BRICE'S PET SCHEME.
SURVEY BEGAN FOR A CON
MEETING LINE IN MICHI-
GAN.
Giving the Lima Northern Outlet
by the c., j. Il M. -Brice's
Three Roads to be Con-
sOIidated.

Through his representatives in this city
to day Brice took the last steps towards COM
pleting railroad connecting the jackson
coal fi.ds with northern and western Michi-
gan.
To-day the chief engineer of the c., J. &
M. was ordered to survey line from Hud-
son, Mich, on o., j. q NJ. to point on the
Lima Northern near Adrian, Mich.
AS soon as the lines are surveyed, work
will begin the new line, and it will be push
ed as fast as the weather will premit. As
the line will not be over seven or eight miles
in length, it is expected to be ready for
operation in few months.
By consulting railroad map, it will be
seen that Brice will then have the following
lines: Ohio Southern, Lima Northern and
the O., j. q M. forming one of the best lines
in existence from the very heart of the Ohio
coal fields to Michigan.
This movement, coming right on the heels
of an effort to get the O., J. u M. out of the
bands of areceiVer, would seem to indicate
that the Senator intends to consolidate the
q, ). & NJ, Ohio Southern and Lima
Northern.

and he not only confirmed the story, but
added that other improvement would follow
soon. .-Bldde

General A. =. Warner Says the Battle
Against Gold Has Not Ended.
Washington, Nov. S.-The campaign
for the free coinage of silver will be
waged with vigor during the next four
years, in preparation for the election in
1900. The directors of the American
Bimetallic union, who constitute the
bulk of the silver leaders in three part
les, have decided to maintain head
quarters in this city, from which to
lend out literature.
The branch Office at Chicago will be
consolidated with the Washington Of
fee, but the San Francisco branch is to
be continued. At the request of the
directors, General A. j. Warner, the
president of the union, has issued the
following address to the silver leagues
and bimetallic unions of the United
States:
Silver has lost in this election, but
the battle for the overthrow of the gold
standard has not ended. The disastrous
consequences that attend on the con.
tinuance Of this standard make it i'm
possible to relinquish the struggle.
against it until it is finally overthrown.
"Thesgold standard cannot be main
tanned by increasing revenues. The at
tempt to maintain the gold standard
by perpetual loans must also sooner or
later fail. The only other way is by
contracting the currency and forcing
down prices SO low that gold will come
here of itself in such quantities as to
constitute, in part at least, the currency
with which revenues are paid, and no
debtor nation can long maintain such a
policy.

ing this and that instance of pros.
perity it is as mum as an oyster re-
garding the wholesale reduction OF
wages which is going on all over the

way reduced the wages of the section
men 10 per cent, and the G. H. 81 ID.

temus, KY, reduced the wages of its
entry miners 25 per cent! These
men all voted for Mckinley and high

HABITS.
Some Have Them and Others are
Not Without.

A man likes some hot drink for
breakfast and coffee suits his taste
about as we'll as anything. 1t seems
hard that so many should be denied
coffee because it upsets their liver
and disagrees with them in one way
and another, still this condition does
exist, and when man finds it hurts
him, he is generally sensible enough
to leave it out of his bill of fare, for it
is quite a bit pleasanter to feel well
all day than to enjoy drug two or
three minutes and pay for it in aches
and ails or sickness.
A new breakfast drink has come
into use, difficult to tell from coffee,
but made entirely of grains and
which never produces any disagree
able results. 1t has the clean, pun
gent flavor SO much enjoyed in coffee,
but while coffee hurts the system
Postum Cereal goes to work in down

intended by nature for mans subsis-

and prepared in such a way as to pro-

Mocha or Java coffee, but fattening
and healthful. Stomach, liver and
bowel troubles disappear when coffee
and tea are left off and the food
drink, Postum, taken in their place.
This toothsome drink goes about
three times as far as coffee, and pro-
duces health and comfort where
trouble formerly existed. 1t is made
by the Pos tum Cereal Co., Linn, of
Battle Creek, Mich. When a man or
woman feels mean" day after day
or every few days, it can quite sa. ely
be charged to incorrect habits, and
coffee and tea drinking are the real
cause of more bodily disorder than
any one knows. A habit is hard to
get over, but when delicious tast-
ing article is offered which produces
health instead of tearing it down, the
change is easy to make. Prominent
grocers say it exactly meets d want,
and persons who have been kept
from coffee on account of their health
are now having all the enjoyment of
coffee drinking and getting fat over
it.

President Cleveland Issues the
Usual Thanksgiving Proc
lamatiOn.
Thursday, November Goth, Is
Selected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The follow
ing proclamation has been issued by
the president:
by the President of the United
States The people of the United
States should never be unmindful of
the gratitude they owe the God of
nations for His watchful care
which has shielded them from
dire disaster and pointed out to them
the way of peace and happiness
Nor should they ever refuse to ack-
nowledge with contrite hearts their
proneness to turn away from Gods
teachings and to follow with sinful
pride after their own devices. To
the end that these thoughts may be
quickened, it is fitting that on day
especially appointed we should join
together in approaching the throne
of grace with praise and supplica-
tion.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 26th day of the pres
ent month of November to be kept
and observed as a day of thanksgiv
ing and prayer throughout our land.
On that day let every people forego
their usual work and occupation
and assemble in their accustomed
places of worship, let them with one
accord render thanks to the Ruler of
the universe for our preservation as
a nation and our deliverance from
threatened danger; for the peace
that has dwelt within our bound
aries; for our defense against disease
and pestilence during the year that
has passed; for the plenteous re-
wards that have followed the labors
of our husbandmen, and for all the
other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to US. And let us, through
the meditation of Him who has
taught us how to pray implore
the forgiveness of our sins and a
continuation of Heavenly favor. Let
us not forget on this day of thanks
giving the poor and needy; and by
deeds of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable In
the sight of the Lord.
"Witness my hand and the seal Of
the United States which have
caused to be hereunto affixed.

THE Democrats can extract many
grains of comfort out of the fact that
when Illinois went Republican, both
branches of the Legislature were lost
to the Democracy, which means that
the traitor, John NJ. Palmer, will lose
his seat in the United States Senate.
The Democrats do not want such a
Representative in the U. s. Senate,
and the Republicans will not elect
him because they have candidates of
their own, who will take great pleas
ure in kicking Palmer out.
