Every business man should see to it th'
his name is in the paper every week
will indicate he is still in the land of tt
living, at least.
AS cold weather comes on the dang
of fire is increased. Too much care ca
not be taken in seeking to avoid all III
necessary peril, and still much careles
ness is manifest. Some of the alleys an
vacant space back of buildings are in
condition inviting contiagration. W
have been fortunate but will not alway
escape. Citizens should be prudent a
possible and the authorities should b
very vigilant.
The public need not be impressed wit
the idea that it pays to patronize thos
who advertise their business. The
want your trade, are frank in saying 81
and are not ashamed to call attention t.
their goods and merchandise. They hav
nothing to conceal either in quality o
prices, and emphasize the fact week afte
week. 1t not only pays to advertise bur
purchasers may be assured that liberia
advertisers are liberal dealers.

S. G. Comstock, the republican candi-
date for congress has proved himslf a
valuable member both to his district and
the country at large. He has been the
active champion of large number of
bills of special interest to his constitu-
ents. THE HERALD would call atten.
ton especially to the sturdy and effect
i've manner in which he has advocated
the rights of the settlers on the North
erd Pacific indemnity lands. He made a
powerful argument before the Senate
committee, and secured great conces-
sions. The settlers who lost their lands
will have the right of re-entry ongovern-
ment lands without further expense,
On Monday, while Edward, the fifteen
year old son of Ed. Cavanaugh, who
lives on the c. M. Bennett farm in Ashley,
was playing with a gun, he accidently
discharged the contents of one of the
barrels into his left foot. One of the
smaller children had removed the per-
cussion cap from the gun and crowded
some of the composition into the tube.
The boy, not supposing that the gun
was loaded, was swapping the hammer
on the lock when the gun was discharged
the entire charge lodging in his instep,
inflicting an ugly wound. Drs. Dubois
and McMasters were called and rendered
such aid to the sufferer as was possible.
They fear that amputation may be nee
essary.

There was a narrow escape from fire
at Captain Bruce's home on Wednesday
night. About midnight the family was
awakened to realizing sense that the
house was full of smoke, and there was a
strong smell of scortched leather. George
Fish jumped to the conclusion that the
store below was on fire. Investigation
showed, however, that it was only
pair of the Captains dainty shoes.
When he retired he left his shoes and
on rug directly under the
electric light, which he turned out when
he retired. The light burned out, and
sparks fell upon the shoes and stockings,
and they were completely consumed.
Strange to say the rug was not even
scorched. How such an enormous bon
fire could do so little damage, is the
mystery, Hereafter the Captain will
sleep with his shoes on.
Our reporter had the plearure of being
shown through the rooms of the Sank
