THE TIMES calls the attention of its read
ers to the fact that no other paper contains
so much news, nor Is SO appreciated by
writers of this Co. When DR.. Ward has a
good thing to say, THE TIMES c0mmuni-
Gates it to the public. When DIR. Parkill
has to say of pioneer experiences, The
TIMES tells it; when Miss Helen Manning has
some cheering words to write from the San

The Retail Merchants Protective
Association.

The above is the title OF an association
with its home Office in Rochester, N. Y,
and branch offices in all the leading cities of
that state, and Michigan offices in Detroit
and Lansing. This association is incorpo-
rated under the full liability act of the laws
of the state of New York, and is recon-
mended by the leading business men
throughout the country. Its president and
treasurer Geo. 4. st. John, is a man who
stands high in the financial world, being
president of the German American Bank of
Port Clinton, Ohio, and is also connected
with several of the leading business enter
prises of Sandusky.
This association has for its object the pro-
lection of the business men from the merci-
less imposition of that large and increasing
class of irreSpOnsibles, known in business
parlance as ''dead BEATS"
Through this association the members are
furnished with special report upon appli-
cation on the consumer, and with an abstract
of unsettled accounts published semi-annual-
ly. In order to issue this abstract it is nee
essary to have collection department in
connection, for being financially responsible
they are compelled, before listing any per-
son, to fully satisfy themselves that the
party listed has no honest intention Of
settling their account.
through TINS system the business men or
the country have been enabled to collect
thousands Of dollars of what was considered
worthless accounts, upon which other means
have been employed and failed to reach the
desired results.
Representatives of the above association
are now in this city organizing local branch
of this association. They come highly
recommended from the business men of De-
troit. Lansing and other cities of our state.
| They have already secured more than a
sufficient number of our leading business
men to justify an organization here. The
merchants who have not been seen will be
called upon and given chance 10 join the
local branch and protect themselves from
the accumulation of any more worthless &C
counts. Every business man of this city
should secure membership i'm this assoca
ton, for i'm doing so they are not trying ar
experiment, but encouraging an enterprise
that has proved successful in other state:
and will certainly do for Michigan what i
has done for the others, 'protect the bust
ness men from imposition"

BROTHER BEN.
The Queer Fancies Of a Harmless
Lunatic.

He had so much dignity, this Oldham,
so much manner that had been quite
impressed by him.
We had walked up together from the
post-ofice several times. and as board
ed near his house l often saw him in
passing, and thus we struck up an odd
sort of friendship, for / was twenty
while he was nearly seventy.
We used TO talk on various subjects
politics, religion, the people OF the town
and the geology of the surrounding
country, and 1 found him well informed
and liberal in his views, and, better
than all. tolerant of the opinions of a
young man.
supposed that this tolerance i'm
messed me the more because, owing to
NV youth, 1 had been recently rather
snubbed by some of my male relations,
and on that account had come to try my
fortunes among strangers
So 1t was that when this courtly old
gentleman showed me such marked and
polite attention 1 felt rather hattered
and greatly comforted thereby. never
had met any other Of his family, al
though understood from, him that he
had wife and an elderly daughter
who lived with, him in the great man
sion half hidden from the street by a
growth of trees and shrubs.
I often stopped to talk with him at
his gate. and he had invited me in more
than once, but I -always refused, until
one day he said, abruptly: do you
know that / have taken such fancy

Unwarranted Criticism.

There is a great deal of complaint
among taxpayers because or mistakes
made in regard to- their taxes. Messrs.
Charter, Morrison and others have
found errors, but such things must De
expected until the new men get full
swing of the business and when the
attention of the treasurer is called to
them they are made right Hope
Herald.
1t would have shown better taste on
the part of the Herald to have investi'
gated before making such charges.
The facts in the two cases named show
that the county officers were by no
means to blame.
In the Morrison case the ass essorhad
fixed Mr.. MorrisOn's personal property
valuation at S254. Subtracting $500
exemption he carried out by mistake
SI54. No one else was to blame,
the county officials taking the total as
sent in. In the Charter case the taxes
had been paid on the place in question
by NJ. 2. Jolley before Mr.. c. came up
TO pay them and the county treasurer
refused to accept a second payment.
This disposes of all the irregularities
the Herald mentions and we suggest
that before it makes any more III
natured breaks it is sure of its ground

William Peters Goes Free.

The case Of State VS.. VIM. J. Peters
came up for preliminary examination
in the Justice court of J. p. Quinn this
afternoon. 1t will be remembered that
c. w. Mcdaniel, superintendent of the
Missouri & Kansas Telephone Co.,
charged Peters with embezzliDg 1872 of
the company's money.
A ten days continuance was granted
and the case was today disposed of by
the court dismissing the defendant.
Mcdaniel did not appear to testify
against him and the shortage having
been adjusted nothing remained but to
declare Peters not guilty.

An important Ruling.

Judge Graves, of Emporia, ruled in
a case the other day in the Lyon county
court that the words with exchange"
destroyed the negotiability of a prom
issory note. 1t is a question that has
never been decided in Kansas before
and will have considerable interest for
those interested in money loaning.
The words are frequently upon notes
and there has in so many Instances
been negotiation of the paper without
a thought of any illegality about the
proceeding. 1t is probable that the
case will be carried to the supreme

THE GRIP WE HAVE TO CARRY

For each and all IN ways along,
It matters not If weak or strong.
Or whether young, or whether old,
The way be poor, or strewn with gold
There is a grip to carry.
It may be gildcd, or be worn,
It's all the same, it must be borne,
There's no escape, no use TO try,
The better way is shoulder high
The G .ip we have to carry.
Our brother Just across the way
Seems highly favored day by day.
We murmur at our lot and pine,
To think he has the best Of wine,
And has no grip to carry.
But ali! his grip is tinsel-tipped'
His wine too bitter to be dipped;
We can not lift the weight he bears,
We can not know another's cares,
Till we his grip would carry.
To each and all is stinted out
The one adopted for the route,
If large or small, If old or new,
It's suited, friend, to me, to you,
The grip We have to carry.
Then let US march with shout and song.
Twill make the way less hard and long,
The burden borne will lighter grow,
Till we shall almost cease to know
We have grip to carry.

Fruit,

excellent regulator of the system. The
trouble is it cannot be obtained when
needed, but Hamburg figs, the vegetable
fruit cathartic, may always be found
at your druggists. Hamburg figs do
their work thoroughly and without
fuss; they cause no pain or weakness,
and are everything that mild laxative
and Purgative should be. Besides this,
they are so pleasant to take that chill
dren even eat them as eagerly as can
dy. They are so safe that an overdose
need cause no uneasiness. We say
with confidence, therefore, that for all
cases of constipation, give Hamburg

FREE CORN FOR SEED.
The Famous Jerusalem Corn Fur
nished by the Government


The entire supply of Jerusalem corn
in Kansas at the present time came
from two kernels. These produced
the seed from which fYe bushels were
raised the following season, and the
next crop amounted to 500 bushels.
The plant grows to the height of about
three feet, and resembles broom corn
or sorghum. The grain is white and
answers every purpose which is served
by Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and
better bread, and is delicious when
boiled, after the manner of OAt meal.
In wet weather it runs to stalks and
gfows six feet high without any grain
TO speak of. 1t produces best when the
season is dry, and after the plant gets a
start it is said to be absolutely imper-
Tious to the influence of drOuth and hot
winds The farmers of Kansas are
preparing to ecQage i'll its culture next
season to a large extent, and they can
secure five pound packages NJ seed
free of cost by addressing H. c. Brooks,
agent of the United States experiment
tai grass station, at Garden City.
