TRADES MAGNET.
Virtue in Right Kind Of Advertising
in the Home Papers.


There is no apparent reason why
the merchant in the average town
should not be able to sell goods class
and quality considered, as low as the
large city stores. He is under less
expense, and If he is enterprising and
up-to-date, he can buy his goods at
as low figure as the retailers in the
large cities. There is laxity observed
in the management of business by
some merchants in rural towns They
depend too much on trade drifting
their way without making the right
kind of effort TO gain it. A merchant
in western state who took it in his
head to use large advertising space
in his town paper, found that within
three months, by persistently follow
ing up plan of using a half page in
the local paper for the publishing OF
prices and describing goods, increased
his trade more than a third. From the
position Of doing about the fourth
amount of business of any store in
the town, he rapidly raised to first
place. He is on the road to prosper
ity, and has been benefit to the town
in general, drawing trade to it that
was never enjoyed before This was
done within 80 miles of one of the
large western cities, and with the de-
partment stores of the city advertis-
ing in the same paper.

MUROERERS NOT YET CAUGHT
PERPETRATORS OF CRIME ARE
STILL AT LIBERTY.
Charred Body Of Operator Hutchin-
son Was Found Bound and Gag
ged, With Bullet In Head.

Further details of the killing of Bal
timore & Ohio Operator Hutchinson,
near Wheeling, early Monday morn
ing, are contained in the following
special dispatch from Welcome, the
scene of the tragedy. The murders
have not been caught. The dispatch
says:
After robbing the railway station on
the Ohio division of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad at Welcome, w. Va,
desperadoes murdered Edward Hutch
inson, the night operator. The men
then bound and gagged the opera
tor and burned the depot.
The fire attracted the attention OF
the citizens of the place, who en-
deavored to save the building by form
ing a bucket brigade. The blaze had
gained too much Roadway, however,
and the station was soon mass of
ruins
While engaged in fighting the fire
several men uOtlceu the Douy VI the
operator seated at the telegraph Ia
BILE, but they were unable to enter
| the building, which by that time was
entirely enveloped in flames. AS soon
as the fire died down sufficiently Hut
chinson's body was dragged forth. 1T
was entirly cremated. A bullet hole
through the mans skull showed how
| he had met death.
| Three desperate-looking characters
have been noticed in they icinity OF
of Welcome for several days 1t is
the belief of the police and citizens
that they entered the station, and,
after overpowering Hutchinson. loot
/ ed the place. The intruders, evident
ly believing that they were recogniz-
ed by the operator, murdered him to
remove the means of Identification
and capture.

A Town Convenience.

Only for the farmers, the laborers
and others that comprise the great

OF the towns would have little excuse
for being in business. and the mer-

not well get along without the other.

OUR OWN AMERICAN KINGS.
FARMERS THE BACKBONE OF
COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
Greater Need of Study Of Economic
Principles By the Tillers of the !.
American Farms.

American farmers are the wealth
producers of the nation. In the United
States annually the products of the
farms exceed in value all the gold the
country has produced in score of
years. If the term can be used In a
free republic, the farmers are the
American kings. The results OF their
but. assists in supplying sustenance
for large part of the people of nearly
all lands of the earth. 'Tis the prod
ucts of the farms that give the means
of support to the great railroad sys-
TENS, that keep the thousands of great
steamers plying the oceans, that make
possible the thousands of great enter
prises. While the farmer is among
the most Independent classes of the
land, too often he fails to reap full
reward for the work he has accom-
plished He must fight combine after
combine, and pay taxes to support in
situations from which he receives no
benefit. This is because of the COZ
centration of capital in the hands of
a comparatively few in large financial
centers. But Is not the farmer to
blame for this condition to great
extent? Does he not make it possible
for the concentration of wealth in
large cities? He certainly does lend
his support to the building up Of
trusts, and to capital concentration,
when he fails to patronize enterprises
in his home town, and refuses to help
build up it's industries.
There is penny wise and pound
foolish attitude on the part of farm
ers in many communities that is de-
structive to their own interests. 1t is
seeing profit, quite often purely
imaginary, and in striving to gain 1t
lose sight of the truth that they are
welding the sword that will eventual
ly infiict a serious wound to them
selves. This is the practice of pur-
chasing goods at trade centers distant
from home. Towns and communities
are made wealthy by retaining as
great a part of the earnings of its
people as possible. The larger the
town can be made, the more valuable
becomes the farm located near it, be-
cause the home market is made bet
ter and higher prices are secured for
products.
Money earned by the farmers and
the business men, If retained at home,
generally finds investment in new en-
terprises that give, employment to la
Dor, and add to. the wealth of the
community and assists in lowering tax
alton. On the other hand, when the
earnings of community are sent
away from it, the towns are deadened,
and farm values lowered. taxation is
made greater and the small imagined
gains to those sending away the
profits of their labor react against the
sender, who assists in concentrating
money in large financial centers in the
hands of those who pay no local
taxes Generally the monied powers
of those distant cities dictate to the
farmers what prices shall be received
for the products of their farms, and
to the laborer the compensation he
shall receive for his labor. Is not this
proposition plain?
