KEEP Your BUSINESS BEFORE THE
PUBLIC.-It is not judicious to suspend
advertising in dull times. Those are
the very times when men are likely to
get back more than they spend in an
nouncing their goods and keeping
others mindful of their place of bust
ness. Many customers are lost in duh
times by those who decline to advertise,
aud won by others who are more
shrewd and keep their names before
the public. The suspension of adver-
Using at such times is illogical. There
is only one object in advertising
to attract the attention of customers.
When the sale receipts are small the
dealer needs to attract more than or
dinarily. Hence it is the time for him
to advertise There is no better medium
through which they can work in this
county than by making use of the col

Henry S. Waggoner, who is travelling
for a wholesale wallpaper house of
Chicago, spent Sunday here with his
sister, Mrs Ed. NJ Lowry.
The sheriff and his posse seems to
have an unusual amount of criminal
business to look after now They are
anxious to get the work all done up by
the time sheriff-elect Dolphin takes his

Mrs. Casper Lehner came up from

COMMITTED TO JAIL.-The prelimin-
airy examination of Leonard Cook,
charged with assault with the intent to
kill. came up before Justice Baldwin,
last Friday afternoon. After hearing
the testimony of two witnesses, Mrs.
John Hutchcroft, of Lima, and Mr.. n.
j. Bennett, of Plattevllle, the State
rested the case. Col. Clark appeared
as counsel for the defendant and Dis
trict Attorney Orr for the State. The
case was argued few minutes by each
counsel and then left to the decision of
the court. Esq. Baldwin concluded
from testimony adduced that said Cook
did unlawfully enter Mr.. Hutchcroft's
house with the intention of doing some
body great bodily harm and that he
thought $500 was low enough to set the
amount of bail, requiring him to APP
| pear at the next term of the circuit
court Col. Clark in behalf of the de-
PENDANT, stated that they could not pos
sibly procure that amount on account
of their financial condition, but thought
they could furnish 5000 bail. The
Judge held that portion of his decision
over until Saturday. In default of
present bail, Cook was committed to
the county Jail until the next term of
the circuit court. We refrain from
making any further comments upon
the case at present, for the particulars
SAVIOR strongly of scandal. The crime
was committed in the town of Lima,
this county, place much noted for
romantic episodes and domestic trouble.

committed suicide yesterday morning at
s:15 at his residence, West Seventh street,
by shooting himself back of the ear with a
small 80 pistol called Terror" whilst
lying in bed He died almost Immediately
afterwards. The facts as learned very soon
after the occurrence, are that Mrs. Magford
got up from the bed at about s O'Clock and
proceeded to the kitchen to prepare break

shot in the bedroom, and running thither
found that her husband had sent bullet
