Judge Upton refused the petition, saying that he could not do anything as the law said the decision of the board of review wits final. In dis cussing the matter the Judge showed he was thoroughly disgusted with the law, which instead of conserving the liberty and pureness of the ballot seemed to tend to disfranchise voters and com pel «thetn to vote for convention nominees if at all, Mid put the ballots at the mercy of a re viewing board composed of men who were candidates.

ISAAC WENT WORTH, - F. L. MCOMHER, Clerk. •W"According to the returns the Re publicans in the next Illinois legislature will have 128 members out of204 in joint ballot for United States Senator. The Senate will be composed of 34 Republi cans aod 17 Democrats. There are 51 senatorial districts, of which 26 held elections last week Tuesday. There are 25 hold over Senators. Of these 14 are Democrats and 11 Republicans. The fig ures show that only three Democrats were elected to the Senate and that these three will be all that will be hold-overs oat of a total of twenty-five Senators who will, in 1897, vote for a successor to 3ohn M. Palmer in the -United States Senate. The figures also Bhow that the Republicans will have a total of 23 hold over Senators in the Senate in 1897 to vote for a successor to John M. Palmer, or within three i>f controlling the Senate at the session of 189 7. The returns show that the Republicans have elected 93 to the Democrats 59 in the House. From all of which it will be seen that the Re publicans will not only elect a successor to Senator Cullom, but that they will also elect a successor to Senator Palmer. |lv" • Uhiaa-Japanese War. The news from the seat of war in the East shows that the Japanese are push ing their advantaires with all energy. A v powerful army is on the march to Mouk- den, and the demoralized Chinese forces make little resistance. These forces are a greater danger to the peaceful inhabi tants than to the Japanese. According to accounts the Chinese are without a well ordered commissary, and subsist on the country by means of plundering. The most interesting story from the seat of war is that the great viceroy, Li Hung Oiang, is anxious to take the field, and in order to insure his personal safety is not averse to falling' into the bands of the Japanese. Be would certainly be safer in the hands of the Japanese than he is now. The march of, the Japanese into the heart of Manchuria will probably ren9er necessary a prolonged occupation of that province, as winter has set in, and the Japanese will be obliged to house them selves in Monk den or suffer severely from the rigors of the northern climate. Such occupation may result in the permanent separation of Manchuria from theChinese empire. Corea would certainly be safer from invasion if the Russian lines were bent southward and the Corean line car ried northward from the Valu river, so as to wipe out Eastern Manchuria alto gether. The Japanese intend to do their work so thoroughly that China cannot in a few years gather her forces and turn the tide against Japan. Dismember ment of the Chinese empire is the prob- ableaimof the Japanese. A society personal says Justice Harlan of the U- Supreme Court, is in great demand at dinner parties. It would not surprise some of his friends should he be demanded by another kind of party be fore he is two years older. Ward McAllister ought to thank hiB stars that he isn't the social monitor of Russia, where the nobility has 650,000 members. Gen. Harrison spoke with prophetic ac curacy when in his great New York speech he likened the Democratic party to grasshoppers, because you never can tell which way it will jump. The title, grasshoppers, should stick. It fits per fectly. j Perhaps Senator Brice has changed his mind about the influence wielded by Mr. Cleveland. " • So Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, will neither be Speaker of the House nor U. S. Senator, after the fourth of next March, eh? Perhays Cleveland moved out to bin country residence for fear that be might have been serenaded and asked for a speech on the election returns bad he re mained at the White House. Who killed Cock Robin? "I, with qjy silence and contempt; I killed Cock Robin," said mighty Grover. "I, with my peanut financiering; I killed Cock Robin," quoth Johnny Carlisle. "I, with my sweet Lil; I killed Cock Robin," chir- rupped Walter Q. "'Twas I," says Hoky-poky, "with my pension policy, that killed Cock Robin." "Nay, nay, tings Danny, " 'twas I and my coal syn dicate that killed Cock Robin." "Not so," says J. Sterling, " 'twas the hayseed bought with money 1 saved that killed Cock Robin." "Look at me!" yells Dickey Olney; "all the world knows that it was I, with my trust dob, that killed Cock Robin." * Now that the cold north wind doth blow, and there are prospects of snow, pray what will the poor stumper who has lost tis occupation do ? The Democrats spent $9,200,000 more on the postal service than they received from postal revenues last year, and yet the postal service wasn't as good last ear as it was the year before.

Fifth District. MONEY CAUSES TROUBLE. Kaaj Fierce Hatreds Begin at th* Read-;; tng of the Will. Of all things, after jealousy--pf which, indeed, it is part and parcel, the visible substance of the unseen feeling--money is the most potent factor in the creation of domestic rows. To see a set of expectant heirs all wait ing on the reading oi' the will, and to note the disappointment of those who1 have not been well endowed, and their frantic jealousy of and fiery anger against those who have, is to see an object lesson in human nature among the most saddening and degrading that exist. By reason of those legacies all the former love is forgotten, and a hatred like to nothing so much as the fire of hell takes its place. Brothers and sis ters glower at one another over the lump sum given to one and the small annuity doled out to another, with the thundering residuum that goes to perhaps the already richest member of the family, or the portion which cre ates the head out of one of the minor joints of the tail. How many affec* tions have received their death blow by the side of that divided heap of money--where each legatee thought himself defrauded by all that the oth' ers had received, and where there were disappointed heads by as many there were joints in the tail left in their natural condition. It is an exceptional nature that can take coolly the disappointed expecta tion formed by \ anity or cupidity of the legacy to come after such and such a death, writes Mrs. Lynn Lintdn, in the Queen. For, indeed, money is the touch-stone par excellence of character,' and baser hopes do sometimes so often mingle in even with love where the lover is poor and the beloved is wealthy. Then comes the crash, and then follows the row;, and flames burst out where the flowers once bloomed and the sweet waters once flowed. HE WAS MOVING. And for a Wonder Hiej Belongings XMd Not Crowd the Van. A young man on the South side had two rooms in a flat building and had furnished them himself. He had all the comforts of a home--such as a fold ing bed, a dresser and a set of boxing gloves. His lease expired on May 1, and he had some other rooms engaged, but he required two weeks in which to screw up his courage to the moving point, says the Chicago Record. He hired a brawny man to do the packing. The carpets, the bookcase and the other traps, including two trunks, made a formidable showing, and when he telephoned the transfer company he said: "Send one of your largest wagons." Next morning early there was a rap at his door and the brawny man said: "The wagon is here." Before anything was carried down stairs he went out in front just to as sure himself that the wagon was large enough. He found that it was. It re sembled a storage warehouse on wheels. It was as large as the Barnum cage in which travel the two hippopo tami. The driver sat on the roof, away up in the air, and the horses were dwarfed into ponies. When the back floors were opened there yawned a cavernous interior in which two sets could have danced a quadrille. There was no doubt about it being large enough. After all the earthly posses sions of the young man had been pushed into one corner, the captain of the van asked where the rest of the stuff was to be found. "That's all," said the youna man. "All! That's not enough for ballast. Why didn't you get a wheelborrow?" "I didn't know they had any wagons so big," stammered the humiliated young man. His property did make a paltry showing. When he paid the bill he was sorry that he hadn't used a wheelborrow. > Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Medal and Otptou. CIDER MILL.

'Traces of the Busy Little Animals Found • In the Adirondacks. It has been supposed that beaverv were long extinct in the Adirondacks, but fresh work by them has been found on the outlet of Lake Meacham, twenty-live miles. south of Malone. This discovery has attracted a good ^I«., 1 * : j j uvihVa ovvcuviviJ X1UOI UlUCO tfliU hunters. Beavers feed on the bark of the birch, willow, alder and poplar, and it is their habit to lay by stores of food in the summer. Guides who were fishing on Meacham outlet recently found sticks of poplar of varying length and diameter, from half an inch to an inch, cut almost at neatly at each end as if the work could have been done with the knife: It wac unmistakably the work of beavers. It would add largely to the charm of the Adirondacks if beavers were again to establish themselves there and erect their strange habitations.
