OCR CONOKKSSIOMAL OATS-nlDATlS. The recent, attack on Reuben "Eli- wood by the Western Rural, charging him with being a barbed wire monop­ olist. shows to what length prejudice and habit will carry people of acknowl­ edged Judgment. We note with pleas­ ure that the Rural made haste to re* tract its worde and endorse our nomi- ree in strong terms on learning its mistake; but it should have ajade sure of the facts before making its state­ ments. which could easily have been done in the case of n business man so well and favorably known as Mr. Ell- wood. It is the custom of the Western Ru~ ml and many other papers to pander to the ideas of ruralt**<by continually crying out against so oaHfi-d monopo­ lies, and vet, we venture that tiono of •• them or their readers hesitate to sell their productions on the. market for the highest price attainable. Mr. Ellwood is a man of great.. 'ener­ gy anil industr|. He has taken all the risks in building up a large business in the manufacture of agricultural imple­ ments, and is entitled to the profits which are sufficient to insure him against future want. His long expe­ rience with men and his sound business sense, will enable him to represent the Interests of thi& district in a satisfac­ tory manner., All the machines manufactured by the R. Ellwood Manufacturing Co. are the inventions of and covered by pat­ ents issued to its founder. They in­ clude the Ellwood walking and riding corn cultivators, combined or separate; self dumping horse rake; sulky plow: steel tooth harrow; horse powe " and revolving box churn; barrel cart; barn door hangers and track; stay roller?; hitching pest; fence pickets, sleigh shoes, mauls, etcy The inventive genius ot' Mr. Ellwood has been of great benefit to the agri­ culturist, as all his gfiods are the result of practical experience, and every pains is taken in their manufacture to make them durable and efficient. One of the latest of his manufactures is a walking cultivator, made entirely ot iron, wheels and all, and it is meeting with a hearty reception in quarters where that kind of tool is in demand. The business was begun in 1876 with a capital of $25,000, being confined to the manufacture of the Ellwood rid­ ing cultivator, of which 600 were made in that year. Since that time the bus­ iness has increased until the present capital employed amounts to $111,000, The success of the Marsh harvestii,i;j machinery is largely due to Mr. Eli- wood, and he has bten a stock-holder in its manufacture from the start, and has aided its introduction by his influ­ ence and prestige. He was also a prime mover in the construction Of the Sycamore & Cortland Railroad, which connects the handsome City of Sycamore with the Northwestern Railroad system. He is a stock-holder and director in the Sycamore canning and preserving company, which has just completed its works and will be­ gin operations this season. Every movement made by Mr. Ell­ wood lias been a direct benefit to jphe farmers of DeKalb County especially, and tils gratitude is evinced by his popularity everywhere. He will be elected to represent the Fifth Dis­ trict by a large majority.--S^/eamcrt Daily News. man was <$«j8'.aske j how he and his wife got along'with so little friction in the family machinery. "Well," said lie, "when we were first married we both wanted our own way I wanted to sleep on linen sheet, my wife preferred cotton and we couldn't agree. Finally we talked the matter over, and we came to the conclusion that it was unchristian to live in con­ stant bickering; so we compromised on linen, and have got along all right ever since." j (W^How is the soli or Kansas?" Asked one of the group, as the traveler paused. "Richest in the world, sir." was the reply, "l know a New York statesman who went to Kansas seven years ago. with only 815 in cash, and he is now worth 820.000." "Whew! "What did he raise principally?" "I believe it was a check, sir; but they couldn't exactly prove It on him. Think of a soil that will raise a bank- check frorn 890 to 819,000, and in a back­ ward season at that!"

Being Interested fn the operations of some laborers that were at work in the park at Peterhofl, he beckoned one of them who at once ran toward him, but before reaching him fell dead, 6hot by the bentry be­ fore his eyes. The strictest orders had been issued to shoot any one approaching the Czar without leave, and the signal of the Emperor (O the poor victim had not been no­ ticed.

When about to start lor home they took an inventory of their dry goods, which they had left in their wagon, and found that three overcoats were gone, Joe D nvson. Ed, Dassow and Will Mansfield being the losers. N< xt time, boys, take carc of your coats, and remember there are people who will steal, even in these times. Miss Julia Allen, of Elgin, but who formerly resided in this city, died here last Thursday night at the residence of O. Ulakesiee. M iss Allen had come up from Elgin to visit the home and friends of her childhood. She had been failing for some time past quite rapidly, her disease being that great destroyer, consumption, yet it was not considered that site was so near the end of life's journey, but that the change might be beneficial for at least a short time. But it was not to be. Julia was a young lady of more than ordinary intelligence, and was thought much of bv her friends aud acquaintances in this city. So it seems that the genile "Flossie," who is the gifted scribe from Rich­ mond to the "'self-stvled leading pa­ per," the Sentinel, has been taking a va cation, and while enjoying the beauti­ ful, picturesque scenery of the water­ ing places she speaks of in lier latest collision to the Sentinel, site has had a friend who has kept her ported as re­ gards what a couple of very wicked correspondents had to say about her remarks on Eddie Glennon, the Senti­ nel tnashcr. It grieves us sorely to think that "Flossie*' was so troubled while enjoying herself so immensely, by this meddlesome friend, and felt obliged to cut her pleasures short and return home to wri te us up, and after all not to guess within two and one half miles as to who wr are. We do not believe that we have ever had the pleasure of seeing or meeting Flossie, yet we are often in her town and have made an excuse to call at her place of business on more than one occasion, simply to catch a glimpse of the only real newsy correspondent the Sentinel has, but always found her absent. There is one Instance however that we agree with "Flossie" precisely, which is that if the old grandmother that styles it­ self the "leading paper" could induce the correspondent of the Harvard Itide pendent to write some home news fot*s its columns, we should at least get something original and, racy iu that sheet other than the little she sends over from Richmond.
