THE sale of the old school buildings, advertised to take place on Saturday last, was only partially successful. The bui lding and lot on the West Side was •old to Henry Smith for $560. The bid on the Brick Building not bong deemed •efficient by the Trustees, the sale was postponed for four weeks. WE have before us a program of the l|pte Park Fair Association, Fon dn Lac, Wis., in which we find that "Ranger H," owned hy George U. Smith, is entered in the 2:20 trot, purse $800, and the 2:24 trot, purse $800. He is one of the most promising horses in this section, and, barring accidents, will make a good showing on this occasion. "MARE what I tell yon," said a Green garden farmer, "the coming season is going to be one of the best crop years we have had in a long time. There will be a big crop of corn and also of oats, and fr«rat,hing that a farmer raises is going to do well. The winter has been favor­ able for big crops, and the spring is com­ ing on just right, I tell you we are going to have big crops all over this year." ; Er. ' | WHUJC the prospects for the future are aot the brightest; while business shows •o material improvement, it is thought that titers are signs of a change for the fatter. The tone of our business men fee* improved. We no longer find any (me as blue as during the closing months of last year. The community as a whole teem to be realizing that something can be done. Despondency like hope com­ municates itself to those around us, a cheery word from one helps another. Spring is here, we are readjusting our- ssivw to changed condition, and while gmfmpi the immediate future is not very TCaamuioc, it is thought that it can aaMy be said that, at least, the wont is We entertain -but the brightest •parity of Mc- I believe that if a itingi last week. was visiting her eon in Chicago on Thursday last.

Mr. Hopkins, tbe head of the Chicago Alarm Watch Company, was present Mid explained what they pro­ posed to do and what they wanted our citizens to do. He was followed by Prof. Hart, another member ,oi the company, who explained the watch they propose to make should they locate their plant here. These gentlemen were followed by severed of our citizens, after which a com­ mittee was appointed to see what could be done towards raising the amount re­ quired and report at another meeting to be called at an early day. We believe there will be no trouble in raising the required amount necessary to secure any legitimate manufacturing institution that may desire or can be prevailed upon to locate here, but it will be necessary to first convince the people that they sure on the right track and then they will go ahead. And this is right. We take it for granted that the committee appointed at the meeting Thursday evening are seeking this infor­ mation, after obtaining which they will _ \ interview our citizens and immediately cannot keep up . , . _ „.and Geo.

Who seconds the motion? V>nce a week for the past three weeks. Mas. G. W. SMITH, of Chicago, was a visitor at the home of Dr. and Mrs. F. E. Pitcher on Monday last. A.

THE Marengo Republican has the following: "At Gilberts Friday, the boiler in the Haeger brick and tile fac­ tory exploded, killing August Tarnow, a young man 20 years of age. It blew the engine honee to atoms and set flre to the factory, which was burned to the ground together with all the factory property. The loss will amount to about $50,000. The day before, a young man, named Ed. Welch, while jumping on a train was thrown under the wheels and had one fpot cut oft and the other terribly crushed. Lots of excitement for a town 4f Gilberts size." AT night the weary old doctor sat and noted as usual, the condition of his patients : the rag man picking up ; the editor rapidly declining?; the dentist may pull through ; the post master must go ; the deaf mute still complaining; the painter more bad signs ; the miser bare­ ly living ; the major rallying ; the cash­ ier gone, the actor on the last stage; the butcher less fat on his bones; the cobler mending; the jail prisoner will soon be out; the lawyer speechless; the two gro-ers on the verge of dissolution ; the musician toning up ; the carpenter improving , Jones boy bad and growing worse; the barber saved by a close shave the banker failing; the boot maker will not last long; the pugilist a striking im­ provement. The Village Election. 1 The village election which is to be held on the 17th inst., is just now attracting considerable attention and promises to/ be a spirited contest. There are two tickets in the field, one headed by W. AJ -Isaac Wentworth. Tbe Trustees are the^ same on both tickets with one exception, while the Clerk is the same on both tick­ ets. The foil owing in the ticket as nomi­ nated at the first Caucus: For President--W. A. Cristy. For Village Clerk--F. L. McOmber. For Trustees--Henry Nordquist, John Neisen, O. N. Owen. The second Caucus Nominate^ Isaac Wentworth for President and Jacob Justea in place of O. N. Owen, B&lf-Man! Half-Horsel "Homo-Esques," tbe world famous half, man, hali-horse, will be seen at the Chicago Clark Street l)ime Museun, for the week commencing April 9th Ainple proof is furnished in the comments of the press and the enormous crowds every­ where attracted, that he is, far and away the most prodigious phenomenon of combined species known since the birth of animal life. The Chicago Daily News says editorially, "that the fabled cen­ turies might readily mistake him for a long-lost brother," and the other papers class bim as a most extraordinary crea­ ture, in whom the human and equine are BO strangely and equally combined, and while he talks, sings, reads and writes like the ordinary man, he is compelled to travel on all fours, and moves, trots and gallops precisely like the horse. i huge attraction at Kohl & Middle- ton's State Street Globe Museum, for the week of April 9th, will : be the "Married Mastodons," a tremendous ti­ tanic couple, representing half a ton of wedded bliss. "OLOMQTO SAXA I will offer my entire stock of Goods, Groceries, BootB and Shoes, Hats, Caps and Notions at actual cost to close. This is positively a closing Sale, and not an advertising dodge. The buy­ ing public win do well to take advantage of thi# opportunity. I JOHN I. STORY. Timothy, Blue Grass, Orchard all other garden and field at8. Stoisi'a. ̂ AND 8TII«I* ANOTBJOU That our boom is a healthy one and increasing is proven by the fact that the committee have now under investigation a Shoe Factory, that have signified their willingness to locate in our midst under certain very reasonable conditions. This is something our citizens are more famil­ iar with and it is hoped that tbe com­ mittee will look into this matter at once and not let it slip from their grasp with­ out a proper investigation. Let no le­ gitimate enterprise escape for want of proper encouragement. By onr next issue we hope to beable to report some definite action in regard to both factories. TOWN KJEBTINGt IN KoHENBT. The Annual Town Meeting in this town on Tuesday proved a regular walk-away for the Peoples Ticket. There was no contest except on Town Clerk and Col-, lector, bnt a good deal of earnest, but good/Tiatared work was done and tbe result proves conclusively that Cleve­ land ism and Altgeldism is having its effect, even in former Democratic towns. There were two tickets, the Peoples and Democratic, and 393 votes were polled, eighteen of which were thrown out for imperfection. The following is the result: TOWN CLEBK. C. H. Granger Frank J. barbian Granger's majority, 7& FOR ASSESSOR. I * Jbhtt Baamann ^1^856 - ^ No opposition, » FOR COLLECTOR. '1. . John H.

A good program was pre- pared and a very enjoyable evening was passed. E. E. Can returned from Quintoh's Corners where he taught a two months term of school, and we hear only good repord of his services, He will engage in painting for a time. School in this village fi progressing nicely and our primary teacher is wining laurels by the fruits of her work. The little folks have improved materially in reading, and we are told in all the branches of study persued by them, or better with which she pursues them. J. V. Buck land, the nurseryman, is doing a very fair trade for the season in trees, shrubs, etc., Give him a call when you need anything in his line, and you wiU have no cause for complaint. Trees cheap mid when you drive in and select your own stock, have it dug, take it home fresh and transplant, all in one day, there is no trouble about its doing Quits an interest to bring manifested in the meetings held here, and quite numerous are the converts. This is no hurrah revival, but an earnest awaken­ ing of the better nature, and will prove a lasting benefit to all, we hope. There is a better nature in us all and when once the desire for a better life is manifest it should be heeded and encouraged. Clyde Harrison, of Chicago, spent a May at his mothers the latter part of ; last week. * Miss Mattie Dwelley's friend are anx­ iously awaiting her return from Chicago hospital where she has been passing the trying ordeal of a surgical operation All are hopeful of beneficial results and will await anxiously her return.

The Saturday evening previous Ed 226 ........... 148 tCTreek of the Gilbert Brlok and * Factory. The boiler in tbe Hager Brick and Tilek Factory, at Gilbert, exploded on Satur-j jaay, March 24, completely destroying, Cristy for President, and the other bjrt /that plant and came near wiping out the! Ti^ £ town by fire. --> "FlFemen August Tarnow, 90 years old, was in the engine-room when the explo­ sion occurred, Engineer Richard Ludwig having stepped out five minutes'before, and his, (Tarnow's) body was a little later found lying against the walls covered with rubbish. A 100-pound weight was driven through a solid brick wall and thrown fully 100 feet over the kilns. v > ext to the boiler which exploded was another of abo"t equal size bricked. It has has not been in use for some time. This boiler was driven bodily through tbe brick wall and left in a mass out­ side the building. A beam weighing many pounds was found in the middle of a field several hundred feet away. Im­ mediately after the explosion a fierce fire broke out, and, fanned by tbe strong wind, spread with rapidity. The tile plant included a two-story brick factory covering an acre or more. This was quickly consumed. Only the most heroic work and help from neighboring towns saved the village. The loss will reach $50,000, while the insurance to about $10,000. Particular Notlcti 'AH persons indebted to Geo. G. Smith of the firm of Smith & Son, for coal and feed, are hereby requested to settle for same immediately and without further notice.

S , have a vacancy in this section. Write them at Chicago, 111., for their terms. 38m3 Remember we do by far the largest in­ surance business in the county and take good care of your property in the best companies. Dodge (he threatened annih; ivk«^;;^E himm publication was given the mattMr, but we are going to publish in the interest# of the sporting world and take the eon- sequences) had brought home a fine ten pound specimen of the canadensis. That's the weight because he took it to the store to weigh it. He didn't take tbe goose there to show off as some en­ vious hunter may surmise, but because he wanted to know just how many to ask to help eat it. There were two sets ot scales at home, but--well, they didn't weigh right, so he took it to the store and the weight is beyond dispute. It was fat, tender and so tempting that we ate and ate, and it may have been partly owing to that last ate that our literary taste was so disorganized that the PLAINDEAI KK was neglected last week. Now hunters will ask how did be do it? I had thought I wouldn't tell; but I will. He knew where the flock had alighted for forage and taking his favorite steed, black like Sheridans, walked beside him being hidden from the flock till in good range; he then halted stepped in front of the horse, started the flock and fired both barrels at once into their midst. Two of the flock at once showed signs of beina: wounded and Ed. watched eagerly the course taken and the maneuvers of the flock to keep them along. Finally all again alighted about sixty rods dis­ tant and here again it is reported that Ed. thought he'd bagged the whole flock and secretly wished that he had driven to tbe field so he could have drawn the whole wagon full home; but this isn't so; be knew all the time wbat was up, but an intervening fence forbade the further nse of the horse so be was unable to get another shot at any fair range. He accordingly did what anv one would have done, took the one he bad succeeded in stopping and came home the same unobtrusive quiet young man be always has been, did bis usual chores and re­ tired, and slept all night as usual.
