An advertisement published for sin,
gle day does duty beyond that day,
and its effect continues in n greater
ratio than most men imagine. In the
end it will make mans name per
mlnent matter, piece of real proper
ty bnilt up in ths minis of men until
it becomes more valuable than any
corner lot in his locality.
IF you lose watch, dog or child,
or if you desire people not to trust
your wife, YOU rush t" your local pa>

If those persons who profess to be.
lieve that newspaper advertisements
are not real by the public wish to be
convinced Of their error, just let them
give publicity to some matter they

they would soon attain.-AdvertiSer

NHY do people read advertiser ants?
To see who is enterpri>ing and to learn
what is going on. To see If there is
any:hins new, or anything that they
want To see if the seasons styles
have come in, and to find out who has
them. To know if any one is selling
off at reduced rates, or to watch the
chance of an auction. For amusement.
To satisfy curiosity. Because they
have read'all the stories, marriages,
births, deaths, locals and accidents =
Because they want to. Because they
can't help it.-Ohio State Journal
The power of print is well known,
but not well understood. A printed
sentence has wonderful advantage
over one that ia written or SPOKEN
This is one of the many reasons which
gives Pm importance to advertising. But
advertisers, even those of experience,
dn not comprehend as well as they
might the capacity to influence, to per-
suade, to convince, which lies in print
ed matter. Spnken words require the
graces of elocution and the force of
eloquence, yet even theL. fade away in.

flight and printed But there is some.
thing in the silent language. the quiet
assertion and the sense of permanence
about printed matter which gives it n
marvellous force and influence Bush
ness men should never permit them
selves To loose sight of what may be
accomplished by persevering use Of
the printing presses. Learn to adver>
tise, and then the .'how, when and
where" Of it, and you will have a
knowledge worth having.

They have a minister down
at Piketon who has the right
kind of grit. For some time
past his flock has been quite
dilatory about paying up their
quarlerage; he frequently men
toned the matter TO the brelh-
rem but they paid no attention
TO his appeals for what was
justly due him. So the other
Sunday, after delivering his
sermon, he again brought the
matter up-plainly telling his
congregation that if they did
not square up," he'd throw
up his charge and take his
jack plane and 60 to work at
his trade. IL is hardly worth
while to add that the preacher
was speedily paid up Waver-
L Uatchman.

In the Kansas Legislature, on
the Goth ult., John j. ingalls,
was elected U. s. Senator by
an almost unanimous vote,
over Pomeroy, the present U
S. Senator from that State.
The result was brought about
by Senator York, who in pur-
suance of the plans of the anti
Pomeroy men, sold his vote to
Pomeroy for $4,000, $1,000 Of
which was paid down. York
exposed the whole thing and
turned the money over 70 the
Speaker of the House. Pome-
roy has long been suspected of
rascality, but has escaped ex-
posure until he fell into York's
trap.

The investigating commit

doing their work thoroughly
and exposing the rottenness
and corruption OF some OF our
latter-day politicians, bringing
to lightimatters. which will as.
tonish people who remain at
home and earn their living by
honest industry.
In the Caldwell investigat-
ing COMMITTEE it has been
proved beyond q doubt that
ECaldwell bought his seat in the
Senate by bribery of the Kan

doubt the committee will 80

the number are Colfax and

lthatthey never owned any oil

swears positively that they did.
The committee will be likely
TO sift the thing down till they
ascertain the truth. Brooks,
OF New York, Dem ocrat, is'said
TO be the only member who re.
ceived stock without paying
for it. .

the law. If the plans are weak
and detective, they may de
pend upon 1t, the building will
be weaker. and they. will be
called upon to pay extra for 2
thousand different things actp,
ally necessary for the strength
and beauty Of the building
There is no more, common way
of ".ssettipg up a, JOB" than by
defective drawings of tpublic
buildings,Rpd i is 70 be hoped
theywill throw the whole thing
aside, and employ a competent
architect. The present draw
ings are not in detail sgch, as.
would be furnished by an
architect, and moreover, are
made in lead pencil, instead
of India ink or something
which can not be erased by
handling, or with arubber, if it
should suit the fancy of. the
contractor to make a change.
If any of our business men
were going to erect a $4,000
building they would employ an
architect, and the drawings
would be so full and complete
that no question could arise
between the owner and build
er on the smallest matter,
which the drawings would not
settle beyond dispute III a mo.
ment. Such drawings are what
Is contemplated by the law
and would cost more first cost)
than those now on hand, but
would be cheaper in the end,
secure a substantial building,
and would prevent any claims
for extra pay for a door, a clos
ct, a cornice, a spout and
hundred other little things
which the contractor would
claim were not in the plan.
With full drawings a contractor
would know just what he was
bidding on, to the very last
nail that went in the building,
and the Commissioners would
know exactly what kind
Of a building they were going
to get for their money. If the
work goes on under The present
bidding and plans there will be
no end to the misunderstand-
ings which will arise, and the
county will have to pay for
all in Of them in the end.
