fbuifaleF. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1890. j. VANSLTKE, Editor. fHIS PAPER May found on Hie at GKO. P. KOWBLL A 00.*8 Newspaper Advertising Kuroftn (M Spruce Stre«t), where advertising SRIRIV S NEW YORK- Ifcg-Total sales of bntter on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday amounted to fit,803, 4,800 pounds selling a* 2$ cents and 1,440 pounds at 27 cents, f | |®" Fifty-five houses at Clinton Ky., were wrecked Sunday night by a tornado. Five persons were killed and fifty-three injured. Wickliffe, Ky., was also badly damaged by a storm. (QTA hurricane at Rochester, N. Y., Monday, partly wrecked many buildings* including St. John's Church, the Genesse Brewery malthouse, Curtis Brothers' canning factory, and the Jocelyn Block. One man was billed, another fatally hurt, and several persons had narrow escapes. IfiTOf interest to corner loafers, an­ archists and others: Daniel Webester said ; ^ " In a country like ours, above all others* this truth will hold good: If the people can obtain fair compensation for their labor they will havegood houses, good clothing, good food, and the means of educating their families. Labor will be cheerful and the people happy. The great interest of this country is labor." ier While we have been revelingin mud and April temperature, the Central Pa­ cific Railroad over the Sierra Nevadas him been fighting snow blockades and av­ alanches. The whole Pacific slope has been receiving an unusual amount of rain. In the mountains it took the form of snow and filled the ravines and can­ yons. If these things had been a little more evenly distributed, trains would have run more regularly in the moun­ tains, and our coal and clothing dealers would have had more trade. (^Speaking of influenza a physician says; "It comes suddenly; goes as quick­ ly. The least robust, at any age, and women seem to be the first victims. It is here a question of bodily strength, sot of sex. The large numbers simultaneous­ ly attacked attracts general attention, and thus the most impressionable are seized, the onset, being facilitated by any depressing notion like fear or illness. There is no rigor, properly to be thus de­ signated, but rather a series of light chills and a feeling of heat therewith." mpt- (®-The investigation at Wheaton con­ cerning the treatment of insane paupers at the DuPage county poor-house has closed and the result is not flattering to the county. The officials express their conviction that the case was "a disgrace to the county, to the State and to the rjlization of the nineteenth century," td adds that "the legislature ought itffer to provide for more efficient over- it and control of the insane on county me. or else forbid their reception and retention in county almshouses." tSf The year 1890 starts in with the influenza. What is to follow? If the coming year is to compete with the one just passed, it must give us something new soon. Eighteen hundred and eighty- nine left a remarkable record. Among its casualties and sensations, many thingajvill pass down into history: the death of Jeff DAvis, Dom Pedro and his troubles, the Cronin trial, Parnell and his legal examination, Boulanger'serratic gyrations, the Johnstown flood, the ter­ rible fires in Boston, Lynn and elsewhere, the fight against the electric wires in New York, death by electricity, high winds, great rainfalls. Oh, it is a splendid record! IV Those persons who gather up the census statistics next June are to be paid for doing the work as follows: For every living person, two cents; for every death, two cents; for every firm, fifteen cents; for every factory, twenty cents; for every veteran or veteran's widow, five cents; in special cases an enumerator may be paid by the day, not to exceed $6. The cost of taking the census in 1880 was over $3,000,000, and the next one is estimated to co9t over $4,000,000, the population being estimated at fifteen millions larger than in 1880. The work of enumerating has to be done during the month of June next. lSF*0ne of our exchanges makes the following sensible remarks: "The news­ papers are giving us too frequent ac­ counts ofjjjgiurders committed in the name of wnat is falsely called Christian Science. A child is ill, requiring medical attention, and some Christian Science mountebank offers to cure it and it dies. Properly the case is brought before the grand jury. It is just as foolish, just as silly and just as wicked as if a hungry child, crying for food, was committed to one of these frauds and permitted to starve to death. It is time all these people were put in a lunatic asylum who can suppose their diseased livers will be all right if they only think them so and their broken legs are all right if they only think they are not broken. It is the last extremity of nonsense and our chief objection to it is that thqy call it Christian." tSF "Should clergymen smofte?" In recent interviews carried on by one of the dailies, opinions of the clergy have been obtained. The general run of the answers is that clergymen think they have as good a right to smoke as other citizens. A condition the clergyman should observe is his financial ability to purchase good cigars. A clergyman should not smoke a^bad cigar un­ der any provocation. He owes it to his cloth to smoke the bestr or none at all. The list of names of clergymen who think there is no harm in a fragrant Havana includes the most fashionable clergymen in the city. Less fashionable clergymen hold that the practice should be made the subject of Ecclesiastical prohibition. The Methodist denominationjmake strict inquiry of candidates for the'ministry as to their habits concerning the use of to­ bacco. A majority of the clergymen in­ terviewed are on the side of tobacco, but probably a majority not interviewed would be on the other side. He Sued Some time ago when Judge H. G. Hicks was not so prosperous as he has been in late years, so I am told, he owed a little bill of $25 to a well known firm, and one of the members came to see him about it. The judge, then a plain colonel lately re­ turned from the war, frankly confessed that he was "busted, "aud asked for an extension of time? "Can't do it," said the gentleman. "If you don't pay it we we'll have to sue you." "How can I pay when I haven't got the money ?" asked the colonel. "Well we'll have to brin£ suit," said the gentleman as he started Off. "Hold on/' eaid-the colonel, as a bright idea struck him. "If you must sue me why not give me the case? You'll have to employ some lawyer." "That's so," said the gentleman. All right, bring the suit," Colonel Hicks brought the suit, confessed judgment, sent in his bill for $50 attorney's fees, collected it and then settled the judgment. . From that time on he has had the firm's business.-- Minneapolis Tribune. THE third lecture of the McHenry Lec­ ture course will be Saturday evening, Jan. 18th, by Prof. Schindler, of White­ water, Wis. Subject, "Everybody's Book." 'James B. Perry, of McHenry, was a caller in town last Tuesday.' As is well known to our readers, Mr. Perry is in the field as a candidate for County Treasurer, a position he is well qualified to fill with credit to himself and to the county. A resident of our county for a quarter of a century; a steadfast Republican; an able busines man; an ex-soldier; all these points arc certainly in his favor, and when the people look about thein for a suitable person to handle the county's finances we trust they will give Mr. Per­ ry's claims careful consideration before coming to a decision. The Gazette will have more to say on this question when f *4fee campaign opens--Richmond Gazette. Modern Woodmen. The first statement that has been given the public of the results of the re­ cent investigation by State Auditor Pavey of the accounts of Head Consul Root, of the Modern Woodmen of Amer­ ica, appears in a letter from Mr. Pavey to J. L. Haas, a prominent Woodman of Rock Island. Mr. Pavey says that the order was found to be in a flourishing condition, incregjubfe in membership with a present list o*8,684 members, but in the management of affairs at the head office there were found violations of the law, violations and abuses on the part of aome of the officials, but upon which official must be determined by evidence, awl that all the facte have been placed in tfee hands of the attorney general the State for prosecution. „ v FOR SALE. undei'h'giied offers for aale his house and 54 acres of land, situated on tke Woodstock road, five minutes walk from the McHenry Depot, just outside the corporation.
