It would be a fine idea to imi­ tate such a town and sell the cigars to the boys, as they are not as poisonous the cigarettes, and it might be well also to investigate the lair and ftbide aomewhat by that. ^ / F. A. PARKER, formerly of the Parker Alouse, in this village, has bought a half f interest in a Restaurant at 273 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, and takes possession of 1 , the same this week.

An obituary will appear in theee columns next week. IT is amnsing to see how science some­ times makes a discovery which has been common projierty with pracbi^l mpu for years. Some one has just found out that all danger from thirsting in consequence of frost is overcome by putting a piece of wood loose in the barrel or vessel. A gen­ eration or more ago this was discovered in the backwoods, and ever since the country people who want to keep their water barrels from bursting, have insert­ ed a thick stick in the water at the ap­ proach of a frost. This saves the ban el as all the bulging will be around the stick or piece of wood.--Harvard HeraJd. ONE of the large stock barns on Mr. R. M. Patrick's stock farm in Riley was dis­ covered on fire by one of the hired men, between three and four o'clock Wednes­ day morning, and such progress had the flames made when discovered, that ho?h^ ing whatever could be saved, and in a short time the barn with all its contents was a smouldering mass of ruins. The barn was 78x86 feet, specially fitted for dairy purposes. It contained the entire dairy of 99 head of cattle, nearly all first class cows, a few heifers, and two or three valuable bulls, 100 tons timothy, 150 tons of ensilage, 30 tons straw, 100 bushels oats, a few tons meal, and some farming tools. Every thing was burned up--nothing whatever saved! The total loss foots up f8,000, on which there is f5,000 insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown.--Marengo Uepubtican. THE local newspaper should be. found in every home. No children should grow up in ignorance who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is the stepping stone of intelligence in all those matters not learned in books. Give your children a foreign paper which contains not one word about any person, place or thing which they ever saw, or perhaps heard of, and how can yon expect them to be interested ? But let them have the home paper and read of persons whom they meet and with whom they are familiar, and soon interest is awakened which increases wijth every arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed; and those people will read the paper all their lives and become intelli­ gent men and women, a credit to their parents, strong in their knowledge of ; mworld as it is today A LITERARY and musical entertainment will be given in the City Hall, on Thurs­ day evening, Jan. loth, 1891, for "the benefit of the MethodistEpiscopalChurch of McHenry.

NICKLE, Teacher. FROM a certain class of writers, we hear a great deal about "The Woman of the Future " . What do we really care about it? As Sir Boyle Roche in one of His speeches said: "What lias posterity done for us that we should do anything for posterity?" The woman of the present is the one that interests us, and in fact is more than average men can menage, to say nothing of some future female. The woman of the present has pretty clear ideas of her own about most things and one of them is that when she selects a husband she selects one who is neatly attired. E.

Nowhere else can be seen such centres of enterprise and American vim as in Chicago or Kansas City, and few invite lovers of elegance and beauty like St. Louis. In going further into the "Great West" there are various routes the tourist may select, but supposing the start is made from Chicago the great starting point of western travel, no line can be found more desirable than the Chicago & Alton, the great "Three Link" route, and its unsurpassed connections.' Elegant cars, courteous train men, a first class track, and every convenience that modern railroading employs is here t'ound for safety and comfort., The coun­ try traversed is unexcelled for beauty of scenery--the vertiblo garden of the conti* nent.
