In the Push all Year.

In every community there are a few progressive merchants who push for trade at all times, and especially when the other fellows are not pushing. These are the men who get business away from competitors, and who do the bulk of the business all the year round.—Nathaniel Fowler.

Greenfield has a number of merchants of the above character, and we are glad to say they do the bulk of the business. The goods sold by merchants who advertise are fivsher and cheaper than those of non advertising merchants. Always patronize the advertisers for the best bargains, both as to quality and prices.

The Government Owed JSx-Postniaster lavis jSl.TS.

Ex-postmaster Isaac Davis has received a very pleasing letter from the post office department at Washington. The letter contained the statement that after a careful going over and checking up of all his accounts, vouchers etc., the department found that the government owed him $1.75, and inclosed a draft for that amount. Mr. Davis says where the difference came in, was that in checking up his last months work, which was in January, he W88 not technical, but called January a 30 day month so as to make the fractional part of his time even. The government however called it 31 days and .remitted Mr. Davis the amount due him. It is a first rate showing for Mr. Davis and one he should feel honored by.

MORE BONES FOUND.

Bnt Little £lse Unearthed in the Holmes* Castle in Chicago.

CRmvm, July 3J.—Digging in th« cellar of the Holmes building yesterday and last night was l«ss fruitful than any day yet spent in investigating the underground schemes of the Philadelphia swindler. Bones by the dozen were

fQund,

Rather a significant bit of inforina~ tion came to the police yesterday when a Mrs. Strowers of Sixty-first and Morgan streets informed the police that Holmes had once persisted in her taking out $10,000 life insuvance policy. Not only did Holmes beg her to take out the policy, she said, but he also offered he'r $6,000 for it. Her friends, she said, dissuaded her from taking Holmes' advice and she never saw hiiu. afterward.

Clinton Sherman, formerly living at 646 Sixty-ninth street, and now at Dalton, 111., came to Holmes' castle yesterday afternoon and said he had been employed by the mysterious Richardson, now missing, to remove bodies from the castle and deliver them to Chappell, the articulator of the medical college. Sherman's name was found several daysago among the private papers of Holmes. Detective Fitzpatrick discovered he had been an inmate jf the castle. Sherman is a colored man. H& heard he was wanted and left the produce farm on which he was working and came to the city at once. He told of several mysterious happenings in connection with the removal of bodies which, he was told, were "stiffs" procured from cemeteries and hospitals to be sold to medical students.

Qninlan, who has not been disturbed in his solitude since Monday night, will be conducted to the "sweat box" in Central station and be given another chance to explain some of the accusations that are made against him.

Jow Owen, the Ohio farmer, who is also a prisoner at the armory, persists in the assertion that Qumlan was. Holmes accomplice in every crime the swindler made and executed.

but nothing of tangible

evidence can be found. Tlie laborers, confined their work principally to the southeast end of the basement where was located the mysterious box. An investigation of the tank revealed nothing even as circumstantial evidence against Holmes. The tank was easily made accexsiibfe and 110thwas found therein but a small qSTntity of petroleum in its raw state. Nowhere were there traces of carbolic acid or other fluids which might have been used by Holmes in putting away his victims.

A private account book kept by Holmes has been discovered in a grate at the Sixty-third street house. The book was found with a bundle of letters adtassed by various women to Holmes, tv'fiich had evidently been placed tnere for burning. The accounts which date back to May 1, 1885, show the owners dealings with various people and an entry regarding insurance shows the existence of insurance deals as early as 1880c A mysterious "Dora" is mentioned as the recipient of numerous small sums which are carefully recorded and the minutes of the Englewood company are also given with tho election of the directors and transaction of other business.
