VAN 8LYKE, Editor Spruce Street 'A special from Chicago, under dale of July 7th,says that before Jud<e Mono OD Tuesday morning the motion #l>r a new trial for Joseph C. Mack in wM overruled, as was a motion for stay of sentence. Judge Moran sentenced Mack in to five years in Joliet prison, sentence to be executed within flftcea ilaya. "The rascal must go." 'The strike of the West Side Railway Company emp.'oyes, in Chi­ cago, is still unsettled, and that por­ tion of the city is virtually in tlie bands of a howling mob. It Is dis­ graceful to think that a city like Chi­ cago has not the backbone to put dawn such lawlessness. They should pnt down the mob if It takes t!qM*«Mftp§, fa th« State ta do it. Sergeant Mason, the soldier who shot at a window where Guitau, the assassin, was accustomed to loiter, and who received a great deal of notoriety for his breach of military discipline, is to jail In Washington as a common thief. "Betty and the baby" are be­ fore the courts asking a legal separa­ tion from him. It is said Mason has ran through all the money a misguided public subscribed for her. and the baby's support. fV'Tbe footpads of New Y<yk City femye adopted a new method of effect­ ing a highway robbery. They sudden­ ly throw a lasso over the shoulders of their Intended victim, draw it tight, pinion his arms to his side, and then by a violent pull of the lasso throw blm down and empty his pockets. There was an epidemic of garroting for many years, and this method will become so if not checked. This new departure in crime, if not summarily dealt with, will become as common in large cities as the lassoing of bronchos. •fi^A London doctor has published some carious comparitive statistics on the longevity of public and profession­ al men. He found that the average age at death of the twenty-five most prominent American statesmen during the last hundred years was 69. The average of an equal number of English statesmen was 70 years--practically the same. He thought the latter did more work at an advanced age. The difference in favor ef English, as com­ pared with American, political life was brought out comparing the age at death of members of the British Par­ liament with those of the U. S. Con­ gress who died between 1860 and 1884. Of •of Senators fifty-nine gave an aver­ age of 61 years; 146 Representatives averaged 55 years, add the average for both was 68. The 121 members of Ifferliment averaged 68 years at death. •9"Just before Gen, Logan left for Washington he said to a friend: UI hope every Republican who asks to be retained by this administration will be turned out of office. I have received letter after letter from Republicans in office urging me to exert myself to have them retained. I shall not humil- iato myself in that way. I would rath or help to get that sort of Republicans out, In fact it is strange to me that a Republican would ask a Democratic administration to keep him In office. No Republican would ask Cleveland to appoint him if be was out of office. A petition for retention stands on the same principle. It Is virtually asking a Democrat for an appointment. If a Republican would net ask for an office bo should Bot ask to be retained in one. If be is holding an office, and is asked to remain on account of his faithful services it Is another thing. In that esse he has a right to accept, but he is dearly wrong in asking to,be retain how to keep herself before the public in a way modest, yet profitable. Seat­ ed in an open carriage before the Fal­ mouth hotel, at noon on Wednesday, cverj-hudy asked who that lady was, and there were enough Illinois and other men around to gratify curlousity. Tills has been a Logan week in the Blaine state. Perhaps the thing can be reversed, but It Is doubtful If Mrs. Blaine could do in llilools what Mrs. Logan did in Maine. DoathofHon- Reuben Ellwood' It Is with feelings of the deepest re­ gret that we are called upon to make the above announcement. To know Reuben Ellwood was to respect and honor him. In his death the Fifth Congressional District loses an able and efficient Congressman, the State at large a progressive citizen, and the community i:i which he lived a man whose place it will <>e hard to fill. Reuben Ellwood was emphatically the friend of the poor and oppr< ssed, wherever found, We find the following sketch of his life in the Sycamore Republican: Reuben Ellwood was born in Mont­ gomery Co. New York, Feb. 17, 1821, the fourth of a family of 11 children. A very remarkable family they are. all active, useful and very su< cessful citizens. His parents were in humble circumstances, his father a cooper, and the children as fust as they grew up were required to strike out for them­ selves which they all did to a good purpose. In the year 1836 Reuben was 15 years old, a large, brave, strong boy. and hearing much of the charms of the far west resolved to start out and seek his for une there. He came with his s!ster, Mrs. Six- bury, and all the way to Sycamore in a covered wagon. The first year he hired out as a farmer, to William Miller of Kingston and spent a hard but useful twelve months in learning the methods and means of farming on the Illinois prairies. Next season he worked on the new dam, the first on« built on the Fox River at Geneva, Kane Co, The fol­ lowing year lie worked in a Rockford brick yard and the year after he drove an oxteam in the wofk of building a basin on the Illinois canal at LaSalle. It was about this time that he made a claim to a quarter section of land en which is now located Boies' addition to the city of Sycamore. He spent a winter in fencing it with Virginia fence and a few ot the rails which he split for that purpose are still in ex­ istence although nearly fifty years have passed since that time. He had now spent dve years In the west and grown from boyhood to manhood. He was not in good health; he felt the need of better education and he returned to Schenectady N. Y. and thence went to Cherry Valley Acadmey which was at that time the best educational institution In that section of the country. After leaving school he looked around for work again and concluded to embark in what was then one of the prominent industries of the Mohawk valley, the culture of broom corn. He purchased a fine farm at a cost of 815,- 000 and we soon find him running a large broom factory employing at one time 130 men aud pushing the business with his usual energy and zeal. In the year 1849 he married Eleanor Vedder. of Scheuectady, who still sur- vh'es him and by whom he has had six children. Always active in politics he was elected a member of the New York Legislature in 1850 at the ag* of 29. In 1856 he was made a tpember of the Republican National Conven­ tion which nominated John C. Fre­ mont for President, But in 1857 he thought he saw better prospects for business in the west and in that year he removed with his family again to Sycamore where he had still retained an interest in the land which he hid entered frona government nearly twenty years before. Here he Intro­ duced the culture of broom corn and made our village lively *with that branch of business. Soon after he opened a hardware store and retained his interest in that business for about twenty years. He had a good deal of inventive genius and through his sales of agricultural machinery was led to suggest improvements which he patented and this led him to start a factory for building the machines. Hi* manufacturing interests soon grew to large proportions. He gave employ* ment to over 200 men and a quarter of a million dollars of capital. In that business lis has continued ever since. He has been Mayor of Sycamore, Assessor of Internal Revenue and in 1882 was elected to Congress, and reelected in 1884, M^A dispatch from Portland, Maine, to the Boston Herald, concern­ ing the national encampment of the Grand Army, contains the following of Interest to Illinois: The Logan boom is a surprise. All this week the Illinois senator has been the hero of the occasion. In Tuesday's procession he was the one man whom everybody knew and whooa, everybody wanted to see, and everybody cheered blm, too, At all the public meetings and at the secret or executive sessions •f the national enca mpment, Logan was tbe central figure. Ou the streets, op at the .camp ground, everywhere be was the man. But why was not Blaine invited? The answer is that the lead- lag Grand Army men, though Republi­ cans did not dare to invite him. When some Grand Army poats paraded, in uniform, last August, at Strong, in Franklin county, to receive and escort tbe Republican presidental candidate tile"Grand Army ;in this department received a staggering blow. It threat­ ened for a while to disrupt the or­ ganization In this state, but gradually the feeling subsided, and the harmony Which had been broken was restored After last year's experience the man^ agers hero dared take DO risk. They did not invite Mr. Blaine, the second citizen of the state, as ex-Vice Presi­ dent Hamlin, who was bidden, la the fret, for fear of being misunderstood. There Is still another element In this Logau business. Mrs. Logan has been M conspicuous, as popular, and as much an object of admiration and respect to tbe curloos crowd as tbe general blm self. She Is not as handsome as those wbo have read of her without having MOB her would expect. She is not •tfteif or Imposing, but sbe knows ti' . . • Jr* 'T ' • " ' We endorse every word of the following, which we find in the Marengo Republican of last week. Senator Curtiss returned last Satur­ day from Springfield, the Legislative session having adjourned sine die. Mr. Curtiss has done good work and plenty of it -hiring the past session, and Is entitled to the thanks of his coBti- uency for the eftorts he made to keep the unruly House from being a total disgrace tto the State. The Senate, though nearly as evenly divide 1 as the Hous j, k«pt Its head qui .e commend- »bly, and only on -e, we think, lost its ligniiy,and that by the continuously , lemoralizing example of the House. Mr. Curtiss has made a good record as an efficient worker, staunch and re­ liable every time ; his work has been with a view to promote the best in­ terests of his constituents, and the State at large. And also the following from the Capron Herald: During the session of the legislature justcosed.no men.ber gained more notoriety or conducted himself in more of a gentlemanly manner than Charles E Fu ler, of Bo >ne. He was the republican candidate for speaker, anil after the election of Haines to that position, stood as tne leader of his party during their darkest hours. Since the republican* gained control of the house and sleeted Logan sen ator, he has virtually been speaker of that body, as Haines has not occupied the chair but little, the members al­ ways calling Fuller to that position, saying that no member could as well preside over their stormy deliber­ ations. Well can the people of Bootte county be proud or their represent­ ative. NCMDA, June 29th, 1885. At the committee meeting of the 95th, III. Infty. appointed to arrange for the next reilnion of that regiment it was decided to have no long winded orating, but instead have a regular eld fashioned class meeting; where every comrade may have his say, tell his story, sing his song or respond to his favorite toast. Capt. Jimes Nisli and comrades Wm. Butler and M. F. Ells­ worth were appointed a committee on programme. And to give all who will take a part in the exercises time to prepare themselves and to give the. committee ample time to arrange a fitting programme, it Is requested that any old soldier who will respond to a toast, sing a song or tell a story will send In the same with their name, to one of the above .named committee as soon as they can make It convenient. The committee will then have time to arrange the order of exercises, allow­ ing each one his share of the time. We hope to have on the 4th of Sep­ tember next, the Urgest and best reunion the old Regiment ever had, and to make it an object to all our comrades who live at a distance to come and meet with us. And we hope to see every old soldier within a days ride of us (no matter what command they served with) present on that oc­ casion. We confidently hope that Gen. A. J. Smith, the hero of the Red River Campaign, will be with us, and we be lieve that every soldier that served under him would go a long ways to see him. Comrades send la your toasts, songs or stories and let every one who sees this write to comrade G. S. South- worth, for circular lstters of Invitation to absent comrades, or write one of their own to all they have the address of. Will neighboring papers please give this tbe benefit of their circula­ tion. Yours in F. C. L. M. F. ELLSWORTH. W. BUTLER. To Memory Dean A correspondent writing from Chill, Peru, has the follow !ng to say in the Chicago Inter Ocean regarding the late Hon. S. A. Hurlbut: General Hurlbut has been condemned for acting imprudently; for getting our government into a scrape without excuse; for committing it to a policy that was not tenable, but no one can visit Peru, and see tha results of the war, without taking off his hat out of respect to the memory of Gen. Hurlbut. He acted from the noblest impulses, Ip behalf of humanity, in defense of civl- zation, and whether he tried to put a stop to the war with or witl out au­ thority, he was justified in doing so; justified in trying to prevent the burn­ ing of defensless cities, the murder ot non-combatants, the robbery of homes and despoliation of everything that was sacred. The law prohibits assault upon a fellow man, but it justifies the U8e of force in protecting a cripple from brutality and murder, and that is just what G'-neral Hurlbut did. Peru was overcome, conquered and resist­ less. Her army was destroyed, and her citizens who had attempted to de­ fend her capital with what weapons they could gather, were smitten down like grass before the scythe. There was scarcely a voice to be raised in de fense of the women and children. Then the pillage comm"nced. Dyna­ mite petroleum were the weapons of Chili, and millions of dollars worth of private property was swept away daily, until the Chilians got tired of murder, of rapine, of p llnge and de­ vastation. It was this that Hurlbut tried to prevent, and had our govern­ ment supported him, or nad he been let alone, he would have been success- D t',e Chilians laugh and tne reruvlaits mutter curses when "the foreign policy of the'United States" Is mentioned. General Hurlbut stauds next door to a saint in the eyes of-the Peruvians. 1 hey regard him as the noblest of all Americans. His portrait hangs in their parlors, and is still for sale at the photograph galleries and picture stores tne funeral was attended by tlie great­ est uettfoiHtratious Peru ever wit- nessed.and the grateful people would erect a statute to him if they had worn? enough left to pay the expease.
