ADOLPH FISCHER is now delivering speeches in German in different parts of the county, under the direction of the County Central Committee, and we hear them spoken of in the highest terms of praise. He is an easy, fluent and forcible speaker' and is dealing sledge-hammer blows to Altgeld aud^his Popocrat fol­ lowers. The committee have done well to secure his services, and he should be heard in every school district where there is a German voter. He will speak at Franklinville on Saturday evening next. New stock of fall and winter Dutchess Trousers, from $1.50 to ?4.50 just re­ ceived at S. Stoffel's. ON a recent Sabbath a minister preach­ ing with a good deal of force and earnest­ ness, suddenly stopped in the midst of his discussion and said to one of the good brothers in the congregation: "Brother as you seem to be the only per­ son in the house who is awake you may come up here into the pulpit and 1 will repeat the rest of my sermon in a conver­ sational tone. It will save my voice and be less annoying to the sleepers." THURSDAY, Sept. 10, at the Boone county Fair, while engaged in a debate on the money question with a prominent silver orator, Hon. Chas. E. Fuller, of Belvidere, got off a cute thing as follows: "When a boy I studied in arithmetic that old table of Un|ted States money, 10 mills make one cent, 10 cents make one dime, etc, I think that table should be changed, as I know of 10 mills that haven't made one cent in the past two years.

Last June a prisoner, awaiting trial for burglary, committed suicide with a piece of broken glass, and said before he died he would return and haunt the place. Apparently he has kept his promise. A drunk locked in the Same c ill recently raised a hub-bub at 2 o'clock in the morning and the jailer found the cell bed inflames, the drunk declaring it had been set on fire by a ghost from the pit. Four tramps con­ fined there later said they had an un­ earthly visitor who pulled the clothes off the bed and played other pranks. Aurora whisky must be frightful.

Harry Dunnill, one of the early settlers of Nippersink Point, died at his home, Wednesday morning, Sept. 9, aged 58 years -4 months and 22 days. Mr. Dun­ nill was born in England and came to America when he was eighteen years of age, and has since made his home at Nippersink, and was well and favorably known by sportsmen and pleasure seek­ ers at the famous summer resort of Fox Lake. The cause of his death was bron­ chial asthma and Bright's disease. The funeral services were held at the house Sept. 11th, Rev. P. S. Lent, pastor of the M. E- Church at Antioch, preaching a very impressive and consoling sermon. The remains were laid to rest in the Graes Lake cemetery. The bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of all. OBITUARY. Zillah Skinner was born at Milanville, Pa , April 0, 1819, and was married to Wm. Stevens July 3, 1845. They lived at Honesdale until 1848 when they mov­ ed to Illinois and settled near Ringwood. Six children were born to them. Two of them lie in Ringwood cemetery. Mrs. B. A. Park, of Painesville, Ohio, Olive, Esther, George aud Nathan still live to mourn the loss of the dearest earthly friejod, a kind and loving mother. In early life she united with the M. E. church, of which she was a consistent member till death. Mrs. Stevens was an iuvalid for many years, and at times a great sufferer. She bore her suffering with great patience, and we always found her bright and cheerful. The Bible was a source of great comfort to her, and many houi^s were spent in its perusal. That Saviour to whom she gave her young heart more than ha|lf a century ago was her comfort and sup- DortKto the last, and when hgr earthly sufferings were over she went where she will dwell with Him forever, 1 _ W.N.

It weaves a web with the name " McKinley" across it in bold let­ ters. No less truthful a person than Rey. Geo. S. Young0 vouches for this. Mr. You^g was formerly pastor of Elgin's First M. E. church. We don't know hie politics, but do know his veracity. Last week Rev. S. Earngey was in the city and Mr. Young sung the praiSes of that spider--not a political songf-but one of admiration. The^S^rder lives in a drug store at the corner of 51st and State street, atad Mr. Earngey went to see it and its wonderful web. The spider was there but the web was gonei "A cloth fell upon it by accident and wiped it off," explained the druggist, "but there will be another one. The insect has already made two, and each had the name across it." .

AN exchange truthfully says that the weekly newspaper editor who can pay his bills w:ithout drawing on some money previously made or borrowing, has a valuable piece of property. This is strictly true. The newspaper publishers of the country newspapers have never experienced such times as these. They must economise everywhere, live cheap­ er, reduce their help, or wages paid, and even then find themselves having a hard pull for life. But this same thing is true of.business men and farmers. They too, are borrowing in many instances and wondering if they will be able to meet their notes when due. In fact it is no longer a question of profits with anyone, but a question of existence.

An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking it they were sold here, Btating if they were not she would bring a quan­ tity with her, as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm -for rheuma­ tism, lame back, pains" in the side and chest, and Chamberlain's. Colic, Cholpra aud Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com­ plaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa for almost a quar­ ter of a century.
