From Elma Chronicle:
Mrs. Daniel Gilies came up from her
home at Aberdeen, Thursday, to visit
with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Gillies, and
other Elma friends.
The scow taking the donkey engine and
supplies from Aberdeen to Dan Gillies'
new logging camp, Wednesday evening,
struck snag and was swamped. The
engine and most OF the other things will
be recovered, and the loss, we hope, will
be light.

Touched Bateman Deeply

The other day Gen. Russell A. Alger, who.
is to be Major McKinIey's Secretary OF
War, was asked at Canton if his relations
with Senator Sherman were all right
I'VE are good friends now said the
general, We shall get along pleasantly
as fellow Cabinet officers
Everybody viii doubtless he glad To know
that the two distinguished Republicans VINO
are to sit by the Mckinley mahogany for
four years have at last effected "a recon-
ciliation. Their estFangement lasted from
1884 until about ten weeks ago, when
Gen. AIger came mere To make up with
Senator Sherman.
The story about the trouble etween
Sherman and Alger has often been told
Briefly, Gen. Alger's agents made tnroads.
on Senator Sherman's coIored delegates.
In other words, delegates who had
promised to support the Senator, ON
showdown, voted for Gen. Aiger.
At the convention OF 1887 Arthur E
Bateman, a banker OF this city and after
wards a New York banker, had charge of
the financial end of the Sherman boom
Colored delegates were treated powerful

Bateman for money and got it. Sometimes
he would say he needed funds to help
along a struggling church and at others
he would demand It On the simple ground
that he was delegate. One cay he called
and was in the act of making hot
touch when ex-senator Powell Clayton

Bateman and said;

Thomas TowIes' Death.

TOwleS died. That is certain. And it
was said that he died suicide, ilnpelled
TO the rash act by the effects Of LIQUOR
But that is not a fact; for, as the coroner
says, he died OF natural causes And it
was also said that the unfortunate Togles
shuffled off this mortal coil in the saloon
Of one OF the Bushs, doing business on
Tenth street, but, in truth, this is not the
truth, for the unfortunate Towles died in
his own bed in his own room, when end
under what circumstances the Lord only
knows
He had just gone through an awful
experience of exposure to harsh weather,
and OF hunger and WEAKNESS. He had
been working for the government at Fort
Washington, where, during the blizzard
he did not get Covering enough at night,
nor-so it is said-food enough at any
time. And SO he trudgcd up to Washing
ton here, footsore, hungry and halffrozen;
and-reaIly, this is fact-he did find
warmth and comfort for q few moments in
Henry Bush saloon, where he was kindly
treated; for-this, too, is a fact-men Hk e
Towles cannot often find anything desr-
able in Church or charitable society, the
one crying aloud against evil, and the other
exaIting itself for its kind acts
But Towies did not die in the saloon
He was alive and well and sober when he
left it, and he died in his own bed, and
may he sleep well!

Hints ON Advertising

Never run an ad. that the other fellow
thinks. mighty good"
Do good advertising. Like yeast, it will
make your business rise.
Talk is cheap, but good advertising costs
money, but brings results
Illustrate your ads. They are bright rays
Of sunshine to all advertising.
Shane your ais TO every emergency which
changing times are throwing in your face.
Don't be afraid your ads will be too plain.
Plain English are the ads that catch buyers.
If you can write an ad that will make
a buyer purchase goods after reading it,
the ad is good.
Never advertise fresh goods below cost.
The reader may think of going around with
the fool killer.
If you have a good all, offering a good
article for SALE and place it in good
medium, you are sure of success
Prosperity goes hand in hand with pro-
gress. 1t takes advertising to make pros
perty and progress thorough.
Never occupy a newspaper space with a
worthless adj lisa loss of money. A good
ad costs no more, but the results bring more
cash to you.
Better pay a man with knowledge about
and be doubling all the time if that your ad
was not properly prepared was the reason
it failed to bring trade. Newspaper Ink.

short Cuban Puffs These.
tFrom the Philadelphia Press. }

The Cuban tobacco yield the past year
has been 75 900 bales, instead of 500 900
bales, the yield the year before. The
sugar crop has been reduced To one-feurth
of it's former size. and will be smaller
during the cunning year. These figures are
a fair measure OF the territory overrun or
occupied by the insurgents Most of the
tobacco is grown in Pinar del Rio, and
there nearly nine-tenthS OF the planta tons
have been laid waste OF the sugar plan
tations three-quarters were unable to
grind sugar. Six weeks ago the Spanish
forces seemed to be accomplishing some
thing They are no longer. They have
been unable to complete their work in
Pinar del Rio, and in all the rest of the
island the insurgent forces are more Sue
cessful than ever.

Seen and Heard in Old Kaintuck

Probably the wealthiest saloonist In
central Kentucky is Pat Grady, of Rich
mond, who pays taxes on $21 40, says
the Register.
a man at Madison traded a butcher
knife and hat (Which he hadi>won on the
election) for horse, which he afterward
sold for 81 so.
Mr. w. s. Monroe, of Auburn, saws he
has long-cared SOW which has produced
Sol worth OF hogs since the Goth day Of
last March, says the Advocate.
W. h. Hargrader, Of Lewisburg, has
not the hen that laid the golden egg,
but he has one that laid an egg five
inches long, shaped like a bowl pipe, and
another haviaf. q stem two inches long.
The editor or the Manchester paper,
having received ducking in creek
caused by his horse taking fright, de-
scribes the accident as exciting, but
uncomfortably novel, with the thermometer
down in the basement story
In a game of horseshoe pitch in the
Cumberland Mountains, Wes Arbo and
Dick Tinsi1 had long and exciting con-
test for the mountain championship The
pitching was kept up for three days and
at the end of that time the two champions
were tied

Il can further show by affidavit Mr..
sent him 10 hospital, in order to get him
to consent to so, agreed TO see that
cave OF absence was granted him, and
that the Surgeon for some reason which, by
reason OF the death Of some parties To the
affair, cannot now be shO wn. failed to get
Gen. Alger Ecver knew until the PTeSi-
dental campa gn of SS8 that the surgeon
did not get the leave OF absence, and THAT
Gen. Aiger, until that campaign, did not
know that any order for his dis misSal stood
against him on the records. | ackno Wedge
that the date Of den- Casters recommends
tion for Alger's dismissal comedies with
the date of his resignation, but I can prove
that Custer, being In the field and Alaser III
Washington, AIgar could not have known
Of Cus5er's recommendation at the time he
resigned.
Il say that the charges won't stick A
man who serves through tn war, who takes
part in sixty seven engagements, who is
repeatedly promoted for his conspicuous
bravery and gallantry, and who bears the
scars Of two honorable wounds upon his
body, is not the man to turn and run and
play the coward on the afternoon 9f the
last day of the war No sir, Gen. Alger's
war record is absoltealy unassaiiabie and
unimpeacbabIe, and should like no better
task than to defend it anywhere, under
any circumstances, against anybody"

Plenty of Havana Cigars.

The man at the cigar stand in an up
town hotel tells me, in confidence, of course,
says Il New York correspondent, that there
is no such thing as a scarcity in pure
Havana cigars. While toba eco-growing and
cigar-Inaking have been seriously inter
fered with, he Says stocks were SO heavy,
both in the leaf and cigar form, that there
will never be a scarcity Of pure Havana.
This same dealer, by the way, sells a
very rare cigar, not so scarce because OF
the supply as the lack OF demand. 1t is
a great, black, fragrant cigar he sells for
81 Only about four d week are sold.
That is quite u price for a smoke, es-
pecially as the man who hands it over the
counter very frankly tells you 20 cents
is all that should be put into a cigar.
Above that price you get size, not flag
rance.
The morning times., 1897-02-04
Hospital Linen Badly Needed.

The ladies of the auxiliary board of the
Emergency Hospital met yesterday 1t was
brought to- their attention by inspection of
the supplies and the suggestion of the
nurses that the hospital is sadly in Geed OF
linens. The supply of towels, napkins, he'd
linen and linen for baHdaging is at the
lowest ebb, and the ladies are tlesirous OF
replenishing it, Ways and means were con-
sideretl, without arriving at any definite
plan except that it was not deemed adj
visable to touch the reserve fund at this
time. 1t was hoped that when the wants
of so worthy and effective q charity as
the Emergency Hospital were made known
there would be generously disposed people
to meet these demands. There are linen
bargains plenty, and purchases according
to ones means are surely possible; and
all others may come forward also to con-
tribute their mites. Nothing is so neces-
sary as plenty of clean linen.
The morning times., 1897-02-04
People With Money to Spend.

Every day, writes Charles Austin Bates,
there are people walking around the streets
with money sticking out OF their pockets.
They are actually Looking around for some
place to spend it The man who reaches
out with his advertisements and pulls them
into his store is the one who is going to
get the money. HiSleSS aggressive brethren
will get what he leaves. Some of them
may get left entirely. Do not be afraid
of using plenty of space, and don't be
afraid to advertise special articles
The morning times., 1897-02-04
This Is Coed Advice

If you have not the artistic training or
ability to make an attractive display of
goods in your windows or on your
counters, find some clever young man or
woman who can do it, and encourage
him or her to become an expert, saws
the Dry Goods Reporter. Study the ef-
fects and the methods of large city houses,
and apply them, with notifications, to
your own business. A cheerful holiday
aspect all the year around-that is the
end to be attained. The dealer who
has the knack of making his goods ad-
vertise themselves is the one who makes
sales. The man who piles his goods in
proEniscuous heaps is putting a muzzle on
his best salesman. Whatever is worth
displa ying at all, is worth displaying WE'LL
Don't grudge little expense to do it,
II you have an employe who can make
the most attractive window in town, dom t
let rival take him from you by offering
a few dollars more for his services
