18T Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday was active, though not all offer- were taken. Sales were 10,200 pounds at 18 cents, 8,920 pounds at 18% 'cents, 2,700 pounds at 18% cents. Last week 17 cents, and a year ago 20 mte. • IfiTThe city ot itaenoa, III., was almost Jtotally destroyed by fire on Tuesday iaifternoon. Two saloons, one dry goods P«jiltore, and a printing office are all that is left of the business portion of the city. Fifty-four, buildings and nearly all the •tock fche(jfe«>Of> if<<h1 were burned. Th«.^Ktut*ii employes had #444,- 000 in the Pullman savings bank when they went on this strike. Now they have ;S less than one tenth o^ that sum. It seemp jv '>fchat all those savings might have been '.•r-used for a better purpose than fighting feva hopeless contest against industrial ^conditions which apply to all alike. '? 1ST An elopiug couple from Rochester, Pa., received the parental blessing at Cumberland, Md., 200 miles away by tel­ ephone, the other day. The bride was a daughter of Robt. Miller, and was seven­ teen years old. Her husband was but little her senior. After the ceremony she » , called up her father, told him where she % * J was and what had been done, and thei> ti?' • asked if it was all right. The old mai i("'4 hesitated a moment, said "yes," and rang off. But hegave theyouthfulcon pi* »cordial reception when they got home. | A short time ago the hands at the Saratoga (Kan)- roller mill found it gradually slowing down until it finally stopped. All efforts to start it proved of no avail. The machinery was over­ hauled but nothing was found to retard the m chinery until someone entered the compartment where the water wheel was situated. Several dark objects were twisted around the shaft of the wheel which turned out to be the mangled re­ mains of lour enormous eels which had effectually stopped the entire mill ma- chinciy. J In the last Congressional election , the vote in Utah was Democratic, 15,211; Republican, 12,405; Liberal, 6,989. If s the Democrats could do no better than < that in the year of the Democratic tidat : wave there Ier every reason to believe that the Dew etate will go Republican at its first election, and that its two Sena- tons' with others to be elected in other 1 states, will restore the control of the 'Senate to the Republicans in the Fifty- fourth Congress. The people of tbe en- . tire country will see to it next November , that the control of the House shall also J^be restored to the Republicans, the Presi- » dency coming two years later. l®*Two years ago Sam Taylor, aLex- ington, Ky., farmer, in the heat of a quarrel with a neighbor, who had struck fired a fatal shot at his antagonist. He was convicted and sent to jail on a three years' sentence. Meanwhile all hh- family, except a sister, who has labored in vain for his pardon, have died. The other day a Kentucky girl visiting the pen, saw the broken down old man and pitied him. She investigated the case, sought Governor Brown, secured a par don and took it to the prison. When the old man realized what she had done he gasped thank* and fell over dead. It#*The question of the payment of looses by the destruction of property by mobs is answered by the statutes of Illinois. Ia 1887 an act was passed to indemnify the owners of property for damages occasioned by mobs and riots. The first section of that act provides: That whenever any building or real or rsonal property, except property in ^ .sit, shall be destroyed or injured in 'sequence of any mob or riot com posed rof twelve or more persons, the city, or, if not i i a city, then the county iu which such property was destroyed, shall be liable to an action by or in behalf of the i party whose property was thus destroy- | ed or injured, for three-fourths of' the dfitpages sustained by reason thereof. gi;;^ 1 , > Divide Your Votes. At the Republican Senatorial Conven tion three candidates were nominated for representatives. By electing them we can make the eighth the banner district of the state. To do this every Republi can mast divide his votes, giving one to each of the nominees^ Plumping wijl ruin what chance of winning we may have and thecandidate whoquietly asks his friends to plump three votes for him is unwor thy the support of the party. We need every member we can get and the voters of this district have'a chance to send trio of Republicans to Springfield. Will the chance be excepted or will internal squabbles and petty jealousies destroy it?--Richmond Gazette. l^'Debs is the most prominent relic of the strike. Pe will hesitate some time again before he bucks the law. It is timf irresponsible leaders were given sqme idea of the results of their reckless action in calling men from work to riots, and inciting violation of law. The men who are urgioglabor unions to equip them­ selves with arms and organize iu military fashion to oppose the officers of the law and the troops, i^ future strikes should be locked up permanently. The men who oppose the government in this country eipeCt to be treated as criminals no matter whether they work as individuals or as companies. Rioters may be de­ luged into the idea that they can run thfogs because they are so insignificant in lumbers that Uncle Sam hardly feels It worth while to bother with them. The American people are patient, long suffer­ ing and sympathetic, but the American heart is loyal to the core when real dan­ ger comes. Striking men grow into something dangerous if anarchy and treason are to accompany it always. Price and quality considered, aee if yon MD beat Mrs. Besley's prices. MEN WHO ENDURE. Thow who have contemplated the pro­ gress an<! development of labor organi­ sations must have noticed the marked difference between those leaders who are continaedl i° office from year to year ant} the ones whose disappearance is a» ̂ sod­ den and complete as their rocket-like risfe to prominence. The Debses, the Sovereigns and the Martin Irons seldom last through more than one crisis. Ignorant, unbalanced, impudent and fanatical, they improve the first opportunity to wantonly exercise their new authority, and under irckless leadership labor unions are involved iu sbort-siffhted revolts with results fright­ fully disastrous to the whole country. Then comes the inevitable collapse and the places which knew the fool leader know him no more forever. The Arthurs and the Wilkesons are as enduring as the organizations which they represent. Intelligent, conservative and level-headed, they make haste slowly in time of gi-eat excitement and almost in­ variably their sagacity and clearly defin­ ed sense of right and wrong increase the confidence of their immediate followers and commend them to the respect of the general public. They understand the re­ ciprocal relations existing between capi­ tal and labor and when they have a grievance which demands redress it is presented in a-manly fashion with due re­ gard for the rights of others and for their own responsibility as good citizens. \rthur and Wilkeson do not resort to strikes, but when they are sure they are right they go ahead, and it is rarely they go in vain. The American workingman is not a fool and he must appreciate the differ­ ence between the characters of the lead­ ers made conspicuous by recent events. He does not need to bt told which digni­ fies and advances the cause of organized labor and in fullness of time he may be trusted to repudiate Debsims in all its mischievous phases. j Eighth Senatorial District Prohibition Convention.

If you don't believe your own town or city is a little better in most re­ spects than any of its neighbors, you should move out. Like other places it has advantages which others have not, and your modesty should not prevent you from making that fact known when­ ever the opportunity presents itself. At home or abroad, whether pursuing pleas­ ure or engaged in business, do not neg­ lect to give those with whom you come in contact to understand thatyou live in town populated by enterprising, go ahead, progressive people and one that is advancing instead of retrograding., If you can truthfully speak in commen­ dation of the ability of your professional men, the square dealing methods of your merchants, the excellence of your mechanics, the superiority vof your churches, schools and public institutions and the industry, energy and sobriety of your people in genert.1, let nothing pre- < vent you from exercising that privilege. You should learn to believe, if you do not already, that we have all these and in addition the handsomest women, the best located town, the fiuestcountry sur­ rounding it, with the most fertile farms, tilled by the most intelligent class of farmers to be found in the United States. If there are any drawbacks it will not be necessary to mention them. The peo­ ple and newspapers of competing towns will relieve you of that task by attend­ ing to that part of it themselves. Strangers seeking a location are always greatly influenced in favor of any place whose citizens are enthusiastic in its praise. No city or town can expect to attain prominence of its rivals unless its inhabitants appreciate theexeellence and virtues of each other and will collectively spread abroad their faith in the present prosperity and future greatness of their own locality. Talk is a cheap commod­ ity, but when rightly utilized it can be made effective in many directions, and this is one of them GOOD, BETTER, BEST. 1st dose good, 2ud dose better, the 3rd dose you will find the best remedy on •*arth and nothing ever again will take the place of Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for constipation, indigestion and billious- ness.
