One oil the most remarkable cases
Of close listed stinginess ever known
has just been brought to light in Sa-
lem, Ills. 1t is unnecessary to name
The parties, but the story as vouched
Tor by several citizens of this place is
as follows:
A farmer residing near here, worth
from $4,000 to $4,000, not long
since had brother in the neighbor-
hood who was very sick. The MT
tending physician requested that the
sick man be given small quantities Of
lemonade. The wealthy brother was
dispatched to town to get some lem
ons. He went to n leading grocery
store and purchased three for ten
rents. That night the sick brother
died, and only one OF the lemons had
besn used.
The day after the funeral the
wealthy brother took the two re-
naming lemons back to the mer-
chant and said as his brother had
died before using all OF them he had
no further use for them and he de-
manded six cents for the two return
Hd. The merchant refused to take
The lemons back and the misery old

Inhumanity in Maine.

A Saco man has in his family a
'tepdaughter about 7 years old,
those lot cannot be a happy one.
One afternoon the man and his
rite locked up the house, leaving the
girl outside, and went visiting. They
did not come back that night and ths
girl slept on the stone doorstep, get.
ting what she could to eat the next
day, as her mother and stepfathe,
still remained away. That evening
she had again camped upon the door
step when a neighbor saw her and
learned why she had no better bed.
He took her to his home, and bright
and early in the morning started out
with II club to try to beat little
humanity into the stepfather, pro.
viding he had returned. He found
him, and though he did not use the
club he gave him emphatic warning
that ii ne ever heard OF his abusing
or neglecting the girl again he would
use it. Thisi is one of the cases where
the American Peace association
would prescribe war, we think. =

that the farmers interests were in the

but how much for the whole lott I

The boy reckoned up and announc-
I'd his price of the lot as five shillings

The sailor counted out the money
and took the cage; and no sooner
was he assured that the birds were

Des Moines Insurance Company


We are pleased to call the attention of farm
ers and others desiring insurance to the fol-
lowing strong endorsements OF this Company
from leading papers of the state, and from
those who have been and are patrons of this
Company. Its business and popularity are
rapidly increasing, owing to the fact that it is
fair In its dealings with its patrons, and prompt
in its settlement Of losses. We commend the
following notices to the attention Of our read
crs:
The Homestead Of September 10, says
The Dies Moines Fire Insurance Co. has re-
ceived from Mr.. NJ. r. Kennedy, Of Creston,
Iowa, secretary Of the Union County Farmers
Alliance, the following letter: 81 received
your check for $50. thereby acknowledge and

slider 1t one of the best companies in the United

were promptly and honorably paid, so with my

pleased to publish statement of W. X. Wood,
ex-member Of our state legislature and one OF
our best farmers, regarding his settlement
with the Des MOines Insurance Company. We

THE STRONG RIGHT ARM OF PROTECTION.

have the benefit OF the difference be-
tween the face value OF bullion and
the value of it after it has been coined
into silver dollars? | do not know
OF any farmer who has got any bullion
to bring to market, nor do | know OF
any merchant who has any. The
Omaha smelling works, after the sill
YER bill had passed, are reputed TO
have made over 100000, but | have
not heard Of any body outside OF the
stockholders getting dime out of
their profits.
The unpresented disturbance and
depression OF trade, commerce and in
dustry which first manifested itself in
marked degree in 1873 and has pre-
vailed with fluctuations OF intensity
up to the present time, has been IN
terpreted by many as the natural re.
suit of the disuse OF silver as money
metal by the leading nations OF Europe.
Those who have taken the pains TO
look beneath the surface and study
the problem in all its bearings ascribe
the decline OF prices TO multitarious
| causes.
This decline In price has been uni.
versal. affecting nations that have
been involved in war, as well as those
| which have maintained peace; those
which have a stable currency based
, on gold, and those which have an uu-
stable currency based on promises
which have not beenk ept; those who
| live under system of free exchange OF
commodities and those whose ex-
changes are restricted by protective
duties. The decline in prices has af-
fected alike England, Germany, Aus
tralia, South Africa. the East Indies,
and California. The poverty in Aus
tralia was reported as more extreme
in 1855 than at any former period in
the history OF the colonies. And Aus
tralia had sS2 of money per capita.
| Abundance OF circulating medium
does not always represent prosperity.
The Argentine republic, with two mil
lions OF people, had 5000, 900 OF metal
ic money, S79, 900, 900 OF greenbacks in
1880. or slS9.70 per capita; but at
the end OF nine years her greenbacks
are almost worthless and tho country
is in state OF general bankruptcy.
Is it not a fact that 95 per cent Of
| all the business done in the clearing
houses and fully three-fourths OF all
the business done by merchants and
manufacturers is done by checks or
/ drafts
But France has s52 per capita and
America only $500. Just 50.
America has L 900 banks end every.
body docs his business through the
banks. France has less than one
hundred and fifty banks. and nearly
all the transactions done with ready
money. How about England? Eng
land does three times the business o.
France and carries on her commercial
affairs without friction and with hal
the per capita OF currency. This 1:
because the English transact thcil
business me same as the American,
do, while the people OF Francs still
! adhere TO the primitive way OF carry
ing on their purchases and exchange
with money.

We've heard Of a woman

We've heard Of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle Of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
try a second. a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health1 And "Favorite
Prescription produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy
in the nearest drug store.
