CUSHION DEVICE IS BESS. WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 22, 1897 WOOD, tte-T Th coffer ihgs of butter on the Elgin B nrd of trade Monday were small, 202 tubs Bidding opened at 18%c, but ad­ vanced almost instantly to 20c, at which sales were made. The market closed steady at 20c, the sales being 162 tubs. Ifif Mexican workmen, who get less than half what those of the United States get, are having a hard time now that they must take their pay in 40 cent dol­ lars. The American carpenter gets $2 50 per day in good 100-cent dollars, while the Mexican carpenter gets $1.50 in coin worth 40 cents on the dollar. The real value of the $1.50 which the Mexican gets is just 60 cents, against $2 50, which the American carpenter gets.' ' ' . : \v W.L.DOUGLAS All goods delivered to any ty. OWEN & JHAPELL. BaT" Some one has attempted the mur­ der of President Diaz. Had the attempt proved successful the assassin would have landed in the grave ere two weeks had gone into history. It is too bad that we-cannot enjoy the same laws here The grim old bird of justice is of a very sluggish disposition in the United States. .When we had waited a year and a half for the lawyers to make what money they could out of the assassination of Mayor Harrison, the outfit that tri ?d the murderer woke up to the facts in the ease--facts that had been apparent to everyone else for a year--and hung him. 1®°° Dr. Nansen^i the great explorer, failed to find the -North Pole, but he can console himself with the thought that he has done more than any other man to abolish the "thirteen superstition." The London World says of him: Not con. tent with being born on the thirteenth of the month, he went off on hisreeent expedition with a company of thirteen, all of whom returned safely. The Frem got clear of the ice on the thirteenth cf the month, and Nansen arrived at Tro- raoseo on the same day. And to crown all, he was entertained by the Royal Scottish Society on the occasion of their thirteenth anniversary, held on Feb ruary 13th. The new United States school his­ tory collated ;>y a Philadelphian receives the hearty endorsement of the G. A. R. and is subjected to severe criticism from those who were on the wrong side during the great rebellion. Jt is claimed by the adverse critics 'hat majiy things that are faithfully recorded in the book should now be forgotten in the interest of har­ mony between the two sections that struggled bravely for supremacy, albeit their truth is not df nied. There has been a feeling among people of Union proclivi­ ties that the youth of the land should be taught the? exact facts in regard to how the traitors, rebels and copperheads of 1801 were thwarted in their designs, and the best government upon the face of thp earth preserved. 16?" The London Daily Mail in an edi­ torial on the reported preparation in the United States for a fight with Spain, warns the American government and the Americans that they had better content themselves with writing warlike articles and firing Fourth of July sqnibs instead of rushing into battle with "stupid Europeans who mean business and fire real bullets. The "American govern­ ment and Americans" showed that they could do some real fighting in 17TG and 1812, as our friends across the water as­ certained to their sorrow. But neither England nor America wants war, and the Mail is in poor business in endeavor­ ing to arouse ill-feeling between the two countries. England, which has reasona­ bly free institution 4, ought to sympa­ thize with the Cubans who are struggling to rid themselves of oppression, instead of attacking the United States for legiti­ mate efforts to bring Spain to terms. IS" Postmaster General Gfy-y has taken up the matter of the establishment of postal savings banks in the United States, and intends to bring the subject to the attention of Congress at its next session. There is plenty of room for postal savings banks in this country Our present savings banks are -excellent in their way and are doing a vast work in teaching the masses the advantages of economy and, thrift, but it cannot have escaped observation that these banks are confined mainly to the older and more populous states, and that they are located chiefly in the cities and larger towns. Postal savincs banks originated' in Great Britain about half a century ago. Although the system has been adopted throughout Europe and Canada it is m the mother country that it seems to have reached the greatest measure of success. At the beginning of the present calendar year the banks owed deposito $540,000,000 and tfce depositors bered six and a half millions. A CAUTION" TO ANARCHISTS. Of course the Hezloton shooting has released a flood of anarchistic oratory. It is the first real opportunity the oral revolutionist has had to exploit his amiable theories in a long time, and he could not overlook it; So, because an indiscreet sheriff in eastern Pennsylvania lost his heud hundreds of peaceful and' industrious men in Chicago are to be assassinated, their houses burned, their children turned into the street. This is the logic of the anarchist. It is a sufficient pi*oof of the stability of our government that these lunatics are permitted to shriek in public and that their incoherent utterances are re­ ported by the newspapers. In Germany or France they would be clapped into jail; but, conscious of his own power and contemptuous of the foaming anger of neurotics, the law-abiding Ameri an citi­ zen half humorously tolerates them as he tolerates other minor nuisances. They do not even make him angry.. This may or may not be the prudenr course. The Haymarket massacre grew out of the public's undue patience toward systematic attacks on the authorities by a small band of ignorant and reckless men. But whether ic is better to laugh at the incendiaries or to to take them at their word and punish them as disturb­ ers of the peace this is certain, that the moment they attempt to carry their hatred for society into practice, the mo­ ment their bombs and torches cease to be figures of speech, they will feel the hand of the law on their throats. Thp fools who preach anarchy and the fools who follow their preaching are in equal danger. For, however tolerant of noise and skeptical of danger the people of Chicago may be, they have never lacked courage or seventy in the face of real danger. They will not hesitate to meet torches and bombs with "the business end of a Winchester." Let the idiots who talk anarchy bav< a thought for their own safety. The peo­ ple of this city are slow to wrath but in­ exorable in judgment, as they proved once and may have to prove again Times-Herald. Rook River Confer«nce. The fifty-eighth auntial session ol the Rock River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will convene at West­ ern Avenue chuych, Chicago, on Wednes­ day, October 6, Bishtip Merrill, of Chi­ cago, presiding. The membership of the Conference numbers over thfee hundred, two hundred and fifty of whom are in the active work, the others being supernum­ eraries and superannuates. The Conference is divided into six dis­ tricts, namely: Chicago, North Chicago, Joliet, Rockford, Dixon and Freeport. The limit of a Methodist pastorate is five years, but very few remain the full term. There are only five ministers in the entire conference serving their fifth year. The I Walworth County Fair By good management, liberal purses and premiums which are always prompt­ ly paid, the Elkhorn Fair has fairly earn­ ed the reputation of being the greatest county Fair in the world. The list of at­ tractions this year are more numerous than ever. The new amphitheatre is the best and largest of any county Fair in the United States and is built with mod­ ern improvements and an eye to com­ fort. It has a seating capacity of 4,000 people.

JST It was a four-in.hand drag with magnificent trappings, with driver and footman and ta-ra-ra horn. It was jusl the thing as it drove up to the plalform at Windsor Beach, near Buffalo, from whLh Senator Tillman was haranguicp a crowd on Labor day, to afford thai glorious orator a text, an object lesson, on the flaunting luxury of the rich. And when the tally-ho horn saluted him with three blasts his opportunity had come "Witness," he shouted pointing to tin- drag, "tbe disgusting things that wealth abetted by the gold bugs, is continually foisting upon us! Such an equipage is a disgrace to our free land. It is a vehicle to carry the rich, the slave-drivers of our land!" And then somebody pulled hit- coat tail and whispered in his ear. The senator thereupon changed the subjectrf his remarks. Shortly he brought them to a close. And then--then he got into that luxurious drag, and the servile foot man tooted his horn, and Tillman him­ self rolled away behind the "slave driv­ er's" four prancing steeds. For it was the money of his 16 to 1 admirers which bad hired that "plutocratic" conveyance at a livery stable, to give their cham pionaride! ST" The people of this country are be ginning to recognize the need of postal savings banks through the failures savings banks and other institutions which were supposed to give safety to the sums intrusted to them. Distrust has become prevalent through these fail ures and many are now advocating tb postal savings system as a remedy for the lack of confidence in banking inslitu tions. The postal savings banks are in successful operation by all the leadinp nations of the world, and they would contribute materially to the wealth and happiness of the people Of this nation Only one person in 14 is a depositor in the United States, while in England one per son in seven is a depositor in the postal savings banks.

They win be deemed in gold when Cuba is f-ee amounts of them have been preference to Cuba libre bo_. iUW Cubans themsdves would reject all offers of the United States to establish an autonomy similar to Canada, which .oemstobeMcKinleys policy, so far as can be guessed at.

For more than twenty years we have been telling how Scott's Emulsion overcomes the excessive waste of the system, pots on flesh, nourishes and builds up the body, making it the remedy for all wasting di­ seases of adults and children, but it isn't possible for us to tell the story in a mere stick­ ful of newspaper type. We have had prepared for us by a physician a little book, telling in easy words how and why Scott's Emulsion benefits, and a postal card request will be enough to have it sent to you free.
