'WHEN a boy is about 18 he spends his time figuring on how to conquer the world. But after a few years you find him drawing plans for much smaller con­ tracts, and later he would feel satisfied if he could conquer himself, and it fre­ quently take<? all the help of religious in­ fluence and sometimes the Keely cure for him to do that."

We found him an affable and pleasing gentleman and we enjoyed our visit with him very much. A poet writes that he has "written six different and distinct poems on wind."

THE entertainment by the Scott Family, namely R. D. Scott and wife and Mrs. Mabel Scott Surrick, at Stoffel's Hall, on Friday evening of last week, was, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, well attended and is highly spoken of by all. Other engagements prevented us from attending. M. J. FREUND, Tax Collector for this ownship, has just returned his books, and when we take into consideration the close times, has made a good showing. The full amount, of taxes for this town was $13,918.43, of which he collected $12,389.63, thus returning uncollected $^528.80. /WORD has been received from W.

A NEW order has been introduced by he Chicago & Northwestern railway whereby all baggagemen at stations and a number of other employes of the road will be compelled to use standard watches. The company will have a watch inspector whose business it will be to test each man's watch every week. The order goes into effect about the first of April. *•--WITH the approach of Easter the egg making craze will be coming into vogue again. Here is a simple process: Write whatever you want on the ejrg with a good quality of varnish or melted tallow. Then place the egg in vinegar or in a solution of muriatic acid. Take them ont after a couple of hours and your lettering is clear and fixed. One table- spoonful of muriatic acid to a glass of water will make a good solution. AT the Annual Meeting of the Eighth District Republican E litorial Associ ation, held at DeKalb, on Saturday last, A. H. Lowrie, of the Elgin Advocate, was elected President, and Whitteleton, of the Harvard Herald, Secretary. Owing to the fact that we are crowded with other matter and also short of help, we are unable this week to give this meeting the write up which we had in­ tended, but shall do so in our next. Suffice at this time to say it was a large and enthusiastic gathering of the edi­ torial faternity of this District and their friends, who were royally taken care of by the hospitable citizens of the little city of DeKalb. Next week we shall make more extended mention of ths meeting and what we saw while there..

The Milk Raid's in all their glory were there, the ilk PailB were there, the Milking Stools ;re there, Mrs. O'Leary's Cow was there, and cow culture was discussed in the most dignified manner by all. As we said it was a success and was highly en­ joyed by all present. The receipts of the evening were something over $30, which will leave a handsome balance in the treasury of the Aid Society. THE new dog law will'go into effect April 1st. It provides for the payment to the assessor of $1 for every single male, $2 for each additional male and $3 for every female do«. The assessor is required to keep a record of all dogs on which taxes have been paid, and should he discover that others are kept, the owner will be taken before a justice of the peace and fined not less than $5 nor more than $20. A list of taxed dogs will be kept jn the office of the town trustees, and can be inspected by any person. Once More. We ask our old friends, our new friends, our many good, kind,,, appreciative friends to accept our thanks for their unexpected, liberal patronage, despite the bad weather of Tuesday night March 22d.

As we said he is a practical Watch Maker of long expe­ rience and is capable of making a whole or any part of a watch, from the small­ est screw and wheel to a full time piece. He has the finest set of tools to be found outside <>f a Wntch Factory, owned by a private individual. Watch and Clock re­ pairing is his specialty, and he does not pretend to be a Jeweler. He has on ex­ hibition a ship chronometer that is an old and highly prized relic. It was made by Thos. E. Earnshaw, of London, who died 100 years ago, consequently the chronometer must be considerably over one hundred -years old. Mr. ^Anners bought it in New York ten years ago. It was then in a damaged condition and considered woithless. On taking it apart he found a mark upon the main spring which showed that it had been re­ paired in 1811. He repaired it and it has since kept perfect time being rated at one second a week fast, and is kept now to regulate watches. The box in which this chronometer is kept is made of cedar with silver corners and trim­ mings and was made by Mr. Anners him­ self, who is a genius in that line. Do not fail to call and see him when in that part of town. THiS UNKNOWN The following particulars in relation to the mau found dead ou the Wauconda road, of which we spoke of last week, we clip from the Nunda Flerald: Last Friday afternoon Henry Grabbe, a hunter, found the dead body of a man lying on his back, in a corn fiul i, about one hundred rods north of the residence of H. C. Werden, across theTiver. The man was unknown. He was about 35 years of age, blue eyes, light hair and monstache, recently shaven, and wore, when found, a complete suit of underclothing, blue pants, dark shirt, coat and vest and toothpick shoes. The coroner's jury found on his person 67 cents in money, match box inarKed ' K. W.," pearl handled jacknife, pocket comb, cigar holder, and some newspaper clippings abput race horses, printed in English. Also a two-ounce phial, nearly empty, which had seemiugly contained liniment. His pants were split from bottom to top, both leg6--a freak which leads some to believe that lightning caused his death. The ground where he lay showed evidence of a slight struggle, such as one might make iu a fit. Thy body was not bloated, which partiall; disposed of the poison theory. He hai not been dead longer than thirty-six hours when found. „ \ Cornorer Wernham arrived from Ma­ rengo Saturday morning, and the fol­ lowing jury was sworn: H. C. Werden, L. A. Beach, M. C. Smith, Will Conover, Henry Harris, Fred Bloom. The jury met at Werd^n's house. Their verdict was to the eff-eft that deceased came to his death from causes unknown. The body «vn« tiken to Nunda, and placed in chnrpe < f Undertaker Copover. No one rec u'n:zing the remains, they were finally iriv^n a resting place in the pot­ ter's fiHd. He rpquested lodging of Policeman Henderson Wednesday, and was released Thursday morning. He was not intoxi­ cated and was happy. The man Was about 5 feet 7 in height, and weished about 150 pounds. There were no marks of violence of any kind. A torpid liver robs you of ambition and ruins your health.
