herald FELL ASLEEP.
Dozed on in the Arms of the Leader.
II is Called Consolidation.

The Evening Herald fell quietly and
peacefully asleep i'm the arms Of the
Leader yesterday afternoon. For the
first weekday-a few holidays being
excepted-in about four years il failed
to appear. The failure was explained
in both papers Tuesday I'm these words:
lowing to general depression of busi-
ness in this city and vicinity, the pub
fishers of The Herald and The Leader
have decided to follow the rule of all
commercial enterprises under such cir
cumstances. and have consolidated the
two papers"
However, the Herald forms no part
of the Leaders esCutChCOn and in re-
ality the Herald has ceased to he. 1t
owned no plant, having been printed by
s. F. Carpenter, who retains all the
type and machinery. The Leader has
simply acquired the good will of the
business and with it the services of the
editor. Frederick f. Forbes, who is one
of the ablest newspaper men i'm the
county.
The Herald was started by Professor
H. j. HoCkonhcrry, G. B. Samson and
S. F. Carpenter 1t prospercd until the
Morning Anthracite divided the field
into thirds The last-named soon sue
Cumbed. but while it lived the Herald
suffered and one injudiciOus move after
another prevented it from regaining
lost prestige. About two years ago
Mr.. Forbes purchased Mr.. SamsonS in
terest and a little later Messrs. Car
penter and Forbes bought out Profess
sor HoCkenbCrry. The first Of last Jan
uary the paper was issued in the morn
ing. A type-setting machine was put
in and the morning field was given a
trial for three months, after which it
was changed back to an afternoon
paper. The machine was taken out and
sent to the Leader office, where it now
stands idle, pending negotiations for a
trial. Thus passeth the Herald into
history.
Mr.. Forbes assumed his position on
the Leader STAFF yesterday and the edi-
torial columns were frightened by an
article from his pen on AN Emergency
to Meet" which deals with the dcCliu-
ing hard coal trade and points out the
necessity Of a diversity Of industries
for the preservation of the city's busl-
ness equilibrium.
With The Tribune filling every re-
quirement of the morning field and the
Leader answering all reasonable de-
mands made of an afternoon paper
Carhondale will not suffer for want Of
wholesome, efficient journalism.

unconsCiOusness was the result of con-
hospital. His features gave evidence
of having been severely pounded and
1t was thought at the time that the
unConsciousness was the result of con-
cussion. At the hospital, however, his
wounds were found to be of a superb
cial character and the unConsclousness
was evidently the result of something
not of a solid character. 1t wore off
in the course of time and yesterday
the patient was around the ward where
he is confined. In few days he will
be discharged. He made no statement
as to who his assailants are. and it is
improbable that any arrests will be
made.
