A neat card has been issued by the

containing a cut of the new steel car
ferry and reading that it Is to be IN oper-
tor about Dec. 10 between Manitowoc
and Ludington. It gives the dimensions
of the boat and brief description Of her
machinery. Her speed is to be - miles
per hour and her capacity is 80 cars. It
also states she Is to have a cabin and
staterooms for passengers. This latter
fact is quite an important item for Mani
towoc, as the passenger travel across the
lake is sure to be considerable. If the
boat can make is miles per Eour the
question of two trips a day becomes a
certainty and schedule time for passeng-
ers a sure thing.

The County Board has had not much
more than routine business to attend 20
this year The committees have been
active in scrutinizing every DILL and have
not, as far as they know, allowed an IN
fair charge to be made. The plan adopted
at the spring session for the caring of
tramps has lessened the expense in this
direction considerably.
1t is probable the Board will authorize
the trustees of the insane asylum to make
additional purchases of real estate. The
asylum has earned enough to make the
purchase contemplated. On Tuesday the
Board asked for statement of the cost
thus for incurred in the trial of L. c.
Shove. The taxes for the year will be
about the same as for the preceding year
The state tax is about $1,000 less than for
/ last year, but there is an increase in
county taxes. The assessment committee
made its report on Tuesday morning.

The death of Miss Kit Thornton, which
occurred Nov. 10, was one CT the saddest
to be recorded in the history Of Clarks
Mills. After few weeks of illness, Miss
Thornton fell victim to bronchitis.
Though yonng lady of twenty three
years, she, by her kindness gertlllty and
noble character, had won host of true
friends, as was demonstrated by the large
number that followed her remains TO the
cemetery.
During the last days of her illness,
which she bore with fortitude and pa
thence, she conversed freely and with
courage She expressed a desire to see her
friends and take last leave of them.
Miss Thornton was a member of St Mary's
church, and a beautiful example of what
a christian should be.
Her associates and friends realize that
there is a vacant place among them that
can never be filled. We extend our heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family.
You do not mourn your loss alone.

HE improvements gong on IN this

which farmers are interested are the i'm

roads were the terror of all farmers who
had to travel over them. Work on Main
street is already in progress and soon it

New York, Nov. 20.--R. @. Dun &

The gain in volume OF business con

have increased working force, making
600 concerns which are known to have
added largely 20 the number Of hands

Krent Increase In the volume of business
and the clearing house exchanges for the
first time in several years, not only ex-
ceed those Of last year 10y 10 per cent,
but also exceed those Of the same week
in 1892 by per cent. Business men are
all anxious TO prevent anything like the
fictitious excitement of last summer, and
In nearly all branches an excessive rise
ia prices IL prevented. But with more
hands at work there is inevitably great
or demand for supplies, materials and
productions. The speculative markets
have been re-acting which is natural.
Wheat had risen with unusual rapidity.
Cotton has declined from 8 to 1862 cents
In spite of the starting of many cotton
mills and the controlling fact for the
month is the report of n yield smaller
than 100000 bales which is now en-
tirely dscredited. The export demand
does not abate, although temporarily
checked, while prices were above cents
and the increase of $9,400O00 in value
of cotton exported in October contribut-
ed more than any other single item to
make the aggregate exceed that of the
same month in any previous year. In
spite OF heavy payments on loans abroad
the movement of gold this way would
undoubtedly be resumed if foreign buy
ing of American securities should set in
this way.
