Red Cloud Merchants Organize for Their Mutual Protection. The retail merchants of Bed Cloud met at the Gardner House last evening and organized a branch of The Retail Merchants Association of Iowa, Neb raska and Kansas. The system in use by this association has for its purpose the protection of retail merchants. A by laws famished bj the general asso ciation was offered and adopted. Thn first Thursday evening of each month was selected as the time for holding the regular monthly meeting, after which the following were chosen as officers: J. L. Miner president, A. Morbart vice president. E. M. Perkins, secre tary, Frank Parker treasurer, F. E. GoUe, Cha. Wiener, G. V. Lindsey. C. L. Getting, G. H. Whitsos, executive bonrd. This association uses no dishonorable mein- to force collections or settle ments, !.ut the merchants propose to eercisa their legal right to refuse credit it a pt-rson who gains the repu tation of uot treating a member of thg association honorably. There is no law compelling merchants to sell their goods on credit. There is no law forbidding merchants refusing credit to anv person they see fit, and whenr. merchant sella hie goods on 1 credit it is as an accommodation, to the consumer, and if such consumer has no appreciation of the favor extended and willfully neglects to make a reasonable and honorable adjustment of his in debtedness, then he should be com pelled to pay as he buys. It is better for him and much more profitable for the merchant, ilany a poor worthy man has been refused credit for the necessities of lite because of the mer chant's unpleasant experience iUh bad debtors, but this system will tend to obviate all that, because the man who docs respect his credit will be known and have a standing among merchants, while the "dead beat1' and others ot his kind will also be known to the mem bers of this association and be abso lutely refused credit, no matter if he moves to another town or state his rep utation as poor pay will follow him and the merchants in such new places of residence will al-o refuse him credit. This association issues no ratings on individuals. It issues a regular and legal Monthly Abstract of unsettled accounts. Each member agrees to for feit twenty dollars to his branch as a penalty, in case he extends credit to a person whose unsettled account appears iti the abstract and no account can ap pear therein until the debtor has had a full and fair opportunity to go to the merchant he owes and in some way arrange such indebtedness. The man who can pay and won't pay and ths man who cannot pay, but will not goto the merchant and state his condition and make effort to arrange, is the per son this association is after. This association does not interfere with the credit of men who deal honor ably, no matter if they are slow; neither does it in any way regulate prices. It sole object is to compel men to be hon est with merchants or to pay spot cash for goods purchased. Something of this kind has been needed for a long time and this system willSrork. "In combination there is strength." The members have the saceees or failare of tbi.a system in their own hands. Wherever merchants have properly combined the system has proven a great success. The west is being carefallv covered by this association, and the merchants in all small towns are vis ited and solicited to join the eoaaty branch.

It was a revolution in Thresh ing Machines, and from a small beginning of five machines in 1858 they soon reached a pro duct of 1,000 yearly. TheirVibratordrovethe"End less Apron" machine out of mar ket, and all other makers copied it as closely as they dared. To day all Threshing Machines of any reputation or merit use the principles of the old Vibrator. Nichols ft Shepard have con tinued in the business without change of name, location, or management; and during the past three years have brought out and developed another new Threshing MachineJbr maia tad seeds,, as superior t all existing machines as their former wasto theEndlessApron. Theyname this new and improved Thresher and predict as great a revolution in the trade, and as complete success over all rivals as they had thirty-one years ago.

Carlyle's present popularity in England is estimated by tho fact that during six moaths 15.000 volumes of a cheap shilling edition of his works have been sold. John Tod, a Scotchman who baa just published in Edinburg a book en titled "Bit. About America," says that American women have great pow er of expressing what they mean. The most expert stenographer in the country is said to be Sirs. Barrows, wife of the editor of the Christian Beg ister. She is able to "take" Carl Schurr's speeches without difficulty. Alexandre Dumas is one of the few wealthy authors in the world. Ha has a magnificent house in Paris fillajl with art treasures. Near Dieppe ha owns a beautiful chalet covered with ivy and decorated on the inside with handsome furniture and rare paint ings. Dumas is sixty-four years af age, but strong and vigorous. Mrs. Dr. B. H. Badley's "Life at Queen Victoria" has already hadthrae thousand copies sold, and another edi tion is ordered. The author hasne eeived the thanks of Queen Victoria' for a copy of the work, and it has been adopted as a text-book in the Ternacular schools of the American Methodist mission in Oudh and BohU Cund. Prof. Edward A. Freeman saya: 'Anglo-Saxon is such a very foolish word that I never use it. I see a reason why the twa branches of the Enf Iish folk should ha called ia tha nineteenth century by an aatiquasad description used far a particular raa soa in characters of the tenth and eleventh centuries and hardly any where else." The encyclopedia published by tha acedesty at FaUn, as far aa bulk ia aoacemed at least, is the largest in tha world, it being composed of 1(0.010 volnaies.
