might say, consisting OF an old paste
pot, a whitewash brush, and grim
determination to succeed. But it is
needless to particularize further
only to state that all business inter-
ests in this little trade have pros
pered, and that no other community
OF business interests in the state
has better stood the test of the late
terrible depression, or come out of
it with fewer scars.
Now, what is the secret of this
high degree of prosperity enjoyed
by this particular town? Is it be-
cause rich and extensive territory
is tributary to it? No. the surround
ing country is mostly poor, and ON
one side it is within twelve miles Of
a wide-awake, hustling city, while
on the opposite side it is only three
miles from manufacturing town
larger than itself. 1t cannot be at
trlbuted to its manufacturing in
tcrests, for they are really below the
average for town of it's size. It
certainly has not been inflicted with
boom of any kind, for it has en-
Joyed for at least twenty years the
reputation of being one of the most
conservative little towns in all Mich
igan. The fact is, the key to the
whole matter is found in the fidelity
OF the citizens to all classes Of homo
interests. Every business man
sticks up for" his own town. The
shoe men buy their dry goods,
groceries, hardware, furniture
even jewelry--in fact, everything
they need-of their fellow business
men; and these, in turn, buy their
shoes at home. Two railroads con-
meet the town with the adjacent
city. but few bundles and parcels
come from there to the town. Tho
farmers in the surrounding country
find a good market for everything
they produce, and they have sense
enough to realize the fact that, by
buying all their supplies in their
own trade center, they not only
save time and expense, but buy as
cheaply and create market for
u vast amount of truck that would
otherwise perish on their hands, or,
what is more likely, would not be-
grown at all. The business men
pull tremendously together. as
shown by the fact that in the days
Of the old b. NJ. A. IS association in
this town included every business
man in the place, They pulled to-
gether and their association proved
i source of both profit and pleasure.
This town has always proved
barren field for street fakirs,
peddlers and itinerent cheap John
system OF every description. A dis
position to stand by each other and
. willingness to pull together for
mutual welfare and protection not
only secure prosperity to this com
but make it a most desira-
Die place in which to live and enjoy

Fidelity to home interests will
BRING about like results in any COM

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine
suited for any season, but perhaps
more generally needed when tho
languid, exhausted feeling prevails.
and when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need OF "a tonic and
alternative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the sys-
TEN from the malarial poison. Head

BAKED BANANAS AS FOOD.
Said to be Extremely Nutritive
for Body and Brain.

Bestow q boon on humanity anG
help to popularize the baked banana
as an article of food for rich and
poor, especially the poor, says
Crichton Campbell, in a letter to the
editor Of the New York Press.
No poor child need go to school
hungry. One cent will buy a good
sized banana, which, when baked in
its skin in an oven for Is or 70 min.
utes until it is quite soft and bursts
open, alone makes full meal. Now,
tie bananas sold at street corners
are really plantains. Humboldt
calculates the food product of the
plantain, compared with the potato,
as Al to /, and compared with wheat
as l33 to l. say from personal ex-
perience that three bananas weigh
ing one pound are equal in nourish-
ment to 26 pounds of bread when
baked. Bananas must never be
eaten raw; they are full of animal
germs and are productive of tape
worm.
Raw bananas are very indigestible.
Youngsters fed on raw bananas
nearly always suffer from diseases
of the intestinal canal and convul-
sions. Physicians call such children
banana babies. y
Baked bananas are also the ideal
food for nervous persons and
anaemics, also brain workers. l
learned their great power to sustain
mental effort in India. If Wall-st.
brokers and others who are under
great mental strain would on two
mornings every week include a
couple of baked bananas in their
menue and leave out the chop or
steak they would last longer. | am
as hard brain worker as any per-
son in New York and | have sub
sisted for years entirely ON baked
bananas. When / see lean, blood
poor persons, | advise them to eat
baked bananas, and they unfailingly
build up and gain flesh. The Latin
name of the plantain, musa
sapientum, signifies "of the wise. +"
This subject, which might not in
appropriately be called the Banana
Cure, because many illnesses can
be cured by eating baked bananas,
merits your closest investigation.
The introduction of the potato was
a great boon, spreading of the
knowledge of the above to the peo-
pie, but predict that the spreading
OF a knowledge of the above facts
over this country will prove of still
greater benefit.

CLUB AND READING ROOM.
Organized in This City Thursday y
Evening For the Benefit of
the Young Men.

A club was organized in this city
Thursday evening for the benefit of
the young men, the object being to
provide reading room, where all
members may spend pleasant
evening and have access to suitable
reading matter, such as books,
magazines, newspapers, etc. Var
ious amusements will also be pro-
vided. The rules, which are
strict, must be adhered to.
The organization will be known as
''The Club, .and the members will
meet at the Opera House, where a
large room has been engaged, and

tee on entertainment.
The club starts off with nearly
twenty-five members, and applica-

proper manner, and we
venture to say that the one just
organized will prove a success.

OFFICE SEEKERS PLIGHT.
Spent All His Money and is Arrested
for Embezzleme emit.
MAI. MOSES p. HANDY.

Washington. Sept. Amy young
man who goes to Washington in pur-
suit of job is fool
These are the words of Charles A.
Sherline, aged &c. labor agitator from
Ohio, who spent much money in the
hope of being appointed commissioner
of immigrat ion, and who is now on his
way back to Cleveland, charged with
embezzling $400 from building and
loan association in that city.
Sherline took an active interest in pol
itics last. fall, and 'stumped' Ohio for
the Republican ticket. He had an am
bition to be commissioner of immigra-
ton and was, it is said, Powderly's
strongest opponent. He spent all his
money and some which, it is charged,
was not his, waiting here for the office,
and was arrested in Baltimore for ent-
beZzlement.
In his voluntary statement to Ba1ti-
more detective, Sherline says he ives
urged by his friends to make the fight
for commissioner, and, as he had been
congressman and senators, he came to
Washington. He remained here a
month, and finding his money exhaust
ed he returned home. Again his friends
urged him on, and once more he return
ed to push his case. He raised money
by means of notes, and collected some
which he felt sure he could return when
the long expected appointment came
Half his fund was spent when Powder
1y received the coveted appointment.
Not yet despairing, Sherline spent the
rest of the money in an effort to get
a position in the office he believed
should have been his, and this, he
claims, he was about to get when he
was arrested. He hoped, he said, to
return the money when he got job. He
had pawned jewelry, clothing and near
ly all he possessed while here, as was
shown by pawn tickets.

TEXAS COTTON CROP.
Over Two Million Bales Estimated
Increased Acreage.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 2.-The Post will
issue the following in the morning:
Replies have been received from
over 300 correspondents, well scattered
throughout the state and covering more
than half the cotton production of the
state. From these answers it VIII be
seen that the large increase was neces-
sary for an average crop, as an average
of the damage done by the drought, ac-
cording to reports, makes it about %
per cent.
IF the drought had not come, accord
ing to the reports, the crop would have
been record breaker. Even as it is,
a careful summary of the replies will
indicate an increase over last year of
slightly over per cent, which must,
of course, be taken as the minimum, for
hardly any of the correspondents took a
top crop into consideration. Generally
the estimates for the coming season are
very conservative.
Estimating the crop of Texas for the
season just closed at 100000 bales, and
the increase at 90 per cent, the mimi
mum for the coming crop would be
Slightly more than 2, 500, 900 bales. With
a late frost, nearly all the correspond
ents in the drought region state that a
top crop will be made, only few aban-
doning it altogether, which will add ma
terially to the above figures.

ARK JEWELLERS RESTLESS.
Lynch and His Band of Sanctifca-

Norfolk, Va, Sept. "A deta chment
from the sanctified colony at Montrose
has located near Suffolk, and the good
old church people in that vicinity are
preparing to make things very warm
for the unwelcome visitors. Lynch and
his band, finding that they can do very
little PROSECUTING for their strange faith
so long as they keep to their arks down
on the Chowan river, have decided to
branch out, and they are sending mis-
sionaries into the surrounding country.
Since the bloody encounter between
the sanctifcationists and their out
ra ged neighbors some months ago, thera
has been little activity in the holiness
camp, but they are now becoming
holder. The North Carolina contingent
will probably desert their floating hab-
itation and return to this state, for
active steps are being taken to have the
authorities interfere and drive hem out.
A minister has asked Governor Russell
to send troops to dislodge them if neces-
Sary.

UNDERGROUND TROLLEY.
The New Device Will be Put in Oper-
alton in New York

New York. Sept. 2.-The Metropolitan
Street Railway company, operating 200
miles of road. will proceed to put in the
underground trolley system on all its
lines. Experiments have shown that
the new system can be operated sue
cessfully.
Once established, the new system IS
said to be much cheaper than the cable
and considerably less than the overhead
trolley. A rough estina tie of the cost
of introducing the underground system
in cities in which the conditions are
more favorable than in New York was
made by the engineer, who said that
the work might be done for 100000 a
mile.
The underground trolley, in general
appearance, differs but slightly from
the cable. There is the same sort of
slot arrangement between the tracks
and the power is caught up from the
wires in the conduit by drop CORE
spending to the overhead trolley pole.

MEDAL FOR SOUSA.
Gift of a Woman Who Has Attended

New York, Sept. 2.-When John Phil

haitian Beach last night to conduct his
concert, there glittered on his breast
a new decoration.

latest march On the reverse of the
medal are engraved the words, Long
Live the March King"
Mr.. Sousa's new decoration is the gift
of a New York woman, who has been
constant attendant at his concerts at
Manhattan Beach during the last five
years, and who took this method of
evidencing her admiration for his rnu-
sic.

JUST AS IN u. S.
Gold Conspiracy is Forcing Bus
mess Men Into Bankruptcy.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-The Evening
Post says that advices had been re-
ceived here to the effect that Enrique
Mathew, the well known banker and
promoter of several gigantic schemes in
Central America, has failed for over
5000, 000 His principal creditors are
said to be Europeans, but a San Fran
cisco firm is said to be a sufferer to
the extent of $180,000 While Matthews
assets are estimated at 81, 500,0 900, they
consist for the most part of property in
the vicinity of Guatemala, which can
not be disposed of for half their assess
ed value.
The cause assigned for the failure is
the heavy depreciation of silver and the
collapse of the real estate boom inau-
gurated by President Barrios several
Years ago.
