HELP EVERY ENTERPRISE.

A city is very much like an indi-
vidual. To be Aourishing it must
have energy and enterprise. The
people in the city should labor for
its prosperity. They should remem-
Der that their individual prosperity
depends to a large degree upon the
character OF place in which their busi-
ness is located. Every public meas
ure should be literally supported by
all, especially the business men. At
the present day there is as much
competition between cities as there
is among persons, or similar business
enterprises. A man seeking loca-
tion viii invariably select city that
is up to the times and eagerly in
favor Of every modern Improvement.
A city in these modern times, and in
the face of so much opposition, can
afford to be peopled with old togies
or antediluvian fossils who are con-
tinually kicking" at every enter
prise. To make fourishing and
business city you must believe in its
future then work for it. Encourage
every improvement. Help every en-
terprise. Offer inducements to per-
sons looking for location.

Advertising that is well done is
cumulative in its character 1t is
like the compromising Of interest.
An advertisement in a paper one
week will, in all probability, make a
good return to the merchant who
has the goods the people want at the
right prices each successive adver-
tiscment that he puts in gains an
impetus and influence from the orig
inal one, and so it counts up until
the name of the firm gets what is
equivalent to the good will' Of a sue
cessful business, besides deriving the
direct profit from immediate sales
cAused BY the advertising.

1t seems there is no end to Mr..
Edison's inventive genius. His latest
invention is the sending of telegraph
ic messages to and from a railway
train running at full speed. The
messages can be sent and received
with as much accuracy and ease as
they can by the ordinary telegraph
wire. Mr.. Edison thinks he can
send messages through the air across
rivers, and so ships out at sea, with
out the use of connecting wires, and
that ships at sea may communicate
with each other, as well as with land,
and all without the aid of connecting
wires.

A man by the name of Clark, on
Capitol Hill, Washington, has gone
to a good deal of trouble for little
notoriety, and deserves all he can
get. 1t occurred to him that it
would be a good idea to mix the soil
of all the States and Territories in
the Capitol Park, and about a year
ago he wrote to postmasters and 9TH
err officials from Maine to Arizona.
In reply he received package of
earth until his collection was com
pleted. Then, on Washington's birth
day, he mixed the dirt up in box
and dumped it in a corner where our
national flower, if we ever have any,
ought to be sown.

One rascal in Brooklyn makes lots
of money by imposing on women. A
short time ago he advertised for
large number Of ''red-headed wo-
men," for whom he bod good paying
situations open. Last week he adj
vertised for twenty crossed-eyed
women wages SO a week. He
had numerous applications in answer
to both advertisements. The appli-
cants had to pay 81 each in advance,
and the situations were never pro-
cured for them. But the women pre-
ferred to suffer the loss of one dollar
rather than make their red heads or
cross eyes notorious by suit in the
courts. They ought to go in body
and administer proper punishment
on the scamp.

A HOWELL.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1886-03-25

A man named Hall recently sold
out what he supposed was a worked
out claim, near Sonora, Tuolumne
county, Cal, to some Cinnamon for
five hundred dollars. The Cinnamon
entered into their work with the u.s.
ual energy characteristic of that race
and the first day unearthed a can fill
ed with twenty pieces. An examina-
ton Of the contents developed to the
Mongolian's eyes one thousand and
seven hundred dollars in real bright
twerties. They at first became
frightened and offered to divide their
find with Mr.. Hall, but that gentle
men refused to accept the money,
and the same informed the Monogo-
lians that they had paid him all the
claim was worth, and the treasure
found belonged to them.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, May 1S.-ln the
Wright murder case at Royal intense inter-
est has been awakened. owing TO the con-
fession made Saturday by Mrs. Wright, at
present confined in the Clark county jail.
In the coolest manner possible, ana Win
no more nervousness than an ordinary con-
verSation would develop, the woman related
all. According to her statements. Daniel
Allen. her accomplice and paramour, and
herself have been criminally Intimate for
about two years. and i'll order TO be married
had to put Wright and Mrs. Allen out of
the way. She stated that about three
months ago Allen gave her. some Strychnine
to give Wright, which she did at supper
one night. but owing to the large quantity
given Wright threw it up and was very sick,
but recovered, and meanwhile suspected
nothing. About a month ago Allen went
to Milwaukee for the purpose of purchasing
arsenic, which he did, and gave her
\ SMALL BoTTLEFUL,
saying, That will finish Mr. Wright" and
that he had another bottleful to Kill his
wife with. and they would be free to marry.
On the Sth of May she gave Wright the
fatal dose, and she and Allen were the only
attendants at his deathbed. She described
his sufferngs and agony at length, without
the tremor of a muscle or any emotion.
Allen is also in Jail, and maintains a
logged silence. The excitement at Royal
and MIllsville is intense and it would be no
surprise if both Mrs. Wright and Allen were
lynched before this article is read. So uni
verSally esteemed and well-liked was Allen
that many Of the neighborS who knew him
will not believe his guilt. The case GER
tainly stands without n parallel in the
criminal annals of this county.

TO QUIT OR ECONOMuZE.
The Millers' Association Dfschar
ing a Large Part of its Force

The Millcrs' Association Dfscanarg
ing Large Part of its Force.
The rumOr current for some time past
that the Minneapolis Millers' association
would dissolve between crop years this
summer, was given additional impetus yes
terday by the information that the larger
portion of its employees had been notified
their services would no longer be required
after June 1. Inquiry at headquarters was
met with the evaSive answer that it was
true some of the force would go On June 1,
but it was only because there would be
nothing to do after that time until the be-
ginning OF the crop year. About the office,
however, it was reported that all men had
been discharged except those necessary to
wind up the business of the concern.
1.-The association may conclude to try it a
year buying on the open board" said one of
the Oldest employees, but it is my opinion the
commission men are responsible for these
stories, as they alone would be benefited by
the dissoiu ton of the association
On change, yesterday morning, it was
stated that non-association millers had made
money during the crop year. This was adj
mltted by association men, who said:
They made money under the Gil O umstances,
as they made some advantageous purchases,
NN" IhOlC COuIu DC uO OF thdC KING
were 1t not for the association. 1t is also
true that the main necessity for the associa-
ton is over, as enough wheat comes to Min
neapois anyhow; but if the association dis
solves, either the millerS must continue to set
elevator prices or the elevator men must Or
ganlze. We will see which the farmers will
like best.
The association employs, m all, about
twenty-five men, and its annual expenses are
considerably above $50, In case it dis
solves no plan has been agreed upon but if
members buy upon the open board, COM
missions will largely exceed that sum in a
short time.

submit to the people the question of the
repeal of section 80 of the ordinance, and
If the people shall vote to repeal the same.
it shall be the duty of the state govern

Pessimism in French Literature.

Pessimism in French Literature.
London Letter to San Francisco Argonaut
Pessimism is, beyond doubt, the great
characteristic of contemporary French lit
erature. Goncourt. Alexis, lola, Daudet.
Maupassant, and their petty imitators-
are all tainted with the evil. 1t is
an age of disbelief and despair,
real in many cases, false in others.
This is the explanation of Ger
minal," of ''LAssommoir' and 'sYvelte."
Only the women resist the current. They
are the reaction which perhaps will save
us, for if our women were to listen to
Schopenhauer, the world would end.
The worst of the whole brood of pessi-
mists, the vilest, wickedest, most depraved
if one believe reports Catulle Mendes.
Often must the Evil One have chuckIed in
his heart-if he has a heart-over the de-
PRAYED novelties and obscene articles of the
man whom one once thought might have
been a great poet. There is an ingenious
depth of Righteousness in his writings
which would have made Baudelaire blush.
And Baudelaire was not easy to startle-
indeed, he passed for a master in that way
in his day. But Catulle Mendes brings me
back to my original idea. If he were
healthier in body he might be healthier in
mind. Such pale, peaked, tired-out,
blase ghost of a man you could hardly
meet between the Madeleine and the Bas-
title. Another pessimist of the same stamp,
and almost as mischievous, is Rene Maze
roy. These two are the props Of the Gil
Blas-and what the Gil Bias is l dare say
you know In San Francisco as well as we
do. In word, it is not a journal lady

They knew that the Swedish king would not
abandon his claim without struggle. y
The king, after being Informed OF this ar
rangement, invaded Norway with a large
army. A general war broke out, lasting sew
eral months, when both countries longed for
peace, and an armistice was consequently
signed in the city of Moss by which Norway
was to be united with Sweden,
and Christian, the king, abdicating the
throne on the 4th of November. The Swedish
king accepted and ratified the constitution
with few alterations. Our American fellow
citizens will understand that in SO celebrating
an important event in the history of the land
of our nativity we do not do so as foreigners,
and are none the less citizens of our adopted
country, but are simply paying that homage
of the heart due our mother country, and
which is ever felt by the wanderer from the

RED WING, May 1S.-The body Of the I'M
known man who was killedEnear Lake City last
Friday has been identified as that of John
Woodford of New Bedford, Mass. He was
formerly employed in Sparta, Wis, but lately
has been working for L. NJ. Gregg at Waba-
sha. Quite a number of people viewed the
dead body and explored the track between the
rails for quite distance, where it seemed to
haYe been dragged, and many of them sup
posed that he had been killed and placed on
the track, as no blood was1 found, though the
body was nearly severed just above the hips
and several members cut off, besides various
decorations. The jury in its verdict that the
man was killed by the cars, followed the state
ment of the surgeon that such wounds could
be caused by being run over by the cars.
The theory that he was run over was brought
forward on account of statement of the
dead man that he intended to steal a ride. 90.
The Republican county committee met yes
terday afternoon and called the county con-
vention for June IS. Andrew Swanson was
sent up for ninety days to-day for threaten
ing to kill his wife. About 200 people at

They returned last evening and all report a
good time. The wedding of Bertha Heising
and Henri Dewitt occurs at st. Joseph's Cath
Ole church at 1880 a. m. tomorrow. The
board of trade has referred to the committee
