A Woman on A dvertising.

A bright Peru, Ill, woman com
menting on the causes which draw
women to the great Chicago stores,
says:
"The merchants have influenced
the railroad companies to stop the
Sunday rates and people can no
longer go on single fare to Chica-
go for purchase of goods But the
merchants must remember that
Chicago dailies still come to Peru.
They contain great advertisements,
and the Chicago houses still send
out illustrated catalogues. A great
amount of money will go to the city
in mail orders, but much of it could
be kept at home to increase the
prosperity of Peru, if the merchants
would do judioious Advertising.
No lady wishes to be looked upon
as Shopping fiend;" she does not
care to have merchant show her
all his stock in order to find out
whether he keeps what she wishes
to purchase, and whether the article
is sold at a price she, can afford. 1t
is much easier and pleasanter to
look through the advertisements of
n paper than it is to bore clerks and
waste her own time. Next to local
items, the advertisements are most
read. A fuller set of advertise
ments in our paper, stating articles
for sale with with prices, will keep
much of the money that goes to the
large cities in circulation in our
own town-Printer's Ink.

Stopped.
The police should be instructed
to call down and "pull in" the
mon and boys who, when they see
two dogs or more together hiss
them on to fight on the public
streets. This practice has been
going on SO long, and occurring
nearly every day that great COM
plant is being made. 1t is annoy
ing to people passing along the
streets, and especially to ladies
who are forced from the pavements
to the muddy streets to escape the
dog fight and the boisterous men
and boys. We trust our Mayor
will instruct tho police to arrest
anyone caught at this dirty piece
of work, and bring them promptly
before him.
Another dangerous practice the
boys and men have gotten into is
the shooting of target guns and
rubber sings on the streets of the
town. This too, should be stopped,
before some one is badly wounded
by stray bullet. Keep order in
town.

Thc WnY to INtlI TRUSTS.

Missouri has a law which if
adopted by the States generally,
would destroy every trust in the
land. It has declared trusts and
corporations, made to coutrol the
price of articles, unlawful in that
State, and their trading unlawful,
1t has further declared by statute
that no combination or trust shall
collect any debt or obligation in
that State made for the sale of the
article it controls. In a recent
suit in Missouri, in which this law
was pleaded in defence, the Court
upheld it, instruoting the jury to
bring in a verdict for the defend
ant if they believed the plaintiff
was trust or combine formed to
control the price of the goods sued
for, and the jury SO believed.

The Coal Combine.

The gigantic coal combine seems
to be completed. 1t is said that
hundreds of millions of dollars
have been brought into the COM
bination, and that over three mil
lions of dollars will be saved yearly,
not, of course, to the consumers of
coal, but to the owners of mines.
The object of the combine is to SO
prevent competition that the coal
consumer shall deal with only one
corporation in negotiating for tho
country's supply of this fuel. A
large number of men will probably
be thrown out of work, the price of
coal may be advanced and wages
and salaries may be reduced. But
the income of j. Pierpoint Morgan
and his associates in this enterprise
may be SO increased that possibly
they may not be subjected to the
painful modification of knowing
that Rockefeller makes more money
in minute than they do in 60 of
the same measures of time-an en-
barrassing situation for any man
who undertakes to corner the wealth
of the world, and finds several mil
lions still beyond his grasp and in
the hands of an oil dealer.-Char-
