SCUROEDER, of Chicago, has pur­ chased of 1 leimer & Eaglen two lots at River Park, north of the Iron Bridge, which he proposes to build on in the near future.

That Mrs. Long will acquit herself with honor no one in this section for a moment doubts We shall chronicle the result for the benefit of our readers and her many friends here. TOE melancholy days are come, the saddest of our time; the chilly blasts be­ gin to blow from far, far off northern clime.

A special from Woodstock under date of Nov. 8th, says: '"Joel H.Johnson died suddenly last night. He was one of the oldest settlers of McHenry County. He came here in 1836 and named this city after his native home in Vermont. He was for years a leadsr in Democratic councils in this county. He was circuit clerk and recorder during President Bu­ chanan's administration, and was post­ master during President Cleveland's first term. He was a supporter of Palmer and Buckner in the last campaign. Mr Johnson was in his eightieth year, and had been thrice married, his last wife dying a fdw years ago. He leaves one son, Elmer C-, a prominent business man of Evansville, Iud." THE mail train, which passes this sta­ tion at 7:28 A.

W. J. Meehan, on Thursday, Nov. 5tb,;j8D6, at 10 o'clock a. m:. Peter Doherty, ot Terra- Cotta, and Miss Mary Welch, of McHenry. In this happy affair, John Walsh, our efficient City Marshall, acted as best man and Miss Ella Welch, Bister of the bride, as bridesmaid. The marriage ceremony proper was followed by the more beauti­ ful ceremony of solemn high nuptual maes; the celebrant being our pastor, Rev. W. J. Meehan, with ReV. L. M Meehan, of Morris, III., and Rev. Father Kirsch pastor of the German church, as deacon and sub-deacon, respectively. Father Meehan preached an eloquent sermon on the beauty and importance of the true catholic marriage concluding with a glowing tribute to the newly married couple; for their'staunch cathol­ icity and purity of character. After the ceremonies at the church which were wit­ nessed by the relatives and a few intimate friends of the bride and groom, a recep­ tion was held at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Welch. where a few.houra of pleasant social chat and a sumptuous dinner served to stamp the event upon the memories Of all present, as one of those golden gleams, which, no w and then brighteu, so beautifully the mohotony of every day lite. The bride looked beautiful indeed, in an exquisite weddiug go wn of'changeable taffeta silk, with white chiffon drapings caught up with delicate yellow roses. The brides­ maid wore a beautiful dress of soft lavender goods and carried pink carna­ tions. The groom and best man -were both attired ia black. The presen ts were many, costly and beautiful, and will be held as tokens of high esteem from true friends. Mr. aud Mrs. Doherty took an afternoon train for a short wedding tour after which they will return here aud make this thoir future home. May the years of their married life be prosperous and happy and may they hive not one sigh of care nor one tear of regret to shadow the brightness of their golden redding day COM.

J. A. Story. How the State University Serves the Interests of the State- The botanical department of the Agri­ cultural Experimental Station expects soon to issue a bulletin on the smut of broom corn. During the last four or five years this department has .been making a special study ot the smuts of agricultural plants to learn the life his­ tories of these minute plant parasitep, and to find methods for preventing or lessening their ravages. As Illinois pos­ sesses one of the largest broom corn dis­ tricts of the world, and as smut is one of the principal foes of the plant, the re­ sults of the experiments that have been carried on are of especial interest to the people. This department also aims to make itself useful to the people offtM? 6tate by answering inquiries concerning any diseases of plants or concerning ob­ noxious weeds. When possible speci mens should accompany such inquiries. "Excuse me," observed the man in spectacles, "but I am a surgeon, aud that is not where the liver is." "Never you mind where his liver is," retorted the other. "If it was in his toe or his left ear DeWitt's Little Early Risers would reach it and shake it for him. On that you can bet your gig-lamps. J.

LESSONS IN FIRST AID A TRAINED NURSE TELLS ABOUT QUICK REMEDIES. Treatment of Dislocations and Sprains. How to Place a Bandage--An Impro­ vised Tourniqnet--What to Do In Cases of Nosebleed and Bnrns. She was a-very capable little woman and usually "sized up" to any occasion, but the care of those children was likely to prove a little too much for her. When she married a widower and un­ dertook the care of his five boys she knew that she would have to face many unexpected situations, and braced her­ self to do her best. She Was not pre­ pared, however, for what she calledc&e "breakage" in the family. The constant risk to life and limb that five active, sport loving boys were capable of was a new feature in her young life, and she felt that she was in danger of losing her head unless she prepared herself to meet the different nails upon her motherly care. - ' ' 1 ••"'• In her extremity she appealed to hei friend, the trained nurse. • "Can't you give me some,points," she said. "Tell me of the proper thinffe to do before the doctor comes in case of certain accidents--won't yon?/ Then there are many little things--bruises and burns and things that I could attend to myself without sending for a doctor if I only knew how. Do help me out. Suppose, for instance, cue of the boys fell and broke his arm, what should I do before.the doctor came?" "If I were you, I would do nothing but wait, unless the surgeon was delay­ ed. In that case I would simply place the limb in between a folded pillow, fastening the pillow firmly together, thus making a sort of splint. "You will very likely have a sprain or two to deal with. You can either ap­ ply cloths saturated with ice water un­ til the swelling disappears, or you may use very hot water with vinegar in the same way. After the swelling has dis­ appeared you had better bandage the limb and let the little patient rest it ou a level until it gets strong. " "But I don't know how to apply a bandage," was the forlorn reply. "Then it is about time that you did, * said the trained nurse. "Give me a piece of muslin and your bare foot, and I'll show you how. " Then the nurse took the piece of mas- lin and tore it into strips of 3 inches in width. Then saying, "Always begin at the extremity of a limb and work to­ ward the center of the body from left to right," she placed one of the ends of the strip at the instep and made a turn around the base of the toe. Then she carried the band diagonally over the foot, across the point of the heel and back from the other side, until it coin­ cided with the first turn. This was then covered and carried a second turn around the heel, half an inch higher than the first. She then continued to make alter­ nate turns under the sole and behind the heel, crossing over the instep until the entire foot was covered. Iif finish­ ing the bandage she split the last quar­ ter of yard of the strip through the mid­ dle, wound the ends in opposite direc­ tion around the limb and tied them in a bow. Then tho baud was all unwound again, and the pupil, trying her hand, was delighted to see what a "firm band­ age" she could make after two or three attempts. ' "In case of dislocation," continued the nurse, "there is always need of in­ stant action. Muscular tension increases rapidly and its reduction becomes more difficult with every hour that passes. "Fingers and thumbs can be set by pulling in place, but be careful not to use too much force. A joint is always weak­ er after an accident and should be strap­ ped in place until strong again. "Freddie's nose bled awfully the oth­ er day and frightened me so because I could not stop it. It stopped itself after awhile, but what should I have done?" "It is a good thing to press gently the facial artery at the base of the nose and place cold applications to forehead and neck. I suppose you had him lean his head over a basin. Yes; most people do, and that is just the worst attitude possible. You should have made him stand erect, throw his head back and elevate his arms, while you held a cold, damp sponge to his nostrils. If you have an occasion like that again, and the bleeding continues after what I have told you to do has been tried, you had better syringe with salt and ice cold water or a solution of iron. "In the case of burns or 6calds, if they are very bad send for your physi­ cian, but slight ones you can very well attend to. The first thing in such cases is to exclude the air. I find that baking soda and sweet oil make a soothing, healing application. If you can't get that conveniently, beat up the white of an egg and apply that with a bandage." "Will you tell me how to stop the flow of blood in case of cut, and then I'll let you go?" "Find the artery that is cut and tie a handkerchief around the limb just over where it bleeds. Tie the handkerchief tightly; then make, say, three hard knots. In the last knot insert a piece of stick with which you must twist the handkerchief until it is tight enough to stop the flow. The handkerchief and stick make as good a tourniquet, as we call it, as any one would wish."--Phil­ adelphia Press. A Morning Monologne.

HOW TO PREVENT CROUP. Some Reading that will prove interest' ingto Young Mother*., How to guard against the Disease. Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the ob­ ject of this item. The origin >of croup is a common cold.

This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is eas­ ily recognized and will never beforgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy if freely given all tendency to croup will soon dis­ appear. Even after the croupy cough has developed it will prevent the attack.
