1T is to be hoped that the railroads
will make rates for the carnival that
in order to save their money, after the
example of the bargain counter. The
responsibility rests as much on the

NEW buildings are being planned
every day. and not a week passes that
construction is not begun on some new
blocks. And the demand is greater
than the supply. and is likely so to

vALEDICTORY.

A controlling interest of the capital
stock of theHERALD News company has
passed into the hands of 81. D. Slater,
who has for some time been largely in
terested in the paper.
With the passing of the larger share
of my stock retire from the manage
der my control for the past eight years,
excepting the year 1896, when it was
leased to J. M. Hawkins.
Mr.. Slater has had editorial control
of the: HERALD for more than a year
past, and has demonstrated his ability
to conduct that department of the pa
per. He has had experience in the
paper and will no doubt continue the
policy of the HERALD, editorial and
favorite of the people.
In severing my active connection

regrets. It has been my greatest am
bition to see it the leading newspaper
of the southwest. This ambition has
been satisfied, and while I would
like to remain with it until 1t rivals
the papers of Denver, Dallas, and
other great cities, which I am satisfied
it will do in few years, other in
terests which have neglected demand
my undivided attention and 1 decided
to dispose of the larger share of my
interest in the paper to some one who
could give it closer attention than it
was possible for me to do.
The HERALD has always stood for
the people. It Is the peoples voice. |
It is absolutely independent in all |
things, and aims to give all fair hear
ing. AS the peoples champion against
political corruption, vice, and persecu-
ton it has won a strong position.
In turning over the management
of the paper to Mr.. Slater I do SO be-
Heving that the community will be
fully as we'll protected in this respect
as If I remained with the paper. The
policy of the paper on national mat
ters will not be changed, and Mr..
Slater's earnest desire for good local
government is ample assurance that
,he HERALD will continue to be right
upon local matters. {

r. r. Co. demurrer. Order entered sus
tanning demurrer. This was an action be-
gun by plaintiff to recover from the
company damages for a broken leg and
other injuries sustained while i'm the EN-
ploy of the company at Covert i'm March
last. The court in his opinion, says:
"The declaration alleges that the train
upon which the plaintiff was at work con
sisted of several fiat ears and a caboose,
and it was the practice of those in charge
of the train, as it approached the place
of loading, and while the tram was in
motion, backing up, to uncouple the fiat
cars, thus kicking off the caboose from
the rest of the train, and that the plain
tiff and other workmen were expected
and required by the company to ride in
the caboose and to go therefrom to the
fiat cars, while the train was in motion,
but before reaching the place of loading
The plaintiff AYERS that, while the train
was backing up, at or near the place of
loading, he attempted to pass from the
caboose to the fiat cars and was injured
by reason of the uncoupling of the ca
boose, which threw him to the ground
and he was run over by the train. |

the allegations in the declarations is that
the plaintiff was attempting to pass from

when it was his duty to do so and at the
time when it was the practice of those

The County Seat.

An enthusiastic meeting was held at
the opera house yesterday to consider
Lawrence's show for getting the county
seat. Our business men pledge the site
and about 81 900 was subscribed. Com
mittees were appointed to make thor
ough canvass of the township for sub
scriptions, and another meeting was
appointed for one week from Sarur-
day.-Times.
Lawrence seems to be as much in
earnest as South Haven, and certainly
with more reason. Lawrence is cen
trally located, at anyrate

South Haven is soon to have its
seventh drug store they dole out great

and this feature may work against its

Every Paw Paw man we met in Paw

whether we had the county seat yet or
what was being done, or going to be done?
OF course, they were assured that South
Haven had got move on, or that the
foundation for the court house was
laid. They did not doubt the first as
sertion but of course were incredulous
about the second. But they are watch
ing.-South Haven Messenger.
Yes, we are watching. We are going
TO work now and show the county what
its best town, Paw Paw, can do to keep
the county seat where it belongs.

South Haven citizens realize that to
secure the county seat they must go
after it, that to go after it requires
work and money and there is not the
least doubt but that both will be fur
nished in large quantities. What is
Paw Paw doing.-Decatur Republican.
Paw Paw, in truth, is not doing very
much. 1t took time to convince our
people that there could be any serious
idea of moving the county seat into the
corner However, there can be no doubt
as to the seriousness of South Haven
in her scramble for it, and Paw Paw
will doubtless get hustle on now that
it seems advisable to do so. We thank
our Decatur friends for their kindly
interest in what Paw Paw is doing

SONS GRATITUDE.


Sent His Father Check for "Raising One
Boy" That Helped the Old Man Out of a
Tight Place.
The following story may not have
moral, or if there be one it may be
difficult to discover, but it has at least
the virtue of being true, and hence pos
sibly worth telling:
In a certain Office building not far
evard was for many years the Office Of
highly successful grain and stock
broker, man who worked early and
late for the interests of his clients, and
incidentally for his own interests. We
will call him Mr. Old Man Broker. He
had accumulated, among the items of
his fortune, fairly extensive and very
expensive family, consisting of three
daughters and one son.
Mr.. Young Man Broker had been sent
to an eastern academy and later to
Yale for his education. He had never
accomplished much as scholar, but
had brought himself into more or less
public notice in the New England town
on numerous occasions as the leading
spirit in unseemly pranks, and on ev-
cry such occasion the old gentleman
had come promptly to the rescue and
footed the bills, following up such &C
ton with a letter of very good advice
as to future conduct. which advice was
as regularly pigeonholed by the young
man and never followed.
In course of time and in spite of the
predictions of the good people of vari-
Gus localities, the young man was duly
graduated and came back to Chicago to
seek his fortune The old gentleman
initiated him into the mysteries of the
brokerage business, gave him $4,000
and told him to go ahead. Much to the
surprise Of every one acquainted with
the circumstances the young man. went
ahead and rapidly forged to the front

rank " traders, soon becoming = well
known character ii the business.
The panic OF 1898 came on, and one
morning Mr.. Old Man Broker found
that in spite Of everything he could do
absolute ruin was staring him in the
face and disaster could not be STAYED
off more than "a hours at the longest
estimate. He had had no direct COM
| munication with his son for several
days, but supposed that he was also
hard hit, as he was popularity supposed
to be following much the same line
of operation as the old gentleman. In
desperation he addressed note to his
son and sent it over across the street
by messenger. The note said:
MY Dear Boy:-The years have all
been in vain. The end is coming soon.
1t will finish my career, but trust you
| will be able to turn your talents in
ether directions and be on your feet
again before old age strikes you. Keep
a brave heart and keep up as long as
you can. fear to tell your mother
the news tonight. Come over and see
me. YOUR FATHER
In about 10 minutes the messenger
boy came back with a sealed envelope
which the old gentleman tore open ner-
vously. He read:
Dear Father:-I am exceedingly
busy, and cannot get away before clos
ing time. Please receipt the inclosed
bill and return to me.
"Y. M. BROKER"
Pinned to the note was a bill and a
certified check. The bill was as fol-
lows:
Young M. Broker, Dr., to Old M. Brok-
err; to raising one SON. ........ $50, 000
The certified check was for $4,000

Landauer, who, with his wife and
three children, lived in the same house

in which he expressed regret for what
he had done and said that he was about
to end all his troubles.

There is good story Of the presi-
Dental excursion down to the eastern
shore of Maryland. The party en-

enough to hear an excellent sermon
from the venerable Protestant Episco-
pal Bishop of Maryland, who was there
to administer the rite of confirmation.
President Arthur and the two Secre-
taries sat in quiet satisfaction. But
their peace of mind was suddenly dis
PEELED. The offertory was sung. At
the familiar words, Let your light so
shine before men," ETC., the President
and the Secretaries each quietly drop
ped a hand into a pocket.

Window drew forth a crisp 81 note
and held it between his thumb and
forefnger, ready for the. approaching
plate. The President and Mr.. Blaine
went little deeper into their peck
cts. One brought up nickel and the
other a dime. Their faces flushed. 1t
would never do to make such a con-
tribution.

not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
