In one of the wrecked cars, which was loaded with heavy plank, seven tramps were stealing a ride. When the car was thrown down the bank, tbe tramps were caught between the lamber and the roof of the car, five being instantly killed and the remaining two terribly bruised.-- Coroner Cook held an inquest, the Jury bringing la a verdict according to the above facta.

I The house of Mrs. Pierce, a widow lady giving on a farm three miles west of Wii- mot, and nine miles north of McHenry, on English Prairie, was destroyed by fire on Saturday night last, with all its con­ tents, her three sons and a hired girl per­ ishing in the flames, Mrs. Pierce and an aunt of the boys being the only ones who escaped. The fire broke out about mid­ night, Saturday night, and it is suppos­ ed to have caught from a defective chimney. The remains were recovered on Sunday morning but were burned so that they were not recognizable. The ages of the boys were about 23, 26 and 30 years of age, while that of the hired girl was 15 years. The sad affair has cast a gloom over the entire community \where they lived. J TBI: RiugWoOd Cemetery AidSoeigfy will meet at H. W. Allen's, Thursday evening, Oct. 4. PROGRAMME.

The little French girl stood at my elbow while I wrote. She was leaning on the window sill, one little hand sup­ porting her black head, says a writer in the New York Advertiser. Far across the lawn she could hear the rise and fall of music and the sound of laughter and of tripping feet. Red and pink lanterns swung from the balconies in the night breeze. I was very lonely. It wasn't complimentary to the little French girl, but the little French girl did not care for dancing and I did. Suddenly she gave a little laugh. "Why are you giggling?" I asked rather crossly. "Becausfe the world amuses me," she murmured. A very good reason, to be son. But when the world amused me I liever laughed. Patinette is more than clever for ten years, and more bizarre in her notions than clever, so I asked: "Why does it amuse you?" , "Well, par example, is it not bete to dance, to dance always one way, round and round, with no aim to get nowhere, only to go round, to twirl?" "Yes; very stupid." "And is it not bete to stay up till twelve when one's bed is ready at eight and one's eyes sleepy? And is it not stupid to wear a decollete gown and long gloves when one's arms are prettier than one's neck? The world m'amuse!" And she laughed softly to herself, and I could not help thinking what she said was true; and I no longer envied the merry-makers, but thought anyone would envy me my solitude a deux and my intellectual companion. Some moods need only a straw to bal­ ance them. Business liocals. WEDNESDAY, 1894. TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION. I* Fitting Spectacle Bsm to the Ban Both Moat Be Considered. Having selected a pair of frames with a nose piece of the right height and spread to bring the glasses into the proper position, and having had them fitted with glasses made in accordance with the oculist's prescription, the op­ tician now proceeds to fit the com­ pleted spectacles to your head, says the New York Sun. You might put them right on and wear them off Just as they are. But no, he reaches over and places the bows over your ears himself. Then he tries the spectacles gently, as they rest upon your nose, taking hold at the outer ends of the frame, where the bows hinge. Not just right. He takes them oft -again and smooths the bows out between the tips of his fingers and changes their shape a little and tries them again. Better, but not just right yet. He takes them again, and smooths out and bends in a little more. You observe as he hands them to you, as he does this time, that the bows have not only been changed somewhat in shape, but now they vary in sweep and curve. You put them on and find that they fit perfectly and very comfortably. He touches them and finds them right and says so. "But the bows are not alike," you say. "No," says the optician, "but they are now made to fit. Your ears are not just alike. One of them is a little bigger than the other, and they are not placed exactly alike on the head." "What?" you say,'and he says: "Yes. There are very few of us that are per­ fect or just alike on both sides." COURTEOUS BY INTUITION. Bat He Would Throw Away the Basil All the Same. A very little incident will sometimes show the natural trend of a person's nature* An old Scotchman visited an office where some young men were con­ gregated, and, after concluding the business which took him there, stopped for a social chat. In the midst of this he took out an old-fashioned snuff box, opened it, took a pinch of the mixture and offered the box in turn to each one present. The surprise of one was reflected in his face as he declined the proffered luxury, says the Detroit Free Press. Another smiled broadly as he said: "Excuse me," but the third took a pinch and held it in his thumb and fin­ ger, while the old man replaced his ox, showing -in every line of his rewd old face his appreciation of the spuff-taker, and soon after he took his parture. , "What will you do with it?" asked one of the group. / "Throw it away," was the reply; "but ' I was not going to hurt the poor fel­ low's feelings by refusing to take a pinch. It is like eating salt with an Arab--it makes you his friend thence­ forth forever." "How do you know that?" "I have intuitions," was the quiet answer. The Hone's Memory. A Middletown (N. Y.) papet fefti of a horse belonging to Mr. Schlemmer, of that place, who began to prick up its ears and look very intently at two ladies whom the butcher did not know. As they came nearer the horse becsoae more excited and reached forward toward them as far as the strap by which he was hitched would allow. One of the ladies said: "Oh, there's our old horse," and went up to the animal, which responded to her caresses by rubbing his head against her shoulder. The horse had been in the possession of the lady's father for fourteen years and until four years before, and had always been her pet. No one who reads this incident need doubt that horses have good memories and affections for those who treat them well. * Closing Out Sale.

Tbe brevity of insect life kg illustrat­ ed in the case of those insects that mo­ lest and ruin the mushroom. The lat­ ter, whose life is measured by hours, is often ruined by an insect who deposits eggs that hatch out grubs while the mushroom is still apparently in the full vigor of youth. Before the mushroom has reached the tottering age of forty- eight hours the grubs may develop into the full-blown insects. Origin of the Walking Stlek. Probably the patriarch's staff was the first adaptation of the walking stick and from its first inception to the present day it has undergone almost endless changes. In 1701 footmen at» tending gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, these being replaced by a porter's staff. Thirty years later gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, but allowed to carry large oak sticks. Before many years varnished and polished woods with ornamental heads came into use and in one form or another have held tiaeir ftvv^tt pial?li« popularity. » IWCold facts about the business of the dKMntrj are better than the political Wry tales now being disseminated by Democrats. Dunn's commercial reports say that, while there is an improvement of 10 per cent over the midsummer dull nesR, the business of the country is still 25 per cent below the average. That is the sort of "good times" the Democrats have brought us, for which they ask to be continued in power. M^Thie London Chamber of Dommerce shows its gratitude for tariff favors r> ~eived and yet to come by banquetting Congressman Wilson, of West Virginia. The voters in Mr. Wilson's district will show what they think by retiring him next November, An Autuma Magaalne. That popular New York clergyman, the Rev. Dr. Rainsford, contributes a most interesting article to the October issue of The Ladies' Home Journal, in which he defines the position of "The Clergy­ man in Sooiety." Not less interesting is the eminently practical view which Mrs, Burton Harrison, in her contribution to tbe. series "Before He is Twenty," takes of "A Boy'B evenings and Amusements" --how the first should be spent, and of what the second should consist. Mr. Howell's literary biography, which he has so aptly named "My Literary Pas sions," continues to grow in interest and charm. A very valuable article entitled "The Candy-Eating Habit" is furnished by Cyrus W. Edson. M. D„ President of the New York Board of Health. The bio­ graphy of the number consists of sketch­ es, with portraits, of A. Conan Doyle, the creator of "Sherlock Holmes," and James Matthew Barrie, the author of "A window in Thrums." The full piano score of the Rose-Bud Waltzes, specially written for the Journal by Luigi Arditi, Patti's veteran orchestral conductor, conductor cannot fail to delight all lovers of good music, ap "The Possibili­ ties of Crepe Paper" and "The Holly and Mistletoe on China will all lovers of the artistic. The editor discourses with earnestness on what constitutes a suc­ cessful life for men and women, and Ad­ dison B. Burk very thoroughly explains the methods employed in the building and loan plan--"When buying a House with Rent Money." Much solid wisdom may be found in Burdette's inimitable "Through Two Ends of a Telescope." Mrs. Mallon contributes some charming suggestions for "Dainty House Gowns," end lor "Little Girle' Qowns," and Miss Hooper speaks some wise words on "Dressing on a Small Income." Alto­ gether this October Issue, with its at­ tractive cover, specially designed by A. B. Wenzell. is an ideal magazine and worth ten times its price of ten cents. The Ladies' Home Journal, with a circu­ lation of 700,000 copies, is published by The Curtis Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, for ten cents per number and one dollar per year.

A CHICAGO LADY WritesGents: Received yours of the 6th and was very much surprised. I must say, however, I cannot praise Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin enough. For the past six months I have been troubled with gastric dyspepsia and indigestion. I could not eat or sleep with any comfort and was really dead for want of food and rest. I tried may kinds of medicines, but none helped me until my husband brought home a bottle of your Syrup Pepsin. After taking a few doses I felt better, and using it two weeks now I can eat anything and go to bed and sleep, where before I could not, and life seems now worth living. If you wish to use this letter you are are welcome to do so. MRS. NELLIE P. CLOUGH, 647 Austin Av., Chicago. For sale by J. A. Story. 7ml v >h\- >*2 * J- J r , * * 1 * ' r* AS.'--4: W<< A*', . ...
