Indicted for Issuing Scrip.

The Secretary of the Treasury has IN
stituted complaint against a number of
firms and individuals in Eau Claire,
Wis, for a technical violation of law,
and indictments have been found against
some of the largest firms in the State.
1t has been the habit of these large cor
porations and firms to issue scrip or or
ders to their employees payable in goods
mainly, only a few of the orders calling
for money. They are indicted for vio-
lating section 1858, R. S., q. S., which
provides that any person who makes and
~circulates or pays out any token or obi
cation for a less sum than one dollar, in
tended to circulate as unlawful money of
the United States or to be received and
used in lieu of lawful money shall be
fined not more than $500, and impris-
oned for a period not exceeding six
months, in the discretion of the court.

Short Savings.

A good life is valuable, but a bad ons

Passion is a storm, and spares nothing.
Each Pisgah of labor has its glimpse

Every good deed that we do is not only
a present pleasure, but a prop for the

Children grow so fast we must be on

Trouble

There is a cloud of war arising over the
far Northwest war in the spring, with
the natives of that region. 1t is being
generated by the covetousness of the
white man and the inconsistencies of his
red enemy, and is being fastened upon
the country by the ~impetuosity of hot
headed ~gold-seekers. The clash between
the Indian and the white man is as sure
to come as they are to meet each other
on the disputed territory, and that they
will meet seems as inevitable as the COM
ing of another season. The following
local item from the Sioux City Qowa)
Journal is suggestive in this connec-
ton: "The Black Hills excitement has not
all died away, and in fact there is IN
siderable being done hereabouts in a
quiet manner. Several parties yester-
day QUILTED in this city with the iuten-
ton of making their way without much
ado into the reputed gold country to pass

Fast Trains...What They Accomplish.

Washington correspondence of the
Chicago Tribune: "Instead of a gen.
eral opposition to the fast trains, the
Postmaster General finds q general dis
position among railroad managers to CO.
operate with the Department in securing
the promptest possible dispatch of the
mails. The mails that leave New York
on the Pennsylvania road in the morn
ing go through to the Mississippi river
now, without delay at Pittsburg or else
where. The Department is now striving
to make arrangements to have the mails
taken by this train destiRed for the
South and Southwest go forward imme-
diately on their arrival at Cincinnati,
Louisville, and st. Louis, instead of
lying ove several hours at these points,
but of course time is required to make
these changes. Similar efforts are MAX
ing to have the mails which are distrib-
uted from Chicago leave that city i'm

Cabinet or Parlor Organs.

These have become the most popular
of large musical Instruments. There
are now about two hundred and fifty
makers Of them in the United States,
who produce more than forty thousand
organs per annum. Most of these are
very poor instruments. This is natural
ly so, because there are few articles in
the manufacture of which 80 much saw
ing can be made by the use of inferior,
improperly prepared material, and infe-
rior workmanship, and yet which, when
finished, show SO little difference to the
average purchaser. The important parts
of an organ, made as well as they can
be, cost two or three times as much as
If made as lew as possible. Yet, when
the organ is done, it is not easy from
casual hearings to tell the difference be-
tween the best and a very poor one. Es-
pecially when shown by n who knows
how to cover up defects, to n who has
not special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make a poor organ appear a
good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to
produce, at a fraction of the cost, an Or
gan which will sell almost as well as a
good one is almost irresistible. Hence
the fact that so few good organs are made
and so many poor ones, n that the
country is flooded with peddlers and
dealers selling these poor organs, which
pay such large profits. The buyer OF
the poor organ does not fail to find out
his mistake after a while. The thin,
reedy tone of his cheap organ soon be-
comes offensive; it works noisily and
roughly, is constantly out of order, and
becomes useless by the time a really
good instrument would have been getting
into its prime. A good organ ought to
last a generation, at least; a poor one
may last five years, with considerable
tinkering, or may break down much
sooner.
There is one safe way. Get a genuine
production of one of the very best
makers and you cannot go astray.
Among these undoubtedly stands pre-
eminent the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.,
whose organs are SO we'll known that
other makers are generally content tc
claim that they a make as good an or
gan as the Mason & Hamlin. They in.
vented and introduced the Cabinet OF
Parlor Organ in its improved form, start
ed with and have always closely adhered
to the policy of making only the best
work, have shown such skill as has giver
their organs the highest reputation, moi
only in this country but also in Europe,
At the great Exposition at Vienna, il
competition with eighty of the bes
makers in the world, they obtained the
highest medals. To enumerate the com
petitions at which they have received
similar honors would be to give a list-oi
the fairs at which they have exhibited
and to mention the prominent musicians
who recommend their organs as une
qualed, would really be to give a very
good list of the most illustrious musica
names in the country, with a good rep
resentatien in Europe.
One who obtains a Mason & Hamlil
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt tina
he has the best instrument of its clas
which can be made.-New York indie

BREADSTUFFs-
There has been considerable interest shown
in wheat and corn, but for the other grains a
comparatively quiet feeling prevailed, the
amount of business transacted being consider
ably below the average. For spring wheat the
demand from the opening until the close has
been quite active and q steady Improvement in
values was noticed, the closing quotations
showing an advance of from 4c to 416c per bu,
being mainly On the short futures, the
demand from spectators who had not covered
their maturing contracts being quite active.
At the same time there was a good shipping
and export demand, and Eastern advices were
of a favorable tenor. Corn opened firm and
higher, but closes lower under increased re-
ceipts, while oats sympathized with the changes
in corn. Rye was firm and a trile higher, but
bsrley was weak and lower under increased re-
ceipts. The movement was principally on
speculative account.
