The old soldiers especially are de­ termined to make the occasion a memor­ able one. All of the army societies will be represented, and every indication points to the presence of one of the great­ est throngs of people ever seen in Chi­ cago. Tascott Again. The Chicago papers of Monday con­ tained the following sensational story, in relation to "the champion hider," Willie Tascott, the supposed murderer of A. J. Snell. What truth there may be in it we leave our readers to judge for themselves: That Willie Tascott is alive, or was six months ago, and that the family had en­ tered into negotiations with the authori­ ties for his surrender to answer to the charge of the murder of Amos J. Snell, has just been made public and adds another interesting chapter to one of the most interesting murder cases in the an­ nals of Chicago crime. These negotia­ tions were in the nature of hints from the family to Inspector Marsh, who Was at the time Chief of Police. They were to the effect that Willie Tascott was alive and well, thwt they were in constant com­ munication with him, and that it was his and their desire that he be surrendered to the authorities to stand trial for the murder of Snell, providing the robbery charge be dismissed. They were confi­ dent, so they said, that Willie could not be convicted of murder, providing the $50,000 reward offered by the Snell fam­ ily could be secured for his defense. They Were anxious to have Inspector Marsh's opinion on whether he could be convicted or not and have him use his influence to have the indictments for burglary dis­ missed and let the murder indictment stand. Inspector Marsh hinted in return that so far as his influence would have weight it should be as Frank Tascott and his father wished and that he was willing to enter into negotiations of al­ most any character to clear up the mur­ der mystery. Before negotiations ad­ vanced very far, however, the suspicions of the family were aroused and the mat­ ter was dropped. (9"A prominent Cincinnati Republican is in receipt of a letter from Secretary Blaine, in which he says, if his health per­ mits he will come to Cincinnati to take part in the campaign. This is good news for the Republican party. There is no doubt of the fact that Ohio will go Re­ publican, that Mr. McKinley will be elect­ ed, but with Mr. Blaine in the canvas it will go Republican by such a majority that the Democratic hopes in '92 will wane to' a very low ebb. tST Despite the ominous predictions and direful wailing of chronic "croakers," the recent frosts did but little damage to the maturing crops throughout what is known as the great corn belt of the coun- tiy. North of it there was undoubtedly some injury done, yet the reports from all sections point to the largest yield of corn known for ten years. The statistics show that the number of hogs has large­ ly increased this year, and the large crop of corn will be largely utilized by them. WT There is a strong indication all Over Europe that that country will soon be involved in a most gigantic war. The French preparations are advancing so that in ten days France will place an army upon the borders of Germany. The war feeling in Germany is very high^ The Russian armies are concentratini upon the borders of that country.

Rome, the Eternal City, which in these aggressive times is rapidly outgrowing the pictures*] ueness that formerly en­ deared it to travelers, is sympathetically described and admirably illustrated, in its modern aspects, in an article entitled "Roma--Amor," by Henry Tyrrell, open­ ing the October number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.

We trust that they are mistaken. Aside from the Buffering and horrors which attend such a commotion, a war in Europe just now would be a great damage to us as a busi­ ness people. That continent is now short of grain, and must buy of us freely to feed its people. Its capitalists are in vesting millions of their money in our securities, which money goes into our public improvements and carries on our great business enterprises. Let a general war break out and all the fuuds would be seeded to carry it on, and our securities would come home by the ship-load. No, we are not in want of a foreign war just *now. All of the benefits which we ever could have received from it have come to us from the short crops over there and the great crops of all kinds of cereals here. Let Russia and France bide their time, and let Germany, Austria and England be patient; They all have a lot of cash which we want to use and which we will get if they only behave. ^jltralg'ht Talk from a Kansas Farmer. A Kansas farmer, where.the times are as hard as they are anywhere in the United States, writes as follows to the local paper at Garnet. The local allu aions will, of course, be understood as the popular stores of the town: "What's the matter with the times anyway? A termer loads up fifty bushels of wheat an a wagon and starts to Garnet, his son follows with a load of corn, while the hired man follows with a load of hay. He gets from 90 cents to f 1 for his wheat. 60 cents for his corn and f 10 for hay. He takes the checks he gets for his grain and hay to the bank and asks for and gets gold coin. He puts it down in his jeans, goes down to George and Joe's and buys twenty pounds of granulated sugar for $1.. He buys muslin for five cents a yard, balico the same. He goes tto the hardware store and buys barb *'re for three and three and one-half cents per pound, and other things in pro­ portion, including tin cups. He goes to WagstaH's and buys a suit of clothes, all wool, for $10, good enough for a presi­ dent of a township alliance to wear. There has never been a time from the foundation of the government to the present, when a bushel of wheat or corn would buy as much as it does l!b-day, and yet some people will get up at night and bum their shirt to make a light to pee to damn the way things are all going to rot."

The eldest justentered her twentieth year, ends tendered her a delightful , and she was the recipient of unique and costly gifts. Her fiance arrived upon the brilliant scene driving a pair of perfectly matched cream colored ponies, handling cream reins with gold buckles, and attached to a cream colored dog cart with gold trim­ mings elaborately mounted. These he presented to the lady of his choice; and at an early hour the following day the chief designer of New York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar received a message from the ladies to produce with­ in the next five days four pale cream In­ dia silk dresses of the same tint as that of the gold-tipped dog-cart. The propri­ etor of the New York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazarwitl spare no pains to make these natty driving costumes the most showy and gorgeouB of the season. The design which struck their fancy was that shown in Fig. 5 of the September number of the New York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar. But where that dress is designed in pink, their dresses are to be finished in pale ecru. The frill on the sleeves of Fig. 5 will be jauntily looped up with real pearls set in gold buckles.
