will have patented and which ought to find
general use on the numerous railroads III this
country. Placed in the forward end of the
car the words "Next Station" in bold letters
surmount the Indicator, and by turn of the
roller following each station the name of the
next station appears in equally bold letters
for the information of the passengers in each
car. The adoption of the indicator would DO
away with the necessity of calling the sta
ton by railroad employees.

For one or two years since the town of
Embden became bankrupt the question of
how judgement could be satisfied has been
often discussed in the community. To the
surprise of all, Mr.. George Eames returned
from California a year ago or more and pur-
chased the finest place in town. Since the
purchase he has greatly improved it till now
it is worth double that of any other place in
the town. Ever since the purchase it has
been feared that creditors of the town would
seize his pers ona property to satisfy their
execution. But by hook and by crook such
thing has been prevented up to last week
when Deputy Sheriff Clapp of Arson. armed
with an execution in favor of Mrs. Savage.
and running against the town. seized some of
Mr.. Eames' personal property and Mr..
Eames' only resource seems to be to sue the
town and in turn attach some of his neigh
boris property. 1t is, at least. a good job
for the lawyers.
