Bangs, at Wauconda, Sat­ urday. The monument is of Vermont granite, sarcophagus style, and weighs 7,000 pounds. It is a very handsomr structure and doss credit to its able man­ ufacturers. THE outlook is not particularly en­ couraging for milk producers hereabouts, the St. Charles Chronicle thinks. The Chicago consumers do not seem to be in any great hurry to make figures covering the winter product, and it^not expected that the demand will be such as to com­ pel them to offer a fair rate. The termi­ nation of the World's Fair just at the time when contracts were expiring was an unfortunate happening for the farmers. THERE will be a social on Fridsy even­ ing of next week, at the residence of Dr. F. E. Pilcher. It was originally intend­ ed have this social on Thursday evening of this week, but it was thought advisa- ble to postpone it until Friday, Nov. 24. The social will be given under the aus­ pices of the Epworth League. Daring the evening %n interesting program will be given. All are cordially invited. ONE of those horrid newspapermen l»w told on one of those too-too young la­ dies who seem to think it makes them look literary or something else to wear glasses. She went to a jeweler and tried several pairs of spectacles, finding a pair after a short search which fitted her just splendidly. She purchased them, took them home, and then found that there were no glasses in the bows. She never went back. A FEW days ago a prominent society lady of our city was on the streets of Chi­ cago, with her husband, in the evening. As they were walking along she said "I wish I would find f 10." "Oh" said he "wish for f50." Just then she saw a bank bill right at her feet aed picked up a $2 bill. "Now wife," scud the husband, "I guess you bad better take me to sup­ per." She did and it co?t her $2.65, and she is trying to figure out how much she made by finding the f2.--Waukegan Gazette. THE Antioch News nays that during the first four days of November that office bookod orders for job printing aggrega­ ting $85.75, and adds: "This is certain­ ly unparalled in the history of country job offices." We admit that, thift is a very fine showing, but we do not agree with the News man in the statement that the record thus made "is unparallled in the history of .country job offices." Dur­ ing the identical four days mentioned by theJVeirs the PLAINDEALEB job depart­ ment booked orders for job printing amounting to exactly $96.25. And we didn't think anything of it either, for such rushes are frequent occurences in the PLAINDEALEB office. / • THE republican banner waved in the city hall Saturday evening. The oc­ casion for this was the celebration by the republicans of the victories won by the party on Tuesday of last week. The at­ tendance was large and the meeting was enlivened by the music of the Mc Henry military band. Enthusiastic speeches were made by Justice H. C. Mead, Hon. Geo. Gage, F. K. Granger, Prof. W H. Strayer and Hank McLean. The repub­ licans were happy and enjoyed them- aelvee to their hearts' content. "ONE of my ancestors won a battle during the Crusades by his skill in hand­ ling his artillery," said the Baron. "But my dear Baron," said his friend, "at the time of the Crusades gunpowder had not yet been discovered." "I know that as well as you do, and so did my ancestor." "How did he win the badtle then? " "He brought his artillery to bear on the Sar­ acens, and the stupid fools seeing the guns, supposed that powder had at last been discovered and fled in dismay."-- Texas Sittings. IT is rumored in high railroad circles that the Chicago & North-western rail­ road company will soon dispose of their valuable tract of land covered by machine shops and side tracks in Chicago, and move their entire works to the section reserved by them near Fulton, III. An important factor in causing so great a change is the certainty that in a few years at the farthest all tracks in the city of Chicago will be elevated by law, which would necessitate an expenditure of many millions of dollars by the Chica­ go & North-western company, more in fact than the cost of moving the aitfire plant to Fulton. ; WHEN E.

WHAT may be called the secondary effects of an advertisement, which are seldom taken into consideration, was im­ pressed upon a home merchant recently when he advertised a sale. A little girl came after some of the stuff advertised, early in the morning, saying that her mother, Mrs. So-and-So, had read the "ad" in the paper. A little later five or six ladies came to the store and asked for some of the same goods Mrs So-and- So had got. They had heard of her bar­ gain and wished to take advantage of it also. This is an effect that is generally overlooked by merchants.-- Waukegan Patriot. THE Park Ridge News contains the fol­ lowing news item which will be ofinterest to many of our readers:' "The lucky can­ didates in last Tuesday's election are not in it; McKinley is out of sight; in fact everything has become oblivious to public gaze in Park Ridge when compared to the paternal smile ol A. H. Brewer. His estimable wife and eight pound daughter is the cause of it all. When tbe heavy fog bad been dispersed by tbe glowing tints of the morning sun all moteer earth shone forth in autum's array beyond the beauteous touch of artist's brush, and revealed to life living flower such as no human could portray." " THB celebrated case of Mary Bull daughters against the Modern Woodmen of America at Rockford recently was •tried in the circuit court and the result is af interest to all members of the order throughout the country. Daniel Bull >as a member of Eureka camp at Peca- tonica. He was insured for $2,000 in 1885 and increased the amount to $3,000 later. His death occurred April 19, 1893. When the certificate was present­ ed it was refused payment. The defend­ ants alleged that when the insurance was raised to $3,000 Mr. Bull was past the age named by tbe society. The result is important as it establishes a prece­ dent. Bull was prominent in the order, being at one time deputy head consul and worked in Illinois, Iowa and Wis­ consin organizing lodges. He^was also clerk of Eureka camp. The court heard the case and decided against the order and in favor of the beneficiaries named in the policy. ->• &?•- v The merchant to-day who gives his customer value received is the man who is on a solid cash basis. The one who is carrying half his capital on his books is not, as he never knows what to depend upon, and, like an insurance company, must be paid for his risk, well knowing that a considerable amonnt of money for goods trusted out will never be paid. This adds a certain per centage to the selling price of goods and brings an un­ fair cost to every honest man who pays his bills. Every business man who does a credit business will tell you that every year his book accounts grow larger, his percentage of loss greater, and if he con­ tinues in trade, the honest man miist pay him larger profit* to meet the grow­ ing trouble. Now this abuse must result in one of three things, viz: 1st. Paying of large profits by the entire community, in order that the dead-beats may still continue to beat. 2d. The loss of ^all cash bearing advantages both in the wholesale and retail market. 3d. An honest merchant must either lose money or close his doors. Alter considering the matter carefully, and observing the way the credit business has been carried on, we do not wonder that some people find fault with being over-charged. Now in order to make each customer pay for what he gets, we must do business on a strictly cash basis, and by so doing will assure you ttiat jou can save from 15 to 20 per cent. Is that not an object? Goods wiil be sold at their cash value and no other. Try the cash system awhile and you will marvel at the good results. Mr. Baer came here from Iowa, where he was in business for eleven years, and began business one year ago.

A COUPLE of smooth, ytfcs, very "slick" young men have worked Galesburg peo- ple to their hearts' content during the past few days. Their scheme is anew and novel one, and the originator is a genius. It's a bread winner, as nearly fifty Gales- burgers will testify to. Tbe men go to houses with bird cages filled with red birds and offer them for sale at $2 each, claiming that the little ones are in perfect health. The color is perfect and the birds appear to be Shipper and full of life. The men are persuasive talkers and eas­ ily induce people who are fond of birds to purchase one. When the bird is deliv­ ered it is apparently in the best of health. In about three days after the birds were delivered to the purchaser they commence to die off, and now out of the fifty or more birds that have been sold in Gales­ burg only a few sick ones remain on earth to tell the stoay. An investigation of the dead birds shows that when slive only common English spar- the boys get two cents apiece The red color is d and is perfect. ftL ..." -X'-fSSlW Iv: . T 3S . • • MRS, J.H.
