Died-April 10Th, at 3 o'clock A. NJ,
Mrs. Eleanor Robinson aged nearly II
years. She was taken very Ill about three
months ago and it was thought from the
beginning that she could not recover on
account of her advanced age. Mrs.
Robinson was born in Belmont county
Ohio and came to Trego county about
four years ago with her husband and
children. She has been a member OF the
Presbyterian church since girlhood,
always lived a consistent Christian life,
and when the summons came she was
ready to go. She was much loved by all
who knew her. Her sufferings at times
were intense but she bore them with
great patience. Funeral services were
held at the Presbyterian church on sab
bath by Rev. Brown and she was then
laid away to rest in the Wa-Keeney
cemetery. The relatives desire to express
their heartfelt thanks to the friends in
Wa-Keeney for their sympathy and
assistance.

that there are some unprncipled per-
sons in the profession.
b Women should always know the
standing of the man to whom they in
trust their negatives. They should con-
slider well his character and manner of
doing business before permitting him
to make picture of them. The mega
tive once in his possession Gf he is so
I dlSpOSed), he has the means of causing
them great modification by using it for
base purposes.
The writer has repeatedly received
the thanks of women for calling their
attention this subject, as it is a mat
ter of great Importance, and one to
which the attention of the public has
not before been called.
The head of some prominent woman
is cut from her picture and pasted on
the figure of some notorious woman in
undesirable costume or position. This
can be done so neatly as to defy detec-
ton. few touches of India ink will
conceal the places of joining, and it re-
quires magnifying glass to discover
them. The picture is then copied, and
persons as unprincipled as the operator
are ready to buy and show them as the
picture of Mrs. - or Miss -, as the
case may be.
These transactions are carried on
apart from the ordinary work, and are
not exposed for sale to the general
public, but the places where they are
sold are known to the purchasers of
such vile fl auds. One of the worst
features of the case is the impossbility
OF knowing how many of these counter
feits are aflOat in the community. The
fear of detection has prevented this
transaction from being done to any
great extent. but it has been done. and,
as they are issued without the name or
address of the publisher, it is almost
Impossible to trace them to their source.
In the days of the old daguerreotype
the proprietor of prominent gallery
would make several sittings Of a pretty
subject, and after she had gone with
one for herself. he would finish up the
several plates and sell them to any one
willing TO pay round price for Them
This mode Of doing business could not
continue long without detection, and he
was obliged to close his gallery and
leave the city, to escape richly de-
served chastisement from the friends of
the young ladies.
The question as to the prOpriety of the
photographers exhibiting as specimens
the picture of private parties has been
the cause of much trouble. Some per-
sons seem delighted to have their pict-
ure on exhibition in his showcase,
while others object to such publicity.
The man who is worthy your patrona ge
will at all times consult and conform to
your wishes in this matter.

were standing on his money he would
be as big as the late lamented Irish
giant, he smiles and says, MY little
ness is what made me my money" And
so it did, truly, in degree at least.
In fact, he realized the mar

size so thoroughly that he HAD it copy
righted years ago. In the collection of

boy, and went out to Michigan TWEEN

grew up with the country, and managed
to seize pretty big slice Of it while the
process was taking place. He OWNS
railroad, a private bank, the greater
part of a national bank, and only he
knows what all besides. He is giving
himself entirely to that sort of thing
nowadays. 1t was in mercantile pur-
suit, however. that he got his big start.
