An extract from a letter from our
Charles Jacoby, now in New York:
"The. manufacturers are suffering for the
want OF ready money
Spring orders are delayed. The great finan-
cial distress of the country has caused panic
among manufacturers
l have taken advantage of these ciraum-
stances and have bought heavily although
know you are already crowded with goods.
Still have bought at prices lower than ever
anticipated getting goods at. and you can now
give the public prices that will be really less
than the cost to manufacture"

important letter to announce the arrival

THE whiskey-ring will spare neither
pains nor money to clear their secretary
of the charge of attempting to blow up
the Shufeldt distillery; but if the states
attorney, Mr.. Longenecker, is certain of
his facts as they have leaked out from
his Office, the proof will be ovarwhelm-
ing OF the guilt OF Gibson. The people
have good grounds for their proneness
to believe that the secretary is guilty.
The corporation, or rather monster
trust, of which he was a leading
official, has carried things with
a high hand in this country. 1t has
dictated legislation to congress and
exercised power in the internal
revenue department which has given
currency to the popular belief that this
tremendously wealthy combination is
as powerful with the government as
it is unscrupulous in it's means of COM
passing its ends. 1t has been behind
all the bloody battles waged against the
mo onshiners in the south, and has ex-
ercised a veto power over every excise
appointment made for sections where
there was the slightest possibility that
any practices might arise that would
lessen their control OF the whiskey trade
of the country. We all know how it's
agents have annoyed and bounded the
wine makers of Southern California. 1t
has had its own tools appointed as in
spectors, and kept up 80 harrassing a
system of espionage as to drive many
honest wine-makers out of the business
rather than be subject to their constant
and unbearable annoyances. For years
this ring has prevented the passage of
the sweet-wine fortifcation bill. A
combination which could corrupt con-
gressmen and dominate by questionable
means federal department, is capable
of blowing up and destroying dstil
lery that refused to join it in its nefarious
and high handed courses.

WE SHALL soon be confronted with a
problem in shipment which will tax the
energies and transportation resources of
the several overland railroads. The Or
ange crop of this year, it is estimated,
will fill four thousand cars. But about
three hundred carloads have go far been
dispatched. 1t would therefore require,
in order to ship the crop before the first
OF June, that the companies should start
four trains of ten cars each every day
from this time on for the next one hum
dred days. This is not, Of course, be-
yond the capacity OF the roads, but the

Ginnehaha, 8. D., has just finished =
new court house at cost Of $126, 900.
Over t10, 600 worth of vaults were ordered
in, and recently the company making
the contract was notified that the safes
could not he accepted. The understand
ing was that no one could open the
vaults unless he had the combination
or was an expert at safe blowing.
Last week Edward H. Saunders, a
plumber, not over II years old, entered
the county clerks Office while the clerk
was endeavoring to open one Of the new
vaults. The combination had been lost,
and finally the clerk gave up the job.
Young Saunders, who was standing by,
said he could open it. County Commits
sioner Mckee offered to give Saunders
$10 if he could open the safe. The
proposition was accepted. The young
lad placed his ear to. the door, listened
to the fall of the tumblers, and in q few
moments the door swung open. Saunders
was turned out of the room and the COM
bination was changed. Another trial
was given the young genius and again
the door few open. The chairman Of
the county commissioners has informed
the safe company that their safes would
not be accepted, and awaited their fur
ther orders.
Saunders has since opened vault
Of the Hall make in one of the leading
banks of the city as easily as if he knew
the combination. In one Of the letters
that passed between the commissioners
and the safe company the latter agree to
forfeit $40, 900 if the lad can open any
vault without first knowing the combi-
nation. Plumbers Trade Journal.

Grain and Hay This Year Will be of
Fine Quality.
"The rain has been Just right for us
farmers" said Mr.. Dan Freeman to a
HERALD reporter yesterday. "We could
stand more if it came, but we don't need
it much. / only have $4,000 acres in
grain this year, but | am very happy
over saving that. I used to SOW thirty
and forty thousand acres every season to
grain, but land is becoming too valua-
BILE for that nowadays. l think the

coarse, while there is no reason to think
that grain will be anything but OF good

Trusting a Stranger.

A queer story is told about Maine
character who recently won an unenvi-
able notoriety. While well known
Baptist clergyman, Rev. G. V. Hanson,
was coming from Lewiston by train
about year ago, an elderly man in the
same car inquired whether there was
any one present going to Skowhegan.
Mr.. Hanson told him he resided there,
whereat this man counted out $500, and
gave the same to Mr.. Hanson to deposit
in the First National bank.
The circumstance passed from his
mind until one day looking over his pa
pers Mr.. Hanson discovered by the re-
ceipt given him by Cashier Page that
the man who intrusted him with the
$500 was none other than Micah w. Nor
ton, of New Portland. Either Norton is
a pretty good reader of physiognomy or
thinks he is.-Somerset Reporter.

War seems imminent in Brazil.
The province Graapana has declared
It's independence Of the Brazilian re-
public, and the province Of Bahia is
also expected to throw of its allegiance
to the republic. The action is due to
disafection on account of the dicta-
torial policy Of Fonseca.
In the window Of Gilbert 6 Wilcox
there is a picture of Dan Daley and his
opponent, Tommy White, as they APP
peared in their fight on DIG. 9Th. 1890,
IN Omaha, which IS attracting consider
able attention, for the reason that this
match was the longest feather weight
contest in the world, lasting 5 hours
and Sc minutes, and which Daley won
after a ~hard-fought battle, succeeding
in knocking his man out on the 9th
round. A number of other sporting
men appear in the picture, and gives a
very desirable view to those interested
in athletics.
As announced in the columns Of the
STAR for the last week, a "box soclable"
was held by the ladies of the NJ. E..
church, at President Hancher's resi-
dence on College Flat, and was largely
attended, some sev~enty-fve being pres
ent to enjoy this novelty in sociables.
At about s O'clock the fun commenced,
and games and quiet talks held sway
until the tickets were brought forth,
when a grand rush was made and half
dollars dropped in the dish with a ra-
pidity of tinctillation that was delight
full to hear. To those who may not be
acquainted with this kind of sociahle,
perhaps a short description would elu-
cedate matters. Each gentleman buys
a ticket, on presentation of which to
the ladies in charge of the boxes. he
receives a box with a duplicate num-
her, a supper for two enclosed,
and the name of the lady with
whom he partakes. Much fun was
occasioned by this most desirable way
Of pairing couples. Mr.. j. G. Dickover
favored the guests with several solos,
which were we'll received. The ladies
can be compl,mented on the success Of
their entertainment, both financially
and socially, as it brought to the aid Of
the church about SIG.

A Writer OF Some COnceit Taken Down =
Peg OF Two.
There is on old story, writes Arlo Bates
in the Book Buyer, which relates that in
the early days of T. b. Aldrich's editing Of
the Atlantic his publisher, Mr.. Houghton,
who had, or pretended to have, some vague
literary aspirations, remarked to his new
editor, with an air half serious and half
jcsting:
81 am going Il send you a story I have
written, but l shall send it under a fictitious
name."
.Then," was Mr.. Aldrich's remark, 81
advise you to send 1t to q fictitious editor.n
l have never inquired whether the story
IS true, hut 1t came back to my mind the
other day when l heard the story Of o wager
which Lad just been decided. A literary
man, whose name Is pretty well known, was
arguing with a brother author tho obvious.
~ foolish proposition that acceptance goes
by favor, and, being Of Q disposition which
-lhope he will pardon my saying, since l
DO not name hints at least unusually
firm, his support of his views of tine case
became more determined as he proceeded.

length. 'I've two short stories done, au..
one Is no end better than the other. They are
written on the typewriter and I'll send the
worse one over my W name to a maya
zine and the other over an assumed name,
and I'll bet you five dollars that my name
carries the poor one, while the better one
comes back.n
The wager was accepted, the manuscripts
sent of, and the event awaited. By all
considerations Of poetic justice the young
author should have won his wager, but as q
matter Of fact he did not. The story with
his name on it came back, .declined with
