THAT REMARKABLEIN INK.
A Card.

In reference to an article published in your
issue of the Goth ultimo, saying that had in
vented a copying ink that would copy without
the use of water or brush, beg to state that
the invention is original with my partner Mr.
Geo. b Wynns, and that by series OF ex-
periments, was.perfected by us jointly.
GUS MoRITZ.
We take this method of acknowledging
your courtesy of the 29th and ask
your kind indulgence in the following, as
there seems to be a mistaken impression that
our ink can be used only in connection with q
certain quality of copying paper. We claim
for our invention:
1st-That it will copy on the cheapest or the
best kind of copying paper.
2nd-That in using this ink it is not neces-
sary to incur the expense of new copy book
but is simply a change of ink.
3rd-NO water or brush being used, letters
are copied by perfectly dry process, there
being no possibility OF Elurred or iIlegible
copy.
We will put this ink on the market at
comparatively reduced prices over ali other
inferior copying inks now in use, and from
which copy can not be obtained without the
use of water or brush.
All the inks that we can manufacture within
the next 30 days, with our present limited
facilities are sold Our office on southeast cor
ner of Main plaza will be kept open from 9 to
IL O'Clock a. m, and from to 5 p. m, where
anr one wishing to make a test of our process
will be welcome and at liberty to do so.

O'Clock despite the efforts of Drs. Taylor and
BarnitZ who were called in. Smith was only
about II years of age, though tail and well de-
veloped as man. He had worked at the
Maverick for five months, but the

DefauIting County Treasurer.

MARSHALL, Ills, March 3O.-The

the great discrepancies shown by

Treatment of Hen Manure.

The value of hen manure depends
much upon its condition as to. moist
ure, lumpiness, ETC., and in order to
put it in condition for planting when
lumpy it should be mixed with twice
or three times its bulk OF moist loan
or meadow muck, and allowed to heat
for a few days, when the Jumps will
be easily broken up by overhauling it.
In cold weather the heating may be
FASTENED by sprinkling with hot water.

Widower's A1lurIng Promises Prove
Without theLoast Eject.
The observer was going from New
York to Hartford q few days ago. In
front of him were seated very
stylish young woman and man, the
woman in a Connemara cloak and a
small French capote trimmed with
buttercups. The gentleman was
little, fierce. and dark and middle-aged.
and he, too, was in brave apparel.
About half an hour after leaving
Bridgeport the train slackened its
speed. 1t is remarkable how loudly
the voice rings out when the passenger
has been talking against the rattle of
the train. Only on this occasion the
Stacking up was slowly done, SO
slowly that our gentleman. did not
realize that with the utmost distinct
ness the following sentences fell on
the ears of all the passengers within
eight or ten seats:

shoe and leather business and my

dollars in the Travellers. No re-

As these sentences fell from his lips
the sutton continued to raise his voice,
and when the train came to a full stop
we heard a cry:
..Adaline, may be precipitate in
saying SO, but l adore you"
An uncomfortable burst of laughter
from the innocent listeners awoke him
to the situation, and Alkaline the
silent, spoke. 1t was in a whisper,
but we saw that his alluring promises
were without effect. Alas. q freight
train had RUN OF the track, and we were
compellsd to wait for an hour and
half As usual, the car was crowded,

we should start for New York. 1t
