Southwest of this village, has been building a new house on the same. It Is 20x38 feet, 18 foot posts, with piazza on North aud South 9ides.

WE would rail particular attention to the new advertisement o! Rudolph A McNett, boot and shoe dealers, Woodstock, which can be found Ip an­ other column. This firm have recent­ ly started in Dacy's Block, and have a stock of goods ln *tbeir line e<jnal to any in the county, and are selling at the lowest living prices, and goods guaranteed as* rapresented. When at the Fair be sure to give them a call Read their advertisement. A PERPLEXING mathematical prob­ lem is going the rounds of the press that may serve to tax the ingenuity of school boys or even children of a large growth. It is thus stated: A freight t^in one mile in length stopped at a station with the caboose just opposite the depot. The conductor received orders to move his train to the uext station, which was just five miles distant. He gave the engineer the signal to move, which he did. while the conductor walked over the train to the engine aud got there just as the locomotive reached the station, where he got off. The question is how far did he walk or how far did he ride, or did he ride at all? ^ Special Premiume*iMdltloit»l. Mrs. P. W.

TfieiiAtf aiMI the Old Settlors. As there bas been considerable out­ side talk (principally by the band; and misrepresentation as to why the Mc­ Henry Band was not hired for Old Settlers' Day, we deem It best to make full statement of the facts and then let the people judge as to who was wrong in the matter. At a meeting for the puxpose ol making arrangements for the Old Set­ tlers' meeting we were appointed a the occasion. We called the Leader into our office and asked him what the band would play for the Old Settlers for. He Informed me that there would be a meeting that night, and that he would let me know the next day. I said to him, "be as easy as you can, as the Association has no money only what is contributed." He never came near me the next day, nor after­ wards, and I oould learn nothing defi­ nite by inquiry. Ou the night of their next meeting a week after, I sent the band word that I would give them •25, and if after paying other expenses we had any money left I would give them 15 more. I got no direct answer to this, but heard they said they would entertain no such proposition. After waiting several days and making up our mind that they either "wanted the world" or did not want anything, we hired another band. We should not have made this state­ ment only that downright lies haye been circulated In relation to the mat­ ter, and we wish the people to know the facts, which are exactly as stated above. The band attempted to bull­ doze and got lift, and there is nobody to blame but themselves. JOHN KNOX, who resides near Terra Cotta', committed suicide at his resi­ dence, on Monday last, by taking Paris Green. He has been out of bis head at times for the past two years, and imagined that some one was trying to get bis property away from him. While in these moods his friends have feared he would do himself harm, and consequently have kept a close watch on him, but be at last evaded them and took his own lite. On Monday morning he came Into the house and informed his family that he had taken Paris Green. Dr. ,F«gers was imme­ diately sent for who done all in his power to counteract the poison, but with no avail, and he died in great agony about three o'clock In the after­ noon. Coroner Cook was notified who came over and held an inquest, the Jury, after hearing the evidence of the Doctor bringing in a yerdict that John Knox came to his death' from the effects of a dose of Paris Green, administered by his own hands, with suicidal intent, while crazy. Mr. Knox was an old setter of the county, was about 65 years old and was highly respected In the community where he lived and wherever known. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his mely end. THE iarge stock barn of Henry C. Meadr -oae lnlle Weat oX this village, with its entire, contents, was destroyed t?y .fire on Thursday night, or rather Friday morning last, between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock. The fire was discovered by parties in the West end of the village who drove to Mr. Mead's and awoke them, but the fire had gained such headway that It was almost a miracle that they saved the adjoining buildings. In the barn was something over 50 tons of chotce Hay, 1 Plow, Feed Cutter, a Silo 18x26, In process of building, the lower part of which was finished, 1 Hay Fork.and Tackling, Shovels, Spades. Forks, and other Tools. Also one fine young Blooded Bull, The barn was a large one, being 54x54, with two additions, one 18x36 and the other 24x24. The loss is estimated at about #3000. The barn and contents was Insured in the St Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company for #1500, and his live stock in the Home $f New York for #650. As to the origin of the fire tut little is known, but on raking over the ruins the ribs of an old saohel waa found, and it Is supposed that some tramp had taken lodging there for the night, and striking a match for some purpose set the hay on fire, and seeing what he bad done made himself scarce. This is the general belief, and seems reasonable. It is a serious loss to Mr. Mead, his entire stock of bay being consumed. IflLft (U2 TM m dfltlR A Big Crowd an# a Glorious Time.

The day was fine aud at an early hour the peo­ ple, old and young, began to gather, and by 12 o'clock the crowd was vari­ ously estimated at from 7,000 to 10,000 people. Promptly at eleven o*clook the exer cises were commenced at the stand, and the speaking, sipging, music, etc., were ail of the most Jnteresting char­ acter. If we had the time and space we would very much like to give the speeches io full. We can only say that those who failed to hear them missed a rich treat. Remarks were made by Asa W. Smith, Esq., President of the Day, Col. J. S. Wilcox, of Elgin, Hoa, Geo. Gage, Hon. A. B. Coon and others, and all were listened to with the^clos­ est attention. The remarks of Col. Wilcox were appropriate to the occa­ sion and those who listened were unan­ imous in the opinion that the commit­ tee had made no mistake In inviting him tc address them on that occasion. He Is an easy, graceful speaker, and talks with that earnestness that car­ ries conviction with his words. After the exercises at the stand were concluded and dinner over, the Amusement part of the programme was carried out to the letter,v*nd to the entire satisfaction of all. For the Foot Race there were six contestent8. the first money being won by Tooy Barblan, of this village, and the second by Tony King, of Waucon- da. For the Boat Race there were four contestants, the firat prize being won by W. Woodburn, and the second by B. Stilling, The Tub Raoe was woo io one, two three order as follows: Dell 'JVd, Glide Curtis, J. Gllleo. T";;, The Sack and Wheelbarrow Races created lots of fun and were won, the first by Vern Ford and the last by Oranger. A shower coming on at the close of the exercises spoiled Istfftiwhat the visiting part of the day, and also the journey home for Outsiders, but taside irom this i the day waa one of real en­ joyment for all.
