Banks and business houses are fading in all p^ as •f the country, and the end is L j yet. * n; Get ready for the arrival of “prosperity” which is promised at the beginning of the New Year, and make it the guest of honor—il it comes. Employes who voted for “confidence” and “prosperity” on a promise of work and better wages, are given the “siony stare” when they ask for the fulfillment of that pledge. The Standard Oil Company having paid a few millions to the election of McKinley, is now reducing the wages of its employes, to reimburse itself for the little sum so kindly donated to the campaign managers. “Confidence” is a great thing for the few, to the detriment of the many. Brother Everts rather favors the idea of holding elections for postmastership. Don’t enter such a contest, Frank, you would not be in it with some of the old heads, who are able to manipulate the vote. Stay with Congrest-man Henry and perhaps he may think of you, at least, here’s hoping.

In speaking of the Fornax Mills in our special edition of last week, we omitted the fact that this establishment is equipped with a special mill for grinding rye and buckwheat Hour. O her mills use only the wheat rolls for this purpose, but the enterprising proprietor of this concern, H. H. Breraercamp, has shown commendable enterprise in thus fitting out his mill and it is appreciated by the people through giving it preference when rye and buck wheat Hour is used. - After sumning up affairs the secretary of the treasury gravely tells us that there are but $1,600,000,000 in existance in the United States, but in looking at bank reports we find that they h rve $4,^00,000,000 loaned. Ab >ut $2,700,000,000 worth of “confidence” must be floating around loose somewhere. By this it can be plainly seen that the farmers and merchants are paying interest on nearly $3,000,000,000 that do not exist at all, and yet our Sound Money friends tell us that there is plenty of money in the country to do on. Perhaps they can tell us now, what with -‘confidence” and “prosperity” restored has occasioned the “slight flurry in business” circles for the past few days.

DKNBRTHII PBOIUOTION. «. W. NlaeEdwarda Tranaferrrd to Elmira New York. Friends of W.G. Mac Edward, the popular and capable Division Passenger Agent of* the Erie Railway in this city, have known for some time of an unsolicited promotion which awa’ts him at the beginning of the new year, but at his request, the Herald has refrained from making public announcement of the fad. The appointment which has been tendered and accepted is that of Division Passeng-r Agent of the Erie main line from Honellsville, New York, to Port Jervis, with jurisdiction over the Jeflersou, Tioga and Honesdale branches. His headquarters will beat Elmiia, New York.

Mr. Mac Edward has been an employe of the Erie Company nearly twelve years. He was first employed in the office of General Manager Broughton at Chicago, and has also served the Company in the offices of its Treasurer and its Auditor. Later on, he was the Company agent at Renton, and then at Huntington. In 1893, he was appointed the Division Passenger Agent between Chicago and Marion, and so acceptable has be*-n bis work that, he is now transferred to a wider and more responsible position. There is no citizen of Huntington but who regrets his transfer to ;iip other field, for he has been a pains taking, courteous official, and is a gentleman warmly esteemed by a large acquaintance. Congratula tions and regrets are heard on every hand and he leaves Huntington with the cordial good wishes of all. —Huntington Herald. Mr. Mac Edward’s many friends in this city will be glad to hear of his promotion. FREE school books. There will be hundred-* of trivial and worthless bills presented at the next state legislature r bat will be stifled before they draw a single breath of existence, but there are several that are worthy of adoption. Among them is one tor placjtg the printing of school books the control of the state, and ttr^ 4 distribution ot these books to the school children entirely free of charge. At tjie present time, the average ’pl-'T of school children to tjie the j is abouto,ooo. At th£ very firs.. I of $2 for books, per>ime Vid scratch paper for each child fill- °g a term ot six months, the Avo fper county is about $14,000 and ip ne entire state $1,288,000. On the parent pays a profit of 25 pe'i- cent, so that under state contro taxpayers would save $33,000. If the bill is passed each township trustee or city school board will draw on the state loris many books as are needed district. These books will be placed in charge of th» various teachers just as are lead and slate pencils and other free supplies at the present tune. Pennsylvania has the free book system and has found that it brings many worthy but poor children into the schools, saves the profits on books and aids her in enforcing her compulsory educational law. <>BITI IKY. Mary S. Holthouse, wife of J. B. Holthouse died Dee. 21 and was buried Dec. 24 from the St. Marys Catholic church Decatur, Ind. Mrs. Hoithotise was afliietvd for years with’ that" hopeless disease Consumption. She was born April 23, 1857 in Louisville, Ky. and moved to Decatur with mother, two brothers and one sister in 1873. Her brother Louis preceded her in death by four years. She was married to John B. Holthouse, a prosperous business man in May 1880., v Thii} ever happy union was blest with six children, thre<* boys and three girls, the yodnges of which is but an infant child, hence the death is all the more to be lamented for “What is home without a mother.” These children and husband will certainly mins her at home, as wife, mother and entertainer in music.- She was a good ! Christian mother ami for this-she has reaped her reward. She fought j against death, against hope, consid- | enng it almost impossible to leave her children. God’s ways are strange, often incomprehensible to man, and yet we know by faith He does all things for Out- own good. Mrs. Holthouse will be missed but not forgotten.

SWINDLED FARMERS Religious Young Men Sell Them Shares l« a Judgment. CONTRACT FOR GUN CARRIAGES. Illinois Wheat Or«p Thought to Killed—Merchant Charged With Beat lag Hix'Wife—Anna Bom Missing—Al. ton Naval Militia—Peculiar Case el Nervons Prostration* - Clinton, Ind., Deo. 30.—A few weeks ago a couple of well dressed, ministerial looking gentlemen appeared in Hall township, north ot this city. They had plenty of funds, and as they were alive in religions matters and led in family prayer wherever they went, it went without saying that they were two young preachers who had come to feast on the pure ozone of Vermillion county. They corrected the erroneous impression relative to their calling. They said that they were Christians and had come t« do the common people much good. They were solicitors for the Union Pacific Railroad company, and their mission was to give those whom they saw fit a chance to get rich on a comparatively small investment. They explained that the. government had issued bonds, during the construction of the road, payable to the company. for many million dollars, but never redeemed them and had defaulted the interest; that suit had been brought against the government by the individual stockholders, but was allowed to drop because of lack of funds. They showed clippings from Chicago, New York and Washington papers, which said that the claim would be paid as soon as the stockholders prosecuted it; one clipping being from the Chicago Record, wherein President Cleveland advised paying the claim without further litigation. The stockholders had decided to issue stock against the coming judgment in order to raise money to continue the suit, and they were authorized to issue SSO shares for that purpose. A SSO share would return $lO,000 on the investment. A number of jarmera nibbled at the bait and are now looking for the men who swindled them. SHOT BY OFFICERS.

Hartford City, Ind., Dec. 30.— George Hickok of Montpelier, recently blown to pieces iji a nitroglycerine ex-* plosion, carried s'.Boo in the A. O. U.

Are you one of the number that was duped? If you are, why do you continue it? J. Thos. W. Luckey helped up hundreds, why not you? He sells goods al no higher prices and many tunes at much lower prices than any ether tiYsielass store, and if you deliver your own purchases he gives you 5 per cent discount, (i e) buy 20 cents worth, pay him 19 cents and deliver the parcel yourself. Here is a chanc - for the farmers, who are forced io help keep up the enormous expense of tree <leiivery, but share none of the benefits. And the ci-ty-school j boy can make many a dune too by going to Luckey’s when you are sent down town for goods. Remember the place ami also that regular prices will be charged when goods are wanted delivered. 3 2tf While Hie Ainereean Business ColI < ge, of Omilia.
