TO ADVERTISING AGENTS.

We have an affection for that useful,
modest and self-sacrificing class of peo-
pie, in our large cities, known as advcr-
Using agents, and desire TO give them a
word of advice. 1t is this Save the
time, paper and postage stamps you are
now consuming for the benefit Gas you

not doing so large business that we
need TO hire great many agents, and

Using agents usually send to country
papers, at half price, agreeing to pay

very few times we have been in-
duced TO make contracts with advertis-
ing agents, and do not remember but tw o
Instances where We did not regret ii
before we got through with them. Not
once in hundred times are they will
ing to pay the prices we charge for adj
vertising. and then they have the impu-
dence to demand one-fourth of the
earnings of the publishers for their SER
vices. And in addition to all this the
matter is generally such as is unfit to go
in the columns OF Il paper.
We guard our advertising columns
carefully, and before we would insert
advertisements unfit to go into the fam
lilies of our subscribers, we would lock
up our Office and throw the key away.
Quacks, secret doctors, rOt-gut whisky

to get to our readers through some

engaged in the business of advertising

So great is the desire for money now
a-days that we read accounts almost
daily of men killing themselves and
families because of losses in business.
OF course they are all insane. Two
such cases have happened lately, one
in Philadelphia and one near st. Paul,
Minnesota. In both cases the parties
suffered slight losses, and became in
sane, $50 the story goes) killed their
families and tried to kill themselves,
one of them succeeding. The particu-
lars of these affairs are almost heart
sickening; so much so that we do not
publish them. We do not consider it
very creditablc to our common human
ity to read that fellow-man can coolly
take an AK aud chop his own family to
pieces. Ali this shows that there is
something wrong. We arc nation of
noney-wOrshippers. These crimes are
committed in tho name of ''filthy lucre''
and it is time for our teachers to raise
their voices against this ''crying evil" of
the day. 1t is getting to be u little too
fashionable TO commit murder and sui
eide for the sake of money. Something
viii have to be done TO check the wide
spreading love OF money. Nearly all
the evils of the day are traceable TO the
desire TO get rich.

FIGHTING KANsANs.-Two Leaven-
worth men-both lumber merchants
named respectively IngersOll and Rush,
rivals in business and beligerent in dis
position, went to Chicago a few days
ago TO purchase lumber. They thought
too much of the fair fame of their own
city TO fight there, so they cOnclud-
ed to fight it cut in ChicagO-and thus
keep up the notoriety Of that city. In
gersoll threatened to take Rush's head
off with a piece of lumber, or some
other deadly weapon. Rush was ready
for his antagonist, and they rushed for
each other. The police, who are ever
on the lookout for misbehaving for
eigners, gobbled Mr.. IngersOll. He
was held for trial in the sum of $1,000.
and further bound over in peace war
rant in the sum of $500. So ended an
other Chicago sensation, but gotten
up this time by LeavenwoFth men,

A WARNING.-Mayo Hall of New
York has issued the following circular,
which is worthy of the attention of all
concerned:
l beg to caution strangers against
New York circulars, tickets, shares,
chances, and prospectuses in co-Operat-
i've unions, or gift enterprises, or dollar
stores, or in any other possible scheme
whereby property or value is promised
greater than the price asked to be paid.
Every such advertised scheme is nee
essarily swindle and false preteuse
there does not and cannot tangibly ex-
list any such schemes i'm this city.
Country newspapers which advertise
them simply aid in the swindie. If all
newspapers in the Union would now
make a point of publishing and reit-
Grating this information they will char
itably, and think effectually, counter
act the swindling intention of those
who use the mails for false prctenses,
and will also save to the unwary humid
reds of thousands of dollars.
Although we receive propositions al
most every week TO advertise these
swindIes, we believe THE News has
been kept free from them, always
knowing any scheme which promised a
large prize, which claimed to be worth
ten times the amount asked for it, was
downright swindle.
