MOneYtO be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great
publishing house of George Stinson
& Co, of Portland, Main. The reason
of this exceptional success is found
lin the fact that they always give
the public that which is keenly ap-
preciated and at prices that all can
afford. AT present we understand,
their agents are doing wonderfully
~well on several new lines. They
need many more agents in all parts
of the country. Those who need
profitable work should apply at
once. Women do as we'll us men.
Experience is not necessary, for
Messrs. Stinson & Co. undertake to
show all who are willing to work,
not hard but earnestly, the path to
lager success. 1t should be rem
embered that an agent can do n
handsome business without being
away from home over night. An
other advantage-it costs nothing
to give the business a trial, and an
agent can devote all his time, or
only his spare moments to it,
,Stinson & Co. guarantee grand
success to all who engage and fol-
low simple and plain directions
that they give. We have not space
to explain all here, but full partic-
ulars will be sent free to those who
address the firm; their full address
is given above.

REPRESENTATIVE BUERHAUs
has introduced a bill in the Legis-
lature authorizing the Board of
Public Works to enlarge the cul-
vert under the canal in the third
ward of Logan, so as to carry off
the water drained through 1t, and
appropriating any sum necessary
therefor not exceeding fifteen hun
,dred dollars. He has also intro
duced Il bill to amend Sec. 917 of
the Statutes relating to the eX-
animation of the County Commit
sioners' report, providing that the
Court shall appoint three suitable
persons-one of whom shall be an
attorney other than the Prosecut-
ing Attorney of the county-and
these three persons are each to re-
ceive three dollars a day for the
time necessarily employed. The
amendment relieves the Prosecut-
ing Attorney from being one of the
examiners.

A Sad Case,

On last Sunday Eugene Tafel
committed suicide in a Cleveland
hotel by shooting himself through
the head, 80 caliber revolver be-
ing used for the purpose. Until
last week Mr.. L. occupied the po-
sition of principal Of the Fulton St
school in Columbus, and was sup
posed to be in every way worthy of
confidence, and on Friday last he
drew the amount due his teachers
for salaries for the proceeding
month amounting to over SS0O.0O
1t now appears that Tafel was
possessed of Il mania for gambling
and during Friday afternoon and
Saturday he lost most of the
amount by gambling. Not being
able to replace the money, and
knowing concealment to be i'm
possible he was driven by despair
to suicide. He was a married man
and leaves a wife and two children.
He was Il native of Nuremburg,
Bavaria, at which place his father
is still living. Before committing
the act he wrote a letter to Mr..
Spahr, President of the Board of
Education, one to his wife and
one to his father. His letter to
his wife is expressive of his love
for her and his deep despair; it is
as follows:
DEAR NELLIE: My fault, which
has already given you untold pain,
has finally brought me to the last.
l cannot go to the penitentlary, so
| choose death. Be calm Nellie,
think that it is better so than any
other way. Your folks and mine
together will certainly help you
and the boys. Tell Earnest when
he gets old enough, what brought
his poor father to ruin. Do every
thing you can TO forget; try and
hate me and l think you can get
over it better. / told Mr.. Spahr
all about matters. / can not write
to my father. You do it or get my
uncle to write. Goodbye. You
darling woman, deserved a bette,
fate l know. May the world be
better to you from now ON. Kiss
the boys. ~
| YOUR FORMER HUSBAND.
His death should be q warning tC
al! young men to shun this, tho
most alluring as well as the mosI
destructive of vices.

Some, yes great many of the
Wisconsin Republicans, not having
the fear of John Sherman nor the
love for James q. Blaine promi-

in ravail, recently, with Jerry

Enterprise Extraordinary.

On Wednesday, last, Logan show
ed her ability to disseminate hap
piness in a remarkable degree. On
Wednesday Morning the Straits
vile and Monday Creek Branch of
the C. I'll. V & II. Ry. brought to this
place q couple intent on entering
the State of matrimony. The
parties arrived at about 8 A. NJ.
and proceeding to one of the Stores
procured material for q wedding
costume, for the bride elect, to-
gether with the necessary trim
mings. From the store the parties
repaired to a dress maker who was
instructed to have the dress finish
ed ready for the cermony by 4
O'clock p. M. Thanks to the enter
prise of our dress makers the
costume was worn at the wedding
which took place at 4.30 p. M. and
the happy couple returned on the
evening train. Who will talk OF
Gretna Green hereafter. Logan is
ahead.

Frye's Jump from Frying.Pan to Fire.

Senator Frye, of Maine, garnish-
ed his tariff speech with the old
story of the Englishman's predict
ion of the dire calamities that would
Overtake this country should it
abandon the present tariff policy.
A similar prediction was made by
the British Tories forty-odd years
ago, when the English Government
revised the tariff laws upon which
the boasted American protective
system was closely modelled. Then
the air of England was filed with
the prophecies of Tory journalists
and "quarterly reviewers" that if
the tariff laws should bo reformed
the Kingdom would be "hoodedn
with the products OF the "pauper
labor" of the Continent of Europe.
But, to confound the prophets, the
wages of labor are at this very time
higher in England than they are in
any protectionist country of Eu-
rope, and the condition of the
English workingman is better in
every respect than it ever was un-
der the old outworn system of
spOliation.
The very phrase "pauper labor"
so familiar in the mouths of Ameri-
can tariff mongers like Senator
Frye, belonged to the claptrap OF
the English protectionists during
the great struggle for the repeal
of the Corn laws. In truth, nearly
all OF the arguments, assertions and
predictions made by the advocates
of the present tariff of this country
are mere re-echoes of the clamors
of the British protectionists a
generation ago. In all essential
respects the speech which Senator
Frye made on Monday was refnted
n hundred times by Richard Golden
John Bright and their associates ip
the House of Commons when the
English Tories madly fought
against q repeal Of the oppre ssiye

Jan. II, 1888.
Ny Dear Sir: Absent when yours
of the 9th inst. came, till now /
have keen unable to- answer it,.
Rest assured that no stalwart
especially from this State, need ev-
er hesitate to write to me. You
must not, however, believe what
you read in newspapers. If all
that newspapers have said of me
had been true ] should long ago
have hidden myself from the sight
men. The particular report of
which you speak l never saw or
heard, except in your letter. Where
or why it originated | have no
means of guessing, and no fact
within my knowledge could have
given rise to it. Heartily | agree
with you as to the loss we all sutf-
cred in the death of Senator Howe
one Of the best men and best friends
/ ever met in public life. It is also
true, and a matter Of regret to me
as no doubt to you, that for some
years now the party in which you
and believe so much has not
maintained its usefulness and Wig
or. Quite out of the current now
myself and powerless to influence
the councils of those who manage
and direct. / shall hope for the
best and trust that the leaders will
find some way to bring back the
earnestness and wisdom which now
as much as ever since the war
are needed, and which would make
the party again victorious and a
blessing in the country. Wishing
you many a Happy New Year,
cordially yours,

does not differ materially from the

Hello! Columbus! !!
Let Us Hare n Telephone.

We in recent issue of the DEM
oCRAT argued the use and conven-
of connection by telephone with
Columbus, and stated that the said
connection could be accomplished
by constructing u line from here to
Lancaster.
We have made some estimates
which may not be entirely correct,
but will be probably found larger
than necessary. The wire propos-
ed is Galvanized wire No. II and Is
estimated at retail price, and the
distance at twenty miles. The
estimate is as follows:
1900 lbs wire at 7c 1854 90
700 poles at 2Oc 100 90
600 Insulators at &c 80 90
Planting poles Sc each 4S 90
Putting up wire 100 pr NJ. 90 90
Battery 80 90
8 Bells Instruments 72 90
Total S474 90
This furnishes one instrument
each, for Logan, Millville, and
Sugar Grove, and should these two
places not wish to connect the cost
would be reduced by the cost of in
struments or $500.
Let us suppose the capital is fix
ed at $500 and is divi led into fifty
shares of $1,000 each, and each of
the parties are furnished with
coupons emitting them to the use
of the line to extent of their sub
scription, how many months would
elapse before the the line is paid
for, and in condition not only to
be self supporting but to yield a
profit. Surely the chances of pro-
fit are much less hazardous in this
than in many others eagerly gras-
ped. Will not some of our business
men give the subject serious
thought, and let us unite in our en-
deavors to have Telephone.

BOTH MARRIED NEGROES.
A Case That Excites the Ire of Atlanta's Inhabitants.

ATLANTA, Ga, March IA bad case or nniscegenation and depravity came to the mo- tice of the police yesterday. Some time ago Susie Cunning, a good looking blonde girl, lo years of age, who lives in the country near Atlanta, was found to be the mother of a mulatto babe. She confessed that its fatner was Green Jackson, a negro. He fled, ana as she took good care of the child nothing was done by the officers. Tuesday Jackson got back to Atlanta and as he seemed nusn with money, although dressed in poor clothes, the police began an investigation, and finally locked him up suspect.
 When his case came up the Cunning woman and another appeared in court They were recognized by detectives, and after some pumping it was found that Susie Dunning had married the negro Jackson at Spring field, O. The woman with her was sister who had married another negro two years ago. The women were placed under arrest upon complaint of their mother, from whom Susie stole Sl 400 just before she went to Ohio. The mother is quite wealthy, owning good deal of city property. The case ere ated much comment, and Jackson was re- moved to the county jail, the police fearing that an effort would be made to lynch him. Mrs. D,lnning did not wish her daughters punished for the crime It is alleged that Green Jackson had planned to put Mrs. Dun ming out of the way and obtain her money.
