TRYON THE value of raw cotton exported in the fiscal year just ended was $241,666,- 165. It has never been so much since 1892 when it reached $258,461,241. Southern cotton growers will appre­ ciate this return to the good old Re­ publican times. KING HUMBERT, of Italy, carried $7,000,000 in life insurance and is said to have been the most heavily insured monarch in the world. His example shows that the advantages of such in­ surance are appreciated by the rich and powerful as well as by those who are dependent upon their own exertions. As Thomas McNulty, of Chicago, per­ sisted in declaring that Bryan would be elected, his sister made complaint in court against him that he was insane and the physicians appointed, after due examination, reported that lie was men­ tally deficient. It did not require a physician to demonstrate the fact, but the rules of the court must be com<- plied with. . NOTHING ever has been acomplished for the good of society by the assas­ sination of monarchs. Crimes of that character never have frightened Eu­ ropean rulers into making their gov­ ernments more liberal. On the con­ trary, the probabilities are that the natural and inevitable progress in that direction would have been more rapid if there never had b&n any anarchists and assassins. Strange Friends. Horses," as a rule, are particularly do­ cile and 90 it is not surprising to find in­ stances of friendship between them and smaller animals, though occasionally the1 choice of their companions is not a little strange. Many the cases of mutual af fection existing bet week horses and cats, the most famous being that between the Godolphin Arab and a black cat, which on the death of his equine friend refused to leave the body, and on being driven away retired to a hayloft, refused food and died of a broken heart. More strange, however, wis a case, the truth of which is vouched for, in which a horse struck up an acquaintance with a hen and displayed immense sat­ isfaction whenever she came into his stall and rubbed against his legs, cluck­ ing greeting to her friend. Dogs and horses generally get on well together, but the following story from Manchester, proves that in some cases the friendship is something more than a mere toleration of each other. A car­ riage horse, accompanied by his stable oompanion, a retriever dog, to which he was extremely attached, was drinking at a trough near the exchange. While the dog was waiting for his friend to finish his draught a large mastiff picked a quarrel with him which endei in a fight. The mastiff, as may be supposed had the better of the battle, and the re-' triever was severely bitten. The horse," the moment he heard his friend's cry, broke from the man who was holding him, hurried to the rescue, and tofter kicking the mastiff across the street, returned to the trough and finished his drink. SOME FACTS FOR FARMERS. What Republican Urn Rai DOB* #6r Wool, Pork and Beef ; QrowcMf' A Just Criticism. A woman with a heart big enough to include all humanity and who pours many a cup of loving service, last week wrote me a letter, because she was grieved at the attitude of the churches toward struggling musicians, and oth­ ers to whom the fates have not been kind: 'Every Christian church is closed to any poor soul trying to get pupils and a place for them to practice, and while we send missionaries by the score to help out and assist the heathen, we build a wall, and a high one, between churches and the poor, and allow only those to enter who worship one day in seven, six days letting the organ stand idle and useless. Oh, how I wish that I had the means to build and equip a music roonj or rooms and put organs and pianos in and bid any responsible worthy person go and use to their own advantage."--Toledo Journal. GRISWOLD LAKE. Miss Dake, of Chicago, is visiting her friend, Miss May Walsh, this week. Mrs. John Wright spent a few days last week with relatives near Volo. Bernie Frisby spent the latter part of last week with Belvidere friends. Mrs. John Kniffel, of Wauconda, vis­ ited Mrs. Wm. Walsh one day last week. Mrs. Felix Givens, of Chicago, is spending a few weeks with Mrs. E. Givens. Wm. O 'Toole and George O'Donnel, of Chicago, are visitors at the home of G. Walmsley. Miss Irene Biggs, of Chicago, is spending the summer with her aunt, Mrs. L. Knigge. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Vasey and daugh­ ter, Irene, of Volo, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Van Natta and son, Irving, of Barreville, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John Wright. Miss Frances Walsh was pleasantly surprised by about twenty of her young friends on Saturday last, the occasion being her seventh birthday. The after­ noon was pleasantly spent in playing games and other amusements. The little folks departed at a late hour, after having partaken of elegant refresh­ ments, leaving behind them many to­ kens of friendship to remind Frances of the happy day for many years to come.

They show a population of 325,902, which is 28,994 more than it was in 1890. This is a gain of a little more than nine per cent, as against a gain of sixteen per cent during the preceding ten years. As in the case of Washington, the only Other large city reported on, the rate of increase is a disappointment, but these two cases are not a safe criterion by which to judge the gain on other cities and the rest of the country. They point to the fact, however, that our gain in population during the past ten years may not have been as great as has been supposed.

In 1896, as a result of the Wilson tariff, which eiv eouraged the importation of, the cheap wools of Australia and Africa, the value of all sheep in the United States had fallen to $o5.167,725; in 1899 their value had increased to $107,697,530. The price of wool in eastern markets {Wring October, 1896, was at the rate of 18 cents per pound for fine wool, 19 cents for medium and 18 cents for coarse. In the same month of 1899 the price of fine wool had risen to 31 cents, medium to 33% cents and coarse to 29 cents. The total clip for 1899 reached the amount gf 272,191,- 330 pounds. Taking 23 cents as the average between prices per pound in 1896 and 1899, there would be a gain to the farmer of more than six and a quarter million dollars upon this one article alone, and yet the demo­ cratic platform denounces the Ding- ley bill as being framed solely for the enrichment of a few. Pursuing the matter a little fur­ ther: The average price at wholesale for lard was less than 4% cents in 1896; in 1899 it was considerably more than 5% cents. The price for mess beef was $7.51 in 1896; it was $9.26 in 1899. Still the Dingley bill in the eves of our democratic friends is a measure that is oppressive to the farmer. There is hardly a product of the farm that has not been increased by the operation of the tariff, while, on the other hand, many of the articles that are purchased by the farmer are reduced in price. Standard cotton prints, for instance, were worth very nearly five cents per yard at wholesale in 1896; they were 4% cents in 1899. The price of cloth has remained practic­ ally stationary, and whilst there has been an 'increase in the price of all iron products it is to be remembered that with this increase of price there has been a corresponding increase of wages, and with the increase of wages there has been an increased ability to consume more products of the farm and to demand only (he choicest of tliem for home consumption. TRAVELING MEN SATISFIED. They Will Take No Chances on a Re­ turn of Democratic Time*. One of the first campaign organiza­ tions started in Illinois this year was the Rockford Traveling Men's Repub­ lican club No. 1. of which William Win­ ter is president and James F. McKee secretary. Its membership already numbers close to 200 enthusiastic com­ mercial men, nearlj all of whom "drum" trade for Rockford factories and whole­ sale houses. Not a few of those who have joined the club are men who sup­ ported the democratic ticket four years ago, but who now only ask a chance to vote for a continuance of the prosperous business conditions which have prevailed as a result of tohe McKi.n- ley administration the past four years. So class of voters are more hopeful of republican success, both state and na­ tional, and will do more to bring it about than the traveling' men. They havenot forgotten the commercial stag­ nation which prevailed throughout the country four years ago and will do ay in their power to prevent a return of democratic times. It's a simple mat­ ter of business, not politics, with the traveling men. They know that where four years ago they had difficult work getting orders enough out of the country merchant to keep them on the road, under republican management business has revived and they keep their houses jumping filling orders. Moreover, they know- that their employers get in payment for their goods money that is good and worth 100 cents on a dollar at any spot on earth. Hotelkeepers in every city and village tell the same story of prosperity. The vacations of the traveling men have become things of the past and the hotel regis­ ters tell the best story of the great increase in the number of "drum­ mers" on the road. It is true that tjie force of traveling men now on the road is greater than ever before, ftnd they are also making more money than in the past. The drummers played an important part in the last presidential campaign, and they will be just as active for McKinley this summer and fall as they were four years ago. They are shouting for protection, prosperity, sound money and expansion. Are Not Deceived. Decatur Herald: The recent indus­ trial convention at Spri gfieid demon­ strated that the democratic campaign- els have not deceived them as to the record of that party on the trust question. The convention adopted resolutions condemning the course of the democrats in congres in defeat­ ing trust legislation. The convention is to be congratulated on the courage it exhibited in thus c enouncing a party which shows no disposition to help in legislation against trusts but contents itself in using trusts as a campaign question instead of a ques­ tion to be legislated upon. J Work Renamed. The big Waukegan mills of the Ame ican Steel and Wire company have re­ sumed operations, after a shut-down caused by fire, and will emploj- a large force of night and day men. Forman Attain for McKinley. W. S. Forman, who refused to sup­ port Bryan in 1896, will do so again this yeai and says McKinley will carry Illinois by a majority of at least 100,0U0.
