THIS CHANG'S APPRECIATED That the change of this paper from a "patent inside" to an all home print is appreciated by the public is proven by the fact that new subscribers are com­ ing in in large numbers. Recently we sent circulars to persons who were not taking the Pl.aindeal.eb, calling atten­ tion to the fact that this paper is now til printed in the home office. To these same people we afterwards sent sample copies. The result was just what we ex­ pected. New subscriptions began com­ ing in, and the boom Is still going on. The following words uttered by a gen­ tleman who has been a subscriber of the Puindkalih ever rinee the paper was founded, speaks volumes: "Your change Is a great improvement. Now we get the latest telegraphic news and that pleases ma Y our m arkets are also more reliable than they were when half of your paper was printed in Chicago. Yes, I like the change very much, and no doubt the Plaindealer will become more influen­ tial than ever." This is only one of many similar ex­ pressions made by subscribers who know a good thing when they see it.. NF* There seems to be a great diversity of opinion about the probable supply of hogs during the coming winter. Reason­ ing from agricultural reports and pri­ vate information from the producers themselves one would naturally conclude :?eoufereac® at the foreign office. that the available supply would fall far short of last season's crop. However there are some, but chiefly those inter­ ested in packing, who estimate that re­ ceipts of hogs in the winter months will •how an increase with last year. Of course at this early date it is hard to prognosticate with any feeling assur­ ance, though it certainly looks as if there would be a noticeable shortage. One thing is sure and that is the amount of hog products on hand is lighter, and all things considered, the chances for better prices are more favorable. HISTORY UF A WEEK.

John Askena, of Cashing, O.T., got into bed her LusbumJ's revolver, which was under the pillow, was dis­ charged, the ball entering her brain and kilting her inst-auily. The collections unaer the Dow liquor law in Ohio in January and July, 1899, aggregated $2,825,145*.64. This sum was contributed to by 10,030 saloons in Janu­ ary and 11,740 in July. Among the articles deposited in the "lost aud found bureau" at the World's fair, were three nets of false teeth, two of which were called for by the owners. The California vintage of the present season will be a^out 18,000,000 ^gallons, or about 3,000,000 gallons in excess of last year's yield. The British government, owing to the depression of trade caused thereby, will take cognizance of the great strike of coal miners, and Gladstone has asked repre­ sentatives of both sides to meet him in Thursday, Nov. 16. .Bishop Spauldin« has left Peoria for Rome, where he will spend a year at the Vatican. lie was given a farewell reception by the priests of the diocese.

James McClellan, a wealthy cattle buy­ er of Tabor, la., was killed by a motor train at Omaha while attempting t9> board partment of Agriculture of the rates of yield per acre makes the average for corn 22.6 bushels, which is the smallest yield reported, excepting those of 1886, 1887 and 1890, for the past ten years. The yields for these years were, respectively, 22, 20.1 and 20.7 bushels. It is less than the average for ten years 1870 to 1879 by 4.5 bushels lees than the aver­ age for the succeeding decade, 1880 to 1889, by 1% bushels, and lees than the average for the three years 1890 to 1892 by a little over 1 bushel. The result is in harmony with the reported indications during the growing season. The July returns of condition were high, being 93.2, from which point there was a rapid decline, ending In the returns of October at 75.1, a fall of a little over 18 points; a result due in the main to the severe, extensive and persistent drought. The scale of yield of the principal corn states are re­ ported ae follows: New York, 29.3; Penn­ sylvania, 24 9; Ohio, 24 2; Michigan, 33.8; Indiana, 24.3; Illinois* 25.5; Iowa, 35 4; Missouri, 27 5; Kansas, 20.3; Ne­ braska, 25. 19s Here is something worth thinking about: To walk and live untainted with­ in arnfs length Of what i* not your own, with nothing between your desire and its gratification but the invisible law of righteousness, this is to be a man.

From indi- - cations the board fears that small-pox frill be epidemic throughout the whole l»untry as cold weather approaches. It is urged that all should be vaccinated as a protection against the dread disease. H(P The Kansas City Star, says that the opprobrious epithet,"doughface" was first used in Congress by John Randolph, of Roanoke, who applied it to Mr. Ever­ ett, of Massachusetts, while pointing at that dignified gentleman "his long and ekinny finger." This term of reproach has not been used in congressional de­ bate for some time, and it is a curious coincidence that the man at whom it was aimed by Boutelle the other day is the eon of the Massachusetts statesman who provoked Randolph to use it. Ifir "The question, 'What does a man buy when he purchases the title to a farm?' has often been asked but not satisfactorily answered' said a well known attorney recently. "From the latest decisions on the subject it is plain that he buys the ground of course, and a'l the buildings on it, whether they are men­ tioned or not. He also buys all the fences, but not material once used, taken down and laid aside, nor material pur­ chased for a new fence, unless specially mentioned. He also buys all adjuncts nfecessary to the farm except the ma­ chinery. For instance if there be a pile of bean poles cut and used once for the purpose they go with the farm, but if cut and never used they are the seller's property unless specified as sold. Stand­ ing trees and trees that have blown down go with the land, but if cut down and made into cordwood they become personal property, and to go with the Jand must be specified In the sal$" " • 10" The Marengo Republican describes some interesting antique documents own­ ed by a citizen of our sister town.

Foremost in the collection is a "Eulogy on the life of General George Washing­ ton," by Thos. Paine, A. M., printed in 1800--an almost priceless document, lofty and grandiloauent in its tone, and for which Mr. tiackley has refused $80. There is a letter each from Thurlow Weed, Jeff Davis, and our martyred President, the immortal Lincoln; a letter written from on board Her Majesty's ship "Dragon," j*t Portsmouth, during the war between the British a»d French in 1798, to one John Brown, at Schen­ ectady, N.
