UNDERTAKEN, EMBALMER AND
FURNITURE DEALER.

On the West side of Broad street,
Just South of Brinkley's door,
Stands the large, Commodious building
Known as Ziegler's Furniture Store.
He carries a very choice stock,
Of everything, in the furniture line,
And also deals in Undertaker's ware,
In finish and style very fine.
And being a Cabinet-maker himself,
Having long served at the trade,
He's always prepared to do new work,
Or repair the old ready-nade.
He feels assured, your wishes to please,
And your every taste crafty,
That you'll no longer hesitate,
But make your selections and buy.
At his prices you'll never complain,
Or the terms he offers to sell,
Either at a discount for CASH,
Or installments, if it suits as we'll.
A kind invitation he extends to all,
Especially every new married pair,
To call and examine his beautiful goods
Before making purchases elsewhere.

THE GREAT STRIKE.

The great coal strike which
began last Saturday appears to
be success, and nearly one hun-
dred and thirty-three thousand
miners have quit work. The
Iowa and Kansas miners have
refused to join the strike, they
having been idle for months and
are i'll no position to strike. At
Birmingham five thousand
miners paraded the streets, on
Monday, bearing banners upon
which were all manner of in
scriptions, such as "Give us Our
Daily Bread" The Convict
Must Co." "United we Stand, -
At Lake View speeches were
made by strike leaders, urging
the men to stand firm.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

Says an exchange: Those
firms, whose names you see con-
stantly before the public, know
that advertising pays. They have
tested it thoroughly. The reader
may not read every time the ad
vertisement, but he sees it and
he's impressed with the fact that
that firm wants to secure trade
and is willing to bid for tan
impression is made and when he
wants to purchase goods he just
follows that impression.
Occasionally firm succeeds
very we'll without advertising
but the proprietor has to split
his throat and oftentimes short
ems his days working for what
advertising would bring him.
Don you know that those who
advertise extensively, would quit
if they didn't know that it pays
handsomely?
Now is the time to write and
print.

China n A Bad Way.

There can be no doubt that
China is in a bad way, as any
pOpulOus tyranny must be with
a foe at its gates and an enemy
within its walls. The latest re
port that a rebellion has broken
out in the important province OF
Mongolia does not surprise any
one who has informed himself OF
the internal condition of China.
Anything corresponding to what
we would call patriotism is virtu-
ally unknown in the dense out
lying provinces. Not only are
the people without any faith i'll
the present government, but very
many of them have traditional
hatred Of it which has been often
enough famed into outbreak by
the utterly soulless beaurocracy
at Picking. TO an American or
an Englishman the so-caIlcd Sys-
TEN by which the imperial power
has for centuries been exercised in
China, is well-nigh Incompetent
siblc, because it is a system of
delegated and capricious auto
cracy with no othcrraison 'etrc
than tradition, and arbitrary
stupidity outside Of a Turkish
Pashalick.
The European powers are be
ginning to adjust themselves to
the conviction that China is not
only a sick but fatally sick man,
with n galloping disease. The
