Chicago, which contained 100.000 pounds of powder and 30.000 pounds or dynamite, exploded. It wag located on Archer near Johnson avenue.

The very definition of Anarchy taken from the mouths of Anarchist? themselves , shows what temporary madness must have seized the wits of those who da'ly with the thought of tolerating men who hold such doc­ trines. §9*Somebody has i ovented a post hole and an exchange announces that » patent has been applied for and that a sample hold Is on exhibition. This Is probably the'sort of excavation that windfall politicians and played out contractors retire into and then haul It- after them. The Inventor had better take out his patent^ometime when Mr. Biyird Is absent from Washington, else the secretary of state may seix- the model for his own use. ard In sucl< a case it Is Impossible to tell whethei the Canadian or the Mexican method of settling the dispute would be adop­ ted. ••"The recent Chicago convention of the Irish National League has im parted > wonderful Impetus to the cause of Irish home rule. It demon­ strated in a marked manner that the Irish crusade agaiust British mlsgov- ernment is actuated not by race prejudice and tradltlooal hatred, but by sooer reason and judgment. The proceediigt of the convention, while animated and free, were controlled by a discretion and prudence which indi­ cate in a new and striking degree the fitness of the Irish leaders for sell government. The account of the gath­ ering will be read lu British aristo­ cratic circles with bitter disappoint* ment. The Senatorial Convention. The Convention for this Senatorial District, which was held at Woodstock on Monday last, put In nomination for Representatives the Hon. Charles E Fuller, of Boone, and Capt. C. A* Partridge, of Lake. That the nomi­ nations are good ones no one who If not a.crank by nature will for a mo­ ment question. We were unible to attend the Convention, and have not as yet seen the proceedings, but from what we can hear we are Inclined to the-opinion that the McSenry county delegation shewed an inconsistency In their action that will not bear the light of investigation. This rule or ruin policy whloh Is practiced by a few of our would be politicians to the detriment of the entire party, bar several times before made McHenry County the but of ridicule, and it is about time they were shown up In their true light. We shall have more to say in relation to this matter In the future. JWWe learn that a "dark lantern" Caucus, in the loterest of Elijah, the Halnetite. was held In this village one night last week, at which there were present delegates from Woodstock. Nunda, Richmond, and other points where the famous E ijah Is known to be a faithful theller-out. Why this gathering was held with closed doors, which could only be reached through a back alley. Is one or the mysteries.-- One of the faithful got so bewildered In the dark and narrow way that he failed to find the entrance, and ex­ plained bis absence in the morning by saying that he bad been eating green cucumbers and was wrestling with the colic. That's the way H&loeslsm effects some of them. It turns their stomach We would like to publish the proceed­ ings of this meeting in full, the mln "tee of which we have before us, but spaee will not ^permit. Suffice to say, Elijah is on the war Jpath and Is con' •tantly repeating to himself those beautiful lines, suggested to blm not long since,-- ••The Butterfly has wings of Child, % The Firefly wings of Flame, The Bedbug has no wings at all, Bat he gets there all the game!" The Great Fair at Ckloti*, There are but few of the regular fair goers of the Northwest that have not decided to attend the great fair of the season, to be held at Chicago on Sept, 6 to 10.1886. The application received for stalls and pens for stock and for space in the exhibition hall for other displays insure an exhibition at the coming Illinois State Fair that has never been surpMsed In extent or quality. The unusually large and fine displays to be at the coming Stale Fair will attract many thousand visitors who have not heretofore enjoyed the op­ portunity of examining the Interest­ ing exhibits at the leading agricultur­ al and industrial exhibition. The %ttra<tive exhibits displayed each year at the Illinois State Fair of live stock, farm products, agricultural im­ plement*. mechanical devices, fine arts, "itlinary store*, eta, will pleasantly surprise and interest all classes who desire information concerning the wonderful productive resources of the fertile region tributary to Chicago. The attastlon already provided for the coming fair to hft held at Chicago, far surpass any previous exhibition of the Illinois State Fair. The American '^lydesdalc Association, the American Percheron Association and the Ameri­ can Shire Horse Association, have trranged to hold their extensive tnnual shows this season In connection A'lth the Illinois State Fair, and In iddlrion to the large premium* adver- rlsed by the Board of Agriculture for rhe breeds named, these associations provide nearly 910,000 as extra Induce­ ments to Insure at the coming fair, the largest and best display of heavy horses ever seen together. The commission men at the Union ^tock Yards at Chicago, with a view of encouraging home and foreign breeders of cattle to make bn urpar­ alleled exhibition of cattle, have tendered the board a grand'herd prize of 91.000 for herds of cattle awarded premiums at the coming State Fair. This handsome prize, in addition to the large premiums offered for cattle by the Board of Agriculture, has at­ tracted the attention of the most successful breeders and exhibitors of cattle throughout the country, and there can be no reason to doubt the presence at the fair at Chicago, of the finest herds of cattle to be found on this continent. Canada Thistles Convention. Proceedings of the Convention of the Commissioners of Canada Thistles Held, at Woodstock Aug. 26th, 1886. Tne Convention was called to order by President Bourne. The object of the faceting was then stated to be consultation in regard to the best method of operating with Canada Thistles, and gUvipg the expe­ rience of each as to their Individual success. " " After fully discussing the different methods, the Convention adopted tiie following general rule, to-wit: A eep the Thistles under ground. If the ground can be plowed plow it is often as the Thistles show them selves, and the first of July sow to Buckwheat or Hungarian. • If you can't get to them with a plow then cut, them close to the ground every week. It will surely kii them if strictly and persistently followed. The Commissioner from McHenrj reported t'iat he was visiting even farm and marking the location o "very patch found, with the intention or making a plot and placing it oo fll« for ruture reference. This plan was at once approyed ant' recommended to all commissioners. It wan reported to the Convention rhat the towns of Riley and HartlanH *re allowing many patches to go un­ cut, and the town of Burton as bavin? no Commissioner and lots of thistles And this Convention would recom­ mend to tne Board of Supervisors tlia «hey see to the appointment of a Com missioner for that town. The Convention also recommend* that the Commissioners of t'ie differ­ ent towns enter complaint of any vio­ lation of the statute concerning Cana- la Thistles by parties near their towi. line which have been or may be neg lected or overlooked by their owi< Commissioner. The Convention also Instructed tbeii Clerk to confer with the Clerk of the County Court of Lake County, request ing him to call the attention of the Board of Supervisors of Lake Count? to the fact that large quantities of Canada Thistles are growing near our county line, and oo the shores of Fox Lake, which are not attended to, and request them to take some action to­ wards their extermination. The following resolution was adopt­ ed: •fcesolved, That we feel much encour aged by the action taken by the differ­ ent Commissioners during the past summer, and we would recommend that each and every Commissioner push the work with more vigor the coming year.

Prepared Expressly for the Punn>liLBl by Oar Own Correspondent. CHICAGO, Aug. 30, 1886 Receipts of grain at this point are quite heavy, and advices from other •narkets, both home and abroad, quote rade ruber dull and values lower. Wheat Is active at a further decline in prices; export demands have not •een so large recently as a few weeks tgo. It looks now as though the near uture of the wheat market would be governed largely by the receipt* and •xports. or the law of supply and de- nand. Corn meets with ouly moderate (emend; heavy receipts and the de­ li ae in wheat cause a weaker feeling. ')ats and small grain sell sparingly. The cattle market again rules weak ind lower, the common and Inferior ots sell 10c lower, first-class fat cattle remain about steady, but the general rone or the market Is weaker owing to xceeding email reoelpts.

We take this opportunity to explain to our patrons why so many were disappointed in not being able to obtain their usual supplies from us on Monday last.
