Greencastl© people awoke this morning to find the scene of inves-

At Very Low ligation of the Fort Thomas trageRate of Interest | dv frora th '* vicinitv of

Newport and Cincinnati to the borders of Greeneastle. Last night two detectives and three reporters came in on the Rig Four, the train being late and landing them here at three o’clock this morning. Ever since the finding of the dead woman near Ft. Thomas, near Newport, Ky., and the development of the fact that she had on a pair of shoes bearing the marks of Louis & Hays, Greeneastle, Ind., the authorities of Cincinnati and Newport have inclined to the opinion that the body was that of some woman from this city. Yesterday they crew firm in this belief and last night started their detectives for this place. The Cincinnati papers telegraphed their correspondents here that there was a story afloat that a woman was missing from this city, but the people here know of no one

who is suddenly missing.

The party arriving last night registered at the Commercial and consists ot Jule Plummer, sheriff; Detectives Cal. Crim and John Me Dermott; Frank Crawford, of the Tribune, Theodore Mitchell, Knquirer, and C. E. Lambertson, 1'ost, the last three being newspaper men. A probable clew was developed yesterday ami it rapidly ripened as it was talked over and dates were compared.

that the dead woman had a small wart on one thumb and that her toes were slightly detormed. Kesterson could not say that his wife was thus marked in any way. He says she had never been a mother. The officers did not regard Kester soli’s story with very much favor. Kesterson heard from his wife about a month ago through his mother; other letters later to friends here showed that Mrs. Kes terson was with her mother, Mrs. W.K. Strother, at Saltilloville, Ind.,

Sxnd news to Telephone 95.

Governor Matthews has decided not to call a special session of the legislature. We believe the gov ernor is failing to take advantage of a grand opportunity. It the republicans bate to fight the battle on the 1885 line, however, they with any thing like the last sweep have nothing to fear. General Harrison’s letter defining his position on the presidential question is given today in our news columns. It is the political sensation ol the hour and changes the figuring of the other candidates considerably. A great many people in Indiana would be pleased to march under the Harrison banner again this year, but his intimate friends are not surprised at his decision. He lias a wonderful hold upon the Hoosiers and, in fact, upon the entire country. The letter is a finality and Indiana republicans will so accept it. Who will be their choice is now tlie lead Ing question. For the Ladies. lion. Chas. B. Lore, CM»f Justice of Delaware, bays: “My wife has received great benefit from the use of Braziiiau Balm.” A strong solution in warm water used daily as an injection quickly and permanently relieves soreness and iuuammation.

Cooper, a tinner who had been employed at Waggoner’s shop. The couple went to Kentucky and Mrs. Kesterson’s mother wrote a letter here from her home in Saltiloville, Ind, to the papers, claiming that Mrs. K., had been abused by her husband and further justified her course in leaving him. Kesterson went to Louisville on Thanksgiving day on the foot ball excursion and after returning here told friends that he had seen Cooper in Louisville; that Cooper had joined the regular army and was there waiting as assignment. Kesterson further stated that his wife had gone to the vicinity of Newport, Ky.. and that she and Cooper had had trouble. Parties here acquainted with Mrs. Kesterson say she answers the descriptions published in the papers to a great extent. The theory if Keaterson’s story is straight is the most tangible clew so far developed. There is no evidence that. Mrs. Kesterson ever purchased any such shoes however. Another story started yesterday late was that a couple arrived here from Indianapolis late in November and that one of them resembled the dead woman’s description. The couple consisted of a young woman fairly good looking, and an old woman. They walked here from Indianapolis and 'inquired for a trunk which had been shipped to them from that point. The trunk was here and the parties had it reshipped to Crawfordsville to which city they also walked. While here the younger one bought a pair of shoes and a colored woman says she saw the purchase made and that the shoes were cloth tops. The girl swore considerably and the first break she made at Agent Abrams of the American express company was the information that the weather was “cold as h—1.” She wore a long cloak and good clothes and they stopped at [ Joe Stewart’s boarding house where I the girl chewed tobacco much to! the cook’s disgust.

During the afternoon a man giving the name of licCready called at the Newport police headquarters and asked permission to see the body. He stated that he had just arrived from Greeneastle, Ind., and had information about a girl or young woman wl.o was missing from that city. He refused to give the name of the person referred to, saying he desired to keep it from the public until the fact was established that the e'ead girl proved to

be the one.

Mr. McCready was taken to White’s undertaking establishment and after carefully examining the body, and noting the features and marks, asked to take back to his home a sample of the cloth in the dress worn by the murdered woman. This was supplied him, and be returned to ('ineinnati to take the evening Big Four train for Green-

When seen by a Commercial Gazette representative just before bis departure, Mr. McCready refused to make any statement as to whether or not fie hail identified the body as that of the missing Greeneastle girl. He said that lie would refrau from talking until he

incuts of all extensive advertisers are now prepared more carefully and skilfully with regard to both their literary construction and their typographical display. They are better written and they are artistic in appearance. They pre sent more attractiyely and strikingly the peculiar features and advantages of the business or articles advertised. They give information

public in a form

and a manner that make it readable also. Advertising space is costly in all newspapers in wh’ch it is worth while to advertise, and consequently such business announcements contain only the words necessary to produce the desired impression. There is no redundancy in them. Every word is made to tell; and therein is the secret of the most effective writing. The expression of many of these advertisements nowadays is so far p'eturesque that they attract the reader simply by »heir literary art. In typographical form, too, they are made to command attention. No reader of a newspaper can pass them by. They force themselves on his notice, and he is as likely to read them as any other of the con-

tents of the paper.

At present there is complaint among small dealers with a merely neighborhood trade that great establishments in cities are drawing away their business. Of course, it is so; but the reason why such concerns are monopolizing trade is not that they are using unfair means to absorb the patronage of their petty rivals. They have no mo nopoly of the method by which they draw to themselves the trade tormerly distributed among great numbers of little shops. There is no secret about the cause of their vastly larger volume of business. The way to it is open to everybody else. The profitable d'stinetion they enjoy was secured by advertising. Except for it, every one of them would now be doing a comparatively and even an actually

houses that secure fame for their business by conspicuous and persistent advertising will go on absorbing the trade of their competitors who do not use that means of obtaining publicity and distinction. That is inevitable and it is irresistible. The present very interesting and striking revolution in advertising methods is, therefore, only the beginning of a development which will produce radical changes in the business world. The advantages offered by the widely circulated and influential newspaper as a means of securing publicity for all business enterprises are only beginning to be appreciated, and the art of advertising has only lately begun to receive the careful cultivation its importance demands.

They can find no foothold where the blood is kept pure, rich and full of vitality, the appetite good and digestion vigorous, with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the one true blood purifier.

advertising during the last four or five years has been very remarkable. The newspaper advertisement has changed radically both in form and character.
