Some Business Rules.

For the information of those who
first subscribed to the Northeastern
Aqriculturasts dubbed with their loca
paper, we beg to state that the local
publisher pays us for the first years
subscription only, and the name of the
subscriber goes on our list just the
same as if any agent had sent it. That
ends the connection of the local pub
Usher with the matter and after the
expiration of the year it is expected
of the subscriber that he will send his
payments directly to us. The terms
we give to country publishers and
to agents in order to introduce the
paper involve a direct loss on the first
years subscription and it is but right
that we should ask that renewals be
sent directly to this office. The fact
that many county publishers pay US
for the subscriptions and then give
our paper free as premium with their
own in order to induce their sub
scribers to pay up in advance does not
lessen the obligation of the subscriber
who continues after the first year, to
pay our regular subscription price
which is only fifty cents a year. Be-
cause he receives it free the first year
lat the expense of his local publisher)
he must not think that il is published
free. If he had to foot our expenses
he would realize that all that reading
matter which we send him costs some
body something. Why should he not
pay his pittance or else notify US that
he does not want the paper?
Be sure to pay for what you have
already received, up to the time of
notifying US or we cannot stop the pa
per. We can not afford to lose fifteen
twenty or forty cents on a thousand or
five thousand subscriptions. 1t
amounts to thousands of collars.
To ''get mad" and refuse the paper
at the postotfice without paying ar
rears is dishOnorable. 1t does not en-
able US to take the subscribers name
off of our list because we must collect
arrears first. Neither can we do so
when our subscriber remails our paper
back to u.s. That does no good because
we have no means, usually, of ever
knowing from what postOtfice the pa
per came. When you want to discOn-
t:nue, pay up your arrears like man
and state your desire like a gentle
man and you surely will have no cause
to complain. All that we want is
what is due US.

A LONG SUFFERER.
Editor Van Horn, of nuscatine, Iowa,
Suffered Three AmputatiOns OF
One of His Limbs Before Yield
ing up His Life.
He Was an Uncle to Mrs. Judge
Severance of TlankatO.

In Saturdays issue of the FREE
PRESS a telegram from Muscatine,
Iowa, announced the death OF Hon.
Geo. w. Van Horn, postmaster and
editor of the Morning Neecs-Iribune OF
that city. About four years ago
deceased had one Of his limbs ampu-
tated above the knee, the operation
being demanded on account of a can
Ger. About two years later a second
amputation was necessary and SIX
months ago the diseased member was
again cut off. The poisonous effects
of the cancer, combined with the ter
rible suffering of the affected man
caused his death on Friday.
Mr.. Van Horn was probably the
youngest man who ever represented
his country abroad. When less than
twenty-five years of age he was ap-
pointed by President Lincoln consul
to MarSeilleS and served in that
capacity for several years. He was a
gentleman of unusual brilliancy, and
thoroughly popular with all his ac-
uuaintances. At the time of his death
he was serving as postmaster of his
city, having been appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland.
He was an uncle of Mrs. Judge
Severance of this city who. while she
knew of his illness, first learned OF his
death through the FREE PRESS Satur-
day night.

Nebraska's destitute, and read Gre
dentials from leading officials of the
state. He stated that Superintendent

wished to make donations, and that
the material might be sent free.
lsidor Longini wanted the matter
referred to the regular relief organiza-
tions who could do the work more
successfully. The board had not done
any charity work as body.

tions, and that the people be urged to

be over $500, 900 more than if payable
in gold, but for which gold bonds may
be substituted within ten days, and
WHEREAS, The same thing
may have to be repead, thus
causing material increase of
taxation, because the few of
our own people as well as the for
eign nations, that coin bonds may be
paid in deprecated cure ncy;theref0re
ReSOlUed, That in the opinion of this
board of trade congress should imme-
diately provide for the issue of long
time gold bonds bearing not more

such emergencies, and particularly
the issue OF bonds now about to be
made.
RESOLVED, That copies of these reso-
buttons be forthwith transmitted to

tives in congress with the request that
