Til COST OF I-IVINt ANHWAGKS. Three years ago under the auspices of the senate committee on finance, Col. Carroll 1. \Vrig-lit. the commissioner of labor, made a thorough investigation for the purpose of ascertaining-the condition of wages and the cost of living anong the working- people of the United States at that period, in comparison with previous years. The wages were taken from actual payrolls and the prices of merchandise from actual sales, covering a period of fifty-two years from 1*10 to IS'.M, inclusive. and were intended to show both by general and specitie comparison the true course of wages, and the cost of diving. William E. Curtis, the accomplished correspondent of the Chicago Htct'i-if, has condensed Colonel Carroll's report into small space which makes it interesting and instructive, lie says: The year l.sflu was taken as a standard because it represents more nearly than any other normal economical conditions, while ls-10 and ls'Jl represent the opposite extreme limit of general conditions. In IS to prices were low. labor was low and immi grants had not begun to enter the country to any extent. In ISsU prices tvere low again, wages were high and immigration was at its highest tide. In making comparisons, prices and wages in 1SU0 were taken as par. Whatever they happened to le they were quoted at 100. Starting from this point, it was found that in forty-five of the most common ^ridustries. by taking the actual wages, the average paid per day in 1?40 was ST, as compared with 100 in 1SG0 that in 181)0. the high-tide of war prices, they were 152, and in 1 i'.iI they were Hid, or almost double what was paid for the same labor in 1*40. Again, taking the twenty-two more important industries, the averages were S2 in 1840. lOu ill 1S50, 155 in 1&00 and His in 1*01. In estimating the cost of living the actual prices of 823 articles recognized as the necessaries of life were taken and an average reached by the same method, taking the cost in lStlO as the standard of comparison. It was found that the average for 1S40 was i7: in ]s00 it was 100: in 1800 it was 1ST. and in ISM it was M4. That is to say, whatever cost SI in 1 S'iO cost '.'4 cents in lsttl. The con elusion, therefore, was clear and posi ive that while the cost of living is today 3 per cent, lower than it was in 1 40 the average price of labor is -Hi per cent, higher. For example the journeyman carpenter received §1.50 a day in 1S40: in 1 Silo he received Si a day in 1»G6, 53,50. and in Is'.H. $3.50. In ls!'l he worked eight hours a day: in the previous year he worked ten and twelve hours. His earnings these years were S9, S12, 821 and $21 a week. At the same time his cost of living was
SI0.22 per week in 1S40, S10.T3 in l-00. $3jvtfi In 1WH5 and SI2.17 in 18UI. In ls-10, after paying his expenses for the week he would have been in debt S1.22: in I860 he would have had SI.27 left of his weekly wages: in 1*60 "lie would have been in debt (Hi cents, while in Is'.tl, according to Mr. Wright figures, lie would have §?.S3 to spare. In lslo he paid 12 cents a yard for his calico: in IsiiO, 21 cents, and in lsiu, cents, .for the same quality and material.
WHAT has become of the pest house project? Small pox has broken out in different parts of the State, and no man can tell the day or the hour that it will not make its appearance here. Are we prepared to properly care for the unfortunate patient should we have one? A pest house should be built and built at once.
Tin: Indianapolis .Journal says as a matter of fact, Mr. Urookshire's finance bill is of the free coinage variety, but no sort of a bill can save Mr. Klijah oorhees lirookshire. The Journal is right.
Jonx PATTON has been appointed by Governor Kich, of Michigan, as United Suites Senator to succeed the late Senator Stockbridge. He will serve until the Legislature meets next Winter.
THE more the proposed tariff bill is considered the more apparent does it become that instead of being a bill for the poor man and the farmer, it is one lr the, rich man and the monopolist.

CHAPmt XXVII —Continued.
"Thank tiod! thank God for that!" cried the girl, joyously, while the tears of gladness rushed into her eyes.
Hut the sight of her joy ani the glad look- on her face inflamed all the man's wild jealousy. "l!y Heaven, lass, do you want to drive me mad even now?'1 he cried. Springing forward, lie threw his arms round her and, despite her fierce struggles, he held her to his heart and printed hot, burning kisses of desperate and despairing passion on her face and lips. "My God, how I love you," he cried passionately. "It is good to die like this."
Mary struggled with him, and would have screamed out in disgust and loathing and fear of him, but he smothered lier screams with his kisses. "Kiss me once, Mary, just once," he pleaded but she struggled the more desperately to breakaway from him. lie held her firmly until, releasing her from his arms, he gripped her wrist and dragged her toward the drawer in which lay the revolver.
This he took out and then closed the drawer. "One last kiss, my darling," he cried. "'Twill be the last my lips will ever give or yours receive."
Then he wound his arms around lier, and for an instant renewed his madly passionate kisses. "Good-by, my darling," he exclaimed, after a minute, and, moving back from where they had stood, he freed his right hand, in which he held the revolver.
Mary closed lier eyes, knowing what was coming. At that instant a slight sound broke the deathly silence of the place, and the man paused. The girl opened her eyes, and, seeing his hesitation, broke away from him by a sudden and violent endeavor.
His hesitation passed asquiekly, and he rushed after her with the revolver pointed at her, and when Mary saw him approaching she cowered in a corner and screamed and covered her eyes, and waited for the death that seemed so close.
Then came the sound of feet moving rapidly across the room, a slight struggle and a heavy fall. "You villain! You lying, luring, cheating villain! Is this your love for me'?"
It was Savannah Morbyn's voice, and when Mary opened her eyes she saw the man lying on the floor, bleeding from a fearful wound in the back, while Savannah, her face blazing with alight of mad rage, was standing over him, holding aloft the long bloodstained dagger with which she had struck him down.
Then in an instant her face changed and she began to laugh. Almost as suddenly, another change showed, and throwing the dagger away to the end of the room. Savannah burst into a st. Tin of tears and threw herself beside the prostrate, wounded man, moaning and shuddering, and sobbing, and call ing upon his name with many terms of caressing endearment.
Then Mary stole away quietly from the place to go for assistance, only half comprehending the meaning of the scene.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT IS THE MILL Faint and trembling with fright, Mary ^sitated in doubt for a moment how to get out of the mill. Knowing that both the doors and gates were locked, she thought of the small wiudows through one of which she had before intended to try and escape.
Her limbs were shaking so violently that she scarce keep her feet, but she made a great effort to regain self-com-uiand, and reflecting that perhaps the issue of life and death depended upon her speed, she ran through the long work-rooms and down the narrow staircase to the corner, where the two or three windows were which overlooked Watercourse lane.
They were closed and fastened, but after a little delay she succeeded In opening one, through which she was able to escape. The rush of the cold night air restored her somewhat.
Without thinking to whom she should go—for she was still too dazed and frightened to think correctly—she ran instinctively in the direction of her own cottage. When she reached it there was a surprise in store for her. Gibeon I'rawle stood by the door.
At the sight of him the girl's intense excitement broke her down. She burst into tears and stood clinging to liis arm, sobbing hysterically, unable to speak a word and gasping, as if for air. "What's the matter. Mary?" he asked, wondering and alarmed. "Has anything happened? What is it?"
Then she managed to tell him something of what had occurred and to urge him to go for assistance. "Iteubcn Gorringe stabbed by Savannah!" he cried, in intense excitement, "How came you all there?" "Don't stay to ask now," she said, hurriedly. "Go for help. Go at once. I cannot move another step." "She's mad," he cried, breathlessly. "I've traced her. I came back to tell you," and with this he ran ofl! at top speed for a doctor and the police.
The girl looked for a moment after him as he disappeared in the darkness, then tottered into the cottage and, feeling utterly prostrated and weak, had rnly strength to drag herself to her bed and sink down upon it exhausted, calling In a feeble voice to her mother to come and help her. When the latter came the girl had fainted.

THE RESULT
OF AN AMERICAN WOMAN'S WORK.
Not An Assertion, Itut Truth, l'rovcu by the Aceninitialed Testimony of 20 Years.
arret\L TO on vi KK.vwns?.) IlEliE'S a reason for it, when a special remedy for a special disease maintains the lirst place in the faith of the people for twenty years when, year after year, the confidence given cau
tiously at first rolls into a tremendous volume when one woman's name is known throughout the civilized world when letters by the thousands come by every mail from all parts of the earth in gratitude and praise when druggists place this remedy first on the list of standard remedies.
Then there is a reason for It. Ljidin E. 1'inkham and her wonderful Vegetable Compound, deserve the first place in the hearts of womankind.
J.yilin J'iuklmm'is Vegetable Compound has cured more women from all disease arising from irregularity and derangement of the uterus and womb than any remedy known to medical science.

Dear Mrs. PhMam, East winter I did not think my little ones would have a mother long. I suffered terribly with female troubles.
I could keep nothing on my stomach, and got so "poor" my friends hardly knew me. I suffered with severe headaches, dizziness, faintness, backache, and the blues.
Thanks to Eydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound, I am now as fa', as ever, and have no female troubles.
If you use my letter 1 hope it may be the means of saving some other poor mother's life as it did mine.—Mi:s. EI.T.A VAN BURKX, St. David, Fulton Co., 111.
at the cottage asking for"her. and, although she was still faint and weak and ill, she dressed herself and went to him. "You are ill," he said, when he saw the pale wan look on her face. "Can you bear to hear news?" "I have come to hear it," she answered. "1 can bear anything better than suspense. What happened last night?" "I only know a little about that, have other news—good news it should be for you. Can you bear to hear that? 1 was waiting last night to tell you when you found me here." "What is it? About Tom?" As she asked this alight pink flush just tinged her cheeks, and her eyes brightened. "Yes," lie answered. "I have determined to tell the truth and risk all consequences." "The truth?" cried Mary and her old suspicions concerning him flashed upon her, and showed in the look she bent upon him (To Be Continued.)

Some people have a prejudice against plasters, because, as they think, they burn and blister. That is true of many but not of Allcock's Porous Piasters. They never irritate the skin, but always have a soothing effect.
They are useful in case of any local pain and as a rule will bring immediate relief. If they do not, it is because the trouble litis been allowed to become so serious that no external remedy will reach it, and the chances are that any treatment will fail.
For stitches in the side, weakness or lameness of the back, stiffness of the joints Allcock's Porous Plasters have been proved again and again to be not only a relief, but a cure.
Brandreth's Pills arc safe to take at any time.
A Household Treasure.
"D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, ST. Y., says that he always .keeps Dr. King's Xew Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman, druggist, Catskill, N. Y. says that Dr. King's Xew Discovery is undoubtedly the best Cough remedy: that he has used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottles free at Cotton A Kife' the Progress Pharmacy. Large site 50c. add 81.00.
A Dairyman's Opinion.
There is nothing I have ever used for muscular rheumatism that gives me as much relief as Chamberlain's Pain Balm does. I have been using it for about two years—four bottles in all as occasion required, and always keep a bottle of it in my home. I believe I know a good thing when I get hold of it, and Pain Balm is the best liniment I have ever met with. W. li. Denny dairyman. New Lexington. Ohio. 50 cent bottles for sale by Xye & liooe, 111 Washington street, opposite court house.
Speciini1!) Cases.
S. II. Clifford. New Cassel. Wis., was troubled with Neuralgia and rheumatism, his stomach was disordered, hi liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly reduced in llesfi and strength. Three bottles of Electric Hitters cured him.
Edward .Shepherd. Ilarrisburg. 111. had a running sore on his leg of eight years' standing. Used three bottlesjof Electric Bitters and seven boxes of I Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Catawba. 0., had five large Fever sores on bis leg, doctors said die was incurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him entirely.
