Miss Rose is/b^chly pleased and she has a right to be. t *• .• ftV'. iktm/ ' I A CERTAIN station agent on the North­ western recently received a car of house­ hold goods, and in the Bame bill was "burro" which is the Spanish name for donkey. After comparing the bill with the contents of the car, he immediately reported to headquarters that on Bill No. 68, car No. 11,421, he was one bu xeau short and one jackass over. THE Belvidere Standard says: "Mrs, Fred Hatch is now thought to be im proving, though not out of danger, consultation of physicians was held and it was found that Bhe had sustained fracture at the base of the brain. Of course, her injuries are serious, but the physicians aid her friendsj§slvery hopeful at present." AN exchange speaks of three of the most stingy men on record. The first will not drink as much water as he wantB nnlw. it comes from his neighbor's well. The second forbids his family to write anything but a small hand, as it is a waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops ' his clock to save the wear and tear on machinery. Ali of them re­ fuse to take a newspaper on the ground that it is such a terrible strain on their spectacles to read. PERSONAL JAB. PKBBV, JR., returned to his school at Champaign Monday . H. C.

SOME one whose name has been lost in the shuffle, wants an amendment to religion against the man who will not pay bis debts. Be says people who go to balls or get drunk are promptly bounced from the church, but nothing is done to the pious sneak who forgets to pay his just debts, especially if he con tributes to the church. There is some philosophy in this view of the matter. WE iearn that Eugene V. Debs, George W. Howard, Sylvester Keliher, Wm. E Burns, James Hogan, R. M. Goodwin and L. W. Rogers, of the American Rail way Union, reached Woodstock in charge of Deputy United States Marshal Don nelly on Tuesday evening, to serve the sentence imposed by Judge Woods, viz, Debs six months and the others three months each. Such distinguished pris oners made quite a stir in the otherwise quiet city of Woodstock, and nearly the entire male population were at the depot to meet them. SEATS OF aXSOKOB XeCOLX.UK. GEORGE MCCOLLUM, a former well knoan citizen of this town, died at his home in Wauconda on Friday morning last, aft^r a short illness.

A. R., of which he was a prominent member, large delegations from other Posts being present to assist in the last sad rites over the remains of a departed comrade.

To make them leave sprinkle red pepper on the cellar floor. Mr. and Mrs. Rate and all.the juvenile Rate will promenade on the pepper and then dust their feet with their tongues. Then they will feel very much insulted, leave, and take up their abode where thero is no red pepper on the cellar floor. Try it. EDITORS over on the "Military Tract," in this state, announce that henceforth they will preiace the name of no physi­ cian by his professional title. Thus, in­ stead of saying "Dr. Sawbones was apong those present," they will say "A. B. Sawbones was present." They do this on'the ground that medical ethics dis­ countenance advertising, and hold that the prefix "Dr." is advertising of a call­ ing.-- Ex. "No, ma'am," said the grocer, making a great clattering among his tins, "I have coffee pots and tea pots, but there isn't such a thing as a jack pot in the store." "I'm so sorry," wailed the young wife; "you see we haven't been married long, and my husband's mother has always cooked for him, and when I heard him talking in his sleep about a jack pot I thought I'd .get one, for he mentions it so often he must be used to it. Could you tell me what they cook in it? " "Greens, ma'am," said ths grocer, and he sent her to the tin store in the next block --Ex. 3 V JUSTEN BROS., Furniture dealers, have dissolved partnership, N. L.

It is one of the most beau­ tiful that the firm has ever issued and the edition was the largest ever printed by any one concern, being ten millions of copies. There t re two faces on the cal­ endar, both of children, representing Summer" and "Winter." The design was by one of the most gifted artists in the country, and the coloring is most ex­ quisite.

At the meeting of the city council last week Friday evening the contract for putting in the water-mains, hydrants, etc., was let to the Samuel I. Pope Co., of Chicago, for $14,560; their bid being the lowest. received. This will make the total cost of the water-works system about $37,610. A frightful accident, which resulted in the death of one of Woodstock's most promising young men, occurred in Hart- land township last Sunday. Charles Thompson and two friends had gone out on a hunting expedition, and at about two o'clock Charlie stood his gun up against a stump from which it slipped and was discharged, the entire load of shot passing through his stomach. His friends carried the injured boy to Cooney brothers' residence, where he was made as comfortable as possible while Will Cooney came to town as fnst as a horse could take him, and sent l)rs. Cook and Anderson to the young man's bedside. He also notified the boy's parents, who went out and remained with him to the end. The doctors found that the boy was so terribly injured that he could live but a few hours and all they could do was to give him medicine to alleviatethe pain. He lived until seven o'clock, being conscious to the last, and conversing with his parents and friends until a few moments before his death, when he lost consciousness and passed quietly away. with moved goods RINGWOOO.

We believe he intends building a house in the spring. , Carl Fay's new house presents a very neat appearance as it nears completion and speaks well for the architect and car­ penter, of which G. Spauldiug is both. THE following from the pen of one of the best writers of the day contains so much sound sense that we,feel it is a duty we owe to .our farmer readers to copy it: There is too much spirit among farm­ ers to take np with strangers going through the country offering induce­ ments in the way of trade in groceries, etc. They seem to be suspicious of the men who are doing business in town-- man who are honest, men who are respon­ sible. The business men of your town are r.ot robbers, who want your money for nothing. The people in the country must not think that a man can do busi­ ness without he makes something at it, nor can he do business long and jnake fabulous and unjust profits. Competi­ tion is so strong in these days that big profits are impossible. To the farming community I would say, stay by the bus­ iness 'men of your own vicinity and they will stay by you. Listen not to the wily tramp peddler, for when your goods do not turn out as represented he has van­ ished like the dew of the morning. Books cheap, nice bound oo& ao and 25 cents at J. A. Story's.

The last of Septem­ ber he was married to Miss M amie Thomas of this city. Early in November he was taken sick, but at first it was not sup­ posed to be anything serious, but very soon developed diabetes. Christmas day he was at hi» place of business, but from that time declined rapidly, and died Sunday, Dec. 30. Funeral services were held at the residence of M. Thomas, Rev. Alcott, of Elgin, officiating.
