Sears & ROebuCk
HAYNES & TAYLOR

"Do you know how Sears, Roebuck
& Co. started business?r Asked Ian
dition, the editor Of the Norton County
(Kan.) News. Il worked for them
nine years ago. | knew Sears when he
was a station agent at Wisconsin, and
Roebuck when he was a match peddler,
One time RoebUck wanted TO 60 to
Milwaukee and did not have the money,
so he left a watch with Sears for secu-
rity Tor las fare, telling him that If he
should be able to sell il for more than
six dollars he might keep half what he
made. Sears sold the watch for $40.
Then Sears wrote to Roebuck and got
him TO send by express dozen watches
TO Bill Jones, Sam Smith and lot Of
fititious names. These watches were
billed out at SOS and $40 paid on them,
apparently. Sears unloaded these
watches on friends easily at SIS each,
which cost him and Roebuck $3.50.
But the railroad got onto the game and
fired Sears. and then the two Of them
opened an Office in Milwaukee. They
bought thousand watches and shipped
them by express to every express Office
in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. These
watches cost 50, but they sold as S25
watches, and were marked $1,000 paid
to icitions names. When the agent
reported such watch back as undeliver-
ed, this pair would write back that
some mistake must surely be made,
but as a payment Of $40 had been made
on the watch, they would allow the
agent commission Of 81 to secure the
other SIS.
Well, the watch scheme worked fine
and the pair cleaned up $4,000 clear.
Then they bought a lot Of parlor sets
for children and advertised them. giving
the impression that you would receive
a full set Of furniture for s., and the
people bit all over the country.
Uncle Sam has stopped Sears. times
for fake deals like this. but has never
been able to catch them. Sears is
probably worth Roebuek & Co.'S mail
fourteen. nine or ten millions. while
Roebuck II working in Des Moines at
SIS per week, being forced out Of the
business several years ago.
As an illustration Of how this firm
makes money, about a year ago they
bought 1900 Bicycles. all the the wheel.
which cost them $3.50, and they sold
them for sl275, sl625 and S2l.5O.
The same wheel, mind, with possibly
n different color Of paint, but the only
difference was that some wanted a
s2i.50 wheel, while others wanted a
si275 wheel. and they all got what
they wanted.
They work the same graft on .loth.
Ing. In catalogues they advertise clay
wortsted at sl250. SIS and SIS. No
matter what you pay you get the suit.
The name. Sears, Roebuck 4 Co, is
their trade mark. Roebuek has been
bankrupt several years. and yet these
people have been so successful in steal.
ing from the public such large sums. !,
Is wonder Uncle Sam allows them "a

ELECTION TODAY.

The election will be held today on
the question Of aholishin" the com
miSsioncrS of public works and de-
volvn= their duties upon the city
council. This election is in accord
ancc with the provisions Of an act
passed by the last legislature, a copy
of which The Herald and News has
printed twice. 1t is a question for
the people to determine for them
selves by their ballots today.
In the event the commissioners are
abolished, the new act provides for
quarterly statements to be published
by the treasurer of receipts and dis
burScmcnts and also for the books Of
the treasurer to be audited scmi-an-
mally by an expert accountant.

| chmc, the old doctor ascendcd the

folded the roll of the congregation.
To the utter amazement of every
body, he began with the theological
shepherd, John Scott. Up started the
man, a tall, gaunt, sm-burnt figure,
with his maud over his shoulder, his
broad blue bonnet on the board in

determination on his face rs showed
how sure he felt Of the issue of the
logical encounter to which he believ-

examination to be followed with this
pugnacious thcologian, looked at him
calmly for few moments, and then
in gentle voice asked, "Wha made

The shepherd, prepared for ques-

by being asked what every child in

PENNSYLVANIA NERVE.

The Philadelphia Press, edited by
a man who knows better, speaks of
the $S7,000,00O surplus revenue
wrung from the taxpayers as
source Of genuine congratulation,"
and then says: The fact that half
the entire revenue was put into Un-
Gle Sans pockets by forei .ncrs who
had goods to sell ii America is
factor OF especial in ere It.
We had suppose t at this men
dacious claim t1at the aiol eigner
pays the tariff" was now confined
to the benighted re5iyns Of the
backwoCds stump; but here it comes
again, in a newspaper edited by a
man of ability and experience, who
has served as our minister to Rus
sia and as postma ,ter-general.
If II be true that the $333,009,.
600 collected in customs duties at
our ports last y ar was "put into
Uncle Sans pockets by foreigners,
why do we have any ether kind of
taxes?. Why not make the defence
less foreigners who "have goods to
sell" pay all our national expenses ?
Why censure a billion d liar Con-
gress as extravagant? Since the for
eigners pay half of it, and can be
made to pay it all, why not spend
$2,O00,O0O,00O? And "a surplus Of
$87 100000 is source Of genuine
congratulations" why not double the
joy. by squeezing from the helpless
foreigners $1OO,OO0,0OO more Of un-
necessary revenue? AS sapient
Republican candidate once observed:
"It is easier to handle a surplus
than a deficiency" Double the sur
plus by giving another turn to the
screws by which we extract third
of $1,000,OO0,0O0 in a year from
foreigners with goods to SELL"
How many of the people are
fooled by such mossgrown fallacies
as that put forth by the Philadel-
phia Press ?-Boston Herald.

For so long cas- sharks and ants

dom from all restraint or prOhibi-
ton, immunity from all punishment
this is the condi ion which is
called anarchy. But this ideal con-
dition can only be realized by means
of wealth, great wealth. The para
disc of absolute freedom, of perfect
anarchy, is inhabited only by the
very rich, its portals are opened on
ly to them, and the only credential
card required is a large bank bal
ance. Only miliionaires are anar-
chists.
Are we then to condemn all law
as unjust in its nature and in its
operations Is it Inherent in the ma
ture of law that it should bear
harshly upon the poor and allow the
rich to escape its barden9 No one
who has learned to observe uld
make that assertion.
We are surrounded by laws, phv-
s cal and moral, and the very princi
pie of our life is subm ssion to law.
Law gulates the conduct Of men as
well as the movements of the STAR
and the infraction of the laws of
conduct must result in p punishment as
well as the violation cf physical laws.
Claw is the reason Of life, and rea-
son is the life Of law
But the test of ason is eternal
Justice Only those laws can be i'm
parative to reason which are just.
To quote Henry Ward Beecher, -
law is valuable not because it is a
law, but because there is right III
it, The fact that certain rue of
conduct obtains the force Of law by
formal enactment does not make it
sacred. We must not be deceived
by the name. Every pest and para
site lives according to law. The cancer
has its laws as well as the healthy Or
ganism, but they are blighting and
deadly laws. There are laws of deca-
dence as well as laws of growth, but
only the laws of growth are binding
to the reason Of an intelligent being,
We evade and circumvent natures
laws when they oppose us or would
injure us.
Any law which tends to build up
a part Of any organism at the ex-
pense Of the whole is a pernicious
law; and any law which tends to en-
large or enrich part Of commun
ity or social organism at the expense
of any other part is a dangerous
law. Society is an organism which
must progress as whole or perish
as whole, and in the struggle Which
goes on between the several interests,
the law, to be good and wholesome
law, must preserve the just balance.
The moment it begins to discrimi-
nate in favor of one interest and
against another, that moment it be-
comes bad law.
The laws as they are today make
anarchists. They should be so
modified that anarchists cannot ex-
st. The sting Of injustice must be

A Japanese Statement.

We shall be frank about tive shall
say that we are carrying things with a
high hand in Korea. We have gone
over into the back yard of our neighbor,
and are telling him to kindly move on
simply because we need his home. We
are doing this Just as the Americans
have done to the Indians, the rightful
owners of America just as the British
have done to the Hindus; just as the
Russians have done to the Tartars and
the Chinese; as Germany in Africa, and
Kiau Chau and France in Cochin China
and northern Africa have done. Nippon
has joined the household of great
powers; she has become civilized.
When England absorbed India, her
home isles contained about 10000, ZOO
people; when Russia played her clever
game, through Muraviev, and ran away
with the treaty of Aigun and with
Siberia, she was supporting about $1,000
900 people on her five million square
miles; when Kaiser Wilhelm heard from
the gods of his ancestors that he was to
be the military Emmanuel to the benight-
ed African races, and forthwith went
down there TO establish an empire in the
name of ali the Christian virtues, Ger
many bad less than 40, 100000 people on
20S,S3O square miles. Now Nippon goes
over to Korea. She is supporting about
so 10000 people on about 100000 square
miles, of which the possible arabic land
is less than 20 per cent, and the actual
cultivation is 1873 per cent, that is tc
say, about 100000 acres. She has

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Prepare il at Home BY Shaking
Well in a Bottle.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he has
found positive remedy to cure almost
any case of backacce or kidney or blad-
der arrangement in the following sim
pie prescription, if taken before the stage
of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime.
A ell-known druggist here at home.
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all harm
less, and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up if asked
to do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be a splendid remedy for kid
ney and urinary troubles and backache,
as 1t has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most inn
portant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving it
trial.

Vermont as a Field for
Savings Bank InVestme Ell t.

The best evidence that thing can
be done is the fact that somebody
does it. The fact that the Hyde Park
Savings Bank finds abundant opportu-
nifty for investing its funds in Vermont,
proves the fallacy of the theory that
Banks must send their money out west
The Windsor Journal says along this
line:
Ex-Gov. Carroll S. Page of Vermont is re-.
ceiving many congratulations, these days,
upon the success of the Lamoille County
Savings Bank at Hyde Park of which he has
been president from its organization. From
the beginning all of its resources have been
invested in Vermont, thus demonstrating that
the home field affords abundant opportunity
for legitimate investments. The Journal Joins
in congratulations.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM
pounded semi-annually on deposits of
500 or more remaining in the bank
one full year.
