At Springfield, Judge Creighton of the Circuit Court rendered a decision in the suits brought by Blair, Populist, va. Henrichsen, Secretary of State, to test the constitutionality of the Sena­ torial apportionment of 1882 and 1893. Two suits were commenced--one a peti­ tion for mandamus and the other a bill in chancery asking an injunction. Their purpose "was identical, and the •decision rendered covers both cases. Judge Creighton holds that the acts of 1872 and lb«2 were both constitutional. He declares, moreover, that in his opinion the act of 1893 is constitutional •and is now in force. Fatally InJare<1 in a Rnnswar. Near Peoria a team Henry Haines was driving took fright at a raised um­ brella and became unmanageable. They ran over a cart containing Mr. and Mrs. James A. Harris, and a com­ plete wreck wai the result. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were thrown out and trampled under foot and their, horse knocked down. The runaways contin­ ued on for a few blocks and finally dumped Mr. and. Mrs. Harris over a steep embankment. Mr. Harris will •die. * Krtward !>.

It was ascertained later that the report was not true. Mr. Poston was engaged in cleaning a revolver when it was accidentally discharged, and the ball passed into his lelt lunar. Although desperately wounded there is a chance that he may recover. Kngllshmen After the Elgin Plant. ' A representative of an English syn­ dicate has offered $7,000,000 for the plant of the Hgin National Watch Company, and President Avery noti­ fied the stockholders that three-fourths of the owners of stock have agreed to cell. The syndicate is probably the same that a few years ago offered $8,- 009,00J for the plants which was then rejected. ' Good Condition or Illinois Itanta.

The average ca?h reserve held by the ;i jbaitks is 43 per cent. DtM of Fright In a Baggy- . ' Mrs. Kendall, wife of Dr. W. Kendall, of Quincy, was driving and the horse ran away. She turned the animal into a fence, but died of fright on the buggy seat before help reached her. The horse, after Mrs. Kendall s body had been removed from the bugery, ran away again.

Mrs. Bridgewater, who lives at Walkerville, says that she recognizes the body as that of Mrs. Lovess, who was her neighbor sixty years ago, when there were few settlers in that part of Illinois. She was a beautiful woman and one of the land seekers paid her a great deal of attention. Her husband in a fit of jealous rage left her and after his departure their cabin caught tire and was burned. It was thought that Mrs. Lovess was cre­ mated. A DECISION was rendered at Mar­ shall by the County C urt which de­ prives all the townships inClarkCqun- ty of township funds for the next year. The levy of town tax ha? been hereto­ fore made by the board of town audit­ ors at the September meeting, and certified to the County Clerk. A rail­ road enjoined the collection of this tax on account of the levy being illegal. The court held that under the statute and recent decisions of the Supreme Court the levy should be made at the annual town meeting which is held in April. The objections were sustained and last year's taxes cannot be collect­ ed, and it is too late to make a levy for next year s taxes. The wisest heads have Deen unab'e to suggest a remedy, and it now looks as if town expenses will stop for a year at least. THE Populfsts in State convention at SpringSeld nominated the following ticket: For State Treasurer, Jchn Randolph; for Superintendent of Pub­ lic Instruction, Miss Lavina Roberts; for Trustees University of Illinois, John C. Tanquary, T. B. Kenoport, H. M. Gilbert. There were 125 delegates in attendance, in the main farmers, but there was a i-mall but very active contingent of socialists and labor men. The committee on reso utions sat with closed doors, and it was not until the night session that it was prepared to report. The struggle was for the most part over the plank in the platform of the Federation of Labor known as the socialist plank. It declares for "the collective ownership by the people of all means of production and distribu­ tion. " This was debated at great length, and was finally defeated, but the other demands of the labor people were acceded to. Colonel S. B. King, of Kar^a^ City, author of "Bread Win­ ners and Bondholders." "Seedtime and Harvest," and perhaps other publica­ tions which deal with economic ques­ tions,'made the principal s( eech of the day. He made a temperate and, from an anti-monopoly, free-silver, and anti- protection standpoint, an exoellent speech. A VICINITY on the boundary line be­ tween Sheldon and Belmont Town­ ships, eight miles southeast of Wat- seka. was the scene of an attempted murder for purposes of robbery ao an early hour Wednesday morning, and a few hours later of an attempted sui­ cide by the man to whom suspicion points as being the would-le robber and murderer. Stokes Hellings, a well-to-do bachelor, living alone on his farm, retired at 9 o'clock with no thought of being disturbed by bullets. At 2 30 o'clock a. m. his bed chamber was entered by an unknown man, who placed a revolver to the right side of the lace of the sleeper and Lred. The bullet plowed its way through flesh, but was turned from its course and came out of Hellings' neck without inflict­ ing a necessarily fatal wound. He started to rise. The murderer, who stood by his bedside, determined to end his life, fired again. 'Ihis time the billet was fired at his body. The bu'» let penetrated the bedding and Hill­ ings clothing, carrying with it frag­ ments of cloth, which arrested its force and prevented fatal lesults. As this shot was fired the assaulted man uttered a loud scream, which apparent­ ly unnerved his assailant, who fled from the tcene. Wounded and bleed­ ing, with his flesh burned with powder, Hel insrs arose, secured il( 0 he had in the house and groped his way through the darkness to the home of W. C. Baxter, his brother-in-law, nearly a half mile distant. The family and neighbors were aroused. Pursuit re­ sulted in the capture of John Zumwalt, of Chicago, but not until he had cut his throat, inflicting a probably fatal wound. THE Indiana and Illinois Southern Railroad Company, by President P. H. Blue, has filed with the Rail re ad and Warehouse Commission a statement showing the road's compliance with the recent order of the commission to place 't in good condition.

The defeat of this scheme of corruption and treason will be the signal- for the restoration of American prosperity.-- New York Press. " A Present Doty. Republicans in every part of the United States have an urgent duty to perform, and they should take the in­ itial steps toward its performance now. That duty is to thoroughly organ ze the party s strength, so that every pos­ sible influence can be brought to bear in the Congressional elections next fall. Not a sintrle vote that might be eecured should be lost. The Democratic party seems at the pre ent time to be completely demoral­ ised, and many con-er^tive men be­ lieve that a Republican victory is al­ ready assured. Butover-contidence is a dangerous thing, and because of it the Republicans have lost important political battles in the past. The De­ mocracy has the happy faculty of unit­ ing its forces ju-t before great elec tions, and because its leaders devote their best energies toward securing a perfect organization they have small loss of life from accidents dur­ ing the past year. Further time for completion of improvements was granted by the commission. GEORGE WASHINGTON BARNARD, physical director of the Freeport Youn/ Men's Christian Association, anl Miss Jennie Aurand ran aw^y to Chicago and were married. IT was said that B. H. Wares, living north of Rockfori on the Cleveland farm, had been kicked by a cow and seriously injured. A doctor was called, but on his arrival the patient was un­ conscious, and died soon after. There was no sign of injury on his body, and it is thought to be a ease of suicide. His brotoer-in-law killed himself at the same house two weeks ago. Ev­ erything on the place belonged to Cleveland, and was to have been taken SUGAR BOUNTY CONTRACT PROTECT w £.* TARIFF ACT *HE SOUTH SEEKS IKOTECLT6K-Amerfcan tc. familiar features of national of Grover Cleveland. Statistics show­ ing the cesration of production, the depreciation of values, and the reduc­ tion of wages are,-not needed to impress the situation upon the people. Experi­ ence has driveh the lesion home in ev­ ery community and every household. From the new commonwealths that look out upon the Pacific to the long- established Eastern States whose soil was trodden by the feet of the Pil­ grims two centuries and a half ago, from the. border line of Canada to the sheep ranches of Texas, the depres­ sion of every fcrm of business, the stagnation of every kind of industry, and the gradual confiscation of the property of American citizens have been tne fa life. With incalculable resources which are only beginning to be unlocked; with seventy millions of the most en­ lightened, industrious and progressive people on earth; with the most com­ prehensive and perfect equipment for manufacturing in existence, the Unit* ed States has steadily grown poorer for the past fourteen months. The achievement of the American people in providing- for the enormus expendi­ ture required for the suppression of the rebellion has excited the wonder of foreign statesmen and aroused the admiration of foreign economists. Yet the pecuniary loss of the last few months is greater than the three thou­ sand millions of the national debt which was piled upon the shoulders of the nation by the most gigantic civil war on record. The mighty contest which convulsed the country for four years was less expensive in dollars and cents than the misrule of Grover Cleveland and the Democratic party for a year and a quarter. There is no danger that the people will forget these things. They have been branded on mind and heart too deeply to be effaced. But it is essen­ tial that their full import should be constantly borne in mind by Northern Senators at Wa-hington. The people of the North have gone to the polls and demanded by overwhelming ma­ jorities that protection should be up­ held and prosperity restored. They have demanded that the McKinley law shall be maintained. They have de­ clared with ominous emphasis ths.t no Northern Senator who fails to oppose the Democratic scheme of treason and spoliation can look for honor or prefer­ ment at their hands. Never in the an­ nals of this republic has the will of the nation been more unmistakably ex­ pressed at the ba lot-box. Never have the commands of the voters been m ite explicit or more imperative. Never has the path of honor, of duty and of patriotism been made more plain for the elected representatives of the American people. The tariff bill now before the Senate would be ridiculous if it were not de­ testable and contemptible if it were not dangerous. The very men who support it under the party lash despise it. The leading Democratic newspa­ pers of the country brand it as the product of corruption and tre ichery. An open free trade bill would at lea t be intelligible. A bill putting all raw materials on the free list would at least be consistent. Both would be perni­ cious and destructive. Both would de­ serve and receive solid Republican op­ position. But the nondescript com­ pound of barter and sectional revenge --the fourth or fifth in the succession of tariff bills brought forward by the Democratic managers in the last six months--has not even the merit of consistency. It bears the fame rela­ tion to an avowed frea trade measure which the sneaking guerrillas who fought from ambush and whtse sole object was plunder, bore to the Con­ federate ermies who faced the soldiers of the North in the open field, guerrillas received no Quarter, guerrilla bill for the destruction of Northern industries desei ves none. The Bourbon measure jealously de­ fends Southern interests and strikes a malignant blow at the prosperity of the North. Its sugar schedules are exam- p'es of shamel'ss robbery. It dooms the va-t wool-growing industry of the North and West to absolute extermina­ tion. destroys the Northern beat sugar industry, the Northern lumber inuustry, and the Northern salt indus­ try. ft cripples ..the great woolen manufacturing interests of the North aud makes a wholesale reduction of wages to the foreign standard inevit­ able if it shall pass. It undermines American industrial independence and treacherously opens the gates at a hundred points to foreign pauper com­ petition. Outrageous as it is, there is _ .1, times been able to win victories which the Republicans were confident would fall to their lot, and which they would have won had they displayed half as much energy as the Democrats did. The best plan cf organization is to form Republican clubs in every city, town and village, of which every mem­ ber should te an acti. e and earne worker. There are such clubs in many of the larger places, but no field t-hould be left uncovered. Where clubs al ready exist no effort should be spared to increase their membership. These clubs exert a remarkable influence up­ on the communities in which they are organized. They serve to d;ssemmate political information, and to keep alive the vital issues of the campaign. The Dempcrats use their club headquarters to thk t:est possible advantage, as is shown by the compactness of the Tarn many organization in New York. There are such headquarters in ever Assembly district, and in fact, in a] most every election di^t let in the city. The result is that Tammany is able to figure upon the exact voting strength of the organization at all times. Too much value cannot be placed upon the club plan of organisation this year, nor can the importance of the coming elections be exaggerated. }t is absolute y necessary that the Re­ publicans should secure a majority in the next National House of Represen­ tatives. The industries of the nation are at stake. Now is the time to begin the campaign. Delays are always dan­ gerous, and never more so than when in the presence of an active, deter­ mined and malignant enemy. If active agitation is begun at this stage, the result will be that the primaries will be well attended, the best meu will be sent as delegate s to the nominating conventions, and the strongest po sible candidates chosen. The proper me­ dium for agitation is the local club or- gani nations. If the Republicans had been as thor­ oughly organized as the Democrats in 1892, we would, in all robability. have won that election and have been spared the awful depression and distress that have followed the Democratic victory. Remember that, Republican voters, and be on your guard! Organize, ana do it now! Knnckltng Dow# to Germany. It is telegraphed from Berlin that the Germans ave charmed with Secre­ tary Gresham'ri recent utte ances on' the Samoan question. His letter to the President on this matter is interpreted in Berlin to mcaa that the Cleveland administration would not object to a German protectorate over the islands, which, of course, would mean their final swallowing up completely by Ger­ many. It is not pleasing to read sueh news in the foreign dispatches, but neither is it surprising. It seems to be the firm purpose* of this administra­ tion to give up all our rights in the Pacific and Samoa, and our coaling sta­ tion at Pago Pago Bay will have to go with the rest of what might sutler under the prejudice of being Ameri­ can.

The printed report of the committee consists of five printed pages, some of it being quotations from tnat part qf the testimony where answers were re­ fused. The committee states that it over­ ruled the objections to Judge Ditten- hoeffer, Edwards' counsel, and insisted upon an answer to the questions. These questions sought to ascertain the authority for the statement that Carlisle signified his willingness him­ self to prepare an amendment to the ragar schedule which he thought would be fair to the Government and yet just to. his interests: who gave* the information concerning the alleged interviews between officers of the suga" trust, Mr. Havemeyer, Sen ator Brice, and Senator Smith who was his informant that, on the day Mr. Voorhees denied any amend­ ments were proposed to the bill, a& originallv rep r ed to the Senite, thr, list of -iO^ amendments, as prepare! by ^senator Jon;s, was in the hands of the brokerage firm of Moore & Schley; that the draft of the sugar schedule, as finally adopted as a result of a con­ ference between Senator Caffery and representative.* of the* trust, meeting in one room of the Capital Building, while the committee was in section in another. All of these questions, the 00m- mittee say, Edwards, acting upon the advice of his counsel, refused to vmwer. . Refusal Was *n Illegality.

The whist club re oices to meet at her house; the home comings from the theater is almost as full of pleasant anticipation as going to the play,says the New York Advertiser. Apd all because she knows how to arraagd fcn appetizing repast. She must learn at an early date that men, most ot them, like rather strongly flavored things They pre­ fer Roquefort to N uefchatel cheese; they like a dash of mustard, a sug­ gestion of cayenne in their sand­ wiches, and they would rather have sausage than eclairs. Remembering this fact she does not spread her alter-theater table with jelly cake and lemonade. Instead she has a little pile of delicious sardine sand­ wiches and a pot of steaming choco­ late ready. When the dub meets at her house she avoids the regulation salad, roll and ice style of refresh­ ment, and makes instead some de­ licious thing over the ch&tlng dish, which she serves with crackers and cheese and the best coffee she te cap­ able of making. Some of the dishes which have proved favorites at little suppers are easily prepared over a chafing dish. Stewed, panned, and roasted oysters are all delicious. Lobster a la New- burg is a dish dear to the masculine taste. So is Welsh rarebit. There have been occasions when "piping" hot toasted crackers served with thin shavings of cheese have sufficed to satisfy the appetite of people who wanted only a bite before they went to bed. And, in emergencies, crack­ ers may be toasted over a lamp. Hot bouillon may be made at a moment's notice if one keeps a jar of any of the be^f extracts on hand, and hot bouillon served with thin pate de fois gras sandwiches is not to be de­ spised. But each family will soon come to have its favorite eveuine tidbits, and then the task of the giver of little suppers is much simpli­ fied. ' n- • r -1 L ' LION*-HEARTED RICHARD.

The Pope's, legate had neany accom­ plished a treaty of peace between the rival monarchs of France and Eng­ land, and Richard was thinking of returning home when be heard that one of bis vassels, the Viscount of Limogesr; had found a treasure on his estate. As superior lord he claimed the whole of it, but th^ finder was only willing to give him part The King therefore besieged him in hia castle of Chaios; and though the gar­ rison offered to surrender, he said as he had taken the trouble to begin, he would finish by force, and hang every one 6f them. The same day, as he was surveying the walls, one Bertrand do Gourdon, an expert archer, pierced him with a^arrow in his shoulder. The King's intemperate habits and the unskiilfulness of the surgeon . caused the wound to mortify, and j^e ^became sensible that his end ap- pro*5bed. Tbe castle was taken while he lay ill, and all the men hanged except Gourdon. Sending for biiu into his presence, the dying Kinir demanded why he sought his life. The archer replied: "You killed with your own hands my father and my two brothers, and you in­ tended to have hanged me. You may take revenge by torturinir me as you will, i shall die rejoicing that I have freed the world from such a nuisance." Admiring, even in death, a bold­ ness of spirit which so few possessed in the same degree as himself, Rich­ ard ordered that Gourdon should be dismissed, with the gift of a hundred shillings, but be had no sooner ex­ pired than the man was flayed "itive. An Ugly Foe. "A wounded buffalo is about as ugly an antagonist as a man would care to meet," said John L. Merrick of San AntQnia, Texas, Who. was at the Laclede recently. "Several years ago these animals used to be Dretty p entiful down in my State, and I have killed a good many of them, but on one occasion one of them came near putting an end to ma I was out hunting, and, pav­ ing got in a range of a herd of the ruminacls, brought down a large bull. £ at once approached my quarry, knife in hand, ready to cut its throat, when all at once the beast rose to its feet, and, with an awful bellow, stood ready for action. My gun was empty, and knowing my only safety lay in flight, 1 turned and ran over the plain as fa t as my legs would carry me. The buffalo, furious with pain and rage, took up the chase, an0 followed me in (lose pursuit Glancing over my Shoulder, I could see the huge brute thunder­ ing along, and knew that he was gaining on me. A tragic ending of the chase seemed to be inevitable, when, just as I was about to give up and sink to the ground from exhaus­ tion, I beard behind me an awful crash, and looking back saw the buf­ falo struggling on the ground, where, faint from loss of blood, it bad fallen. Before approaching the beast a sec­ ond time I reloaded my rifle, and, with a Well-directed shot, made sure that he w°u^ notr rise UP tack me again." Something to Throw at the Gat. Mr. Frederick Fogers tells the story of a traveling canvasser who was seeking orders for a newly pub­ lished work. Expatiating an its merits to one whom be would fain make a purchaser, he was met with the growl: "It's no use to me; 1 never read." "But, then, your tamily,'* inter­ posed the indefatigable one. "Haven't got a family; have noth­ ing but a cat." "Well, you'll want something to throw at the cat." He got an order.--Westminster Gazette. " A quAitT whisky bottle will hold a barrel of gab.

The train, which was in charge of Conductor Gavin and was made up of seven coaches and sleepers, left Ab­ bott's Ford behind time, and whila running at fifty miles an hour struck a defective split switch?' at Mann villa, a deserted station, derailing the entire train and piling engine and care in a heap of broken timbers. To add to the horror, the entire mass waa son* in a sheet of flames, which, mingled with the groans and cries of the ia- jured, made a scene that terrified hearts of the bravest. : Number of KilieJ Not Kaowa. According to the dispatches abool fifty pa sange-s were cn the train. U»- der direction of Division* Supettntea- dent Horn, who happened to ha on tha north-bound passenger, a special train was fitted up and left for Stevens Point at 7 o'clock bearing the remains of .Engineer Hubbaid, firemen Gebhardt and Russell and a passenger. Whoa the bedy of Bigelow, the head brake- man, was recovered it had a watch fta one hand and a lantern on an arm. Mannville. tbe scene of the accident* was once a lively sawmill town, btft .ejft' late rears has gradually sunk to noth­ ing, until n w all that retrains is a lew • scattered buildings. During tlie forest fires last fall the d^pof, Lorned, and about all that is left t_> mark the plana is a heap < f burned ruit sand a number of side tracks. The accident occurred at the first switch, where a supposed broken bar caused a switch to open sufficiently to derail the train. After leaving the track the train plowed along over the ties for a dis­ tance of ten rods and then toppled and rolled over, the engine and tender go­ ing into tbe ditch and the cars pilaff on top of each other. All were soon set on fire from the stoves. From out of this tangled mass men and women who were lucky not to be pinned down crawled, many making wondesful es­ capes. Receiver Howard Morris and Sidney Hirsch, a business man from Iroawooo, occupied the company's business ear. whicn did not get into the heap,ana escaped destruction by burning. The rear sleeper and the business car alone came out practically unharmed. Cause of the Terrible Disaster: General Manager Whitcomb said of' the accident and the possible canfor "The split switch of the passenger track has evidently been tampered with, allowing the wheels of the loco­ motive ta catch the point." De­ scribing the catastrophe Mr. Hirsch said: "Our train was running at the rata of about fifty or sixty miles an hour when the crash earns, and the train seemed to go into aheap within a few seconds. I was asleep in the next to the rear sleeper at the time and was thrown from my berth, as were all the other pas­ sengers. As soon as we could seraahla out we found a terrible state of affairs. The baggage, express, smoker, dsj coach, a business car, and s sleeper were piled on top of each other, and within a vary few minutes the plie wna on fire." Land Seeker** Enmnlon, Jvne S.

"The peasents of Brittany have soma strange customs, and one of them is o( quite ancient origin," said a traveler.' "Many years ag6 their coast was visit­ ed by pirates, who invaded the houses and carried off all the money and valu­ ables they could find. In order to pro­ tect themselves in the future, the peo­ ple had an odd kind of a bedstead made, which looks exactly like a cup­ board with shelves and a door. On tha lower shelf slept the ma ter of tha he use and his wife, while the children of the household were distributed on the upper shelves. A small opening like the port-hole on a steamship waa made against each shelf, and covered with a wire sieve, which admitted tha air. At bed-time the family crept into their respective place J, taking? their treasures with them, and, lock­ ing the door, slept with a feeling of perfect security. Many of these curi­ ous articles of furniture ate still to b» found in the old houses of Brittany, and are highly prized by curiosity seekers."
