Several letters of late addressed to The Democrat have gone astray in the mails and have not reached the office. The only safe way to remit money is by chock, draft or postal money order. The latter costs but three cents for amounts not exceeding $2.50; five cents up to $5.00, and such remittances are absolutely safe. In renewing his a übeoription to The Democrat Mr. J. A. Schrieber of Hillman, Wash., says: “We are having fine warm weather in Washington; cattle are feeding on grass all winter and the temperature to-day (Jan. 2) at 2 p. m„ is 45 above. Seattle, is three miles from Hillman and is a flourshing oity. This is certainly a fine climate in whioh to live. I am working at the carpenter’s trade and am getting $4 per day for eight hours work.” Mr. Schrieber formerly resided in Kankakee tp., this county. A move was on foot this week to induce the merchants to close their places of basinets to April 1, except on Monday and Saturday nights, at 6p. m. It is said that very little business is done during the evening at this season of the year, and the little that is done oould just as well come in during the day, as it is with town people. The clerks have little time at their homes or with their families under the present arrangement, and it is hoped that the one or two business men who have thus far stood ont against the proposition will come in and give the matter a trial for a few months.
