His death was painless and in few minutes after talking to his wife |$MNd away. r Robert Green Ingesrsoll was born in pmten,N. Y., Aug. 11, 1888. His ; Jfcther was a Congregational minister, 'laad a preacher of great power as a revi­ valist Early in Ms ministry he moved •mmt, and Robert, the youngest of his family, was inured to the hardships of life. His education was largely from reading all the books he w/ Xcould borrow in the different parishes Jof hut childhood and youth, and fortun- '* UWi> UUiV4Ut/UU | ̂ * He began the study of law in Marion, V- r # ^ UJL, and in 1855 he opened an office at 4.;" • Shswneetown, in partnership with his i ' elder brother, Eben, for six years mem- j} ber of Congress. In 1857 the brothers ^ V ^ moved to Peoria, which became his ' V, 1 K home for the next twenty years. C " ^nKer8t>H entered politics in I? ̂ i <jjjf»' I860 as a Democratic candidate for Con- 'p", i®*®88, cMfpaign he made is still re- . f*"- saembered by the old men of the district. v Even then he boldly declared himself ^ opposed to davery and outran his con- | « * \' sei vstive Republican opponent in den- ^ unciation of it. He ran far ahead of ®fI?'1,48 ttcket, but was defeated. When tbs war came he was the leader of the f • «ar Democrats and made haste to de- !?^ «c&mn himself a supporter of the Lincoln ^ admistratkm. From that time on he L&1. waea Republican in politics. In 1864 'M , j ,he shared with his friend, Richard J. . Oglesby, the burdens and honors of frf 'v a thorough canvass of the state, P|. 1 He became known all over the state as Hc/j- & HB55S*" -- TN ; l{ T r ̂mmmummv VAVl|UVUb COUipCM^UUI* 1/UilU^ Governor Oglesby's term the office of ^. attorney-general of Illnois was created to be filled until the next state election by appointment. Governor Oglesby appointed Colonel Ingersoll to that offlee and that was the only office he ever held. In 1868 Colonel Ingersoll Was a candi­ date for Governor before the Republi­ can state convention. He was defeated on account of his agnostic views. He never after sought any political position. Be took a very active part in the cam- jwlgns, speaking in Indiana, Maine, Ohto, and Iowa, as well as Illinois. In reviewing the life of this celebrated man we shall endeavor to do so in a lair and impartial manner. Being well •ware of the fact that the main purpose * ai Us Mfe was to destroy that which i?' r Wpa the most sacred to the Christian world, still we refrain from saying any Isr.^ i word of him but leave him to be 3»d#ed by a Power far superior to man Col Ingersoll was not a great jurist in the same sense as was Chief Justice Marshall and Justice Field. It was vastly more accountable to the fact that he was a man possessed of wonderful "Cunning," and at the same time a great pleader, that won for Kim such an unenviable record as a lawyer. He was te sesing Mid analytical in thought. ing all these elements in #t was the uteaaa of making iidm a ess pleader. an orator CoL Ingersoll was world- wi it. iH»pa SWicas a1 %ob" llpiericanpeople. .M.„„ „ a high rank which alj|lS| by his striking personality and ncMNllarity among the masses. Col. Ingersoll was an Amerioanand patriot of the highest type. Few there are who can question his loyalty to his country. He believed in the federal union, and to uphold it he would resort to force of arms. So after organising several regiments in the state he col­ lected the members of the 11th Illinois cavalry, and at their front marched south to the field of battle in 1862. Col Inger­ soll and his men took part in numerous engagements, but the colonel particul­ arity distinguished himself at the battle of Corinth. Here he was made a pris­ oner, however. He was exchanged and resumed service in the field. Two and a half years brought to an end Col. Ingersoll's service in arms. He was compelled by ill health to resign from the army. It was, however, on account of his atheistic views that he possessed such a world-wide reputation. We can only give his views. It is not necessary to comment. It was no doubt due in a large measure to his extreme hatred lor the different creeds that placed him in a position entirely antagonistic to the Christian doctrine. He said: What drew my attention first to these questions was the doctrine of eternal puinshment. This was so adhorrent to my mind that I began to hate the book in which it is taught. Then, in reading law, going back to find the origin of law I found one had to go back but a little way before the legislator and the priest are united. This led me to study a good many religions of the world. At first I was greatly astonished to find most of them better than ours. I then studied our own system to the best of my ability and found that people were palming off upon their children and upon one anoth­ er, as the inspired word of God, a book that upheld slavery, poligamy and almost every other crime. Whether I am right or wrong I became convinced that the bible is not an inspired book, and then the only question for me to settle was as to whether I should say what I believed or not. This really was not the question in my mind, because before ever thinking of such a question, I expressed my belief, and I simply claim that right, and expect to exercise it as long as I live. I may be damned for it in the next world, but it is a great source of pleasure to me in this." Ingersoll's works,, "The Mistakes of Moses," "The Brain and the Bible," "Modern Thinkers, "and many other treatises, have been discussed through- o u t t h e w o r l d . » - . l T , t , ' TO OUR READERS.

It is estimated that there are fifty million coffee drinkers in America. We have long since passed the mark of being the largest coffee consumers in the world, one-third of the entire coffee being used in America. This proportion has been steadily growing since 1861 when the total amount of coffee imported was only 79,000 tons: From Brazil, Peru, Java andSumartra Ceylon, India, Africa, the Phillipines, and the islands of the tropical seas, bags, bales and barrels pour into New York city every year by the hundreds of thousands. From New York they are distributed to all parts of the country. But the greater portion of the coffee imported is retained in New York by the famous firm of Arbuckle Bros.- the largest coffee dealers in the "world. They buy more than all other dealers combined, and the name Arbuckle has become synonymous for immense deal­ ings in the favorite breakfast beverage. This has given them great prestige among coffee growers in every, part of the world; and as large buying always makes for good buying, it is not surprising that Arhnckles hiu become famous as the standard of coffee values, a standard no other house has been able to reach. Millions of homes in every section of the country to-day use nothing hat Arbuckles coffee. The test of experience has taught the careful housewife that her faith not only means money saved, but that she is supplying the best coffee that money can procure for the coffee drinkers of the household. One immense advantage possessed by deliver the coffee berry to the con- summer with all its delightful aroma and flavor intact. This they do by a process, the patents of which they exclusively hold, covering the many little pores of the berry thereby hold­ ing in its. goodness. The ingredients used in the process are entirely whole­ some and nothing deleterious is used to mar the delicacy of flavor or taste. Part of the success of Arbuckles' coffee has been due to the generous package system used to popularise it. In each of the coffee there is a list of articles. With each package in which the list is found the purchaser buys a definite part of some article to be selected by him or her from the list sub­ ject only to the condition that the sig­ nature on the package is to be cut out and returned to Arbuckle Bros. Every­ body should see this list. IS I* RIGHT . •• Kditor to BceomMtl PatMt Medicine? Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, ll" V ^ may k® a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet aa a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a gooid word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depend­ ing implicitly on any medicine for a C?rerVbut^e do te11®™ that if a bottle or Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician ^ ould not be required.

It has often been Wondered at that Mexico, with a climate admirably adapted to sugar raising, has never en­ tered into competition with the United States. Official figures show that the republic of Mexico is now producing an­ nually about 80,000 tons of sugar, all made from cane and with the most primitive machinery. It is all consumed at home. Figures which are also official show that Cuba produces annually a million tons of sugar, or 12 times more than is produced in Mexico, and on one- fifth the number of plantations. The reason advanced for this difference is that Cuba employs modern methods of machinery, while Mexico doeB not. There is no likelihood that Mexico will come into the sugar market as an ex­ porter for a great many years. Cuba, however, will develop with great ra­ pidity in the manufacture of sugar, and under American direction her factories are expected to almost double their out­ put within a decade. Mexico cannot hope to be a •formida­ ble rival in the sugar-producing indus­ try until she discards her old custom of manufacture and adopts at least some of the modern labor-saving ap­ pliances. Railroad Dodges a Van*. s Did you ever know of a railroad going around a man's farm? Well, there is in fountain county, and it is only a few miles south of Veedorsburg, says a writer in the Veedersburg (Ind.) News. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois, when It- vrp" ffcr r*̂ you no doubt remember, was first ex­ tended to Yeddo. They surveyed a line through the east line of a farm and through a man's house. He objected and wanted a fancy price, which it looked as if he would get, and they curved around his land into his more liberal neighbor's, and after passing his farm curved back into line. It is quite noticeable, and every passenger going south notices the peculiar short curves,wondering why they were made. Armlca* Brides.
