"AUNT CAROLINE
She LOred the Flag"

DWIGHT, ILL.,, has a "samtar.um,"
or something of the kind where me
brates are cured of their taste for
alcoholic stimuIants by the applica-
ton of bichloride Of gold. A n.y.
podermic syringe il used, and the
cure is effected in about fortnight.
! Thousands of "old sOaks" have been
cured, and a. matter of course are
loud in their praises of the remedy,
and the institution. As duty they
owe TO the public the newspapers
give the place good report, and its
wonderful work i'm the interest Of
humanity. Now comes Miss Francis
f.. Willard, an old maid who is sour
on the whole male sex, because none
OF its representatives ever solicited
her hand in marriage, and says the
drunkards are cured at Dwight in
order to hurt the cause OF prohibit
ton. Prohibition, Of course, is OF
more importance than curing men OF
a deviIish appetite; and then il there
was no demand for liquors, there
would he no need OF prohibition.
Miss Willard thinks more OF the
cause of prohibition, evidently, than
she does of redeeming those pitiable
creatures who are under the demon
of drink, just as many people in this
day and age of the world think more
of the particular "church" to which
they belong than they do OF the
salvation of souls, nr even OF the
great head of the church himself.
PIQUA, Ohio, where Major Nc
Kinley made some tin plate with
his own hands few weeks ago has
another sensation. After the Majors
exploit, one s;teinberger, chairman
of the local Democratic committee,
conceived a very smart idea. He
would write out n contract to pur-
chase tin plate made at the Piqus
works of American tin and lead,
while he looked on to see that every
Wa uuuc rfuoic. liz
reduced his mighty thought to manu-
script, and the quantity was 10 be
enough to cover his barn. Then he
took some of the boys with him to
the office of the company, TO have
the contract signed. His OBJ
ject, of course. was to bluff the
mocmpany, being morally GER
tain that no tin plate could be
produced in America. To his sur
prise, however, the company signed
the document, and now stands ready
to fill its part Of the contract when
ever Steinbsrger chooses to go to the
mills to see the plate made. Mr..
Steinberger is much chagrined and
like a true Democrat, is tryisg to
back out; but it won't go. He might
build tin monument TO his own
foolishness of heart with the mate
rial.

To THE EDITORS OF THE MIDLAND
JOURNAL, Rising Sun. Md.
Gentlemen :-In your last issue
was attracted by an announcement
of new firm that would conduct 8
merchandise business in Rising Sun
next year, viz: Worthington, Rober-
son & Go. Hailing from Bucks Co.,
along with large sprinkling of the
citizens of this neighborhood, l nat
urally felt an interest in knowing
who this new addition to the COM
munity was that was going to unite
with friend Robertson and constitute
the firm, which / learn from the. best
authority is in part to be styled
Worthington & Robertson, and be-
sides we Bucks countians as you are
aware are somewhat proud of our
representatives in Cecil, on the
average--both as to quality and
quantity; being almost fifty families
now of us all counting the original
emigrants and the families growing
out of them; almost enough to form
a Bucks county Alliance" Having
made that investigation, and as the
case merits a recommendation. /
believe it due to the party to let our
neighbors know who comes among
us, at least it can do no harm. Israel
Worthington was one of Bucks
county's most upright and substau-
tial citizens and great friend of the
late Azariah Rittenhouse, Of this
county. In short I am informed
upon the best authority that go
where you may it will be hard to find
better man than this son Of his,
Edward H Worthington, who comes
to join hands with Mr.. W. T. B R.
Robertson. who we all know as one
of the best and most popular citizens
we have. As Bucks Co. man felt
it but just to say this for stranger,
and one word for the one that leaves.
l join with many in expressions of
regret for the loss of such an honest
and pleasant gentleman as Mr..
Birmingham, Truly &c.,

Rising Sun Farmers Alliance No,

to it that none but men who can be
trusted with the public interest shall

Alliance proposes to stop class

in the state. Nationally the Alliance
is in favor Of the reconciliation of

Zone million eight.hundred and
twcnty.four thousand voters in the
United States remained away from

the true incentive for such action
found in the rapidly increasing belief
that the powers of Legislation have
been prostituted and that the United
States congress is simply the agent
by which the fruits of the labor of

Capt. J. r. Blanchard, owner of the
Alice Blanchard, the steamer that made
her first trip in to Aberdeen Saturday,
dropped in to see the HERALD Sunday
morning. Mr.. Blanchard expressed him
self we'll pleased with Aberdeen and
said:
'This is merely an experimental trip.
1 came to see if there was sufficient depth
in the channel to allow steamer the
size of the Alice to come in with freight
at low tide. l remained at the wharf
here until extreme low tide, when had
the steamer run without pilot, down
to the long wharf of Grays Barbor City.
In no place did find the depth OF water
less than fifteen feet, and soundings were
taken every few feet"
s'I find that l can come in over the
bar and run up to the Aberdeen wharf,
at extreme low tide, with 600 tons Of
freight aboard with perfect safety"
"I expect to build up good trade
with this city and other places on the
Harbor. 1 have two cargoes of brick
at Tacoma for, Aberdeen parties, with
a prospect of several more"
IT want this trade and am going to
give satisfaction. There are prospects
for good traffic from this point"
"The Alice has new machinery and
sufficient mower to make the run regular
" between Portland and the Sound and
will drop in here regularly
.'The people here have good Har-
Dor. Capt. E. ]. Moody came in and up
to Aberdeen without any trouble, and 1t
was the first time he ever crossed the
