More Chinese Frauds.

San Francisco, October 26.-Res-
pecting the seizure reported yesterday
of four thousand Chinese letters un-
stamped, brought over on the Toxic, a
further investigation to-day by the pos
tai authorities, goes to show that the
number of letters sent from here to
China through the mails is largely -on
the decrease.
The assumption is that similar frauds
are practiced by the Chinese with let
tiers IN the outgoing steamers as on in
coming mes. 1t is estimated that the
government loses about two hundred
and fifty dollars on every Chinese mail
from this port.
The Bulletin this evening publishes
a tabulated statement showing the in.
crease in the number of Chinese arriv.
ing provided with Chinese government
"trader's" certificates, emitting them
to land in the United States.
A steamer on the 18th of June last
brought the frst lot. There were only
three on that steamer; the next brought
thirty-nine, and they have been in
creasing up to a hundred and eleven OF
the last. 1t was stated this evening b,
the custom officers here that the Chi
nese superintendent of customs at Can
ton furnishes these traders certificate
at from 80 80 to So each.

A Farmer and His Wife Murdered.

Wauseon, o., October 26.-An afro
cious murder was committed five miles
from here on Tuesday night. A far
mer named George Williams drove into
Wauseon that afternoon with a load of
clover seed for which be received quite
a large sum of money. After return
ing home nothing was seen of him or
his family by the neighbors for two
days, and last evening a search was in
stituted.
In the barn was found the corpse of

from his body. His wife vas found in
the house with her head split open and

months old infant was found on the

Tho Theory of Advertising.

One of the most marked peculiaritieG
of modern business is the place news.
papers occupy in the mechanism OF
trade. They are, in a very large meas
ure, the connecting link between selltt
and buyer, and that through their adj
vertising columns. The Importance of
newspaper advertisements is rapidly in
creasing. Instead of being a ~haphazard
sort of thing it has been raised to the
rank of exact science, and that very
largely through the medium of news
paper advertising agencies. OF the
numerous houses in this line of business
pre.emlnenee is due to n. w. Aver &
Son, of Philadelphia. There is prob
ably no other concern Of the kind in
the world which does so large a bust
ness.
The orders received by their adver-
Using agency during the thirty nine
days from September l, 1888, to Octo-
Der 0, 1888, amounted to $239. $40. Al.
1t requires the good will secured by
years of faithful, intelligent and ju-
dicious work TO reach such high Gg-
ures.
The truth is that N. W. Aver &
Son understand and act upon the the
DRY that whatever is worth doing at all
is worth doing well, and no interest liz
strusted to them is allowed to suffer
from ~inattention. They know that in
order to hold and increase their bust
ness they must place their advertise
ments where their patrons will derive
the most benefit. The mistake often
made, not only by agencies, but by ad-
vertisers doing their own business. is
to gel the most space for the least
money, neglecting that supreme on
sideration of all others, the real value
of the medium used.
To hold a customers trade it is ne.
cessary to show them by practical dem
onstration that he gets the worth of
his money, and it is largely because of
their success in this respect that N. W.
Aver & Son not only hold their trade,
but SO rapidly increase it from year to
year.

The General of the Army and
an Aged Mule.
WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, October 26.-The sec
rotary of the treasury to an associated
press representative said: up to this
time no official information has been
received by the department respecting
the arrival of Cinnamon at San Fran
cisco. 1t would seem from newspaper
reports" be said, THAT the Chinese
government Is issuing an unusually
large supply of traders certificates,
but of course as the statutes permit
traders to land, the collector of the
port is without authority to prevent
them from doing 80 and it would GER
tainly be a very difficult undertaking to
distinguish a Chinese trader from a
laborer."
Lieutenant Kobbe, stationed at Mt.
Vernon barracks, Alabama, reported to
the war department that a white mule

channels, and General Sherman sub
mitted the case to the secretary of var
with the following report: Il have
seen that mule and whether true or
false, soldiers believe that it was left at
Big Springs, where Mt. Vernon bar
racks now are, at the time General
Jackson's army camped there about
1919 or 1920. Tradition says it was
once sorrel, but now it is white from
age. The quartermasters department
will be c~hargeable with ingratitude if
that mule is sold, or care or mainten-
anse of it is thrown on the charitable
officers of the post. l advise it to be
kept in the department, fed and main
tanned till death. L think this mule
when 1 was there in 1872" The secre-
tary OF war thereupon made put the fol-
lowing order: "Let this mule be kept
and well cared for as long as he lives"

The commissioner of pensions has

of Belva A. Lockwood, the female

A Missing Girl.

A girl about seventeen years of age,
named Claude Downs, departed from her
home, l04 Court street, rather suddenly
on Tuesday night last, and without the
consent Of the lady with whom she had
been living for the past tan or eleven
years. II is supposed that she adopted this
course in order 10 escape being returned
to her father, who now lives at Macon,
Miss, and by whom she was deserted
when six years of age. As soon as t he
absence OF the girl was made known a
ssslgh party formed by number of
young gentleman boarding in the house,
who have been working faithfully ever
since, but up to this Writing ali their eff
forts have been frpitless. She has been
seen by several paPHes in o rather rough
neighborhood In the northern part Of the
city, but on the approach Of any of the
young gentlemen comprising the search
party, she Is quietly spirited away. AL
moa eyery house in the neighborhood
has been searched, Rpd, indeed, houses in
which she has been seeb, bpt tbs Cccu-
pants would manage TO get her out the
back way while the searchen were enter
Ing the front 1t is evident that older
heads are ~ work in keeping her con-
cealed, and their action is certainly little
questionable, If caught, they should re-
ceive the most severe penalty the law can
administer. The lady with whom the
girl has heretofore made her home is de-
termined to continue her efforts to find
her, and should she be successful, will at
once convey her to her father in Missis-
aDpi.

Particulars of the I.ynching of

Confession.

WAvERLY, IA, June 9.-The mob
which besieged the jail here last Thursday
night and succeeded in lynching the Bar

to the door Of the courthouse, and smash
ing git in, were soon inside. There were
now two doors between the outlaws and

When the latter were reached they were

of them being dragged part of the way
down the long stairway. After getting
into the streets the BARRIERS were allowed

been accused ofkilling seven men in Hi
nois, but that it was false. Ike Barber
said he had no hand in killing Shepherd
last fall, and that he had never killed a
man nor assisted In doing so until within
thepast week, The desperadoes appeared
to have plenty of grit, although Bill shed
a few tears. They conversed in strong
voice, and did not ask or expect mercy.
The leader Of the mob was captured BY
the Sheriff. The county officers did the
best they could to protect the prisoners,
but it was ofno avail. The hanging oc-
