"Suit yourself, son. Your bank account

The other members of the family en-
tered the parlor, where they were seated
when Mr.. kellogg descended the stairs.
''Oh," exclaimed Elinor kellogg, there
is matter that 1 had nearly forgotten;'
and she joined the banker ere he reached
the outer door.
'Mr. Kellogg

ooh, perhaps l should not ask it, but"
Speak out, madam; have no fear. Any
thing that 1 can do for you will be done
with pleasure"
"You know, my dear brother, if so I
may be permitted to call you-for no
brother could have received Il sister more
kindly than you have received me-that
Earl has not an acquaintance in the West.
He is a good boy, and my heart is bound
up in him. If you would kindly introduce
him and speak of him as your nephew, in
stead Of as your brothers stepson, l can
see that it would be greatly to his advan-
tage; he would meet with more considera-
ton from those with whom he comes in
contact"
The banker smiled.
''She knows more of the world than 1
surmised," he thought.
Most certainly" he said. "You shall
be my loved sster-Earl, my nephew"
God bless you, my dear brother! were
the words that fell from the widows lips
as she raised her handkerchief to her eyes,
The sympathetic banker placed one arm
around her waist, imprinted kiss on her
fair brow, and with the words, "Cheer
up, my dear sister, you are with those
who will love you and smooth your path
way" fastened away.
A peculiar smile passed over the 1ea-
lures Of the widow as she lowered the
handkerchief from her face. No tears
were in her jet black eyes-rather Il look
that seemed to say, "Score one for Elinor
Kellogg"
AS for the banker-his face was certain
~ somewhat flushed as he passed out Of
the gate, and he unused thus:
Il am surprised at myself. Not for a
thousand dollars would l have Thalia
know of the kiss that l imprinted on the
widows brow-no, or the girls. Pshaw! it
was but brothers kiss, and SO will my
sister-in-law regard it.
MY! but she is charming. She must
be as good and pure also, as she is attrac-
tive. | an truly glad that she came into
our lives and think Thalia will like her.
[ shall soon become better acquainted
With my brothers widow"
The banker would of a truth.

A very interesting table OF compafi-

the Omaha World Herald, covering the
dates between the holding Of the con-

and March 10, 1898, designed to snow

The foregoing are Omaha prices, eX-
cept the last three quotations. 1heS
have been taken from the newspaper
of which Mr.. Bryan was the reputed
editor for several years. They are the
prices as gathered by that paper from
the markets. The comparison shows a
gain in favor of the farmer all along
the line Some Of the 16-to-1 organs
have been saying that there has been
no change for the better for the farm
ers, to whom they made their appeal III
1896. The farmers know better, and
those who consult the market reports
know better Prices are higher instead
Of lower, as the Organizes predicted IL
1896. Wheat has gone up to about the
dollar mark instead Of falling below oO
cents, as MI Bryan predicted IN 1895.
The comparisons show that silver is
not so tied to the necessary commodi-
ties that they cannot rise until the
ounce price Of silver shall rise, conse-
Guently all the 16-to-1 people who de-
clared that this is the case are, to put
it mildly, mistaken, even II they Will
not admit it. Their admitting it Will
make no difference. The thousands Of
farmers who voted in the election Of
1896 know that the farmers prices
have improved since the election of Ne
Kinley, and they will not be much less
inclined to believe Mr.. Bryan and his
followers in 1893 than they were in
1896. But the latter seem not to realize
it-IndianaDOliS Journal

ONCE TIE EXECUTIVE MANSION
The CctaGon House at Washingto ton Has
an Interesting History.

an Interesting History.
One of the most interesting houses
in the city of Washington IS that which
stands on the corner Of New York ave-
nue. and Eighteenth street, commonly
known as the ''octagon house. 1t is
interesting on account of the fact thar
1t was once used as the executive man
sion.
In 1903 Col. John Tayloe, whose rep
utation seems to have been based large
ly on the fact Of his being the richest
man III Virginia, decided to build
home for himself and family in the
city of Philadelphia, but owing to the
persMsions Of Gen. Washington,
changed his mind and built instead the
octagon house, in what was considered
in those days a very out-of-the-way
portion Of the city. Gen. Washington
assisted in making the plans and took
the keenest interest il it's erection.
Col. Tayloe entertained what was
known as the Unofficial set, which com
prised some Of the first families of
Washington, but it was not until the
burning Of the White House in 1911
that it became political center. Then
it was that he removed his family to
one Of his Virginia plantations and Of
fered to rent the house to President
Madison, which offer was accepted.
Although unoccupied for years, it
stands to-day almost the same as it
stood in the days when men and wom
en- Of fashion thronged it's rooms. On
ascending a fight of stone steps and
entering the broad doorway one finds
himself in hall almost Circular in
formed the floor is now superseded by
pine boards; two stoves of antique pat
tern front each other from inches in
opposite walls. Beyond is another
hall, from which opens on the right the
ballroom where Dolly Madison held
some Of her famous receptions.
For years past the house has had an
uncanny reputation, on account Of the
numerous ghost stories which are in
circulation concerning the strange
sounds heard within it's walls. The
Waterman, who has lived there for
seven years, claims, however, that nc
has never yet heard a sound. Never.
theless, there is one story which has
the semDlance of truth. While the
Iayloes were occupying the house the
door bell rang one day, but the maid on
answering it could see no one. Again
it rang, and this time the Old colonel
himself went, but there was DO one.
Finally all the bells in the house start
ed ringing and nothing could stop them.
They continued ringing until the Tay-
loe family took their departure. The To-
cal papers noted the phenomenon at
the time of it's occurrence.

Among the most faithful officers O
the Seventh Army Corps with whom I
came in intimate contact were my own
commander, Col. W. A. Montgomery,
of the Second Mississippi, and Col.
William Jennings Bryan, of the Third
Nebraska. These men not only as
sisted me in securing the attendance
of their men, but were always ready to
perform any service required. They
often lead in public prayer and some
times in exhortation. Col. Bryan was
even more eloquent in preaching the
Gospel than when discussing national
issues in the campaign of 1896. These
officers prohibited the disreputable ar
my canteen from being introduced in
to their regiments. They were faith
full in looking after their. sick in the
hospitals. When so many officers
we're recreant to their duties to God,
it is a pleasure to bear testimony to
the Christian loyalty of these two ef'
ticient commanders.-"C in the
Camp" by Chaplain J. M. Phillips,
in the Seminary Magazine.

Here, too, on these fair, rich Penn
sylvania fields, where $4,000 United
States soldiers are encamped, the
deadly Government canteen is getting
in it's destructive work under the sane
tion of our President Mckinley. The
guardhouse, the prison, the hospital,
and the grave all bear witness of the
effectiveness of this agency Of the dev-
il in destroying the soldiers who en-
listed to fight the battles of this sing
ular "war for humanity.' A small
part of this legalized shame and crime
is portrayed in the New York Voice
of last week.-The Evangelical, Pitts

We clip the following from the
Litch6eld Review report of the Fifth
Annual Convention of the Minnesota
State Butter & Cheese-makers Asso-
citation held at Litchfeld last week:
"The Care Of Creamery Machinery"
was discussed by S. Stenberg, of the
Irving creamery. Mr.. Stenberg ad-
vanced some sensible and practical
suggestions, showing that in addition
ia being good buttermaker he is al
so a frst-class machinist. His re-
marks were made in an entertaining
way, and were given close attention.
The discussion that followed was
mainly in regard to the care of boiler.
Some present believed in keeping ash
pit we'll cleaned out, while others
claimed that fuel could he saved by al
lowing ashes to pile up nearly to

OUT any quicker than in following the
other course"

EXPLANATIONS SENT ABROAD

When we read in the newspapers
that Hon. L. O. Thorpe, state senator
from K.ndiyohi county, was renomi-
mated, we would have wagered $40

Penny Press that his reelection would
be certainty, for if ability, honesty,
energetic and conscientious work for
his district and the state entitle a man
to an Endorsement from his constitu-
uents Mr.. Thorpe should have been
returned to his seat in the senate by a
practically unanimous vote. Soon
after election, when we learned that
Pop was actually elected in his place,
we were more than surprised.
A letter recently received from Sem
ator Thorpe explains the situation in
part. He says: II was renominated
unanimously and not murmur was
heard against me. Invent to work with

ticularly for governor and congress-

ALTGELD AND DEMOCRACY.

Will the Bourbon and Croker ele-
ments of the democratic party stand
any chance Of controlling the same at
it's next national convention? Some
people pretend to believe that they
will. 1t may be interesting to note
what E<-Gov. Altgeld of Illinois has
to say on the subject. Mr.. Altgeld is
perhaps the best organizer in the
ranks of the reformed democracy and
is constantly IN touch with the popular
leaders OF his party. In an interview
with the New York World, Mr.. Alt
geld in part said:
'The breathing, living issue in 1900
will be free silver. Renegade Demo-
Gratis and robber republicans cannot
kill it. 1t is not dead, because the
corrupt twin brethren, Hanna and
Croker, assert that it is dead. Every
man who was earnestly aud conscient-
ously with US in 1896 is with US to-day.
1.-THE platform of 1895 will be reaf-
firmed. There will be no hedging, no
lodging. Free silver will be stronger
in the next national convention than it
was in the last. There is a painful
surprise in store for men who believe
it is dead.
''Trust smashing will be pushed with
vigor. Money combines are increas-
ing in number and strength daily.
This administration has been marked
by the successful organization of many
colossal trusts. All the necessaries Of
lite, not to mention the luxuries, are
controlled by centralized wealth.
The people are at the mercy of com.
bined capital, and this is the heydey
of the trusts. A chilling frost is COM
ing soon. The people are in revolt.
The trusts will be smashed as certain
as the sun shines.
''The democratic party stands for
the toiling masses of this country, the
people who pay the taxes and fight
the battles. It does not stand for Mr..
Croker; if it did, it would not be a
democratic party. Mr.. Croker repre-
sents just what Hanna represents
money and spoils. If they changed
places they would find their environ
ment the same.'

Cash Business After January
1, 1890.

To our Friends and Patrons:
We have determined that after Jan.
lst, 1899, we will do only a strictly
cash business. We are obliged to do
this to protect ourselves against loss
and our patrons against high prices.
Our business has grown to such a
magnitude that we in justice to our
selves and customers cannot conduct
our business along the lines of smaller
concerns. When you patronize shop
where credit is extended, you must
pay, in the increased prices, not only
for your own meat, but if the business
is to be continued also the bills which
are not paid. We are obliged to pay
cash for all our goods, as they ar
rive, and in advance for cattle and
therefore cannot extend the same Gre
dit as other lines Of business where GO
or 80 days time is given on invoices.
We are satisfied that our customers
will be pleased with the new arrange
ment after they have given it a trial.
Watch our front windows after Jan.
l, and see what we can do when we get
the cash. All who pay their bills
promptly will find no hardship in the
new plan, after the REIMBURSEMENT has
once taken place, but will quickly
learn its advantages. Thanking all
for their liberal patronage in the past,
we will greatly appreciate the contin-
uance of their custom under our new
arrangement. We solicit the trade ot
all cash buyers.
