AN interesting exhibit is to GENE from
the Black Hills, 8. D., to the Worlds
fair at Chicago. which will display in
novel form the minerals found in the
Hills. The exhibit when arranged will
be in the form of a two-story and half
cottage. The framework of the structure
is already built. and is in the style of the
Renaissance, with towers and numerous
gables. 1t is impossible to decide on all
details, Of course. until all the material has
been collected, but the following plan
will be carried into effect as near as posi-
sible: The foundation will be made OF
pure white limestone headed with layer
of Buff alo Gap "calico" stone. The first
story will be veneered with pink quartz.
Above that the handsomest rocks obtain
able will be used-copper. mica, schist.
needle. spar. garnet. etc. The lower part
of the tower will be made Of rubies and
the upper part with some sparkling sub
stance The windows and shingles are
to be of mica and the steps of marble.
The cottage will no doubt prove an at
tractive feature of the state exhibit.

Literary Notes.

THE September Scribner contains the
unusual number of seven deliberately il
Illustrated articles. 1t is we'll known that
the late Samuel j. Tilden bequesthed his
great fortune to trustees. with the inten>
ton of founding in New York q great Ii
brary-coniding all details to the discre-
ton of the three trustees whom he &C.
lected, Messrs. John Bigelow. Andrew b
Green and George w. Smith. The court
of appeals held that the discretion was
too general and the will void; thereby
partially preventing the carrying out Of
one of the greatest and most beneficent
plans for q public institution ever formed
in this country by private citizen.
During the long process Of the lawsuit
over the will, the lips of the
trustees were naturally sealed as to
what were the details Of the project; but
now that the decision has been reached
thew are freed from any such restriction
more especially shy fortunate arrange
ment with one of the successful heirs,
thew are still left in possession OF sum
large in itself and sufficient to carry out
an important portion of the design. Ex

Catarrn Cant be Cured

with local applications. as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you have to take internal
remedies. Halls Catsrrh cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is no 9uack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians IN
this country for years; and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
ton of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonials free.

Gov. FIFER tried his level best in the
speech he made here to crawl out of the
hole his party has put him in on the
school question, says the Pekin Times.
He stated what frantic attempts he had
made to have the law changed. but he
failed to state when the democratic house
passed bill to repeal the obnoxious feat
ure of the law that the republican senate
in the last legislature killed the bill. The
governor should have been fairer with
the facts. The German Lutherans of
this vicinity know what the facts are, and
the more honest way for Mr.. Fifer would
have been much the better way.

the Barring failure he took care of the debts
OF the company and finally, in November,
1891, made contract with Messrs Spever
& Co. by which they were funded for
twelve months He stated to the
board of the Danville company BY whose
assent as lessee of the Central road
those negotiations were conducted, that, as
he was director of both companies, he
preferred to fix no sum, but to leave the
compensation for his services to disinter-
ested persons. At his suggestion the Dan
vile board selected Mr.. F. n. Tappen, pres
ident of the Galatin Bank, and my brother
selected Mr.. J. w. Ogden of the banking
house of Kessler q Co. as arbitrators, and
these two selected Mr.. R. NJ. Galloway, pros
ident of the Merchants National Bank, as a
third arbitrator. These gentlemen, after
looking fully into the matter, made a unan-
imous award in my brothers favor for $751;
925, which the Danville company has never
paid.
Both my brother and myself court the
fullest investigation. We notified the stock
holders months ago that their property
would be wrecked, When the Olcott plan
failed we took an active part in inducing IA
number of security holders to request
Drexel, Morgan & Co. to undertake the re-
organization OF the company. When Messrs.
Clyde and their associates, by having re,
ceivers appointed for the Danville road,
prevented Drexel. Morgan & Co. from
going on with this work of REORGANIZATION,
we determined that we would force the
directors to meet and call a stockhOlderS'
meeting at which the past and the present of
the company could be fully Investigated.
CONSCIOUS of the fact that we had always
been on the constructive side and had done
everything in our power to protect the in
terests of the Terminal company. we deter
mined to make another effort TO save the
company and bring to bay the men who
were responsible for its wreckage. We
urged the stockholders to unite in their own
defense and IN protection of their own in
terests. We have urged them to select men
OF the highest character to represent them,
who have not been identified with the pre-
vious history Of the company, and who,
acting from perfectly independent posi-
ton, would be able to nominate and elect
board of directors who would not abrogete
their trusts, and who would look after the
interests Of the company in the vitality i'm
portant litigation now pending.
This report of the so-oalled Strong ad-
visory committee, which comprises men,
bers Of the board who are directly respon-
sible for the present condition of tie COM
pany, indorsing as IL does the action OF
Msssrs. Clyde, Msben and Goadby in hsv-
ing receivers appointed for the Danville
road and forcing Drexel, Morgon & Co. re-
luctantly to decline to proceed with the
reorganization OF the company, is high
evidence of the necessity now existing for
the stockholders to rally and save their
property by selecting men to represent them
who are independent and in no way allied
with those who have wrecked the COM
pany."
