"'.i tig Xaau&cturiner Binding Twine *t the Penitentiaries, " From the Whiteside Sentinel. " A short time since the IIttnois legisla­ ture, in view of the high price of binding t wine, passed a joint resolution request­ ing the Penitentiary Commissioners to investigate as to the costr of the neces­ sary machinery for its manufacture at one^of the penitentiaries, and the prob­ able cost of production, and report the result of their investigation at an early day. Last week Tuesday the Commis­ sioners of the Joliet penitentiary pre­ sented the following report to the Legis­ lature To the Honorable. the General Assembly of the State of Illinois. In accordance with the joint resolution of the senate and house, instructing- the Commissioners of the Joliet and Chester penitentiaries, "to make investigation as to the cost of the necessary plant for the manufacture of binding twine and the probable cost of production," etc., the undersigned respectfully report as fol­ lows : That one set of machinery for the manufacture of binding twine capable of producing 10,000 pounds per. day. or ,1,500 tons per year of >'100 working days, will cost from $32,000 to f.'55,000. Tii* labor necessary to handle this machinery will require the services of 75 convicts. After deducting the cost of maintaining prisoners engaged in this labor, we esti­ mate that the cost of manufacture will .not exceed 1^ cents per pound of twine. ® Our estimate for machinery is based upon that which will manufacture twine from manilla and sisal, as these titers are at present almost altogether used in the manufacture of binding twine, and ma­ chinery for the manufacture of twine from other fibers--except Kentucky hemp, which is not extensively produced --is yet in an experimental stage. As binding twine only finds a market during neveraf of the summer months, if manufacturing is commenced by the State it will be necessary to carry a stock of fibers sufficient to produce the entire THE Mcllenry County W.

Mr. Rice was a comparatively young man being only about thirty-six years old. He had been educated in Europe and had been owner and editor of the The American Review since 1876. His death is 'a great surprise, and is a great loss to the field of journalism. IP' WT* A resent circular issued by the „ Treasury Department, proposing to ship free of charge to persons desiring them, nickels and pennies in certain^ quantities, on receipt of the face value, has suggested some inquiries in regard to the cost of these coins to the United States, and how it is that they can afford to ship them at par value, paying express charges upon them. The result of these inquiries has been the discovery that the nickel costs at the mint less than three- quarters of a cent, while it is pot in cir­ culation at a value of 5 cents. f .» Iff" 18P "Brick" Pomeroy, at 234 Broad­ way, New York City, is now editing and publishing the liveliest and most interest­ ing fl a year publication ever printed in that city. His famous Saturday Night Chapters; his Pen Pictures of London; hfe descriptions of the "plague places" of* New York City, and his vivid chapters of I4fe Experience in La Crosse, during the war, are each worth more than the price of his paper, whieh bears the significant title of Advance Thought. Pomeroy is a 55 year old volume of National his- tory, and now he is letting it out red hot. A broom manufacturer in Duluth, Minn., has hit npon a novel way of set­ tling a strike in hk factory. He has in­ creased the wages of all of his marrfed employes and given notice tb the others that their services will not be needed alter the end of the month unless they are married before that time. In case of marriage they will be retained at in­ creased pay. Jt is presumed this plan is adopted simply with a view to settling the strike amicably, but may it not be with business forethrought in another direction--brooms and broom-sticks be­ ing an indispensable adjunct to hous- keeping? Or is the proprietor setting an example for other manufacturers, by adopting a plan which will materially tend to increase the population of Dnluth and thus increase the demand*for brooms and other manufactured articles? At all events he would seem to have added match-making to his other enterprises. is 13% t ents per pound, and of sisal 11 % cents per pound. From August 1st last to the present date the average price of manilla has been 12 3--10 cents per pound, and the average price of sisal fiber 10% cents per pound. Basing the price upon these figures, the sums neces­ sary to purchase the fibers to meet the capacity of the machinery plant indicat­ ed will lie 1.500,000 pounds of^inatiilla, fl84,500; for *1,500,000 pounds sisal f 153,750, or a total appropriation, in­ cluding the cost of machinery, of $353,- 250. The machinery plant specified will pro duce rather less than one-third of the amount of twine used eacji season by the farmers of Illinois The manufacture of binding twine at the Joliet iienitentiary is not only possi­ ble, but feasible, and before commencing its manufacture we only await the neces­ sary appropriation and authority from your honorable bodies. Very respect­ fully, - S. H. JONES, A. S. WltlGHT ( HAS. BENT, Commissioners of the Illinois State Peiri tentiary at Joliet. Representative Bradshaw of this dis­ trict has prepar^l a bill which it is stat­ ed has been reported to the House of Representatives providing for the appro­ priation of $70,000 for the machinery plant and $200,000,000 for the purchase of the necessary fibres with which to commence the manufacture of twine at the Joliet penitentiary. The session of the Legislature is so near its close that it is rather doubtful about the measure be­ coming a," law. It would seem the part of wisdom, however, if our legislation would pay some attention to the needs of the great farming interests of the State, and secure the passage of this bill which would have a tendency to cause a reduc­ tion of the present excessive price of binding twine. 15th Illinois Regimental Reunion.

Hurley has paid a great deal of mon­ ey into the treasury on account of his periodical sprees, but w;as never known to acknowledge that he was drunk. H< was brought before the magistrate Saturday morning, and told what the charge was against him. He flared up at once. "No sir I was not drunk,"' he said, "no I wasn't disorderly, either. It is a great note that I can't come uptown without being arrested." * Hurley demanded a lawyer and several were sent for, but they refused to defend him. He was then asked to name some particular lawyer whom he wanted. "Any of them, I don't care" said the prisoner. "How would Hopkins do? asked City Attorney McNett.

The microscope his proved that these diseases are contagious, and that they are due to the presence of living para­ sites in the lining membrane of the upper air passages and eustachian tubes. The eminent scientists, Tyndall, Huxley, and Beale, endorse this and these authorities cannot be disputed. The regalar method of treating these diseases is to apply an irritant remedy weekly and even daily thus keeping the delicate membrane in a constant state of irritation, accompanied by violent sneezing, allowing it no chance to heal, and as a natural conse­ quence of such treatment not one perma­ nent cure has ever been recorded. It is an absolute fact that these diseases can­ not be cured by any application made oftener than once in two weeks, for the membrane must get a chance to heal be­ fore any application is repeated. It is now seven years since Mr. Dixon discov­ ered the parasite in catarrh and formu­ lated his new treatment, and since then his remedy has become a household word in every country where the English lang­ uage is spoken. Cures effected by him seven years ago are cures still, there hav­ ing been no rettfrn of the disease. So highly are these remedies valued, and so great is the demand for them, that the ignorant imitators have started up everywhere, pretending to destroy a parasite, of which they know nothing, by remedies the result of application of which they are equally ignorant. Mr. Dixon's remedy is applied once in two weeks, and from one to three applications effect a permanent cure in the most ag­ gravated cases. N. B.--For catarrhal trouble peculiar to females this remedy is a specific. Mr. Dixon sends a pamphlet discribing his new treatment on the receipt of 10c in stamps. The address is A. H.

The views expressed were a high tribute to the President. Ex-Judge Noah Dqvis expressed admirably the pKevailiiig sentiment when he said: "It Is my opinion that no President has, during the first two months of his ad­ ministration, exhibited a more sincere desire to conduct the government in the interests of the entire people.

The attractive 5-A advertisements which are appearing in our columns speak for the largest makers of hors< blankets in the world, who sell more horse blankets lap dusters, horse sheets, fly nets, etc., than all the other makers combined. This enormous business has been built up by following three sound business principles. By making, strong honest goods which wear and give satis­ faction so you will ask for them again and recommend them to your friends. By sewing their 5-A trade mark on the inside of their horse clothing so you can tell the genuine from the poor imitations. Last but not least, by advertising liber­ ally in the newspapers and letting every­ body know that 5-A horse clothing for summer and winter use is strong and will give satisfaction. A house which, makes a good article and does not ad­ vertise hides its light under a bushel, but a liberal advertiser like our 5-A friends will find that the American people ap­ preciate a good thing and* will buy it w lien told where to get it.
