The Chicago Ledger is said to have
spent $4,000 in advertising the past
two years, and by the looks of the
newspapers throughout the United
States, we should say it would take as
much to go around this year. And to
cap the climax the proprietors have an
nounced their paper at $1.O0 a year
How it is done is mystery, unless
they have more than "a barrel OF
money" to give away. We believe
however it is the theory of the pub
fishers that all they ask of the reade,
is to pay for the white paper and pos
tage; for their labor, when the paper
reaches 100000 or more circulation
their advertising will pay the profit
While they are building up the paper
they do not solicit advertising, and
hence the readers get a great paper TO,
81 90 that is worth $500. AS the pub
fishers have the money, no doubt they
will succeed. Address The Ledger, Chi

A Mysterious Murder.

Mrs. Cora Chessman, of New York
city, who was mysteriously shot one night
last week, has made statement, claiming
that she committed the deed herself, because
her husband threatened to desert her, and
that after the shooting Chessman left, on her
advice, for fear that he would be arrested.
The probability is that the shooting WAS done
by the husband, and that his victim, faithful
to the end, gives the last moments Of her life
to shield him from the penalty Of his crime.
