The above from the Track Notes of the Chicago Inter-Ocean may be of interest to doubters. / THE Boarding House of Miss Curly Parker had a narrow escape from fire on Thursday last.

THE wise men with telescopes in hand, in the dome of the Lick observatory, on a high California mountain, think they have discovered snow caps on the moun­ tain ranges of the moon. From this al­ leged discovery an atmosphere is de­ duced. Atmosphere! How in the name of General Scott could the man in the moon so long have existed without breathing? What ninnies wise man are! THIS idea which some people possess that the public is easy to be humbugged is a very good one until it is tried, says Edward W. Bok, in the Ladies' Home Journal. However clever we may think we are ourselves, there is always some allowance to be made for the truth that God gave some brains to some one else, and that "some one else" may, just as likely as not, be the verypne w|u>jBi,you are trying to humbug, f News has just been received here of the death of Edwin Griswold, at his home in Jackson, Tennessee, which occurred Aug­ ust 24th. Mr. Griswold was an old and highly respected citizen of McHenry where he lived for many years, but moved to Tennessee a few years ago. His many friends here extend sympathy to the be­ reaved family in their hour of sorrow. HARRY G.

YOU'D scarce expect one of my age in merchandise to engage and hope to get a paying trade without the local paper's aid. Yet I did that very thing. I opened up a store last spring. This month the sheriff took my stock and sold it from tbe auction block. Don't view me with a scornful eye, but simply say as I pass by: "There goes a fool who seems to think he has no use for printer's ink." There is a truth as broad as earth, and business men should know its worth. 'Tis simply this: The public buys Its goods from those who advertise.--A Business Man's Experience. Furohaeine Agent. A. S.

Great excitement was caused yesterday by the report of the arrest of a leading financier. At headquarters it was ad mitted that there had been an arrest, but the detectives refused to give any further information beyond saying that they had been working on the case for weeks, and were satisfied that the right party had been captured. Tbe amount in­ volved is said to be over four million dollars. They further informed the re­ porter that the full particulars of this startling affair were given in "Old Sleuth, the Detective," issued to-day as No. 2 of The Calumet Series. Any will gladly show you a copy. Surgeons sponges etc., at J. A. Story's. SERVICES at the I niversalist church every Sunday, at 10:30 a. m. For new, stylish and well made ladies', misses, and children's cloaks, wraps, jackets, sacques, etc., in plush, diagonal, beaver, etc., go to Simon Stoffel's. BOTH prisoners who escaped from the Woodstock jail iu May last, have now been captured. The following particu- las of t he capture of the last, one we ttnd in the Sycamore Republican : Two Sycamore boys, Willie Whalea and Will Allen, were out peddling watermel­ ons on Monday. At a farmiioiiHi! Willie caught night of a uiau whom he •^'cog­ nized as a former occupant of the Syca- moi e jail. He was working for a farmer there aud weut by the name of Jim Smith. Willie <wid nothing at the time but upon returning toSyeaniore inquired if there was a reward offered for the tel- IOW'H capture and informed other officers of his discovery. Sheriff Ostrander and Frank Smith went out on Wednesday and captured the fugitive from justice. He is .lames Russell, alias James O'Brien, alias .Tohn Carroll, alias Jim Smith. Last summer a man who called himself Jim O'Brien was arrested in Sycamore for the theft of a tub of butter. He was convicted and sentenced to a term of six months in the county jail. At the expi­ ration of his term Sheriff Holcomb was in need of a turnkey, and O'Brien having behaved well and being otherwise compe­ tent he was given the place. A week or two after Sheriff Ostrander came into office O'Brien's services were dispensed with. He then went to work for one of the Browns at Genoa, but left suddenly. The next heard of him was in McHenry county where he had been lodged in jail for the crime of rape. He and another prisoner pried the bars apart with a piece of gaspipe, and made their escape in the latter part of last May. A reward of $200 was offered for O'Brien's capture, and though he had evidently been in this vicinity ever since the escape, no trace of him had been discovered until Willie Whalen espied him on Monday. Sheriff Ostrander returned the prisoner to the Woodstock jail. IVMrs. Helen M. Gougar, the nrtted temperance speaker, said the other day she expected to live to see the Republican party in its grave. What a subject she will be for another Rider Haggard to write upon! The difference will be that, unlike the creature of his imaginative brain, the new "She" will not wear the appearance of youth and baauty upon her two thousand years old carcase. The Republican party has accomplished much for the good of the country and of hu­ manity, but it still has upon its shoulders the responsible task of preventing some other party from tearing down tbe glorious structure it has built. It will live and be performing good works long after the Gougars and St. Johns and other one-idea individuals have mold- ered away and joined their kindred dust. (^T*In this age of wonders no one is astonished and nothing seems impossi­ ble. Still .some incredulity is shown when it is claimed that man can to a cer­ tain extent command the elements. What appear to be authentic reports state that the party sent out by this government under charge of Gen. R. G. Dyrenforth has succeeded iu making it rain at will. The General has long been convinced from observing rain fall in arid regions where blasting was going on, that the rain was due to the concussions. Desiring to test the theory the govern­ ment appropriated f9,000. The experi­ ments have been tried in arid regions in the West, and with astonishing success if reports be true. Balloons and kites were sent up bearing bombs which exploded at a given heigth, and these explosions were soon followed by torrents of rain that fell over a large region from what bad been before a clear sky. Thousands of acres are to-day wastes through lack of water, and only need this treatment to make them fruitful. How practical the results, aud what effect on the rain pro­ duct elsewhere if a systematic manufac­ ture of rain in arid places were to be made, is not known, but the matter will bear thorough investigation. Honest Profits. & farmer who buys a colt for $30, And after raising aud training Jt aells it for f 150 makes his profit honestly, and is complimented for bis business sagacity; but a man who pays, a million dollars for an unprofitable railroad, and by good management makes it pay and sells it for two million is called a monopolist. Why is not one transaction as honest and legitimate as another? The sice of the transaction does not change its eharacter. There ought to be some dis­ crimination in criticisms of men who make money. Those who create or dis­ cover wealth deserve credit, not abuse, for it. It is only the rich who grow rich because others grow poor, that should be denounced. Men who develop the stores of nature, or invent useful machines, or make great and valuable discoveries are public benefactors and the world ought to be glad to see them richly rewarded.

Among the arrivals atone of the hotels yesterday in Saratoga were two stylishly dressed and beautiful young girls accom­ panied by an elderly lady and three servants. They registered from Balti­ more, and it was learned that they were reigning belles in that city. The eldest sister had just entered her twentieth year. Her friends tendered her a delightful reception, and she was the recipient of many unique and costly gifts. Her fiance arrived upon the brilliant scene driving a pair of perfectly matched cream colored ponies, handling cream reins with gold buckles, and attached to a cream colored dog cart with gold trim­ mings elaborately mounted. These he presented to the lady of his choice; and at an early hour the following day the chief designer of AW York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar received a message from tbe ladies to produce with­ in the next five days four pale cream In­ dia silk dresses of the same tint as that of the gold-tipped dog-cart. The propri­ etor of the New York and Paris Young; Ladies' Fashion Bazar will spare no pains to make these natty driving costumes the most showy and gorgeous of the season. The design which struck their fancy was that shown in Fig. 5 of the September number of the AW York and Paris Young Ladies' Fashion Bazar. But where that dress is designed in pink, their dresses are to be finished in pale ecru. The frill on the sleeves of Fig. 5 will be jauntily looped up with real pearls set in gold buckles.
