Story of q Deserted Town.

miles, are four towns, Emerson, West

more fertility than scruples, plated and

where they claimed the great Northern

becoming interested and money was

actual construction of that town, but a
substantial reality.

was the agent. He sold lots at auction

Pertinent Questions.

The Maysville (Ky.) Daily Ledger gets
the free traders of that city into cor.

tions for free traders to answer, as
follows:
If duties are lowered, will not more
foreign goods be imported?
If more goods are imported, will not
less goods be made al homer
If less goods be manufactured here,
will not fewer workmen be employed ?
If fewer workmen will be in demand,
will not lower wages necessarily pre-.

If workmen are not paid better wages
here than in Europe, why is itthat for.

HE HAD METHOD.
The Alleged idiot Who has Terrified
the Good People of
Bainbridge.

A few days ago, as mentioned in this
paper at the time, colored boy named
Nixon was arrested at Bainbridge, for
setting barns on fire. AS mentioned
then, he was bound over to court in the
sum of $500, and is at present confined
in the Jail here.
1t seems that this boy Nixon is quite
character, and has interested the
people at the Jail more than little. He
set several barns on fire, one OF which
came very near sending the Paint Flour
Mills up in smoke, and though he is a
"little bit OFF, in his upper story, yet
had quite an ingenious way of starting
his fires.
He had secured piece of wire about
fifty feet long, and would fasten match
to one end oft, bury the match in the
hay NOW OF stable, and under the
match place little piece of sand paper.
Then he would 60 to the other end of
the wire and twist it, thereby rubbing
the match against the sand paper and
igniting it,
After the fire had started he would
pull in the wire and make good his es-
cape, without anyone suspecting him.
1t was for this reason that his response.
bility for the fires was not discovered
for some time. He expresses no sorrow
for his crimes, and says he had several
more fires in contemplation Chillicothe

A special from Vanceburg says sen.
sation was created in political circles in
Lewis county Wednesday, when Hon.
W. G. Halbert, County Attorney and
Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee, sent in his resignation to
the Secretary of the Committee, and an
nounced his intention of hereafter acting
with the Republican party. Opposition
to the present policy and tendencies of
the Democratic party on the tariff ques.
ton is given as the reason. He is the
only Democrat at present holding a
a county office, is leading lawyer in
that section of the state, has always
taken prominent part in Democratic
politics, and was regarded as a good
piece of Democratic timber out of which
to shape Congressman next year.

Three Beggars.

The gold brick and lightning rod boys
w i'll now take back seat, az "Pap"
Jones, of the o. & M. Railway, tells OF
the latest bunko game. The alleged ar
lists are as smooth as they make 'em,
and their little game has been played
with the greatest success. At present
the party, composed of FIVE persons is
operating in Southern Indiana.
One day last week man and woman,
accompanied by six year. old boy, made
their appearance in Osgeod, Ind. The
trio looked to be in the direst poverty.
They were almost nude. The little
party entered the yard in the rear OF
the leading hotel and began to runage
around in the garbage barrel. The
woman subsequently approached the
kitchen door and asked for drink of
water, which was given her, together
with some wholesome food.
A number of the guests of the hotel
saw the half starved little family, and
it was whispered around the hostelry
that purse should be taken up for
them. The man was called into the
hotel office, where he told a group of
persons that he and his wife and little
boy had walked from Raleigh, N. c.,
and we're on their way to a town in
California. The mans story seemed 80
plausible that every one in the hotel
was touched. One impulsive guest who
was supposed to be travelling man,
came to the front and started the ball
rolling by dropping $lO-bill in his
hat. The top-piece was passed around
and in short time $16S had been col.
lected and handed over to the unfortu.
nate little family.
The recipients of this liberal supply OF
funds then knelt down and prayed fer.
vently in front of the hotel. They after.
ward secured railroad tickets and de.
parted from Osgood on west bound
passenger train. The following day the
three mendicants and the two men who
started the subscription we're seen TO-
gether at Olney, ILL.,, by "Pap" Jones
who had contributed $40 to them at the
Indiana town. They had evidently
divided the spoils and were ready to ply
their little game in some other unsus
pecting community. "This is pro
gressive age" said Jones, as he told how
he and the Osgood people had beer
taken in.-Eng,tirer

The Millionaire n Worker.

The difficulties of my boyhood are
still fresh in my mind, and still strangely
influence my views of life. Those early
years, and they were years of struggle,
in which l bumped against human nat.
ure and studied it, did more to strength.
en- me in mind and character than any,
thing else that has come in my life
since.
| consider it one OF the most fortu.
nate things to be born poor. The argu-
ment that the poor young man has not
an equal chance with the rich young
man is profoundly silly. In this age of
developement, rapidity of change, and
national prosperity, the rise OF young
man depends entirely upon his individ.
ual and faithful effort. We have dis.
tinctly American disease :: it is American
push. 1t is contagious, and the sooner
a young man is seized by it, the sooner
will he succeed.
1t is mistake to suppose that mil
lionaires do not work Probably the
greatest and saddest misunderstanding
between the rich man and the poor is
that the rich man does not know how
much the poor man suffers and the poor
man does not know how hard the rich
man works.-Ihe late Orlando B. Potter,
in "Lite as Found by Millionaires :" Dem.
orest's Magazine for March.
