"YOU CANT DO IT. "
When wo came to Omaha to intro
duce the DUKE OF DURHAM Ci-
jrarctte , sonri people said , "You can't
do it , " as so many others have tried
it and failed , mid the trade are dis
gusted , etc. Wo never had any doubt
that the DUKE OF DURHAM Cigarette -
otto would meet with popular favor
and sell rapidly , knowing it to bo
made df the BEST North Carolina
Tobacco , wrapped with the BE-VT nco
paper , and AIJSOLUTKIA" frco of
DRUGS. You BCO , wo give consumers
credit for knowing a good thing when
they have tried it , and then wo
thousjhtlnw comfortable the fooling
( when enjoying a leisure smoke ) TO
KNOW that you are not absorbing
injurious drug ) .
Wo are mutually interestedAjm this
matter of puru Cigarettes. If the
DUKE OF DURHAM are tju- PUR
EST nnd BEST , of course , ! will
continue to use them ; if not , yon
wont. So wo concluded to call your
attention to tljem through the nows-
papcrs and toll you frankly all about
thorn , and induce you to try them and
then lot them speak for themselves.
IVo know those are pleased who have
tried them , aa they continue to buy
thorn , and wo are getting most flatter
ing reports from dealora as well aa con
sumers. Wo promised moro roporta
from ( Jealers yesterday , but wo mot
with ono who cooled pur ardor tem
porarily. Guess it will bo no harm to
tell what he said , but wo withhold his
name , street und number.
, 'Haven't got them ; don't want
them , and shall not keep.them. Can
buy and Cigarettes for
50c per 1,000 less and Cigarettes
for § 1 per 1,000 less than the DUKE ,
and I can retail them at aamo price of
tlio Duko. "
AVoli , wo have somewhat , recovered ,
and since we have thought the mutter
over don't feel much worried , as ho
doesn't ' sel'ininyand | hia limitod'sa'os
will not affect ns much. Wo appro-
bond that it'a because ho docs not
keep the bost.but instead tries to palm
off nn inferior article at same price ,
that his trade is BO small. With this
exception , wo find most of thu trade
disposed to handle the DUKE OF
DURHAM Cigarottoa and Tobacco
becauio they ARK the BEST and
PUREST on the market.
Consumer , if you have not tried
them yet , you should drop in the
first store and buy a package.

It has bean the nubjcct of comment
by the oldest inhabitant , that he has
never before aeon Washington so
without members of congress during
the holidays. This goueral exodus is
duo in the main to the increased fa
cilities and comforts for winter travel ,
which bus been introduced , in the
past few years. With the exception of
the gentleman from Oregon , there is
not a member who could not'reach
homo and return. It is not surpris
ing that with thu comfortable palace

ing themselves of the oppor
tunity , to remaining hero with
little or nothing to do.
TUB I.OWKU DKl'AUTSIRNTS ,
as the postollico and interior depart

nothing baa been done , owin to thu
uncertainty that prevailed as to who

certainty has bocn removed aa to ono
department , and Hon. T. O Howe
will , it is believed , bo sworn in aa
postmaster general on the 2d ot Janu
ary. At present Postmaster General
James is away spending the holidays
in Now York. First Assistant Iluttun
has gone to his Iowa homo tor the
holidays , leaving Second Assistant
Elmoro in charge. Secretary Kirk-
wood's tenure of oflieo in the interior
department is well nigji run , and the
best informod-sources ira'mo Hon. A.
A. Sargent , Formerly senator from
California , as his successor. A num
ber of vacancies exist in the depart
ment to bo filled upon the appoint
ment of a secretary. The commis
sioner of railroads is now temporarily
filled by Assistant Attorney General
McCammon ; the ollico pays 8tf > 00

patent ollice , owing to the recent resig
nation of Commissioner Marble.
For both positions there are numer
ous applicants. Several vacancies ex
ist in the board of Indian commission
ers , which are , however , but honorary
positions. The census oflice , which
is attached to this department , has so
nearly completed its work that a goii

UHADINO , Pa. , December 25. The
graveyard insurance business of Kuat-
urn Pennsylvania is dying out because
of the failure of many of the friuulu-
lent organizations to pay tlioir death
losses. In this county alone there
linvo boon put in operation thirty 6f
thoao fraiulufuut companies , nnd aomu
of thorn paid but tivo dollars upon
policies of n thousand , and after
deaths hnvo actually figured thuir
policy holders into their debt. Thus.
Iloydt , nn influential citir.cn nnd
prominent poliiician nf District town *
ship , this county , has been vury badly
swindled. Mr. Iloydt i a rotiroil
farmer residing near lleydtstown ,
a celebrated tavern in Eastern
Berks county , midway between Head
ing and Allontown. Uo held policies
on a number of people from 80 to 85
'years ' of ago , amounting in all to S. > 0-
' 000. Ilia assessments averaged on
jthcao $ 150 per month , .ind often
reached § 50 per wook. Being wealthy ,
ho paid his asscssmontn promptly un
til they had reached the sum of sev
eral thousand dollars , when ho begun
to grow uneasy about the returns.
The other dny one of his risks expired ,
the subject dying at the ago of 8. ) .
Mr. Iloydt had $4,000 in this policy
and had paid assessments upon it for
live months , and two weeks after the
death the insurance company made
some technical objection to a settle
ment , and these grow so exasperat
ing that nt last Mr. Iloydt ,
taking witnesses to establish thu
death , went to Lainsburg , hoadquir-
tora of thu company , to collect Jiin
claim. The company was the Penn
sylvania Mutual Insurance company ,
und after Iloydt'a board bill had run
beyond that sum , the otl'tco of the
company gave him $197 in full for his
claim. The settlement opened his
eyes , and lie started nn investigation
which convinced him ho had fallen
into the trap of a eiganlic swindle ,
and ho determined to publicly expoao
the whole business , nnd burn bis re
maining policies. Upon his return
borne he sent out invitations to all
persons hu know who had been invest
ing in graveyard policies to attend a
meetingjbfor the purpose of bear
ing tho'Btory of his experience. The
discussion which it engendered
opened the eyes of hundreds who were
Dwindled and his invitations wore for
mally accepted by scores. When the
nrran emeiita for the meeting wore
concluded it was determined to have
nt the tavern a grand cremation of
fraudulent policies with proper cere
monies and such full exposure of the
graveyard insurance business as might
crush it out forever. The committee
of arrangements found reason to believe -
liovo that policies amounting to 2-
000,000 would bo surrendered for ere'
mation. The features of the demon
stration were canvassed in all adjoin
ing counties nnd every possible thiiifj
was done to make it successful
fatted bullock was bough I
by subscription by the swindled
policy holders and was roasted , pnrtol
the feast to bo served to the assembled
mourners. Yesterday morning all
roads leading tollcydt's were thronged
for miles with people afoot und in nl
sorts of vehicles , making their way t <
the insurance funeral. At noon then
were assembled delegations fron
Herlca , Lohigli , Northampton am
Montgomery coudties , nnd from tin
cities of Heading , Aliunlowii and
L.uiciiitor , and from nearly every vil
lage in Southeastern Pennsylvania
Soon after two o'clock u number o

I luffs churc'i , two miles away , ar
rived with n cornet bun
at thuir head. Four blncl
horses gaily companioned drew th (
chariot , and in the rear followed i
long procession of vehicles. Tin

prolonged and loud. A meeting wni

OIIIOAOO , Docombcr 25. Notwithstanding -
standing aomo rnthor serious draw
backs , Chicago has experienced an
other remarkably successful week and
the amount of husinoM transacted In
the majority of the prominent depart
ments of commerce 1ms greatly ex
ceeded nny previous year in the history
of the western metropolis , The banks
and the Chicago stock board hare
greatly enlarged their operations , while
the real estate Intoreiils luvo taken a
boom that has astonished thu most
aanguino. To a vary large extent the
prosperity has been perfectly legiti
mate , and a tendency toward conservative
vative methods of doing business 1ms
been steadily increasing over since the
memorable 18711 In thu general mer
cantile trade of the city there has
boon a noticcad bsonco of the rash anoc-
nlation of aomo former years. The
increased aatcs of the great ntnplo ar
ticles of life , endi as dry goods , gro
ceries , lumber , etc. , have bocn mainly
duo to an increase in consumption , for
the vast western country bus buen in
creasing HH population enormously.
In thu banking line , the patronage
enjoyed has nlso undergone a nub-
ttlantial increase. During the twelve
months ending the 1st of last October
the deposits of thu national banks
Imvo increased from $ Mt > 0\15r ( , in
1880. to $0(5 ( 57G.2H ; in 1881. On
October last the deposits of the banks
belonging to the clearing house wore
80liOi,8U2 : ! : in oxcoas of the amount
returned on the same dnto of 1880 ,
the nggrogato Ikniroa being SJt > 0-17lV
708 in 1881 , as against § 59,075,800 , in
1880. The clearings so far for th
year 1831 were 82.190,011,081' ,
against Sl,72o , < ! 8V-2J : for 1830 , and
the balances $ i03filKi,4-M ! against
01 7,4n ,4H4 for the your 1880.
In the grain trade the business was
by no means discouraging , though
the nggrogiito amounts will ahow n
falling oil'of twenty million buahols ,
but as the receipts last year wore
specially largo , this reduction can in
no wise bo construed an unfavorable
for the city or its future trade. With
thosinglo exception of 1880 the arri
vals in 1881 were the heaviest in the
history of the city.
Local puckers and the general trade
in the hog product Imvo hud many un
favorable intluoncos to contend with
during 1881 in the prosecution of
thuir business , but they have met
them in good spirit and are able to
close the year with no loss of ground.
A falling oil' in the supply of hogs , ns
compared with preceding years , very
naturally reduced the number slaugh
tered nnd makoa the returns less grat
ifying Ha far us magnitude- con
cerned. The receipts for the year include -
cludo 1,474720 cattle , l ,400,7 , 7
hogs and 48,79r ! ) > sheep. There were
1,305,000 hogs slaughtered during tin
year. The killing capacity ia now
