COMPLAINT has been made to the Board of Trustees,In relation to cattle running at large in the streets of this village, and that all may know what the Ordinance is In relation thereto we publish it below: SECTION 1, No horses, swine, sheep goats or cattlo of any kind s tall be permitted to run at large within the corporate limits of the village under a a penalty of three dollars (93,00) for each animal so perinitte 1 to run at large, together with the costs or im­ pounding and the expenses of suste­ nance for each animal when inpouiuled as hereinafter provided, to be paid by the owner or person having charge, care or keeping thereof severally and respectively. It has been determined by many of our citizens to see that this ordinance Is e n fo.ee d, and persons who are now daily violating the law In this respect will do well to take due notice. A PRINTER stood at the d-sk of a business man,*the other day. and no­ ticed hlin using letter and bill heads which he had bought at a city house Said the printer, who was a customer: "What would yon think of ine if I should go to Chicago and buy yorr line of goods for myself aud family?*' The merchant replied: "I would think you a fool, when I know you can get the same goods just as cheap of me and also aid a fellow citizen." When the printer called bis attention to the im­ ported letter and billheads, the mer­ chant coughed and walked up behiud tfee counter, to wait ou a customer, and the same merchant, just the day before 4Sked the printer to give him a free pull About his big stock of new goods! When bills from the paper mills and type foundry come In and the wages of employes become due,the printer thought of these tilings. A MILLIONAIRE, who has made every dollar of his fortune by advertising, oilers on retiring from business tills bit of advice gratis to those he leaves struggling behind, while he starts ^r Europe to enjoy life: *'T'ie fault of the ordinary advertiser is this, he gees in for a spurt, and white the fit Is on him he will pay money to any journal he may fall across. By and by the bills c imo in; the advertiser finds that he has spent three times as many dollars as he meant to, and as there are no re­ plies to lils advertising, he thinks the specialty he has been trying to intro­ duce has fallen fiat on the public taste, or business has become dull, and he fancies buyers are few and little likely to pay attention to his announcement. He stop* short accordingly, and loses all the benefit of lis previous expendi­ ture. The success reaped by those whose advertisements appear every year sltf&ld teacli men of business first to bejplfu] In tbe selection of the medium they choose, and next, when satisfied on this point, to persevere, disregarding apparent failures, and never letrenching expenditure when business is dull, as that is the time when advertising is most necessary."

We understand there will be an excellent programme to be carried out, and those in charge intend that nothing shall be spared to mike a success of paying proper tri t>ute to tlie memory of those who gave their lives for the benefit of others and went at their country's call. i.ut Filday evening tho^illd and startling Intelligence was flashsd over the wires to this city from Denver, Dakota, that Matt J. Cenklin had that afternoon been-struck by lightning aud instantly killed. Mr. L. S. Page, father of Mrs. Conklin, started on the first train going in that direction and met his daughter at Traoey, about 80 miles this side of Denver, who was bringing the remain* of her deceased husband toward the home of his childhood and early manhood. They reached this city Inst Sabbath afternoon on the Da« kota passenger, and the reoiaihs went immediately conveyed to the resilience of Mr. Page, the Odd Fellows, or which th» deceased-w#e an honored member, taking chargo of the satne. There was an Immense, gathering at the depot when the train halted. It seemed as If a large majority of our citizens were present, aid the scene was Indeed a sad one. Toe young wife of a kind and loving husband returning after two years of pleasant wedded life in anew country, with the remains of him who but so sh«>rt a time before had been alive, well, and oh, so happy and contented. Short services were held at the house, the Kevs. Parmely aud Hap­ pen conducting the solemn services, after which the remains were taken to Hartland, near the home ot the father of the deceased, for interment. Matt was the eldest sou of W. G. Conklin of Hartland township, where he was born in 1854. He was a young man of excel­ lent character, was full of push and euergy, one wh4 had the apparent promise of a long and pleasant life be­ fore him. Of friends he possessed a host, and he was a steadfast friend to any fellow van that deserved to have one. A manly, straightforward and noble young man, whose christian character consisted of daring to do right and be true, and was an honor to the Bapt Unchurch of which he was a member. A kind, dutiful son and brother, a fond and devoted husband to tbe young wife left to mourn his sudden taking away. The fatal occurrence as near as we can leara was as follows: Matt lived in the village of Denver and owned and worked a farm about a mile dis­ tant from his residence. He went to his work as usual last Friday morning, and from her wiudow the wife had seen him only a short time before the thun­ der storm came up, at about 2 o'clock p. m. It lasted but a few moments, after which Mrs, C.|aga!n looked over the fields In search of h*r husband, but failed to see him. A man riding by the farm saw the horses lying one upon the other uear the seeder, and going up to them found the remaius of Mr. Conklin just back of them. The one vivid fiasli of lightuing accompanied by the heavy peal of thunder seen and beard by the people In the village had done Its work. The lightning had struck Mr. C. on the temple and passed down his breast and spine, tearing his clothing from him--tbe soles of his boots being found at great distance and his watc i, with its works burned out, nearly fifty feet ahead of him. No marks were found upon either horse, harness or seeder. The sad news reached Mrs. C. about 4 p. m. She bad feared that something dreadful had happened, as she could not see a sign of either ber husband or the team, and had been anxiously watching for them from the time that the loud clap of thunder ha J been heard.

BT ORDER OP COMMITTEE. Programme in detail given text week. , S. F. BENNETT, Post Commander, Last week gives us to record the deaths of two of our oldest citizens, •'Uncle" James Bacon and Harvey Booth, The former was burled in the Richmodd cemetery, with Masonic honors, the latter at Volo, In Lake Co., where the burying ground of-bls fam­ ily is located. Mr. Bacon had lived In Richmond a long tmle. He was a man of sterling integrity, of string In. dlviduality. unbounded generosity and passionate loyalty to the old flag. At the breaking: out of the war he was the proper!tor of the Richmond flour­ ing mills and was accounted well off. During the struggle he poured his money out like water for the cause, sending necessaries and del*cades to our wounded and si-jk soldiers by the car load. It is said the bulk of his property went in this way, so he was left in bUold age a poor man. He erected the beautiful soldiers monu­ ment in our Cemetery at an expense of several hundred dollar?--about seven hundred, if we are correctly informed. He was always active in promoting the observance of the National Hell- day, the 4th of July, and Memorial day. The name, "old soldier" or Mthe flag" always seemed to thrill his soul, and alarge flag lie owned the largest in the vicinity, was always the first to be unrolled on such occasions is Memorial Dav, etc. It was his request that his coffin be draped with this flag when carried to the grave, a request that was compiled with. It is said, too, that he wished the flag buried with him> aud it would have been an appropriate tribute to the memory of one whose heart ever beat with the Impulse of love for it, to have done so. Mr. Ba­ con's public spit It was noted and what he did for tbe public Interests was limited only by his means. Tbe writer ISitii re y«ip Bacon a pension on nattWWt of CI vices and death of a son In tbe At that time he had already lost eyesight, and he needed every that he had received on tbe pension, for the support of himself and family ; and yet lie lush ted that| the Village Board should accept % gift of five dol* lars with which to buy and pot up hitching ^tosts about the streets. To show their appreciation of the gift, the Board had one post nicely fluisbed, painted In the National colors and set in front of his residence. It is a curl ous sort of a public monument to leave bebend one. but it was characteristic of tbe man--and every visitor to Blch- niond who finds a good stout oaken post to hitch his team too. Invokes a silent blessing on the heal of "Uncle Ji ramie Bacon.'* His character was singularly free from tralta to pro- rvoke* enmity, and it may! truth­ fully said that few men die and leave fewer enemies than he did. Every old soldier loved and respected him for his unwavering devotion and loyalty, and next Memorial Day his grave will decorated with those ol other patriot dead who sleep In our cemetery, with the brightest and sweetest^ flowers. The Masonic fraternity had charge of Mr. Bacon's funeral, Messrs. Kendall, Thomas Avery and Sherwood, of Woodstock, and Morris Moth, of Win- netka, were present to assist In the ceremonies. At request of deceased, the Cornet Band led tbe procession to the cemetery, playing a dead march, going and a quickstep returning. Con­ sidering the short notice of the funeral the attendance was very large. A short servloe waa bald at the house conducted by Bev. Chas Fraser, when the remains were taken to the grave where they were consigned to the earth by the ancient ceromonies of the Masonic Fraternity. The "grand hon­ ors' of the Graft were given, the re­ sponse "We cherish his memory here," "We commend his spirit to God who gave it," And commit his body to the earth," fell reverently upon the air, the choir sang the solemn numbers of Pleyel's Hymn, and the mortal body of Ja;nes Bacon were left beneath the sod, where the coming summer will plant flowers and the gr?en grasses to dccorate hi* last resting place. T*>e funeral services of Mr. Booth were conducted at his late residence, by Bev. Charles Fraser and were at­ tended by friends and neighbors In goodly numbers. The body was then taken to the family cemetery at Void, Lake county, attended by the Im­ mediate relatives, where It was laid to rest. -• Both of the bereaved families have the heartfelt sympathy of the com- rannity in thelr sorrow and are com­ mended to the bare of that Heavenly Fither who is never unmindful of our griefs, and who 'doeth all doings well.'
