CATLIN'S TOBACCO-It gives us
much pleasure to be able to state-and
eve know whereof we speak" = that
consumers can buy really choice arti-
Gle of Fine Cut Chewing Tobacco from
Lancaster dealers. Ivey IL Webb, j.
A. Drew, Wenzel & Auchter, and Joe
Nathan, have laid in stock of Catlin' s
golden THREAD" which we have
"tried our mettle' on and can honestly
say is rich fullbodied lasting chew
that does not go to peices in the mouth
and from its durability will prove an
actually cheaper chew than lower priced
goods. The same dealers, and also
Messrs. Jno. Schreiner and G. j. Hyde,
have a stock of Catlins "MEERCHAUM,
Smoking Tobacco. "Meerschaum' is
choice graduated goods made from old
North Carolina leaf 1t does not bite
the tongue, is a itch, pleasant smoke,
and is retailed at the very reasonable
price of ten cents quarter pound. Mr..
Heldcroft the agent of the company,
says that during nearly thirty years the
Catlin Tobacco Company and its i'm
mediate predecessor, Daniel Catlln, of
st. Louis, have never given alleged
gifts or prizes of any kind to force the
sale of their brands, but aim to place
the best article that can be made before
the consumer at the lowest possible
price. and trust solely to the merits of
it tor popularity. The Catlin Tobacco
Com pany is the largest fine cut chew
ing and smoking establishment in the
United States.

OF the People and for the PeonIe.

General Logan comes from the ranks
of the common people, and the fact
will not hurt his canvass any. In noti-
flying him of his nomination the other
day Gen. Henderson truly said: with
out wealth, without help from others,
without any resources except those Of
heart, conscience, intellect, energy and
courage, you have won a high place in
the worlds history, and secured the
confidence and affection of your
countrymen. And so it is. Like his
great associate on the ticket, Mr..
Blaine. General Logan, is noble speci-
men Of American possibilities. Like
Lincoln and Garfield his only capital
for life was good stuff in his make
up. He was never boosted to his pres
ent proud eminence; he climbed up, and
that from the very lowest round of the
ladder. The American people have
just pride in such men; they never 60
back on them. They won't do it this
time

Result of Energy.

We find the following in the Port
land, (Ore.), Sunday Welcome: Mr..
Forbes is former Grant county
boy and brother of Mrs. Reed, of this
city.
when G. NJ. Forbes and L. G..
Wheeler went into business together on
First street between Main and Madison,
as proprietors of the ''Installment
Store" their principal capital was good
credit and energy, and their success in
the opinions of many was mooted
question. To-day, by push, enterprise
and general business qualifications they
have succeeded in building up one of
the most prosperous businesses in Port
land, and are reckoned among our most
well-to-do retailers. The growth of
their business is really astonishing. and
while their profits in individual cases
are but small, their custom is so extern
sive that in the aggregate their annual
income averages very handsomely. Be-
ing popular as well as successful, by a
rare political coincidence these two
partners were each nominated by the
Republicans for the City Council in
their respective citles-Mr. Forbes in
the Second Ward here and Mr. Wheeler
in East Portland-an both were hand
somely elected. While it is true that
Mr.. Forbes was the Republican candi-
date in Republican ward, his most
sanguine friends had no idea that he
would triumph by so overwhelming q
majority, and especially as the Demo-
Gratis nominated against him one of
their best men and oldest Portland mer-
chants Mr.. Wheeler's success in East
Portland was no less matter of con-
graduation. Differing from his part
ner's political experience in one partic-
ular, be was nominated in ward that
gave fifty Democratic majority at the
last election, but so strong was he with
his friends and so popular with the peo-
pie at large that he overcame the odds
and was elected by thirty-seven votes
Not only this. he was the only Republi-
can on the ticket who carried that ward.
Last Monday was indeed day of glory
for the firm of Forbes & Wheeler, and
we know of no two young men in the
county more deserving their good for
tune. They are both SOBER industrious
and energetic business men, faithful to
their friends, popular with all their ac-
quaintances, and trustworthy in all
their dealings. For the past week they
have been holding a regular series Of
impromptu receptions at their store, so
numerous have been the friends to call
and shake their hands in congratulation
of their double success triumph that
The Sunday Welcome cordially joins the
rest in felicitating them upon.

The Facts In the Case.

VIM. Palmer tried his first case in JUS
tice court at Mt. Ida last week and,
Notwithstanding his opponent being
formerly Judge of the circuit court for
this district, came out victorious in the
trial. -BoSoobeI Dial
The facts in the above case are the
justice court above referred to had no
jurisdiction to try the case and the
Judge who was never known to kick al
shadows, did not put imam appearance.
The SO called justice court rendered the
shadow of a judgment on the testimony
of single witness, too drunk to know
whether he was testifying, or reciting the
the story of "Sinbad the Sailor" The
case goes to the circuit court and q
criminal prosecution will in all proba
bility grow out of it. OBSERVER.

DIED INsANE.-Miss Kate Carney, an
inmate of the county asylum. died on
Friday last and was buried from the
Catholic church in this city Saturday
morning. Deceased came from Ireland
about twelve years ago, stopping for a
time at Mt. Hope, where her relatives
reside, and shortly afterward came to
and made her home in Lancaster. She
acted in the capacity of dining-room girl
at the Chem Phelps House, and lived
some time at Hon. j. Allen Barber
house. 1t has been wrongly stated that
her insanity grew out of an unrecipro-
Gated attachment to former Lancaster
editor The gentleman was not even
acquainted with her, and the using of
his name by her can perhaps be account
ed for only when it is known that he oc-
cupied a seat on the cars in front of her
at the time she lost her mind-about
eight years ago.

neaut, Ohio. where her husband died in
1925. In 1880 she married Martin Pow

Rockton, Winnebago county, Ill. In
1850 her second husband died, and she
has since lived with her children. She
was most estimable woman, beloved
to all who knew her.

"Seven moves are as good rs fire"
growled out old Benjamin Franklin, and
those OF our readers who have passed
through the ordeal of moving will
readily realize the wisdom of the saying,
Poor Richard perhaps would have
had them occur at an average period of
a decade, and perhaps thus cover the
pilgrimage of three score years and ten
allotted to man on this terrestrial globe.
Even should this have been the origi-
nal intention of the great philosopher,
The HERALD is a notable exception.
For twenty years, since the erection of
Mr.. George Howe's building in 1864,
corner of Maple and Madison streets,
Lancaster. THE HERALD has been his
tenant. During all that time it has not
failed to make its periodical visits to the
homes of it, thousands of readers, carry
ing its weekly budget of county and
general news literally laden with the
best to be had. and sowing precious seed
thoughts which have borne fruitful
harvest. Many changes have occurred
during those years, In our national
affairs Spirit of instruction and bust
ness chaos has been followed by an era
of good feeling and unexampled pros
perity. AT home our wood and prairies
have rapidly given place to innumer-
able settlers, and the villages and cities
included in the weekly journeys of THE
HERALD are as thrifty and prosperous
as those of any county in any state.
Nor are these resources of our county
fully developed or the mission of The
HERALD fulfilled. Our work in the fu-
tureo caffhot and will not materially
differ from that of the past. With the
removal of our office to the Budd block
are added increased facilities for carry
ing on the work so auspicously inaug-
urated in the past. With improved
machinery, the newest and best STYLES
of type, we have without single ex-
ception, the best newspaper and Job
Office in the state outside of Milwaukee.
lnlthe future as heretofore, The HERALD
will be abreast of the times and conf
IDENTIFY predicts Il career of far greater
usefulness than ever before. To this
end it seeks the cooperation of its
friends and patrons. and extends to all
many thanks for their appreciation and
support in the past, and invites all to
call and visit it in its new home.
