AN exchange in speaking of the 4th of July celebration says the band "discour­ aged good music." Another speaks of a "magn$cent" case of«scarlet fever, mean- jug malignant, no doubt. ! FABMEKS in this vicinity are busily en- / gaged in caring for their crops and con- I sequently it has been very quiet in town during the past week and business witl) our merchants has been a little dull.

Quails nest and hatch their young from June 1st to 10th. In ^iiany places the nests are flooded and washed away and the eggs destroyed, so that there will be no first crop of these birds. Teal and wood ducks which nest •long the rivers and in swamps, have met with the same fate. The floods also spoiled snipe shooting this season. DB. C. H. FEGEKS, E. W. Howe, John [eimer, Anton Englen and John J. Buch 'have each bought land on the east side of the river, about one mile above the! bridge, and have laid the same out in lots, which we presume will be built upon at an early day. The price paid ranges from two to five hundred dollars per acre. Within the next few years all the avail­ able land on the east bank of the river between here and the Lakes will be oc- v cupied. The price is now rapidly ad- vancing. ABOUT 99 persons out of every hun­ dred that are asked by a news gatherer "What's the news?"' will receive the an- | «wer "Don't know," and these very per- r tons will get as "hot as a little red wagon" if they do not see some item in | the ne±t issue of the paper, which they r knew at the time.

The funniest "Topsy" on earth, the most comical Marks" in existence and the sweetest Eva imaginable. The price of admission is within the reach of all, 25 cents for adults and 15 cents forchildren under 12 years oi age. Remember the date Fri day, July 22nd. Pithy, Pointed and Pertinent. It is. a little queer that the people's party, which expects to get the most of its votes from farmers and mechanics should have put two lawyers on its Na­ tional ticket. The Homestead workingmen were I?v- el-headed enongh to recognize at a glance the difference between the Pinkerton men and the regular militia of the state act­ ing nnder t he orders of the legally con­ stituted State authorities. This may have been disappointing to the lovers of sensation, but it was very gratifying to lovers of law and order. The men who say the protective^ tariff is responsible for the Homestead strike ould, by free trade, make the wages of the American worLingman so low that he could never afford to strike. The English newspapers which profess to believe that the United States is on the eve of establishing free trade will find it the longest night ever seen, which pre­ cedes their predicted morning free trade. Demagogue Weaver thinks & crisis is pending. Yes, it is; but it is in the ca­ reers of Weaver and his kind, and not of the American people. The democratic committee of notifica­ tion thinks so little of Adaei Stevenson that instead of notifying him of his nom­ ination at his house in the customary manner it has sent him word to be in New York on the 20th inst., to be noti­ fied. The committee probably takes its cue from Mr. Cleveland, who until very recently completely ignored Stevenson's nomination. The Illinois man who applied to the New York police to find out who he was, had trouble in convincing the blue-coated Tammanyites that he wasn't the man nominated for Vice President by the Chicago convention. An exchange says "Tammany needs watching." Was there ever a time in history when Tammany didn't need watching? The only legislative work the demo­ cratic House has done has been under a suspension of its silly rules. Why doesn't it suspend the rules permanently? The gentlemen who are working so hard this warm weather to convince themselves that the protective tariff was the cause of the Homestead strike ap­ pear to have overlook9d the only argu­ ment in favor of such a conclusion. If there was no protective tariff we should have no steel mills, no steel-workers, and hence no strikers. We are willing to subscribe to the truthfulness of that ar­ gument, not only as applied to the Homestead steel works, but to all other American manufactories. Cleveland and Weaver have both had some experience in navigating the treacherous waters of salt river. Summer fiction--the editorial columns of the average democratic newspaper. THE SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION. We would again remind our citizens of the meeting to be held at the City Hall to-morrow, Thursday evening, for the purpose of devising some means to bet­ ter our school facilities, and urge upon them the importance of attending the same. To put it mild our school facili­ ties are a disgrace to the town. This, we think, any reasonable man will admit. Men may differ as to the manner of rem edying this matter, and that is just what this meeting is for. To get to­ gether, compare notes, hear suggestions and get at what will be for the best in terest of the entire District. This can only be done by having a fuj) meeting. If you are in favor of having a school building that is adequate to meet the wants of the district, come out and say BO, and suggest, if you can, some means whereby the earns^may be built »od paid for that will be of the least burden to the District. If youWe opposed to all school progression, and have the old foggy idea that what was adequate a hundred years ago, will fill the bill to-day, come out and put yourself on record also, BO that your neighbor may know in the future where to find you. No matter where you stand come out. Remember the time and place. At the City Hall, to-morrow, Thursday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. WANTED.--Girls who can sew neatly either by hand or machine.

As September 4th comes on Sunday this year, and as all the regiments that were camped at Rockford in 1862, will reune there, it was decided to devote the two days, September 5th and 6th to the occasion. A grand good time is antici­ pated, and all surviving members of the 95th are urged to be present. Old sol­ diers generally are cordially invited. All comrades of the 95th regiment are requested on arriving at Rockford at that time to report promptly, and regis­ ter at Nevins Post, G. A. R. Hall. W. W. WOOD, Pres. 95th 111. Re-union As8,n. F.

While there last week, we were surprised to note the signs of im­ provement. The Stove factory, which is one of the largest buildings in the state, is nearly complete.

Eldredge passed through this city last Monday night on his way to Janesville. Frank and Miles Jackman, old time Harvard boys, were here the fore part of the week. They came to attend the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Julius, who was buried Monday. A sad mishap befell John Lang' last Sunday morning. He had purchased a spring chicken for his Sunday dinner and while in the act of decapitating the same the bird became refractory and dug John in the arm with one of its spurs, which was about three inches long. John let1 out a howl at the same time aiming a vicious blow at the head of the strug­ gling fowl. His aim, like democratic free trade arguments, was untrue, and the ax came in to sudden and unexpect ed contact with John's big toe, loosen ing that member from its moorings, and causing a cessation of hostilities. Dr. Paul Rogers who was hastily summoned, pronounced it a clear case of the judg­ ment of heaven on a sinful Sabbath breaker, and afterexamining the ax, and giving John some pointers in regard to the burial of his toe, gave it out as his opinion that no fatalities would follow, either in the bakery or hennery. Mr Lang is resting nicely at this writing, but says he has a pain in the place where that toe used to be every time he hears that rooster croWr and while in hard luck he wont kick, not till his foot gets well at least.

THE Midsummer (August) number of FRANK LESLIE'S POPULAR MONTHLY has an appropriately breezy and outdoor tone throughout. The leading article, "Summer Outing by the Midnight Sun," by Anna M. Reed, is admirably written in this spirit, and occupies fresh fields by describing the voyage to Norway's won­ derful land and the North Cape. In an­ other charming descriptive article "The Tuscan Coast" is visited. This paper, with its rich and profuse illustrations, has a peculiar timeliness, inasmuch as it was off this same Tuscan shore, between Leghorn and Spezzia, that the poet Shelley (the centennial anniversary of whose birth is being celebrated in Eng­ land this summer) was drowned in July 1892. "Some French Women of Let­ ters," including Mme. Adam, Severine, "Gyp," "Carmen Sylva,', Judith Gau- thier, and others, are interestingly char- Heterifcwl by A.rth'ir Horn blow. Other notable illustrated articles are: "Domes, Towers and Spires," by Peter Mcqueen; "Oxford in the Long Vacation," by N. ,f. Metcalfe; "Canalboat Life and the Coal Traffic," by Thomas Murphy; and "Cane Culture," (Notes from Sugarland) by W. Jennings Warrington. A new ser­ ial story, of the detective type, entitled "The Great Chantry Diamonds," by Daniel Dane, begins in this number. 19"The Democratic press say they will make a strong fight this campaign against the "force bill" plank in the Republican platform. We believe that either the negro should be allowed to vote and have his vote counted, or else he should be] disfranchised, and one or the other of these tVo things , will in time be done. The constitution gives him the same rights as a citizen asjit does white man, and until the constitution is amended the South should be compelled if necessary, to leave the ballot free to them at all national elections. The free ballot plank in the Republican platform aims to remedy a great National evil and it should be sustained.--Ex. Zfonoa Lake Assembly.
