WEDNESDAY. SEPT 1893. HUPP. By A. iSTButter on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday opened with an active demand. Butter sold uniformly at 25c., the same as one year ago. Bids opened at 23c. last week and 24%e was the price to-day. Sales, 18,720 lbs. 10°*A fortune which can be handled and examined by any one who visits the Fair, is a fact that perhaps not more than one in a thousand who go there ever sees. In the southeast room on the ground floor of the government building secured to the wall by only ordinary fastenings, hangs a set of frames con­ taining samples of the different issues (past and present) of paper money, forming one oi the most unique and rare collections of the kind outside of the minfat Washington. One frame alone contains f22,376 worth of greenbacks, and can be handled and examine by all who care to do HO, no extra precaution being taken to guard it from the public. Two f10,000 bill are among the treas­ ures. mi: r . itfc ' iST Quite a little friction has been caus­ ed in Military circles by the action of the new regiment L N. O.--the Hiberians organised under special orders of "Gov." Altgeld. When the militia took part in the exercises at the World's Fair, on Illinois Day, this regiment did not carry the United States flag, but instead an Irish banner. Unfavorable comment was made, and other regiments protested, but to no effect. The Hibernians were defiant, and boasted that they were backed by '"Gov." Altgeld, wh^ch is probably true, for the regiment is his pet. The obnoxious action is clearly in defiance of law, and should receive the condemnation of all patriotic citizens. The other regiments say they will not appear in any parade or service with the seventh until they carry the and 8tripee.--Wvukegan Gazette, v MP*The committeeship dev^f&ptBientB at Washington show that the member from this district in decidedly "in it," having been given a place on the ways and means committee along with such eminent gentlemen as ex-speaker Thos. B. Reed, of Maine, Bourke Cockran, of New York, Bryan, of Nebraska, Bynum, of Indiana, ex-Governor Gear, of Iowa, McMillan, of Tennessee, and other lead­ ing lights. Mr. Hopkins has long been regarded as a Republican on the floor of the House. He ie always "at himself," and is at this time more than ever a valuable man for the Republican minority, because he is ready in debate and fully equipped with Experience as well as with natural abili­ ties. He is no longer a "young member" having just begun to serve his fifth term. Of course he can hardly be considered a veteran in comparison with Charles O'Neill, the veteran Republican member from Philadelphia, or with Objector Holman, from Indiana, but he has been longer in Congress than four-fifths of the members of that body.--St. Charles Chronicle. Worn than an Outrage. William Newby, who enlisted in the Fortieth Illinois volunteers, Aug. 8,1861 and who, after severe and almost fatal wounds at Shiloh was imprisoned at Andersonville, and who after years of wandering as a demented and crippled tramp returned to his home, was, a few days ago, sentenced to a term of two years in the penitentiary because some one said he was not Wm. Newby. The story has been frequently told. On the trial 135 witnesses, thirty-seven of whom were old comrades in the Fortieth regi­ ment, twenty-two relatives and the re­ mainder old friends and neighbors who knew him before the war, swore that the man on trial was Wm, Newby. He wap also recognized by seven ex-prisoners at Andersonville who knew him as a prison­ er. In spite of this evidence the jury found the accused guilty of personating another man, and Judge Allen last week denied the application for a new trial, and sentenced the crippled old soldier to two years in the penitentiary. This is worse than an outrffge, and the members of the Grand Army of the Re­ public are making an effort to raise money to pay the expenses for an ap­ peal to the Supreme court. The rela­ tives of Mr. Newby are none of them well- to-do and they sacrificed nearly every­ thing to defend him in the recent trial. They have absolutely nothing to expend in farther proceedings, and if a fund ie not raised by some one to pay the nec­ essary expenses the unfortunate old sol­ dier goes to the penitentiary as a com mon criminal. The lawyers who have had charge of the case, among whom is General James McCartney, of Chicago, late Attorney General of Illinois, have given their ser­ vices without pay, but there are certain expenses that must be met. * The Grand Army veterans have become interested in the matter and have resolved that they will not permit a crippled old soldier who served a term at Andersonville, and who has both mind and body impaired in the government service, to be sent to prison for want of money. More than old soldiers should be interested in such a case. Every man who believes in com­ mon fairness and decency should con trib­ ute something to prevent the consuma- tion of this outrage. Those who desiri to contribute may send their money to Wm. Crome, Fairfield, 111., or to General Chas. W. Pavey, Mount Vernon, 111 Many Chicagoans have contributed, antf if a general interest is manifested thf case will be appealed and Wm. Newby will be released from the penitentiary and the state saved the disgrace of send ing a half-crazed old soldier to prison.-- Inter Ocean. The Country Press. The country press is under obligations to*the Inter Ocean for the able manner in which it has championed the cause of the country editors in the matter of the distribution of editorial courtesies by the World's Fair managers. The coun­ try press took hold of the great exposi­ tion enterprise in its inception and boomed it from start to finish. The Inter Ocean has always been a valiant friend of the country newspaper guild, and the country press generally knows its friends and generally sticks by them. The disposition of the Inter Ocean to treat all interests fairly and without prejudice is one of the chief causes for the commanding influence that is wielded by that paper. Other papers may sacrifice probity and fairness for the sake of enter­ prise and news-gathering brilliancy, but the Inter Ocean is both just and brilliant two qualities that, unfortunately, are not very often combined in modern journalism .--A urora Beacon. r-t," A Fraud--Ijook Out For Him. :4y Hie ttochelle Herald has the following to say of a traveling snide, who is travel­ ing around the country, and we give it to our readers that they may be pre­ pared for him Bhould he come their way: "Prof. (?) Bishop, who came here about ten days ago and advertised to open a business college, we have every reason to believe is a snide and that he had no idea of starting a college here Last Friday evening he was to have de­ livered a lecture at the opera house; not having more than a dozen people for an audience, he postponed the lecture until Snnday afternoon and at that time he was too drunk to deliver hiB lecture had bt had an audience. Sometime Sunday nig lit he skipped out to parts unknown leaving a few unpaid bills and taking about f 22 in cash he had collected from our merchants. He sent a draft for $500 through tbe bank here for collection on parties in New York city and the bank has been advised the parties to whom the draft was drawn on cannot be found and the draft was returned. What his object was in doing this we are unable to slate as no money was paid him on the draft. He tea man about 40 years of age, weighs about 150 pounds, light brown hair, smooth face and a good talker, although reserved in conversa­ tion. When he left here he Wore a light grey business suit. Should he visit any of the neighboring towns and wish to •tart a business college we advise the printer to get his pay for work done for him before doing the work. It is safer, and we know whereof we speak." ; II yon can afford to be annoyed "by sick e and constipation, don't use Dt Witt's Little Early Risers for these ttttb pills will cunt tiran. , . Why Grow Old. I find that if old people are put on a good meat diet in the way of strong soup, beef tea and animal food, and only just sufficient farinaceous food and fats and sugar to maintain the heat of the body, they increase wonderfully in en­ ergy and, as they often express it, feel 20 years younger. This is only natural; it is a food of energy--the food that builds up muscle, nerve and constitu­ tional stamina. The requirements of the system in old age as a rule are not great, and more harm is done by taking too much' food than by taking too little. I have known people considerably over 70 to derive the greatest benefit from a thorough change in diet. It seems to rejuvenate them. Of course in old age care should be taken that the body is not subjected to rapid changes of temperature. When the ner­ vous power is decreasing as the result of age and the system is losing its power of combating cold and strain upon its energy, a stimulating diet invigorates and is conducive to maintaining consti­ tutional stamina better than any other. Any natural death but from old age and general decay is an accidental death --that is, it is due to causes which might, and even perhaps could, have been en­ tirely avoided and remedied in. earlier years.--Gentleman's Magazine. Prospect! for Cera. The weather crop bulletin issued by the Illinois Weather Service for the week end­ ing August 28, says The temperature of the past seven days has been about the normal in the northern, and slightly above the normal in the central division, while in the southern division the tem­ perature was slightly below the average. The percentage has been about the nor­ mal throughout the State. There ha- been almost an entire absence of rain in the northern division, tbe rainfall rang- from .00 to a trace. In the central divi­ sion the rainfall was below an average, ranging from .00 to 0.75 inches. In the southern division the rainfall was about the normal, ranging from a trace to 2.20 inches and fairly distributed. Corn generally has been seriously dam­ aged by continual drouth, many fieldt- being permanently injured; and many oi our correspondents are of the opinion that it will make only half a crop. Tbe condition of this crop has been improved somewhat in the southern where the rain was heaviest. A few correspondents re­ port injury from grasshoppers, though not serious. Very little Fall plowing for Fall wheat has been done yet, owing the dry and bard condition of the ground, although a few report the ground as being suitablf- where sufficient rain has fallen. Thrash ing of wheat and oats is almost com­ pleted. Some farmers are holding their wheat for better prices The average of oats seems to be about thirty bushels per acre. Pastures are badly needing more rain, and farmers are still feeding stock in some localities. Many farmers report stock water scarce. The Pike, Ogle and Macoupin county cor­ respondents report grasshoppers are still injuring young clover. Potatoes will give a very light yield". The fruit crop will be very light in quan­ tity and poor in quality, except grapes, which are reported as being fair. Moat Young Men Are Afraid of Babies. "The average young man," said a traveler, "has no threat fondness for young children. I don't know how many times I have heard a mother who was carrying a little child, and who had halted in the aisle of a railroad car say, referring to the vacant seat and ad­ dressing the young man by the window, 'Is this seat taken?' And I don't know how many times I have seen the young man's face lengthen as he answered po­ litely, 'No.' The mother takes the seat and the young man begins to grow rest­ less. He reads the paper still, but he keeps his eye on the baby, and you may be sure the baby has its eye on him--a beaming, good natured eye it is, too--and the yonng man finds it not the easiest thing in the world to appear wholly un­ constrained with attention thus drawn to him, but he makes a bluff at it and does pretty well until the infant mois­ tens one chubby fist in Its mouth and reaches out to make a print of it on the lapel of the young man's coat. Then the young man rises. 'Madam,' he says, 'let me give you this seat,' and he steps out into the aisle. And he doesn't look for another seat in that car. He makes a bee line for the smoker."--New York Sun. The Food We Eat. Hardly a day passes that we do not re­ ceive some shock, that we are not asked to give up some favorite dish around which clusters a host of tender early memories, and after eating of which we have for 20 years on end felt ourselves grow fat and childlike and undyspeptic. Bat the modern hygiene says it must go, and if we retain it on our list we do it in an anxious and guilty mood sure of it­ self to beget internal trouble. Seemingly simple things like dry toast, oatmeal and apples we have heard for­ bidden of late as hard to take care of, and bananas, or, for example, the deli­ cious, but as we supposed deadly, fried bacon cried up as food for babes and sucklings. This is puzzling--it goes against personal experience, it upsetfe all our dietary plans and pleasures, and it awakens the shrewd suspicion that mere fashion is at the bottom of the change. •Hartford Courant.

In 1858 a party consisting of Lowell, Eznerson, Aga«siz, Judge Hoar, W. J. Stillman and Beveral others spent a few weeks of the summer in the Adiron (lacks. The journey of the company gave rise to an incident which' has often been in­ correctly told, and which, as a curious comment upon human fame, deserves to be told again. The coming of the party was of course made known along the track it would follow, and at Keese- ville, where the common roads then ended, the town was agog to see the "philosophers," as they were at once collectively called. But neither Emer­ son nor Lowell was known, Agassiz be­ ing the only celebrity to that world, ow­ ing to his having recently refused the offer by the emperor of France of the keepership of the Jardin des Plantes at Paris and a senatorship with a large sal­ ary, he preferring to devote himself to science and America. The selectmen of the town waited on the visitors early in the morning after their arrival to pay their respects, they said, but really to see a man who had no regard for money and distinction. They were received formally, the spokes­ man bringing a copy of a periodical which contained a portrait of Agassiz, which he produced and carefully com­ pared with the lineaments of the pro­ fessor until he had satisfied himself of the authenticity of the individual, when he addressed his followers with, "Yes, it's himl" And they then proceeded to shake hands with him, the rest of the party being ignored.--W.
