THE management of the Northwestern road has issued orders reducing the force *t all stations where such is possible. Business lias fallen off fllty per cent on all branches of the road, and expenses will be cut down as much as possible. No talk of cut wages is as yet beard. THE slang phrase "in it" WAS first ased by Esekiel, the Hebrew prophet, in the 14th, 16th and 20th verses of the 14th chapter of his prophecies. The 14th verse of the chapter is as follows:-- "Though these three men, Noah, Daniel ; and Job were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteous- WE would call especial attention to the card to be found on the first page of this paper, of Westerman & Son, Painters, Decorators, etc. Tney do all kinds of painting and make a specialty of paper hanging, prompt work and reasonable prices being their motto. Read their card and give them a trial when in want of any work in their line. THE cup of sorrow is in constant circu­ lation. We must all drinkj and some of us drink deeply. It is immaterial, Whose turn comes first; the thing is to benefit by the draught, as it requires a little self knowledge to convince us that we are unequal to prosperity, and unable to stand it witBout growing careless of things of far greater importance.--Ex. AN Edgar county man whose land was under mortgage and about to be taken from him fell on his knees in the field in prayer. When he got up he seized the plow with a new grip, gave the mules a vigorous kick, and before he had gone twenty feet he'turned up a jag with ovar |600 in gold and silver in it. So says the Chenoa Clipper. A PIECE of string makes a simple ba­ rometer. Take a piece of string about fifteen inches long, saturate it with a strong solution of salt and water, let it dry and then tie a light weight to one end and hang it up against a wall and mark where the weight reaches to. The weight rises for wet weather and falls for fine. The string should be placed where the outside air can get freely to it. A SOCIETY man who mingles much with the world, and ought to know, says: "We lordsof creation talk' very glibly ^about women gossips, but the truth is here are as many scandal mongers mong the men as among the women, and a man gossip is more dangerous to society than the women gossips.

Cain belonged to a good family. Don't judge man by the house he lives in, for the lizeard and the rat otten inhabit the grandest structures.

THERE are no less than foui* articles bearing on political questions in the Chi­ cago Magazine of Current Topics for February. That of W. C. Amos; upon Organization for Political Success, is one Which is particularly noteworthy. Mr. Amos has had a wide experience in poli­ tics and is entirely fearless in hie utter­ ances. The article by E. W. Clement up­ on Japan's Political Progress for 1893, while it does not bear so directly upon home matters, is bristling with interest­ ing facts regarding that fast developing empire, which we all should know. Ths price of the magazine is 15 cents a copy, f 1.50 a year. OF the magazines for February* none will find more favor with the people generally than The Chicago Magazine of Current Topics. In existence but little more tiian a year, by its strong and fear­ less articles upon topics of vital and present interest it has forced its way upon the thiuking public. And not upon the thinking public only, for it aims to entertain as well as instruct. Its stories have been of an unusually brilliant char­ acter and its poems have included many veritable gems. In the matter of illus­ tration it is quite abreast with its com­ petitors and growing steadily, f 1.50 a year, 15 cents a copy. SPECIAL NOTICC.

It was a shock to score* when at 10:30 A. M , Jan. 17, the intelligence spread rapidly that John F. Bockwood was dead. But ten minutes before he had been standing at Fburch and Main streets in cheerful conversation with old friends. Leaving them he walked north ward a block to Ma koine, entered the gate walked to where his son Bernard, and a neighbor were working upon an ice boat, saying as he come up "I think you have sail enough for your boat," and then fell to the ground. His son in stantly raised him but the spirit had fled. One Convulsive gasp and all was over. Drs. Hofstettsr and Bachelder quickly summoned btjt he was past mortal aid. Paralysis of the heart was the cause of death. Thus was it once more forced home to us all tliat "in the midst of life we are in death." Born in Vermont John F. Rock wood was about 60 years of age. He had been a resident here since 1863, pursuing the vocation of engineer. In the days before the completion of the Clinton Bridge he was engineer of the "Commodore" the steam ferry which transferred cars from the island to the main land. Later for many years he was engineer of the Lyons and Fulton Ferry, "Lyons City." For a number of years past he had been en­ gineer at the Lyons Lumber Co's mill, and it was during bis employment there that he had the misfortune to get his left band caught so as to necessitate ampu­ tation. Mr. Bockwood had served in all, three terms as alderman, completing his third and last term in March 1892. He was a valued member of the I. 0.0.. F. and Knights and Ladies of Honor. He leaves to mourn, his frife, one daughter, Miss Jessie, and three sons. George, in the employ of the C. & N. W. Ry., Bernard, at present at home, and Charles employed as shipping clerk for T. M. Gobble & Co., Clinton. He was a kiud and loving husband and father, and a good citizen, and his loss falls with crushing force on those thus sud­ denly and cruelly bereaved. To,them is extended the warm sympathy of scores of friends. The funeral was held at 1:30 p. M from is late residence at Fourth and Pearl streets. In token of appreciation of hie services and as a mark of esteem and sympathy for the family of the deceased there were in line over two hundred Odd Fellows while many carriages followed in which were not a few of the Knights and Ladies of.Honor. The remains were laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery. Mr. Bockwood was a brother to Ml*. Mary E. Harrison, of Ringwood, 111., who came with their parents to Ring- wood, from Vermont in 1844. He spent his younger days on the farm now occu­ pied by John Carey, leaving which he went to railroading and was one, of the first firemen to ride over the Fox River Valj^ltajlroad. ... The Would be BAitM. f Mtttiy a man who thinks he coutcf k journalist stands in the stores and tells how he would be as independent as a hog on ice, and call things by their right names; how he would expose corruption in the high places; how he wonld write good common erase; aad none of your frivolous, try-to-be-funny stuff. The best way to cut off one of these chaps is to get him to agree to write a sensible article every day for a week. Before the week is out he is sure to be pumped dry, and will gape worse for an idea than a chicken with the pip. If he should have the ability and nerve to carry out his threats he would be found hanging to a lamp post before three cold mornings rolled aronnd. He Found the SolutfeMt; A few months ago a Waukegan young man bought a pair of socks containing a note saying that the writer was an em­ ploye of the Kenosha Knitting works and wanted a good husband. She gave her name and requested the purchaser, if an unmarried man, to write with a view to matrimony. The young man who found the note, considering the matter in all its phases, decided to write to the girl. He did. Awaiting the an­ swer with considerable anxiety he was at last rewarded with a curt letter stat­ ing that the girl warf now the mother of two children and had been married for years and that the letter he had an­ swered bad been written ever so long ago. The young man hunted hard for a solution. He found it. The merchant of whom he bought the socks didn't ad­ vertise.
