I#* The acceptance of bids for carrying ocean mails by American lines marks an­ other step in the policy of patting the American flag on the seas. It will not be many years before the sneer that the •tarry banner is never seen in a foreign port will be out of place.

Thomas shipped two carloads of stock to Chicago on Wedne» Wednesday of last I©"* The New York San is firmly con- . vinced that the election of Roger Q. Mills to be Speaker of the House commits the Democratic pa^ty to the extreme of free trade, and it is equally convinced that It cannot succeed in a national election while occupying that position. Mr. Mills fs a free trader without any reservation. Even British free trade is not pure enough a doctrine for him, but he would abolish all customs duties and collect revenues from an income tax. The Sua is right, ffo party can succeed in this country with Mich ultra ideas to the front. But the Democratic party is too firmly commit­ ted to free trade in some form to get away from it, however uncomfortable some Democrats may find it. MFThe call for the nationl republican Convention, to meet at Minneapolis on 1 June 7 th, is broad and comprehensive. It invites delegates from the republican •lectors in the several states and terri­ tories, and the voters without regard to past political affiliations who believe in republican principles and endorse the re­ publican policy, are invited to unite un­ der this call in the formation of a national ticket. The call well voices the Nutiments of the republican party as an appeal to the support of principles. These principles, which have brought the coun­ try freedom to all within its borders, kept the nation united, and finally in­ sured prosperity at home and the respect of other nations. Its policy has been tried and the people have evidence of its value in the pleasant conditions of their citisenship. The place, Minneapolis, is well chosen. It is central, and it is full of western enthusiasm , and will provide amole accommodations. There were fellowship meetings held at the Congregational church on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, but they were not very largely attended on ac­ count of the weather being unfavorable. Married, Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, at the German Lutheran church, Mr. Albert Wilbrant and Miss Mary Calbow. After the service a reception was given at Father Calbow's. The bride and groom will make Algonquin their home. Albert Strahle started ior Gotham- burg, Neb., on Friday of last week to visit his brothers. He expects to be gone until after Christmas. The fancy Fair and supper given by the ladies of the Congregational church on Friday evening last was a grand success considering the &tate of the weather and the bad roads. Proceeds of the evening. 135.58. Rev. Mr. Hench, of Lee Center, 111., at­ tended the fancy fair herd on Friday evening lqst. We have a new barber shop in town, run by Mine Benthuysen. Sunday last was what we would call a stormy day. The bridge company, who are putting in the new iron bridge for the railroad company here, worked all day in the storin on Sunday last, but did not ac­ complish much. There will be a social held nn Wednes­ day evening of this week, at Mrs. Henry Keyes' under the auspices of the ladies of the Episcopal church. Our Bohemian Tug-of-War team left for Chicago on Monday of this week to take part in the International Tug-of- War, to be held at Battery D this week. We send a good solid team, their average weight being 225 pounds, the heaviest weighing 320 pounds, and there being ei?ht of them in the team, making a weight of 1,800 pounds. It looks as if it would take eight pretty good men to pull theiti. C. E. Chapell shipped a car-load ot stock to Chicago, on Monday of this week. Mr. Sedlacek has the frame up for his new house, but the weather is very un­ favorable for building. The infant child of Mr. T. Kabon has been very sick the past few days. Iff re. Christ. Frank has been confined to her bed for a week with a very serious illness, but is now better and will soon be around again. Charles Horn is laid up with sciatic rheumatism. Little Walter Wenhols has* been on the' sick list for a few days. Mr. Vanderlien, our village tailor, was in bed two days last week with influenza. One of Chas. Gehl's children has been on the sick list during the past week. Dr. Nason reports quite a number of cases of sickness for the past week, but he says they are mainly a mild type of colds, malarial troubles and influenza. Dr. W. A. Nason intends to attend the meeting of the Fox River Medical Associ­ ation at Aurora next Monday. Rev. Dr. Ball, of Elgin, spent last Tues­ day night here, being the guest of Dr. Nason. fe: M&Mahips. In Chicago a lot of six ilMrmld sparrows were rejected because they had been killed on Sunday and Monday. There the city clerk insists upon It that he will give no certificates for sparrows Wiless the person who brings them fills out and swears to the blank affidavit which he furnishes, and he declares that he will not provide a notary. People must go off and find a notary wherever they can and pay his fee. It is to be feared that this will amount to nullifying the law. There will be very little profit m bringing in ten sparrows, getting a certificate for twenty cents, which the v county clerk will not honor until the county board makes an appropriation and paying twenty-five cents cash to a notary. Great trouble is expected, too, from the fact that the affiants will nearly •Abe under age, and that the oath is not binding at all, TO the law has not re­ quired it to be taken. j v The gossip around the sparrow mart ts to the effect that the sparrows are so prolific that slaughtering them will do no good. The department of agriculture fa authority for the statement that the posterity of one female bird in ten years fwnounte to 276,000,000,000 sparrows. According to this .estimate 45 birds, if females, would in ten years, have pro­ duced 12,430,000,000,000 nice sparrows. VOLO. I EDITOB PLAINDKALER E. Richardson transacted business in the city this week. The boys in this neighborhood are all ^ arming themselves with weapons of a deadly nature, and intend joining them- fdves together for mutual protection from their dreaded foe, the English spar­ row. Let the good work go on. Last week Henry Dowell and family shook the mud of Yolo from off their feet, ^and will, in the future, make their home at Waukegan. A. C. Strayer spent Saturday and Sun day at Wauconda. I Barrus has been on the sick list but is improving at time of writing. Lumber has been drawn and carpenters i. have begun work on the German school house. It is reported that Yolo will soon be the possessor of a meat market. That's right, keep the ball a-rolling. Mr. H. Leighton has vacated his old house, and has moved into the resid owned N. Bowers.
