HOPEFUL.
Explorations of a Few of Little
Falls' Business Men on the :
Situation.
We are Fortunate That We are
Not More Unfortu-
nate.


called on some OF our business men
for an expression of their opinions
relative to the business and pros
poets with the following results:
G. A. Lindbergh-I believe that
within elk months people can have
all the money they need if they have
the security to offer.
George Hanna-Its the newspapers
that cause all this trouble about
money matters. They harp about it
too much. They should try to keep
it from the people. It's an idea more
than a fact that times are hard.
Mr.. Berg-I am not buying very
many goods and am selling all I
can. My trade has been and is still
good.
Geo. La Fond-That timesI are
hard at Saltwater goes without
gainsaying, but it's not chargable
to either political party.
H. A. Rider-This disturbance in
money markets has been brewing for
many moons. The change of admin
istration, of course, hurried it along,
but have great confidence in an
early relief.
NJ. NJ. Misunderstanding from a
local standpoint, I will say that in
not another place of the size OF Little
Falls in Minnesota is there as large
an amount of money distributed
monthly to laboring men as right
here. In not another city is as large
a per cent of the Inhabitants
employed steadily at regular wages.
Little Falls has been very fortunate
in securing manufacturers who could
continue business in the seasons OF
the utmost depression. 1t is at such
times as these that our peculiar ad-
vantages in cheap power, good loca-
ton and abundant raw material are
of particular benefit.
J. Wetzel-If not SO much of our
currency was slowed away in stock
ings times would be better. 1t is
not in it's proper channel, though it
will soon get back there.
r. HerrOn-Under the old party I
did not have to hold man up for
dollar. If the present administra-
ton will declare it's intention to not
modest the tariff for three years we
will see prosperous times quickly.
H. A. Baxter-There is too much
tariff for revenue only" and too
little wheat being garnered for bust
ness to he good on our branch line,
1 am sorry the receivership could not
not have been kept off a little while
longer. Better times are in the near
ufture.
II. J. MathiesOn-Timcsa are better
here than they are in Wabasha
county. have great confidence in
not only the future growth of our
city, but the prosperity of the entire
country.
JnO. A. Berkey-All OF our manu-.
featuring enterprises and business
firms have been doing profitable
business, but the rapid growth Of
the city has generally compelled such
enlargement of plants, improvements
| in business blocks and increase III
mercantile stocks that many were
compelled to become borrowers at q
time just previous to an unusual con.
traction in all lines of credit. We
have firm foundations for local pros.
perity, and with the return of gen.
eral confidence (soon to be realized
Little Falls will pride itself on the
ease with which it withstood q
strain that brought disaster to SO
many communities.

Official reports of the insurance
companies doing business in the
United States shows that there has
been an actual loss of eight million
dollars in conducting the business dur
ing the past four year. And these re-
ports do not include the business Of
the many companies that have been
forced into bankruptcy during that
time by the unusual bad luck Of the
period. 1t has been necessary to
make general increase in the in
surance rates in the entire country.

n REPENTANT HOARDER.
Furgo Forum: A frightened
farmer drew $500 from one of the
city banks Monday fearing to lose it.
The bank paid him in 300 silver dol
lars which he packed around couple
of hours and then went to return
them to the bank, but the bank re-
fused to take his account. He went
to every bank in the city and tried to
deposite his specie, but they were all
on to him and not one would take his
money. He lugged the load a while
longer and finally begging and saying
he would rather work in the harvest
field than to be bothered with the
money, the bank he took it from took
pity on the frightened depositor, and
gave him a time certificate for it.
The man admitted himself u dolt and
went back to his farm concluding
he'd better let the cashiers run the
banks, while he harvested his grain.

What is it that is awakening people
all over the land and causing such a
thrill OF excitement and gratitude
everywhere among the sick and suffer.
ing2 1t is the new departure by that
greatest and most successful specialist
in the cure OF all nervous and chronic
diseases, DR.. Greene. of IS West Four
tenth street, New York, who offers to
the sick everywhere the opportunity OF
consulting him by letter, free of charge.
Think OF it, sufferers, you who have
sought in vain for relief. or for salts
factory explanation of your disease!
BY writing him about your complaint,
this great physician will send you, free
Of charge, an exact explanation of your
disease and what to do to be cured.
He gives most careful and explicit at
tention to all letters, and makes you
understand Just what your complaint
is. He is the discoverer OF that great
nerve cure, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and uses nothing in
his practice but harmless vegetable
medicines. The success which he is
having in curing disease through letter
correspondence is marvellous. Write
him, then, all about your complaint
and you will without doubt be cured.
