COLD weather is coming on and when |armere or others tie their horses on the fttreet or in exposed places do not force your horse to face the wind, and be care­ ful to blanket, even if only for a few minutes. It will save your horse won­ derfully. DURING the thunder shower on Sunday jrenoon last, lightning struck the tall irillow tree in front of the residence of E. Lamphere, in this village, shattering it quite badly. The report was like that of a cannon, and the congregation in the Universalist church, close by, were con- iderably frightened. PETER BLAKE, who lives just north of Ijhis village, says that he has lived on the same farm he now occupies for over 30 years, and that his corn crop this year is the biggest one he ever raised, and far iperior in quality. This goes to show that notwithstanding the dry weather Northern Illinois has more than held her own in this line. THE National Republican Text Book for 1894, just issued is one of the most complete yolumns ever present to the people.

It will contain ten tickets, viz: Republican, Democratic, Populist, Prohi­ bition', Independent Republican, Indepen­ dent Democrat.

An inter­ esting programme will be given, old fashioned Halloween games played, and a good time may be expected. Every­ one, both old and young, are most cor­ dially invited to come and have a royal good time. COM. ;A man living less than 100 miles from iere saw an advertisement in a foreign paper, "A sewing machinefor fifty cents." He forwarded the half dollar and received In return two needles and aji awl. That man should read his local paper and patronize home trade, if he has sense enough. It is probable, however, that he will bite just ae eagerly at the next «wiadle tbat comes along as this one. PERSON AEr H. E. WIGHTMAN attended to business in Chicago on Thursday last. JOHN I.

The Art Amateur, in its October issue, expresses a hope, which all art-lovers will echo, that the abrogation of the tariff on pictures may be followed by an improve­ ment in the quality of the English paint­ ings of the last century imported into this country. WE hear a genuine old-fashioned ghost has blossomed i»ut in .the country near a cemetery over toward Woodstock. It wanders aimlessly about up and down and has the face of a dead pig. "Angels and ministers of grace defend us!" "Alas, poor ghost!" But we know what it is. It is one of those Mugwumps look­ ing for a resting place after November 6. JULIA A. STORY is again greeting cus­ tomers in her store, and w itb the assist­ ance of Mr. Hungerford, a registered pharmacist, attends promptly to their wants. She is already adding to the stock, and among the attractions are many new t nd stylish designs in box stationery, calling cards, etc. She has also just received a carefully selected stock of perfumes of all varieties. She cordially requests all to call and examine. | MARRIED.--At the .lohnsburgh church, pn Thursday morning, October 18th, 1894, by the Rev. Father MehriDg, ;Mike Rouen and Miss Kate Rothermel. " "The groom is one of our enterprising young business men while the bri(^e is one of Johneburgh's most popular young Jadies,,and their many friends both in this village and Johnsburgh wish them a long life and unbounded happiness, and that their pathway through life may be strewn with roses is the wish of the PLAINDEALER. IF Michigan did beat us on the cabbage question we are willing to try her one on potatoes. John Claxton has left at this office thirteen potatoes of the late Kose variety that weigh just fifteen pounds. And they are not an assorted lot either. They are an average of fifteen bushels which he raised in one patch on his farm. Now if Michigan "or any other man," can beat that all we have to say is send along your potatoes and we will compare them. "THIS is the season of the year," says a physician, "when people should be very careful not to catch cold. The weather is unsettled, hot one^hour and cold the next, and those who are careless may contract colds in a few minutes that it will take them weeks to get over. This is the time, also, when foundations are laid for the grip. Besides this, people should be careful of their diet." A beautiful book for only 35c, to be found at J, A. Story's, just the thing for a daiaty gift. THE REPUBLICAN EAX.LT. The Republican Rally, at Riverside Hall, on Saturday evening, was an en­ thusiastic gathering, the spacious hall Mteing filled to overflowing, and the en­ thusiasm manifested shows that the j>eople are in earnest this_JEalLand--i jvipe out Democracy /and Mngwumpism soclean thatthenTwill not be a grease spot left. Hon. F. K. Granger presided, and the first speaker introduced was V. S. Lum­ ley, of W,oodstock, who spoke for a few minutes on county politics, and was fol­ lowed by Judge Donnelly, who in a plain and gentlemanly manner gave a true statement of the May Convention, of which the Mugwumps and their Demo­ cratic allies are making so much com­ plaint. tie proved conclusively and to the entire satisfaction of the large aud­ ience present that the soreheads had no real grievance, but were simply actuated by a desire for revenge, and were willing to defeat the entire Republican ticket if they couldjbecauee the people had seen fit to set them aside for, in their judg­ ment, more competent men. Judge Donnelly's remarks were well received throughout, and he made many new friends in thft vicinity. Hon. J. R. Mann, of Chicago, made the closing speech of the evening, and it was one of the most masterly efforts we have listened tojor many a day. He showed up the inconsistencies of the new Demo­ cratic Tariff in a plain and forcible man­ ner, and handled Democracy and its in­ consistencies without gloves. It short it was a clean, forcible and eBective speech, and one which will do mach good to the thinking people. We noticed in the audience delegations from Woodstock, Hebron, Greenwood, Ringwood, Nunda and Volo, and all went away more than pleased and more firmly resolved than ever to bury Democ­ racy and soreheadism in one common grave in November. A N editor of an Iowa paper has gotten himself into a peck of trouble. He wrote a paragraph saying the church windows shq^ild be washed. In placing the item in type the compositor dropped the "n" from window. Every widow in town stopped her paper at once. LOOK out for your chimneys now that cold weather is coming on. Nine out of t|pn fires occur through defective flues, and before fires are started every house­ holder should examine bis chimneys and satisfy.himself that they are absolutely safe. PASTE this in your hat where you will see it often. The supreme court of Illi­ nois has decided that if you want to vote the straight ticket, you must mark in the circle, and no where else. If you want to vote a split ticket, you must mark in the square before every name you wish to vote for, and only such names as are so marked can be legally counted by the judges of election. SLEEPLESSNESS in people, who work hard, and especially in brain workers, is often due to their working up to the last minute before bedtime. They may cure themselves by allowing at least an hour's interval of ease and repose between sleep and ceasing to work. A little eupper will often aid sleep, and a walk in the open air before going to bed is also a good recipe for inducing sleep and pro­ moting health. The Night School. There was about twenty in attendance at the meeting on Monday evening to organize a night school, the number being sufficient to insure its success. There will be another meeting at the school house on Thursday evening, at which time all who intend to attend are requested to be present. "Prof. Strayer is entitled to great praise for giving his time and energies free of charge. NUNDA. Fine spring rains in October. \ Corn Husking is progressing nicely. ^Goodwin's sons have a car of potatoes. JO. C. Colby has a car of potatoes. ... -- / W. P. Morse was a Nunda visitor" on -frHn™onda.V last- A number of Chicago gentlemen at* tended the Dole horse sale last Tuesday. George Hanly, of McHenry, was seen on onr streets Tuesday last. If you desire nice fresh candies, fruits, nuts, cigars, oysters, call at the Columbian. 11 C. S. Dole had another, big horse sale Tuesday, Oct. 3d. Some fine stock was sold. The independent, sorehead party has much to say about a ring. There is one pei son in this place that has allowed his mind to become so impregnated wi'.h the idea that a riug is necessary tbat he has elected a large dinuer bell on his build­ ing and eve*y few minutes pulls a rope to ring the bell, and calls it the Wood­ stock ring A man may become insanejV if he permits one thing only to .occupy his brain. George Peeler, who has been an invalid for the past three or four yeafs, died quite suddenly last Mouday, Oct 22d. Mr. Peeler was an old soldier, having en­ listed in Co. H, 36th 111. Vols., in Sept., 1861, as a private, and was mustered out at the close of the war as 1st Lieut. He was a brave and faithtul soldier, and was highly respected by all his old com­ rades and associates. He hud been un­ able to labor for a number of years on account of disabilities contracted in the service of his country. He was a mem­ ber oCPost 226, Dept.' of Illinois G. A. R. The funeral Services were held Wednes­ day afternoon. He Was buried by the Grand Army. His remains were laid in the beautiful Fnion Cemetery, there to rest from his labors until he meets his comrades at the grand reunion, over there. He leaves a companion, three daughters and two sons to mourn his loss. May he who overrules all things guide and keep them. "THERE are tricks iu all trades but ours." Since cards have become subject to stamp duty, manufacturers have taken advantage of a technicality*) escape the tax. The treasury department recently ruled that packs of cards known as "old maids," "author*," and similar games which are ployed with cards other than the regular pasteboards used in duplicate whist, euchre and occasionally seven-up and poker, are not subject to the two- cent duty. Accordingly some wise man­ ufacturer has issued an "old maid" pack. It consists of a euchre deck, with the ad­ dition of a oard bearing the visage of a sour looking elderly female, supposed to be the old maid. It merely takes the place of the joker, and can be used in the game or not, as the players please. Closing Out Sale. We would call especial attention to onr stock of Winter Underwear, Hats, Caps, Glovea and MittenB, of which we have the finest line to be found in town, and which will be sold AT i'OST AND BE­ LOW TO CLOSE.

Prayer Recitation Miss Lizzie Lumley Instrumental solo Florence Brown Reading Warren Foss Duet 0. E. Fay and Mrs. Bishop Readinir Recitation Recitation Reading Recitation Song..... Miss Lucy Dodge Mabel Carr Willie Brown Scott Harrison Edith Matthews Society A PECULIAR will case is on trial at Bur­ lington, Iowa. Last summer a father and son, while in bathing, were both drowned, going down in each other's arms. A large estate was left, and now comes the question of which died first. The son was the only child, and on the decision of the case depends the widow's share. If the son died flret the widow can take but one-half of the estate, and the other half must go to her husband's brothers and sisters, who are suing. If the husband died first, then the widow is entitled to the whole estate, her own share and the other portion which the son would have been entitled to. THE neglect of American statesmeri by American painters and sculptors, The Art Amateur (October) points out, is no more marked than the contempt shown by the former for the latter, quoting in illustration the reply of John Adams to Binon's first request for permission to make a bust of him: "The age ol sculp­ ture and painting has not yet arrived in this country, and I hope it ^fill be long before it does so. I would not give a sixpence for a picture by R'phael or a statue by Phidiaa." Send your entire female alliance at once for elegant new Jackets or (-apes. Over 200 to choose from at S.Stoffel's.
