WST Butter was firm at 15c on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday. The offerings were 990x tubs and sales were 7AO/.. A bid or 15c was placed on every lot as fast as offered. " v • tgr* A, L. Leutgart, a Chicago sausage maker has been arrested by the police on the charge of having first murdered his wife and afterwards having destroy­ ed her body by the aid of quick-lime, acids and incineration. The fated woman was last Seen on the evening of May 7th. ' "• •• . . new policy has been adopted in the handling of business in the pension bureau at Washington that means much to many applicants for pensions. Under this policy the applications for original pensions are to bj^&iven preference over the applications for increase made by those already drawing pensions. ftS" The actions of the House and Sen­ ate are being closely watched by Illinois. A strong battle is being waged there be­ tween the rights of the people and the power of boodle, and the time,, has come when a legislator arraigns himself on one side or the other. The one who at­ tempts to take a colorless middle course gains the contempt of both sides.--Bel- videre Standard. The New Pension Commissioner. We find in one of our exchanges the following clipping in regard to -Pension Commissioner Evans. He is -eyidently the right man in the right place: There was a wild scene of enthusiasm when Commissioner Evans was presented to the gathered veterans, which was in­ tensified when he announced his intention to deal liberally with veterans in the, matter of pensions. He said : "In my official position I find myself confronted With grave responsibilities. But I want to say I shall endeavor to do my duty to the old soldiers. I am not here • to send spies out through the land to see how 1 can prevent giving pensions to old soldiers. I simply want the government to do its duty by the old soldiers, the men who saved this nation. I want to grant to them such pensions as the law allows. We, do not want any hair' split­ ting over these pension cases, but at the same time we do not want to let the machine run away with us. As a public servant, I shall strive to do my duty both by the government and my old comrades, with afull appreciation of the responsibilities involved in its perform- ance." . , A Judge's Earnestness. In passing sentence upon Jas. Gordy for murdering his wife, a woman born in Milwaukee, Justice Lord, of Georgetown, Del., said: "It is further designated to impress upon you the necessity for such preparat­ ion as you may make in the few re­ maining days of your life, to meet your God, and it may be to meet the spirit of that murdered wife, who waits for you iij the Other world, where you will be ar­ ranged at the bar of God. Lay aside every hope other than that founded up- the infinite mercy of our blessed viour, whoa came into the world to save even murderers, like you, if with repentence and faith you come unto Him. From this hour we beseech you that you look to Him and Him only for you have no other refuge." There has been considerable com­ ment on the appointment of a colored lad to a cadetship at Annapolis. It is to be deplored that such an un-American spirit has been manifested by some whom it would seem are much more capa ble of higher and nobler sentiments. The young man has thoroughly demonstrate ed his ability to fill the place and if the common sense ana patriotism of those who are giving vent to such brainless prejudices were only as fit for the posi­ tion as he. they might be of some honor to themselves as well as to the school and their country. (gTThe great Yerkes telescope has been put in place in the observatory at Lake Geneva, and when the lensee are put in the tube the instrument will be the largest in the world and its research es into the mysteries of the starry firma­ ments will be awaited with interest. The ' lense is forty inches in diameter, two and and one-half inehes in the middle, and weighs 200 pounds. It took two years of constant labor to finish the Yerkes object glass after it came from the cruci ble in a rough block. A committee of experts upon examination found it to be perfect and that it gathers 23 per cent more light than the great objective the Lick Observatory. Lilly Langtry, the professional stage beauty, has secured a divorce in California from her husband, who re­ sides in England. In an interview she is made to remark that she does not know why Mr. Langtry deserted her. Just for a pointer, the late Mrs. L. might exam­ ine the files of newspapers published some years ago in which appeared column up­ on column commenting upon the chase of one Freddie Gebhard in quest of the "Jersey Lily," all over this continent and part of Europe. Most any man would come to the conclusion that he wag not wanted around under such cir­ cumstances as were set forth by the wicked reporters. It is reported that Turkey's terms of peace with Greece include the follow­ ing: 1. The payment of an indemnity of £3,000,000 (§15,000,000). 2. A rearrangement of the Greek fron­ tier. 3. The annulling of the treaties favor­ ing the Greeks. 4. The cession oLthe Greek fleet to Turkey. 5.

"It was built by Judge Reynolds sixty years ago and was at that time considered a man­ sion. The frame was of oak, the lath split from thin oak boards, many of the doors were of black walnut, the window lights were six by'eight glass. But half of the upper story was ever finished off, and one had to get out of bed on the tront side or bump his head on the ceiling. Yet many families have found shelter under its roof. N. D. Stevens' new house now occupies the same lot, which, with its oak trees and command­ ing position, makes it the prettiest spot in our village.

A few days ago it was an airship that could actually speed about in any direction in the heavens and which returned to its starting point after sailing away fifteen miles. Now comes the proposition to supersede the railroad locomotive with electric power, and the experiment has proved a success up to a certain limit. In New England it was tried, using a third rail as a trolley wire. The speed was very rapid, and the distance between power houses thirteen miles. Railroad men claim that electric­ ity can never take the place of steam, but there are doubters. This all opens up an interesting field of speculation as to the result of such an invention on the industrial interests of the world. Such a plan carried into effect would throw thousands of men out of employment and replace them by a few specialists, would create an industrial revolution ThiB is indeed the age of change.

It is Republican through and through. It is brief, pointed, direct and luminous The more Republicans like him in the Senate the better. He says: I favor a Republican policy in accord with the St. Louis platform. 1 am for sound- money, a protective tariff, for the arbitration treaty, against trusts and combines where formed to in­ terfere with rights qf citizens, and for such laws as will best serve to build up . American institutions.. I am in thorough accord with the Re­ publican administration, and will act with my party on such matters of legis­ lation as are now before the people in the framing of a tariff bill and other measures. I deem it for the best interests of the American people to pass a tariff bill im­ mediately, and- to maintain a stable gold standard, and shall support proper legislation working to these ends. I am a Republican after the Blaine and McKin- Jey style. IN McCIure's Magazine for. June wijl appear an article by Prof. S. P. Langley, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution describing the "flying machine" that he himself has lately completed, after ten years of laborious experiment, and which is the first "flying machine" ever made by man, that has actually flown. The article will be fully illustrated from draw­ ings and photographs made under Prof. Langley's own direction. In view of the great interest and importance of the subject, and of the fact that it is Prof. Langley's own account of his machine, the article is bound to attract wide attention. These for Monday.

It would ap­ pear that crows are as wise as they try to look. This at least is the opinion of the observer who relying on a tip from them predicts a fine summer. He says he has noticed, during an experience of thirty years, that when the crows build on the topmost branches of the trees they aye knowingly looking forward to good weather; but when they choose a site for the family mansion further down it indicates their distrust of the coming season. This year they^are going ahead with building operations,., high perched on the topmost bough, so on the author­ ity of these sable prophets, who have an extended experience of the open air, housewifes may prospect for salt water lodgings, daughters may pleadior bikes, and the jaded penman dream of sunny holidays to come.
