1ARTNsBuRd TO THE FRONT.

A gentleman from Germany, now
residing in Philadelphia, was in this
city few days ago and after thor
oughly inspecting the Kilbourne
Knitting Mill stated that to his GER
tain knowledge it was the most COM
plete hosiery mill in this country
and with the possible exception of
one at Chemnitz, Germany, the finest
in the world
That is something of which to
boast.
The Brooklyn Brass Works, soon to
be located here, has no superior in its
line.
The Auburn Wagon Works will ere
long rival the best establishments of
its kind.
The above are directly attribut-
able to efforts of the Loan and
Building and Business Mems Asso-
Citations.
Other industries are projected.
The town is permeated with the idea
of improvement. All are infected.
The ladies, bless them, are Just as
much interested and as earnest as
the men. Boys and girls earning but
two or three dollars a week are carry
ing one, two, three, or FIVE shares in
the building association-are laying
the foundation of their own fortunes.
and are at the same time helping
to add to the material prosperity of the
city. Such an unanimity of effort
must win. Failure is impossible
when all unite in one supreme,
energetic movement of this charac-
ter. Opposition dares not show its
face. Pnsh and vim and energy are
irresistible. We possess all these
characteristics.
Then, again, we are surrounded by
Que of the finest farming regions in
the world. 1t is only necessary to
tickle the soil and crop will joyously
spring forth Nowhere can finer corn
wheat, potatoes, or fruit of every va
riety be produced. Nowhere are
springs of purer water, than here.
Gushing forth exhaustible in quaint
ty and unexcelled in quality the life
giving fluid almost entirely banishes
disease, and the pure ozone of oui
atmosphere imparts renewed vigor to
! the tired anatomy ofthose who have re-
sided in less favored localities.
With all of these natural advan-
tages, with people imbued with the
fevivifed spirit of improvement and
progress the future looks decidedly
rosy.
Better times are coming. The
voice of the croaker is heard no more.
Slothfulness and indifference, if not
already dead, will soon be in their
collins and buried too deep for resur-
rection.
Those who have been wont to call
this slow old town will wake up one
of these mornings to find their occu-
patton gone, Neighboring towns
which have sneered at us are already
looking on with dismay. They re-
alize that they have competitor who
is to be feared; that they must be up
and doing else they will be left be-
hind. They know of our natural adj
vantages and are convinced that they
will not be in the race unless they
can check us at once. Can they doso'
The Herald thinks not.

AS the matter stands it is a ques-
tion of veracity between Morgan and
Cleveland, and the Herald does not
believe Morgan lies about it.-Herald.
Well we are surprised to hear that
you do not. We never knew before
that the Herald could think a Demo
crat either honestor truthful. States
man.
How is it when both are Democrats
as in this case? One charges theother
with having uttered falsehoods. It
was only a case of which one, and as
the Herald chooses to believe one
rather thar the other there is no
foundation for the charge that the
Herald could not think a Democrat
either truthful or honest. Why, we
have even known the editor of the
Statesman to sometimes tell the
truth.

Stop talking hard times. Themore
you talk the harder they will get.
Talk and think the other way, and
they will get better right away. Try
it.-Herald.
This is preaching one thing and
practiciug another. Before the last
Congressional election the Herald was
boss calamity bowler of the Second
District, but as soon as the Republi-
can Congress meets the Herald wishes
the calamity wall to cease and coun-
sells patience. Talk and think"

in, but war, pestilence, famine and
starvation when the Democrats are in

and living cheaper than ever before.

1t is passing strange how the truth
will out sometimes. "War, pesti-
lence, famine, and starvation when
the Democrats are in" is most per.
tinently put. If all these are con.
comitants of Democracy, the worst
thing Republican can utter during
such a period is anything else than
calamity bowling Hence, the charge

WASHINGTON, Jan. General Philip
Sidney Post, member Of Congress from the
Tenth District of Illinois, died at the Hail
ton Hotel in this city this morning after
an illness of but enc day. His death was
from heart failure, resulting in acute gas
trilis. For some time past he had been
suffering at intervals with attacks which
physicians pronounced dys, epSia, but he
attended to his duties unremittinglY. He
passed the holiday at his home in Illinois
and reached Washington last Wednesday.
Early Saturday morning he was seized
with an attack OF his old trouble, which
did not, however. assume a serious form
until evening. During the night heart
failure set 10, and for several hours before
his death, which occurred at 4;30 o'clock
this morning, the physicians could detect
hardly any pu.seDeat

another That was in the case of The
People ex. rel. Weeks VS.. Jones, 20 Cal,

number of other authorities.
ut is therefore the duty of Mr.. Haley to
hold on to the office and prevent psoI lie
from securing any reward whatever from
the frauds perpetrated for the benefit of
Curry.
"If in the present contest the recount
should show that Haley is not in fact
elected he will gracefully retire. But if he
retires now and Curry becomes installed
in Office our appeal may stay proceedings
and the appeal may not be determined
during the official term of the County
Clerk.
In the meantime If Curry and bis
deputies fill the County Clerks Office they
will during The term or until the final de-
termination of the appeal receive the
salaries payable TO the principal and SUBJ
ordinates.

BOLD CROOKS CAUGHT.
They Made Good HaulS at the
Omaha Hotels.
Among Those Robbed Was Eugen
Sandow, Who Lost a Valuable
Watch.

OMAHA. Jan. 6.-James Griffin. Will
liam O'Bren and William Beck. Eastern
crooks who succeeded in getting away
with valuables to the amount of $4,000 be-
logging to the guests of tbs Paxton and
Mlllard hotels, were crested to-day. The
robbery occurred on Friday night. but the
vaIuabIes were not missed until yesterday.
The goods stolen from the Paxton
amounted to $500 or $500, the loss being d.
vided between a half-doZeu different
guests.
At the Willard Eugen Sandow was the
only victim reported to have lost anything.
but his loss was heavier than the others
com bined. His heaviest loss was a gold
watch set with diamonds. which was pre-
sented to him before he came to this coun.
try and which he valued at $500. He also
lost 500 in cash.
The only clew obtained of the robbers
was at the Willard, where two strangers
had come in late and registered, paying
for their room in advance. These men
made their disappearance early in the
morning. Sandow. who left for ST. Paul
last evening, claimed that he had locked
his door before going 10 bed, but he had
found it unlocked when he got up yester-
day morning.
AT O'Clock this morning the police
rounded the crooks up. They were all
armed, but the officers got the drop. They
submitted quietly, but at the station made
desperate effort 70 escape. and = he
entire office force was invnlved-in fight
with them before they could be locked up.

LONDON MONEY MARKET.
Prices Have Undoubtedly Advanced
Considerably.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The review of the
year at the Stock Exchange shows that on
the whole, with the excep ion of The values
of securities of defaulting South American
Governments and American railway Sc
curities, prices distinctly advanced. The
latest prices were generally tile highest of
the year, while all first. class stocks are so
high that the return to investors at present
value is exceedingly small.
During the week the markets were fairly
buoyant and active. The Paris settlement
caused heavy real cations in the mining
market and a consequent decliue in values,
but the inactivity was unimpaired. Argen-
tine securities were depressed. No rescue
of the market for American securities from
the existing stagnation is looked for until
the currency problem Is solved. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the coming year will
show an improvement. Central Pacific
declined a. Small and fractional declines
were made in the others.

against C. F. Curry. the Republican
candidate.
Early yesterday morning Haley was in
formed that Curry was going 10 seize the
Office by violence, that fifty of his deputies
were prepared to smash the doors at mid
night and take possession of the desks and
records, and be swoTe that before be would
part from the position 10 which he be-
leves himself legally entitled blood would
be spilled.
So Haley spent the holy Sabbath in his
office, and with him were twenty-five of
his deputies, prepared to do battle for the
rights of their chief.
Curry's waTlike retainers held two meet
ings during the afternoon and one in the
evening. but what PREPARATIONS they made
for the impending conflict was kept pro-
found secret.
Night came and the lights were 1T in the
great room where Haley and his faithful
men were on guard. Attorney Matthew
Sullivan was with the County Clerk ready
to fire an opinion at The invading host.
At midnight. it was said. Cnrry's men,
fifty in number, would appear. Thin
'wi;ching hour" came and found Haley
L
doors were locked and one lone gaslight
was Pickering III the gloomy corridor out
side.
-twice-thrice-the glass door was
ratified by . determined hand. Haley
waited a moment and responded, delighted
to find that tile invaders were Patrolmen
Cavanaugh, Kavauaugh and Dugan, three
of the most stalwart members of the
force.
They had come to give aid TO the be-
leaguered. and they were right royalty well
coined. Alter inspecting the interior, and
the deputies intrenched behind their desks,
the faithful three passed outside and took
up stations near the door prep red to pre-
vent violence and drive off the followers
of Curry If they presumed to make any
unlawful monsration.
Up and down the big corridor the three
guardsmen paced while the nervous clerE
and his chosen men held their vigil inside,
but as the hours passed DO one appeared
to do battle with those who were within
or without, aud Haley and his men settled
down to hold the fort until morning.
So all night long the lights burned in
two wings of the City hall, in the County
Clerks Office, where the INCUMBENT was
holding the fort, and in the Registrar
office. where men stood guard over he
vaults filed with election returns stuffed
with figures tina; lie.
Haley declares that be will not stir from
:he office until he is ousted by quo war
rapto proceedings.
He WAS in close consultation with hi:
attorney Matthew Sullivan, yesterday,
aud that was the result Of their deiibera'
tions.
HE was the choice of the Democratic
party. although bitterly opposed in the
convention by the followers of Buckley
and Rainey. who knew that they could not
run his Office If be should he reelected"
When the election boards were appointed
he had no voice in the matter, and in that
regard was entirely at the mercy of bis
enemies.
Ever since the morning OF the election
he has been satisfied that he was the
