Factory Site Wanted.

The following in commended to
our Board of Trade. 1t is lette,
from A. G. Schellenberger, OF
Bloomington, Illinois. It would
be we'll for our Board of Trade to
investigate:
"Here is the opportunity for an
enterprising city to secure large.
old established manufacturing
plant without cents bonus, which
will cause to be expended nearly q
half million dollars in improve
ment and employ nearly 500 expert
artisans and mechanics at good wa
ges in the manufacture of brassart
goods, tools, machinery, etc., which
have a ready sale. The company
has recently been incorporated to
consolidate several factories under
one roof which have been in sue
cessful operation for over 40 years
in the east and running over time;
have outgrown their facilities and
want to extend their capacity.
"Tbe company is seeking live.
progressive place with cheap land,
coal, water, railroad and other ia
cilities, where the citizens will
agree to take we'll secured mort
gage bonds at low rate of interest,
providing the company may decide
it advisable to further increase
their plant. No bonus will be &C
copied, as the stockholders are well
able to meet their obligations in
short time after the plant is re-
moved and in operation. Such an
industry will increase the popula-
ton fully 1000 additional, and
within ten years time will disburse
in wages and other expenditures
the sum of nearly million dollars,
and in return the company ask for
nothing but what they will pay for
and for which they furnish A 1
security. Any town feeling inter
ested in this project and can raise
the bonds may address, with maps
and full details"

A close student Of passing events

A close student of passing events
cannot help but discern the deplor-
able fact that modern "sassiety"
utterly ignores and ostracises the
man of honor in preference for the
dude dead beat. No matter how
honest and conscientious man
may be, if he fails to sail in and
cut a wide swath by being a
"sassiety" swell, no matter if in
doing so he neglects paying his
bills, that cuts no ice, he is no
body in the eyes of the swell set,
who never pay a cent and live on
what their wife's parents or dad
gives them. Modern "sassiety as
catered by the big city papers, is
as rotten as ten-year-old eggs and
as ignorant as the gold standard
argument advanced by those news
papers that can scarcely scrape
up enough money on Saturday
night to pay scab wages. But
still there are those who imagine
they are nobody unless they cater
to the whims of such "sassiety.' .

TI.e Heart d 8 soIeIier.

Where is the heart of soldier,
His though5, his hope and his
dream,
When the rifles ring aud the bullets
And the flashing sabers gleam2
oh, not on the field of battle,
But far and far away,
His heart is living the old, old hopes,
While his sword is red in the fray.
Where is the heart of soldier,
And what do the bugles wake,
And what does theroar of the cannon
mean
When the hills beneath them shaker
oh. not for them the glory,
And the dash and crash of war,
But his heart is away on a mission
Where they hear no cannon roari
And there is the heart of a soldier
A little home on the hill,
A Whitehead woman, little child,
That stand by the window sill;
a little song and a little prayer,
A wonder in the face,
And a .'God save papa and bring him
back
In the goodness of Thy gracer'
Yea, there is the heart of soldier.
Where wife and baby are,
Though his eyes and his will may fol
low
The light of the battle star;
Though his hand may swing the sa-
Der,
And his bayonet charge the foe,
The soldiers heart is away, away
In the home where they..miss him so

Bows Called.

The boys forming the Volunteer
Company here under Capt. Howard,
have been called for mobilization,
and will get together Wednesday
for medical examination and mus
tering into the service. No better
or drawer men than the Mason
county volunteers will be furnish
ed from this or any other State.
There is room in this company
for several more good men. Those
who mean business and want to GO
to the front, should send their
names in at once, as this will in all
probability be the last call upon
the State, and certainly the last
chance to form a company from
Mason county.

water-Works.

Mr.. Dunn, of Scranton, Pa. is
in town and will make application
for a water-works franchise. He
said to reporter of the Daily Reg
lister yesterday, that if franchise
was granted him he would make
most liberal concessions to the
town, and would construct water
works on any plan desired by the
town, whether reservoir on the hill
or sta ld-pipe with sufficient eleva-
ton to give a pressure sufficient
for all purposes; and at any time
after the work was completed, the
town would have the privilege of
purchasing the works and cwning
and operating them. That water
works is one of the needs of this
town, goes without saying, but
how to get them in the towns
present financial condition, with
out burdening our people is anoth-
er thing to consider. But when
the council meets the whole matter
will be fully considered and inves-
tigated, and if Mr.. Dunn can offer
the town an economical plant,
with the interests of the town we'll
guarded, the council may be in
clined to grant him franchise.

The Feet.

Hot water enlarges the feet by
drawing the blood to them. When
used the feet should be exercised
before attempting to put on a
tight boot. Mustard and hot
water in a foot bath will cure a
nervous headache and induce sleep.
Bunions and corns and callousness
are natures protection against bad
shoe leather. Two hot foot baths
a week and little pedicuring will
remove the cause of much discom-
fort. A warm bath with an ounce
of sea salt is almost as restful as a
nap. Paddle in the water until it
cools, dry with rough towel, put
on fresh stockings. make a change
of shoes, and the person who was
ready to drop" will then be ready
to stand up.

Private Mailing Cards.

The postoffice department under
a recent act of Congress has made
an important and agreeable change
in the matter of the transmission
of private cards through the mails.
Heretofore the charge of mailing
cards with written matter upon
them has been two cents each, al
though postals cost but one cent.
Under the present law, which
takes effect July 1, the charge on
private cards will be only one cent,
provided they are not larger than
81 by 81 inches, of quality sub
stantially that of a postal card,
light in color, and they must bear
the words, "Private Mailing Card
Authorized by act of Congress
Nav 10, 1885," The message may
be either in writing or print.
