( JL_ I " THERE is not much in the average summer book, but there is still less in the average summer pocketbook after tiie annual vacation. DURING the past year more laboring Jen have secured an increase of wages Without asking it that ever secured an Jjlicrease by going on a strike. "' THE President of France receives a '-^;:f|;!SMary of $250 ,000 a year. Compared •.N , ~ with this princely income the American iVesident's salary of $50,000 a year is, sJadeed, a modest- stipend. is predicted that if tbafeNebmoka Corn crop escapes a hot wind for anoth­ er week there will not be a farm house in the state next fall unprovided with a concert grand graphaphone and an amateur photographer's outfit. REPRESENT ATI VE KETCH AM, of New York, who has been thirteen years in Congress and never made a speech, dis- aproves the old time theory that a Con­ gressman must be a speech-maker in .order to maintain his place in public life. REMEMBER their is no spot in the universe to which we can retreat from onr influence upon our fellow men. Age and youth both have their dreams. Youth looks at the possible, age at the probable. We may all profit much "by learning and practicing the luxury of doing all the good we can. "^"CANADA increases in population at a dower rate than any other country on the American continent. The census of 1891 shows that in ten years the number of inhabitants increased only 500.000, wfhile the growth in population of the United States during the same period Was in the neighborhood of 12,000,000. "W. A. STARK, of Buffalo, N. Y., says: "Let us not live to see how much good we can get out of the world, but rather strive to see how much good we can put into it. There can be no greatr reward for a good thought or a »oble deed than the inner peace it brings to the heart in whose garden it grows." THE poor man ariseth early, filleth his schedule, divideth it by five, swear- eth thereto, and goeth on his way re­ joicing. The rich man employeth a lawyer, figureth the exemptions, ex­ tenuates the non-assembles, expurgates the non-essentials, deducts the shrink­ ages, sweareth to the balance, and ex­ plains before the board of review why lie faileth to make a better showing. Verily, there are times when it is best to be poor. AN opinion was given out from the attorney general's office last Saturday, holding that stocks and bonds of the Ill­ inois Central railroad held by individuals are liable to taxation. In another opinion the attorneys of the state held that a aehool board cannot issue .orders on a •chool treasurer unless the funds are in Ms hands to pay the orders, but that warrants may be issued, payable out of Hie next tax levy, after such a levy has "been made, such warrants not to bear interest If- - . AN old man would not believe he could hear his wife talk five miles toy telephone. She was in a country Store several miles away where there was a telephone and her husbaDdwas in another place where there was a Similar instrument, and on being told ;I»W to operate it, he shouted: "Hello flarrah!" At that instant lightning struck the telephone wire and knocked the old man down, and as he scrambled to his feet excitedly cried out. "That 's Sarah every time." PRESIDENT MCKINLEY will enjoy his well earned vacation all the more because of the knowledge that he left public business in a very satisfactory condition. He has secured a man for Secretary of War in the person of Hon. Elihu Root, against whom no word of Criticism has been said even by his par- 7 tfcan opponents and Secretary Hay has Micceeded in getting the troublesome Alaska boundary question fairly on the toad to an early diplomatic settlement. 'The length of the President's stay on > ^ Lake Champlain will depend on Mrs. :iiIcKinley 's health and the state of pub­ lic business. THE man whose house is the best in the land, whose town is the best in the county, whose state is the greatest in the union, whose nation is the strongest in the world, is a gold citizen--whether he lis a resident owner, a mechanic, a school teacher, or a day laborer. He will do his trailing at home, even if he does have to pay a little more. He will take his own paper. He will always say a good word for his home, town and stand by every enterprise it may champion; he will be loyal to every edu­ cational cause adopted in it and work for the success of the same in pref­ erence to outside. Then as a reward for all this he will have prosperity and the highest regard of his neighbors. NOWADAYS, men of positive ideas are called cranks. This is to distinguish them from the empty heads whose brain is simply a concave mirror that reflects the views of others. Ben Franklin was a crank, Thomas A. Etlison is another, but both are somewhat distinguished in their way. Wendall Phillips was considerable of a crank and we are not sure that Pas­ teur and Koch do not belong to the same class. Enthusiasm, positiveness, counts. They are called cranks simply because men fail to understand the irresistible brain power of these men that sweeps out like a cyclone. They are more properly enthusiasts like St., Paul, whom FesturfT oalled the biblical crank. . : • " |.A TH)E Springfield (111.) Register, which has a keen eve for figures and exhibits considerable respect for them when po­ litical matters are not under discussion, has been compiling statistics on Chicago dogs, and draws some very interesting conclusions therefrom. Calling atten­ tion to the statement that there are now 838,000 licensed dogs in Chicago, that be­ fore the end of the season the number will be" increased by from 7,000 to 9,(K)0, and that about one out of every five dogs is provided with a license, the»Register says: "Figuring on this basis, the total canine population of the city is about 200,000. A fair estimate of the cost of keeping a dog is 25 cents a week. Tak­ ing into account only the dogs for which licenses are taken out, this would give a total of $10,000 a week. It is also esti­ mated that a child can be supported in comfort for as little as $3 a week. In other words, the money spent weekly in Chicago for the maintenance of dogs would keep nearly 3,500 children for the same length of time." ILLINOIS IN THE LEAD. Illinois continues to hold first place among the states in the amount of in­ ternal revenue taxes contributed to the support of the government. During the last fiscal year its total contribution was $47,359,523. New York came next with $46,634,980, Pennsylvania was third with $23,335,573, Kentucky was fourth with $22,215,234, and Oliio was fifth with $21,341,065. These figures fully justify the representatives of Il­ linois in congress in demanding for this state a liberal share of the appropria­ tions made for river and harbor im­ provements, for public buildings and for other public improvements. Such large contributions to the support of the government give Illinois a just claim to a generous share in all such appropriations. ROYAL Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

Railroad traffic men and grain deal­ ers have been making estimates of the crop of Nebraska, The recent rains have put it beyond danger .of even par­ tial failure and, barring limited areas where it has been damaged by storms, there never was a year when the pros­ pect was so promising. The estimates range in the neighborhood of 800,000,- 000 bushels, which is largely in excess of any previous year. In 1897 the corn crop was estimated at 229,000,000 bush­ els. GRADED CXTTLET ADMITTED FREE Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn last Saturday issued an order prescrib­ ing regulations for the admission into Cuba free of duty of graded cattle for breeding purposes, in compliance with the department's recent circular. The order restriots the period of admission till July 1 next; cattle shall be entered only at Havana, Cienfuegos, Neuvitas, and Mazan'lo, where proper inspection will be established; that none but pure bred or graded cattle immune from effects of the fever and of not less than one-balf blood of a recogr^zed breed shall be admitted. This latter provision is qualified so that cattle of a recognized breed of less than one-half blood, or graded cattle, whether of a recognized breed or not, may be admitted duty free if proof is presented that they are suitable for breeding purposes. A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little Daughter's Life. I am the mother of eight children and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in the worst form. We thought she would die. 1 tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good, I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlin's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recom­ mended and sent and got a Iwttle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. Iam anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suffering.- Yours trulv, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, R. I. For sale by Julia A. Story, Drnggist, McHenry 111. During the civil war, as well as in onr late war with Spain, diarrhoea was oue ot the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many in- tsances it becamti chronic and the old soldiers still suffer from it. Mr. David 1 ay lor, of Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa., is one of these. He uses Chaml>erlaiij 'a Cohc, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and savs he never found anything that would give him such quick relief.

It is now certain that everything will be ready for the opening on September 12. As this splendid structure emerges from the confusion attendant upon the con­ struction of so large an edifice. Its beauty and adaptability to the purposes for which it wps planned become strik­ ingly apparant. The mistakes so fre­ quently illustrated by architects who attempt to construct Normal schools are happily conspicuous by their absence. Mr. Brush was wise enough to submit his plans to the criticism of practical school men, and the result is substanti­ ally all that could be desired. He has built a monument to his* patience and skill. Imagine a somewhat narrow rectangle 875 feet long, fronting to the south, with five auxiliary structures on the north, all uniting to form a harmonious unity. Six hundred normal students and a model school of 400 children can be more comfortably housed. The laboratories are unusually fine, the auditorium has an easy seating capacity of 1,200, the library and book room are ample in size, and the recitation and study rooms are well lighted, thorough­ ly ventilated, and in all respects satis­ factory. A large gymnasium with suitable baths is one of the best features of the institution. * - Faculty is nearly fulL Dr. Charles A.

John A. Keith, a teacher of high repute and a graduate of Harvard University, will be the assistant to the president in the department of psychology and peda­ gogy. As science is to be a prominent feature of the work of this school, two university men of special training have been chozen. They are J. A. Switzer, of Cornell University, and Fred L. Charles, of Northwestern University. Newell D. Gilbert, for several years the Superintendent of the Austin school, will have charge of the public schools of DeKalb, and will conduct the course in School Organization and Management. Owen F, Parson is at the head of the Departement of Mathematics. He was for three years a teacher in the Illinois State Normal University, and is well known in Northern Illinois. Edward C. Page, a graduate of Lake Forest University and for several years an instructor in the University of Chicago, will have charge of the Civics and History. Two teachers are employed in the language work--Miss Mary R. Potter, graduate of the Northwestern Uni­ versity and for six years a teacher in the Normal school at Normal, and Miss Alice C. Patten, a graduate of the school at Normal and of Michigan University, and a highly reputable teacher. Miss Katharine Williamson, a woman of highly superior training and experi­ ence, will teach geography, or physiog­ raphy as it is more commonly called by the modern school men. The work in drawing will be in charge of a teacher of technical preparation and long experience--Miss Emma L. Stratford. Two or three additional teachers will be necessary, but they will be selected within the next few days. It thus appears that Northern Illi­ nois will soon have in active operation a thoroughly equipped modern Normal school. That the public schools of this part of the State will soon derive the largest advantage from such an institu­ tion goes without saying. Pupils are enrolling quite rapidly, and the indica­ tions point to an attendance that will be in every way satisfactory. Any account of this institution would be imperfect that omitted a mention of some of the men who have been espec­ ially generous in contribution for its equipment. Cylonel I. L. Ellwood, J. F. Glidden and Jacob Haish, the three wealthiest citizens of DeKalb, have made large gifts to the institution, and are keenly alive to its welfare. - Information concerning terms of ad­ mission can be secured by addressing President John W. Cook, DeKalb. MICA 'AXLE UREASE Removal!
