LEGAL, NOTICE. The Decree Has gone forth, and the people must be clothed. So don't miss tho place. Ring Smith's Baltimore Clothing House, Ludington House Block. Yours Respectfully, Hfu A.

Coox. Oyster Supper ami Social. The members of the L. G. Library Association, of Ottawa, will give an Oyster Supper next Tuesday evening, for the benefit of their association, in the old store room of Crane Wilkerson, Wasson Block.

Among the attractions offered, in addition to the supper, is good music, charades, etc. An enjoyahle time will be had. The proceeds of the entertainment is ern country, in attempting to read rad ical Republicans out of the party because they favor greenbacks in preference to national bank currency. That gun may kick when they attemrt to fire it Wyandotte Gazette. The policy of the builionists is producing for our people what the policy of the British Government has brought about for the people of that country, where the real estate of the whole of England has, in a comparatively short period, been transferred from 103,000 to owners of the present.

Peter Cooper. Twenty years ago the people of the Methodist church at the town of Ma-quoketa, Iowa, wanted a bell. They raised the amount of $73, but it was found that the tower would not stand the weight of the bell. Mrs. Northop was treasurer.

Numerous attempts were made to get the money, but she held on to it religiously. She said it was for a bell, and for no other purpose would she give it up. The money has shipped from that vicinity, and among them many cows. The Nationalist advises farmers to hold on to their eows. The large amount of potatoes grown in Republic county, says the Belleville Republic, is nearly all secured in good shape.

Four hundred bushels to the acre is not an unusual yield. Mr. Fred Johnson, of Freedom township, Republic county, had his arm caught in a threshing machine, last Wednesday, and torn off between the shonlder and eIlow. Th? potato crop is so large and the price of the products so low in Washington county that many of the farmers are letting them rot in the fields. So says the Marshall County News.

Is it possible that the grasshoppers have been so soon forgotten. An excursion party composed of editorial quill drivers from Western Virginia, went out to the sunset end of the T. S. F. road last week, and were duly honored at the towns and cities where they landed.

Overcoats at Hing Smith's. Only 2G votes against amendments to constitution in this county. Special attention paid to cutting.at Iting Smith's. The first freeze of the season, Thursday night. Latesi styles of hats and caps at Iiing Smith's.

The best place to get your boots and shoes, is at E. D. Hali.s. Gents furnishing goods, neckties, collars, at Ring Smith's. There is a squad of soldiers camped near the dep't.

They are awaiting orders. Take your fall clothing to Charley Schober, and get them cleaned and repaired. Rev. A. C.

Peck will preach in the Congregational Church next Sunday morning. All are invited. The pers i who "borrowed" a half bushel measure from one of our merchants, will save costs by returning it. For good fresh bread, crackers, cakes, groceries and lunch, go to Pier-sol Guy's. W.

E. Smith has some of the nicest cider in town the famous Michigan. Good wagon to trade for anything, from an elephant down to a hound pup. Inquire of John Z. Dysert.

Mr. Parnienter was having his corn shelled, and loaded on the cars yesterday. The fire engine was out this week, pumping the water out of a Main street cellar. Farmers will save money in marketing their corn, by having it shelled by John Eshklmax, Near Ottawa. "We re-publish the table of the official vote of last year, so that our readers can compare the vote then with that of this fall.

All persons knowing themselves in debted to us, either by note or book account, will please call and settle at once, and save cost.

Moore Sc Watson, Mr. John Eshelman's corn sheller has been furnishing a theme for the youth of our town, for the past two days. It is located on corner of 4th and Main street. The horizon is aglow with the reflection of prairie fires, these fine evenings. Somebod3 is losing heavily by them, as the grass was unusually luxuriant this last season, and of course makes a hot fire.

The Lyndon Times (Osage county) feels happy over the success of the Reform ticket, which it supported, while the Osage City and Iiurlingatne papers supported the Republican ticket. Glad you won, boys. The forty odd thousand dollars that has been paid out during the past month for beans, in this county, has been a great blessing to this community, enabling many to pay oil" their liabilities. The Ladies of tho Methodist Church will give an Oyster Supper at the church to-day (Friday) evening. Hot coTee, roils and all the delicacies of the season.

A general invitation is extended to all. Mrs. Lid a Covertson, of life insurance fame (Rrant Boaehy will remember the name), was married to Mr. John Williams last Tuesday night at the residence of Jesse jdgers, near Williamsburg. Having purchased new material, we are prepared to execute the neatest of Job Work, and at prices corresponding with the times.

Call and see us in our new quarters east side of Main street, ground floor, opposite the Whetstone block. Tom Earnest, son of our townsman, Peter Earnest, is back from the mountains, having been gone several months. Tom raised his first beard while a way and when he put in an appearance last Monday, the boys didn't hardly recognize him, he looked so hearty and rugged. He is going back in the spring. The finest suits of gents clothing ever manufactured in the city, or even worn by men in it, have recently been cut and made by Ring fc Smith's new cutter -Mr.

Clayton. This gentlemen is acknowledged to be the best cutter in the West, and it is only necessary to see some of his suits. Particular attention is called to the elegant suits you see on our young men in the city. They are the work of this establishment. A newspaper is a window through which men look out on all that is going on in the world; without a newspaper a man is shut in a small room and knows little or nothing of what is happening outside of himself.

In our day the newspapers keep pice with history and record it. A newspaper will keep a sensible man in sympathy with the werld's current history. It is an unfolding encyclopedia, an unbound book forever issuing and never finished. An exchange gives its readers the following sensible "Let every man who owes a debt to his neighbor pay something on it, and thus put money into circulation. In times" like these some people take unfair ad vantage and refuse to pay little debts that they are perfectly able to settle.

Such a course only makes matters worse. The payment of a single debt often results in the payment of a dozen more with the same money. Men should help one another in hard times, and To A. It. Ptotir, C.

Baldwin Forest Mills, Ottawa Iouble Wedding-. The event of the season took place last Tuesday evening. It was the marriage of Mr. Edwin M. Sheldon and Miss Emma Eider, and Mr.

Milo It. Harris and Miss May Sharpe. The parties are all old and highly esteemed residents of our city. The ceremony was performed at the Presbyterian church, in the presence of over two hundred of the friends of the contracting parties. Rev.

J. C. Milner officiated for Mr. Sheldon and Miss Elder, after the short form of his church, with Rev. A.

C. Peck officiating for Mr. Harris and Miss Sharpe, after the more impressive and lengthy Episcopal ceremony. The brides and grooms both looked handsome, in their wedding outfits, which were evidently gotten up regardless of labor or exp3uso as is usual on such occasions. It is customary to say to the bride, 'I wish you and to the husband, 'I wish you forgetting that men suffer and grow strong, and women sorrow and become saintly.

But it is in the crucible of trouble that hearts are purified. It is tho battle, not the bivouac, that the soldier to deeds of heroism the. skillful navigator animres his experience in storms rather than in sunshine and men's views are broadened, and women's hearts are softened, and the lives of both made perfect by adversity not by unalloyed pleasure and prosperity. In departing from the set phrase of congratulations, we wish for these young couples that their lives may be ordered by Infinite Wisdom, giving only the measure of adversity necessary to develope the best that is in them. May they realize early that tire formal annunciation of the marriage rite is but the beginning of marriage that years of thoughtful study and self-denial are necessary to mould their characters to each other, and blond their lives into the harmonious fruition of the sacred vows they have just solemnized.

May whatever of trouble or sorrow or misfortune that falls to their lot, only serve to draw the bonds of love and confidence more closely about' them. May their years bo filled with good deeds, and their lives crowned with that intellectual and moral success which, well won, is more honorable than the laurel wreath. KANSAS.

The Thayer Headlight calls attention to the fact that Mr. Frank Helley has been shipping wheat north over the L.

Bv order of the Committee. HOME COMFORT. How to 3Iake it, and T7hcn it it is made, will keep Peace in the Family Read tiny, and it will do you Good. In cold countries, at certain seasons of the year, the all-absorbing subject of the hour is, how to get the most heat for the least money. During the inflated period of war times, not much attention was given to this matter.

But now that we are gradually approaching the level of hard money values, it becomes a mattccof serious consideration to the masses how to make one dollar conduce as much to their comfort and convenience as two dollars would in more prosperous- -days. True economy docs not consist in going without the conveniences and comforts we desire, so much as it does in placing the little we have where it will do the most good. To obtain comfort at home we must have a good stove, and "The Rotary," of the Cleveland Co-operative Stove whom Ottawa's popular stove and tinware dealer, S. D. Smith, is sole agent in this county, is just the thing one needs, for it is eminently conducive to both comfort and happiness.

In every sense of the word it is a first-class stove.and entitled to the confidence and consideration of the public. As a soft coal ba.se-burner it has no equal and is tho nc pliis ultra of the household. Besides its heating qualities, it is the most economical and. durable soft coal stove in the world is a beauty economical of space and fuel unequaled for retaining fire, and easilv controlled. It is also the only stove made having Baldwin' patent Gas Damper, an entire preventative against the escape of gas or smoke into the room burns our soft coal with the same freedom the hard coal burners do the hard- coal; and the onl- base burner having convenience for toasting or broiling.

Wherever exhibited, it carries away the blue ribbon, as the following associations where it took the first premium will testify: First premium at the Illinois State Fair at the Great Central Fair, in Peoria at the I'nion Fair, in Wenona Union Fair, Ottum-wa, Iowa Northern Ohio Fair, Cleveland, O. Union Fair, Connorsville, and others, loth State and county, too numerous to mention. Whenever you want a 1 renting stove (or any other kind) don't fail to call on Mr. Smith, west side of Main street, between 1st and 2d streets, and procure a "Rotary." Mr. Smith also keeps a full stock of other stoves, and is agent for the famous Charter Oak stove, besides having a full stock of tinware, etc.

The work of clearing away the rubbish ami preparing to rebuild is being pushed with energy. The Ophir and Consolidated companies have large numbers of men employed in roparing machinery and preparing to rebuild. The latter has tcm million feet of lumber on hand. The railroae tunnel will be open by tomorrow so that material can be had and then the Ophir will set 500 men to work and the Consolidated Virginia S00. Very few castings will be needed.

There i3 no gas or fire or appreciable amount of water in the Ophir, Consolidated Virginia, California, Gould Curry, Savage, or Hale Noreross. The reservoir tapped the Consolidated Virginia from which a large amount of water flowed into the mines named has been exhausted, and trouble from that source is ended. Sacramento Bee. Our fi actional currency has been actually contracted about one-fourth since October 31st, 1S74, and at the present rate it will become sufficiently scarce in six months' times to justify the introduction of silver small coin. Whether the corn will remain in the hands of the people, or whether we shall again have to resort to postn.ge stamps and business cards inscribed "Good for 25 cents John Smith," as in the early days of the war, remains to be seen.

But if the worst comes, we should reflect that a scarcity of small change has its compensations. For instance, if you tender a horse-car conductor a five dollar note in payment of fare, and the horse-car conductor has 110 change, he is obliged to carry you to the end of the route scot free. Thus, in the course of twenty -four hours, a man may be able to pay his car fare and keep himself in cigars, daily papers, and beer with a iiv dollnr bill, aud have the bill left when he retires to rest at night. Go on with your contraction. L'ldcogo Times.

How They Have Managed. Through Mr. McCullough, (who went into office as Secretary of the Treasurer a poor man, and established a London bank as soon as be left it), the republican or Grant party first contracted the currency question. Then they made a law paying bonds in gold, when the law under which they were issued made them payable in greenbacks. Then they recalled seven-thirty and ten-forty bonds, so as to have the whole debt funded in gold bonds.

Then they ordered the purchase of silver to redeem the fractional currency. Then they passed a law agreeing to never taxthe lxmds. Then they paid national banks gold interest on bonds, and, besides, allowed them to issue bank notes and make more interest out of the monopoly of discounting them. Then they depressed real estate and the price of products, and all values, by contracting the currency. Then appreciated gold in tho hands of monopolists by threatening the resumption they knew was impracticable.

Then they ordered the issuance of more gold-interest bearing rag money to buy up rag money that bears 110 interest, and consequently not a burden on the people. They have from first to last encouraged coupon clipping and discouraged production. They have contracted the life out of industrial enterprise, and thrown thousands of willing workers men, women and children out of employment. They have depreciated the only currency the people have, without the shadow of a provision for other cur-reucv. Xaxhville American, Superior Land Cheap.
