They have just put in a new twenty horse-power boiler, and are build­ ing a new smoke stack, which, when com­ pleted, will be 60 feet high. They are also making other improvements in and jund the factory. As will be seen by a notiee in another place in this paper, F. K. Granger will sell at Auction, at the Stock Yards, in this village, on Saturday next, twenty choice cows, most of them with calves by their sides. This will be a rare oppor­ tunity for anyone wishing to replenish their dairy. Remember the time, Satur­ day next, at 10 o'clock. A TERBE HAUTE, Ind., woman the oth­ er morning poured a can of kerosene oil over her husband while he slept, and then touched a lighted match to him. She in­ tended probably to wake him up to a sense of matitudinal duty and at the same time give him a practical lesson in fire building, but it was too much for him; he didn't survive it. AN ancient proverb says: "You cannot get more out of a bottle than you gut in." The a. p. is dead wrong on that point. Besides what yod put in you can get a headache, a sick stomach, and perhaps ten days on the rock pile, or Bix months in the "house of destruction." It de­ pends altogether on what you pnt in the bottle. • THE crura newspapers are publishing the horrid story that one of the "sweet . girl graduates" in a neighboring town read an essay on physiology in which she said: "The human body is divided into three parts--the head, chist and stumick. The head contains the eyes and brains, if any. The chist contains the lungs and a part of the liver. The stumick is devoted 5 to the bowels, of which there is Ave--a, e, i, o, Uj and sometimes w and y."--Lake Co. Patriot. CATARRH is in the blood.

DIED, atLoBtant, 111., Oct. 8th, 1889, of typhoid fever, Miss Katie Kelter, daughter of Michael Keltefr, of Chicago, agpii27 years. * "•r '* Miss Kelter formerly lived in this vil­ lage where she was highly respected by all wlio knew her, and where she leaves a host of friends who will deeply mourn her early demise. Her remains were brought to this village on Thursday, and laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Kelter and family have the heartfelt sympathy of. their old neighbors and friends in this, their hour of sorrow. BE ireful how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been in building it, of the privations endured, of the wounds received, and let no suspicion follow her action. The purity of woman is the salvation of the face, the hope of futuregreatness, redemp­ tion of man. Wipe out her purity and man sinks beneath the wave of despair with no star to guide his life into a chan­ nel ofsafety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root out the fairest flowers that ever grew, so the vilest men can ipinthe purest woman's character; ; DR. THOMAS said last Sunday in his sermon, "There is no Devil." We say he is mistaken. The Devil is legion. Every community has its devils. Any man who makes the community in which he-lives miserable by bis acts, is a devil. Every man or woman who lives only to m signi­ fy the faults of their fellow beings and who goes from place to place and from neighbor to neighbor to tell and to enlarge upon the faults of an erring one, is-a devil. He or she who sows tares in­ stead of flowers along the path of life is a devil. There is a large crop of devils, and if Mr. Thomas has not seen them he must have staid close at home. But thank God. there are angels, too, and we believe there are more angels than devils. More hearts that wish happiness to their fellows .than there are that wish them misery. ADVERTISING is a'&ience which eatrfiot be mastered in a day. Some have an idea if they advertise about two weeks and spend thereby as many dollars there ought to be a string of customers two miles long waiting for their wares from daylight until dark, and if their expecta­ tions are not realized, then they say ad­ vertising don't pay. It reminds us a good deal of the story about the Indian and the feather-bed. White men had told him that feathers were nice and soft to sleep on. He thought he would try it, and so he took a good sized goose feather one night, put it on a hard wood plank, lay down and went off to sleep. Next morning he was a little sore and ex­ pressed his opinion of the white man's judgment in the following terms: "White man say feather soft: white man fool." It is much this way with adver­ tising. You don't get enough of it to know whether it pays or not in one or tfwo weeks or one month. Give it a fair trial and you will be fully rewarded.--Ex.

LINCOLN KIRK, Impersonator, Hu­ morist and Reader, in his original and refined entertainm ent entitled "The Sub lime and the Ludicrous," will appear at the City Hall on Wednesday evening of next week, Oct. 23d. Mr. Kirk comes highly recommended by both the public and the press, and is said to possess the rare power ot imparting a realism to his performances which makes one forget the speaker by being absorbed in the theme. Below is what the Waukegan Patriot has to say in relation to his late appearance in that city : Mr. Kirk is a humorist and elocutionist of undoubted merit *and versatility and his power of identifying himself with the characters he portrays is both wonderful and laughable in its trueness to the orig­ inals. Part of the program comprised dramatic and humorous recitals of inter­ esting passages from well known authors which were rendered with a correctness and naturalness that gave them new flavor. But it was in his character rep­ resentations that he made the greatest hit. His imitation of the speech and ac­ tions of an old farmer, a drunken man, and the Widow Bedott were well nigh perfect, and his own identity was entirely lost in that of the characters he por­ trayed. Most of th£ audience almost "died a-laffin" during his character sketches, and everybody voted tiie en­ tertainment a grand success. i We bespeak for Mr. Kirk a full house on Wednesday evening next. No "one can spend an evening with more pleasure or profit. GANKLON, at the Chicagtvppfra House, has proved an enormous Success. The press of Chicago with a unanimity that iB remarkable, pronounces it the finest spectacular tragedy that £his country has ever seen. The play is written by a native pf Illinois, and will rank both from a literary and a dramatic point of view, with the finest works by a native Ameri­ can. The play is a succession of brilliant marches, stirring battle scenes, dances, and striking scenic effects. There are 180 persons employed in the piece. The play is laid in the 9th century, thus af­ fording a magnificent opportunity for picturesque costumes. Lawrence Barret, who plays the title roll, has already won for himself the title of the Henry Irving of America. The play will be given one week. It will be produced in Philadel­ phia, Boston and New York upon the same elaborate scale which characterizes it here. Veterans and their Widows. In a Water town, N. Y. paper we find the following: "Mrs. Frances Van Slyke, of Adams, widow of Jesse M. Van Slyke, a soldier in the war of 1812, late of Antwerp, has been allowed a pension of $8 per month, beginning March 9, 1878, and $ 12 per month from March 19, '89. Her back pension amounts to about $1200. She is totally blind and very old and the pension comes as a very, welcome evidence of the government's remem­ brance of old soldiers' services." Mrs. Van Slyke is mother of J. Van Slyke, Editor of this paper. € A Smoking Set Free. Ten handsome smoking sets are now on exhibition at Besley's drag store, and will be disposed of in the following manner: With every cigar yoti purchase at his store from now until Christmas, you will be presented with a ticket, and the corresponding ticket will be dropped into a box kept by him. On Christmas day this box will be thoroughly shaken up and the first ten tickets drawn out will entitle the holders of the correspond­ ing numbers to one ot the smoking sets free. The first number drawn out will entitle the holder to first choice, second to second choice, etc. This is a novel scheme, dhd gives all ye smokers a chance to get a fine smoking sot fcee. A WORD TO THE WISE. The parties who cut down trees while looking for Bee Trees, and stole and de­ stroyed apples on the premises of John Myers, near Johnsburgh, are known, and if they are wise will call around and set­ tle the matter without further delay. Such deeds oLlawlessness will not be tol­ erated, and it is proposed to enforce the law to its fullest extent. Evanson's shoe sale one week, com­ mencing Monday, Oct. 21st. ATTENTION LADIES.

I NOVEMBER 12-21, 1889. " THE Illinois State Fair just closed at Peoria may be set down as the most suc­ cessful one held in the history of the State Board of Agriculture, in point of exhibit, attendance and receipts. The next great exhibition to be held un­ der the auspices of the State Board of Agriculture is the American Fat and Live Stock, Poultry and Dairy Show, which opens in the Exposition Building, Chicago, Nov. 12, and closes Nov. 2i. There is every reason to believe that the coming Show will eclipse any exhi­ bition Of its character ever seen on this- continent, and surpass the Smithfleld Show, of England, in every respect. The Fat Stock Show has long been recognized by the breeder, feeder and butcher as of more importance to the live stbek in­ terests of the country than all the state and country fairs put together, and should be encouraged by a liberal patron­ age. It is a well established fact that the success of an exhibition, Whether mechan­ ical, agriculture or commercial in its nature, depends largely upon the attend­ ance and interest taken in it by the com­ munity in which it is held. An exhibition may stand par excellence in the quality of ite exhibits and the arrangement there­ of, and still be written down a dismal fail­ ure if the attendance be wanting. Al­ ready eutries haive been made from Canada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, and Texas. The new classification includes breeding rings of all breeds of cattle, and a perfect con­ gress of prize winners will be on exhibi­ tion a,t the coming Show. The State Board of Agriculture are preparing a very interesting programme of special attractions for both afternoon and even­ ing entertainments. A PUBLISHED card thanking their friends for their services in the sickness and death of a relative is decidedly out of taste, and is now followed only in back­ woods counties, If a man's friends can­ not wait on him in sickness and bury him after death, without being publicly thanked-for it, they are very poor friends indeed. Common humanity should teach all people to visit the sick and bury the dead, without an expectation of reward, or a display of gratitude through the columns of a newspaper. AUCTION BALES. F .
