FRANK BLAIR, who made such a hit with Salsbury's Troubadors last year, and who has lately been at the Casino, New York, has been engaged to play the part of Bluebeard. IT has been discovered that sunflower seeds are an irresistible bait for rats. In their mad craze for this food the rodents lose their cunning and crowd into traps containing it, although warned by the fate of their predecessors.

V JAY VAN SLYKE, P. M. "A WILD story comes from Naperville to the effect that a monster snake, said by some to b<? at least thirty feet long, has been seen in that vicinity. One man who was mowing hay said that the snake glided slowly by him with its head raised at least three feet from the ground and disappeared in the tall grass. Many farmers have lost calves, pigs, etc., and they attribute their loss to this monster serpent. Many attempts have been made to capture the intruder, but so far the hunters have been unsuccessful." We wonder what kind of water they're drink­ ing down at Naperville. THE trotting stallion, GeorgeC)., 9701, record, 2:26, owned by Geo. W.

He won the first heat on a jog in 2:30%, and could easily have lowered his record oue second and won the race in one, two, three or­ der, but in the second heat he broke a blood vessel, after which his owner would not let him be driven fast, fearing it would permanently disable him, but will start him again this week at Mendota, 111., in the free-for-all. Watch results. George O. trotted the first half mile at Cambridge in 1:12 easily. ED. GRANGER, youngest son of F. K? Granger, met with quite a serious acci­ dent one day the latter part of last week. He was riding one of their young car­ riage mares, which becoming unmanagea­ ble ran at lightning speed down the street. In turning the corner near Sheid's Blacksmith Shop, the mare fell upon her side, catching one of Ed's legs under her, bruising it in a fearful manner, but fortu­ nately breaking no bones. It is almost a miracle that his leg was not ground to pieces. He has been unable to stepson his foot since, but is daily improving. Ed. says he likes to ride fast but had a little rather not "walk off on his car" in 1 to learn of the sudden and unexpected death, in Chicago, of George McOmber, the eldest son of the late John McOmber, of this village. We learn that he had been unwell for some time, but no one for a moment thought he was in a danger­ ous condition. About a week ago he was taken worse and died on Monday evening. He was just past 21 years of age, and was a young man of a bright and cheerful disposition and loved and respected by his friends and associates. His remains were brought to this village on Tuesday evening and buried from the residence of his mother at 11 o'clock ^to-day. His mother, sisters and brother have the heartfelt sympathy of the en­ tire community in their sad bereave? ri\eut. • 71 Devil'aLake, Wis.

IT has been said that a man" without an enemy is like unto a woman without a looking glass, which means that the enemy and the looking glass both tell you the truth. A good, lionet, well organized enemy and a good glass are fine things to have around. The faults and blemishes, the wrinkles and the foot­ prints of time, a plague spot <on your reputation, or a pimple on the end of your nose, are never inventoried at a dis­ count. How is anybody to know that they are growing mean, selfish, and un- regenerate, grey-haired and squint-eyed? Enemies are like boils--healthy to have. Everybody of any account has them; that is, unless you are a born idiot. Oh, well, we "ha.il all be bald a hundred years hence. • *# THE common name for the new medi­ cine for producing sleep is sulfonal. Its chemical is diiethylsulfondimeehylmethan It is used in this manner: Th<. name is written on a strip of paper, and the pa­ tient is required to pronounce the word.

FITZSIMMONS & HENDERSON call the at­ tention of the buying public this week to their stock of fall goods just received, which they cure quoting at prices to suit the times. Their stock is large and com­ plete in every department, and i% will pay the buying public to call and investigate. Read their new advertisement. WE are again under obligations to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schnorr for a beautiful Boquet, left at ;our residence. Mr. and Mrs, Schnorr certainly have the finest flower garden in this village, and they take great' pleasure in making their friends happy by being recipients of their beautiful flowers. They will please accept the heartfelt thanks of the editoyand his better half. MRS HELRK SLATER will give a Lecture in the City Hall, in this village, on Tues­ day evening next, September 10th. Subject. "Sights and Scenes in Florida." Mrs plater wili be remembered as the lady taught a German class in this village ring, and those who have heard this Lecture say that it is a very inter­ esting, instructive andamusing ones. We bespeak for her a full house on Tuesday evemiig next. A man, or woman either, can set a hen, although they cannot sit her; neither can they sit her, although the old hen might sit on them by the hour if they would allow. A man cannot set on the wash bench, but he could set the basin on it, and neither the basin nor the gram­ marians would object. He could sit on the dog's tail if the dog were willing, or he might set his foot on it. But if he should set on the aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the grammarians as well as the dog would howl. And yet strange as it may seem, the man might set the tail aside and then sit down, and neither be assailed by the dog nor the grammarians. SEVERAL of our clothing and boot and shoe dealers werp victimized a few days ago by a swindler who made a light pur­ chase, not taking the goods at the time, but having them laid aside to be called for later. On Saturday evening he came around and presented in each case a forged check for f 11.75, signed R. Fritz & Co., receiving the balance in money. The forgeries were not discovered until the following Monday, which enabled the swindler to get safely away with his good 8 and probably $40 to $50 in "change." This was rather of a smooth- working swindle, as the merchants sup­ posed he was some employe at the brick­ yard who had got paid off after banking hours, and had no hesitation in cashing the check. It is a game that will very likely be tried in other places. Exchanges should make a note of it.--Iiehidore Standard. ____________________ DEVIL'S LAKE, WIS. , If you wish to see some of the grandest scenery on the continent, go on the ex­ cursion to Devil's Lake, Wednesday, Sept. 11th.

The editor in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and in all fairness, man with man, he ought to be supported, not because you may happen to like him or admire his writings, but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make. It may not be brilliant, or crowd­ ed with more thoughts, but financially it is of more benefit to the community than the teacher or preacher.

Some excitement prevailed in town on Friday evening over a brilliant blaze in the west, the supposition being that R. B»?gun's residence was in flames. A number drove with all speed for the scene of the fire' when it was discovered to be only a straw stack which had been fired on account of its containing mus­ tard. It is said that Hebron will soon have three millinery establishments. Mrs. Tor boss has rented rooms above the meat market and will put in a stock of goods this fall, and a friend of Mrs. iironzo intends opening a millinery store in town. Our horsemen will not enter their stock at the Fair this year. They claim it does not pay them, as the premiums ineived wiii not near cover their ex- itenses. This is the opinion of many that the premium; on stock is not in accord­ ance with articles of far less value, which after they are entered, require no atten­ tion or expense. The attendance was quite large at the lecture given by Mrs. Helen Slater on Friday evening. The humorous and pa­ thetic description of her life in Florida was interesting throughout, more so to Hebron people than it might be to strangers, as her husband's life, until reaching manhood, .was spent in this vicinity and his friends here were numer­ ous.

Few children can be induced to take physic without a struggle, and no won­ der--most drugs are extremely nauseat­ ing. Ayer's Piils, on the contrary, being sugar-coated, are eagerly swallowed by the little ones, and are, therefore, the favorite family medicine. It is generally conceded that every­ thing displayed at a Fair or placed on Exhibition is of known standard quality and nothing but the best is produced on such occassions. So it will be at Evan- sons Underwear display. The manufact­ urers will see that their best goods only are "on deck." You can buy at less figures after Wednesday noon. JOHN EVANSON & Co. There was a terrible epidemic of dysen­ tery and bloody flux in Pope County, Illinois, last summer. As many as five deaths occurred in one day. Messrs. Walter Brothers, of Waltersburg, sold over 380 bottles of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy during this epidemic and say they never heard of it's failing in any case when the direc­ tions were followed. It was the only medicine used that did cure the worst cases. Many persons were cured by it after the doctors had given them up. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W. Besley.

JOHN EVANSON & Co. A letter from S. P. Wardwell, Boston, says: •'I used Clarke's Extract of Flax (Papillon) Catarrh Cure in June last for Hay Fever with great satisfaction, and find it the only thing I have seen which would allay, without irritation, the in­ flammation of the nostrils and throat. Its soothing and healing properties were marked and immediate." Larga bottle $1. Clarke's Flax Soap is the latest and best. Try it. 25 cents. Ask for them at Geo. W.

During our County Fair at Woodstock, we have arranged to place on Exhibition an elegant line of Underwear in Ladies' and Gents', both all wool and mixed. Also Silk Umbrellas and other Gents' furnishing goods. There are about 500 Dozen Underwear in the lot. The sale of these goods will open Wednesday after­ noon when you may look out for bar­ gains not obtainable elsewhere. Respectfully. JOHN EVANSON & Co. Worth makes the bargain, and want, nf it the cheat, Cristy's prices and his goods are never to be beat. The blood will follow where the knife is driven; The flesh will quiver where the pincers tear; And trade will follow where the merchant 's striven, As Cristy & Son to make their prices fair. .. To trade at Cristy's, means wealth and health:-- Wealth from our cheapness, from our goodness, health. Mat. McCabe, of New Brunswick, 111., offers to pay five dollars to any person troubled with bloody flux, who will take Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and. Diar­ rhoea Remedy according to directions and does not get well in the shortest possible time. One half o a 25 cent bottle of this remedy cured him of bloody flux, after he had tried other medicines and the prescriptions of physicians with­ out benefit. Mr. McCabe is perfectly safe in making his offer, as more than a thousand bottles of this remedy are sold each day and it has never been known to fail in any case of colic, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea or bloody flux, when the plain printed directions were followed.
