]£<$|eir! ̂ lairietier. WEDNESDAY DEC. 15,1880. J. VAN SLYKE. Editor WAUCON OA "CHIP** r BT 8Kr MMKIT. EDITOR PLAINDRAI.RR:--Weather 'George Bliss informs rton. Gert. H. Ely. of Cleveland, that the prose* cntlnn of the persons. Iiljjli and low. engaged in the Morey forgery business will be conducted with unrelenting vigor, until justice does her perfect work. "Ifjt takes all winter and all next summer."' Mr. Bliss seldom promises, but what he does promise he Is sure *o perform. Both he and Mr, Stoughton are acting in this prosecu­ tion, without fees. SSfDiscusRlng the permanency of the preselit general business activity, the Inter Ocean says: One of tlie most conclusive as well as one of the most signiricaut of^ the evidences of the prodiglonsness of the "boom" which has taken place In bus­ iness is presented in the tact that (scarcely a manufacturer can be found. Kast or West, whose productive ca­ pacity U not sold for mouths ahead, and whose greatest solicitude Is. not to secure more orders, but to deliver according to contract, those which he has on hand. We are told, for instance that, the Elgin Watch Company have on their books orders to the aggregate aiuonnt of three aiillion dollars, equal to two full yea»s of their operative power, ami that they are constantly obliged, in consequence of being so loaded up. to refuse importunate ap­ plications froni new seekers of their products. The Edgar Thomas Steel Company, at Pittsburgh, are reported to have sold aU the steel rails the}* can make during all the next year. Nearly every one of the other Bessemer works Is similarly sold ahead. Any close ob­ server must have noticed throughout Chicago the Heavy increase of manu­ facturing plant, in process of erection during the past year, embracing both |resh enterprises and the extuusion of old establishments. All these cirenin stances are extraordinarily sugges tive of a vast and mighty activity of the productive forces, and of the im­ patient urgency of the general demand. t H&"The Elgin Advocate of Satur­ day last has the followig in relation to the death of Father Fitzsimmons. who is well known in this county; A telegram from Chicago last Wednesday evening announced the sudden 'death iu that city of Rev. Ter- rance Fitzsimmons. pastor of the Elgin Oatholie church from 1808 until 1877.-- Rev. Fitzsimmons was born in 1813. in County Tyrone, Ireland; his boyhood was spent on a farm and he enjoyed few educational privileges. When about 20 years of age he came to Amer­ ica and after attending schools in Mon­ treal and Philadelphia was ordained priest in 1835. For twenty years he was located at Boston and worked un­ tiringly for the building up of his religion and the advancement of his psopie. He came West in 1857 and was stationed at Hartland, McHenry '•county; his parish there was a large one. comprising most of the comity.-- From Hartland became to this city.-- The deceased was a man • of great energy, unusual ability, and good com- mon sense; bluff, outspoken, and lion #st, hU position and opinion at all times and on all things were|never mis­ understood. Wherever he was located to life, there are many friends who will regret his death. His admirers were not confined to those of his own creed, and those who knew him best lield fetinhighest in their estimation. Swindling the Farmers. We alluded recently to a swindle which had been perpetrated upon an Otto Township farmer by the agent s>f a wagon-tongue supporter. The Same fraud has been played in other counties.' A DeKalb County farmer gave an order for a number of the supporters, and also gave his note for #150 for security. That note was sold to an innocent party, and Mr. Farmer frill have to stand the shot. Another confiding farmer in the same county Signed an agreement to become an agent, but discovered when too late that he had signed a contract to take iHo worth of goods. The stranger Who presented this contract to the . •an for collection offered to "compro- intae,*' and presented another paper for the farmer's signature, osteti6ibly- fiving him further time in which to |lake payment, but which turned out 'to be a bmia-flde promissory note for tlje amount, #115, which, of course, he will have to pay.--Kankakee (IU.,) Gazette. •9»Capt. Bogardus has long aston­ ished the world by his skill with rifle and shot gun. His son* seem to in­ herit their father's talent. Both fath­ er and sons held an ezhibitiou of their skill at McCormack's Hall, Chicago last week. The "Rifle Shoot" wu evi­ dently designed chiefly to display the •kill of the young bevy of Bogardus^s, and was trulj%remarkable. Eugeue the elder boy broke twenty live glass balls thrown by his father, unerringly hit nicking; ?uar ters, and half dollars thrown tip into the air. and broke ten glass balls on the wing in twenty-one Seconds. The two smaller boy<s rung the bell of a target every time they •hot at it, Uid the S-year-ol'l performed the William Tell feat by shooting a glass bail oft the lie ad of an effigy. Cap­ tain Bogardus himself shot Che allies oft a cigar held in the mouth of his eldeet son, enufled a eandle iu the hands of the little fellow, and perforw- formed several remarkable shots with • d««We-Welled shot-gun upon K|afiI. balls flung from traps. Among Eugene's remarkable performances were the following.* First, ehootine a ball with a rifle up side down and on ton of shooter's head. Second, shooting a ball with tl*» gun turned side ways. Third •hooting a ball up side down, laying hi« back on ilia father's knee. Knnn4 not so cold in this latitude as it has been, Roads are excellent, evenings moonlight, and every body mad be­ cause there's no snow. A. P, Werden, a resident of Wan- con da, but who for the past three months, has been engaged In construct­ ing some buildings at Aurora, 111, re­ turned home last Saturday. Wauconda people extended to him a hearty greet- ing. A young man about twenty years of age was found lying beastly drunk last Saturday, under the shed at the M. E. Church. He is reported to have come by the stage from Elgin where he got .his whisk}', Such characters 'ought to be promptly arrested by the town au­ thority and placed iu the cuilahoose. It is reported that the Gazette cor­ respondent of tills place, after seeing the notice in the P. O. of the meeting of the Amateur Thespian Literary Society, went home and searched dili­ gently tiir^ut'h the pictorial illustra­ tions on the last page of Webster's Un­ abridged. eagerly hoping to find a picture of "Amateur Thespian," He closed the book wi tli a sigh and im­ mediately wrote to the Gazette ad­ vertising for a ditlnition. Miss Ettie Swinson now graces the store of J. R. Wells, she having been employed as clerk for the above named firm. Miss Bangs is now employed as clerk in our drug store. She is an efficient clerk and is a valuable addition to this enterprising and largely patronized firm. No owe should fail to call, when in town, and take a peep at- least at the great variety of goods kept there. The Amateur Thespian Literary So­ ciety ' gave one of their excellent en­ tertainments at the High School builds inglast Friday evening. Johnny Golden, our genial post­ master, is one of the enterprising busi * ness men of our village. He has through" ly renovated and repaired his building and has oi hand a fine stock of furni­ ture. The Baptist Sabbath School had an attendance lastJSabbath of about 13 per cent better than ever before. The house was well filled. The pastor of the church gave a second lecture Sabbath evening on the "John Chinaman" and was listened to by an overflowing house. 411 s subject for lecture next Sabbath eveniug is "Life Among the Mormons." A golden wedding was witnessed in our quiet little village last Friday evening, the bridegroom and bride be­ ing no other than Mr. and Mrs. Andrew COOK. The wedding was attended by a large circle of relatives and numer­ ous friends, some of whom lutd attend­ ed the first wedding fifty years ago.-- The guests comprised those among the first society of W auconda, and of course "all went merry as a marriage bell,"-- Following may be found the names of the guests.
