MutuaPs Salaries Reduced.

The trustees Of the Mutual Life In
surance company at New York voted
to reduce the salaries of the principal
executive officers so as to effect an ag-
gregate saving of $225,OO0 a year.
This brings the salary of President Nc
Curdy down from $4,000 to $4,000.
All agents are to go on salary hereaft-
er. Nothing in this action is taken to
commit the trustees to a continuance
OF the McCurdy regime.
Steel Trusts New Plant.
The United States Steel corporation
mas recently purchased $500 acres Of
land on the south shore Of Lake Michi-
gan in Indiana with the expectation Of
erecting soon a manufacturing plant
on an enormous scale. The improve
ment will be nominally under the man
agement of the Illinois Steel company.
The plant will consist Of blast fur
naces, open hearth furnaces, coke
ovens and various mills for the produc-
ton of steel products.
It was reported at Washington, Pa,
that the steel trust had absorbed co.
900 acres of coal lands in that section
at an expense of $1OOO0,000. This is
expected to make the trust independent
OF coal troubles for several decades.
Tarbeii as Rebater.
The main point Of popular interest
elected by the insurance committee
from the testimony of Gage e. Tarbell,
the Equitable's manager Of agencies,
was that he had received the agents
commissions on policies taken out on
fdent of the society. His policies
amounted to about 100000. Neverthe-
less he professed to believe that this
was not rebating.
The Mutual Reserve Life was next
under investigation, it's actuary, George
ID. Eldridge, telling how the former
president, e. B. Harper, had received
10 cents on every $1,000 of insurance,
amounting up to $4,000 at the time Of
bis death. When Harper was succeeded
by Frederick e. Burpham part Of these
commissions were Sturned over to a
special or yellow dog" fund for the
protection Of the company in any way
the president might see fit.
Ginning Report Booms Cotton.
On the strength Of the census bu-

Ginned to Nov. II the price Of cotton
advanced Nov. Is about 100 points, or
50 on bale. This means that tbs
pound rate went up from nearly II
cents to nearly IL cents on pound.
The trade has been predicting an 8O00,-
900 bale crop, but the report showed
only 7,49S, 1877 bales. During the day
about 100000 bales changed hands at
New York, and Joseph 81. Hoadley, who
had been conducting bull pool, real
lied enormous profits, running into sew
eral millions. In five minutes $50,000,-
900 was added to the market value Of
the cotton crop. The Hoadley syndi-
cate included a large number Of farm
ers through the south. Corresponding
losses were sustained by the Price bear
pool. Farmers in the Hoadley syndi-
cate were said to be calling a mass

that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German

undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,

cure you completely. GNo matter how

as it has done before in thousands of APP

- Supt. Nye's decision to hold three
school board conventions in bic
Grant county instead of one was
made after consultation with State
Supt. Cary and several school
district officers in various portions
of the county, and the Herald is of
the opinion that it was not only a
wise but an economical move taking
everything into consideration. The
city, of Lancaster should not be
selfish in these minor matters and
we doubt if the citizens of our city
are, Notwithstanding the opinion of
the Teller. Three school board con-
v,ntions conveniently held will not
cost as much as one held. at Ian
caster, as will be determined by in
vestigating the amount paid county
board members at the annual ses-
sions held here. Then there's the
increased attendance and the good
results of getting the school boards
together by the proposed plan.
Directors at Muscoda and Hazel
Green would be at great expense to
the county in coming to Lancaster,
but they can attend the convention
at Fennimore or Platteville at one
half the outlay and receive the same
benefits. Supt. Nye is of course in
convenienced in making three dates
and three special and distinct pro-
grams, but we believe it to be the
best plan. Lancaster people should
not live for Lancaster alone when
county matters are at stake.
