Last week Marshal Holmes removed the seats from the Park, and some par­ ties are making a great howl in conse­ quence. The facts are a lot of hoodlums have been making the park a rendezvous for their nightly orgies, and not only dis­ turbing the citizens of that vicinity, but damaging the seats and othes property in the Park. The Marshal has done right in this matter only he should have gone a step farther and arrested the offenders and had them punished for their mis­ deeds. All good citizens would uphold himjn this action. While the financial stringency has a jad effect on business in general, it has a redeeming feature or two that is worthy of notice. When things get close in the financial world a great many persons learn lessons in economy that are not only of benefit to themselves, but to their country as well. There are a great many who never stop to think about* the day when they must pay an obligation, but go on in a system of getting 'credit until they are beyond their depth and then cornos the worry of paying. Credit in the financial and business world is an essential feature of commercial dealing but is many times abused. According to the Elgin Courier they have a reformer in that city will be a strong rival of Keeley in the near fu ture. The Courier says: "A man in this city who is interested in taesmerism has engaged the attention of a young man who has been in the habit of getting full of whisky. He tried his skill on hi in and succeeded so far as to make him appear at places at appointed hours. He put him under the influence one day and gave him a lecture on temperance. Since that time the young man has kept sober. He informed ,his master spirit a few days since that he was afraid to touch liquor now for some reason unknown to him­ self." ; All sorts of traveling frauds are now on the road, the number having been in creased by the hard times, which has driven out into the country many who during good times live on their wits in cities. The latest instance that has come to our attention is an Iowa farmer's sup­ ply house, which sends its agents around the country to sell for f 125 a township right for the sale of its goods, including a certain fence machine. In other words the farmer who is fool enough to pay $125 under this contract is paying that amount simply for the privilege of acting as agent for the firm in question. Now as most dealers and manufacturers are glad enough to get agents it must be a very simple farmer who will pay $125 for a privilege that any reputable -can cern will give him for nothing. The fools are not all dead yet, evidently. Talk. * traits," "All I AlsoatiSe Mane tim« and place W. Morgan and Miss Ella I.

RAMBLER, in Elgin Every Saturday makes the following sensible remarks: The metropolitan newspapers are now publishing pictures of the window where the light of day first stole in upon the Cleveland infant. I have also seen pic­ tures of the embroidery pattern on the baby's blanket, and the f»iano lamp that illuminated the infant's first evening on earth. If this is not insufferable imbe­ cility, what in the name of Democracy and hard times is it? And this is from he great journals which claim to be olders of public thought." v "Centervill|!," John Heimer's trot­ ting colt, sired by George 0, made an ex­ cellent showing at Waukesha last week, and more remarkable when we consider that this was the first time he ever trot­ ted in a race. On Wednesday he was entered in the three minute class, and won second money, taking one heat in 2:36, and in the last heat lapped the win­ ning horse out in 2:32. On Friday he was in - the 2:40 class, and took third money. In this race he also took one heat way down close to thirty, but for some cau'se was set back. That he is a worthy son of a noble sire is surely prov­ en by his first performance, and we pre­ dict will make a mark below thirty before the season is over. THE Chicago Herald of Tuesday of last week said that "Judge B. N. Smith, of Los Angeles, Cal., was severely injured by an electric car yesterday afternoon at Sixty-first street and Rhodes avenue. Two cars were approaching from oppo­ site directions, but Mr. Smith thought he would be able to board the east-bound car before the Other arrived. He was caught between the two and dragged some distance. He received a severe cut on the forehead, his left leg was fractured and five ribs on his left side were broken. Judge Smith was 54 and was visiting the Fair. He was taken to Mercy hospital." Judge Smith formerly resided at Wood- and his many friends throughout the county hope for his speedy recovery. . want Is a good square look in the face. Once in a hundred times I may mistake the head, bnt not oftener than that I believe. It doesn't require an expert to read horses' faces either. A person who has never handled a horse can saunter down Broadway any afternoon and point ont the good, docile, family carriage horse, the biting horse, the treacherous animal, the one likely to kick or run at any moment, or the proud, 'high spirited horse, that may be dangerous and yet not vicious in the least. The kicking horse can nearly always be singled out by the vicious gleam in his eye, which stamps him a born kicker. Of all horses, though, the most miserable-looking horse attracts the most attention. This is the horse persecuted by the check-rein. Like women and men who wear shoes a j|»o amall K; sltQwg fKo V»«jfworfj oirj_ deuces of his misery. Many good nat- nred horses, horsemen say, have been made fretful and vicious by being inslav- ed by the infamons and cruel check-rein. There are horses broken down by long and continuous service for man, which show sad facial expression. These may be found hitched to drays around town, to rickety wagons of peddlers and rag pickers, and occasionally to the wagons of contractors and teamsters. Once, perhaps, they were full of the buoyancy of youth, but constant drudgery has made them mere tools, barely animals." --Sporting World. A for the six months October oaks dinner.

Ilw2 IThe Saoredness ofSeveit" A writer in the Agricultural Imple­ ment has been studying over the mys­ tical number seven, and concludes that it is undoubtedly the sacred number. There are seven days of creation; after seven day's respite the flood came; the years of famine and plenty were in cycles of seven; every seventh day was a Sab­ bath, every seventh year is a Sabbath of rest; after each seven times seven years came the jubilee; the feast of unleavened bread and the tabernacles were observed seven days; the golden candlestick had seven branches; seven priests with seven trumpets surrounded Jericho seven times and seven times the seventh day; Jacob obtained his wives by servitudes of seven years; Samson kept his' nuptials seven days, and on the seventh day he put a riddle to his wife, and he was bound with seven green withes and seven locks of his hair were shaved off; Nebuchadnezzar was seven years a beast; Shadrach and his two companions were cast into a fur­ nace heated seven times more than it was wont. In the New Testament nearly everything occurs by sevens, and at the end of the sacred volume we read of seven churches, seven candlesticks, seven spirits, seven trumpets, seven seals, seven stars, seven thunders, seven vials, seven plagues, seven angels, and a seven- headed monster. >["i: Beal Bstate Transfers, , "ttecorded up to and including Sept. 9.

Frank Ward. Chicago, Sept. 18,1803. Editok Plaindealeh.--As is known to many, Mrs. Frank Ward has been suffering for the past two years with Tumor and all medical aid seemed of no avail. Her friends had given up all hopts of her recovery, but by earnest solicitations she came to this city and went to the Presbyterian Hospital, under the care of Dr. A. B. Hamilton, and his able assistant, Dr. Parks, to have an operation performed! On the 10th of this month they removed a Tumor weighing 82 pounds, and the patient is convalescing as rapidly as could be ex­ pected. Great praise is due Doctor Hamilton and his assistant for the skill­ ful manner in which they have handled this case. Mrs. Ward is a daughter of Mrs. Mary Kearns, formerly of McHenry.

It was a serious case, and after doing what he could for the patient Dr. Barber called his employer aside and said: "Well, your hired man can't get over this. He'll probably be dead before morning. It's a very contagious disease, too, he's got; so yoa ought to get him buried as soon as yon can. I advise yon to go and dig his grave right away, and as soon as he is dead bury him." Dr Barber took his departure, and the far mer dug the grave. But the patient re­ covered. It was very unprofessional for him to do this under the circumstances; but he didn't die and that grave became & subject of a great deal of talk. Dr. Barber was continually bearing of it Sons© months later a brother physician died, and the local physicians met to de­ cide what should be done. He had come from Canada, and it was supposed that perhaps his Canadian friends might want him buried in the dominion. "We might inter him temporarily," observed one of the physicians, with a glance at Dr. Barber. " I understand that our brother here has a vacant grave on hand." "Yes," replied Dr. Barber, " I suppose I'm the only doctor here who hasn't got all his graves full."--Harpefs Bazar. Standard Filly with foal to George O FOR SALE.

"A gentleman by the name of Thack« eray, who onoe wrote some books," de­ fines a gentleman as "one having high aims." Judged by this standard, my chappy friend, "where are we?" Most of us are absorbed in a desire to wear good clothes, to own horses or boats, to go to races and bet, to drink all the new combinations of abominable stuffs, to go to comic opera and get up an affair with a chorus girl. These are our "high aims." Heaven save the markl I know of a man who the other night robed him­ self in a flowing silk and did a serpentine dance. Fancy it--a man I Truly this is the day of vaudeville. We find the bone­ less man more interesting than Hamlet, and we prefer "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay" la­ dies to the tragedienne. Our pianos are loaded with concert hall classics of the "Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow Wow" order. To have the honor of the ac­ quaintance of one of the painted ladies of the ballet is to occupy a position of enviable distinction, and to be a real "stage door Johnny" is better than to be the writer of many books. Dear Mr. Thackeray, you really must have been mistaken about those "high aims." We are quite sure we are all gentlemen, and you know you really couldn't call our aspirations and long­ ings "high aims." Let me plaeo you right. The true gentleman is he who wears the most swagger clothes, who talks in the most exaggerated way, who can drink and bet and swear, who can most recklessly squander his (or some­ body else's) money, and whose intimate associates are the ladies of the chorus and the gentlemen of the turf. Oh, yes, Mr. Thackeray, you were quite wrong, or else v:-) are. Which?--Harper's Bar r :- * The Peanat Industry. The "goober" industry of Norfolk is unique. Here is a little city in Virginia that has become the greatest distribut­ ing center of peanuts in the world. A peanut is a pretty small item, but an an­ nual crop of something like 5,000,00)? bushels, worth millions of dollar* makes a pretty big item. The demand for goobers has doubled within the last five years, and the iup- ply does not yet fill the growing demand. Few people know the curious uses to which the goober has been pnt in trade quite of late years. No other single plant raised in this country is ased in so many different ways. The Chinese say the cocoanut palm has as iaany useful properties as there are day* in the year. The goober is not so universal as that, but it has as many valuable qualities as there are days in the veek. The solid part of the nut is peculiarly nutritive and supplies fruit and food for many a family. The vines make fine fodder, some say as good as clover hay, while hogs fatten on what is left in the fields after the crop has been gathered.--New Yesk Independent. _ SkUo* •Th* Rant lis Sfcrai, on ths premiums, 8 miles West from McHenry Depot, on Wednesday, OCT. 4th, 1893, commencing at 9 o'clock A.

OhS of the interesting results of the recent experiments in England in photo­ graphing flying bullets has been to show that the disturbance in the air travels faster than the bullet itself. ^ The photographs exhibit air waves an advance of the bullets, even when the latter are moving faster than the veloc­ ity of sound. In one case where the bullet was mov­ ing considerably faster than sound trav­ els in the air it was preceded by an at­ mospheric disturbance which, at the moment the photograph was taken, was hn.1f an inch in advance of the point of the bullet. Even when the bullets were traveling four times as fast as sound the atmospheric disturbance kept ahead of them.--Youth's Cam^anicm.. it--"perfection." itch Hazel Salve, the others. ®\j/£ rr There are none better and <mn be found at no other store in this town.
