he back ot the jacket is tighbfltfing, V ith full, but not flar­ ing skirt, but the points are loose, with just one dart to give a pretty curve in at the waist. The Eton jacket* are not to be dis­ carded, and o^e in many of the new costume*, in covert doth, is one which fits as tight as a dress waist, and is but­ toned in front (the buttons not show­ ing), and finished at the neck with nar­ row lajiels and turned-over- collar, like the other coat just described. Longer by an ipch or two than the ordinary Eton jackets, this extends below the waist line at the back ami sides, and gives almost an exaggeratedly long waist effect. No amateur dressmaker should attempt this particular pattern for a gown, as it- requires to be most carefully cutand fitted, and skirt no less than waist must be perfection. Checked and striped cheviot skirts are to be v ortf with the black jackete, and while this is not a new style, it is al­ ways a pretty and most useful one. The jackets are double-breasted, but by all other ]»oint8 are the facsimiles of single­ breasted ones. In all black are some smart gowns. The coat is tight-fitting and high in the neck, a la militaire, as has been fashionable this winter. Between seasons many of the leading tailors make up gowns .Tor less price than at the height of the season, and us the -styles for the spring and summer are already known, it is by no means a bad scheme for the really economical­ ly disposed women to order her spring costume how, a* a tailor gown does not go out of fashion nearly so soon us a more elaborately trimmed one docs. The black and white stripes which give such a slender air to the figure, are to be greatly in favor, and while they arc certainly exceedingly plain, have a de­ cidedly smart look. A plain skirt with narrow front breadth und well-gored sides and the fullness in a small space at the back; a tight-fitting waist, with lapels open­ ing just a bit to show a glimpse of man­ nish shirt and necktie, the whole cos­ tume made of the black and white, Is about as becozning a gown as a woman can have, and with a warm fur whip can be worn now and yet lie appropri­ ate for warmer weather, when no wrap will be needed. Marvelous are some of the ready­ made suit*, costing, of course, much less than when made to order, and fin­ ished with the greatest care and atten­ tion toe very detail. Thestyle of coat and skirL is the best in these, and then the inevitable shirtwaist can take a new lease of life. In rough tweeds and chev­ iots and in the different grades of serge and cheviot, there are numberless cos­ tumes of this description to be had, while in more fancy styles with braid­ ing galore are many, many more.—N.

The main thing with children is to have them well started with good prin­ ciples, which they will carry through Ufa. Obedience. Uruth. unselfishness, purity, are essentials, and these can all l>e lovingly .cultivated, and will flourish in the right home atmosphere. When the nursery brood is undressed and in bed, tbe lights turned low, the room quiet for the night, the mother, or nurse, or elder sister, or the kind nuntie, who is still to be found in some fortunate houses, should have a little fund of stories on which to draw for the small listener** pleasure before they embark on the train for dreamland. Fairy stories are always enjoyed by children, and the llteratureof fairyland Is not far to seek. Imagination is very active in little children, and occasion­ ally one meets a mother who does not understand the child’s world, having forgotten her own earty days and their illusions, or who is afraid that fancy and it* imageries will lead her child into deceit. While the most exact and rigid truthfulness should be practiced in cur dealings with children, and they themselves should be taught to shun equivocation and every foon of lying, still we need not fear to let imagina­ tion give them pleasure. They early learn to discriminate be­ tween the false and the true—or per­ hap* it would be better to say .that they ’earn to find the truth wrapped up in tbe husk of the story. Our fairy lore is older than civilization.. The same stories, with variations, have in all ages and climes been taught and told to children, and they have their origin in the needs end tbe heart of the race.

WHOLE NO. 2189 A BAD BUSINESS BOY8 ARE ROBBING BIRD6 NE6T8 AND COLLECTING BIRDS EGGS. Plain Violations of the Law, and All Offenders Hereafter Will be Arrested. Unknown to many citizens ot this city there has been a raid on birds nests by young boys, which if allowed to continue promises to drive out all the beautiful birds from this vicinity. A craze to make a collection of birds eggs seems to have struck young boys, and neats of birds eggs have been pillaged in a most ruthless manner by them. In some instances young men, old enough to discountenance such a thing, have In­ dulged in this sort of business to the en­ couragement of the younger boys, who have pillaged right and left. We under­ stand ttfat young men, almost full grown, have kept a ladder nt the fair ground to get into the large oak trees with, and nests of ever}* kind torn down, and the eggs taken away. Young men in their teens have made, and still make excursions Into the coun­ try and out through the woods In search of birds lieslb to rob. and nothing is spared. One boy about 14 years old is reported as going up the river Sunday and returning with over 50 eggs of^llfferent varieties all packed 4u cotton batting. Another young man is reported qs making an excursion almost to Shultz station to rob birds nests. In one place in thirdly a uew variety of birds made their appearance this year and built their nests. Eggs were no more than laid before the nest was robbed and the birds disappeared. Those boya who have been doing this kind of business may be ignorant of the fact that there is a state law which pro­ vides both fine and Imprisonment for its violation. Following is the law as taken from Howell’s Annotated Statutes Vol. 3, Compilers section 2215s. “Any person who shall at any lime, within thia state, kill any robin, nighthawk, whippoorwill, finch, thrush, lark, swallow, yellow bird, blue bird, brown thrasher, wren, marlin, oriole, woodpecker, bobolink, or any «song bird, or rob the ncstx of Kiic.h birds, shall be guiliy of a misdemeanor, and on con­ viction thereof, shall be fined S5.00 for each bird so killed, and for each nest so robbed, or confined In the county jail fur ten days, or both such tine and imprisunment In the discretion of the court.” "Forewarned isr-fore armed.” All vio­ lations of this law will be prosecuted and hereafter any and all persons violating it will be dealt with according to law. We presume that most. If not ell. of the smaller boys were ignorant ot the penalty attached to robbing birds nests. They have done what they have not through any vicious dispositions, or any idea ot destroying birds, but were simply carried away with the ••egg-collecting” craze, and when they learn the penalty they will quit.

He hafi acquired a business experience that will be valuable to him lu his work as Page In Congress. For five years he lived in Chicago and found out a great many thing? that he didn’t know before. Since returning to this city lie has been the enterprising agent for several different papers, and by hustling has succeeded nicely. He has also been a member of the vested choir of Emmanuel church. The salary of a Page is 8100. per month during sessions of Congress and the positi.on will be good for two years. Lem will leave for Washington to-night and will make the journey in company with Huu.

The number of applications received at this office from January 1, 1897, to April 1, to purchase and pay taxes, exceeds the number of such applications for tbe entire year 1896. This enormous amount of work coming at a time when tbe clerical force in tbe tax division of this depart­ ment was almost wjiolly engaged upon tbe work of entering tbe county treasurer s re­ turns of the December ••lea. making tax registers, etc., has necessarily caused an accumulation of current business, and de­ layed us In giving prompt attention to all applications.

EATON AND BAR* RY INSURANCE COMPANY. ntcnwting Reminiscence of the Fight Between the Barry A Eaton and the Companies- A letter from tbe State Insurance De­ partment confirms the report that a Re­ ed ver has been appointed for the Ionia, Eaton and Barry Insurance Company. A decree of the Court has been filed appoint­ ing J. Warren Peake, formerly Secretary of the Company, aa Receiver. Readers of the Banner will remember that 10 of 12 years ago a hot fight was waged between the Barry <fc Eaton Insur­ ance Company and the Unia, Eaton «fc Barry. Columns of space were devoted to each rfde. and the future alone was left to tell of the outcome. Circulars by the thousand were scattered broadcast,' and the |>oliry holder was left •‘all at sea”, as to tbe comparative merits of the two companies. Time which generally rights all things, seems to have decreed in favdr of the Barry l<e Eaton, for that Company is solid, pn>B|H*ring and growing -while Its old time rival, tbe Ionia. Eaton & Barry' is in the hands of a Receiver. One of thp circulars Issued by Secretary Kogers, when the fight was on, reads as follows In closing “While our opponents made al) manner of misrepresentations to obtain risks, without the remotest design of keeping their faith, the managers of the Barry and Eaton County Insurance Com­ pany strictly charged their agents to be scrupuously truthful in every transaction with the public, minute or remote. Truth is mighty and will prevail, and whether It Is bread or otusL smooth sea or sailing rough, its motto in tin- future as in the ’ past Will ever be. "A fair deal,' l>y a fair company, with a fair people;” Appropriately In this City Decoration Day was observed with appropriate exercises in this city Monday, all of the stores, b .slness places and fac­ tories being closed in honor of the day. the graves of tbe boys in blue, were lad­ en with beautiful flowers, tender memor­ ies of a truly grateful people for the valable services they rendered their country in its time of need. The Soldiers Monu­ ment was draped in black and an appro­ priate floral piece to "The Unknown Dead” was at its base. The beautiful and Impressive ceremonies of the G.A.R were conducted over the grave of the late Ez­ ekiel Pierce, of this city, the last veteran to answer tbe final roll call. The Memorial Address was delivered In tbe afternoon at tbe fair ground by Judge Clement Smith, and is pronounced as tbe finest effort of its kind ever made in this city. Considering the day a large number was present and those who bravedthe cold, uninviting weather felt more than repaid. Judge Smith referred In tender words to tbe brave boys who Impelled by a high sense of duty left dear homes and loved ones, many and many never to retarn. Thousands and thousands of them met with death in a strange country and to-day sleep In unknown graves. But their glorious achievements has given us a united country and sectional lines are fast disappearing. To keep the fires of patri­ otism burning: to testify to our apprecia­ tion of-a united country and Jibe gallant boys in blue who saved it for us it is high­ ly appropriate that Memorial Day. shall be honored every year by those who now enjoy the blessings which cost so much bloodshed and.treasure. with The address was listened .marked attention and the G.

Q Does the time you have given include the time used in building the wall, also brick work? A I did not say anitiling about tbe wall: there were one or two men working on It; I did not work there only >. lx ml two hours. 2 days work would be. a big lo: for one to build tue stone wall: one man would put that Irvin one day no doubt, two at most.

Q How many days were they actually at work from time commenced until finished? • A They worked It so funny, they would have their men at work there a tew hours and then at work on the other building, so it is impossible to tell.

GOOD ROADS NOTES are now wvwvv»vwwvwvvwvw»v»<i Lighten the Honea Labor, Save Narrow tires are a prolific source of trouble and expense in the maintenance of highways and liave been condemned by all Author!tlea-on road making. A writer in the Davenport (la.) Republican makes tome suggestions In this connection, which, while not entirely new, are worthy of con­ sideration. He says: Since the question of good roads is being considered with more Interest almost daily, 1 beg to offer a few suggestions In regard to our present country roads being kept In repair, with little expense and no attention required to speak of, after they are once properly leveled off and graded, allowing the necessary fall for good drain­ age. Would it not be feasible to urge “ the use of broad tired wtizL __ , „/ 'heelH for wagons, say 4 3 or 4 Inches wide, and. In order to secure their early’adoption, levy 'a tax on all wagons having tires less than 8 inches wide, while wagons with three Inch tires, ur even wider, should not be taxed as much, If at all? In this, as iu other clties< the use of Darrow tired wheels for heavy hauling, fjarticularly over paved streets, Is prohibi­ ted by law, and why should this law not be applicable to all wagons with narrow tires Used iu the country for the betterment and Improvement of the common dirt roads? With few exceptions the present IX Inch tire wagons are cutting our country roads Into r'uts and making them almost impass­ able. It it were trot for the ruts, dur country roads would drain off nicely and be In good condition the year round, but during the wet season, especially in the spring, after the frost leaves the ground, the ]‘a' inch tire wheels act as a plow and" find their way some 8. lo 12 inches into the •oil. : The narrow tired wheels are being used in less numt>ers every year, since the farm­ er fully realizes the fact that be must u«e broad tires In order to lighten the load for the horses, especially .over the soft mead­ ows and fields. Farmers would be only too willing to abide by the law by using broad tires, providing the law is rigidly enforced. The use of broad tired wheels would enable the farmer to haul heavier loads lo market, and where he now makes three trips to transport the produce to market only two would be necessary. This to him would be a saving of time, labor and horseflesh. It is said that the average cost of moving a ton one mile over our country roads at the present time is about 25 cents and for «e miles 81, not including the time lost the riirtnrr.—■gTWrynx for hauling Is heavier than that paid for simply keeping ordinary roads in repair. As a natural consequence, when the roads are improved, heavier loads can be hauled qud better speed secured. Why not. then, encourage the use of broad tired wheels exclusively for the Improvement of our roads? In my opinion the question of good roads cannot be passed upon more economically by our county supervisors and obtain equal results than by levying a tax on all narrow tired wagons. Have each wagon so taxed, numtiered and recorded and the revenue derived therefrom placed (or the Improve­ ment of country roads in the district where the taxpayer resides. Should an induce­ ment be offered to discard the narrow tired wagon wheels it would only be a question of time when they would be a thing of the past and the broad tired wheels would be used exclusively lusiead. * WHOLE NO. 2191 SCHOOL COMM’S. DEPARTMENT. Conducted by Mimi Flora J. Bendle County Cointnluloner. Some Suggestions. Supt. F._ R. Hathaway, of Flint, who is one of the examining board to determine an appointee to rill a position at West Point, makes the following suggestions in regard to pur public school instruction in some of our ordinary branches. Out of a total of twenty-one applicants only twelve passed the physical examina­ tion. When we consider the fact that probably only those tried who considered themselves aH right physically, this Is rath­ er startling. With reference to the papers written, SupL Hathaway says; ’‘An* examination of the papers showed that many of the young men are deficient in English work. Une had lost the appointment for do other reason. He could not use bis mother tongue accurately, but nevertheless be could give every definition and rule, in grammar. Indeed all the boys were bet­ ter posted in technical grammar than In the correct use of English. Such a condi­ tion of affairs indicates the line along which teachers VLMUMVSO should OMVUIM direct UI * CL • their SUCH energies. CUCHICO. The DBper8 |n geography showed in a marked manner a weakness In the method of teaching this subject. All the ladscould give abundant reasons for geographi­ cal conditions but they were all deficient in their knowledge of the position of places on the earth's surface. In no branch was there greater condemnation of the modern Idea that only those things which are entertaining should be taught to school children. In their efforts to make geogra­ phy entertaining the teachers of today are losing sight of the chief reason for study-* ing this branch in the common schools. In arithmetic those boys succeeded best who have been trained to think for them­ selves. The examination separated the boy who bad simply studied the book from the boy who had thought but the principles lor himself.” | Thinking that these auggrstlons might be of interest to teachers we publish the same from Supl. Hathaway’s report. K. of r. Memorial Day. Sunday June 20th. will be observed by the Knights of Pythias, of Barry Lodge, No. 18, as memorial day. They have ten urotber Knights buried in' Riverside cem­ etery. The Lodge has purchased a burial lot in the new addition. The lot Is in the form of a triangle. Supreme Chancellor Philip T. Colgrove, presented his lodge with a magnificent granite monutaent to be placed upon their lot. The tnonumenc. is in two parts, the base being inscribed Knights of Pythias, 1897, on one corner, on ll»e other the name of the donor. The upper stone is carved tn represent a tri­ angle and shield with an open Bible with a sword crossed dtagonlally upon the Bible, the letters F. C. B. and Barry Lodge Na 18. The program for the day will com­ mence at three p« m. in the lodge roouj^, T lie Knights will then march to the Opera House where an address upon “Immortal­ ity” will be given by Hon. Burritt Hamil­ ton, of Sturgis, Michigan. Mr. Hamilton is the editor of Pythian Knighthood. He Is a very prominent lawyer, an eloquent,' forcible orator. He Is held in high esteem iu the order and is chairman of the com­ mittee on legislation of the grand lodge Knights of Pythias of Michigan. After the address the lodge will inarch to the cemetery proceeded by the Hastings) Knights of Pythias band. There they will decorate the graves of the departed broth­ ers. After the ceremony they will pro­ ceed to their burial'lot, and furrn in three lines iu the form of a triangle. The cere­ monies will be the dedication of the . bur­ ial place and the monument The oration at the monument will be delivered by Sir Knight Marshall L. Cook, of this city. The members of all surrounding Lodges will be invited to attend. It will probab­ ly be the largest Pythian gathering ever held in this city. The Lodge is to be con­ gratulated upon its prosperous condition. They now have a membership of over 200, a good treasury, a fine castle hail, a large burial lot, a magnl tic lent monument, and a loyal, earnest membership, all working for the good and welfare of one another and their beloved order. IN ANNUAL SESSION. BARRY COUNTY PIONEERS MKT SATURDAY AT THE COURT ’ HOUSE. Attendance— Excellent Program, z The 96th Annual Meeting of the Old Pio­ neers of Barry Co. was held at the Court Room in the city of Hastings on Saturday the 5 Inst, the time having been changed from Sept to June. The meeting was . called to order at 10 a. m. by the Presi­ dent Hon. Daniel Striker. Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Rex*. Amoe Wake­ field, of Middleville, whose familiar face has has been missed at several of our former meetings. The President In his speech of Welcome, made some suggestions which If followed will add much to tbs interest of these meetings in the future. The Historian Hon. Clement Smith then gave short biographical sketches of those who bad died since the last meeting, the number being 53. Thia, It will be noticed shows the mortality for only the nine months since our meeting In Sept, 1896. After the report of the Historian, the old Pioneers listened to a paper prepared and read by Sherman C. Prfndle, giving a very interesting pioneer history of the township of Rutlaud. Manj' of the old Pioneers were happily surprised to meet him again, and take him by the hand, as they were wont to do, during his sixteen years ser­ vice as Probate Judge of the County. Then followed a paper prepared by the Hoh. Asa D. Rork, a former treasurer of the county, giving a continuous and more detailed history-of Rutland, full of pio­ neer Incidents, that brought back memories of the past. Mr. Rork ndt being present the paper was read by the President After the reading of the papers, short speeches of five minutes were made by the Hon. H. A. Goodyear, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Albert Warner. Mrs. Bates. Mr. Trask. Wm. Brown, Mr. Merrill and John Robertson. On motion of Chester Messer the old officers were re-elected for the ensuing year. The date fixed for the next meet­ ing was the first Saturday of June. 1898. In the p. in. we had the Pioneer history of the Township of Barry by the Vic? Pres. W. W. Hampton, giving a very full and complete history of that Township, prepar­ ed with much investigation and care, correcting several errors that had crept into the history.

It only took Canada 30 days to enact a tariff bill, but Canada has a great advan­ tage in not having any populists and free ailverites to hinder her enacting what everybody knows is a good thing tor any country—a protective tariff.

The Flow Improvement. Many persons sincerely feel, and others express more or less insincerely, disap­ pointment because the Improvement in business is expected to result from Re­ ' publican success does not come fully and at once. It la quite true that the hopes of a coming change in National policy do have some Influence. Of this there have been proofs within tbe last six months. Whoever will look back and make a re­ cord of the works that have resumed op­ erations since last October and of the number of bands added by establishments then at work with part force only, and al­ so of the number of hands whose wages have been Increased, will realize that thb expectation of wiser laws and administra­ tion has already produced an Important change for the better. But It would be foolishness to expect.tba't, the hopeful an­ ticipations alone could bring about any­ thing like the entire change expected and desired. There are about 5,000,000 workers who are directly affected by the defence which tbe tariff gives to manufacturing and mining industries. Besides these, all tbe formers eo located that part of the mark­ ets for certain of their products have been Invaded by importations along tbe Cana­ dian border, along the Atlantic coast and on tbe southern border and tbe Pacific Coast, including about one million wool growers, constitute another large body af­ fected by protective duties.' National prosperity depends in a large degree upon what demand these classes may find for foe products of their labor and upon what they may be able to purchase of the pro­ font* of others. It h essential to observe hat it is not tbe expectation of having mere money to expend, but the actual hav- veal, heavy speculative purchases may be Cigar stored a« long and with as Dtne itek as wool, a$d there are no others in wh|ch the demand baa been Id like measure affected. When the millions of producers hnd that they are actually able to buy more freely, u they did in 18W, their buying will begin to empty retail shelves, to de­ plete wholesale stock, lu prompt more or­ ders to factories and mills of al! kinds. There has been some improvement of that nature already, because multitudes 'who were Idle have found work, and other? have begun to receive better wages and tbe gain has been enough to start a good many more mills. But nothing like lhe full effect of a change ot National policy can be realized before the excessive foreign competition has been materially reduced by a chaoge^f law.

Here is another matter connected with tbe same subject to wbleh attention should be called, viz: the whole­ sale destruction of tbe birds themselves. This spring I have noticed numbers of de id birds lying by tbe roadside (or within sight from a vehicle) on eVery road leading Into the city, and not one of those birds was an English sparrow. If any sparrows were killed they were gathered up to buy more ammunition-40 kUI more birds. A few individuals have started a new industry in Hastings, the renting of guns. This in­ creases tbeir sate of ammunition as well as revenue from tbe use of infernal nuisances, tor they are a nuisance to farmers, especial­ ly when in tbe hands of boys and loafer*. Not two weeks ago while standing on Main SL we saw two boys who looked to be not over ten or twelve years of age com­ ing from the direction of one of these establishments where guns are rented. Each boy bad a gun and they were evident­ ly going out to try and kill anything they might see moving. . It seems that it takes a very small sum to buy a supply of loaded cartridges, as they are sold at two cents apiece and a small additional sum pays the rent of a gun. It also looks as though any one who has the needful amount can get iheui. Tbe result Is that boys and idle fellows galore are tramping around and killing birds until today one must get a mile ur more outside tbe city limits before a blid of any kind Is seen except tbe pestlverous sparrows. If something could be done to suppress or stringently regulate the rent­ ing of guns. It would gw'far toward pre­ serving what few birds are left. With the extinction of the birds Insect pest* multiply and I would like to see the owners of farm lands and woods combine and arrest and prosecute every trespasser carrying a gon on their premises.

During the past two or three ydars there has been considerable trouble in this state caused by rye getting mixed with tbe wheat. A large quantity of wheat that would otherwise be of fine quality is utter­ ly ruined for milling purposes by the rye that is mixed through the grain, and many a dollar Is lost to farmers that might eas­ ily and readily be saved by the exercise of a little care during toe next thirty diys to pull the clusters of rye out of lhe wheat fields. Michigan millers require tbe best grade of perfectly clean wheat in order to produce flour of as fine . quality as they have for the past ten years or more. Michigan first grade flours are justly celebrated in toe moat discriminating markets lx>th at home and in foreign Middleville. countries.

Turkey seems to be aching for a good, sound thrashing. No country needs one worse. Congress meets twice every week to be entertained by Speaker iteed and Jerry Simpson. Jerry Simpson declares that he is not a finished orator. Can it be that he didn’t know it a long time ago? The U. S. Senate is getting down to work. The prospects are that a tariff bill will be passed about July 1st. Mexico will be about the only sliver country the siiverileH can point to in 1900. Japan and Peru are the latest countries to leave the nilver oasis. Providence seems to favor our states* men. They can get pointers on how to run the government twat from most any Commencement oration this month. In a recent Interview Kx Gov. P. Elowri. of New York, stated thought b«u times were over and era of prosperity was about to be in. , Roswell that he that an ushered Beet sugar culture is worthy of tbe best attention oi our people and our legislature, provided it Is of any advant­ age to us to save paying 8100,000,000 every year to other countries for sugar. “The lesson ot the hour then, is this— that whatever adverse condition may temporarily impede tbe pathway of our national progress, nothing can perma­ nently defeat It”— Fresident McKinley at Nashville, Tenn. The Sound Money Democrats have established headquarters in New Yoik City and propose to oppose any and all schemes for the free and unlimited coin­ age of silver. This certainly doesn’t look very much like a “united democracy.” The greatest Industry that we can en­ courage Is our merchant marine and save paying foreigners 81,000,000 every day for carrying our goods in foreign made ships, owned by foreigners, and manned by foreign crews. Tbe people want a tariff bill passed, Dot one for revenue only, but one that will encourage new Industries and sus­ tain tbe ones we have and at tbe same time guarantee sufficient revenue to meet all of our obligations. It is said that the number of Americans in Cuba who are suffering by starvation on account of tbe inhuman methods of Butcher Weyler Is 1200 Instead of 500. Weyler is a brute but he is doing more to free Cuba than all other influences combined. The extremely heavy imports at tbe present time, occasioned by tbe proposed tariff, will cause imports to be lighter later on. This of course will mean lower revenues under the new tariff bill for a while, but they will gradually Increase as foreign goods are consumed. In Erance the people have a way of expressing thelt hatred for a President by throwing dynamite bonds at him, an attempt being made to kill President Faure only last week in that way. It would be dangerous for democratic presi­ dents in this country, if the people should take this method of getting rid of unpop­ ular rulers. During the past decade a great amount of northern capital has been invested In Southern states. Great manufacturing enterprises have grown np as a result, and with them has grown a sentiment for protection to American Industries that even party lines cannot break down. This was proven when tbe Dingley bill was before the Hoose and 82 democratic congressmen from the south voted for it and five populists from that section refased to vote against it. Hawaii Is destined to soon become a part of the United States through annexa­ tion of tbe Island. A treaty for tbe an■esatioo of tbe island baa been drafted and will soon doubtless be acted upon. The action of this country waa hastened by tbe attkiude ot Japan, which country •vMentiy had It in mind to soon gobble np the Island. Hawaii, aside from being a point in mm of war.

In tbe town of Gischiga, in Siberia, the provincial governor, Sosnin, has for some time past been quite mad, and han been discharging his administrative du­ ties in amost extraordinary way. Tbe orders which he gave the soldiers aud civil officials were always unreasonable, and frequently exceeded the bounds-of possibility. One of bis favorite amuse­ ments, for instance, was to order |he ar­ rest of a number of respectable towns­ men, load them with chains and send them to prison for an indefinite period At other times he would approach the sentinels stationed by the powder mag­ azine and order them to leave their posts. If they followed his directions they were severely punished for desert­ ing their posts; if not, they were still more severely punished for disobeying their superior officer’s command. An­ other pastime of the governor was to threaten to hang his junior officers, and one who resists an attempt to arrest him for this purpose was degraded from his rank. . Repeated repreoentattiona were mode to the authorities at St. Petersburg, but It wus only recently. After this state of affairs had lasted for IS months, tlin.t the lunatic governor was removed from his post and conveyed to an asylum. Debts Delayed Ilia Burial. The case of a burial long delayed has recently come to light at Revel, a Rus­ sian town near the Gulf of Finland. The body thus tardily in/terred was that of a Belgian eoldier of fortune, the Due Chan-lea de Croy, who had been com­ mander in chief of the Russian army at the historic battle ot Narva in 1700. Made a prisoner during the fight, De Croy took up hia residence at Revel, where he died in tbe course of events: hia creditors demurred to his burial however, until hi* debts were paid.’ So the soldier mummified and his- re­ mains have stayed ever since in a church, where tbejr have been exhibited to vl^ Hors as a curiosity.

The Enormous Output of Tooth* ■alB« Lead* All Other States ta the Nobody knows bow many billion* of wooden toothpicks are made and used in this country every year. The aggre­ gate is so enormous as to be practical!y incalculable. And to the total of the domestic product must be added the imported toothpicks. , While the output of thia industry is so vast, American ingenuity has in­ vented automatic ibachinery until it re­ quires the employment of comparative­ ly few persons. Ninety-five per cent, of all the toothpicks manufactured in the United States are made from white birch timber in Franklin county, Me., and yet scarcely more than a hundred persons are employed in the industry in that state. Outside of the state of Maine, the principal factories are in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and west­ ern. New York. Some maple and poplar are used in the manufacture of Ameri­ can toothpicks, but white birch is the standard timber in al! the factories. The industry is a very simple one. First, of course, comes the work of tlm foresters, or lumbermen. In the forests of Maine every winter there arc great camps of lumbermen engaged in felling and hauling out timber for various com­ mercial uses. Whenever tbe foreman of a camp comes across a particularly fine white birch tree be orders it cut down, and the main part pf the trunk laid aside to be reserved for the toothpick factories. When enough logs have been obtained, they are sent along down to the boom nearest the factory, whence they are hauled by teams. To show that the vast supply of toothpicks comes from a very small proportionate quantity of timber, it may be said that not more than 5,000 cords of wood are used in this industry annually. When the logs reach tbe factory they arc first stripped of their bark. The logs are then placed on the trucks, mov­ ing on rails, and pushed up to the au­ tomatic machines by which they are . _,rf ,. ■» '“to.™n"rS- ' "'S? “ . *pp,le<! to this,industry, ane thin .trip, ot vrxxl of about toe d.menmon, of an orimary puiee of blottmg fa^tho sfr.p. are about as is, tbe strips ns thick as tto. the — and as toothpicks are intended to v be w ide as the pickswill be long. Extreme care must be exercised in placing the logs in tbe machine so as to have the grain run straight in the strips. The veneers-are fed into a machine com­ posed of peculiarly shaped and rapidly revolving knives, the edges Of which ari­ as sharp as they can be made. T|iis ma­ chine works automatically and with tremendous speed, and is so construct­ ed that the finished picks come forth, sharpened at both ends, at the rate of Gcttiar Whipped CoL Francis V.

Aa re­ tired, who was sent by this government to Russia- during the last Turkish war to represent the war department at Washington- lately told of his observa­ tions of tbe Turkish army while in bat­ tle. “The Turks are individually good fighters,” said Col. Greene. They are fine soldiers, very obedient, fanatic in their religion and fatalists. The Turks fights up to a certain point and when he thinks matters are going ngainst him, he will run. Not lor any lack of courage, but because he thinks fate is against him. The Turkish sol­ diers arc well armed. During the RussoTurkish war, the Turks were better armed than the Russians.

"PUZZLE \ CAN interest in (he Republic - of - Mexico. p<ir descriptive matter address T.'R. R YAN, General Agent, Main Street, Lmuetlle.K,. Bet Ba The silver production in the United States in 1895 was 55,800,000 ounces. I^at year it was 57,700,000 ounces, or a gain of three per cent. That was not doing so badly for dull times. Al­ though the free coinage of silver is not permitted, the production of silver in­ creases, because there is money in the business. | The gold value of the 57,700,000 ounces mined in this country last year was about $39,000,000. On the basis of the price of 1873, when silver was 129 cents an ounce, the year’s product would have been worth $74,000,000. And yet, in spite of the decline in price, the miners made money. If their busi­ ness were unprofitable they would abandon it. For, while the, average price of sil­ ver during the year was only between 67 and 69 cents, it cost the miners only about half ns much to put an ounce of silver on the market now as it did a quarter of-a century ago. Machinery is cheaper and better. Wages are lower, for the living expenses of miners have been reduced so much. The cost of transportation is fout a trifle compared with what it was. The steam car fias token the place of the wagon. So the owners of mines where the ore contains a fair amount of silver have nothing to complain of. The owners of the lean mines, which cannot be worked nt a profit now, but which could be if silver were worth 129 cents an ounce, are the men who do the most grum­ bling. But they have companions in misery. The owners of poor Coal mines and poor deposit® of iron ore, which cannot be worked at a profit because of the competition of richer mines, would like to see a sharp advance in the price of coal aud iron ore. But they do not clamor for the free coinage of coal and iron. z Whether the silver yield of 1807 will be equal to that of 1896 is an open ques­ tion. Since the beginning of the year the price of silver has been falling, and it is down how to 60 cents an ounce. That is the lowest price it has ever touched except during the momentary shaqj fall after the closing of the India mints. If silver continues to fall the production may be checked, unless that decline in price is offset by reduced cost of production. . That process is going on slowly but continuously. The methods of treat­ ing the ores are being cheapened and improved on, and railroad charges, which play so much more important a part in silver mining than in gold min­ ing, are dropping gradual?. So it would not be at all strange if more sil- i ver were to be mined this year than last, in spite of the lower prices. Tbe output of last year was nearly equal to that ot 1891, though the price then was over 98 cents an ounce. While the silver product increased three per cent., the gold product in­ creased 12 per cent. The value of the gold mined in the United States last year was $53,000,000, while in 1895 it was $46,750,000. In 1890 it was $33,000,­ 000. The gain would have been still great­ er but for the strikes which closed some of the Colorado mines. Utah produced $620,000 more gold than in 1895, and Arizona $600,000 more, and yet both of them are shrieking for free silver. But they are not shrieking quite as loudly as they were, and when the price of silver falls still more, as it will, the absurdity ,of contending that any. • artificial device can make it worth 129 cents an ounce will be too palpable. The men who want-a cheap currency to cheat creditors with will keep up their clamor, but the silver minerswill have to admit that silver is down for good, as the result of cheapened production. —Chicago Tribune. .

Punctures iu the well known Mor-, gan & Wright tire are mended about as easily as a man would close a hole in his finger with a bit of court plas­ ter. Inside of the inner tube of the tire lies a long strip of patching rub­ ber, like this: By injecting M. & W. quick-repair cement through the puncture into this inner tube, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, like this, the repair strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, like this: THE TREATY SIGNED.

For Jhe United States there were Secretary Sherman, Assistant Secre­ taries Day, Adee and Cridler, Private Secretary Babcock and Assistant Pri­ vate Secretary Gaytree. Un the Ha­ waiian side were Minister Hatch, Lorrin A. Thurston and W. A. Kinney, all for this particular occasion accredited I as special commissioners duly empow-1 ered to negotiate a treaty of annexetion. When the treaty reached the senate an executive session was immediately held and the message of President Mc­ Kinley, accompanying the treaty, and the treaty itself were read to the sen- The message of the president was not a very long document. It dealt with historical facts concerning the island; and showed that'the United States and f Hawaii yearly grow more closely bound to each other. This was not really an­ nexation, he said, but a continuation of existing relations with closer bonds be­ tween people closely related by blood and kindred ties. Since 1820, said the Sresident, the predominance of the nited States had been known. The send­ ing of the first envoy there brought the islands in closer relations with the United States, and those relations had , grown more firm by succeeding events.,. At tl»A the t time tri-partlte noTPi a^-eement ’-rno the tri-narfitw ’monl ! u. was made for the government ofba-j inoa, he said. Great Britain and Germany wonted to include Hawaii in tho.

The annexation of the islands, said the president, and making them a part of the United States was in accordance with the es­ tablished policy of this country. Tho president caBed attention to the fact that a legitimate and existing government of Hawaii offered to annex the islands to the United States in 1851, but on account of what was deemed । best policy the annexation was not ac-! cepted by tills country. He stated that I Very simple, but — now every rider should remember these two “buts,” or he will fail: Before injecting cement, pump up the tire.

Tbe center of this tremendous fin anclal ^tburst was Barney Barnato, and he was conservatively estimated at that time as worth between £100,000,000 and £150,000,­ 000. Among his assets was a bank original­ ly capitalised at 02.500.000. In a few months its capital stock rose In value to $45,000,000. About a month ago It was rumored that bls health was suffering from the severe tension of speculation, and in tho latter part of May it waa reported from Cape­ town that he wau suffering from nervous prostration and had been placed by hie friends under restraint.

The special session will be noted in history for its manifestation of a renewal’of national spiritin tariff legisla­ tion. In the early days of the republic tariff was not a party issue, and it now looks as though henceforth the names of democrat and free trade are not to be regarded as political synonyms. The protectionist sentiment in the south has been silenced for years, but it again has found a voice and a voting power. Pro­ tection now stands in its true light, as a national, not a partisan, policy. This of itself is a most auspicious commence­ ment of President McKinley’s admin­ istration; the unification of north and south with east and west, in a policy of protection to all American industries is a most inspiring spectacle.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

They are all natives of that section of the country. change In the sentiment of the sontb after' a few years experience with a free trade law that has practically ruined some of their best industries, and kept northern capital and enterprise out ot their country. tbe future. A patriot makes a better eitiren than a pessimist, and we bavs got to be patient, for much as we may want ^to move out of the old house, we cannot do it until tbe new one is finished. A tariff law half made is of no practical use except to indicate that in a little while a whole tar­ iff law will be done, and it is making prog­ ress. It is reaching the end, and when the end comes we will have business, con­ fidence and industrial activity, Let us keep stoat hearts and steady beads, and tbe country is not going backward, but forward. “American energy has not been destroy­ ed by the storms of the past. It will tri­ umph through wise aud benevolent legis­ lation.

They don’t mean to accept the present condition as permanent and finaj,- They will meet em­ barrassments as they have bravely met them in the past, >nd at tbe end will re­ store lhe splendid industries aud tbe magnificient labor to its prosperity, and gen­ tlemen, Philadelphia Is but the type of the American pluck aud courage everywhere throughout our great United States.” Evidences of Southern Prosperity. Senator Tillman recently tried to get up anothu eugar-trusi scandal in the Sen­ ate, and proposed an investigation. His attempt ••scare” was tbe creature of his own imagination and resulted in a dismal failure. The charges that the sugar-trust had shaped the saccharine features of the Senate bill were so unreasonable and un­ founded that tbe democrats and populists alike gave him the cold shoulder and re­ fused to even dignify tbe charges by giv­ ing them the least attention. No matter what may be tbe outcome of tbe bimetallic commission tc Europe no one can doubt President McKinley’s hon­ esty of purpose and Intention to carry out his pledge to tbe people. Tbat tbe com­ mission Is making headway is demonstrat­ ed by the fact that letters of approval have been received from Lord Balfour, first Lord of tbe Treasury; Lord Hamilton, Secy, of State for India; Sir Matthew Rid­ ley. Seehof State for Home Affairs; Mr. Alfred Rothschild and others equally prominent. The Senate of the United States Is com­ posed, when all its seats are filled, of 90 members, representing 45 States. All ■eats, except the one for which Mr. Cor­ bett of Oregon, is a claimant, are now fil­ led. It thus requires 45 votes to furnish a majority in the Senate. The recent statement by tbe Washington “Post” an­ alyzing the membership politically shows that the Republicans have but 43, tbe Democrats 34, the Populists 7, and Silver Republicans 5. This shows that the Ra- publicans have not a majority in tbe sen­ ate. and cannot hope to have one during - tbe present Congress, and also shows tbat the people who are criticising tbe leaders , of that party for what they consider slew ’ progress in tbe consideration of tbe tariff bill in tbe Senate do not take into consid­ eration tbe embarrassment under which those leaders are constantly laboring. Only six of the 28 states that Mr. Bryan visited last year were carried by him, tbe great majority of the cities visited by him giving unprecedented republican majoriitles, Tbe. “silver mine owners” have again “put up” for tbelr pet candidate, and he has again commenced to work his jaw two hours per day at 8500 per hour, telling the poor, deluded, horny-handed toiler “how the poor are growing poorer, and the rich, richer.” With last years experience before them though, it mnst gi/e democratic managers an awful pain In the region of the stomach, when they think of those unprecedented republican majorities that follow Bryan’s speeches. There are two things however that Mr. Bryan must be given credit for—first, how to keep his name before tbe people, and second “how to make hay when the san shines.’’ There is no question but what new pro­ cesses in tbe mining ot silver had much to do with reducing its price. Miners gave their attention to sliver mining because it eould be mined cheaper than gold. Of late, however, and especially since the sil­ ver question came up. more attention has been paid to gold mining aud the .results have been startling. Great gold fields have been found in our own and other countries, and in forms and places where It was never dreamed it could be found. Tbe reault has been' rich strikes in Crip­ ple Creek, Colorado; California; Alaska; Australia; South Africa and other places. From reports thus far received it is reaaooably certain tbat the gold output for 1807 wIH exceed 8250,000,000—a sum far exceeding that of any year in the history of the world, as far as known. Tbe money question will settle itself in a mighty few years at tbat rate, and the “gold ques­ tion, ” Instead of the “sliver question” will present itself to puzzle the brains of our Aoanciers. At tbe Meeting of tbe Commercial Mu­ mum In Philadelphia. June 2, President McKinley spoke ib pan as follows: “My fellow citizens, there is no motive to make a product if you can’t find souie- u TbedbUWW tbe ba moved by a dblrw i. The development of the South in com­ merce aud manufactures is strikingly il­ lustrated in the statistics covering the ex­ port trade from the principal southern ports for two rears, and the growth of the pig iron output for ten years. Tbe export figures at band show only the increase during the first ten months of the present fiscal year over the corresponding period of the previous year, and as this increase Is chiefly due to increased grain exports, a branch'of tbe export trade which is very new in the south, comparisons for a larger period would be of little Interest. On the contrary, pig Iron has been largely pro­ duced in the south for a period exceeding ten years, and comparisons covering a de­ cade are very'instructive. The south has exported cotton and to­ bacco extensively for more than a century, and Ibe exports In these articles have sim­ ply kept pace with the normal foreign de­ mand, varying little from year to year. But with the opening of trunk lines of railway from the grain-producing States of the west to Lie principal southern ports there has been an increase In grain exports which has astounded and alarmed the grain-exporting interests of New York and Boston. The exports of all kinds from the North Atlantic ports for the first ten months of 1897 were 8453,042.655 as against 8412.010,703 in 1896, a gain of 9.9 per cent. Tbe exports from all the south­ ern ports during tbe first named period were 8341.889,416 as against 8250.517,251 in 1897, a gain of 36.2 per cent The gain for all the ports during that period was 20 per cent., so it will be seen that the south secured tbe lion’s share. Turning to pig iron statistics for the years 1895 and 1896 there was a shrinkage in the output of the whole country from 9,446,308 tons In 1895 to 8,623,127 tons In 1896,. a net shrinkage of 823,181 tons. Tbe southern output, however, was 1,846,990 tons in 1896 as against 1,729,606 tons iu 1895, a gain of 117,303 tons. In other words, the total shrinkage of tbe year was at the expense of the northern states with the southern gain thrown in, making a to­ tal of 940,574 tons A comparison of the gain in production for ten years shows quite as striking results. The total pro­ ductions of pig Iron in 1880 was 5.683,320 tons, in 1896 8.623,127 tons. Tbe pro­ ductions of the southern states in 1886 was 847,048 tons,,in 1896, 1,846,999, an In­ crease ot 117 per dent, against an increase of 51 per cent, for the whole country. These figures show two things, the first of which is tbat the south is at last de­ veloping its wonderful natural resources, and tbe second is tbat no matter bow se­ vere the recent business depression may have been in other sections the south was prospering as never before. It could stand an Indefinite extension ot this kind of hard times. At tbe present state of south­ ern development there will soon be very little force In Tillman’s appeal to southern prejudice ou the score of the greater ac­ cumulated wealth ot the northern states. We suggest that Tillman read these statis­ tics and then go off by himself and try to figure out wherein the south is beiug In­ jured by the grasping propensities of tbe northern goldbugs, a great many ot whom have been Investing their money in the southern enterprises which are bringing unprecedented prosperity to that section.

Mr. Seward says that after the men became convinced that they were not going to be hurt they became very friendly, inviting him to partake of the contents of the dem ijon standing close to the men as seen in the picture. He partook because they as­ sured him that it was a sure preventative of death from being bitten with snakes.

It b indeed fitting tbat such should be. Cqllege has meant much to Us. It has broadened onr horizon of thought and given us the universal tor the restricted. It has brought us together from all the corners ol* our land and other lands to make us each to each, helping inspiring friends. So 1 say that it would bestrauge Indeed. If as we see these ties about to be broken and one members soon to be again scattered, we did not feel a longing to live these days again In thought, if not in reality. “Still it is tbe future which must show whether we have really learned to love our Alma Mater, whether we are In truth, grateful for tbe benefits she has conferred upon us. We may today sing her praises, our voices choked with emotion, but if our lives after we leave her hails shall give no sign tliat we think of her, we shall lay our professions open to the charge of insincer­ ity.” f He then urged his classmates not to lose their interest tn their Alma Mater but to keep in close touch with her always. He advised joining the Alumui association, subscribing to the various college journals and urged the establishing of scholarship funds in tbe various high Schools ou tbe university approval. Tne entire address was filled with good sense. He closed as follows: “And I hope that when In after years we shall look back to these ever dearer scenes, each one of us may have the proud know­ ledge that besides having been the good and useful citizen which college men and women above all should be, we can look at ourAlma Mater in the honor and prosper­ ity which shall still be hers, and, pointing to some one of her resources or emolu­ ments. be it large or small, each one may say *1 bought that to her iu gratitude fair what she did forme.’” Some may wonder who they are and what they are, in discussing the photos ofc tbe two men shown above. We assure onr readers we don’t know. We never saw anybody tbat looked just like them before. We are informed that just after the war closed and while a circus was coming to this city by wagon at night a couple of cages were tipped over and smashed. In one cage was the “Hindoo Snake Charmer,” a man about 40 years old. and several large snakes; in.the other was the Wild Mau from Bomeo>and bls i 20 year old son. The father was captured, but the sop, the Hindoo, and the snakes escaped. Can it be that they are passing tbe closing years of eventful lives In peace and quiet on Snake Island? If so, let them enjoy It as best they can.

Entertain tho Larffe Crowd. Hastings awoke from her several years ^slumberjhls year and resolved to cele­ brate the 4th of July on July 3rd. Largely through the efforts of P. A. Sheldon and S. Greusei the remembrance of glorious Independence day was again impressed upon the minds of our citizens. The day dawned bright and clear, but long before the first streak of light was to be seen in the east some miscreant turned in an alarm of fire from the 3rd ward. Following the nerve-shocking screams uf the fire whistle was a perfect cannonade of giant fire crackers, and Jo make sure that no one would get any rest from that time on. :har«e after charge of dynamite was fired. . 1’he first event of much importance was ushered in by an imitation of a bold western stage robbery. It was truly re­ alistic. but w(MiId have, been more thrill­ ing had the revolvers in the hands or the desperados discharged when they snapped. The stage robbery was but an* Intro­ duction of tBr procession. We regret that many more of the merchants did not sinter into the spirit or thc matter and make of th- parade something of a dis­ play of their goods and wares. The procession and a large multitude of people went to the park where Fr. Kvn .uedy offered tyraver; F. W. Walker read the Declaration of independence and Hon. I’. T* Colgrove delivered the oration which was highly spoken of. There was qonsiiterabie delay in the bal­ loon ascension which did not take place till about one o’clock in the after­ noon, the ascension and drop being very successful. In the afternoon the sports and amuse­ ments commenced in earnest, the events taking place on Main street.

Edhem Tasha understands war thor­ oughly, but it took him a little time to appreciate the functions of a war cor­ respondent. He seemed to think that the latter should be hedged about by many restrictions, tenderly fostered' and safely deposited during a battle among the baggage animals' and the knights of the .hospital. It was some time before he realized that the ex­ pectation of witnessing und describing a battle was t|ie one thing which pro­ cured him the honor of these gentle­ men’s company in his camp. One anx­ ious morning, nt a time when war was thought to be ilnminent, on sending round to headquarters it appeared that the general and all his staff had flitted during the night and had gone no nym. would say whither. No orders had been left and the guardfwvould allow no one to pass. Here was a case of dire disap­ pointment, but no man may run the gauntlet of an Albanian guard with impunity. When the general returned a joint representation was made and he was entreated not to allow this kind of thing to occur again. He expressed his penitence and promised a timely warning of any unexpected move. It may be interesting to mention that Edhem Pasha, the central figure of this little world, is about 45 years of age, though he looks older. He is rather above middle height and wears a short, thick, black beard, already flecked with gray. Bis nose is straight and rather long, but his most interesting feature is his gray eyes, which are large and intelligent. His manner is very at­ tractive—n mixture of that courtesy and dignity which are not uncommon among Turkish officers. He- does not strike one as a strong man physically, though I nm told he is n hard worker and does not spare him­ self. His manner of talking is as a rule quiet and marked by much refinement and gravity; but it grows animated when a subject kindles his interest, and his eyes glow with enthusiasm. It is difficult to judge of n man’s sens? of humor through the barriers of a ! stra»ge language. Bis style of life is simple and he has none of t he oriental 1 love of display. Tn character he seems to be straightforward and sincere, frank and truth-loving. Trickery and intrigue, diplomacy and politics he alike detests. His subordinates and those who see him more intimately are very fond of him. “He treats us.” one of the aids-decamp said to me. “not as a superior, but as a father.”—London Telegraph.

Nowadays, however, they have become of most vital importance; they are, so to speak, “household pets.” It seems'that “tem­ per” has gone out of fashion; so far, nt least, as we are concerned, and, though it is possible to admit that our neigh­ bors may suffer f rom attacks of temper, we never do—no. we have “nerves.” There is a sort of necessary dignity about the possession of nerves, though we own they cause us trouble. We speak in quite a reproachful way of “a woman who has no nerves,” just as if this meant the same as that she is with­ out refinement and tenderness. Nerves are, however, dangerous pets, for they are apt to become our masters. Indeed, to nerves are ascribed the un­ wholesome craving for excitement, the morphia habit and the excessive use of stimulants among women, as well as a variety of other evils. Nerves, no doubt, would be kept in check better if only we were simpler. Japanese wom­ en are charmingly serene and good tempered, and their freedom from nerv­ ous troubles may be largely ascribed to the absence of small worries in mat­ ters domestic. They are saved worries about dress, for the fashion of their costume never varies, and the absence of draperies and crowds of ornaments economizes money and greatly saves labor, as any housekeeper could tell who knows thc fret and irritation of keeping these things pretty and free from dust in an “under servanted” es­ tablishment—Boston Budget.

Grosvenor appeal? for an indorsement of the people at thc polls, and the holding up of the party’s hand pending a fair trial of thc meas­ ures the party is making itself responsi­ ble for. This puts the issue fairly and squarely before tbe country. The question is not as to whether the party in power is a miracle worker. No responsible claim to that potver was ever .advanced. But this is the question: Can the party in jjower be trusted to keep faith with the people? Gen. Grosvenor replies in the affirmative, and cites the SL Lquis plat­ form and the party’s performances since the 4th of March as proof of his assertion. The party is fulfilling its promises, and the results, be predicts, will fully meet the general expectation. I This, then. Is lhe point. The people in November voted the republican party into power to do certain things, and in the belief that prosperity would grow out of those things. The party is as diligently as possible obeying Its in­ structions. Ought not it therefore to be sustained ot least until the fruits of its labors shall have hat! time to ripen? If the party’s policies will not work, the party cannot hope to keep its place. But they ought not to be repudiated at the polls until they have had a fair trial.— Washington Star. crThe election which took place In Maine to fill the seat of the late Rep­ resentative Milliken indicates that the wave of free silver populism which we hare been warned1 will sweep the coun­ try in 1900 has not yet begun its move­ ment in that state, Ex-Gov.

Indeed, an expert brewer of reputation can com­ mand any umeuntbf money in the way of salary. Many of them, to my own knowledge, get from $10,000 lo $12,000 per year, and tQieir employers would rather double their salaries than lose their services. “The brewers of whom I sipenk are ns a. rule, highly-educated chemists as well a» brewers. While they give but little attention to tbe various details of their work, they have, general su­ pervision of each brew that, is made in their establishments. They pass upon the malt, the bops and all the other ingredients before any of them can be used, o« also upon the water. A brewing »a very expensive undertak­ ing, for- the reputation of the brews of bfc^rs depends upon the formula ivhic’i they use. sis well ars their profit. I have known of chief brewers costing their cmployerfs. §20,(Xm) to $30,000 per year by the iniscaieulatioi'a they iniid’O, for the brew when completed was nortup to the standard and bad to be disposed Ot ut greatly reduced prices, bearing no label, so that the brewery could not be held, responsible for its shortcoming. The slightest error turns the whole brew, often running into the hundreds of thousands of gallons, into a failure. In cases where this occurs the beev-ds' worked off into ccunrtry glaccs and sold i in irregu&r ways, while only the stand­ ard beer is sold to the city trade. “Wine makers also draw fabulous (salaries. It- is no unusual thing for a good twine maker to get from, $5,000 to $10,000 per year. I know of a dozen California vineyards Svbo pay their principal wine maker® $5,000 a year. Of course, there is only one of these high-priced men about the place. Wine making is attended by mtoy difficulties. The grape has to be cut at a certain time, tn be packed away in a certain way, and. treated in. cnly one way. The thermometer, lhe barometer and any number of other ometers have ‘to be constantly and very carefully studied. Then, the moon is supposed) tn play an important jKirt. Of course, every wine maker can moke claret, but there is but little market for all tbe clnret that is made. A.11 the failures in making otlicr wines can be turned into clarets, and it is for this reason Hurt claret always sells for less than any other wine. A wine maker may start out- to make a sparkling light wine or a champagne. He has there­ fore, to produce a wine wjthDut color. Sboukl he. fail in getting a colorless wine he can tupi the whole thing into claret, amd thus save himself from, a total Iobs. The same way the varkms failures tn obtain sherries, port and other wines, where color is not an Ob­ jection, can be turned into clarets if all other brands do not come up to tlie de­ sired result. In the Ohio valley, as well ab in California, some excellent wines are now being made. The attempts to make champagnes, however, are nut os numerous as tihey were. The high sal­ aried wine makers are usually brought over from the famous vineyards of France, and are always employed for a- season. “The beer brewers are employed by the year, for beer making enn be con­ ducted successfully >eigh.t months in each year. With the wine maker he has but. two mouths in a year tb.make his success or failure.” — Washi^tun Star. ' PASSING OF FAST DAY. WEAK, NERVOUS, DISEASED M - 250,000 CURED IN 20 YEARS.

A very significant indication of the trend of popular feeling in re­ gard to the annual fast day observance was dhown- in tha determined action of President Tucker, of Dartmouth col­ lege, in announcing that the college rou­ tine would take its usual course on Thursday, the day appointed for fast day, under protest, by the governor of New Unjnjishire. President Tucker says he abominates a religious farce nnd that he agrees with Gov. Ilamsdell that fast days should.be nbob; isbed. Fast day is a remnant of the other­ wise extinct supremacy of church over state in things which do not properly belong under the former’s charge. With­ in tlie. last generation immense changes lave come over the religious commun­ ity in-the eastern states by the growth of the Episcopalian element- the great influx of Catholics and the liberalizing of all Protestant denominations, not excepting the Trinitarian congrega­ tional body, which in many respects, especially as to form of worship, ap­ proximates wonderfully close to the preMtical body which i| was at one time its cardinal article of faith to ab­ hor. Fast days would have been abolished veoTfl ago had men. dared to act up to their conviction*. But too many of us are apt to be guided in our pub­ lic acts by what we believe are other men’s convictions, perhaps because of the fact that other men are in the mar jority and their convictions must, there­ fore,’ be respected out of policy, if for no higher consideration. But the time is now at hand when the example of Massachusetts will be followed and when fast days, haying long been but a Using corpse, will be buried out of sight iu every part of New England.—Boston Transcript.

A good tar­ iff bill and tbe restoration of our recipro­ city treatise, will give us not only our own markets but the markets of many other countries to dispose of our surplus pro­ ducts. I ▲bout the cheekiest thing that ever was known in National affairs is the persist* ency which some foreign nations manifest in our business by filing "protests”against our new tariff law. Germany for instance has the benefits of qur markets to the ex-., elusion of Americans In some Instances, yet she prohibits tbe Importation of our -meat and meat products into her domains, and is advocating a prohibitory tariff on American bicycles to shut us out of her country. And Germany Is but one in­ stance of several that might be mentioned. No administration ever accomplished so much in such a short time as the present one. Already tbe good effects of what has been done and the anticipation of what will be done, is very noticeable.

Tboeo very Inienlou;, long hatred ,tattaticiaus, who last year In very compre­ hensive and exhaustive tables, proved by figures “beyond a doubt” that since tbe “Crime of 73" the price of silver and wheat bad kept pace, would have had great difficulty bad they waited until this year. Since last fall silver and wheat have utterly ignored tbe path marked out for them by the sllverites. Wheat has eostinned to go up and silver has continu­ ed to go down. Tbe sliver party will never have such favorable conditions for the success of their pet scheme as last It has been thought many times that the tariff question was so firmly settled as a good business policy for this country, that it would never again become a party ques­ tion. in other words tbe question of tar­ iff, having been proven by experience to be beneficial to this country, it was to be taken out of politics. There is now great- membered, reduced the rates of duty, on coal 85 cents per ton, it having been 75 cents per ton under the McKinley law and reduced to 40 cents per ton under tbe Wil­ son law. Curiously, President Ratcbford, of the United Mine Workers’ Association, states that Lhe .wages of miners hate been reduced about 35 cents per ton since 1898, the very year in which the free-trade con­ gress met and began framing the Wilson act. which reduced duties 85 cents per ton. Tbe moment tbe Wilsou law passed, coal from tbe Nova Scotia mines began invad­ ing the markets on tbe Atlantic coast, es­ pecially New England, and drove out of those markets the West Virginia coal, which had always found an outlet at fair prices. This West Virginia coal was thus compelled to seek a market In the west In competlou with tbe coals of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky. Tbe result was a sharp competition, a fall In prices, a ruinous rate war, not only between mine owners, but also between the railroads, and as a consequence a reduction in the wages of miners. Thus the very low wages of the coal miners of tbe country who are now striklng'fbr an advance are directly and logically traceable to tbe op­ erations of tbe Wilson law. The pending bill restores McKinley rates on coal and after It gets Into operation will, It is hoped, result in improved conditions and wages for miner? as well as others. THE BOUNTY ON BEET SUGAR. The republicans were compelled to abandon tbe beet-sugar proposition be­ cause of democratic opposition. The amendment proposed to pay a bounty of a quarter of a cent a pound during a five years’ period from, the passage of the bill. This, it was felt, would insure tbe estab­ lishment of tbe beet-sugar Industry In the United States. It Is by thia process that European countries have not only en­ couraged the production of beet sugar, but actually established a system whleb sup­ plied more than half tbe sugar ot the world by a process a generation ago un­ known. It was felt that this slight en­ couragement in this country similar to that utilized in other countries might en­ able the farmers of lhe United States to produce tbe hundred mllliou dollars’ worth of sugar for which we are now sending our money abroad. But the democrats op­ posed the proposition, as they do every­ thing which emanates from the republi­ cans, would delay tbe bill by a long and in­ definite discussion, making It probable that months would elapse before a vote could be bad If tbe bounty proposition were pressed by tbe repubileans. Tbe result was that tbe republicans were compelled to either abandon tbe proposition tempo­ rarily or keep Uw country in suspense with reference tn tbe tariff bill for monfibs. They therefore determined lo withdraw to lhe arts to hUIng in line uxi joun* « xHti* meMore in the hope ot lU>I a rote upon 11 it wxt reaaton. •s4 for Blmllar reasons.

Tool* Found in Pompeii Facainrllea Prof. Goodman says the thing that most impressed him, when visiting Pompeii, was the resemblance between many of the implement* of 1800 years *gx> and those of to-day. On looking at the iron tools grouped together in an old factory there he could almost imag­ ine he gazing into a modern tool kbop, except for the fact that there was a heavy coating of rust on the iron, say a Glass and Pottery Magazine. Sickles, billbooks, rakes, forks, axes, spades, blacksmith's tongs, hammers, soldering irons, planes, shovels, e4c., are much like those used to-day, but tbe moat marvelous instrument^ found are thoae for surgery, beautifully executed and of design exactly similar to some recently patented and reinvented. In­ credible as it may appear, Pompeiians bad wire ropes of perfect construc­ tion. Tbeir bronzes reveal great skill and artistic talent The bronze brazier and kitchener bad boilers at the aide and taps for running off the water. Ewrrs and urns have been discovered with interior tubes and furnaces pre­ cisely like tbe arrangement now * in vogee in »t«im boilers. Metal safes had iubstautial locks. Many of the locks and keys are most ingenious and some very complex. The water supplv of Pompeii was distributed bv means of lead pipes laid under the streets.

Onenightayoungman in Divinity hall at Yale undertook with a toy rifle to hit a lamp. But his aim was poon and the ball passed through tbe window of an eminent and venerable professor of science and embedded itself in the wall. This was the opportunity for the pro­ fessor and for science, says the Hartford Courant. He set to work and computed tbe curve, and with theexactskill of in­ fallible figures he traced the bell right back to the room of an innocent col­ league who didn’t even know the rifle had been fired. The unfledged minister flatly denied all knowledge of tbe affair. But men, even ministers, have been known to make denials in ■elf-deffense, and the professor had the proof with him. There was the bullet, there were the marks of its course, and there was the computation worked out. It looked as if a pulpit career was to be nipped in the bud. But the guilty rtodeat heard what WM going on. He culled on the prof«a°r, confessed the offense, pointed out that the man of science wus 200 feet out in his computation, and advised that the matter be dropped right where it was. And that was done. HASTINGS MARrCETS.

C. Henderson, of Allegan, one ot tbe oldest, if not tbe oldest newspaper man in Michigan, has sold tbe Allegan Journal to Edwy C.

Mr. Henderson has been a very prominent man in bls time, having worked on tbe New York Tribune under its famous editor, Horace Greeley. Tbe “calamity howlers" had an Ideal year last year to work their jaws. We had bad three years of tariff reform and consequently all Industry was stopped, and tbe rewards ot agriculture was in keeping with profits in nearly every other line of business. It will probably be sev­ eral years before another such propitious season will be open for them, but when It comes tbe people can depend npon It that acme “Will *o the Wisp" issue will be truafj^d up to mislead them. In the new tariff bill a clause was in­ serted by the republicans, levying a tax of two cents a share on all .purchases of stock of a par v^lueof 8100 or less, and also a stamp tax upon all stocks Issued, except the stock uf Building and Loan As­ sociations, and organizations of that kind. This may seem insignificant but It will make the stock Exchanges of tbe great cities of this country pay from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 every year to support the government. This tax will be both popu­ lar and profitable for Uncle Sam. “We are able to announce that EngStod’j reply to the United States mone­ tary commission will be that tbe govern­ ment to willing to reopen Indra's mints and make a further substantial contribu­ tion to the rehabilitation of silver by ex­ tending its use in England, by Increasing the legal tender of silver, making silver the basis of notes, empowering the Bank << England to use its silver reserve, and that material assistance and strong moral support will be given to tbe object which the United States and France have In view.”—From London, National Review July. 1897. ----------------------------Prior to the enactment of the Wilson law, toe eastern cities and manufacturing establishments were supplied with coal largely from tbe Virginia and West Vir­ ginia mines. When the Wilson law was erected, however, coal from Nova Scotia invaded tbe eastern market, driving out tbe Virginia and West Virginia product, and compelled the mines of that section to fled a market elsewhere. Tbe result was that tbe>r coal went west instead of east as It formerly had done, and with reduced railroad rates was laid down In the martais of Cincinnati, Chicago, and other western elites at such low rates that a coal war, followed by a railroad rate war, was precipitated. Tbe natural result of this and the reductions In prices which foltowed. was a reduction tn the wages of coal mineis. all of which to thus dearly traceable to the Wilson law and Its reduc­ tfan In duties on eoal.

In the tar­ iff bill tbe republicans attempted to en­ courage the building up of tbe beet sugar Industry by giving a bounty of a quarter of a cent a pound, for the period of five years, on beet sugar produced in tbe United States. This featnre of the bill was popular and would have passed but for Senator Jones, who announced that such a proposition would be met with a prolonged and indefinite discussion. The republicans appreciating that they were In a minority In tbe senate, and* thinking that any prolonged discussion might, in the end, knock out the Dingley bill, did not give the encouragement-to tbe beet sugar Industry that they felt inclined to give. The Sugar Trust Is one of the most powerful organizations in tbe country and entirely unscrupulous, io Its political methods at least Senator Jones is one of the men who framed tbe present low-tar­ iff law that makes tbe Trust so powerful. Bis opposition to the beet sugar industry has probably killed it, for a time at least, and given tbe Trust more power. The Dingley Bill. Church and Society.

The now tariff bill passed the final vote in tbe House, Tuesday, the vote standing 189 for and 115 against it. It has gone to tbe Senate and undoubtedly will soon be tbe law of the land. Chairman Dingley calculates that the new law will raise 8225,000,000 next year, or 875,000,000 more than tbe present law. Over 840,000,000 has been lost to this country this year by, the great importations of wool, sugar etc. Mr. Dingley says that tbe new tariff will cot only meet the nec­ essary expenses of tbe government but It will also allow a republican administration to again begin to pay off tbp national debt, which has been greatly Increased during the past four years. "* The people of this country, if the Ding­ ley bill becomes a law, as it undoubtedly soon will, can have an excellent opportu­ nity to compare tbe conditions of this coun­ try under four years of free trade and four years of protection. We have no fear of the result of such a comparison. They have been compared before.

Lena Griswold, of Middleville, called on Irving friends last week. Schuyler Kollar, of North Irving, met with quite a serious accident last Satur­ day. He was driving dowu a steep hill near his home when some part of the harness broke which frightened the horsee. He was thrown from the buggy borsef. and bruised up in quite bad shape. A Dr. was called and found that some ribs were broken. The buggy was badly smashed. The Saad-Ladened Mlasoart. Mr. Frank H. Spearman writes in SL Nicholas of the freaks of the Missouri river, hta article being entitled "A Shift­ ing Boundary.” Mr. Spearman says: You must know that the real business of the Missouri is to carry the moun­ tain waters east and south into the Gulf of Mexico. But in bounding from side to side of its valley through the tedious centuries, it has twisted and turned so many times that no doubt its bead is confused. Carrying tho quan­ tity of mud it does, you would hardly expect it to be clear-headed. There ta actually so much sand in the water that the fish all have sore eyes; some axe totally blind—the saddest-looking crea­ tures you ever caught. A really fastidi­ ous trout or bass dropped into the Mis­ souri would hang himself in despairon a fishhook. Rpidera are not generally popular crea»urea with either sex. Yet a lady writer afflrmn that they can be.made the “deareet Uttle pete In the world.” She tells how she collected a common gar­ den spider and kept the aweet lady under a glaaa tumbler lor three weeks. She watched her "building herhouaeot snowy silk” and raising a tamllyTXd says tbe writer, "she aoon learned to take flies from my band and drink water from a leaf which I gave her freahevery day.” There are, indeed accord­ ing to this lady, few things so agreeable as a spider, whether regarded as an town.

Even at 16 years of age he had a super­ stition that to retreat, was fatal. When he set hand to any plan or started upon rmy journey he felt the necessity of going to the turn* of the lane or to tbe end of the furrow. He was resolute aud unafraid always; a boy to be trusted and counted upon—sturdy, capable of hard knocks. What he was in. speech he was in grain.

Victors for some time have noted a little group of women who stand all day long in the gallery at tbe Broadway end of the buildtag. says the New York Mail and Express. They also notice one particu­ lar broker on the floor who is eontinujilly craning his neck and glancing at one of the women in that group. Every once in awhile, after u glance, he jumps into the wheat pit, which ta just under the edge of the gallery, and makes a trans action. Only the observing will notice, how­ ever, any connection between btaoperatlons and the woman whom he watches. From 10:30 o’clock till three o’clock she stands there, wit hone hand resting over the railing. With sJiglit mavementejof this band she gives orders to buy and sell wheat to the broker. Tl)e number of flngersextcudcd'indicntes the number of'thousands of bushels to l>c done, and a twist up or down of tho whole hand tells the broker whether to buy or f»ell. But that ta not the queer part of;it, A .vtrangcr aeked one of the brokers, a friend of his, who thr woman was. "Why,” was the reply, "that’s the clairvoyant operator. She’s n 1 cal clairvov ant all right and she reads the future turns in the market and buys or sells accordingly. Or at least she thinks she reads the future, and maybe she does, for she has lasted longer than the ordinary woman speculator.

She ntw always taught at the same school and got along well until last ‘ December, when the weather was unusually •hanrouble, and she took a severe cold which developed into the “grip.” She wa* con­ fined to the house about two weeks, when •he got out nnd went to her school again. Bhe had a relapse, and thia time was con­ fined to the house several weeks, having to five up her school. “She was troubled with rheumatism and nervousness, and suffered great agony, her nerves being almost completely shattered. She could scarcely eat, and in fact could not retain solid food on her stomach at all. “ We tried five different physician* but with little avail. ' “One day our druggist advised u* to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People a«i they seemed to benefit many persona about Aurora. “Sarah used one box of the pills with mtisfnctory result*, and by the time two boxes were taken *he wa* able to go about the house. Seven boxes were used, the last one in July. She was entirely relieved of all pains or signa of rheumatism, and ner­ vousness and has since felt as well as she over did and has not missed a day of her school this winter.” Miss Sarah, who entered at this tim» veri­ fied all her mother had said, a* did also the druggists of Aurora. The drug firms of A. J. Marshall A Co., J. A. Riddell A Co. and John M. Ullrich, said the medicine was a •onstant seller with them, and gave univer­ sal satisfaction. “ People who boy onoe « some aud buy again,” they said. Mi from the Tribune. Kokomo, Ind. Mr. John Leahy, a well-known ccboolteacher of Kokomo, Indiana, makes the -ftHowi’uj? *?11 krftteU RLtiflflent reganiint; his illness from rheumatism and a compli­ cation of disease*, and snbaoquent cure. “ Three years ago, when I wxs 35 years I was attacked with rheumatism aceomponied with marked and increasing disturb­ ances of the nervous system, pains in the bead, and most serious of all, symptoms of organic heart trouble soon appeared. “The cardiac inflammation increased aa the rheumatism progressed, and it was not a great while before the heart trouble assumed the chronic form. Mr brain was much dis­ turbed and my physician was alarmed, fear­ ing meningitis, a* the articular inflammation diminished while the cerebral disturbance increased. ■*» But I was spared this additional infliction, I am 'thankful to say, for again the joints began to swell, and tbe pain in the head- to subside, though it settled into a dull rheumatic .hmiaclv-, which no skill of the physician could relieve. “Of course, during the earlr stages of the disease I was confined to bed. Then I gut up and tried to move around a little, and really I think I got used to (ho pain, more than that there was any improvement in my condition. “ It was in the spring of 1808, when I was first afflicted, and for three years tha diseass continued, during which time I was attended by the best physicians in the state, some of whom are considered at the head of their profession in the Fest. These gentlemen, though sealona, and splendid diagnosticians, could not help me. They could all describe my'disease, and tell me better how I felt than I could myself, but their remedies had no effect on me whatever. I was a fearful sufferer from insomnia, and the nostrums which I took !to superinduce sleep were legion. In addition to other troubles, my ■tohiach gave out altogether. I think prob­ ably from the preparation of salicylic acid, with which I had been abundantly dosed, I could not assimilate food, and lost flesh until 1 became almost a skeleton. My con­ dition of nerves at this time cannot be de­ scribed. Terrors by night and terrors by day were indeed mine, ana though generally utterly unreal, they were just as tormenting a* though they had the most material exist­ ence. “ So matters continued until the spring of this year (March, 1686). I was still failing and becoming more of a wreck every day, when a friend of mine, a druggist in Logans­ port. Indiana, recommended me to try Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People, say­ ing that they hud recently, cured a customer of his who had been similarly afflicted, and in as bad plight as I was. “I did not at once act on my friend's recommendation, but after two or three days did so and bought a supply. “ Now there is no exaggeration in what I am about to writer fc* it’s the honest truth. I had not taken Pink Pills two days when I began to get relief. First of all my nervous­ ness and that dull, wicked headache showed signs of abating, then my sore and painful joints grew easier, my stomach and kidneys began to do their work once more, my tongue became dean, .all foulness disappearing, and better than air my heart became normal in its action. “ Before I had taken four boxes of Pink Pills I waa a well and hearty man, and I now eat, drink, sleep and work as [well as anyone, and after three years of suffering such as mine, it may be imagined that I am more than tolerably happy and contented with life. “ I have recommended Dr. William*' Pink Pills to many, among others my sister, Mrs. Ellen Patton, of. Chicago, Ill., who is a rheumatic sufferer, but I have not heard as yet what they have done for her. (Signed) JOHB LKAHY.” iRtehM.’ James Leahy.

M>... by WMebTS'b Hopes to ProIo-DW Ht» Lite- The Process Used by the Native Alchomista | to ————— Some Strnnxe Substance* Enter Into | Great Mitrieser I* I**1- For a long time in India the appar­ ent transmutation of tin, zinc, cupper and mercury into precious metals hAs been practiced. We have seen there with our own eyes a metal like gold is­ suing from the* crucible of the Indian alchemist—a metal that could not be told from real gold by means of the touchstone. We may say, however, that in old India, as well as in young Amer­ ica, they have not yet succeeded in giv­ ing to the metal thus obtained the chemical properties of gold. On this point they are not more advanced in the one country than in the other, and the problem seems to us not to be near solution. The \netnl obtained can, in fact, be decomposed into its constituent elements. Nevertheless It may be in­ teresting to present to public notice tbe Indian alchemists and to describe their methods. Around these personages many legends have sprung up. The people assert that they never come into ■ a city except by divine inspiration, in order to cure illness and to enrich certain persons. There is a belief among the Hindus, very widespread, but purely fabulous, that they disappear nt certain hours to rejoin the efttars, divine naturalists of the early ages of India, who, according to Hindu tradition, meet with their divinity, Hari Ishari, on the summits' of the Himalaya^, to learn the secrets of nature. n. The following is the method em­ ployed by these Indian alchemists to make their gold: We give literally, conforming to the weights and meas­ ures in use in India, the list of sub­ stances necessary for this delicate oper­ ation. These are, according to our documents; Sulfur of Nelli-Kai (pb/lanthus lemblica), 24 rupees’ weight (TopnceaJ. White seeds of Abra preeatorius, v rupees’ weight (2 fa ounces). One whole garlic. i Cinnabar, 6 rupees’ weight (2 ounces). । English orpiment, 6 rupees’ weight. Sal ammoniac, 0 rupees' weight. ! These are powdered separately, aud ‘ then ar paste of the with —»—is» made ...»------— whole, . three quarts of "paddy made of the milky juice of ssclepias giganteo. The whole is ground up with thia milk. I Then little hard ball, are made of the | mixture, nnd finally two sat tie are ■ taken, of fine, hard earthenware, of i such size that the material to be dis­ tilled occupies only one-third or onefourth of the vessel. On the lower ves­ sel another satti is soldered with pot­ ter’s earth, after an opening has been made in the end of. this second vase. Over this hole is fitted a bottle whose end is pierced, and it is carefully sealed to the vase. Into the lower vase are put the little balls described above, and ; the whole is then sealed up. The powder, when vaporized, rises along the sides of the bottle and con­ denses around the hole. It is collected with a feather. Then zinc is taken; for each rupee’s weight of zinc is al­ lowed a quantity of the powder as large aa two or three rice grains. The zinc . and the powder are wrapped up to­ gether in a bit of paper or linen or a I leaf. The whole is put into a crucible, which is then sealed with a paste com- 1 posed of one part of cowdung, one of j charcoal and one of potter's earth.1 Thia Is placed In a fire of wood char- ’ coal and heated white hoL after which It it allowed to cool.

Yesterday the report was circulated that l.eautlrr Mead had been killed in Chicago, and that Mrs. Mead had been telegraphed to that effect. Tne report^Ssfalse, though Mr. Mead's family is much worried over his •absence and the fact that nothing has been In a’id from him. Last week he and Mr. George Abbey left for Northville, Da­ kota, to wofk,going to Chicago by bqat via Grand Haven. We understand that they reached Chicago early in the momfog. Mr. Mead bought bis ticket to Northville and With Mr. Abbey secured a lunqh at a resuuraut near by. Before leaving ttyqy both stepped into a wash room aud Mr. Mead suddenly disappeared. . It seems that there was a large crowd present to take the train aud as Mr. Mead hadn’t yet appeared at the depot Mr. Abbey thought tliat lie must have got lost in tbe crowd and that he would meet him on the train. Mr. Abbey Guarded the cars aud going through all the coaches did not find him. Going on to Northville he waited over un­ til after several trains had arrived, but still heard nothing from him. We under­ stand that Mr. Abbey wrote home that be had lust Mr. Mead in Chicago. Several days went by and the family beard nothing from the missing man. The Chief of p.ilice at Chicago was communicated with and preparations were made to begin a systematic search when a letter was re­ ceived from Mr. Mead last night from Northville, bearing the welcome news that he was very much alive nnd relieving the anxiety of bis family aud friends.

The meeting of |h0 Board was almost unknown to the people of the city, no notice .of it having reached the papers of the city In time, for general publication, if in fact any, before the day set. The Board of Pardons is an impartial board consti­ tuted for the purpose of looking Into such cases as need, or deserve executive clewency. As such a Board, and with suab a purpose in mind. It is deserving of credit and speaks well tor tbe charitable feeling of the people of this State. But before such n Board acts In any way whatever, either for or against, exact justice, as near as possible, ought to be done the people, and the one convicted. From what the members of the BoanTof Pardons gained in this city Thursday are they ln» a._ position to do justice to both sides? We are firmly convinced ttiat they art1 not. Why? Because they simply heard one side of the case. For this the members of the Board are not tesponsible. but they would violate Justice and their ritqsHtxlbllity to the people of the StaU, did they neglect to ascertain the sentiment against a pardon being granted, and there is a strong sentimerit against such a pardon. The Pardon Board can easily find it by Interviewing our business men. a majority of whom will <>e found opposed to any such action. We do not believe that Wm O. Lowden is at heart a criminal. A fal$£ pride and the lack ot manhood to acknowledge his short-comings% doubtless are responsible for a series of actions which would* render him amenable to law. By living a life of lionotfnls connection with the church and tuinltarv of the same, won for him ihe copjwvnee of the people of this community. /The crime ot forgery was committed among others, and twelve men said that he was the guilty man. We do npt know how other people feel, but it seem) to us that a man wlio*nters into prime, rally conscious of its penalty, as a lawyer must be, Is deserving of even greater punishment than tbe poor, ignorant person who does not appreciate Its enormity. Mr. Lowden promised his friends that at the trial he would be able to clear himself, but practically no defense was made, and he never took the witness stand in his own behalf. It remained for Judge Smith to sentence him. Taking into consideration all.the surroundings, the various charges, the fact t.f Ms being ft lawyer, knowing the penal­ ty for .ftgaery. and not even taking the stand In his own defense. Judge Smith sentenced him to six years at Jackson. If ids behavior Is good he will oe re­ leased in about three years. That sentence gave general satisfaction/ those who thought It excessive were present in good­ ly numbers Thursday, and from them the Board of Pardons can not get an exact ex­ pression of the sentiment of this communitj. Though some good, reliable, law­ abiding citizens were present, yet those opposed to pardon stayed away. We are frank to say that we have far greater sympathy fur the man who doas wrong and confesses, than for the one who doos wrong and denies it, but will not testify in hl? own behalf witen gl*t?n the opportunity. Ho person on eatHi knew aoout that forged note better than Mr. Lowden. When called to tbe bar of Justice he did not testily in bls own behalf. * Talk about a clear con science producing ■gs and Mattresses, Renke'sy& Walldorff p. WILLISON. D.

Everything Secma to Promise Arrangements have been completed whereby an excellent school of music will be conducted In connection with the Has­ tings Industrial School. The school will occupy a very pleasant suite of rooms oct the second floor and will be well equipped in every way. The faculty will consist of Prof. S. B. Morse, of Kalamazoo. Prof. F. A. Mills, of Grand Rapids and Miss Nora Andras, of Hastings. Prof. Morse will teach vocai music* and piano. He studied with Lane, of Boston, and Ko]lok, of Ger­ many, and Is considered to be one of best vocalists of the state. He has had several years of very successful exper­ ience at Kalamazoo and neighboring cities. Several of the best musicians of Hastings and vicinity have studied with Prof. Morse and speak in the highest terms of him. A Choral Union will, be. organized and Instructed by Prof. Morse Prof. Mills will give instruction on the piano, violin, mandolin, guitar and comet. He will also drill an orchestra formed of students, free of charge. He is well known in Hastings and vicinity as a very accomplished musician and Instructor and will doubtless have a large class. Miss Andrus will Instruct on the piano and organ at the school during a part of each week and visit her large classes at Nashville, Woodland and Lake Odessa during the remainder of the. week. For several years past. Miss Andrus has been known as a very successful music teacher. She uses the graded system. She is at present instructing a class of fifty-four and has a class of twenty to begin as soon as she is able to meet with them. In the various departments of the Col­ lege everything seems to be prospering. New members are signifying their inten­ tion of attending the College here from outside of the County. The Hastings Industrial will start In we believe with a very flattering attendance. • Sioux Falla, S. D., July 13.—[Special.] —“The people of South Dakota have In ' the last four years, paid off 850,000,000 of tlieir debts.” said Dr. D. L. McKinney, one of the best known Ioan-agents -of the ’ Stale’ “and they are now paying off at ‘ a very rapid rate. As things are now going the people of the State, and espec­ ially the farmers, will soon be well out (of debt. The large crops of the last few , years, coupled with tbe close times, have j had the effect of giving the people an ] appetite for getting out of debt, and’ । fortunately has also given them the abll। Ity to do so.” Mark Russell, who represents a loan < company which has several million; dol­ ।lars loaned on farm prop> rty in South ; Dakota, adds bis testi'oor.y to that of ;Dr. -McKinney.

This disease is fatal to the ox. the horse, the dog, the sheep and tbe ass, but not to the indigenous wild animals in the region infested by ,the tsetse fly. The. researches of Bruce indicate that the fly acts as a carrier of 1 1the parasite from diseased to healthy animals.

The bill, which u for un injunction ... n • i *«• ... against the United Mme Workers, was filed in the county court by coun­ sel 'for .................................................... the New York & Cleveland ,r Gas and Coal conipany. ' The defendants named are the United Mine Workers of /America, Patrick Dolan, president; Edward McKay, vice president; William Warner, secretary and treasurer, and others. The plain­ tiff company sets forth that it is a corporation under the laws,of Pennsyl­ vania, with a capital of $1,000,000 in-, rested in coal lands of Pennsylvania. Three of their mines, employing 1,200 met), are Plum Creek, Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek- The bill t^cn recites the conditions prevailing at their mines since the strike began, aud alleges that the strikera^have paid no attention to the sheriff’s proclamation aud that the lives of the miners and the property I of the company are in danger. Judge Collier granted a preliminary injunction restraining and enjoining ■ the defendants from assembling, marching or encamping in proximity to the mines and houses of the miners for the purpose by intimidation, men­ aces, threats and opprobious words of preventing the miners of the plaintiff from working. It further restrains the defendants from inducing or compelling any employe or miner to quit work. The injunction is regarded as the most sweeping yet issued. cents U a nusnei. bushel. vcuu GUARANTEED OR NO PAY $1000 IM GOID^V^; SELF-ABUSE, emissions, varico­ CELE, CONCEALED DRAINS, STRICT­ URE GLEET, SYPHILIS, STUNTED PARTS, LOST MANHOOD, iMPOTENCY, NERVOUS DEBILITY, UNNAT­ URAL DISCHARGES.

A revival of business of every kind is ample evidence that the completion of the Dingley bill was all that was needed to1 start the wheels In motion. Business1 men can now do business, knowing that there Is a basis upon which they can1 figure. Tbe fact that President McKinley placed the tariff guestion before $11 others1 is proof that be is a man of keen foresight■ and judgment. The people made no mis­' take in electing him. If silver continues to fall In price as It has since election, aud the silver partjj is alive, tbe next campaign will have to be fought on about a “ten cent dollar.” And there is just as much Justice In making a dollar out of ten cents wonh ot silver, as there is In making It out of fifty cents worth. If repudiation is life scheme it is just as honest te repudiate 99X cents as It ia 50 cents. That being so the silverltes •should advocate tbe free coinage of iron. President McKinley Is willing to take a bold stand whenever he thinks hois right. He bas taken this in regard to certain of those consular fees which tbe Cleveland administration required to be turned over to the government His order applied only to those whose salary Is less than S2.000 per annum,and as a result the dem­ ocratic croakers, who hoped for an oppor­ tunity to attack Ibe president on the ground that he was doing it for tbe benefit of those already receiving large salaries, are not realizing upon tbe stock of vitu­ peration whieh they had laid In in expectatlon of that event. * At tbelr recent convention the Mary • land democrats put themselves In a very ridiculous light, when they said tbat tbe votes of 6,500,000 democrats who voted fisr diver, bad forced President McKinley -and a republican congress to cry to bring about International bimetallism.

Industry was not “prostrated” or the people “impoverished” until the success of tbe dentocratlc party at tbe polls ia 1892 and its free trade legislation which followed paraiized industry in the United States, and transformed Its communities of busy workmen into idlers, thus bringing “pros­ tration of industry and Impoverishment of the people.” There was never greater pnfeperity in tbe United States or any other country than tbat of the years Im­ mediately proceeding tbe democratic suc­ cess of 1892,and never greater “prostration of industry and impoverishment of tbe people” than tbat which followed that democratic success. It is because of the “prostration of industry and impoverish­ ment of tbe people” through the opera­ tions of the democratic party that its lead­ ers now abandon their time-honored prin­ ciples and ask restoration to power on a currency proposition whieh has been dis­ carded by tbe most progressive nations of tbe world and Is being rejected by others as fast as possible.

With all deference to some of our busi­ ness men who are all above reproach as far as honesty is concerned and are good citizens yet it is known and commented upon, that by far too many of them are behind the times wbeu it comes to push and.enterprise. The results of such a policy are too plainly apparent, in a loss of trade. Outside points which would not be on the map in the neighborhood of a live hustling city, have sprung up and cut off trade, which would and should come here. This being true it Is refreehiug to note the evidences of enterprise that have sprung np in our midst of late, and which have borne such startling results. The old fogy has said In his heart “it does not pay to advertise” and “people' do not read advertisements.” Results in this city have proven conclusively that It does pay, and that people do read advertise­ ments. Last week E. Y. Hogle adver­ tised in the papers to sell prints for 2X cents per yard for 2% hours, commencing at 2:80 Monday p. m., Aug. 23rJ. People read those ad vs and became interested because there was an inducement Live merchants always have, inducements 4i these make a live town by inducing peo­ ple to come there to trade. Thus it was Monday afternoon. An hour before the time for opening the sale the walk in front of Mr. Bogie’s store was crowded to the edge with people. The same was . true of a similar sale made by Mr. Stauf­ ‘ fer last spring. People came here for miles around to take advantage of the bargains offered. How any business man can look at the hundreds of people attracted Aere by thatfsale Monday and Mr. Stauffer’s sale earlier and say that people do not read ad vs is more than we cau see, bat it is tn accord with the business pulley that has given Hastings the reputation of being onC of the slowest towns in the stale and thus one> of the poorest adver­ tising towns. We are thankful to say ‘ that some of our business men are thor­ oughly alive and progressive, but in the face of the results of a llttia enterprise we hope that the others will arouse from the slumber of years, and awake to their own interest by letting the people know that they are still in business, and what they have to sell. 'Though Hastings may be a little slow it is one of the best cities in the state, and most favorably* located for doing business. Every live city has live business men,, who get trade by let­ ting people know of their bargains, and giving Inducements to people to trade there. We hope our merchants will pro­ fit by the practical results as shown by" what a little advertising will do. It con­ clusively proves that advertisements are. regd., PERSONAL. Mrs..

And Dizziness Follow La Grippe WE HEAR LESS ABOUT THIS; DISEASE THAN FORMERLY, BUT IT IS STILL VERY PREVALENT. This Disease is Especially Serious in People of Advanced Age-The. best way M Escape it is to Fortify the System Against it. From the New Era, Greentbujg, Ind. A noteworthy instance of the fallibility of even the most skillful physicians u ftxrnuhed in lhe cafce of Mrs. J. E. Smith, of Greens­ burg, Ind. For four years Mrs. Smith was afflicted with a nervous affection that finally left her almoet completely helpless and which the physician who first attended her said posi­ tively could not be cured. Bubsequcntly, a number of physicians in this aud other cities, declared her case to be hopeless. Today in spite of the verdict of the doc­ tors, and without their aid, Mrs. Smith is perfectly well. To a New Era reporter she told the story of her extraordinary recovery- ‘ “Five years ago I had a severe attack of Ja grippe, followed later by another. Dur­ ing the four years following, my health'con­ tinued to decline, until finally I was hardly able to move. “After haring the grippe,” said Mrs. Smith, “I was able to be about for awhile, and to do some work. But in a short time after the second attack I began to experience nervousness, and often had fainting spells, my trouble being similar to hysterics. 1 gradoally grew worse, and in a short while I became subject to such spells of nervous­ ness that I could do no work, being scarcely able to move about the house. I could not •leep and could not eat. I would lie awake nights, my muscles twitching continuously. My physician called it nervousness of the throat and breast, and after treating me for several month* said thnt my case or any case Hkc mine positively could not be cuml. Different physicians in Greensburg and other cities who attended me, agreed that my case was Iiuih*1cs<. For three years I lingered in misery, trying different doctors and remedies, but none did me anv noticeable good. Fin­ ally mv druggist advised me to try Dr. Wilhams’ Pink Pills for Pale People* which was to highly recommended by newspapers. As a last resort I tried them, thinking that if they did me no good death might soon give me relief. The first dose helped mu, and with every dose I improved. I took about .three boxes and a half and was completely cured as you we me to-day, perfectly healthy and able to do all my own work.” GENERAL DEBILITY. Mrs. Henry Neiman lives at Sunmaxvlud., and a very cozy home she has, too. A re­ porter recexflly called on her nnd fonnd her looking stout and well, showing no indica­ tions that she had ever experienced a day’s illness in her life. Bat her story, as related to the reporter, proved quite different. "About two years ago," said Mrs. Neiinan,^I was taken ill with sciatic rheuma­ tism. general debility and female weakness.

The present empress of Germany come* from the same family as is h«r niece. Dr. Voni Esmarch had for 43 years past been director of the surgical clinic of the Kiel university, and his prominence in tbe scientific world is explained by the fact that he is one of the most suc­ cessful surgeons of Germany to-day.

With reference to the question asked in parliament as to "kissing the took," • legal correspondent writes in the London Telegraph that of late it has been particularly noticeable that many witnesses prefer the Scotch form of taking the oath—by holding up the right hand and repeating after the judge or deck the solemn words. It is only now that people are becoming cognizant of the fact that they need not "kiss the book.” The clause in the oaths act of 1888, by which the Scotch form is admissible, was not inserted to meet a religious difficulty, but od medical grounds. Many persons have properly an objection to touching with their lips a volume which has been thumbed by scores of unknown per­ sona and may contain the germs of dis­ ease. “Kissing the book" is really no essential pari of the old-daabioned oath, and the Scottish method, if uni­ versally adopted, would derfeat the cun­ ning schemes of these who think their conscience ia quit of perjury when they contrive to ids* their thumb instead of the book, which is generally a •oiled and evil-cmelling thing. A story is told of a Glasgow bailie cn the occasion of a witness being sworn before him. "Hold up your right arm," commanded the lineal descendant of Bailie;Jiicol Jarvie. "I canna dee’t,” said the wit­ ness. "Why not?" “Got shot in that airm." "Then bold up your left" “Canna dae thateither—got shot In the ither airm, too.” ‘Then hold up your leg,” responded the irate magistrate; “no man can be sworn in this court without holding up something." ______________ Tbe beet goodi are cheap enough. “Don't buy poor. poor/” Then * ’ use our Spiced Pickling Vinegar and yon come through the pick­ ling Mason with satlataettoli.

DETROIT. Little... Things” TELL A WOMAN BY HER PURSE. It has been stated, perhaps by detec­ tives, that the age aud a great knowl­ edge of rbo whole character of a woman can be gained from the contents of her pocketbook, says the Chicago Times- ’ Herald. The business woman always has a number of receipted bills and a quan­ tity of cash in her pocketbook, while the mother of a family usually has many unreceipted bills, little cash, and tho sides bursting with samples and bar­ gain . advertisements. The average young lady has a favorite poem stowed nway In a corner and invariably a sou­ venir of something bordering on the su­ perstitious. For instance, while the writer was in a State street jeweler’s store the other morning a tortoise shell portmonnaie was found on the fluor. It contained 85 cento, and, far back in a secret pocket, a poem entitled "Soul for Soul." It began: ©h, syes that plarce me through and through • And draw my very sou) away. Tour sunshine may*not fill my life Nor turn my darkness Into day. Next to that piece of sentiment was a •mall sard with the young lady’s name and weight printed upon it. On the reverse side of the card was a date with the words: "If ths aun shines three days after thia, you will have good luck for nine days." About noon­ time, a beautiful little brunette, all anxiety and blushes, hurried in to claim the purse. Hastings, Corner Grand Hirer Avenue and Gris­ wold Street.

Meals are eaten in a greater Hurry than former­ ly. even in France, where it used to be the habit during the fiercest revolutionary and communist struggles when the time of de jeuner came lor each side to stop fighting for an hour or so and devote themselves to the mid­ day meal. The hurry and anxiety of modern life is slowly destroying what­ ever was distinctive in French cooking, which cannot be properly done in haste or when food is required in very large quantities. The development of club life is part­ ly responsible for this, and the latter is only another sign of the deep-lying social problems which confrmit modern existence at every step. Men in fash­ ionable society dine more frequently at the dub than they do at^tbeir own homes.

Sidelight* On The Tariff. The failure of free trade in England and the so-called tariff reform in this country serves to concentrate attention on the pro­ tective tariff. No one is now disposed to dispute the beneficent influence of this system. No one Is so poor as to pay rev­ erence to free trade. A tabulation of figures recently published by thenoud British statistician, Mulhall, shows that the percentage of puperisnj Id England exceeds that of unhappy Ireland, notwith­ standing the fact that tbe latter has been tbe prey for generations of absentee land­ lordism. Holland Is the foreign country which most Dearly approaches England's Most pitiable plight, and, significantly enough, Holland is tbe nation which most closely patterns after England’s economic poUey. The table referred to is as fol- JUDGE FRENCH ON SILVER. Judge Nathaniel Froch, temporary chairman of the Democratic state con­ vention which met at Dea Moines on Aug. 7 and which declared for “the honest payment of our debts” and for “a sound and stable currency, ” spoke in part as follows: * ‘Since Jackson's adaainteSration and through its aot we have bad the gold standard, excepting only the period of suspension of specie payments. Our debts, both publio and private, have been contracted on that basis, and com­ mon honesty requires that they shall be repaid accordingly. The cry of the Chi­ cago convention for the free and unlim­ ited coinage of silver at tbe fake ratio of 16 to 1 attacks our existi.^ standard, threatens us with wholesale repudiation, panic and ruin. This cry is supported by tbe claim that the government is all powerful and by its mere fiat can dou­ ble the value of silver and make and keep tho silver dollar the full eqqal of the gold. Some men honestly believe in this miraculous power, but what they really want is not free coinage of silver, but free coinage of paper. “Others favor this ratio as an easy way of paying debts. Others, made des­ perate .by present conditions, are willing to risk any change, hoping for better, times. Ignorant of the fact that the present hard times are mainly due tb this agitation, they are willing to try a bigger dose of the stuff which has poi­ soned them. Others, whose main object in life is to break into office, regard it os a means of getting a publio job. Be­ hind all these is the greedy, crafty co­ terie of millionaire silvt^ mine owners, furnishing the funds and pulling the 000,00$ to 1150,000.000, tbe minimum being a little more than 8 per cent of the liabilities and the maximum about IS per oent thereof! Can any sane man oonviwce himself that this ia a aafe con­ dition of affaire, and can be maintained indefinitely? Owing to certain conditions prevail­ ing at this time, we are for tbe time being lulled into a feeling of false se­ curity and our efforts to adjust the finances of the government seem prac­ tically abandonee. Present conditions cannot be expected to continue in­ definitely. A very slight increase in imports or sales of our securities by foreigners would largely increase tbe flow of gold in that direction, and, as usual, the unprotected government vaults would be called upon to supply it Then we will have a repetition of the endless chain farce, further Irenes of bonds, business conditions seriously disturbed and an abundance of material for tbe enemies of sound finance. Therefore, why not take the matter up without delay and dispose of it in a manner that will forever eliminate from politics tbe questions that were so bit­ terly contested during the last cam­ paign, and aot wait until wo are forced to de so. In times of ease prepare for stringency, and then there will be no stringency.—William O. Little of St. Louis. senaitivo business eoL You will be welcomed at tbe Presbyter­ ian church next Sunday.

Why not invite tbe Grand Rapids League team here? The court of appeals, in its recent de­ cision affirming judgment convicting Giuseppe Constantine of murder in the first degree in killing Pietro Galiotti at Utica, held, among other things, tbat the fact t.ba,t during the trial the jury, in charge of officers, attended church, where the sermon was upon the preva­ lence of crime, was insufficient to jus­ tify a new trial, when it was shown that the officers, as soon as they discovered tbat anytbingxmight be said which could prejudice the jury, at once left the church With them, and that the trial judge thereupon stated to thejury, and at the close of the trial charged them, that no opinion uttered by the preacher should have tha slightest weight upon their minds ia forming their verdict. The evidence, says the New York Times, showed that the mur­ der was committed in an affray, and that there was an interval of from half a minute to two minutes for delibera­ tion while the defendant was threaten, ing the fatal act. The court held it was not an error for the judge, in charging the jury upon the question whether there was sufficient time for such a de­ gree of deliberation and premeditation as would constitute the crime, to illus­ trate a minute of time by his wateh. The power conferred on the court of appeals by sections 528 and 542 of the code of criminal’ procedure to order a new trial in capital cases was not to be exercised upon the mere appearance of some error to which no exception was taken, unless the substantial rights of the accused could be seen to have been affected by IL HELPING HIM OUT. Wlft W. Populists do not seem to agree on tbe cause of tbe increased price of wheat. For Instance one lays It to a generous Providence and another to tbe law of sup­ ply and demand.

Italy enjoys at the present moment the distinction of being tbe only civ­ ilized country in Europe where itis-possible to commit bigamy without expos­ ing one's self to any danger of punish­ ment, says the New York Tribune. Since the constitution of the kingdom in 1870 the authorities have insisted that only a civil marriage is legally bind-' ing. On the other hand, the church re-* fuses to recognize this'form of matri­ monial union as valid, and requires4he faithful to go through the religious service, venting its displeasure op those who seek any civil sanction to their alli­ ance. The government has repeatedly tried to secure the enactment of a law providing for the punishment of any priest who should have performed the religious marriage servlet without the latter having been preceded by a civil ceremony. But^tbe vast body of the people in Italy are Catholic to the core, and would not tolerate any measure which had the Appearance of encroach­ ing on tbe rights of the church. The result is that tz>day large numbers of unscrupulous people take advantage of the condition of affpirs to have two wives, one in the eyes of the church and the other in the eyes of the civil au­ thorities. And they can do this without ths slightest danger of being called to account or of being punished. W. C. T. U. will meet Tuwdar next with Mrx. Stauffer loatead ot In the So­ pervisors room.

In gold the total production was $58,60M37, or $11,830,437 more than 1895. The production of sliver was 56,222,­ 322 Ikne ounces or 9,891,067 ounces more tlnui the previous year.

In selecting tbe site for the Grand hotel in the Catskills, on the top of Pine Hill mountain, the owners eridfntly had in mind the vagaries qf the 1 excise vote. It yr not generally known that the Grand hotel stands on the bouft^ dary line of Ulster and Delaware eoun-1 ties, the boundary line passing almost ; through the middle of the hotel build­ ing. The hold therefore is in the town­ ship of Shundakeu, Ulster county, and in the township of Middletown, Dels-’ w,re c„unty. ShotiM Shaattaken, go dry, the hotel bar cot 1 Ibe moved to Middletown, and vice v»- -a. Advantage has been taken of thi: act by the ho­ tel owners to keep, down the assess­ ment; says the New York Sun. " The assessors of Shandaken placed a valuation on the property of $50,000. but agreed to assess it for only $25,000 if the’hotcl would remain in that town­ ship. This year they have raised the hotel assessment to $30,000, and tlye owners have notified them that they hi­ tend to remove the hotel to Delaware county, where the assessment will be made much lower by the town of Mid­ dletown. The assessors of Shandaken township arc going to try to have a bill passed by the next legislature creat­ ing this hotel property into n special district, UKtlilCl, UHU and glklllL. giving to IU the U1U AIVVAHlHVILin stockholders the privilege of voting aa to where they Rhnl or whether . i w J r.bMh(.r tMy thAv fhall ahnl! . . , . h* at n11-___________ for Jtchinp, bnrniag, bleeding, scab pimply batuurr of the akin, scalp, ano @ticura BABY BLEMISHES ftcS?wvAA^oaj,.*r Japanese journalism, says a inisaioo ary's wife, is a singular profession ba many of its features.

Sept. 13.—The great miners’ strike, which was declared on July 4, waajwoughl to an end Saturday evening, »• faj- at least as Western Pennsi lva*ia, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia ass nonoerned, by the action of ths intexatate convention of miners, which has baau ia session here since Wednesday. . After a day of voting and wrangling the convention adopted a resolution ac­ cepting tho proposition of tha Pitts­ burgh operators. The vote was 495 for and 317 ayrnnat accepting the terms of settlement, 11 votes not being cast. 1 he delegates from IMaois, who had 250 votes, were unanisnowsly against a set­ tlement. Indiana' and West Virginia voted solidly to accept the operators proposition, tot there were scattering votes among the Ohio and Pittsburgh delegates against it. The resolutions adopted are as follows: <Mm R»«olutiena. “Resolved, ^hat we. the miners of Penn­ sylvania. W«t Vtrtltoa. Ohio Indiana and Illinois.

Wherever Mr. Bryan attempts to work In any of his calamity speeches he is met face to face with “dollar wheat.” No, silver basu’t had anything to do with the increased price of wheat In fact 11 never had anything to do‘wlth the price of wheat in any jvay, shape or manner. The smoke from newly started Indus< tries, and the dost from threshing ma­ chines engaged in threshing out dollar wheat, seem to have seriously affected. Mr. Bryan’s voice. PERSONAL. New York, tbe cun, will be one of tbe fiercest and most momentous In the history ot American politics. It will determine whether the great centre ot Amerieeo conHrvetlon, wealth, and elrUlzaUoe, the second city ot the world Is to be given over to tbe forces which last year fought' madly tor the destruction ot tbe stability ot the social system and ot republican Institu­ tions, or Is to be controlled by the elements In the community which represent Its honor, enlightenment, and enterprise, Ils' Intelligence and Its sanity.”—New York Sun (Dem.) For the past three or four yeare eapltal has been timid and has been withdrawn from tbe channels of trade. Millions of dollars were taken from banks and locked up in Safety Deposit vaults. Money be­ came scarce and hard to get. One of the best evidences of returning con fl de nee Is the fact that to-day the deposits In tbe banks of this country are the laryeet in the history of the country. All, or nearly all, of this money has been here right along but iv Ijas been bld away because four years ago an administration was In­ stalled In poWer that unsettled the basis for business stability. Four years ago about this time nearly every factory to the country was p?n»ring to shut down or reduce wages* Now The Mexican carpenter has to content they are starting up at a lively pace, and himself with 81.25 a day and take his pay in many Instances wages have been ad- in 40 cent dollars.

The free silverites are claiming that the price of wheat is due to Its scarci­ ty. If that is true, than the low price of wheat was due to its being so plentiful, and bas no relation whatever to silver. If there was a scarcity of silver thfe price would be higher, but the fact that It Is low, Is an argument that It is too plentiful. ■w -W“ • Afth_ wJULY 1 iff 5? -LLh Lost—Beagle hound, black and white, answers to name of "Breeze.” Finder Leave at Hams A Lowrl! will be rewarded.

The spinster who wants a husband need only emigrate, for if all account* are true the different European colo­ nies in Africa and Asia, as well as dis­ tant regions in Canada, Australia and Cape Colony, there'are not enough wom­ en to supply the demand for wives. But when tbe societies that promote the emigration of women to the col­ onies send out a party, the last thin® in. their minds, apparently, i« the bet­ ter chance these women will hove to get' husbands. They simply send women "ho lack work to colonies that lack women. , Their character and fitness for emi­ gration must be approved, and then they are sent on the long journey in tbe charge of matrons, who see to their comfort and are responsible for their, safety until situations that will yield them a living are foundfor them. The United British Women's Emigra­ tion association, the largest of all theaa societies, would refuse to assist any. woman to emigrate if she should openly, avow that she was seeking a husband rather than opportunities for work. Hiring: of Doare. One can hire a gun or a violin, a house or a dresscoat, almost anything, in fact, including dogs. Setters and pointers are hired for hunting purposes, and they can foe hired by the day or the week or the month. Newfoundlands and St. Bernards are hired for watchdogs, usu­ ally for the summer.

Soon it will be a teriouti question with some farmers how to pre­ serve the productivity of tbelr orchards. In bu „address before the Missouri Horti­ cultural society. Mr. J. Ames said that the question of “Flow to Renew an Old Orch­ ardF* was an important one and was con­ fronting many who are now^occupying old farhu. To restore trees to their former vigor and fruitfulness would seem impos­ sible. Nevertheless, this has been done. Some orchards go to decay prematufeiy. This may .result from many or combina­ tion of causes. Trees that have borne large crops year after year are the first to fail if not abundantly supplied with plant food while those trees that have little but leaves continue.’to grow and appear <* healthy. The first orchards were not ap­ preciated and received but little care,hence year after year destructive insects have multiplied greatly and, together with fungi, affect the entire orchard. The soil has become exhausted by a -continual draught upon IL Thus wreck and ruin appear on every hand. Jf such an orchard should fall into our bands, the first alm.and purpose would be to effect an entire revolution by renewing the soil with an abundant supply of stable manure and wood ashes' over the entire surface of the ground, putting but little in contact with the trees. A new and complete change of tops by re-grafting, with a change of fruit on every tree, should be done, also the trees should be given a thorough cleaning and be given a wash composed of lime, crude carbolic acid and strong lye for the destruction of all insect life. Spray for the destruction of the cddling moth and scab fungi. This with frequent and con­ tinued cultivation and a fresh supply of fertilizers until the soil is restored to a healthy condition, will rejuvenate the old trees. PERSONAL. Mrs. C L.

From advices she brought under date of the 14th inst. the following particulars are obtained: The Hawaiian senate met in extra ses­ sion on the 8th inst. When* the senate was called to order the president’s mes­ sage urging the ratification nf- the treaty was read, as was also a protest on'behalf of the Hawaiians who opposed the measure. A synopsis of the message of President Dole is as follows: । i | | On the right-hand side of Victoria street, London, as you go toward St. Paul's station, is a red brick building lying back from the road, built in the style of the early Georgfcs. This is the College of Heralds, tine of tbe most an­ cient institutions iu Erngjand; from a practical point of view .the most tueiess. At its head is the duke of Norfolk, earl marshal of England, and appointed by him are the six heralds of । the different counties, and subordinate । to these the pursuivants bearing the romantic titles of bluemantle, red, dragon and portcullis. It is these gen­ tlemen who cut such an imposing figure in the pictures of the coronation with their tankards, blazoned in bullion with the royal escutcheon. The meth6d of their remuneration'is peculiar. Though state officers, they receive no salary, but each presides at the office in Vic­ toria street for a certain number of weeks in each year and hunts up pedi­ grees and coats-of-arms in the records preserved there, for which he charges u certain fee, niK(Jhe amount be earns The president tn hia message stated that in this time is his salary for the year— un<er the authority conferred upon him often, in fact, a very respectable sum by the constitution and with the approval . Indeed.

An English shopkeeper carefully watches the birth announcement* in the daily, papers every morning. By this mean* he is able to know the birth­ day of practical!j- every child in the country' whose parents are likely to in­ dulge in expensive birthday present*. The date of each child’s birth, together with the address of its parents, he care-’f fully writes down in a huge folio, which he calls his birthday chart. By refer­ ring to this chart he knows when hi* youthful client’s birthday is approach­ ing. and a couple of days beforehand he sends tho parents carefully selected specimens of gifts suitable to the child’s age. It hardly ever happens that his stock is returned without a selection bping made, as the mothers are so de­ lighted with his thoughtfulness that they haven’t the heart to rebuff him.

I was employed in the treasury at the time—a little before the war— and the pigeons that roosted on the cor­ nice and about the capitals of the colonnade had multiplied, and they were so numerous as to inconvenience the employes. To those particularly who were in the upper stories of the building they were an intolerable nuis­ ance. The superintendent of the building secured from the mayor a suspension of the law prohibiting the nse of firearms within the city limits so us to allow gunning about the, build­ ing before seven o’clock in the morn­ ing by such persons hs be should desig­ nate. I having' had the reputation of being a good shot and with a mouth set for a pigeon pie dinner secured permis­ sion to shoot. One morning’s shooting was enough for me so far aa the bird pie dinner was concerned, for some of the birds were so aged and tough that hide and feathers were too much for the lead; and many of those killed who found their way to kitchens were too much for the teeth. The sport was kept up for several days, more to the benefit of the department in contract­ ing the circulation of tbe birds than for the pleasure of eating the game secured, and thousands were slain. T.Lrdo. ■ �Iastinga Thursday, Sept. 30, 1897. COOK BROS.. Proprietor*. CORRESPONDENCE. Rev. Tidd and wife, of Yankee Springs, were very much surprised last Thursday by so many of their friends gathering In to make them a farewell visit. There were over 50 in number. After having a good time visiting, the Elder look his guide, the Holy Bible, and read a chapter, which was followed by slnglug “Gladly Toiling For tli<> Master." Then tbe Elder made a prayer that touched the hearts of those present, and many of tbe words that fell from his *!ips will long be remembered. After praying, praises to God were sung. .Then Ira D. Brooks was chosen to present a quilt to the Elder aud his much loved wife and when the quilt was presented there were not many dry eyes iu the house. It was a shock to many of the people of Oak Grove Mission to have to pert with the Elder so soon, and they were not prepared to part with him. But • we feel that we lose a warm friend and pastor nnd hope that God will bless him where he may go. Hinds Corner*. . The D. A. S. will meet with Mrs. Sarah Larabee. Oct.

Ihree limes this year the Kalamazoo independents have come to this city with the deternlnatlon of retrieving lost honors upon the Jail field, but each time the re­ sult has been the same—failure. Each team they brought over was stronger than the one lefore, but it only spurred the home tean to greater effort. Friday the Independents came over stronger than ever beiuc strengthened by Cadwaltader, of >Hlcko*y Corners, who played dhurt. There wai also John Ganzel, who piajed first ba-H- (or Grand Rapids In the Western league, aid whois recognize 1 as one of the best of his class in the country, and is much sought after by the National league. Then there.was McKinney, a Western league professional player, who held down third base for the Independents. Last but not l«-t was Ed Blue, the all-around athlete, who plays ball summers and wrestles winteis, who came over- toiptay an important part in the slaughter oC the •'iunoceats” by catching for the Independ­ ents. Sa geaut the south paw twirler was in the boi, and was very effective except in two in'iings when nine runs were earnDa mouth pitched a good, steady gnme, and keeping,.the hits well scattered. His support t< tftnes was of the ragged variety, but It-tended to even up the games and make it more interesting. # Kalamazoo went to bat first Cadwaliader being the first man to step up to the plate. He knocked a grounder to Goodyear who tumbled it and allowed tb»runner to leach first. OBrien fol lowed with a cracking double and Cad scored. Goodyear retriev­ ed himself by making a neat doubled un­ assisted, holding McKinney’s hot liner and catching OBrien off (QL second. Ginzel made a single, but Goodyear got hi? clutch­ es on Blue’s grounder and threw hit* out at first. . Hastings commenced business rignt from the send off. McDonald, the first man up made a clean singlv, and Barber followed him with another. Everybody had Ibelr eyes on Chase when he stepped to the plate, and when there’s much depend lug on Idin, Billy very seldom disappoints his friends. Sargeant shot all kinds of curves around the plate, but Chase didn’t “bite” Until be found one to his liking, ati4 he hit'right in the middle. -It sailed blear over the fielder's head and wenurolllng out in the woods. By the time It reached the diamond Billy had made the circuit ut the bases, and was quietly resting. Borrendame got his base on balls, took thirdion a wild throw and scored on McKirinry’a-j-rror in fielding Poff's grounder. Rock and Goodyear fanned out. Kalamazoo made three in the third on McDonald’s error tn fielding Cadwallader's grounder, and hits by OBrien, McKinney and Ganzel. They added yue more to their string In the fourth on Sargeant's hit and a couple of enrore. Hastings made one In the fourth ou a couple of errors and a passed ball. Kala­ mazoo made two)in the fifth on Ganzel’s three bagger, a single by Blge. an errdr by Murphy and a single by Carsun. In their half of the fifth the home team had another batting streak. Barber got a base on balls. Stole second and scored on Chase's trippie. Chase scored on Borrendame’s double, and he scored on Poff’s double. McKevItt who halted In Hocks plaed made a cracking single sending Poff home. Singles by Ketcham, who bitted hi Murphy** place, and Damouth -snored McKevItt. Five runs were scored and all of them earned. Kalamazoo secured two runs in' the sixth on singles by OBrien and McKinney, a base ou balls and Goodyear’s muff of Blue’s fly after a hard run. Ganzel In attempting to score on this collided with Poff Ht the plate and the Hastings eatfcber was badlyjnurt, Ganzel a knee strlkingihim over the left eye, cutting a bad gashiand causing the blood to How freely.

POSTOFFICE, AUGUST 14, 1879. ~ EDITORIAL NOTES" New Issues are being hunted for by the Ute leaders In the exploded free silver theory. No one suffers so much from cheap money as the farmers and laborers.—Wm. McKinley. • Farmers have every reason to congratuUte themselves that the Dlngley bill has gone into effect. . The free coinage of allverds exploded and is being dropped lu all the states where elections will take place this year. William McKinley commenced in the Ute war as a private and conducted him­ self In such a manner as to win great hoH^ ors for himself. Just as soon as a protective tariff Cudgress came In power prosperity returned. There never was greater business activity than at the present lime. The fact that individual deposits in the banks of Ibis country are the largest In its history is conclusive evidence that there is plenty of money in the country, and is a stunner to the calamity shriekers. Iron is a pretty good barometer of trade conditions. All the iron and steel mills In the country are booming with orders. Railroads and manufacturers generally are very busy, and when they are busy it is a very good indication that everyone tire Is busy. _ John McLean, of Cleveland, Is the princl pal owner of a gas plant in the city of Washington valued at 85,000,000. He Is the man who demands all payments to him to be made 1n gold, but he wants free coinage of silver to force everybody else to Uke depreciated dollars. Wm. Jennings Bryan thinks yet that he is the whole “push” of the democratic party. The real leaders of the party, such men as Senator Gorman, Chairman Jones, ex-Gov. Boles and others have advised the party to drop the free silver issue because It is dead, and take up with something else. Mr. Brjau has recently written letters to the democrats t.f New York saying that the silver issue must not be dropped, but that the white metal must be coined 16 to 1, and Independently of any other country. Nobody knows what the outcome will be, but a split In the democratic ranks Is-rertaln. w • John Dole Is in Otebgo this wees. Jay Hogle was in LoWell Tuesday. Morris Burton is in Lansing thia week.

Our national currency system is still in a highly nnusatisfactory condition, and all friends of monetary reform should unite in bringing their influence to bear upon congress next winter to secure some positive constructive legis­ lation to cure the evils which they all recognize as existing. Whatever meas­ ure is brought forward to simplify the paper circulation, to fortify the gold standard, upon which all our paper and silver issues rest, and to improve our national banking system by authorizing branch banks and giving the feature of elasticity to bank circulation, will be pretty sure to be antagonized by all the motley forces of cheap money—silver men as well as paper fiatists. On this question I believe parties will make their next national struggle. On one side the platform will be govern­ ment paper money and plenty of it to stimulate business and start a new era of speculation. On the other side it will be that all paper currency should be issued by sound banks nnder govern­ ment supervision, and its amount should depend cn business needs, which vary from month to month, with the check on overissues by the bankers themselves to avoid insolvency. The tight between sound and unsound money theories will be a hard one, and the wrong side may win at first, with much resulting calamity to onr business interests, but 1 do not see how the con­ test can be avoided. We must retire the greenbacks and wu must have a better system of bank issues before we can get onr currency affairs upon a safe basis It seems to me that the first duty of the friends of sound money in prepar­ ing to make the contest that seems inev­ itable is to continue the process of edu­ cating the public mind which was be­ gun last year.—E.

EXACT COPY or WF The Coast Line to MACKINAC •-TAKE THS -« Director of the Mint R. E. Preston is said to have predicted thnt within 15 years every nation in the world will be uuing the goW basis for its financial system. He thinks Mexico will be t^>e next important nation to fall into line forgoM. nfteen yearsto a short period of time with oriental nations, but it may be sufficient time even for China to'ncccot the inevitable. As the dangers of a silver standard become more mid more’ apparent nations are almost fall­ ing over each other to get to a-gold basis. It Is probable that more ndt-ions wlH adopt the gold standard this yeaxthan have eve,r before adopted it in any one year. Japan, Salvador. British Hondu­ ras, Costa Rica and Peru are some of the countries that have this yerr'either afiopted the gold standard or started the process of adoption. Nicaragua and In­ dia may also join the gold procession this year. Commenting upon Director Preston’s prediction, the New York Journal of Commerce says: “The nations of the world are too closely’ connected by the tics of com­ merce now to maintain different and es­ pecially differing standards. Commerce has wiped out boundary lines. The steamship and the telegraph and five cent letter postage, we may add, and the increasing mean* of the people of every country to buy’the products of other countries and the increasing demands of the tpanuflucturers of every land for material* from other lands have alto­ gether brought the nations of the world into a single market. While their re­ spective moneys bore an unchanged re­ lation to each other it only required a little arithmetic to translate prices from one language to another, but when their relations toward each other changed rapidly it began to be evident to all except a few American states­ men that it was imperative that, whether reduced to a common unit or not, their moneys must be reduced to a common standard.” Our national currency system is still in a highly unsatisfactory condition, and all friends of monetary refor should unite in bringing their influen to bear, upon congress next winter to MACKINAC tri theWorld. secure torn/positive constructive legis­ For 11 ywt this by merit DETROIT *lnn«*. boa «Jall rtnnpHit-»r». lation to cure the evils which they all W.

All the threads running one way being drawn, elaborate and graceful designs are worked with the needle. The oldfasbioned drawn work will be sold next season for less than half its former price. The reason /or the reduction, ac­ cording to the dealers, is nut so much because it has ceased to be fashionable as because the work is now done in Japan. After the cloths and doylies are woven, und in many instances hemmed, they ure sent to Japan with lhe desiyed patterns to have the drawn work put in. The Japanese labor cost­ ing so much less, the work can be sold for huV its former price and still yield a fair profit to the deniers. Colored cloths and doylies nre styles of the past, ns are center pieces,em­ broidered in colors.. Satin and site scarfs have also had their day. and in their places, for those housekeepers fond of displaying their own handi­ work on their tables, have come crochet mats, center pieces and plate and finger bowl doylies.

The details be­ tween the time of the finding of the coin, and the disposition of it are in­ teresting, as showing how, after chang­ ing hands several times and being the subject of several proposed bargains, but not consummated, the cpin sprang from the depths of ignominy—spurned by a bartender—to its proper place us a recognized treasure. It was discovered b laborers who were making an exca. tion at Broad and Catherine streets. It was a dis­ reputable thing to be called, a Coin, being so long covered with dirt that the image and superscription were not recognizable. The man who picked it up looked nt it doubtfully. “I don’t know what it is,” he said, “or how much it’s worth, but I guess it’s pood for a kettle of beer, any­ way.” And so the long buried coin started on its journey to prominence. It was thrown on the bar of a near-by saloon, offered fn exchange for a cold, froth­ ing kettle of lager. The bartender eyed it sufrpicidusly. “No good,” was his verdict, uttered in the cold und Unsympathetic tone which only a bartender can tise, ns he sees coins and apologies for coins of all sorts thrown before him by thirsty mor­ tals. The finder of the coin was disappoint­ ed. He wanted the beer. He begun to nrgue the case and attracted the atten­ tion of another man in the saloon, who tonk up the coin and examined it. “I’ll give you 50 cents for it,” and the next moment it was in his pocket, the finder of the coin paid for his beer, disappeared, came back and had the kettle refilled, disappeared again, and so on’ until the half dollar’was gofae. He and his friends thought it was a great piece of luck to- find a coin worth half a dollar. Then came a rapid exchanging of band?, so far os the coin was concerned. •The man who paid 50 cents for it showed it to a friend, who offered him a dol­ lar for it. The deal was promptly closed. Then the man who had paid the dollar found &.m:ui who was will­ ing to give five dollarfor it, and again the coin changed owners. 1’ t here .the locust-story phase of the coin’s history censes. The next chapter was one of bidding and the re­ fusal of bids. The five-dollar man took it to a coin dealer, who offered him ?20 for it. The five-dollar man said he’d think it over, and went to another Y’enler. “Twentyxfive dollars” was the figure offerd by dealer No. 2, but thefive-dollar man still held onto the coin. “If one man offers $20, and you are willing to pay $25,” he said to the coin dealer, “the next one I strike may make it 530.” w The dealer thereupon offered to take the coin and find a l»uycr at once, get­ ting tiie most he could for it, and de­ ducting a per cent, commission. The -owner agreetl, and the coin was taken to a well-known numismatist, who raw it was no eveiyday find. It was an old English coin, containing about $10 worth of gold, but valued at many times that much money, because there are, it is said, only four of the kind in exist­ ence. . The coin was purchased for $100, and the buyer is not expected to lose money, even at that figure. Indeed, the other three coins of the kind are said to have sold for as high as $100 apiece.—Phila­ delphia Inquirer.

LOWER WILL BE LESS THAN TWO AND ONE HALF PER CENT THIS YEAR. With Proper Kcbuotuy They Will Lrsj| Thau Two Per <£nt Next Year. Estimating that the county and state tax Will be about the same this year as last and knowing what the city tax la. It Is thought that the tax to be paid by our ciljzens this year will be about two and one-half per cent—two and 48-100 to be ac­ curate. Owing to the fact that the state h-'Kloldure met last year the state tax for Barry County will be about 84.000 more than last year, while the county tax will be about that muclVless than last year Out of the tax this year about 88000 of todebteduess Will be paid, and about 33000 cash on hand will be left tofnext year. This will leave the city in splendid shape financially, much better than it has been for several years past, and will give our citizens a breathing spell from paying high taxes. Next year with the same economv that has been practiced this yAr,. our taxes ought to be copbiderably below two per cent and we hope that such economy will be practiced. Beginning with next fear we would like to see a one-mill tax spread upon the rolls of this city for the purpose of building good roads. With the low taxes that ought to prevail after next year, people 1 will feel easier, and a tax of one-mill1 would not be felt by anyone, but at the Name?, time it would provide a fund of over’ 81000. , This amount, with the help of farmers. ,who will gladly contribute workj on the highways in their localities, would build eight lo- ten mlkof nice gravel roads. • Court tfnu»o New<s, > KEAI.

Bast CUeut. Gen. Ramon Blanco was born M years ago in San Sebastian, Spain. He did active service during rhe Ton Years' war In Cuba. He also fought In the Caxlint war in Spain. It was owing to his success in storming and capturing the castle of Pena Plata during the Carllat campaign that he was granted the title of nianquis of Pena Plala. Gen. Rlanoc was appointed governor-general of Cuba in March. 1879 During his command of the island occurred the emsuccessful uprising known as the “little war,” which was headed by Gens. Calixto Garcia and Antonio Maceo, short­ ly .after the termination nf'the Ten Yoars' war. For hla services during that short­ lived revolt he was rewarded by the gov­ ernment. He received the crass of San . Fernando, with a pension of 12.000 and a title of Grandee of Spain. The Madrid government In October, 1881. disapproved of Gen. Blanco's conduct of affairs in Cuba and his resignation followed. Gen. Blanco was governor of the Philippine Islands at the time the present war started there, and at once took active measures to suppress the outbreak. The general was suddenlysuperseded by Gen. Camilo Polavteja. Since his return to Spain he has several times been mentioned as the probable suc­ cessor of Gen. Verier in Cuba.] Madrid, Oct. 11.—Premier Sagasta gave audience to a number of Cuban senators. He informed them that firm­ ness tempered with mercy would be his policy; that the government would de­ vote itself before all else to the pacifica­ tion of Cuba, and w ould then introduce (n the island .a model administration.

EDITORIAL NOTES You don’t hear of any attempt of this new administration to-sell bonds do you? It might be a good thing if tbe calamity ahriekers would take their vacation among the farmers this year. One of the biggest wrecks in the country is the Chicago platform. Everything has seemed to take special delight In giving ft a. biff. tween 1896 and 1897 and the years of our Lord 1878 and 187$! In 1878 the air was resonant with denunciations of the wicked men who would not Issue all the green­ backs which a suffering people demanded. John Sherman was denounced otr- all hands, Samuel J. Tilden declared that only a vast central reservoir ot coin could pro­ tect us against the failure of the proposed, return to Bp^ie payments In 1879. The farmer was at his wot*. ruined, destroyed, eateu up by taxes and usury. Down al­ most to the very day of resumption the croaking came with dismal and damnable iteration, When the first of January came no crowds thronged the Sub-Treasury corridors. Hardly a greenback was pre­ stinted and we got back to the currency of the world witbouka movement or a jar. From that moment prosperity began.” The cotton crop of the south Is very light this year, but it will bring 195,000.000 "Prlor to the passing of the Dingley more than the crop two years ago.

Great good ought to come from there came a repetition of tbe phenomena such meetings, and annual conventions of 1879.” The old lady of Threadneedle street (Bank of England) has made an offer to the bimetallic commim-ion sent abroad by thia country which seems to give pleasure to some of tbe "friends of sil­ ver.” Apparently the Bank of England agTcea to hold one-4Hth of Its reserve iu silver^ which it Is permitted to do by an act of parliament of 1844. Tn reality it agrees to do so only under conditions a* difficult of realization Sa if it had said "when the sun turns backward in its dnuree.” These conditions are that the French mint ahull "be again opened to the free coinage of stiver, and that the prices at which silver is procurable un4 salable arc satisfactory" France could hardly opes her mints at any other ratio than he’ old one of 15%. It is practically certtln that her civilization is too far advanced for her to attempt free coinage at 15% to 1 when the present ratio is abeut46 to 1. When “the prices at whbh silver is procurable and salable ari satisfac­ tory” may mean anything. As the Bank of England cannot use diver in re­ demption of its notes it car afford to buy silver only when it can be ex­ changed for gold withov' rak of loss.

Argen­ tine will do this simply to retaliate, but the fact that conditions are so uneven. It is plainly evident that she Is like the mdHidnal who “eat nff-bte own nose to spite his face.” Secretary Wilson is proving to be the most efficient man who was ever at the head of the department of agriculture. Aside from getting new markets for our milk products, he has been of great assis­ tance in creating an interest In sugar beet enlture. His latest act is to get some slips from the camphor tree and have them planted In the gulf states. Camphor Is produced mostly in China* and Japan. With the attention that it will receive here, another industry will doubtless be added to our country—the production of onr own camphor. ■ Another proof of the generally improved business conditions Is found In tbe enor­ mous Increase in tbe output of pig-iron.

It enters into the production of articles for the farm, for the railroads, for building, for sea going ves­ sels and almost even* business enterprise, and has rightly been denominated a busi­ ness barometer. In October ot last year the weekly piodaction of pig-iron in the United States averaged 112,000 tons. The average weekly output for September of this year will average about 190,000 tons.

When these conditions are fully appreciated by the silveritea, they wifi see what an "April fool” is being played upon them. Two plausible aud possible explona-. tions of this action of the Biuik of Eng­ land have been suggested Onhsis that this offer is intended as a sop to die silverites to keep alive the silver question and to keep the United States on an un­ sound basis os long as possible. By so doing England would keep her greatest commercial rival in the serfte crippled condition in which it his been for several decades. The second is that as British capitalists nre the largest own­ ers of sllvermines and of silver mining stocks in the world the Btnk of Eng­ land should "do something for silver." It is deerae^ unfair to the British mine owners to leave them, entirely depend­ ent upon their free silver friends in America. .

It should be possible at this time to form an Intelligent estimate of the extent of this increase and to forecast the out­ put of tbe current year. Barring some calamitous occurrence, the prod­ uct of the Cripple Creek district will be fully $12,000,000, a gain of 37 per cent, over our figures for |896. Colorado’s output should reach $20,000,000, which exceeds Director of the Mint Preston’s 1898 figures by 34 per cent., or a gain of 10 per cent, for the state outside of the Cripple Creek district. Sixty millions of dollars seems at the present time a very safe estimate of the produetion of the United States. "The world's output of gold for 1896 was about $218,000,000. From present indications no very large increase is to be expected from either Australia or Russia. The South Afrirqn increase, however, promises to be notable. The Rand output for the first six month* of the current year exceeded that of the corresponding period of 1896 by about 30 per cent. While it is not likely that this ratio will be maintained through­ out the year the increase may very easily he 20 per cent, or about $9,000,­ 000.

It Is likely that somewhere between ftftJXJO.OOO and 810,000,000 In gold will leave Europe for New York tbe coming week. Tbe fact that tbe regular exchange firms appear as importers of gold is evi­ dence that the Import gold movement will eontinue. Tbe movement, at least at present.

SEE Now, tbe very first observation we have to make on this subject ia that •there are do such days in the year scal­ endar as “dog days." There are xm> days on which, and there is no kind of weather during which, a dog is pecul­ iarly liable to rabies. Babies is a rare disease at all •easous of the year, and there are no more cases of rabies in July or August than in December or January. It follows, therefore, that there is -no more reason to dread our family friend, the dog, in hot weather than iu cold, and no more reason to dread hydrophobia from his bite at one time of the year than al another. The,• phrase “dog* days” is a false and mis­ leading phrase, which all humane per­ sons ought to avoid in the interest of the dog. We have aeid^ and we repeat, that hydrophobia is one of the rarest of dis­ eases; and that when it appears to be developed, we believe it, in the vast ma­ jority of cases, io be a simulated dis­ ease, produced by a morbid imagina­ tion. We do not go so-far as to assert that it is never caused by the bite of a rabid animal; arid therefore, we would j advise that al! proper care should be 1 taken to destroy without delay all nnr imals th at are affected with rabies. Yet here again we must recall the fact that rabies itself is one of the rarest of nil the diseases with which dogs and other Animals are affected. When we hear the cry of “Mad dog!” thus chances are millions to one that tbedog is not mad; I it is the people who are mud with ter-i seven years ago, -when last ras from UielTHUt-a territory,.

This Institute promises to be one of the most important educational gatherings ever held In Barry Co. Nearly all district schools will be closed for the fall vacation thus making it easy for teachers to attend. Where schools are in session, it is ex­ pected that they will be closed, school boards should willingly give Friday, and all teachers should give their Saturday. The law gives the teacher the day. Rx-SupL EL R. Patten gill has been ap­ pointed to conduct the institute and he will be assisted by Prin. W. N. Ferris, of the Big Rapids Industrial School, ProL C. T. McFarlane, of the State Normal College, / Ypsilanti. Prof. Chas McKinney, of the Central Michigan School, Mt. Pleasant, and others. These educators are well known to the teachers of Barry Co., they need no Introduction. It is ex­ pected that State Supt. Hammond will also be present to meet the teachers of Barry Co. ' This will be an educational revival that will send waves of enthusiasm in the in­ terest of our schools, far and near. Satur­ day afternoon will be devoted to the legal hide of our education, from patrons, offic­ ers and teachers’ standpoint Personal invitations wi>i be sent (a little later) to the school officers throughout the county and we hope to have at least one hundred In attendance. At a recent school meeting in Hillsdale Co. over one .hundred school officers were in attendance, sursly Barry Co. can and will do as well. By that time the busy season for farmers will be nearly over, aud we hope to draw into the Institute, interested patrons and officers from ail parts of the county, as well as teachers, the roll of teachers will be called, and we expect everyone to re­ spond, but few fall In Barry Co. The institute will probably be held in the opera bouse, the large auditorium of the Hastings Industrial School, giving ample seating capacity for all, apd do stairs to climb. The programs will soon be ready and will be mailed to ail teachers as well as published in the ‘school column of the county papers. Watch for the same. Some pleasant social feature will be planned for the' first evening, following the regular program, every teacher should be In attendance at the opening session on Thursday evening and enjoy the lecture as well as the social feature and good fellow­ ship, that will help to break the ice and get everyone in good splrite. Every session of the iustitute will be fkek and a hearty welcome is extended to the entire public, in the belief that such gatherings have a wholesome influence on any community, in the way of establishing a better educational sentiment and better educational ideals.

EDITORIAL NOTES The deficit for the second month ot the Dingfey bill Is only about a quarter as much as the deficit of the Wilson bill in Its second mouth. Tbe importations of wool under the Dingley bill in August were but little over half what they were In 1896. Wonder if tbe farmers don't get some benefit from this. Tbe bank clearings for tbe month of September In 78 cities In this country thia year were 85,521,933,000,or three and onehalf times as much as all the gold, silver, and paper money we have. Mr. Bryan was heard to say some months ago that be would be glad If tbe McKinley administration could bring pros­ perity to the country. That was patriotic, but has anybody heard his expression ot it since it has come? * Wheat has gone below a dollar a bushel to the great delight of the sllverltes. They don't like to see a bushel of wheat worth two ounces of silver, when last year it was only worth one ounce. Somehow or other tt doesn't jibe with what they preached. Tire malicious attempts recently made by the opposition to injure the McKinley administration and Senator Hanna, with reference to tbe sale of the Union Pacific R. R., seems to be reacting against tbe originators of the lie, in a way that’s very detrimental to their interests. Last year there were a good many who didn’t take any stock in what Wm. McKin­ ley said, viz: “That in bis judgment it was better to open the mills of the United States to home labor, than to open tbe mints of thli country to the silver of the world.* They have now concluded that his judgment is splendid. It isn’t to be wondered at that the sllverItes are maintaining aqjalnful silence on tbe wheat and silver question. In Sept 1896 an ounce of silver would buy a bushel of wheat In September, this year it took two ounces of silver to buy a bushel of wheat. Wheat has advanced and silver has declined in price despite all populist utterances last year. “Silence.” on the silver question espec. ally “seems golden.” The contests now being waged, by 1he opposition, in those stales where elections will soon be held, have ignored tbe silver question entirely, Ohio,New York, Maryland and the other states have kept Bryan and his ilk out of their limits. No better admission could be made by them that free silver as an Issue is dead. The silver issue is dead and consequent­ ly won’t do for a state issue. Therefore It Is not surprising that Henry George, the visionary theorist, of New York, should be picked up by tbe Democratic party, be­ esuse. It has got to have a hew issue. Single tax. and governmental ownership and control ot certain lines of business will therefore be tbe issues, inasmuch as free trade and free silver are dead.

The analysis made by the chemical division, of which Dr. Harvey W. Wiley is chief, shows that the American Beet ts tbe peer of any of Its kind tbe world over In saccharine qualities.

Death was sudden, and majority of the members of the demo­ is attributed to heart difficulty. Mon­ cratic national committee who have ex­ day night Mr. Pullman Retired at 11 pressed themselves regarding his can­ o’clock, after entertaining a party of didacy. George is within the bounds of truth in these assertions. What are '‘the great principles back of (he Chicago platform?’’ Greeubackism, George intimates, is one of them, and probably he is right. That was the leading plank in the platform of one of tbe three parties which supported Bry­ an last year, the populist party. George is o collectivist and so are most of those who supported Bryan last year and ' nearly all of those who are favoring George this year. He wants the land Sa “nationalized." Perhaps Bryan will not E* go so far as to indorse the single tax yet, P but it is safe to say that he is in favor of J/-the “nationalization** of railroads-and telegraphs.

At larger eastern and central west­ ern cities sale* of seasonable goods have not equalled expectations, and at none of these points has the volume of business Increased. At Chicago, St. Louis. Balti­ more, New York and Providence there has beep a decrease In the volume of busi­ ness In some lines, due In part to unseason­ able weather and In some instances to the continued quarantine of yellow fever dis­ tricts. Some Jobbers at cities which supply southern merchants have delayed sendIng out travelers'and in Instances have called travelers home. Mercantile collec­ tion* are slower, filling in orders are small and more Infrequent and business In staple lines for the latter half of October, aside from that In wool and metals, has been somewhat disappointing. R. G. Dun <t Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: "The testing of retail trade Is In prog­ ress. but results lire remarkably retarded by long-continued mild weather and also by the fever In southern districts. Even from that quarter some large orders lately received show better distribution than was yet expected. Tn spite of unseasonably warm weather, which greatly hinders re­ tail dealings In winter goods at all points east of tho plains, the large number of supplementary orders with urgent pres­ sure for quick delivery make It cfcar that the sales In many branches have exceeded the expectation of dealers. »o that re­ plenishment of stock Is not yet finished. Meanwhile wholesale trade and orders to manufacturers have been smaller than when the rush was greatest, but have nev­ ertheless been large tor this stage, even In a year of general prosperity, for the payments through the principal clearing houses have for the Week been 8.9 per cent larger than in the same week ot 1892. and for the month 6.1 per cent. "Failures for the week have been 219 In the United States, against S70 last year. and 25 In Canada, against W last year." ; Henry George was bom on September J. 1K9.

There will be a great deal of the old talk about the blessings of bimetallism this year. Now, tbe fact is that the United States is already the greatest bimetallic country in-the world except France. That is to say, while maintain­ ing the gold standard of values, we use as money in this country more silver than is used in any other civilized coun­ try in the world except France. The silver men do not want bimetal llsm. Their scheme does not look to that end. They demand a cheaper kind of .money than gold standard money. This they expect to secure by forcing this country down to a silver basis, so we shall be not a bimetallic nation, but a monometallic nation, using silver as our only metallic money. This is the condition of Mexico to-day, and it is held up to us by the silver men as the ideal situation.-^-Sound Mon eq-. j ONLY Sterling, Crawford & Co Bargain Grocers.

LUCK.- One of the interesting developments of the campaign which is now very near its close ia the absolute disap­ pearance of the silver issue. One year ago it was the leading feature In the campaign. Three man tbs ago it was determined by the silver leaders that it must be the leading issue in the esmpaign of 1897 wherever state and local campaigns were to be made. In Ohio, ia Iowa, in Kentucky and in sundry other states it was made the leading, it may be said, the chief feature of the democratic platform in 5897. In Mary­ land, the astute Gorman, seeing the turn of public sentiment against the is­ The expectation of those who delayed the passage of the Dingley bill, that the obstructive podicy would have the effect of keeping government receipts under it at a low figure for a long time, is not likely to be realized. Receipts are grow­ ing in a gratifying manner and officers of the treasury declare thpt the falling off of revenue during the present fiscal year will be far less than was estimated when the bill became a-daw.

In New York it was adopted by a segment of the democracy. In Massachusetts the George Fred Wil­ liams element of the democrats adopted it. In Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, Iowa, Nebraska and other states it was made, as already indicated, the chief, and in many cases, the sole iasue of the state platform. All this happened within the past four months: In that period the democratic conventions in a half dozen leading cities in the union made the free and unlimited coinage of silver the chief fea­ ture of their platforms, and in every state adopted declarations which point­ ed in that direction to say -the least. Within 30 days of that action on their part the republican congress passed the Dingley protective tariff law, a repub­ lican president signed it, and it became the law of the land. What was the result? Factories started up all over the United States. Where thousands and hundreds of thou­ sands of men were unemployed, where labor had been without occupation, sud­ denly the smoke of factories made its appearance, the busy hum of industry was heard, laboring men by the hun­ _____ , employment, dreds____________________ of thousands found the demand for the tne products of ox the me farm xarm increased, Increawd, and prosperity proaperity prevailed prevailed among 'imnnrr not nnt only Anlv the tho laboring I fi lm ri n men tup n in<the in the $ DUST is sold everywhere.

Dear Sir:—Permit ma to correct a state­ ment in your paper of Oct. 28, which does great Injustice to the State Board of Health, and on which you must have been misin­ formed. The article implies that it Is one of the duties of the State Bo--d of Health to, analyze foods - and othu substances. The fact is that It has no laboratory what­ ever, Furthermore the State has a De­ partment with a laboratory, especially pro­ vided to look after foods, namely the office of the State Dairy and Food Commissioner, at Lansing. Again, the State has con­ structed a State Laboratory of Hygiene, at the Michigan University, for the purpose of supplying a place where sanitary anal­ ysis may be at cost, the theory seeming to be that after the State has supplied the laboratory and expert analysts, unless a locality has sufficient interest In the anal-1 yste to pay the further cost, probably It need not be made. The last legislature passed a law which requires the regents of the University to cause tc be made, at cost to any locality.—analysis of drinking water. The idea, conveyed In your paper, that the State Board of Health, or any one con­ nected with It, had requested ten dollars from Dr. Lowry for any purpose whatever Is absolutely untrue. I trust yon will let this communication make the proper correction. Very respectfully, Henby Bi Baker, Secretary. . At the Methodist church next Sunday services as usual.

Dear sir: Yours of the 21st just for­ warded to me, 1 am very busy Iu the city at present aud cannot see you in person as I will not be Iu Michigan for some time. I have written to my partner Dr. C. M. Tower to call on you for me, and you can let him know at Hastings if you wish him to come. He is perfectly competent and has been practicing with me continually for five years past and thoroughly under­ stands all my methods and treatments, so be can give you as* much benefit as I could myself. He is a graduate of tbe National Insti­ tute and will tell you just what needs to be done, and what can be done. As be te also away most of the time it will be nec­ essary for you to make a date with him and then be can tell you when be can come and then you can meet hl*.

He could probably come to'see you about tbe 28th of Aug. or there about from what'l know but be can tell you. Dr. L. N. Mixer. LETTER NO. 2. The following letter was written after C. M. Tower returned from Chicago. L. N. Mixer was in Hastings at the time it was written: . I fought their base purposes at a large ex­ pense and thwarted tbelr selfish plans. The Influence exercised over my father, | its selfishness of purpose. Is no where shown better than in this mean attempt to deprive my father ot his individuality and self control. And yet the Tower faction have the audacity to declare in all tbelr bogus letters and advertisements dver Dr. L. N. Mixer’s signature he personally at­ mentioned.

A. Well, since be commenced to rake hold of it, 1 presume he has depetent . But for the influence of this faction and the selfishness of C. M. Tower there would still be only the kindest feeling on the part of my father toward me. “DR. L. N. MIXER’S OWN STATEMENT” REFUTED. In thte alleged statement it te claimed over tbe signature of my fs)|ier, that 1 sur­ reptitiously secured to myself a Trade Mark on his (father’s) portrait. I assert that a more wicked untruth was never told and will bring my father to prove that statement 1s a wicked, malicious lie. In. the public records of the County Clerk’s office will be found my father’s testimony in tbe suit against C. M. Tower. Let L. N. Mixer on the witness stand, under oath tell the facts—and here they are as he told then.. Question. You knew at the time your son obtained this Trade Mark? You knew at the time he was obtaining it through the Patent office? Answer. I did. Ques. You knew he was getting a Trade Mark? Ans. Yes. sir. Ques. And you and be had an understanding about that? Aus. We had. Thte proves that my father un­ der oath, affirmed that he did know 1 was getting tbe Trade Mark and that we had an understanding about IL That does not look as if the Trade Mark was surreptiti­ ously obtained does it? To further prove that thte charge is un­ truthful I will bring the Trade Mark Itaelf to witness. The true copy of tbe Trade Mark 1 will leave In John BoMmer’a i show case thte week. It beiin the triona­ ture qf C. M. Tower as s witness, that proves bls full knowledge of tbe matter. I will further state that at tbe time I was getting tbe Trade Mark I was on the road and all mail from Washington pertaining to the Trade Mark came to Hastings and was examined by the family members of the family receiving papers from and de­ livering papers to Judge Clement Smith, who procured tbe Trade Mark. To show that I have not in any way wronged my father but on tbe other hand, have done what I could to help him, I give below copies of three notes having a total of 8870.00 from him to me and bis testi­ mony elsewhere in this article in tbe case against Tower, will prove that be never paid a cent of principle or interest on "" mH mrtlM will j!,, to op, p,^,, mm, elite, bmnrv |p wrltl to ■MmfiBtareBM1BedWne()rtnii^iil an, manner whttooevrr the Trad- Mlrt l’,,, anti all rlrht. and prtvlle.e, Wo„s, u tte mbh atell be and teaaln toe W|t propertj of said partnership. 7.

RSAO WHAT THtM PATKMT* Mil “ in’ me isoiarrna cn turn xuuunutm scouting business, when, as often hap­ pens, on© officer is out alone for weeks with no comrades or associates but his detachment, it naturally results that a greater freedom c! intercourse and speech is developed between the com­ mander and some, at least, of his party than would ever be the case in years of garrison life; and so it happened that for the moment Drummond forgot the commander in the man. “It is most extraordinary,’’ he said, ‘that just when a paymaster is anxious to keep secret the date and route of his coming the whole thing is heralded ahead. We have no telegraph aud yet three days ago we knew that Major Plummer was starting on his first trip. He ought to have l>een at Ceralvo’s last night. By Jupiter I suppose he was —and had but a small escort? What else could that signal fire mean? Here! get those men out to the front now at once; we must push ahead for all we’re worth.’’ \ And so at midnight, with steeds i»anting and jaded, with the pass and the Picacho only four miles ahead, the little detachment was tripping noise­ lessly through the darkness, and, all (ilert and eager, Drummond was riding midway between his scouts and the mam body so that no sound close at hand might distract his attention from hails or signals farther out. Suddenly he heard an exclamation ahead, the snort of a frightened horse, then some muffled objurgations, a rider urging a reluctant steed to approach some suspicious ob­ ject, and, spurring his own spirited charger forward, Mr. Drummond came presently upon the corporal just’ dis­ mounting in the darkness and striving to lead his Ixxm companion, whom he could not drive, up to some dark object lying on the plain. This, too, failed. A lbw whistle, however, brought one of the other scouts trotting in to the res- 1 . I ' ' ! | J ' ' j . A nurtch wu struck and burned brightly in thcblaey a^i hrejtthlABa.nlaht trooper’beaded his fleeing steed in that direction? Had there been pursuit? Aye, 10 minutes’ search ovur the still and desolate plain revealed tho fact that two horsemen lurking in a sand pit or dry arroyo had pushed forth at top speed and ridden away full tilt across the desert, straight as the crow flies, toward Moreno’s well. Even while Drummond, holding brief consul­ tation with hie sergeant, was deliberat­ ing whether to turn thither or to push for the signal peak and learn what he could from the little squad of blue jackets there on duty, the matter was decided for him. Sudden and shrill there came the cry from the outskirts of the now dismounted troop clustered about tbe tody of their comrade. “Another fire, lieutenant! Look!— out here toward the Santa Maria.” The. sergeant sprang to his feet, shouldering his burly way through tho excited throng. One moment more and his voice was heard in louder, fiercer tones; “No'signr.l thia time, sir. By God, they’ve fired Moreno’s ranch!” “Tb# majet sent Donovan with half ths escort liack to the GiU on an Apache Boars this morning. They will prob­ ably return your way, empty handed.

It’s my belief they’ve gone there.” Tbis was signed by Feeny and over and again had Wing been speculating as to what it all meant. When the es­ cort with the ambulance and paymaster went through before the dawn, Feeny had roused him to ask if anything had been heard of Indians on the warpath between them and the Sonora line, and the answer was both prompt and posi­ tive, “No.” As for their being north or north of west of his station, and up toward the Gila, Wing scouted the sug­ gestion. He wished, however, that Jackson were back with such tidings as he had picked up at Ceralvo’s. It was always best to I* prepared, even though this was some distance away from the customary raiding ground of the tribe Just then there camo a nail from aloft. Pikey was shouting. “All right,” answered Wing cheer­ ily; “be there in a minute,” and then he went springing up the trail as though tho climb of 400 feet were a mere bag­ atelle. , ■ "What’s up? Jackson here?” hq asked, short of breath, as ho reached the little nook in which their brush covered tents were pitched. There was no re­ ply. "Pike! OPike! Where are you?” be called.

Probably a quarter mile away a dim light as of a swing­ ing lantern could be seen following the winding of the rough and rock.ribbed road. Then camo tho click.of iroushod hoofs, the crack of the long mule whip, Spanish and s resonant imprecation in ‘ ~ * * leveled at the invisible draft animats. Bounding lightly down the southward path. Sergeant Wing _ soon reached the roadside, and there found Pike in converse with a brace of horse­ men. “It’s old Harvey’s outfit, from Yuma, making for Moreno's, ” vouchsafed the soldier. “Oh, is that you, Sergeant Wing? I ought to have known you were here. I’m Ned Harvey.” And the taller horseman held out a hand, which W'ing grasped and shook with cordial fervor. “Which way, Mr. Harvey, and who are with you?” “ Homo to Tucson. My sisters are in Concord behind uh, going to visit the old folks for a few weeks before their trip to Cuba.” “You don’t tell me!” exclaimed Wing. "They’re the first ladies to pass through here since I came on duty at the station two months ago. You stay at Moreno’s, I suppose?” . “Yea; the governor meets ns there with relays and four or five men. We knew there would bo no danger west of the Santa Maria.” "W-e-1-1, did you stop at Ceralvo’s or see any of their people?” “No, I never put in there. Father’s very suspicious of that gong. Why do you ask. though?” Wing hesitated. "There was some story afloat about Apaches, ” he finally said. "The paymaster’s escort threw CHAPTER HI.

This is often very slight or remote, and sometimes may not develop at all in one generation, but breaks out in a serious disease later. Cancer, the most dreadful of all dis­ eases, is often the result of some blood taint inherited from generations back. It often appears as a mere mole or in­ significant pimple, which later develops into an alarming condition. No one knows but that he may be subject to an inherited impurity iu the blood, nor can he tell whether or not this may some day crop out in the form of destructive cancer. It is, therefore, important that any little sore or scratch, which dots not readily heal, be given prompt atten­ tion, or a serious condition may result. Mr. Robert Smedley, of Ocala, Fla.', was the victim of a malignant cancer, which first appeared in the ^manner above described. He writes: \ “At first I paid no attention io the little blotches on wy face, thinking they •would soon pass away. Before long> however, they became sore, and soon began to enlarge. I applied ordinary local remedies, but they had no effect, and I then consulted a physician. When oc xojo me I had cancer, I became alarmed and hastenc-u to obtain treat- j ment for I knew how dangerous cancer was. , “I received the best medical atten­ tion, but the cancer continued to grow worse until the physicians finally said that I would hare to ' have an operation performed, us that was the only hope for me. This I re­ fused to submit to, as I knew cancer was a blood disease, and my common sense told me that it was folly to expect an operation to cure a blood disease. “Knowing S. S. S. to be a good blood remedy I decided to try it, and the first bottle produced an improvement. I continued the mediciqe, and iu four months the last scab dropped off. Ten years have elapsed, and not a sign of the disease has returned.” The alarming increase in the number trf deaths which occur as the result of a surgical operation is attracting general attention, and astrong sentiment against such methods of treatment is fast de­ veloping among the most intelligent classes. It seems that in almost every case where the doctors’ treatment is unsuccessful, the learned physicians de­ cide at once that an operation must be performed, and the keen blade of the surgeon ia recklessly resorted to. The many caustic-plasters which are applied to remove cancers are more pain­ ful than death, and the danger of a sur­ gical operation is as great as the disease Itself. No plaster or surgical oper­ ation can cure cancer, because it is a blood disease; the destructive cancer cells are in the blood, aud cannot be cut ont, or removed by local treatment As the disease must be forced from the blood, it is only reasonable to rely upon a real blood remedy for a cure, on® which goes direct to the cause pf the trouble and removes it. 8. 8. 8.

Aunt Gertrudo left me a trine of money for my name, and I put it out at interest, and in 20 years it bought me this house, this garden, this little orchard of peach and pear and plum and apple trees, this pasture, this cow and this grapevine. And I'^o got what I had be-1 couldn’t hnve done that if I’d married. Yes, I used to think it hard times when Geoffrey Masters led me such a dance, making my heart beat so I was afraid he’d see it, and then going away the Lord knows where without a word when I'd all but made up my mind to marry him. But I’m sure it was a merciful escape. “Yes, those were cruel days. Don’t tell me about old fools! There's no fool like a young fool! And that man made me suffer once. Yes, be did. It gives me a sinking now to remember the nights I used to watch for him and he didn’t come. I never could liear to look at the stars on a clear winter's night since! Humph— yes—well, we do outgrow things. If we live long enough, and that’s a reason for thanksgiving, I’m sure. Yes, I'm an old mold, and I’m thankful for IL I've often said I wouldn't marry the best man liv­ ing; I wouldn’t many the pope of Rome himself if he was to ask me. I’m my own property, and everything about me is my own, and I can give away a dollar without asking. Jane can’t. Look at Jane—she can't say her soul's her own. And yet when she waa at home she used to rule all the rest of us children with a rod of iron. And now she says to Jalred, 'Dear, I think I’ll go down town today if you’ll let me have the horse. ’ And he says: ’Can’t have thd horse. What you want down town? Always gadding. Place for a woman's home—enough to do at home. Stay at hemal’ And she's staid at home till everything's so blue she can’t see it. People thought Jane waa doing great things when she married Jaired— splendid farm, wood lota, bank stack, a bene and chaise and a herd at Jerseys and she's never had a cent to spend from that day to thia, for he took v« hat belonged to her and looked it up with his for tbe children. I don’t suppose she could get it; ff she made a row, bat nobody wants hot water all tbe time, and she wears a eslioo 1 -and I wear alpaca, and I don’t know tho . day she's had a new bonnet. “And look at Eerie-just the nresteri, j softest hearted girl that ever lived, and . she's never had " *■ except the little "Do you drink?" said she, gazing stead­ ily into the fin* ’•About ns much as you do. I supporw. I like brandy In my mince plea. though.” And then then* came a laugh into his eyes, and he leaned forward and tilted up her chin. "Look at me, Trudy,” said he. “Do you mean to take me, after all?’’ "I don't know but I do, Geoff," said she, "I guess I should do as well aa the others have done If 1 did. And. my good­ ness, there's the minister! I’d most forgot. He always comes for his chickens and married life before that baby came had been just a slavery to his folks, the old fa­ ther and mother who gave him the place if he'd take care of them, and they saw to It that he did, and that she did too. They just walked right over her and sat down on her, and she was soft enough to cry got nothing. I’m nobody, but we might be happy yet. ’’ when they died. "With a sort of afternoon happiness,” ‘ "And there's another thing, I’m sure— I'm sure it’s a reason for thanksgiving, if said Miss Trudy, swallowing a sob. "We can go down hill together.

I couldn’t despise him any And then there was a bustling noise of more than I do! Humph! Yes—well, welcome m the minister and his wife came Harry Farnsworth 1 And there’s my other sister, Louisa.

He was the most engaging fellow And handsome, too—handsome ns an archan­ gel, his great blue eyes full of heavenly light, and his yelkrw hair in masses, and his face as if it waa cut out of marble, and when I looked at him I aiwtqp thought of the morning star. And people said he waa going to be anything be chose—min­ ister, senator, president And he bad a little something, and they got married. And she was in this world or the next. And so was he.

J. B. LEWIS CO’S Tbe democratic press and the disap­ pointed democratic office huntera and campaign managers areotill atit. They are busy ai bees in their contemptible efforts to defeat Senator Hanna within hia own petty, having failed signally to accomplish! that end before the. people at large, j In order io make possible the succeaa of their malicious attacks, and taking desperate chances on stirring up suffi­ cient strife in republican ranks to give them leverage, these democratic de­ signers spread abroad stories of discord, and tell of secret opposition and under­ ground platting against the candidacy of Senator Hanna. They drag in the name of pov» Bushnell, and insult him by offering to make him the bene­ ficiary of n deal between alleged dis­ gruntled republicans and a debased and defeated democracy. It ia alvfiays well to regard with sus­ picion the (Stories of the enemy and the overtures they make with those stories as a basis. The tales they tell can be passed over without controversy. Their truth or filsity does not materially af­ fect the real point at issue. Senator Hanna ia the choice of the re­ publicans of Ohio to fill out the unex­ pired term of Senator Sherman, and then to succeed himself. That fact was established by his indorsement by a unanimous vote in the state convention at- Toledo.! It was ratified In unquali­ fied terms jby the vote of‘the people at An army of SJK men will satisfy Gen. Nelson A. Miles. but a standing force of 70,000 will not more than satisfy him.

It is tnie, bnt it ia enodgh. In Maryland, where they ahouldhave been diaaatroutly beaten, they won by a substantial majority. There is certainly auch a thing aa luck in politics,and it usually favors the republicans." Republican success ia attributed by the democrats to “luck.” The fact is apparent, how­ ever, to democrats as well as to every­ body else tljat the net result of. the election ia a republican triumph. Seldom in the country’s history has the party which controls the adminis­ tration gained such a victory, in the first year of the administration’s exist­ ence as the republicans did in the elec­ tions, two weeks ago. In the important and typical state of Ohio, for example, tbe democrats have often won in the year immediately following the presi­ dential election ever since the war, and when, in those instances, the republic­ ans carried that state, their lead was small. In 1897, however, Bushnell’s plurality was 28,000 in the face of the desperate and unscrupulous attempts of the democracy to run the margin down to small figures, or to abolish it, as a “rebuke to the administration.” In the face of such formidable obstacles heretofore the republicans have gen­ erally lost Ohio. Their triumph this year," and by such a large plurality, ia a significant indication of the hold which the republican party has on the country’s confidence. Thus the republicans will enter the congressional campaign next year un­ der highly encouraging conditions. They have been Victorians under cir­ cumstances which often, brought dis­ aster heretofore, and t>eir opponents attribute this triumph to “luck.” Some­ thing better and more trustworthy than “luck" is accountable, of course, for the victory. Merit gained it, and merit can be relied on to give the coun­ try to the republicans in the congres­ sional canvass. The party’s chances, to be sure, are largely dependent on the conduct of congress during the ap­ proaching session, but os the repub­ lics^ leaders are aw*re of thr responsi­ bility attaching to them in this respect congress is likely, between this time and the election, to help and not hinder the party. The political skies are bright for the republicans. No state which they carried for president in 1896 .would go against them at the present time if a presidential election were held now ex­ cept Kentucky, while the recent repub­ lican -revolution in Kansas and South Dakota shows that large gaina far the party in the west would probably be made. The reaction which generally hits the party in power in the congres­ sional elections which, occurs midway in the administration Is likely to skip the republicans in 1898.—St, Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Milwaukee Sentinel takes us to task for saying that PresidentilcKinley came in with, an implied promise to reform the currency. “Read the re­ publican platform forward aud back­ ward," it says, “read Mr. McKinley’s lette^ceepting the republican nomina­ tion, read the speeches of the most dis­ tinguished republican orators, and you •will .not be able to find this implied prorriisc.” We do not need to read the republican platform backward. For­ ward is good enough for us, particular­ ly the following paragraph: "AH our silver and paper currency must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain In­ violable the obligations of-the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth." “To favor all measures designed to maintain,”etc, implies that some meas­ ures are needed, aud necessarily these must be measures of reform. Not only did Mr. McKinley come in with thia implied promise, but he made a more explicit one in his first inewRage to con­ gress when he said: "Our financial system needs some revi­ sion. Our mdney Is all good now. but. Its value must not be further threatened. It should be put on an enduring basis not subject to easy attack nor Its stability to doubt or dispute. The several forms of our paper money offer, in my judgment, a con­ stant embarrassment to the government and Imperil a safe balance In the treasury." That Mn McMnl^y understood that he was under something more than an implied promise of this wrt may be inferred from his special message to congress on the 21th of July last, in whiqh, after reiterating what he had said in his first annual message, he went on to say: "I therefore urgently recommend that a special commission be created, non-partisan In Its character, to be composed ot well-in­ formed cltixens of different parties, who will command the confidence of congress end tbe country because of their speclsl fit­ ness for the work, whose duty ft shall be to make recomm end st ions of whatever changes la our present Leaking and cur­ rency laws may be foiled necessary and ex­ pedient, and repbrt their conclusions on or before the 1st day of November next la FBUBXTB ORDER.

(Swift’• Specific) are made bv those whom it has cured, and after all the moat valuable reputation is-ooe which is given by those who speak from experience. We could publish a page of what we claim S.S.S. will do, but the people prefer to read of what it has done, and hence we give the testimony of reputable, well-known people in different parts of the country, who gladly tell of how S.S.S. has cured them of blood diseases, after trying other treatment iu vain. .No wonder S.S.S. has such staunch friends. The experience of those who take it to-day will be the same as of those who twenty .years ago found it the only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate, and cannot be cured by one medicine in a dozen which claims to cure them; so when S.S.S. is taken with satisfactory results, after a disappointing experi­ ence with other remedies, it is not strange that it has grateful friends by the score. \y/ • Mr. William Sowers, of Bradford, Ohio, was cured by S.S.S. ten years ago of a severe blood poison, and writes that to this day no sign of the dreadful disease has ever returned. He says: “I had a terrible blood disease which is considered incurable, and was treated for a long time by the best physicians, but they did me no good. The disease seemed to get a firmer hold on me, and attacked my tongue and throat, which were soon full of vile ulcers. “I changed doctors several times, and afterwards took nearly every blood rem­ edy on the market, without the slightest benefit. After five years of treatment which did me no good whatever, I was induced to try S.&S. This remedy proved itself equal to the case, for in a few months I was entirely cured and my akin was perfectly clear and smooth. I could hardly believe that the cure was permanent, but ten years have elapsed and no sign of the disease has yet ap- ®®[p&o (BDofflipDes KBungj ■ i i . * | ' "Friends.’’ “ Who are you and where from ?"

We were delayed by Apache signs in the Santa Maria. The rest are some miles behind with relay mules. Are we near the ranch ? What's that light out to the west?" “Never mind that now. Dismount and come up alone, Mr. Harvey. I must recognize you. first. ’ Feeny wanti^d to gain time. His brain was whirling. Here was partial confirmation iff the story told by the alleged Ned Harvey in the morning. Here was the father coming with guard aud relay mules to meet fats children just as their morning visitor declared he was expected to do. 7 Was it possible after all that the tale was true—that —-U were ->«» there U.U- at the <»« vrjm, the v... children Gila, making a wide detour around Ceralvo*. and taking the northward route around that ill favored ranch ? If so, what awful tidings had he to •'bi^ak! Stout soldier that he was, Feeny felt that ho was trembling from head^to foot. Up “There’s no Irishman in all the Moralee gang,” laughed the coming man, “and I know u cavalryman's challenge when I hear it and so honor it at once. Where are you, sentry?” ’ ’ Here; this way. ’ ’ answered Feeny, standing erect and peering sharply through the gloom. “I’ve never met you, Mr. Harvey, but we all know you by reputation. Just tell me your busi­ ness and how you happen to be riding the desert this time of night and then I’ll tell yon why I ask." “lam expecting my son and daugh­ ters coming up from Yuma We were to meet at Moreno's this evening, but a scouting party in the mountains warned us to hide until night, so we’re late.

They would hardly venture across, knowing what that means. ” ’’Why, my God, man!” exclaimed Harvey, “that says the Apachee are out west of the Santa Maria or the Christ obal.

Up through the gloom strode a tall figure, fearless and confident. of the ranch, clinging tp tfro horse rail for support, listening with gasping breath to Plummer’s faltering recital of the events of the morning. "Are you sure it was my son—my Ned ?” he moaned. • “I never saw him before, Mr. Har­ vey, but some of my men were sure, and old Moreno here”------The wooden shutter behind them swung open. From the inner darkness Moreno’s voice, tremulous with’sym­ pathy and distress, fell upon their ears. “Seuor Harvey, my heart bleeds for you. 1 aaw him but an instant, but it was he—Benor Edward, your eon. ’’ “God.of heaven! And your men have “Northeast, toward the Christobal?” “Yes, but stop one moment now and look at this note. Is it your son’s writ­ ing?’’ And Plummer produced the crumpled page while Feeny held the light Feverishly Harvey examined the scrawl, hia hand trembling so hard he could not steady the jteper. “It is like enough, ’' he moaned. “It was written in such mad haste. My horse I” he cried, “and you oome with me, George. Send the ethers on our trail as soon as they get in. Give me another pistol if you can, I have but one. and in God’s name order along Then in lees than a minute even the galloping hoofs had muffled their dull thunder in the darkness and distance. With wild dread spurring him on, toe him. When so old an inhabitant of Ar| iaona as Mr. Harvey gave entire creI deuce to the report, recognized the note j M really his son’s handiwork and has­ tened at all speed to overtake the pur­ ' suers, what room for doubt could be left in the mind of a newcomer to the soil? It was time, thought Plummer, to form an alliance, offensive and defen­ sive, with the Mexican denizens of the •ranch against the enemy common to both. But again Feeny shook his head in solemn protest. " 1 may have l>een wrong ns to the Apaches, sir, but 1 can’t be mistaken as to Moreno. He’s in the pay of the Morales brothers, even if not an active member of the gang. He is lurking in there now, I’ll warrant you. with two or three of them in hiding, waiting for the coining of the main body. They’d ’a’ been here before this jx'rhape if it hadn’t been for the Apache story. Thev’re more afraid of one of Cochise’s band than of all tho sheriffs from Tuc­ son to Tacoma. 1 wish the rest of Har­ vey’s people would get here,” he con­ tinued. looking longingly out into the darkness. “Unless they are of better j stuff than tnost of these, mule whackeru in the territory, you won’t catch them hustling out alone trying to find their master this night. And yet What use would they be to us?” Plummer turned anxiously away and gave himself up to thought Nothing but a faint glimmer now remained ot the beacon light. All was still as the grave about the lonely ranch. Walkirg | over to the eastward door, he entered tho dark room and was instantly hailed by the voice of Iris clerk. ■ ‘You’re there, are you. Dawes?" he , asked. "Not getting sleepy, 1 hope." | "Not u whit major. I couldn't, even 1 if i hadn’t alept most of the day. I'm sitting here on the safe with a Colt’s six shooter in each hand. If old Moreno’s door cracks, by gad! 1’11 let drive.” ' Well, that's all right. lAit suppose they come around through tho corral to this door?” . “I’m ready. 1 came within an ace of blazing away at you, but I happened to recognize your figure and step just in the nick of time. ” A low whistle without broke up the colloquy. Plunimer waddled off in the direction of the sound. . “What is it, sergeant?" “They’re coming. sir. ’ ’ Harvey ” *" ’s men, I mean. , Will you deliver his message?” Why 'shouldn’t “Just as you say. you?” “It’ll have so much more effect from your lips, major. They may misdoubt me- ” J Far out on the trail the quick trip­ ping hoofs of mules could now be heard. Presently a horseman shot up out of the gloom. “Halt there!" sang out Feeny. "Whose party’s this?” “Harvey’a Tucson. Looking for Moreno’s. Are we near?” “Yen’re there now, but you can’t stop. Mr. Harvey wants you to come right along after. him. He has taken the trail to the Christobal, where the Indians have carried off his daughters. ” The man fairly reeled rin his saddle, shocked at the dreadful tidings. “When? How did it happen? Who’s gone with him?" “Some time this morning, from all wo can learn. Two squads of cavalry are on the trail, one with Ned Harvey, the other just out from here at dark. The old man and George followed them as soon as they got in. Who’s with you?” "Two Mexicans, that’s all. They’re : no account. I’d best leave them here with the mules. They’re just behind I and have been scared to death already. ” | And so in 10 minutes two more of tho low c.iste half breed Mexicans were | added to the paymaster ’s „ garrison, and , _______ ______ _ ____ I.-.I^» exposition '.I Sergeant Feeny's brief of ' j the situation at the ranch only delayed the incoming American long enough to water iris horse and stow a little grain in a sack. "I wouldn’t wonder a d------- d bit if the Morales gang were around here, ” was his discomforting assurance. ‘ ’ None of ’em have been seen about Tucson for a week before we left Wish I could stay and stand by you, but my first duty is with Mr. Harvey. I’ve been in his employ nigh onto eight years. ” “ What sort of looking man is Ned Harvey?" i^eraisted the sergeant still hopeful of some fraud. “Tall, dark, smooth face—looks like a Spaniard, almost. I never saw any­ body who resembled him hereabouts. I’m afraid it’s do plant I don’t want to offend you, sergeant but 1 wish to God it was all the Morales gang’s do­ ings and that it was only your money they were after. If it’s Apaches, and they have got the old man’s children, he’ll never get over it ” “By heaven!” muttered Feeny to himself, as the loyal fellow put spurs to his hone and disappeared; ‘ ’ by heav­ en, I begin to believe it’s both.” And now With gloomy face the ser­ geant returned to where ho had left trail. A brief word at the doorway aatnxred him the clerk was still alert and high above the ground, of the room where slept Moreno’s wife and daugh­ ter, if they slept at all, told him that all was silence there, if' not slumber, and then he joined his superior. “That fellow was of the right sort, sergeant, ’ ’ said Plummer. ” I wish we had one or two like him. ” era are worse than no guards at alt They’ll sit there in the ©orral and smoke papelitoa by the hour and brag about bow they fought their way through the Apaches with Harvey’s mulee, but for 1 have felt sure some one were pounding on a wagon tire.

If those fellows mean to attack, they’ll come mounted, of course, but what wagon would they have?” “One of Ceralvo’• perhaps, to cart off the safe in, if they couldn’t burst into ’’There! Hark now/sergean11 Didn’t you hear?” suddenly spoke the major, intently. For a moment nothing but the beating of their own hearts served to give the faintest sound. Then, out to the west, under the starlit vault of the heavens, somewhere in that black ex­ panse of desert, plainly and distinctly, there rose the measured sound of iron or stone beating on iron. Whether it were tire or linchpin, hame or brake, something metallic about a wagon or buckboard was being pounded into place or shape. “It's them, sir. ’’ muttered the ser­ geant. “It’s that bloody gang, for there’s no stage due tonight, and if it was Harvey's ambulance, recaptured, ’tis from the northeast it would be com­ ing.” “Mightn’t thqy have missed the trail in the darkness, and having no ranch lights to guide them got lost somewhere out there?” “Not likely, sir. Shure, there’d be a squad of the troops and half a dozen old hands with ’em if it was Harvey's. This has come from the pass, and it won’t be long before they’ll be coming ahead. You’ll need your carbine then. ,D—n that man Mullan! Can’t 1 wake him yet?” • Apparently not. Even the well di­ rected kick only evoked a groan. Tak­ ing a couple of carbines, Feeny returned to the major, silently handing him one of the weapons', saying,” It’s loaded, sir, and here’s more cartridges. ” Thofi again both men listened in­ tently. No sound now. The hammering had ceased. One, two minutes they wait­ ed, then nearer at hand than before, clear, sharp and distihet, out from the darkness camo the unmistakable crack of a whip. At tho Bound Feeny knelt Click, click! went tho hammer of his carbine to full cock. Another moment of breathless silence. Then the muffled sound of hoofs, tho creak of wagon springs, then a voice: “It can’t be far away. Ride ahead and see if you can’t rout somebody out.” . AmJ then Feeny’e challenge again rang out on the still night air, followed instantly by muffled sound of stir and excitement in the ranch behind them. “Who comes there?” “Hello! What’s that? Who’s that? Is that Moreno?” “ Who comes there, Isay? Halt! or I’ll fire!” “For God’s sake, don’t fire, man! .We’vogot ladies here.” , "What ladies? Who are you any­ how? Quick!” “George Harvey’s daughters of Tuc­ son. I’m his son." “God be praised!” shouted Feeny, springing to his feet and riishing for­ ward. ’' Are they all safe—unharmed ? Where did you overtake them?" “Overtake whom? What iu blast® are you talking about ?” queried a tall, slender fellow, bending down from his saddle. “Who are you?” “Sergeant Feeny of the cavalry, and here’s the major just back of mej’ “Major who?” “Major Plummer—him you was talk­ ing with this morning when you came for h61p,” answered Feeny, his voice tremulous with excitement. Already be was beginning to see light “Why, I’ve never seen Major Plum­ mer nor any other major today. The only troops I met werq Sergeant Wing and his guard at the pass just after nightfall. Have you met the Apaches? You saw the signal of course. ” * “Signal, yes, but devil an Apache. Tell me now, wasn’t it you was here at Moreno's this morning begging for troops to go and fetch your ladies down from the Gila? Wasn’t it you sent the note saying they was run off by In­ dians?” And as was the case when­ ever excited, Feeny’s grammar ran to “Not a bit of it. My sisters are here, safe and sound. We’d have been here an hour ago but for slipping a tire. Is father here?” “Talk to him, major. I’m done up entirely,” was all poor Feeny could say, as between relief, rejoicing »nd the inestimable comfort of finding he was right in his theories, after all, be drop­ ped his carbine, throw himself upon the soft, sandy ground and fairly rolled over and over in* his excitement end emotion. What wondering eyes, what startled ears were at the wagon doorway as, in his ponderous manner, the major en­ deavored to tell of the morning’s adven­ ture and the counterfeit presentment of tho Nod Harvey now before him. Long before he could finish the thoughtful son begged an instant’s interruption. “And father has gone on tho trail to the Christobal?” stampeding out into the darkness, and that’s the last we’d see of them.

Word. =====-----NO FAILURE OF THE TARIFF, Evidently Enpeeted. Tne member of congress from—I »on'tUy where, Mv, M writcr in “ashingfcn Dost—is the klndesthMHetl fello* slice. He was going home very late , few nights hc ways, when he met a young man whom he knows. The ".young man was hope­ lessly drunk. The congressman hap­ pened to know where he lived, and kindly guided him home. A light was burning in an upper window of the house, and the congressman had no sooner pulled the bell than the door Xaa flung open and a tall and vigor­ ous woman appeared. She said not a word, but she grabbed the intoxicated young man by the collar and gave him a shaking that fairly loosened his teeth in their sockets. Into the hall she shook him and slammed the door. The congressman was descending the steps when the door opened again and his ■friend flew out as if flung from a cata­ pult. He landed at the foot of the staift and the congressman picked him up. He was very much frigbxened and he was almost sober. He managed to gasp out: “We don’t live here. We—we moved last week." That’s all the congressman’s story, but I think the really interesting tiling would be to know what happened to the man who does live there. The partisan critics of tbe Diagtey tariff law', by shutting their eves to every fact and consideration militating against their positions, succeed in con­ vincing themselves that the present deficti is a permanent one. and that the new rates forbid tbe hope of increased revenue. Some have actually suggested that the president ought in bis coming message to favor revision by congress of certain Dingley schedules. But the claim of the republican leader* that the deficiency is due solely-to anticipatory importations, finds striking, though in­ direct, corrobafration in the latest state­ ment touching our international trade relations. The low-tariff explanation of the figures in question will be studied w ith considerable curiosity. It is shown that our total exportations during the months of August. Septem­ ber and October exceed by about 20 per .cent.those of the corresponding months of the preceding year under the Wilson, law. The cry that the Dingily law would close the foreign markets against us is refuted by. the statistics showing a marked increase in our sales in every country of importance that has pro­ tested against our new schedules. The detailed statement is extremely I nstrue; five, but it can only be referred to here. Thus Germany, as is well known, has been greatly exercised over the alleged disastrous operation of the new tariff. TO A GOOD OLD AGE.

Who knows where the shad are befox e they begin to run up the rivers in the spring? The swordfish come to A merican waters grown up. Of course they vary in size, but no young are ever seen here. This fact has been clearly set out by a government report on the subject. The. young are found chiefly in the Mediterranean. After they are able to .go it alone more or less of them strike for the North American coast—moat of these gathering about Block island. There they lie and sun themselves on the top of the water, the prey all sum­ mer of the fishermmen and their spears. What instinct brings these fish across 3,000 miles of water to spend a season and return? They come when they arrive; they go when they leave.

In thia respect Hastings is Indeed most fortunate in having two banks, whose rlability is well known, and the character of whose officers and directon is such as to Inspire confidence. Both institutions survived the panic when banks were closing their doors all around us, and are stronger and better by reason of having passed through IL The National bank Is the older of tbe two, having really been started by tbe late A. J. Bowne and Fred Galloway. Tbe National has a capital of §100,000 and a surplus of 828,000. Its officer* and di­ rectors are:—Daniel Striker, Pres; John T. Lombard. Vice Pres; W. D. Hayes, Cashier aad H. G. Hayes, Ass't. Cashier. In addition to tbe first three above named Frank D. Pratt, of Middleville, and Jdo. F. Goodyear, are directors' The Hastings City bank was organized in 1886 by Clifford. D. Beebe and others, with 850,000.00 capital. Soon It was In­ creased to 875,000.00. In 1890 Messer Bros. & Reynolds and a few of their friends purchased Mr. Beebe’s Interest, and horn that day the bank has grown stronger and stronger. The City Bank not only adds to lu surplus each year, but pays a dividend on Ils stock. In addition to its *75.000.00 capital it has a surplus of 820,000.00, ' Its officers and directors are D. G. Robinson. Pres; Chester Messer, Vice Pres: Dgn W. Reynolds, Cashier; W. H. Power*, Ass’t Cashier. In addi­ tion to tbe above M. L. Cook, P, T. Oolgrove and R. B. Messer are Directors.

That state gave 9.000 re­ publican plurality this year, against a 13,000 democratic plurality in 1896.

The farmers west of the big river could easily make tbe exhibit During July, August and September eight ot tbe largest railroads in the coun­ try had increased earnings from one to two mlpion dollars each. This was only possible because of better business. Rail­ read men certainly have reason to rejoice because they voted for McKinley. Tbe past four years have not been with­ out tbelr valuable lessons. Everybody seems to be following the example set by the farmers, and using all surplus earnings to pay off Indebtedness. At tbe present time less of American securities are held abroad than at any time during the past 35 years. There has been a steady growth In R. R. earnings under tbe Dlngiey Ian.

With various changes, in different ways, the hotel finally came Into tbe possesion of N. T.

Tbe supervisors met In January, 1847, and decided to build another court house, to cost about 82200. On Apr. 28th tbe board adopted tbe plan of John Lewis, the price to be 82881.09, and the contract was let to Alvin Bailey. ' . April 30th of that year the supervisors resolved "that the court house to be built by A. W. Bailey be set directly south of the wsil on which the old court house stood, so that the north side of the bouse shall come within two feet of the south wall of the old house.” Mr. Bailey was allowed 8300 for extra work and 8300 fur furniture. In the summer of 1854 a brick jail was built where Philo Sheldon’s residence now stands. It Is interesting to note that of tbe committee of three appointed to pur­ chase a jail site, at least two of them are living, viz. Nathan Barlow and G. K. Beamer, both residents of this city. K. R. Carpenter was the other member. When tbe handsome new court house and jail were built tbe old court house was purchased by N. T. Parker and moved north of tbe Hastings bouse, where tbe old court room has been converted Into a hall, and the county officials offices are used as sample rooms. Tbe did jail was torn down and gave place to a handsome new resisence built by P. A. Sheldon. CENT OFF ON All DRY 600DS Not only on Wednesdays, but Every Day.

Growing worse and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual 'treatment of sprays, washes and inhalUn>r mixtures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local (applications which only reach the snrIface. The offensive discharge increases Sall the while, and gets deeper until it is (only a question ot a short time when ,the lungs ate affected. . The importance of the proper treat­ ment can therefore be readily appre­ ciated. But no good whatever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never frill. Being a blood disease of the most obstinate nature, Swift's Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy ■which can have the slightest effect upon Catarrh. It is the only blood remedy that goes down to the bottom of all stub­ born diseases which other remedies .cannot reach. Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West, g. c.. writes: . •I had such a severe case of Catarrh that I lost mv hearing in one ,e..r, and part of the bone in my nose slcughed off. I was constantly treated with sprays and washes, but each winter the disease seemed to have a firmer hold pn me. I had finally been declared incurable when I decided to try S. S. S. It seemed to get right at the seat of the disease, and cured me permanently, for I have had no touch of Catarrh for seven years.” The experience of Mr. Chas. A. Parr, of Athens, Ga., was like that of all others who vainly seek a cure in local treatment. He says; “For years I suffered from a severe case, of Catarrh, the many offensive symptoms being ac­ companied by severe pains in the Bead. I took several kinds of medicines recom­ ’ mended for Catr.rrh, and used various local applications, but they had no effect whatev­ er. I was induced to lake S. S. S. (Swift’s Specific) and after four months I was perfectly v. .11. and have never felt any effects of the disease since.” Jhose who have had the first toa huf Catarrh will sive endless suf­ fering by taking the right remedy at the outset. Others who have for years nought rdli. f and found only disappoint­ ment iu Local treatment will find it wise to waste no further time on sprays, washes, inhaling mixtures, etc., which are only temporary, and cannot save them irotu dreaded Consumption. They should lake a remedy which will cure them because it can reach their •trouble. S.S.S. is tbe only blood reme­ dy which can reach Catarrh; it promptly gets at tbe very bottom of the disease, and cures it permanently. S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific) is a real blood remedy, aud cures the most obstinate of Catarrh, Rheumatism, Conta­ gious Blood Poison, Cancer, Scrofula and Eczema, which other so-called blood remedies have no effect upon whatever. •S.S.S. is the only blood remedy guaran­ teed w Purely Vegetable and contains no mercury, potash ot other dangerous mineral.

In the year 1880, when our city waa get­ ting a hustle on for manufacturing Indcatrles, a travelling salesman casually re­ marked to ene of our business men that he knew of some gentlemen of ample means who were looking for a place to establish a felt boot factory. That was the beginning of IL The Intermediate steps were tbe sending of C. D. Beebe, then cashier of tbe City Bank, to *Interview tbe parties, wbo were residents of Galt, Ont; the subsequent Visits Of " ------Messrs. Andrlcb and- Roos tc Hastings; the_ purchase_ ___________ ot two acres_ of land from Mrs. Earl Brown In tbe second ward; tbe building of tbe plant and pur­ chase of the engine, boilers and shafting tor tbe same by the city; and then tije oc­ cupancy ot tbe plant and tbe limited oper­ ation of the same by the American Wool Boot Co., composed of Messrs. Andrlcb and Roos. The winter of 1889 was unfortunate for felt boots,—at least for such as were made by the American Wool Boot Co. The plant was operated but a very short time. Many explanations were offered by Its pro­ prietors, bnl tbe probable truth Is that they lacked means to carry on so extensive a business as this plant demanded. J In the winter of 1890 Mr. John Pender­ gast became Interested in the American Wool Boot Co., succeeding Mr. Andrlcb. Fortune did not smile on tbe new man­ agement Tbe entire stock of tbe institu­ tion was taken by the City Bank on a bill of sale in April, 1891. Tbe company up to that time had done a steadily losing business, and had no standing with the trade. In April, 1891, Chester Messer, Richard Messer, Dan. W. Reynolds, Clement Smith. Philip T. Colgrove and M L.Cook subscribed th6lr names to articles of In­ corporation for the Hastings Wool Boot Co., succeeding to all the property of tbe late American Wool - Boot Co. I he six gentlemen made a substantial addition to the assets of tbe Institution, fixing its cap­ ital stock at SCO,000.00, of which 830,000.00 was then paid in. Mr. John Pendergast was retained aa manager and selling agent. Business began at once and straight from the shoulder. Up to this time tbe factory’s production bad not exceeded sixty eases ot felt boots a day. From this time a steady Increase was noted aBd at up between tbe directors and Mana­ ger Pendergast led to his retirement He dom of which has been shown by Ito splendid grow th In boBioeM and in th* excellent financial 8tandhiif of the Institu­ pany’s secretary, who has ountin’oed, with tion.

Manufacturing really commenced in August, 1891, and In the first six months tbe shipment of tables reached the pro­ digious (?) number of 150. One of tbe st?ck holders at that time sagely re­ marked that the lumber was “worn out by­ being passed through tbe machinery so many times.” Be that as It may, but 450 tables were shipped. By this time a good supply of manufactured chairs and tables bad been mhde up, to which the “yawn­ ing” markets of tbe world paid do atten­ tion.* The result was that the Company waa “hard pressed” for cash, and would have been compelled to assign had not the HY That people of Hasting. and vicinity do not accord to theirRolle.^MiU the same liberal support they accord to the spendidly equipped mill, make those who read th., to g.ve it a tnaL inking your hearty support J .

The latter, however, wm also typical of the old Roman festival. Santa Claus (St NicholM) came by and by into the rich symbolism of tbe Christmas show m the euoDCMsur of Odin, the all father and all giver The Scandinavian god on the occation of the festivities of hto eldest son, 'Dior, distributed universal gifts, the fa­ ther of each family being his special agent in the matter. As Odin, or Woden, became in later myths the mighty huntsman wbo ranged tbe forestI, we see how tho ChristSQMlreo and evergreens found thalr places. Why, however, the functions of Odin should have specially been finally transfer­ red to St. Nichol— out of all the Christian canon roll, unless from the fact that this fine old saint was the special patron of children and schoolboys, it is not easy to divine. These things go to show what a curiously tangled composite our ChristmM is and bow lustily it hM grown out of di­ verse elements till it hM beoonio tho most significant and hallowed of holiday sea­ sons, marking really an epoch of the year. Among the causes which have enshrined this day sq deeply in the heart of the world the fact that it is peculiarly children's day is probably the most fetching in ite magic. Tho young people everywhere among Christian peoples constitute the factor which dominates the social observance of the fietison. Rich wiLssall at the dinner board, seraphic music and pomp of church service, even tho giving of rich gifts among tho elders, were these all, would leave ChristmM but little different from other holidays, notably so in tho case of Easter, when present giving among the rich has become so common. The Bambino, or Infant Christ, as the idol of the occasion, would then have but little significance, but whon tho juvenile world declares that It rules the jubilee the keynote is struck which sends its thrilling music ringing throughout humanity. How Charles Dick­ ens, the prose poet of Yulctide In fiction, hM spun this pregnant tact into exquisite episodes is probably tbe highest measure of his success in Imaginative work. The images be hM created will live forever in tho Christmas procession far more than puppets to the warm hearts of countless readers. And it is not among tbe children of the rich that ChristmM moot diffuree its -felicity in real life any more than among the offspring of the great ChristmM when neither shepherds nor flocks brave A CHRISTMAS HOMILY the open sky.

He hastily scrambled forth, and as the setting tran gleamed out he examined hie find by its light He rubbed the cup and the rings on his sleeve and “By ginger!" said he. “I’m darned if it ain’t all solid gold.

He returned home very satisfied with himself and with his prospects. Now ho could look forward without blinking to the inevitable rainy day. At present he had health, strength and youth, and with these he could earn his livelihood. “But," as Jos put it, “I can’t reckon on these last­ ing.

By the side of the cairn and overthrown wall stood his wife watching him with a smile on her cherry lips and a twinkle in her bright eyes. A toddling child clung to her skirts and she held one of the twins In each arm. ’ “Poll!" he gasped. “By gum. I m a ruined man! I’ve lost everything. I’ve been robbed."

At all events suitors had lacked fuel for their fire, and her friends rallied the young schoolteacher that the only men folk she liked were the lads, with whom Rhe oould be “jolly good fellow” In a most fascinating way. Her latest admirer, the head of a prosperous factory and much liked by the Martins, had no better luck than predecessors. “There was a time, "tho old lady con­ tinued in reminiscent mood as she laid down the letter, “when I hoped you and Paul would come together some day; but, lackaday, that’s all done with. I can’t understand tho girls nowadays.

Farmer Martin's gloom had a deeper root than ordinary miscarriage of hope. “I’d rather looked to Paul's help cf the wust comes,” said he to his wife, “fer Will’s got all he can shoulder.

They heard a scream of terror, and May darted back, gasping and white, to hide her face In her father’s lap. Santa Claus indeed had oome to tho child’s invocation. Framed in tho door­ way and seeming almost to fill it stood a great, fur clad figure, looking like a gi­ gantic bear on its hind legs. 'A fur hel­ met covered tho whole face, with goggles in tho eyelet holes, and on tho furry arm hung a big basket with bulging contents. Amid the breathless silence and wonder the uncouth figure stalked to the Christ­ mas tree and crowded Its empty boughs with such a largess of parcels as to bend them low. As the pantomime went on Mr. Martin nodded to his wife and Kate and then toward their guest as If to say, “This little comedy is the pleatont sur­ prise of a rich man’s wooing. ” But Swin­ ton’s eyes were bent on Santa Clnus with a queer look of dread and expectancy, could ihey have gauged his thought Not a word was uttered till the fur clad Image had closed his task, when a hoarse, rumbling voice, as if it hud been made rauoot* by shouting against polar blasts, issued from under the fur hood, calling them by name and summoning them to receive their gifts.

CHRISTMAS-TIDE APPROPRIATE sentiments from a few well known CONTRIBUTORS. s it. A Day of Happiness (Contributed by Rev. Thoma* Oox.) When the angels sang over tbe plains of liethlehem. "peace on earth and good will to men,” they ushered In a principle among the nations which shall go on to the cunqae»t of this world. It Is the principle <jf brotherhood, as shown in good will to all men. Jesus Christ stands for those things that do men good and make the m happy. He brings good will by changing tur.n himself, by removing from bis nature ■ibe evil, by extending bls horizon, by showing him In every other man a friend and a brother. He brings good will by showing man the love of God which Is “broader than the measure of man’s mind” to grasp. A man’s lot roar be bard and difficult but over it is lir.7. and out of It he shall come tri­ umphant if he will follow where love shall lead. * Lpve will make a happy Christmas time.

How do we account for it that this festival Is still ob­ served with songs aod services and jubila­ tion and joyous peal of bells, and that it Is a holiday in every Christian land? To many, no doubt, Christmas day Is only a little breathing space; others welcome its good cheer, or Its reunlom of friends, or as a time for feasting and fun and frolld. But to tbe thoughtful man it means much more. It brings to him a happiness spring­ ing. out of gratitude, not only joy but deep thankfulness; not only good cheer, but the memory of good tidings. It mrantf* to such the anniversary of tbe birth of the Master of the human race. Dante In his great poem calls Virgil master.'s^Ruskin speaks of Carlyle.

And the old dock has kept on Ticking off time tor these seventy years or And I wonder Mr. Editor, bow many of the Banner readers will go back with me three score and ten years, to Christmas time. Don't you remember, old pioneers, ’the old fire place where Mother cooked tbe Christmas dinner? Of course you do. You remember the old oven beside tbe fire place, or standing out In the yard. O, yes, old boys, you had to split oven wood, and how you made tbe splinters fly, to heat the oven for your—well if It was not a turkey or gdbee, then It was a fine, fat pig. And, O my, Mr. Editor, It makes one al­ most wish himself back to tbe old fire place and old oven. An d pioneers, you remember bow you used to sit and talk of Santa Claus, and don't you remember bow you used to drive sticks in the cracks ot the old logs your bouse was made of, to hang your stockings on,ready for old Banta, and if you got a lump of maple sugar or a doughnut you were well pleased.for hadn't old Santa remembered you? If you bad not the oven, then you remember how you used to bang your turkey, goose,pig or spare rib up before the good old fire by a stout string and there they cooked. You re­ member bow tbe drippings were caught in the dripping pan and ladled back onto tbe broiling victim. 0 yes, you remember. , You hear your mother say: “Jane, don’t let that turkey burn;” then Jane would turn It and give It a “basting” with tbe contents of the dripping pan. I wonder if our younger people would know what to call tbe out door oven? They might think it a monster bee hive, yet It was in those old ovens our mothers and grandmothers cooked our Christmas dinners. On Christmas 1845 we had the pleasure ot qutertalning tbe late'Rev. Milton Brad­ ley and wife at our Conbtmas-dinner. We hadn’t any turkeys running around our yard, so I took my gun. Wife said '‘where are you going?” 1 said “after a turkey, for turkey we must have,” and tn a short time I found one io tbe woods and re­ turned with it to the house with Its neck broken—and tbe same bullet bad killed a deer Dreviously, aud wben dressing the deer the ball was found against tbe skin of tbe deer, and with that bullet 1 killed the Christmas turkey.

The Christmas of 1801 at the south was A COMEDIAN'S PLIGHT. ASwater* TteS M»U Ma* q**4wl» Oirtf... MKbt. a The meat eventful Christmas I ever pareeri wm in 1881. We had played In Utioa Christmas eve and were to leave on an early morning train for Poughkeepsie. The company caught tho train all right, but it wm frightfully cold and a blizzard was raging. I decided to wait for a later train, which would reach Poughkeepsie about & o’clock. Instead of clearing up, however, the storm grew worse, and the train that I waited for never name. It was stalled in a drift up tbe road some­ where. I began to realise then that it waa a cold day for roe In more senses than one. I tried to hire an engine, but didn't suo* oeed, for there waa none. I finally gave it up in despair and went back to the ho­ tel. George Appleton, my manager, waa made of sterner stuff than I, however, and in about two hours had organised a party of storm bound passenger* and persuaded an­ other railroad to make up a mixed train and try to get us through to tho uncom­ pleted bridge at Poughkeepsie. We would be landed on tho opposite side of the river, they said, but we could get across to tho town by tbe ferry. Tho depot was about three miles outside of Utica, and it took us three hours and a quarter to reach it. There was no fire in the oars we secured, and mighty little tn the engine. At 8 o'clock Christmas night we were dumped out at tho landing opposite Poughkeepsie. Tbe river was full of jagged masses of ice and tbe ferryboats had been compelled to stop running at 0 o'clock. There was YH» GUARD WAS OBDURATE. no possible way of crossing exoopt by the half finished railroad bridge, and tbat waa guarded at either end by watchmen, who had orders to allow no one to pass. More­ over, there was no approach to the bridge, whose ice clad buttress arose abruptly from the river's edge to a height of a hundred feet or more. The other passengers stopped right there and sought shelter in a neigh­ boring hotel. I wanted to follow their good example, but Appleton wouldn't let me. He Raid we had gone too far to turn back then, and, besides, a sturdy small boy at tho hotel had offered to show us how to climb to the bridge. Hu was rewarded in advance, and then wo set out to battle with fate. The small boy took the lead, Appleton followed him, I made a close third, and my valet, Jack, formed a kind of rear guard tp look after my remains in case ot accident, Our small guide led us straight to the huge buttress of the bridge, which was built of massive blocks of stone arranged in terrace form from its broad SCHOOL COLUMN. CONDUCTED BYCOUNTY SCHOOL COMMIBSIONKR, MISS FLORA J. BEADLE. A feature of many county papers throughout tbe state Is the "School Column”—a column devoted to the inter­ ests o! the schools and their work. Through this means tbe Commissioner is able; to make many general suggestions relative to school work, which oould reach the general public in no other way—pos­ sibly through the school column the Com­ missioner may help to build up a healthy school sentiment At any rate tbe teach­ ers can be reached and entiled to better work and heartier efforts. From tbe school column of Commission­ er E. W. Baker, of Cheboygan Oo., we clip the following relative to school visitation. “The fall schools have opened and tbe Commissioner will soon be around inspect­ ing aod taking notes. The following are some of tbe evidences of progress for which be will look. He will expect to see:— 1.A wide awake teacher, not a "school keeper,” and orderly Interested pupils. If Interested tbey are sure to be orderly. 2. Tbe -teacher full of the subject taught, showing complete Independence of tbe text book, and showing careful dally preparation for each class, wbtUb should be beard without the use of tbe book. 3.

Attention given to the language and number work in all grades. Tbe little ones should not be neglected or sent out to play. Educational busy-work should be planned and provided. 0. Some Intelligent losttactlon given on tbe causes and prevention of dangerous communicable diseases, emphasizing the necessity of cleanliness. 7. The school opened with appropriate exercises. 8. Some form of flag salute in use. 9. A flag In every school room. 10. Every pupil able to sing ‘•America” with spirit and without the book. 11. Pupils learning “memory gems,’ sentiments worthy of remembrance. 13. Pupils taught to think. 18. Neat black-board work. 14. Some attempt to make the school room attractive and more home-llke.

Many scboB rooms are cleaned but once a year, and some not that often. When the floor gets dusty and dirty, call tbe attention of the school board to the matter.

A little at­ tention to the condition of tbe school bouse will prevent many of the frequent outbreaks of diphtheria and other diseases. 16. The stove neatly blackened. Yoh were about 15 feet high and covered with ice and snow. It was impossible for a ban to climb them unaided, but the boy was equal to tbe emergency.

There waa 1 sudden scurry and scramble of horses' hoofs, low voiced words of warning and a muttered curse or two.

V*is ever luck so great? But haste! haste—nut a moment could bo lost. They must act at once. And so Morales hurried to station and instruct bis men. Prowling like coyotes through the darkness and at re­ spectful distance from the guarded end of th© corral ranch, half a dozen of the number crept into'the corral. Others were distributed over the southern front Three of the lighter and more slender of th© band were "boosted" through the high west window into Mo­ reno’s domain. Then through the mid­ dle room they made their way. where sat the eenora. rocking, weeping and moaning over the body of the outlaw leader, where,, hiding under the bed, j shivering and praying, crouched the •enorita. her daughter, and then, bare­ footed. they crept into the room adjoin­ j ing the bar and listened, breathlees, to the low toned instructions of tbe veter­ an sergeant. From without no glim­ mer of light could guide the assailants or help them in their aim. The black ■ apertures of the doorways were poor marks for night shooting, and the more enterprising and adventurous, crawling like snakes to reconnoiter, were soon able to report that most scientifically bad the defease thrown up their breast‘ works. From group to group flitted Pasqual. At his shrill battlecry ,__ all________ bauds were ___ . to rush simultaneously to the attack, firing no shot for fear of bitting one ! another, but with pistol in one band j and tbe long, deadly knife in the other close at once upon the defenders, leap over their barriers and overwhelm them in the dark interior. In three minutes the-signal would be given: He himself would lead thedaabof tbe |>arty within * the * corral. PaMjunl was shrewd enough ‘ to know that where there was only one doorway instead of two there would be . better chance of dodging the bullets. ' But keen eyre and »*an» and wits were there alert. Feeny and Harvey well ' knew that thin wan but the lull before : the storm. ' "Lay low. boys, and be ready. Shoot the first man that shows." was the last caution old Plummer heard before the bursting of tbe tempest. All on a sudden a wild-<Ty went up in tbe corral. All on a sudden from north and south the assailants dashed forward with answering yell. Id an instant the dark apertures flashed their lightning, and rifle and revolver shots rang on the still night air. Harvey’s Henry barked like a Gatling. Feeny’s master, sorely wounded, but still con•cions and plucky, bia faithful clerk ministen ng to him as best he could. stanching the flow of blood and comforting him with cool water. At the doorway opening on the hard, trampled space at the nonthern front of the ranch, aheltenng himself behind his breastwork of barley, but never retaxing vigilant watch, knelt Sergeant Feeny, a bandana bound about his fore­ head. the blood trickling down his right cheek, the sleeve of bia flannel shirt rent by a bullet that just grazed the upper arm. Kneeling on the counter and peeping through a hole in the bot­ tom of the wooden window shutter. one of Harvey’a men kept guard. The other faced the doorway into Moreno’s domestic apartments, every now and then letting drive a shot through the woodwork to keep them, as he said, "from monkeying with the bolt on the other side." X. In planning his roadside ranch Moreno had allowed outer doors only to those rooms which were for public use. The three which lay to the west of the bar could not be entered except through that resort or by a door giving on the corral, both of these doors being sup­ plied with massive bolts as security against intruders, and all throe rooms being furnished with air ports rather than windows, pierced at such a height through the adobe that no one from without, except in saddle, could peer through the aperture and see what waa going on within. The travelers’ room and tbe barroom ports, however, were low aad large, and all the rooms were spacious. The bar of course, being the dining as well as drinking room, carried off the honors in point of size. This, too, was furnished with an open­ ing into the corral, but Feeny’a first thought on reaching his comrades was old SpringfiGi banged like a six poundj er.

Rand output for the first six months of the currant year exceeded thet of the corresponding period of 1896 by about 80 per cent, and while it is not likely that this ratio will bo maintained throughout tbe year tho increase may very easily be 20 per cent, or about $9,­ 000,000. Tho highest percentage of gain will doubtless be found in the case of Canada and the British northwest, where the production is likely to jump from $2,600,000 in 1896 to $8,000,000 in 1897, the result largely of the phe­ nomenal output of the Klondike. Based an these figures, the prediction may safely be made that the world's gold production for 1897 will approximate $240,000,000, a gain of about 10 per cent over the preceding year.

Every now and then a Chicago-platfon^ plank gives way with a groan as an ex­ ceptionally large business Improvement wave dasbes against IL Boo. Jas. ODonntll, of Jacknon, has WilMam T. Stead, author, journalist, theoaophist and general student of all that is odd, now announces that he haa received by means of automatic writ­ ing, from a very well-known spirit, the information that every living person has what is called the sixth sense. In other words, we are all mediums, contrary to the general supposition, even among the advanced disciples of spiritualism. The message or communication is given to the world through Editor Stead, who, for the time being, is un­ der the guidance of this feminine con­ trol, the real author of the statements being known ta “Julia." “Her mes­ sages have been coming’at intervals for five years, and among the students of the occult are regarded as absolutely true. That is why Mr. Stead lays «o much importance upon them. It is for this reason he bolds that the com­ munication between the inhabitants of the world and those who have passed away can be much more free if only people will have it that way. In the BJulia ways: I< have to tell you is that all o readly wish to have, the sixth whatever you may choose to »o developed that they can at me sensibly or to their senses _ i. of the reality of the existence of the beings who encompass them about, can acquire the gift or faculty if they will but adapt themselves to the laws of the region into which they wish to penetrate. It is a potentiality of the universal human race. Nor is it only human. Many animals have tbe open eye. They see when their owners are blind. But yon can see if you choose. It rests with ourselves. ‘There is no short cut to the sixth sense. There may be something Mke it in mesmerism and hypnotism, but that is not at all what I mean. What is possible is for every chll^ or man to become what you call normally clair­ voyant—that is. for anyone to possess himself of the power of seeing and hear­ ing, as plainly as he sees and hears material things, tbe invisible forms and voices that surround him. ‘The power is one that ought to be under control: There will be only harm done if you do not shut at will the clairvoyant eye. Imagine the mis­ chief that would happen if when life and death hung on the absolute con­ centration of all faculties on the sub­ ject Immediately before you. if at the supreme moment you were to see. tbe whole phantasmagoria of borderland pass between you and the point of ex­ clusive interest. If you cannot control your sixth sense you bad better not acquire it. It is much better to do with­ out (t than to be controlled by it. “You should have the sense at com­ mand when you need It, as you have your microscope or your telescopy But, better1 have nettber-if you aretob*1 compulsorily doomed at other will than yours to interrupt the work of life by a spectacle of the infinitely lit­ tle or the infinitely remote. Man should always be master of his senses, especially of the sixth sense, as it is called.” In her further statements to MrStead “Julia” goes on to say that the in­ vestigator must always be simple and not be constantly thinking of himself. In other words, self-conaeiousness must be avoided, or it will play havoc with the chances.of success. All one’s men­ tal faculties are needed. Everything must be examined and tested without prejudice and without parttaMty. Noth­ ing can be achieved without time and patience. The first thing To be done to see tht» invisible ones, “Julia” says, is to be very still and to wait. When quite still and passive, close your eyes and think of the one whom you wish to see. If it is a friend still alive in the body it will help you if at tbe same time, although . that is not essential, he or she is also passive and alone. When you have two I spirits in accord, both seeking the same I thing, the difficulties are less. But you j Should Select Thoroughly This is a Christmas shopper’s time.

If a little of the prudery of mod­ ern society were banished, so that young women talked these subjects ovex among themselves, there would be less suffering among women in middle life. Good health is the best endowment that a human being can have. Good general health among women ia largely dependent upon good local*health in a womanly way. Through ignorance and neglect it has be­ come such an ordinary, common-place thing for women to suffer from weakness and^ disease of the delicate and important feminine organism, that many women have come to look upon these troubles as an unavoidable inheritance. This is a mis­ take. All troubles of this nature may be cured in the privacy of the home* without undergoing the obnoxious “examinations” and "local treatment” insisted upon by tbe average physician. Dr. Pierce’s Fa­ vorite Prescription gives health, elastic strength and vitality to the sensitive organs concerned. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration and frees from .pain. It tones the nerves and builds up the nerve centers. It makes a woman healthy and strong, and thus prepares her for healthy wifehood, capable motherhood and a safe transition at the change of life. “ I want to testify to the great benefit derived from using Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription." •writes Mrs. H.

Supervisor Abbey being absent from the city was not preeenL At that meeting everything was gone over and Mr. Hicks scrutinized everything closely, thoroughly understood It, and gave It bls sanction. Every member of the council voted for th* estimates as furnished, except Aiderman Burton, who did not vote for it because be thought the contingent fund ought to be a little larger. After Mr. Hicks thoroughly understood matters then, discussed them, and talked them over, It shows a woful Joes of mem­ ory, as well as a lamentable lack of policy for him to decry that which bad his sanc­ tion,and which he fully understood and dis­ cussed. It is nothing more than one of William’s political dodges with which the people are becoming so familiar, and of which they are growing weary. What the people want is a rest from high taxation and those who do not vote to give it will wake up some'fine morning and find tbemelves politically decapitated. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Barry county Agricultural Society was held in Parker's ball Tuesday afternoon and was slimly atteuded. the members not seeming to take much interest In the affairs of the concern. When the Treasurers report was called for. there was no satisfactory report given nud it was moved to lay the report that was made on the table. And this led to a resolution being offered compelling the officers to make a financial report at least three weeks before the annual meeting. . The financial report also showed that the debt of the Society was increased about 8100, not counting the Interest on the Pennock note. The society going be*•» it h,s. led some to enquire why il.r. ii I l..n areH nmbc r.C ibe "nnolll constitution and V... by Ilaws of th.* the Association were violated, when it says that if the Income shall not equal the ex­ penses, that premiums shall be “pro rated”. Thia led to a motion that no money be paid on premiums until two weeks after the fair. Motion carried. The election of officers resulted as follows: Frank Sylvester, of Yankee Springs. Pres; H. J. Iden. of Johnstown, Vice Pres; R. M. Bates. Hastings. Sec’y; George Burd, of Jobustown, Treasurer. We hope that the management will make an extra effort to get up an attract­ ive fair, and give those who Attend some­ thing to look at besides people. We wish the new officers sueeess and hope that next year may see one of the best ' ’ In the state. The officers are good fairs men and the fair ought to be successful.

Hagcly, Last night there was a special meeting of the Common Connell which baa bee* called the “Bear dance.” It was the Aral meeUng that we have attended In many moons, but we are not going to mire any others if they are all as enjoyable as tfe one teat night We have been to maw circuses and giggled at the clown ; we baw looked at the Corner atone on the city ball and managed to restrain our mirth, until we got the tax receipt; but for pure, no­ adulterated fun the people of this city who, don't go to the council meetings don’t know what they are missing. We will wager that old P. T. Barnum’s spirit looked on that meeting last night with jealous eyes, and wished that It was on earth again In the flesh, bunting for mirth­ provoking specialties. Aid. Bessmer was the first man at bat. and be made a home run drive. The ball ’ hasn’t been found yet. but little pieces oC the cover were found over in the first ward. The question of forcing collections on water rents waa before the council, and some suggested that everyone who had not paid should be cut off from ail further supply. At this Juncture Mr. Bessmer arose and solemnly said: . “Gentlemen, 1 owe this city 86 for wat■ er'rent. I have not paid In two years, but if this city shuts off my water I will sue it for damages.”' Some of the unsophisticated onlookers smiled, but the aldermen all turned pale at this dife threat of another law suit But despite this they voted a little later onto enforce the rules. ‘ An invisible orchestra, bid behind the screen of a false report, published in last week's ' issue, ofthe “only dem­ ocratlc paper in Barry county” struck __ ____ up the tuoe ____________ of “Money” Musk, and the dance commenced. Aider­ man Hicks, who is no doubt largely re­ sponsible for the report, attempted to de­ fend IL but Aiderman Hauer and Sheldon waded Into it with unusual force and ve­ hemence. Both gentlemen branded it as absolutely false. Aiderman Bauer espec­ ially paid his compliments to that portion which says “th«t the present council baa ruu the city in debt several thousand dol­ lars” He defied any citizen of the city to put his finger on a single Item of extrava­ gance, and called especial attention to the fact that Aiderman Hicks, who has raised ail this rumpus, voted for every expenditure;snd that if Mr.Hicks Idea had been fol­ lowed several hundrpd dollars more would have been expended in putting down ce­ ment cross walks around the monument Mr. Bauer said that he stood by every vote that be had east, and that the present council would pay off 86.000 in debts of this city. Looking Mr. Hicks squarely In the face be said that he did not like to see people vote one way and then acf another. He said that Mr. Hicks voted for the tax budget, and now comes out before the peo­ ple and bowls, simply for political effect In concluding Mr. Bauer said that with a two per cent tax next year, in thlt city all debts will be paid, and all fund* will be intact—providing the grime economy it ujtcd next year a« hag beat this. br Waters and Aiderman Sheldou say the same, and we submit to the conservative element, and all who want to have lower taxes, that their judgement Is worthy of belief. They arc- all good, sound, conserv­ ative business men and aie - working hard for the city’s interests. To them it Is largely due that taxes *re lower this year, and on a decreased- valuation, and next year it will be still lower. Aiderman Hicks said that the council last year “was the most economical one the city ever had.” It a man will take down hl# tax receipt test year and com­ pare it with tills year’s, and on top of al! this will remember that -between 88,000 and 84,000 In debts was left over from last years council for this 'council to pay, be will be justified in wondering how it was so saving. William attempted to bulldoze matter* juat as the last kick nt “Money” Mask waa made. Aiderman Bessmer called for the ‘•Previous Question.” though neither the man who made the dire threat, nor Aider­ man Hicks could state the “l*revkma Question." Aiderman Bauer attempted to say something and Aiderman Hicks re­ peatedly Interrupted'andjcalled itim to order. The Mayor generously said that be would waive any technicality, and would give any person present a chance to be beard, tout this didn't suit the Bom, who constantly Interrupted. The Mayor said “Mr. Hicks. Mr. Bauer has the floor. If you are a gentleman you will take your seat" “I say that ’aim a debatable question,” the Hour said. -Whether you are a gentleman or not Mr. Hicks.probably Isa debatable ques­ tion. but Mr. Bauer has the Boor,” Mavor reoiled. . Mr. Bauer wasn't interrupted again. Mr. Hlcka inquired if the city had beam sued by Mrs. W inert, and the Mayor pre­ sented the pai er that had been served up­ on him. Here City Attorney Walker wba had been listening Intently to everything Mr. Hlcka had to say, stepped forth and grinned like a iitlte red fox, when M »*- naw policy « bqdoMM » roof rerrleeU THS.

Furious at their repulse, the band were ready to obey their leader’s maddest wish. The word' waa, “Burn them out" Ned Harvey, crouching behind his barley tmgs, felt bis blood turn to ice water in his veins when,' with exultant yells and taunts, the cor­ ral suddenly lighted up with a broad red glare. The match bad been applied to the big haystack close to the brush covered ahed. close toMie " leanto, ” un­ der which so much inflammable rub­ bish was stored. It could be a question of only a few moments: then they, too, would be a mass of flames, spreading rapidly westward. The stout adobe wall separating the ranch proper from the sheds would prqtect the occupants from direct contact with the flame, but what could save t^e roof? Stretching from wall to wall were the dry, resine^s pine logs that formed the basis of the bulky structure. Over these the lighter boards of pine and over all, thickly piled, dry as bone and inflam­ mable as tinder, heap on heap of brush. Once this was fairly ablaze the hapless occupants of . tbe rooms beneath might as well be under the grating of some huge furnace. High in air shot the leaping flames. Far and wide over*the desert spread the lurid glare. Screaming with terror, the women of Moreno’s household were al­ ready dragging into iho corral their few treasures and rushing back for such raiment as they conld save. Far over at the corral gate, where the bullets of the besieged could not find them, Pas­ qnal Morales and his exulting band were gathered, the chief lying upon his eerape, with bloody bandages about his leg, his followers dancing about him in frantic glee, all keeping carefully out of range of the black doorways, yet three or four crack shots lay flat in the sands, their rifles covering the now glar­ ing fronts of the threatened rancho, ready to shoot down. Indianlike, the wretched garrison when driven out. It was at this juncture that from somewhere in the middle room, behind ....... Moreno’s heavy door, a voice was heard: "Hand out the safe. Hand out yonr money now, and we’ll leave yon in peace. Every man of us will ride away, and you can come out as soon as we are gone. Answer, for you have no time to lose." "Answer him. you!” shouted Feeny to Mr. Dawes. 'Send a shot through and hit him if you can. ” But before the clerk conld drop the fan with which he was striving to re­ vive his fainting chief, the young fel­ low from Harvey's party, be who was stationed at the north door and had been so fortunate as to shoot Morales himself, now suddenly sprang from his covert, and placing tbe mukzlo of his Henry rifle close to the door deliberately popped three shots in quick succession through the splintering woodwork, and in the confusion and dismay which re­ sulted was able to leap nimbly into his corner again before the answering shots could come. "Take that for your answer!” shout­ ed Feeny again, “you black hearted, black bellied thafe, and take this, too, bad scran to ye! Every dollax of that money’s in greenbacks that’ll burn as aisy as tissue, and if you want it come and get it now. ’Tis you that’s got no time to lose. Come and get it. 1 say, for be the soul of St. Patrick you’ll never have another chance. Just as sure as ye let that fire reach this ranch and harm those young leddies—old Har­ vey’s daughters that never did yo a harm in the world—every dollar in the safe goes whack into the fire, aud eorra • ahinplaster will you have for all your _ at th® chance of aavinc all tboro prom­ ises to pay. ** ’ .

It was even as they were point- t ing this out to Pasqnal and urging that ' he consent to be lifted into the am bnlance and driven away southward be­ fore the return of the cavalry that Mo­ reno himself appeared. Slipping out of bis western window, dropping to the ground and making a complete circuit of the corral, be suddenly joined in the excited conference. What he said was in Spanish, or that pan-Arizona patois I that there passes current for such, and was a wild, fervid appeal. ! They had ruined him— him and his. | He whs unmasked, betrayed, tor now ! his connection with tne band was estab- ; lished beyond all question. Now he ' was known and would soon be branded as an outlaw. His home was being de- I atroyed before his eyes—nut that that i amounted to much now that he could no ! longer occupy it—his wife and child must flee at once for Sonora, and ho go ' with them, but recompense for his loss ; he must have. Never again could he venture into Arizona. He would be i known far and wide ns the betrayer of i his benefactor's children, thpugh he called God and all the saints in tbe Spanish calendar to witness he never dreamed of their being involved in this plot. The paymaster’s funds, not the lives of any of tbe paymaster’s men. were* what he had sought to take, and now there lay the dollars almost within their grasp, but unless captured at onto would be gone forever. "I know that pig of a sergeant! May the flames of hell envelop him for all eternity!” he cried. “He will not scru­ ple to do as he says. He will cast ev­ ery package into the seething furnace. I Mira! Look! The shed is now all' ablaze! In.one minute tbe roof or th^ rancho will burst into flame! There is not an instant "to lose! 1 adjure yon. let the daughters of Harvey, the son. the men, come out at once. Swear to them safety, honor, protection. Let them go' their way now, now! Then you will have to deal with only two or three, and the treasure is ours. Look yon. Sanchez. Pedro, Jose, down with that, shed next the runcho! Hurl it, drag it down so that its fire cannot reach the brush beyond: then we can parley; we can win their ear. They will be but too glad to be spared to go on their way unharmed. Yonder are their mules across the corral. Hitch them in at once. Save the others for the ambu­ lance aud the buckboard here and for our noble chief. Is it uot so, captain? Am I not right?” Approving murmurs followed his fiery words. So long as the Yankees held to­ gether there was little likelihood of the outlaws gaining the ground except by burning out. and that now meant the destruction of the very money they were after, the utter loss of the fortune that, divided even among so many, would enable them to- live like princes in Her­ mosillo or beyond. They would be he­ roes, conquerors. But if that were lost after all their plotting, planning, labor and crime, there was absolutely no rec­ ompense. Even through the brain cloud­ ing fury of his revenge Pasqnal Morales saw the sound sense of Moreno’s plea He made no effort to check the men who ran to do his bidding and were even now with lariats and stalwart arms dragging the props from under the ahed and letting its western end come pat­ tering down. Within the eastern room the dense smoke waa already finding its way. The sound of falling beams and timber only conveyed to the occupants the idea that already the shed was in and that any instant the roof over their heads would burst into a tor­ rent of fire. Ned Harvey’s brave apirit vm taxed to the utmost Unless relief could oome, and come at once, nothing remained for him but death, nothing for those fair aisters but a fate far worse. At one instant he waa on the point of urging the poymaater to comply with the outlaw', demand, pledging himrolf and hia father’, fortune to make good to the government every oeat .ro Mcrifiorf. Hia father could pay it tour time, over and would rather rink bi. laat cent than that the faintoet harm ehonld come to thoae beloved children, but tbe next moment Feeny'e .plendid defiance bad eo thrilled him that be could not frame the worda he thought further jeopardixe the life, for bouor oftteteMalatter'a fitederi troaanrm > If it were only bimeelt te would This is the rememberit Itcontains Washing Powder that cleans everything quickly, cheaply and perfectly. mil FAIUAXK CORPUTY, BLlodta. ..“ - -u*“e’ Wm ----- “ --------------U no 5®° not his duty to reecue came.

From the other room, in which the major now lay, feebly moaning, no word of remonstranco came. Even in their extremity, *then, v“ the soldiers of ” the government would not urge that he stay and en­ counter further peril in their defense. One of the drugged troopers was begin­ ning to regain some atom of sense, and sitting up was miserably asking what had happened, what was the matter ____ now. **Go and douse water over your d——d worthless head, Mullan,” he heard the sergeant say. Bo Feeny was evidently alert as. ever and must have heard the proposition from without. At his feet, huddled close to the floor where the thick smoke was least distressing, Fan.... . ny and Ruth still clung to one another, the latter trembling at the sound of the voice from without. But Fanny had quickly, eagerly, raised her head to lis­ ten. For a moment no reply was made. Then came the impatient query: “Har­ vey. do you near? You have no time to lose. You have but a qainute in which to answer." “Major.” he burst forth at last in an agony of doubt, “you hear what they say, you see how I am fixed. If I were here alone, you would never need to ask my services—I’d .fight with you to the bitter end—but think of my father, my mother, if anything befall my Bisters. Can nothing be done?’’ From the lips of the stricken paymas­ ter there came only a groan in reply. “I fear he cannot hold out long, Mr. Harvey,” muttered the clerk. “Idoubt if Ije heard or understood you.” “Well, why not let them have the safe if they’ll guarantee that that is all they want ? How much have you there? I feel sure my father would make it good." “There’® over $25,000, Mr. Harvey.” “Well, if it was only 25 cents, Mr. Ned Harvey, all I've got to say is devil a wan of them would they get so long as I could load a shot or pull a trigger. Go you. if ypu will. Take the leddies by all means if you think it safer, but before I’d trust the wan sister I ever had—God rest her soul—to the prom­ ise of any such blackguard party as this. I’d bury my knife in her throat." An awful stillness followed Feeny’s words. For an instant there was no sound but quick beating hearts, the mutterings and complainings of poor Mullan, staggering about in search of his carbine, the quickened breath and low moaning of ]>oor old Plummer. Then again camo the loud hail from without: "Once more, Ned Harvey, will you come out and be saved or stay there and roast? Surrender now and you’re all right; but, by the God of heaven, if you refuse it's the last chance for you or those you were fool enough to bring here. Think for your sisters, man. There’s no hope for one of you if you delay another minute.” And then it was a woman’s voice, tremulous but clear. “Ned,wasn’t it to save us that Major Plummer sent his men? Wasn’t it for onr sake he gave up all his escort?” "It was. Fan, yes—at least he thought so.” "And now you would desert him, would you ? Leave him to be murdered by these robbers, the worst gang we ever had or heard of? I say you shall not. I for one will not go into their bund* Ruth cannot go without me. Stay and fight it out, Ned, or you’re hot your father’s aon.” “Fan! Fan! you’re a trump! God bless your br^ve heart!” cried Harvey. “It seethed cowardly to go, yet the re■pfrrwihaHty waa more than I could bear.” “May tbe Minto In heaven smile on year party face for all eternity!” mat­ tered Feeay in a rapture of delight "The young leddy ia right Mr. Har­ vey. though It wasn't for me to say It Shore you can't trust those scoundrels.

Possibly be ia sitting down in some fence corner trying to figure out how much happier that country is, where people don’t get half as much in wages as they do here, and where it takes twice as much money to buy tbe same articles as it does here. The Dlhgley bill. certainly sterted in under very unfavorable circumstances, as tbe country was Hooded with goods from foreign countries, imported to avoid pay­ ing tbe duties. Tbe revenues have steadi­ ly increased as tbe foreign goods were consumed, and those in position to know aay that the earnings will increase from five to seven millions per month after the new year. The revenues have now reached twenty-five mtilions^per month. Concerning the Kerennfi The criticisms of the enemies of tbe Dingley tariff law, in which they assert that It is not dow producing sufficient revebm to meet running expenses of the Government, are fully met by tbe followtag tetter from Aastatant Secretary Howell •C tbe Treasury Department, wbote long experience in this branch of tbe Govern•sect service entitles bis opinion to special (Ow-I OF OFFICX OF THK SXCBXTAXT, AmnxTMXMTS Washimotom, D.

Y„ Gentlemen: in reply to year inquiry ooooernlng tbe excess of expenditures •ver receipts during tbe present fiscal year, 1 have to advise you that tbe actual receipts from customs during the four months that tbe act ot 1897 has been In operation, namely, August, September, October and November, amounted to >M,474,893. A* Is well known, tbe isaportatloos during the past four months Imve not been normal, owing to tbe large importations to antteipattoa of tbe passage «f tbe present tariff. , Had tbe importations been as large durto« the period stated as they were for the •erne period of 1892, .the revenue which we w*nld have received under the rates of toe present law would amount to 8102,­ 710,600, or 868,286378 more than the actual receipts. It may be urged, how­ ever, that this is not a fair comparison, as toe year 1892 was a very prosperous year, a»a tbe Importations were accordingly open door to a final solution of tbe cur­ rency problem, and one through which toe Government may walk without danger of disturbance. Tbe feeling which existed a few mouths ago, that a revision of tbe currency system and one which eliminates tbe goto-bearing obligations could nbt be MgteBpilsbed without a general upsetting of business methods, and perhaps without materially Increasing tbe Indebtedness of the Government, te rapidly giving way in view of the admirable plan outlined by tbe President. “If tbe Congress will fellow the President’s advice in Ibis mat­ ter,” said a distinguished and experienced official of tbe Government, wbo bas bad a long opportunity to study matter* of this kind, “the people of this country will wake up some fine morning a few years hence and find that tbe currency system has been changed in a satisfactory way without any financial disturbance and al­ most witboat tbe people being conscious of it. Tbe Preeldent’8 proposition to re­ tain in the Treasury tbe gold obligations which are redeemed in gold, and to per­ mit tbe national banks to Increase their currency so as to fill tbe vacancy^ that this retention United States notes would cause, and also that the banks be required to redeem their own notes iu gold, will, If carried out, gradually trans-1 fer to tbe shoulders of the banks that duty of providing the goto for the de-j mands of the country which the Govern-I mvnt bas heretofore attempted to main­ tain. This plan, if carried out, would, lu my opinion, solve tbe entire currency problem, and to do it in such a gradual, quiet way that it Would not disturb busi­ nessconditions oPcom pc I tbe increase of tbe Interest-bearing Indebtedness of tbe Government John Sherman, when be was preparing as Secretary of the Treasto resume specie payment, said: ’The way co resume Is to re*sms. ’ Now |t seems that another Ohio man ha* come to tbe front with an equally simple, practical currency reform proposition, which may go into operaitoQrf as smoothly and satis­ factorily abdwlth aa valuable results as did tbe apeele resumption under Secretory Sherman, dow tbe distinguished sad hon­ ored bead of tbe Department of State.” Tbe few people wbo were Inclined te criticise tbe operations of tbe Dingley Jaw have learned that their criticisms were not well founded. That law bas in Its .first four months produced nearly ten per cent more revenue than did tbe Wilson law in tbe corresponding four months of its bistory, and b*> increased its earnings more than twenty-five per cent in that length of time. Assistant Secretary How­ ell, wbo has been many years connected with tbe customs service of A* Govern­ ment, ba* caused a very careful estimate to be made of tbe earnings which this law would have produced in the past four months bad tbe importations been op to tbe normal. To obtain the normal Im­ portations he takes those of tbe year 1893, which was looked upon as a fair example of tbe importing habits of tbe United States, He finds that if the importations of tbe pass four months had been equal to those of tbe corresponding months in 1893 the custom* earnings of tbe new law would have been 8103,000,000 instead of 834.000;ooo, as there were, on an average of nearly larger than tbe average.

The unfortunate family occupied the upper floor. By a strange coinci­ dence Mr. Jarvis, the woman's husband, who had beeh suffering from consump­ tion, died in the workhouse infirmary Sunday afternoon without having heard of the disaster.

During the period since it went into effect, it haa brought in over $7,000.ono tual Fire Insurance company against Auditor-General Wood, the effect of the decision bring that when lands are bid off to the xtate for the taxes of one year and are still held by the state such lands cannot again be sold for the delinquent taxeB of succeeding years. Tbe decision completely upsets the usual procedure in the office of the state auditor-general and means a loss 'TEMMuinds of dollars to the T. state. more revenue than did the. Wilson bill for the same time after its enactment. It 1b also to be remembered that imfor the first months of the Wilson taw, because imports were held back to take advantage of the lower rates. Likewtae, goods were nuffied into the United States in enormous volume in ita taa^ days, resulting in imports much less in voltune than the normal when the Dingley law went into operation. Another thing to be remembered is that the reciprocity provisions have not yet gotten into working order. The Mc­ Kinley law waa passed in 1890, and tvpealed in 1894; yet the benefits of ita reciprocity provisions had just begun to be felt. It takes time for trade to adjust itself to new conditions, especially be­ tween distant countries; and the ar­ rangements which are provided for by the Dingley law are not yet made. Spe­ cial Commissioner Kasson, who has this matter in charge, reports that a dozen or more countries have indicated a de­ sire to enter into reciprocal trade rela­ tions, and that the reciprocity features of the Dingley law will prove more sat­ isfactory, and more effective in pro­ moting our foreign trade, than those of the McKinley law. The so-called protests of foreign coun­ tries against the Din gley tariff taw do not seem to have had any more effect upon our commerce with thosd*coun­ tries than they did in congress. No at­ tention was paid to them by the latter, and commerce ia now paying no atten­ tion to them. An investigation of the subject shows that the 13 countries which made formal protects against certain features of the tariff law of 1897, in the two months in which the de­ tails of our exports can be obtained, have purchased $131,448,503 in value of our products and merchandise, against only $107,077,586 in ythe corresponding months of last year under the Wilson law. The Dingley law is all right. It will produce ample revenue; it will extend trade through reciprocity; it already lias revivified our industries, and put tens of thousands of men nt work. The people have had a thorough trial of the free trade theory, and do not desire an­ other period of depression and hard times sucli ns we had from 1893 to 1897. —Toledo Blade. DETROIT. MICH LEADERS M MIchtraa Factories. . The average aggregate monthly pay roll of Michigan factories for the past year, as reported by Chief Factory In­ 1 spector Cox. was $3,025,029, There were " of 3.404 factories Ln operation, tevhilf 392 were idle. Only 2,910 were running full time. The number of per­ sons employed was 117.081, of 'whom 99,326 were males. A feature of the situation is that while the percentage of accidents to the total number of fac­ tories waa 7.02 last year it was but 4 7 this year, the difference beiag due to the strict enforcement of the factory inspection law.

This name was inspired by an incident of long ago, which tradition relates aa follows: In the winter season some woodsmen were traveling to their work across the pond one brisk morn­ ing. They became a little thirsty or chilled with the frosty air. They car­ ried with them, aa was customary in those days, some New England rum. Having no vessel in which to mix their toddy, they cut a hole in the ice, poured ixi their rum, mixed their toddy, und drank it. Bo the pond has ever since been associated in name with thia unique punch. Buekles’s AraSea Oalve DANGEROUS CATERPILLARS. The caterpillar of the puss moth, quite a common insect in this country, has a most effective way of defending himself, aud may prove, as we shall presently see, dangerous even to hu­ man beings, says a writer in Cham­ bers’ Journal. This well-protected cat­ erpillar is provided between its head and forelegs with a cleft, from which it can protrude an organ capable of squirting out a quantity of -very acid fluid to a considerable distance, and when alarmed it habitually makes use of this formidable weapon. In one of the entomological maga­ zines a correspondent state* that he was observing some of these caterpil­ lars in captivity, when he happened to disturb one, and it suddenly squirt­ ed out a quantity of fluid in a jet, which struck one of his eyeballs, though hto head at the time was quite two feet away from the insect He rushed off in great agony tp a doctor, who told him that the eyeball waa in a very dan­ gerous condition. Hia eye waa totally blind for hours after the occurrence, and it was some days before he finally recovered. What, the effect of this fluid must be upon smaller creatures we leave our readers to imagine!

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
