full of grit and work, and today L. S.
and r. S. Silvis are the largest land

contributed so literally to build, and
when he is gone to his new home it
will be source Of joy and pleasure
to him when he looks back and can
know how much he has done

Half q Dozen Chicago Publishing
Eouses on the Frink ofRuin.
CHICAGO, April 15.-Half dozen Chicago
publishing houses are said TO be trembling
on the brink Of ruin, as a result of the re-
cent suicide of Horace O'Donoghue, WE'LL
known printer. Two failures have already
resulted, and others. it is said, will follow
in the next few days. O'Donoghue secured
accommodations on paper from his custom
ers aggregating upward of 100000,
and several concerns are being forced
to the wall because Of inability TO meet
these notes as they fell due Ii is claimed
that W hen the O'Donoghue estate has been
strengthened out, but few OF the credit RS
will suffer, but just now the only thing the
publishers can do is to meet the promissory
notes as they come due and take their
chances Of getting full payment out of the
estate. Failing to do this they are COM
pelled to suspend business.
