along, has heard nothing either,

company. Candidly, the ExANsNNR
doesn't believe the franchise will be
accepted on the showing m1ade, and
If it isn't, it is time to canvas some
'other proposition. The reason for
the nen- acceptance will be, that
there is not sufficient revenue to
Justify the promoters in putting it

/ Mr.. Dubois came back In 1856 because
OF the Kansas trouble, which made il inn
possible for Eastern people to remain in
that part OF Missouri.

destroyed by fire in 1877. They then
built the present large Dubois & Gay
brick block, and carried on an extensive
and successful hardware business in town
for years, finally disposing of IL to Jas

about 80 years. Dubois Il Gay did pri-
vate banking business for some time be-

tional bank was organized, with Mr.. Du-
Bots as cashier, position he held for 20
years.

said:
"a familiar form has passed away. An
old resident, who has been prominent for
many years in the life anc business Of our
town, will be missed by all, and especially
by those older people who have known
him long. He was born here and most of
bis life was spent here in active business
and uDremitting industry. Within the
last few years, when the increasing
infirmities OF age demanded a rest, he
retired to well-earned repose. he was a
careful and correct man of business and
bis tireless devotion to 1t offers a good
example to those who are just entering
on the business OF life. Success Is the
reward OF persistent and intelligent effort,
and there is no more easy or royal road
by which to gain 1t. He had passed the
psalmist's limit of earthly life, the three
score years and ten; he had labored for
long; he had borne with patience the
inevitable burdens OF life, and he has gone
to his rest. He has heard and accepted
the invitation of his Saviour. May he
rest in peace and may light perpetual
shine upon himl"

A Way with a WaE.

A we'll known broker. who does bust
ness near the corner of Broad and Chest
nut streets. has the odd faculty of being
able. whenever he desires. to wag his left
ear. This is not the usual little jerk due
to muscular contra ction, but is a deliber-
ate and pronounced wag. The broker
who is a persistent joker, manages to get
plenty of fun from his movable ear. The
other day he entered restaurant and
gave his order to nervous looking
waitress. When she returned with a tray
laden with dishes, he spoke sharply and
drew her attention to him. Instantly his
ear began to wag, and the astonished girl
dropped the tray, dishes and all, on the
floor. She could not be induced to Ge
turn and finish her task.-Philadelphia

The men. it is said made no demand
on the company asking a settlement
but will probably present their side of
the question before Monday. The diff
ference came up over trivial matter,
that of sending a helper out with the
tradesmen. The management did not
send out the helpers yesterday and the
men went out, or, rather, quit work
without further notice.
1t is thought by those interested that
the matter can be settled satisfactorily
to all concerned.
