POSTAL MONEY ORDERS. Ell

Arrangements have been made with
the National banks of the city, whereby
post office money orders will be received
on deposit for collection, from regular de-
positors, the same as checks, instead of
being presented at the post office. This
Department and has been adopted in
nearly all the larger cities, where it has
been tested, with excellent results, and
given complete satisfaction. Business
men will undoubtedly see and appreciate
the advantages of the plan, its convent
ence, and the saving of time and trouble,
over the former method. 1t will only be
necessary to have the order properly re.
ceipted upon its face by the payee, the
same as for payment at post office. 1t is
believed that it will be found of great
advantage to our business houses and
they are respectfully advised to adopt it.

out to the carsmen to give way their
strongest.
1t was only matter of brief moments
now, although suspense always exagger-
ates the time of waiting on such occa-
sions. Rawlings, clasping the sodden form
OF the girl to him, more for the sake OF
the moral support which he guessed would
come to her out of his grasp than because
he reckoned the tenacious hold Of the life
buoy was not sufficient to keep her head
clear of the seething foam, perceived the
little boat approaching, vanishing and
reappearing like the moon behind driving
clouds as she rose and sank. Marian,
he exclaime huskily, they are coming.
We are saved. Then she let go her
and squeeze his hand, whilst again she
opened her large, blue eyes, whose lashes
sparkled with the crystal drops, and
smiled faintly-in his face.
'sMind how you lift the lady in, my
lads,'' said the voice Of the second officer,
close to their ears. THAT'S it, Now the
gentleman-take him under tie arms
sol All right boys; give way again!
The boats wake made q long semi-cir-
Gle upon the tumbling expanse as she
swept round and drove rapidly down
before the wind and sea towards the ship
which still lay hovete, waiting for her.
There arose a small outburst of cheering
from the crowd or people clustered upon
the poop as she came surging alongside.
for the story of Rawlings plucky action
had by this time gone fore and aft the
vessel Five minutes later the little craft
had been again hoisted to the davits, and
the rescued couple, shuddering and drip
ping, went to their cabins to dry and
change themselves. Several of the gen.
tlemen amonst the passengers had hand
somely placed their wardrobes at the dis
posal of Rawlings, who was consequently
in no lack OF fresh apparel.
"Well," remarked the commander to
a little knoU of people that stood near
him, when tho yards had been again
swung, and the great ship was once more
laundering along her course. tDr. Col
Inns, declares that it was the girls watch

which saved his life, and now he has

"The whole business, SO, far, has been
pretty romantic one," said Mr.. Brymer.
And, mark me, as to what the sequel
will be: unless it is discovered that the
man has already got wife living, when
his identity has been established. they
will marry one another as certainly as
that am now predicting it.'

The Coon Rapids Reporter says last
week "As yet no republican paper
has come 10 this Office containing the
party platform. Our brothers are eth
er ashamed of it or have orders to keep
it hid" We do not understand such a
statement. Evidently the editor of
the Reporter hasn't got his mail since
the Cedar Rapids convention was held
and is about as far behind the times
as his own party platform which he
publishes and which says "The army
of unemployed is growing larger. and

The trade reviews continue to report
unusually good things about the i'm.
proved condition of business in this
country. r. G.. Dun 81 Co. said Satur.
day that the commercial business fail
ures for the third quarter of the year
which ended with September was low.
er than for twenty three years, and
that the failures among manufactur.
ers was lower in average of liabilities
than in any previous year of which re.
cords exist. This report also says the
volume of business continues a little
larger than for the same month in 1892
which was big business wear, and
this in spite of lower price for most
grain within the last week owing to
better crop prospects and less foreign
demand.

The Dingley tariff law has raised

The Dingley tariff law has raised a
howl among two classes, set of tour
lists who go from here to Europe and
who think only London and Paris
clothing good enough for them, and
the London and Paris dealers who sell
to them. Now when the tourist re-
turns to this country if he has more
than one hundred dollars worth of
clothing he has to pay good healthy
tariff. The way those foreign dealers
and these foreign apes denounce the
American spirit of protection, is pleas
ant. If the tourists are so out of
joint with American doctrines, they
ought to stay in Europe. We notice
as another result of the Dingley bill
that while England is cursing it, sew
eral English capitalists are establish
ing branch manufacturing plants here.
