DIED.-Mr. VIM. J. Granger died
last Wednesday at the residence of Mr..
David Chambers, on Chambers Prairie.
He was man of excellent reputation,
and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. At the time of his death
deceased was Treasurer of this county,
an Office he had filled with great credit
until illness made it necessary for tho
duties to devolve upon another. His
remains were inferred last Thursday
by the Masonic fraternity, of which
order he was faithful member.

EXPANSIVE CuRRENcY.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the N. Y. Sun
says that the giant intellect of Presi-
dent Grant has been for many weeks
past revolving the condition of mon
etary affairs, in the hope of devising
some simple, safe and practical plan of
restoring the country to prosperity.
He very early came to the conclusion
that the great want to be supplied was
an elastic currency, and invariably in
summing up the financial situation he
has insisted that more elasticity was the
only salvation of the country. After
bordering the subject many sleepless
nights, he struck upon a plan which
for ingenuity will challenge the admir-
alton of the civilized world. 1t is plain
and simple, and worthy its high origin.
The suggestion is merely to print all
the greenbacks on India rubber, and
we would have the most elastic currency
under the sun! We have heard of writ
ing due bills on sheep-skin for durabil-
ity but the Presidential idea of making
q dollar 80 any required length, caps
the climax of practical utility.

NOTED DEATHS.

The telegraph announces the death
on the 1ith inst, of the illustrious sci
enlist, Agassiz, whose researches have
contributed so much to the advance
ment of human knowledge. He was of
French descent, and born May 2Sth,
1907. Educated for the medical pro-
fession, his inclinations took wider
range, and he prosecuted his studies in
all the departments of animated nature.
his published works are many and
standard authority upon subjects they
treat. He came to the United States
in 1916, and his services were So
well appreciated by the American peo-
pie that he made it his home the re
Taindcr of his life.
Judge Nelson, of the U. S. Supreme
Court, died at Cooperstown, N. Y, on
the Sd inst, of appoplexy. He was
born in Hebron, Washington county,
n. Y, Nov. 10, 1892 He was of Irish
descent, graduated at Middlebury Col
lege, Vermont, in 1913, and practiced
his profession for several years, and in
1887 was appointed Judge of the Su-
preme Court of New York. He was
appointed q Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States in 1845.

SEATTLE's PROSPECTS, Intelligent
Ger says the statement of the Dispatch
that Gen. Cass, the President of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co., had
sent telegram to the Directors OF the
Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad, ask
ing what that company would do to-
wards securing the extension of the
Railroad to Seattle, is made without
authority; but intilnates that negotia-
tons are pending, which it would be
improper to reveal until final conclu-
sion is reached. There is doubtless
some truth in the Dipatch's statement
for none can realize better than the OF
fcers of the company the utter collapse
of the Tacoma bubble.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs having organized
to-day, proceeded in body to pay
their respects to Secretary Fish at the
Department of State. Being interro-
gated relative to the Ni'yinius matter,
the Secretary said: Everything is 60
ing on smoothly. Nothing has occurred,
or is likely to occur, to prevent Spain
from carrying out her promises.
There is tonight an official confirma'
ton of the report that the Nirginiu'
was lowed out of the harbor of Havana
this morning. It is considered reliable
in view of the fact that tho recentagree.
ment between Secretary Fish and Ad'
miral Polo contemplated to have the
surrender of the vessel to the United
States within little more than weel
from the time the agreement was made
and this movement is regarded as pre-
liminary to the fulfllment of stipula'
tons. The impression is that the sur
viving passengers and crew of the Nr.
eiaius will be delivered on the same
day.
