OCT. 7, 1891 WEDNESDAY, •I. VAJS 8LYKB, Editor. THIS PA PER lAWKbL * OO.'S Newspaper Advertising iuroan <10Spruce Street), where advertising •S.'R&'V,* 5: NEW YORK- |®~The Peoria Transcript has said many good thing? but nothing more to the point than thin. "A reformer ie a good thing, but it takee'something more than a sore head to make one. This some people are constantly forgetting." MF" General Boulanger, who came near overturning France a short time ago, committed suicide on Wednesday at Brussels on the grave o! his mistress. His mind had given away under the se­ vere financial and political losses he had sustained. 15,500,000 was paid on* is pen­ sions during the first fifteen days of Sep­ tember. The Republican party is re­ deeming its promise to care for the sur­ vivors of the war, and for the widows, orphans and dependents of thoqe who yielded their lives in the sanguinary con­ flict that the nation might live. IQT There is yet a bare chance that John L. Sullivan, P. R., of Boston, will yet feel called upon to assume the leader­ ship of the Democratic party, and so fulfill a previously declared intention to enter politics. Rumors come from Aus­ tralia that hiB play-acting enterprise! in that continent is a lugubrious failure. Hie Way to Kill a Town, If you have a house to build, send off for all the material, and even employ workmen away from home to do the job, while your home mechanics lie idle for want of something to do. Send what money you have to expend away from home, you will probably get it back again, but woe to the mechanic or laborer if he must wait until it comes. It may do for those who can stand it, but it will never do for the poor man, who must, go some­ where to get his bread. If a stranger comes among yon, Just pick and fleece him of all he has. It will make you rich, but it does not give the people of yourplace agood name abroad, and no one would wish to settle where they were in danger of being robbed of what they have. Frown down every attempt to improve and advance the interests of the place, because your..taxes are to be raised a mill or two to make the necessary improve­ ments., ' / ... . v!^v: I^The lands just opened to Settle­ ment in Oklahoma comprise about 800,- 000 acres, after subtracting the Indian allotments and the sections reserved for school and other purposes. This will furnish about 5,000 homesteads. It is estimated that not less than 15,000 boomers started in the race for these homesteads. Although agriculture is said to be a losing business out in that section of the country, it will be observed that there are about three times as many applicants for a chance to lose money as can be accommodated whenever new lands are thrown open to settlement, an exchange notes.

The principles of protection to American industries vs. free trade, a sonnd curren­ cy vs. a depreciated one, aside from State issues, will be the subjects of the contro­ versy. 19* The town of DeKalb is going into the "palace" business, a la Sioux City, Ottumwa, and other points. It is to be a barb wire palace, 80x160 feet in size, and "built entirely of barbed wire in spools?' The interior of the building will be filled with products of DeKalb county, and it is intended to produce a show that will be interesting and at­ tractive. • 19* Aurora Beacon: Congressman Hopkins wiped up the earth with Gen. John C. Black at the Sandwich Fair on Friday. He completely exploded all his fallacies in regard to the tariff, and showed that the beneficent effects of the McKinley bill were already being felt all over the coupt#y. The speech was listened to very attentively by an immense audience, and liberally applauded. I®" Rev. Samuel Dickinson Btirehaa^,! who uttered the famous alliteration, "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," at a | minister's meeting at New York City, dur­ ing the campaign for the Presidency, in! 1884, and which the Democratic man­ agers seized upon to' change the current I of popular feeling from Blaine and to en­ compass his defeat, died at Saratoga, N. Y., September 25tb, at the advanced age of 79 years. Blossom Co. 301 N. Clark 8t., CHICAGO, ILL.

It so operates that when a big gun is fired the recoil forces the gun down to the carriage and so beneath the level of the pit. Hence, trying to dis­ mount that gun by a hostile shot will be a good deal like shooting at a wood- chuck sitting by bis hole--now you see and now you don't. BLOSSOMS, per pound FLUID EXTRACT, per bottle SOLID EXTRACT, per pound (0.60 1.00 2.60 1ST* On the Elgin Board of Trade Mon­ day nine lots of butter were offered on the call board and received bids of 26 and 26%. Before the last call, four lots, 5,340 pounds, were sold at 26% cents. On the call bidding was lively, and the result was that all but one offering were sold at 27 cents. Two private sates were reported later at 27, making a total of 7,380 pounds at that figure. One year a$o butter sold at 24 cents. I^TThe Illinois CondeneingNidjrifit>any I and the Elgin Condensed Milk Company | have contracted for their supply of milk i for six months, commencing October 1.1 The prices are per quart: Elgin company, | October, 3 cents; November and Decem­ ber, 3)4; January and February, 3; March, 2%. The Illinois Company's fig- toreeaverage the same, but are 2% fori October and 3 for March. The average | is 3 cents per quart or 96 cents per can. IB* There is something almost pathetic and yet not entirely devoid of innate fun In the paroxysmal efforts of the dear ladies of the W. C. T. U. to explain, ex­ tenuate and deny Miss Willard's allega­ tion that the bichloride of gold cure was boomed by the press simply to hurt the Prohibition party. It appears at length to have dawned upon the minds of these ladies that hostility to a cure for drunk­ enness is not exactly in line with a move­ ment for radical temperance reform. Bow to Send Flowers by Kail. Cut them early in the morning, and let them stand in water some hours before | packing, so as to absorb moisture en­ ough to prevent them withering, in which I case they will not need to be sprinkled after they are in the box. Pack in a light wooden box lined with ! cotton batting and covered with tissue- paper. Lay the flowers not on top of each other, but in rows side by side, the | blossoms of each row on the stems of their neighbors and as close as possible; I cover with paper and cotton; Bee that the lid of the box is securely fastened, and ! remember to write on one corner: "Cut Flowers," as that will insure the package being carefully and quickly handled. ARE WE Right or Wrong? A Shoe Dressing must restore the bril­ liancy of a worn shoe, and at the same time preserve the softness of the leather. LADIES will the Dressing yoa are using do both ? Try it! Pour a dessert spoonful of your Dressing into a saucer or butter plate, set it aside for a few days, and it will dry to a substance as hard and brittle as crushed glass. Can such a Dressing be good for leather? Both the Solid and Flntd Extracts are made from the same stook of Blossoms, and are equally as good and efficacious as the Blos­ soms. JULIA A.

Anton Siebolt who the week before killed James Meehan near Darlington and poujided his head into jelly with a wagon wrench after he was dead, was taken from the jail by a crowd and hanged to a tree. The laws of Wisconsin do not permit capital pun- ishmeut for crime, and in thia instance people took the case into their own hands not at all t© their credit, but to the com­ plete satisfaction of all who held the opinion that the murderer ^deserved no better fate. 3 pSf Balmaceda, ex-President of Chili, •hot himself through the temple at the Argentine legation in Santiago on the day that his term of four years as Presi­ dent ended.
