THE WAY THAT IT WORKS Senator Aldrich declared the other day that the duties on cotton goods as fixed in the new tariff bill would not be higher than the Dingley rates. The New York Times however furnishes proof to the contrary. It shows that! the general committee of the wholesale dry goods merchants of New York has analyzed the Aldrich duties, with astonishing results. Take, for example, plain white cotton goods, mercerized such as are used for women s and children’s wear. The analys’s shows that the Aldrich bill almost doubles the Dingley duty the increase being, on this class of goods, 93% per cent. The duty on the same goods of a somewhat higher quality has been

increased 121% per cent. Upon simple colored cotton dress goods, used by persons of humble means, valued at 15.10 cents a square yard, the Dingley duty is thirty-five per cent, ad valorem equal to 5.53 cents a yard. The Aldrich bill increases this duty to seven cents a square yard, or to eight cents if mercerized, an increase of 2.71 cents a yard or 5114 per cent, over the Dingley rate. On ordinary white goods used for women's and children's wear the duty has been increased 48% per cent. Cotton cloth valued at 15.75 a square yard dyed in plain colors, now coming in under a Dingley duty of forty per cent ad valorem, gets an increase of twenty-seven per cent, under the revising manipulations of the Aldrich committee. Colored sateen a common article used for women’s skirts and waists and for linings, valued at 20.96 a square yard now dutiable ai forty per cent, goes up 46%.

It seems to be accepted generally in the state that if the Prohibitionists and anti-saloonists can, either by partisan or "non-partisan" action, secure a suitable foothold in the next legislature the Hon. J. Frank Hanly is to be hurled into the breach as their candidate for the United States senate. There is also talk to the effect that if Mr. Hanly does not succeed in his senatorial aspirations he will again be

Vance Submitted to Operation Yesterday AT FORT WAYNE Superfluous Growth Was Removed from His Hand O. L. Vance, of the firm of Elzey, Vance and Hite, yesterday went to Fort Wayne, where he submitted to an operation for the removal of a superfluous growth on his hand. More than a year ago Mr. Vance noted the appearance of an unnatural growth on ' I the top of his hand, but as it did not lat first cause him inconvenience he I paid little attention to it. Later, how- ! ever, it became acutely painful. Simultaneously it increased in size and he was caused much alarm. An op- | eration several months ago relieved temporarily the affliction but the , growth reappeared and assumed dangerous proportions. He went to Fort Wayne yesterday where Dr. Porter performed an operation for its re- | moval and it is now thought that he ■ will recover ultimately. Mr. Vance re-1 turned last evening and will resume ' duties at the store soon. The affec-1

tion had become so serious that Mr. Vance had partially lost the use of his fingers. o •TWAS A GLORIOUS VICTORY. There’s rejoicing in Fedora, Tenn.

A royal surprise was given Mrs. John R. Evans’ Thursday evening by over a hundred of her friends and neighbors from both sides of the river.

In a few well directed remarks Mr. C. D. Kunkle introduced Mrs. H. E. Butler, who made the presentation speech. We would like to give this speech in full but it being so lengthy space will not permit. The evening was spent in playing games and social chat and all enjoyed themselves to the limit. At a late hour the guests departed, thanking Mr' and Mrs. Evans for the hospitality extended them, also wishing Mrs. Evans the return of many such pleasant surprises.

Mr .Myers is a lover of the art of fishing. He desires, however, to have easy access to the finny tribe and consequently a quarter of acre of land is being appropriated for a pogd in which he will place a large number of bass and other good fish. The work is now going on and will be completed before many weeks pass. Mr. Myers will then Inaugurate a new scheme in the fishing line and when the bass and other species become large enough to put up a real gams fight a number of the boys have faithfully promised that they will assist him in catching them. At any rate the pond will be the source of much amusement for Mr. Myers and his friends.

OFF FOR NIAGARA Thirty-Five Adams County People Take in the Excursion TO NIAGARA FALLS Agent Did Not Have Enough Tickets to Supply Patrons The Clover Leaf excursion to Niagara Falls which left Decatur this morning was well patronized by Adams county folk, thirty-five from Decatur and Berne leaving for the' pleasant journey. Not expecting such l a large number to go the agent had only secured thirty tickets, hence he was compelled to telegraph to Ohio City for the remaining five, which are to give to the passengers when they arrived in that town. The trip will be a delightful one. At Continental the train was transferred to the Nickel Plate line and from there will proceed to Niagara. The tickets are good for one week, and most of the Adams county people will remain that long. Fourteen Berne people went on the excursion and the following are a number of the Decatur people who took in the excursion: Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Baumgartner, Mrs. C. D. Murray, Mrs. Cheney, Mr. and Mrs. ißud Brokaw, Mrs. Carrie Southerland, Ada Delninger, Bertha and Rose Voglewede and Herbert and Dwight Lachot. All expect to have a great time.
