active gentlemen or ladies to WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8 1897. POTATOES! W.L. DOUGLAS e most stylish and desirable oiTihe market just received J, VAN SLYKE, Editor. -- ttST'R.v a proclamation from the Presi­ dent, Thursday, November 25, 1897 in set a Fide ae a day of Thanksgiving; <v\ may ho more properly J«rmed a day < f feasting by the American populace. Iritis estimated that the Luetgcrt. murder trial, which resulted in a disa­ greement of the jury, cost the county of Cook $11,396 and the city of Chicago $4,000, a total of $15,396. IggrThe market on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday was barely steady. Two hundred and forty-eight tubs w re offered and but 152 tubs sold at "23c. same price as last week. The offerings were in. excess of the buyers. " VST A letter from Colfa x, Washington, says that one farmer in that vicinity threshed fifty-nine acres of pats which yielded sixty-eight bushels to the acre, another threshed seventy-six acros of wheat that yielded fifty bushels to the acre, ard that, many more farmers there are having about the same kind of yields 1ST From estimates and guesses of $80,000,000 to $75,o00,000 as Pull­ man's wealth, it dwindled in the light of his will to $7,600,000--quite comforta­ ble, to be sure. Me left $1,200,000 for the endowment and maintenance of a free manual training school for children, and $130,000 to public institutions. K)^"The Greenville Advocate utters our sentiments when it says: "The people of Illinois, irrespective of politics, will agree with the sentiment embraced in the following terse but truthful statement recently uttered by Governor Tanner, that, "the people of Chicago must be taught that Chicago is in Illinois and not Illinois in Chicago." We are proud of Chicago, but we ire a blamed sight prouder of Illinois." THE ELECTION TUESDAY. We-have only time before going to press td announce the results of the Election held on Tuesday. As the Inter- Ocean says, the most prominent features of the returns is the victory won by. Tammany in Greater-New^Yorfe--The- Tiger swallowed everything. The Re­ publicans, however, secure the Legisla­ ture in that Stats and will have a ma­ jority in both Houses. •jThe Republicans in Ohio and Iowa, where there was a straight issue between the parties, seem to have done very well for an off year. There was a-compara­ tively light vote in both states, and as was expected, majorities are considerably reduced. In Ohio the Democrats made a venomous fight against the state and legislative tickets, but the returns at this hour show that Bushnell has been re-elected Governor by a plurality of 20,000, and the Legislature is safely Re­ publican, thus insuring the return of Mr. Hanna to the Senate." The returns from Iowa indicate a Re- publiban victory, electing Shaw Gov­ ernor by about 12,000 and a Republican Legislature. tsrit is announced at Washington that William Penn Nixon, editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean, will be appointed collector of customs at Chicago without waitingfor theexpiration of the term of the present Democratic incumbent, and that his appointment probably will be made this week. This action was urged by Senators Cullom and Mason, and President McKinley has decided to fol­ low their suggestion. ttaP" A "General" Cueson (ought there not to be a hyphen before the lastJ two letters of his name?) who commands the Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans Virginia, violently denounced Barnes' History of the United States as "a pack of Yankee lies" lately, and called on the State Board of Education to aliminate it from the schools of Virginia. The Cussons do not represent the better element of the South but are professional heroes trading on sentiment. He Is B. Good Figrhter. It is evident that the managers of the Chicago newspaper trust were utterly mistaken in their estimate of Governor Tanner when* they imagined that they could compel him. to submit to their dictation through intimidation. Neither their threats nor their nientacious at­ tacks upon his character and reputation have had any effect except to strengthen him in his determination to maintain his official independenae and to be the gov­ ernor of the people of Illinois, instead of thei^ere factotum of the little coterie nwoeing the newspaper trust. And it is also becoming evident that in venting their rage and malice upon .iovernor Tanner through the outrageous methods to which they have resorted they have "waked up the wrong passenger." Any resident of Southern Illinois could have told these editors that John Tanner is a good fighter, and that when he is at­ tacked he invariably makes it interesting for his opponents. The newspaper trust already has been given a good sample of bis rare courage, and, before he gets through, it will discover that he is the best and hardest fighter it ever has stirred up.--State Journal. w ANTED-TRUSTWORTHY AND travel for responsible, established house in Illinois.

The cod- needed IST'Dr. Newton Bateman, one of the founders of the State Normal School and the Illinois State Teachers' Association, and widely known as an educator, died of agina pectoris at Galesburg last week, aged 75 years. He was elected Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction of Illinois in 1858 and served until 1874. He then became President of Knox College. Galesburg, which position he held until 1892, since which time he has been pro­ fessor of mental and moral philosophy in the same institution. A central Illinois exchange says: "Governor Tanner's method of looking after rumors of ill management of state institutions differs materially from that practiced by Governor Altgeld. When rumors a few days ago reached f^bvernor Tanner of corruption in the management of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home up at Bloomington he lost no time in getting the board of trustees together and ac­ companying them to Bloomington, where he personally attended and par­ ticipated in an investigation into the affairs of the institution." tS^Tbe Woodstock Democrat of Sat­ urday last has the following to say ol .Fudge Fuller, of Belvidere: "Judge Chas. E. Fuller, of Belvidere, adjourned his bench of our Circuit Court on Tues­ day after nearly three weeks of hard work on the chancery, common law and criminal docket. Many caseB have been disposed of while Judge Fuller has been holding our court, and as aJudge he has become exceedingly popular with our people and the attorneys as well. Judge Fuller is exceedingly courteous to ail, and by his lair and impartial rulings and decisions, and the promptness with which they are rendered, has shown con­ clusively to our people that he is the right man in the right place, and that he would be an honor to the bench of the Supreme Court of our state " University of Illinois-School of Law. The law department recently added "to the University of Illinois, has proved suc­ cessful in the highest degree and filled a long felt want. There • have been forty registrations to date and more are con­ fidently expected. Judge Wilkin, of the' Supreme Court, delivered the opening address Sept 24th. Arrangements have been made for lectures and addresses by some of the most prominent judges and attorneys at the Illinois bar. Judge C. G. Neeley, of Cook county addressed the students on Friday, Oct. 15, on the preparation and trial of cases. Judge Harker, of the Appellate Court, will fol­ low with a course on organizations and functions of the common law courts. JudgeFrancis Wright will deliver three lectures on the law and practice in negli gence cases,'some time during the winter tjrm. Judge Staley,, of Champaign, will talk on probate procedure and practice Other speakers whose names can not yet be announced, will cover other .impor­ tant subjects. Depew on a Great RaiJroad. "Talking about great railroads," said Chauncey Depew, "the Chicago & North­ western with its 8,000 miles of track it- about the liveliest railroad on this conti­ nent." "The Northwestern trains run to St. Paul, and, in fact, over the Union Pacific to California. It is the only road thai ride fifty iniles an hour on from Chicago to Ogd m and Portland, Oregor. without changing cars." "Where else does the "Northwest' run to?" I asked. "Why everywhere. It is an all-nver- creation railroad. It spreads out like a great fan from Chicago. It runs straight through to Milwaukee, Madison, St Paul Duluth, Superior, Ashland and the cop­ per and iron amines of North Michigan It runs straight through Wisconsin, Min­ nesota and South Dakota to Pierre on the Missouri, and Oakesonthe North­ ern Pacific. It shoots a train straigh' through Cedar Rapid3, Iowa, Omaha, Nebraska, to the Black Hills, in South Dakota, and to the Adphalt lakes be­ yond Fort Casper, in Montana. It drawB the tin from Harney's Peak, and corn from Lincoln, Hastings and Super­ ior, Nebraska." "And makes time on all these roadb?" "Its engines are the best in the ^orld, and its cars the newest. Makes time? Why, Eli, they tell me that when their great overland twelve-car train shoot" into Omaha you see the Union Pacific officials standing at the end of the bridge, watches in hand, waiting to set them by the train!"
