President Cleveland late Sun- :4*r afternoon came to the conclusion 'flint it was hli duty to remain in ^Washington instead of going to the ftmeral of the late Vice President* «fe Iw intended and desired.

Palmer, after the shoot­ ing, escaped*nd up to 7 o'clock Sunday evening had notbeen captured. mirOi] Wednesday evening of last Week the country was shocked at the sadden death of Vicft President Hen- dricks, at his home at Indianapolis, Indiana, of heart dioea^e. His death makes a vacancy In the office, which will remain until Congress assembles next week, and then the Senate will elect. That body being Republican Will, of course, elect a Republican fpeaker and Vice President. • It is un- eertaln at this time who that will be. -•^"Cleveland has killed,by personal action, his civil service policy. Before •ending that $1,000 to New York to aid Hill he should have read section 14 of the Civil Service law, which reads: •No officer,clerk or other person in the Office of the United States shall, direct If or indirectly, give or hand over to 4kiy other officer, cleric or person in the fcrvice of the United States, or to any ttnator or member of the house of tepresent&tives or territorial delegate fj^ny money or other valuable thing on account of or to be applied to tbe promotion of any political object Whatever." Cleveland has a magnifi­ cent policy but a mighty poor practice. {r)-_ •£?' During the present year the Chi. L **SO& Northwesters Road has made toaiiy new conquests of territory, and , ipany extensions and improvements, - Of these the following are among the t most prominent: A new line from Beividere. III., south to the coal fields west of Peru, a distance of seventy-6lx V miles; from Centervllle. D. T., to Yankton. D. T., new line, distance of thirty miles; from Valentine, Neb., west to Chadron, a line of 137 miles. : Grading is progressing on a jjfew line from Chadron north toward Rapid ' City, near Dead wood; also a lin s from >• ; Chadron west. At Winona, Minn., a niammoth elevator was erected; a new v vfrasseiiger station at Madison, Wis. and six new iron spaus have been plac- fp their Mississippi River bridge at * Clinton, Iowa, c tSTAo investigition has been going On Into the management of tbe Cook Cgjbunty insane asylum. The .gravest fears have been sustained by the in­ vestigation. Acts of sheer brutality tnd cruelty on the part of subordinate officers have been numerous. Uufortu- aate insane persons have been locked U> their cells alone and kept without flnffltileut healthy food and in filth for days. The whole establishment, in its secret recesses, seems to be a sign of material and moral polution. Tbe Giuse so em 8 to be that the corrupt **jounty fathers," whpse inclinations ftfe evil and "that continually," have overshadowed this cbaratable institu­ tion with their baneful Influence. In fact, every institution under that con­ trol, oo matter for what purpose estab­ lished, must contribute its quota to support tbe gang, and that either in money or moral degradation. Some of tbe causes for this deplorable condi tion of things are alleged to be no tenure of office, but every appointee subject to vomoval without cause to give place to.a favorite os a newly elected alder­ man. Men and women of a low type of morality must always be taken to do tfee low and dishonest work, and hence tl»e abuses at the expense of suffering to the helpless unfortunates. tic troubles arising, as he alleges, from the misconduct of his wife a id the an­ noyances caused by his mother-in iaw. In Brooklyn a young Swedish woman, Christine Eklander, married a scamp Wlio rati away with all her money and jewelry mid is found to have another wife and two children in Connecticut. In Syracuse appears a double divorce suit, Florence E, Saul applying for, a bill against her husband, and John D. Grlswold, of -Buflalo, suing his wife lor divorce, with Mr. Saul as co-r spondent. Then comes a divorce suit hi/Brooklyn brought by Mrs. Evelyn Robbins against her husbanf), whom she accuses of ail sorts of inhuman treatment. A divorce suit in Detroit Is of a different character, Mr. Louis Stewart applying for a separation from his wife on the ground of her violent and ungovern­ able temper and her eccentric habit of gathering scrap iron and paving-stones with which she fills the house, A vio­ lent tempered wife becomes more dangerous when. she keeps a stock of paving-stone and pieces of iron on hand. In New York Mrs. M*ry R. Smith, of Battery place, appears to have been doubly unfortunate. She married a man whom she subsequently found to be a bigamist, and was then robbed by a scamp Who promised to "protect" her property from her treacherous hus­ band. From Auburn we have the story of Edith Porter, a woman twenty-two years of age, who has disappeared from home, leaving word that she kills her­ self for lore of her "dear Joe." As rfne single day's record In the Netv York journals this l» quite suffi­ cient to induce serious reflection. We may well a«k ourselves whether such unhappiness fs not traceable In a great measure to hasty and inconsiderate marriages, often contracted by young people who are ignorant of life and governed by passion rather than rea­ son, "A jealous light* his torch from the firebrands of the furies,'" says Burke. And the record* of the dally journals prove the truth of the saying. PURGE out the lurking distemper that undermines health, and constitu­ tional vigor will return. Those who suffer from an enfeebled and disordered state of the system, should take Ayer'a Sarsaparill'i to cleanse the blood arid restore vitality. Dissolution Notice. The Partnership heretofore existing under the firm name of Wattles A Parsons, for the manufacture of Butter, is this* day dissolved by mutual consent. The business will be continued by Homer Wattles, who will till all contracts of said Hrm, and settle all bills against the same. All monies due said firm must be paid to Homer Wattles, who is here­ by authorized to receipt for the same. HOMER WATTLES, It. D PARSONS. Dated MeHenry, III., Nov. 23d, 1885.
