A ROCK PILE FOR TRAMPs.

There is hardly day when there
are not one or more tramps in town
visiting private houses and begging.
Charitably disposed people do not
like to send a man away from their
door empty handed who asks for food
if he really needs it, neither do they
like to be imposed bpon by men who
ask for what they do not need. And
in either case it is an annoyance from
which they would be glad to have
relief
Why wouldn't it be a good idea to
have a city rock pile where these men
could be employed at the expense Of
the city long enough for their real
and immediate wants to be supplied
If this rock pile were provided il
should then be understood that when
tramp applied to any private citizen
for relief he should be informed thai
by calling on the city marshal he
would be supplied with work where
by he could earn the meal that ht
asked for. The expense to the city
would be small, for the chances are
that very few "Wandering Willies'
would stop here after this system was
found to be in full force and effect
And we are very sure that every ta2
payer would be very glad to contri'
butte his share of the increased bur
den, if there should be any, for the
sake of being relieved of the annoy
ance to which all are now subjected
So far as tramps themselves are con-
cerned, those who are honest and who
are on the road from necessity and
not from choice would be glad tc
work instead of begging, while the
other kind would soon learn to give
the town a wide berth. Id Other
words this plan would protect oul
citizens from imposition and would a.
the same time supply the wants o
every man who really needed anc
deserved help.
We trust that the city council viii
give the suggestion their early anc
careful consideration

As THE ENGLISH SEE 1T.

London England Standard:
When the barriers of McKinleyism
were partially demolished, goods
rushed in from abroad to fill up the
empty spaces in the home markets
of the Republic. Our wooden manu-
facturers, in particular, benefited by
this change, as the trade and navi-
cation returns of the United King
dom very clearly exhibit. For the
eleven months of 1895 for which we
have the figures, the United States
have taken nearly six millions sterl-
ing thirty million dOllars) worth of
wooden and worsted tissues from US,
as compared with less than a. million
and half's (seven and half million
dollars) worth last year, and not
much more than two and a quarter
million twelve and a quarter million
dollar worth the year before. A gap
produced by the long suspense of the
tariff question had to be filled up, and
the enlarged market opened by the
reduced tariff further increased the
buying. To less extent the same
phenomena were discernible else
where, and the very time when the
States were finding the markets for
their own productions restricted or
improbable abroad, they saw foreign
goods pouring in upon them in an
augmenting volume. They therefore
had more to pay and less to receive,
and, as they also owed a great deal
of money abroad, their foreign ex-
change market became permanently
adverse. Shipments of gold to Eu-
rope were soon the order of the day
to such an extent that the Govern
ment of Mr.. Cleveland has had to
intervene three times within two
years, by selling interest bearing
bonds, in order to replenish the
stock of gold IN the public Treasury.

WHAT IT MEANS.

The fact that the name of the editor
of this paper appears in the Topeka
Capital as one of the COMMITTEE of
Fifty" appointed by the State Temp
erance Union for the purpose of
strengthening prohibition in this
State, does not mean, as some appear
to have construed it, that we are to
undertake personally to see to it that
the prohibitOry law is enforced in this
county. We are quite as busy now as
we have time to be. 1t does mean,
however, that we still believe, as we
have always believed, IN the principle
and the policy prohibition, and that
as loyal American citizen we believe
that every law on the statute books
should be enforced. We were asked
by the State Temperance Union to
stand as the representative of that
sentiment in Allen county, and we
certainly could not decline to permit
whatever influence we might have to
be used in support of good govern
ment and good morals, and in defense
of the laws of the land.

WINTER is BERE.
Bringing With it Catarrhal Diseases of
All Kinds.

Winter is half over. People are
continuing to catch colds, and not q
house but hears the winter cough.
People are trying to get something to
cure these troubles, which are almost
inevitable at this time of the year. 1t
can safely be said that nine-tenths of
the people in the United States have
a cold sometime during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre-
vent colds and coughs and cure them
with certainty when they are con-
tracted. This remedy is Pe-ru-na.
Taken with regularity during the
winter months, it will entirely pre-
vent coughs, colds, lagrippe, consump-
ton, bronchitis or pneumonia. 1t
will also cure without failure catarrh
and recent cases of consumption, and
often in advanced stages.
Everybody should have the 64-page
book on catarrh and winter diseases
which Is being sent free by the Peru
ma Drug manufacturing company of
Columbus, Ohio.

thought that to endorse Ingalls, was
going far enough, and it laid the Nor

SOME LATE POLITICAL NEWS.

John Bacon, of Marmston, told us
Tuesday that he would be candidate
before the Republican convention for
the office of Clerk of the District
Court. He said that he would have a
Marmaton competitor in the person OF
James Armstrong, and that he under
stood that Lawson Afford, of Cottage
Grove, would also be candidate fol
this office. We have heard since,
however, that Mr.. Afford would be q
candidate for Superintendent, and
this is more likely since he is teacher
by profession. Mr.. Fogleman, prin'
cipal of the Moran schools, is mention.
ed lately as candidate for Superi1.

authority. All of these young men

Died: At his home in lola at S:25 a.
m. Tuesday, March 8, 1896, L.. h..
Northrup, in the nth year OF his age.
l.. l.. Northrup was born at Gen.
oese, n. Y, April II, 1919. When he
was about two years old his mother
died and he was taken to the home of
an uncle living at Elmyra, n. Y, by
whom he was brought up. His school
ing was only such as the very indlf-
ferent common schools of the time
afforded, and was therefore limited.
AS he approached manhood he was
put to learn the wooden manufacture
ing trade, and in 1910 he had saved
enough out of his wages to be able to
engage in it on his own account, at
the town of Albion, n. Y. In 1916,
after having been engaged in business
for six years. his factory was burned
and he removed to Lafayette, Ind,
where he remained for two years, re-
moving then to ThorntOwn, Ind,
where he again engaged in the manu-
facture of wooden goods. In 1858, at
the earnest solicitation of the Union
Settlement Company, which had
bought large body of land in Allen
county and had laid out the town of
Geneva, he sold his factory at Thorn
town and moved to Kansas, bringing
with him a stock of merchandise and
saw mill, and located at what was
expected to be the city of Geneva.
When lola was laid out, a year later,
He established branch store there.
He removed with his family to lola in
1862, and this has been his home ever
since. 1t was not until 1869, how
ever, that he closed out his store at
Geneva and concentrated all his in
terests in lola. Up to this time he
been engaged only in general mer-
chandizing, but in 1869 he established
the bank which he has ever since
owned and which has been so i'm
portant a factor in the business life
of the town. In 1877 he prac-
tically turned the business of the
store over to his oldest son, o. p,
Northrup, who managed it with
marked ability and success until fail
ing health compelled him to give ur
his place to his youngers brother in
whose name it has ever since beer
conducted. After leaving the store
Mr.. Northrup gave his entire atten
ton to the bank and to his large land
ed and other outside interests, contin
uing until overtaken by his last ILL
ness, with marvellous industry and
activity, to look after the least details
of great and always growing bust
ness.
Mr.. Northrup was married Febru'
airy %, 1S49, to Miss Mary E. Pearce
at Thorntown, Ind, who survives
him. Eight children have been born
of this union, of whom three, F. A.
D. P, and Lewis L., are now living
Ofhis three brothers, Gilbert died al
Geneva abont 1868, Ezra died al
Ripon, Wis, several years ago, and
the third has not been heard of since
the war. Mr. NorthrHp knew but
little of his father, and did not ever
know when he died, but thought il
was about 1850.
The deceased united with the Pres.
byterian church about 1854 and hai
been faithful and consistent member
ever since.

The foregoing is brief sketch of a
busy, eventfuI and successful life. 1t
is the story of boy born in poverty
and obscurity. orphaned in infancy,
thrown upon the world with meager
education and with no capital but his
own brains and skill and industry
and character, fighting his way step
by step until he had amassed large,
if not a great fortune. And this for
tune was not made by any sudden or
unworked for stroke of "luck," or by
some fortunate speculation. 1t was ac-
cumulated slowly and as the result of
economy, good judgment, and tireless
industry. And it was an honest for
tune. During his lifetime Mr.. North.
rup had many critics; that is the pen
atty of success. But now that he is
dead we do not believe there is a man
who will say that he ever exacted q
penny beyond what he believed to be
his due. He made mistakes, as al
men do, but he made them as often
against himself as in his favor. a
man who is in the business of lending
money must often be made the object
of bitter complaint from those who
borrow; but we never heard Mr.. Nor.
thrup accused of grinding the faces
of the poor" or of imposing harsh and
cruel conditions upon his debtors.
Mr.. Northrup was intensely Loyal
to his town and was always counted

The condition of the patient has
been critical for so long that the an
nouncement of the death was not I'M
expected, but it was received on the
street with universal expressions of
sorrow and regret. Mr.. Northrup
has been a familiar figure on our
streets for so many, many years, and
has been so large factor in the bust
ness life of the town, that it will seem
strange for long time to have him
no longer here. The sympathy of the
community will go out in full meas
ure to the sorrowing family, and es-
pecially to the grief-stricken widow
to whom he was for half century a
faithful and devoted husband.
