PAY UP.

That is an easy thing to say, you
say, but difficult of accomplishment.
Now the reason for the present hard
times is that people do not pay up.
This may not be the way the chaps in
Congress woulde phrase it in their
speeches on finance, but it is none the
less true. We have discovered that
the way to resume is to resume and
the way we can resume. 1t is simply
to pay up, and if you can't pay in
full, pay what you can. The lack OF
paying on the part of his customers
causes the merchant to fail. His fail
ure causes the jobber to suspend. His
suspension closes up the importer
All these have debts due the butcher
the tailor, the farmer, and the labor
er, and so they suffer. Now all this
could be avoided if the small debtors
of the merchant would pay in whole
or in part. Pay as much as you can
then the merchant, the jobber, and the
importer can pay as much as they
can. Money brings credit and favor
and all prosper. Begin at home. Ii
you owe your grocer twenty dollars
and can't pay the whole amount pay
what you can. Five dollars from
each of his twenty dollar debtors
would enable him to pay one-fourtf
of his bills payable and would secure
him favorable terms from the remain
der Of his Indebtedness. 1t is the lit
tie debts that weight down business
and nine-tenths Of them could be paid
without sacrifice if people would pa,
when they could. A slice is no
equal to a whole loaf but it will pre-
vent starvation, and as positive pay
ment will prevent bankruptcy. Pay
what you can.-State Register.

Read and Learn for Yourself.

Many valuable discoveries aud much
useful knowledge is kept from the world,
because OF the immense expense in making
them known to the people. This is not the
case with BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP, al
though bnt few years introduced ilte
this country, its sale now reaches in every
town and village in the U. s. Its won-
derful success in curing Consumption, se-
we're Coughs, Asthma, aud all other dis
eases of the throat and lungs, was first
made known by distributing every year,
for three years, over 400, 900 bottles to the
afflicted, free Of charge, by Druggists.
No such q test OF merit was ever given be.
fore to any other preparation. Could you
ask more? Go to your Druggist, J. L.
TAYLOR b Co., and get bottle for Is cents
and try It. Sample Bottles 10 cent?.

A day or two ago, an Agency
township democrat was riding home
in the wagon of q colored man, and
thought it good time to impress the
beauties Of his political theory upon
the mind of his sable companion.
The conversation was principally
one-sided, such as might be expected,
and the colored individual listened
patiently until the speaker was thro'
when he remarked:
ssLook heah, Mister, what is you,
Is you a Union man or
what ?"
~ am Union man, sir. My father
fought in the Revolution and signed
lie declaration of Independence
Union mani Yes, SIR"
That colored man halted his team,
spoke never word until he had
looked the fellow steadily in the eye
for moment and then made his
speech about as follows, as he rose to
his feet:
Union man! he'll l--you talk like
REBEL and with that the colored
troops gently lifted the gentleman Of
confederate proclivities from his
seat by the nape of the neck and seat
Oh the pants, placed him ON the
ground, and told him to walk home
The conversion was not permanent

DIED.


At the residence of his son-in-law,
Judge II. 3. Hendershott, in this city,
last evening at 8 o'clock, PAUL CAR
RINGToN JEFFRIEs.
Judge Jeffries was born May 4th,
1870, in Mecklenburg county, land
was married to Mary b. Evans,of the
same county, Dec. 4th, 1917 The lat
ter survives him, and is now nearly
SO years of age. Judge Jefiries and
wife emigrated from Virginia to Ken
lucky in 1926; to Van Buren, county,
Ia, in the spring of 1912, and removed
to Wapello county in 1S43, immedi-
ately after the New Purchase was
opened to settlement. He was one of
the original owners of the town plat
of Louisville, afterwards named OF
tumwa, and settled here May 9th IA :
was member of the town company,
called the Appanoose Rapids Town
Company. He was q warm adherent
of the democratic party, but enjoyed
the respect of all who were acquaint-
ed with him. He held many places of
honor and trust, was the first post
master of Ottumwa, and at various
times held the Office of County Treas
urer, Judge of Probate Court, Clerk
of Supreme Court, Pension Agent,
Sec'y of the Des Moines River Inn
provement, and other minor Offices,
the duties of which he always
satisfactorily and faithfully dis
charged. On the 4th OF Dec, 1867,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jetfries celebrated the
5Oth anniversary Of their marriage,
and great many of our citizens at
tested their regard for them by nu-
merous valuable and appropriate
presents. He has died in the "fullness
of time," having passed four-score,
and his memory will be kindly cher
ished by all his acquaintance. In re-
ligious faith we believe he was a
Presbyterian, but at the time of his
decease was not connected with any
church.
The funeral ceremonies will be per.
formed at the residence of Judge
Hendershott, on Sabbath, ut 2 o'clock
p. m. Friends of the family arc re-
quested to attend without further no.

BY our dispatches to-day, it will be
seen that Tilden's right hand man,
John Morrissey, squeals and declares
the election off.
This gives that eminent reformer
the five per cent. on his sale of pools,

We have raised fine corn crop in

the same, and farmers will have nc
reason to complain. Our wheat CROP

There are great many cattle dy.
ing in the northwestern part of Iowa.
The Sioux City Journal says:
DR.. Champlin, Of that place, has
been giving the subject his attention
and has made number Of post NOR.
TEN examinations. He finds that the
cattle have died of eating smutty
corn, and dead corn leaves, the SUBJ
stance of which had in many cases
been sapped by the grasshoppers and
poison left in their trail. He says
the leaves of corn killed by being
partially eaten by the 'hoppers is de.
cidedly dangerous for cattle to sub.
sist upon.

Cronin met together and organized
himself into an electoral college by
electing himself President and Secre-
tary as the law of Cronin directs.
He then proceeded to elect Miller
and Parker as the other electors, al
though neither OF them had ever re-
ceived vote. He then elected him
self the third delegate and authorized
himself to carry the vote to WASH
ington, although tits undisputed that
he ran 100 votes behind the lowest
republican candidate. Yet people in
Ottumwa, reformers they call them
selves, and therefore better than
their fcllowmen, say this hideous
farce was an election. 'Rah for Re-

An individual in city not more
than thousand miles from Ottum-
wa, left the republican party the week
before the election, because that party
had become too corrupt for his sens
tive nasal organs. The next week
after the election, very respectable
lady of that city set in to give him
fifty lashes with horse whip for in
sulting her. 1t is probable that she
