IfiT'The House of Representatives on Monday decided to make the world's fair bills the special order for Thursday and Friday, the two days to be given up to debate. The House also fixed Monday next as the day for balloting for the se­ lection of a site. . I®" The Congressional Farmer' Insti­ tute Meeting, under the auspices of Illi­ nois State Board of Agricultural for the Fifth Congressional District, Hon. Geo. Reed, Vice President, Belvidere, Illinois, will be held in the Court House at Wauke- gran, 111., Monday and Tuesday February 24th and '25th, 1890. A good pro­ gramme has been prepared and an inter*- t^ffctfng time may be expected. I®" For Democrats in the honse tohnî invective and insolent epithets at Speak- er Reed was like pouring water on a duck's back. He was not at all disconcerted or disturbed by the vehement onslaught, bat stood as firm as a rock, self reliant and unawed. He was determined that the obstructionists should not bring leg­ islation to a complete standstill by the tactics they resorted to and he triumph- ad. Reed in the Rifirht. One of the best parliamentarians in the state, and of opposite politics from Speaker Reed, said to the writer that Speaker Reed was clearly right in enter­ ing on the journal the names of members present, and not voting, to show that a quorum was presemt. He is the official head of the house ; it is his business to de­ termine whether or not aquoruift is pre­ sent to do business; he must decide it as a visible fact present to his sensesof sight and hearing. It is not to be supposed that he is blind or must see only vacan­ cies in the chairs where men are sitting. It was, continued this gentlemen, a viola­ tion of precedent in the houseof represen­ tatives, but it would be interesting to know how such a precedent came to be established. In the English house of commons it is the duty of the speaker to decide,whether there isor is not aquorum present. It, was, in the opinion of the gentleman, fully time, outside of partisan reasons, that the precedent should b°> ^overturned, as there never appeared any gobd reason for it. c • 19* The Republican clubs of Illinois are called upon by the Republican State League to send each three delegates to a convention in Representatives' Hall at Springfield, Tuesday, February 25th. The business will include the reports of Officers and members of the executive committee for the ensuing year, and election of delegates to the National League convention to be held at Nash- jgiUe, Tennessee, March 4th. ^•fiP*The indications are that the issue c(4 1892 mil be centered in the tariff more «$rongly than ever. It is probable that the tariff question will cut more of a figure in the Southern States than it ever w before. If the Republicans of the present Congress modify the t&rirf sched­ ules intelligently and fairly, the party lias a fine prospect of winning a great victory in some of the Southern States as well as ii| the North in 1892.--Aurora Beacon. I®"Speaker Reed has triumphed. The long agony is over. The new code of ^.Rnles has been adopted by the House and principle of majority rule vindicated r the new rules the House will be able ^transact business more expeditiously n for many years past. The country is indebted to Mr. Reed and the republicans of the House, for having the courage to topple over the numbo-jumbo of preced­ ent and give the people their rights. The people do not elect a majority of the 'Houhe of Representatives to have it con­ trolled by the minority. Our esteemed Illinois cotemporary, the McHenry PI.AIN DEALER, shows what may be pronounced an unparalleled con federation for the feelings of its subscrib­ ers. A "valuable subscriber" has re­ quested it to republish the Ten Com mandments, and it declines, not on the ground that they cannot be regarded as fresh newSj but because "if we were to publish them some person would be sure to think they were aimed at him, and come in and stop his paper." Is it possi­ ble that any of the dwellers by the Kick- apoo and Sugar Creek are as sensitive as this about the Ten Commandments? --New York Sun, Feb. 4th. WE wish to say to oilr "esteemed New York cotemporary." the Sun, if the.v will come out and attend the World's Fair, which is to be held in Chicago in 1892, we will take pleasure in showing them the beauties of Kickapoo and Sugar Creek, on whose banks they see fit to locate us. But be sure, before you come that you get well impressed upon your mind the com­ mandment, "Thou shall not steal." Another railroad through Northern Illinois is proposed. A dispatch from Dubuque to the Inter Ocean gives the fol- fowing particulars: To-day a party of Bixteen engineers, in charge of Mr. Alcott, arrived at East Dubuque. From one of them it was learned that they had sur­ veyed a line from Joliet, 111., on the San­ ta Fe, to Dubuque. He says the Santa Fe has determined on the construction of a Chicago, St. Paul and Duluth line via Dubuque. It will also run a line to Fort Dodge, and will have a air line between St Paul and Kansas City,, the purpose of the Santa Fe being to retaliate on the Milwaukee and Northwestern for cutting rates to the Missouri river by building in­ to their territory. CKOTJP. How to Gtu&rd Aff&inat the Disease. Croup is the terror of young mothers' especially during t he early winter months, ax it is then most prevalent. To post them concerning the cause, first symp­ toms, treatment, and how to. pi went it, is the object of this article, The origin of croup is a common cold. Children are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptoms of croup is hoarseness; it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized, ami once heard always remembered. Usually a day or two be­ fore the attack, the child becomes hoarse and gradually shows symptoms of hav­ ing taken cold, and this is where the mis­ take is usually made, the mother think­ ing her child ha-s just taken cold, gives it no especial attention until awakened in the night, by the violent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup, and remem­ bers it has had a cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many eases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physiT cian or drug store. You can well imag­ ine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse, or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Rem I edy is freely given from that time on, all tendency to croup will disappear and al- danger be avoided. The remedy prevents fully ten thousand cases of croup every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers throughout the Western States and territories; they have learned its val­ ue and how to use it; and in those fami lies croup is seldom known because it is always prevented. Can any mother who has small children afford to.be without such a remedy? It costs but fifty cents, can she afford to take the '-hancesforso trivialanamount? For sale by G» W. Besley.

Wafdwell, Boston, says: •'I used Clarke's Extract of Flax (Papillou) Catarrh Cure in June last for Ha.v Fever with great satisfaction, and find it the only thing I have seen which would allay, without irritation, the in- fiamnmtion of the nostrils and throat.

Brice's own testimony as ? to his place of residence is against him, and now he is compelled to pay for the luxury of suddenly claiming that he has been an Ohioan all the time. For several years past he has evaded paying bis taxes at Lima, Ohio, on the ground he was a citizen of New York, but his election OS Senator having forced him to claim residence in Lima, the tax-collector there has presented a claim for nearly f70,000 back taxes and penalty. The case is to be heard by the County Auditor hi a km days. VST Bushyhead, the wily chief of the Cherokees, is still in Washington, and has a great scheme on hand. He says that as soon as Senator Morgan's bill provid­ ing for the exportation of thecolored race to Africa has become a law, he intends to introduce one providing for the exporta­ tion of the whites to some other conti­ nent, thus restoring the territory of the United States to its rightful owners--the Indians. Chief Bushyhead may be a little visionary, but he is not so very far off, after all. Everything considered, bis " scheme is quite as likely to go through as Senator Morgan's. An exchange says that rank weeds are to be a nuisance no more in the country roods of Carroll county during the summer. This is the agreement the farmers of that country have arrived at. They have ageeed to cut down the weeds once in June and once in August for the next three years. This will make an im­ provement in the appearance of the roads and prevent much of the spreading of weeds on their farms. If grass seeds were sown on newly plowed roads, it would prevent much of the weed growth. This is a matter that should receive attention in this county. JfiTThe following dispatch from Lake Geneva, Wis., was published in the Chicago Herald last week: "An enthui- OAtic meeting was held here last night to listen to the proposition of the Chicago £ Lake Geneva and Pacific Railway Company, which intends to build a road from Lake Villa, 1111, through this place to Jefferson, Wis., if towns along the line will contribute for that purpose. Twenty thousand dollars in 4 per cent bonds are asked from the city. A committee of «even citizens was appointed to investi­ gate and report at a future meeting, The prevailing opinion seems to be that the proposition should be accepted." Washington correspondent writes Inter Ocean: The Illinois Senators and Representatives have held a con­ ference on the subject of State politics. They have come to an understanding that it will be expedient for the party not to call an early state convention The giBt of the opinion appeared to be that the convention need not be called any earlier than July . The opinion was not entirely united upon it, but that was the drift. The leaders did not seem to think that it was a matter of any partic­ ular consequence whether the Democrats call their convention or not. It was ad mitted that the action of the Democratic convention is already known. General Palmer has written here that his nomina tion for Senator is sure, and that the Democrats have a fighting chance in Br I®* What is an American, asks an ex­ change, as it points out the fact that there is no American save the Indian. Let us try to answer the conundrum. An American is one who believes in American institutions; in liberty without license; in law without oppression; in the right of every man to worship God as his own conscience dictates, or not to worship at all, but regards.the rights of his neigh­ bors to the peaceful rest of his Lord's day; in the public schobls as a basis of intelligent citizenship, and in obedience to law reserving the right to change the law if it be oppressive by the methods pro­ vided. Wherever such a man has been born he is an American citizen.--Ex. for Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly March, 1890. Frank Vincent, the well-known traveler, author of the recently published book, Around and About South America," and of a forthcoming work on (Vntral America, furnishes an elaborate leading article on "The Republics of Central America," in the March number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are graphically described, with numerous and beautiful illustra­ tions, making a contribution of the high­ est intrinsic interest, as well as of peuliar timeliness in connection with the work of the Pan-American Cougiess. Other il­ lustrated articles offer attractions in a variety of directions--notably Frederick Daniel's charming description of Rich­ mond, Virginia's historic capital; "The Music of all Nations," as exemplified at the Paris Exposition; "Where Garfield was Canal-boy." an accountof a leisurelv voyage on the Ohio Canal; "Ostrich Feathers," from the bird to t he bonnet ; "The Pictographic Autobiography of a Sioux Chief," etc. Alfred H.

" By the use of Ayer's Pills alone, I cured myself permanently of rheuma­ tism which had troubled me several - months.
