controlling an unruly horse, but lost only
one day-just the time required to get
proper bandage, and saw active service
until February, 1862, when my injury

More News From Winners.

Plenty of clubs coming in. Does not
seem hard at ali to raise a club for The
National Tribune. Pretty good paper,
and getting better all the time, some peo-
pie say. Try your hand at getting sub
scribers. 1t is the easiest way Of getting
that ten thousand dollar prize.
Many of our friends are hunting up
their neighborhood and getting them to
advertise. This is another easy way of
getting that ten thousand dollars.
Any friend of this paper can take
orders fer subscriptions, books and adver-
Using, and one thousand of such friends
are going to get prizes. The friend who
is reading this, just as likely as not, will
get that ten thousand dollars.
All kinds of clubs are forming. The fol-
lowing extract from a Club Captains let
ter discloses one kind:
"Send any prize we may draw to the
- Bank to be credited to the - Club.
We hope it will be big one-indeed, the
biggest one. We expect to have the money
in the bank for any prize we win by June
II. Then on the 10Th or 18th each men,
Der will make guess, sealing it up in an
envelope. of what the Treasury Receipts
will be for Monday, June 10. The en-
velopes will be given to the bank cashier,
who will open them when the news comes
CT what the receipts were, and decide
which member of the club made the
closest guess. This lucky dog will get
away with the bone If the prize is of
good size the winner agrees to stake the
members in new contest. Great scheme,

amt it? Everything planned out to a
nicely, except the uncertainty of getting a
big prize from you. We feel a little deli
cacy about planning for this, and espe-
cially about proposing for it when we re-
member the pair of gray-haired old SOL
diers who publish The National Tribune.
A new coupon is now ready-a very
convenient one. This can be used for
subs, books or advertising. A good plan
for patrons who want to make sure Of
having guesses in the coming contest for
great prizes is to send on money at any
convenient time and order coupons. A
whole year is allowed in which to dispose
of them.

cRAYoN PORTRAITS:

Anyone who can do first-class work
ought to find good patronage by advertis-
ing. Send one good portrait to a neigh
borhood and other work will come from it.
But it must be good work. We repeat
that merit must always be part of an
advertised article. 1t is the follow-up
benefit that inures to profit. Do not ex-
pect to humbug our folks. One who tries
that is only humbugging himself.

COFFEE:

The finest coffee in the world is half
chickory-that is the way the French
make it. If the writer wanted to try a
new business that had the promise Of a
big business in it, he would buy carload
of coffee in New York or Baltimore (cost
about DC pound and mix with it n car
load of chickOry, which would cost al
most nothing, as he would raise it himself,
and call this French coffee" First cost
of this would be about DC a pound. Re-
tail price should be 2Oc n pound, and it
would he the best and most satisfactory
coffee that could be bought for that price.
Wholesale price to dealers about 10c to
12c pound. Make it popular by adver-
Using in The National Tribune.

COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS

Many of these institutions of learning
could greatly improve their patronage by
advertising in our columns. Our patrons
who have advertising coupons for sale
ought to find purchasers in these institu-
tons. College students seeking employ
ment out of term and college professors
desiring n change could find enga gements,
probably, by advertising.

that these goOdSlare sold by advertising.
Many carriage and wagon shop could

CANDY:

1t is altogether probable that some of
our lady readers make such delicious
candy that trade could be established for
it. Introduce it by advertising. Then its
quality will secure other customers. No
use to compete with other lines of goods
unless there is superior merit. But if you
are sure, and others are sure, that your
candy is just a little better than any
other, then there is chance to win. Merit
and quality are things that people appre-
cite nowadays. There are plenty of goods
of ordinary quality, but superior goods are
always scarce and will bring a price and

CEREALS:

The influence of advertising has made
the American breakfast largely meal of
some kind of grain. These grains bear
various names, but they are all about the
same thing. Some clever comrade who
will examine closely what others are do
ing and then have a grain food made a
little different, and, if possible, little
improved, by giving it new name and
then advertising it in our columns, might
be starting a great business. This is
mighty well worth cogtating about.

CHI EESE.,

Once in n while dealer supplies his
customers with slices Of cheese so rich and
fine that they all rush back for more.
Usually the very next cheese he slices up
is poor and tasteless. Now whoever has
the skill and rectitude probably requires
a good man to make good cheese to
turn out fine, rich cheese every time
could build up fine trade. No doubt of
it whatever.

cOMFORTERS
AND CUSHIONS

Another suggestion for ladies. Make
comforters and cushions, guaranteed to be
sanitary, and advertise FOR purchasers.
Ladies can buy the materials for these
goods almost as cheap as the factory, and
Il sewing machine is about all the machin-
cry required. A cheap supply of down, or
some material as good, would be great
advantage.

make mantlepieces Of good designs from

sell. Many comrade. would like a Get
tysburg battlefield mantle in his house; at
least we think so. Here is a tip along the
same line Of thought: Buy few acres
of timber land which was formerly part
Of the estate Of George. Washington. We
understand there is plenty of it for sale
at about $50 an acre. Make a nice line
of Colonial furniture from the wood, call
ing it Mt. Vernon furniture. Plenty Of
people would buy it when it was proper
ly advertised.

The breeder who has taken the pains to
secure or rear fine stock can get his re-
ward by advertising and selling some of
it at big prices. At the same time he will
help others in breeding good stock.

R0DEY'S FEELINGS HURT
The Delegate From New Mexico
Was Sensitive Man and Suf-
fered Greatly.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. ,>---.
Washington, March 6.-Delegate Rodey
of New Mexico has sat in the senate al
most continuously during it's open ses-
sions, watching the progress of the state
hood debate. He is a sensitive man, and
resents bitterly any criticism of the terri
tory which he represents. =. When Mr..
Dillingham; of Vermont made his speech,
as a. member Of the committee, at the
opening Of the fight, Rodey was SO deeply
offended that he stopped speaking to the
senator, and meeting him in one of the
departments some weeks later,s told him
that this speech had been such an insult
to New Mexico and its people that he could
never forgive it's author But as the de-
bate proceeded and the Quay tactics
aroused other antagonism. the speeches
became less and less complim entary to the
territories, till Rodey finally began to
think that, by comparison at least, Mr..
Dillingham; was not so bad after all. He
accordingly resumed acquaintance with
him. But against the later participants in
| the debate Rodey is very bitter, particu-
larly SO toward Mr.. Depew. Me- Aldrich,
who, as the manager of republican affairs
| In the senate, has done his part to keep
| out the new territories, also comes in for
a good share Of Rodey's wrath.
There seems to be considerable differ
| ence of opinion between the delegates
from New Mexico and from Arizona over

OVER o. !'l:l The HI TERM
Joseph Cohen Appears in Court and
His Cases Are Con-
tinued.
The Cases Against George A. Harvey
Are Disposed Of in Like
III Manner.


Joseph Cohen the much indicted lieu
tenant of Former Mayor A. A. Ames, will
not be tried again at this term of court.
Twice he has been subjected to a long,
tedious trial without definite results and
now the court says that he should be given
little chance for rest and recupera ton.
Accordingly there will be nothing doing
with "Reddy'' until the April term is well
under way. 49, -.z ~, Il
" The we'll advertised defendant appeared
before Judge Harrison this morning. Upon
the showing Of counsel and with the ac
quiescence Of County Attorney Boardman
a continuance over the term on all of the
indictments was granted by the court and
Cohen remarked something about being
thankful that he was going to be given
a short breathing space at least. The de-
PENDANTS plea Of not guilty to the last
indictment was made a court record.
The cases against George A. Harvey,
charging respectively the crimes of tax
ing unlawful fees and perjury, were con-
tinued over the term: E E

sistant County Attorney Leary; In the two
indictments for grand larceny in the sec
ond degree against Peter E.SWenz.
