FREE TO EVERY MAN,


The Method Of GREAT Treatment for Weak

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man Is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebodings

pain. There Is no let up to the mental
suffering day or night. Sleep is almost

Persons should be very careful how they
circulate reports about the affairs of those
they know nothing about. Gossip mon
gers are the worst kind of people to have
In any community, The spreading of
false reports about men in business only
can have one end in view by those who
tsttle and that is that their idle rumors
may become realities. For several days
past the gossip has been going the rounds
OF our city, reporting first this and then
that merchant doing business on Market
street had failed. 1t is easier to tear down
than build lfp the credit of an establish
ment at any time and during these hard
times that we are passing through, it is
criminal act upon tho part Of those who
persist in circulating these falSa rumors
A representative Of the REPUBLICAN ran
down the rumur and called upon those
whose names had been mentioned as fail
ing or going to fail. In every instance he
was perfectly satisfied that the rumors
were untrue and malicious. But such re-
ports, If circulated about some other mer-

their bills might bring on them their
creditors all at one time, which would
force them to the wall The worst of the
failure of the wholesale grocery firm of
Quigley & Mullen has been felt in our city
amongst the corner groceries, and has
been very disastrous to over a dozen firms
but, thank goodness, we have seen the
end.
By sailing close to the wind and econ.
omizing until the hard times blow over,
there Is new no reason that any more iner-
chants should be forced to close their doors
The outlook in our large shops is better
than 1t has been for four years, or
since Cleveend and his free trade crowd
took possession Of the affairs of tho Unit
ed States They have rum it, as they deem
cd 1t should be run. They have given Us
the Wilson German hybrid bill, and
what has been the result. Bankruptcy
all over the country and big terms of Of
flee for the sheriff aud plenty of work for
lawyers In issuing writs to close up those
who have been less fortunate than their
neighbers in business. The free trade
Democrats nre responsible for tho present
state Of business all over the country
The policy of protection was substituted
for THAT Of free trade. The present hard
times have been blamed on the Republican
administration, but it is in no way aG-
countable for 1t. The blame should be
placed where 1t belongs

Killing Whales by Electricity.

It appears that electricity IS now to
be used for the purpose of killing
whales. A dynamo, with power-pro-
ducing apparatus, is to be placed on a
whaler, and not used until the whaling
grounds are reached. On board there
is to be placed big reel of insulated
wire, which is to be placed in a boat
when a whale is sighted. One of the
wires is connected with the dynamo,
and at the other end, which will be in
boat, will be a hard rubber stick
four feet long. The wire is carried
through the rubber stick, and is at
tached to a long piece of metal twenty
four inches long and one inch in di-
ameter. This metal rod is sharp at the
end, SO as To penetrate the flesh of the
whale easily The combined rubber
and metal rods will be used just as a
harpoon is now used, and when near
the big fish the harpooner will throw
the electric barb. At the time Of strik-
ing there will be a current of 10000
volts running through the wire. When
the point Of the needle strikes the
whale, a current connection will be
formed with the dynamo, the whale
will get the full shock Of the high volt
age, and will be dead in the fraction of
a second. At least this is the calcula-
tion of the enterprising Captain of the
whaler.-Boston Journal of Commerce.
