A joyful meeting between husband
and wife who had been separated for
nearly twenty years took place last Satur-
day at Vineland in this State. 1t was 10
1877 that John Byers left his wife in
Vineland aud started west in the hope of
making fortune. On arriving In Kan
sas, Byers contracted the gold fever and
pushed on to the Black Hills mining re-
gion. There he lost the thread of COM
munication with his wife, who was pining
for letter day after day. BY and by
she concluded her husband had met death
at the hands of the Indians, and almost
gave up hope.
In the meantime Byers was meeting
with failure after failure, until his hope
was almost crushed. The wife remained
faithful however, and to-day she is the
happiest woman in Vineland. Mr.. By
ers struck fortune at last and comes back
with sound physical health and we'll

1t il estimated that about 10000 horse
cars formerly in use on the street passen-
ger railways of this country have been
superseded by the trolley. Each of these
cars supplants eight horses, which would
eat.half bushel of oats per day. That
makes a difference of 10000 bushels OF
oats per day, or nearly $4,000, 900 bush
els.per ennum. Horses are so numerous
in Michigan and feed so scarce that the
owners are turning them out into the
highways with tags attached to their
necks which read, ''take me, am yours. "
1t is cheaper to give them away than Win

New Years morning. The fire was dis
covered about / o'clock and the alarm
given in town TO which the firemen quick

where the fire was it was decided TO be
useless TO take the apparatus there. Large
numbers OF people went 10 the scene Of

buildings were mass of flames. John
Sburts, employed by Mr.. Hill, was the
only man at home when the fire broke
out. He managed to save six horses out
of the seven in the barn, wagon, and
some small articles, hut everything else
was destroyed, including nearly two hun.
dred tons of hay, lot of wheat, potatoes,

timaied at about $4,000 The buildings
were partially insured. The origin OF
the fire Is unknown.

him. The man did not have much to say,
but handed the chief the money paid him

complaint. He then left town before 9TH

Four-fifths Of the pleas for 50 cent
dollar have been made up Of denuncia-
tions of the robber Rothschilds, who
were alleged to be fastening their gold
bug system on the world The belief
that that eminent banking firm had
bought up the American Congress and
thus brought about the crime of 1873 il
one Of the articles of faith among all
good Populists.
Now comes the sad news, from sil-
verite standpoint, that the wealth absorb
ing octopus has gone into the business
Of silver mining. United States Consular
Agent Keightly Of Newcastle, N. s. W.,
reports that the Rothschilds have &C.
Quired a large interest in one Of the
leading silver smelling works In Ans
tralia. These works are to treat the ore
from the famous Broken Hill mines and
will employ about 1, 600 men.
What will the worshipers Of the silver
pig say now? How can they denounce
the hated banking house which il en-
gagged in producing white metal7 OF
what use will 1t be to appeal to preju-
dice against the greedy Rothschilds when
it is known that those gold eaters have
taken to silver diet? No more can the
Populist artists find q theme for their
weird and wonderful cartoons in the
foreign bankers whose name has been
used to brighten naughty children. No
longer will the charge that the advocates
Of honest money are the Rothschilds'
paid agents serve to scare farmers into
voting for the silver standard. Gone Il
the last hope Of the sixteen to oners, and
busted is their campaign cry Of up
with cheap silver and down with the

''Sound money Is vital to our nation
