What's the Use?.

Folks are going about with faces
as long as the undertaker's at rich
mans funeral, saying, what do yor
think of the financial situation" and
expecting everybody to weep in symp-
athy.
Now, as necessary as the "financia,
situation" is to the business system
the business system of this country
is strong enough that if business
will just keep its wits it will bring
the financial situation" along like
father leads scared child soothingly
to bed.
New York got scared and locked
itself in the house and shouted hys'
terical alarm from the upstairs win
dows, until the timid were infected
with the fright and have run crying
to their own shelters.
What's the use?
There is not a manufacturer in the
country who has exhibited any enter
prise in getting business that has his
orders filled as he should have then
at this time of the year, There is
no less business in the country thar
there was one month ago. Labor is
earning just as much as it did one
month ago. Good banks are as SOUND
as ever.
The business situation was never Sc
good, and the only hard times WI
need experience are the hard times
to fill orders, if everybody will JUS
cheer up and 60 on with their legiti
mate business instead of letting then
seselves become scared by timid Tom
my's bowels of alarm.

The determination OF the members
of the police force to suppress drunk

is commendable. The officers declare
their intention to arrest every man
who shows any sign of intoxication,
and in this laudable purpose they will
have the support Of every law-abiding
citizen of the community.

HOW MILLER WON ELECTION
CONTINUED from page ous.J

their affidavit of loyalty legal was not
Forthcoming. All who promised to
vote for the candidate for constable
were furnished the necessary stamp.
In this manner Miller succeeded Il in
getting majority of the votes.
But it appears that the officials were
informed of this trick, for a record
was recently found by Mr. Hammond
Hunter in the minute book of the coun-
ty supervisors, which bore the date
of 1865, and which set forth the fact
that Comfort Harden, a resident Of
the city, had appeared before the sup
ervisor and made affidavit to the above
trick; whereupon the supervisors de-
clared the vote for Miller null and
void Later Mr.. Miller appeared be-
fore the supervisors and explained
that he purchased the revenue stamps
to use for legitimate purposes, and
that he bought only so many as he
believed he would need. The fact
that he bought every one in the city,
and that no more could be secured
from Washington until the day after
the election, was not allowed to multi
fly his election, and the supervisors
rescinded their former action.
Mr.. Miller will be remembered by
many of the older residents of the
city. He died some years ago, leay-
ing considerable property, which he
had willed to his son, Deck Miller,
who was found in England about Is
years afterward by Col James It.
Thompson and returned to claim his
inheritance, and died here about one
year ago. The widow of Luther Miller
still resides in Washington.

1t Cured Her.
There is woman in Vermont who
will not be apt to answer any more
matrimonial advertisements. She is
said to be refined and cultured, but
was attracted by an advertisement
that purported to be from South
ern gentleman, who was minister
OF the gospel and desired an educa-
ted, cultured wife. She answered
and received series Of well-written
letters, and after time she con-
sented to go to Luke Park, Ca,
md marry this minister.
She found on arriving there that
he was a preacher all right, but a
coal-black one, and if she did come
from Vermont she had no idea of
being head lady in negro congre-
cation. She was SO overcome with
indignation that she collapsed, and
some sympathetic white people took
her to hotel, and warned the negro
preacher that he would be safer
away from the town. This lady will
return to Vermont with shattered
hopes, but cured OF answering matri-
monial advertisements.
Not Like "Town Topics"
Our mail brought to us few days

public attention to some scandalous
conduct in or near our city, and to
give the perpetrators a good roast

even if we were personally cognizT
ant of the facts. This is not scan

of events that are not already pub

out the skeletons in peoples closets.
AS long as they keep the door shut
and hide the hideous things they are
safe from us.

ton may all be true, but we are not
the ones to throw the searchlight OF
publicity upon them. We could
