IT is MM asserted by those who ought to know that the ground hog got a tip from the ooal dealers. What will this world come to if the humble ground hog accepts tips and the oil hog tries to tip the senators? WILL the boundary line between Alaska and the British possessions ever be finally and forever established ? Here is one good opportunity for Uncle Sam to put his foot down and toe the tine just where it should be located. JCDGBS Charles EL Donnelly and Ar- flnrE Frost are not worrying over the outcome of the convention Saturday. Box Robert W. Wright, of Boone, and Charles Whitney, of Lake, are still gnm^ag. They are both good men, wait. Ta^BBsaaitazy and chilly quarters which we call a jail is a benefit to the Tillage in one respect--hoboes, looking for a night's lodging, cirele the Tillage, and the police are raved the trouble of making arrests. Wrongdoers have a holy terror of a quiet rest in the vil­ lage bastSe. Rockford Republic: The renomina- tion and election of Judge Charles H. Donnelly and Judge Arthur EL Frost was conceded at the meeting of the county committee this afternoon. This faction will generally be approved. 'Both are worthy officials whose compe­ tence and integrity is conceded. The contest in this county will be between Robert W. Wright of Belvidere and Charles Whitney of Waukegan. THIS senatorial district has received its share of honors in the legislature by the chairmanship of two of the most Important committees being conferred Upon Representatives Shurtleff and Ly­ on. Mr. Shurtleff, who has been appoint­ ed chairman of the judiciary committee, .is one of the foremost figures in the gen­ eral assembly and has always served his constituents faithfully. Mr. Lyon is chairman of the railroad committee. TILLMAN, the former lieutenant gov ernor of South Carolina, who is under H Arrest for the cowardly murder of N. •,v; , G. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State, intimates that he is certain of his fev. acquittal when his "pull" and high- priced legal talent join forces. It may ;• be, but if there wAs ever a cur that ought to be hanged without trial Till- . . man is the one. He shot Gonzales on ° the street without a sign of warning, as A result of political ill feeling J. P. MORGAN claims that he is not -worth a cent in personal property, that his debts greatly outweigh his cash re- . sources. But that people might not kick he consented to be taxed for $400,- >00o worth of personal property. Now what in the world will the tax collector do with that $5,000 check which Mor­ gan turned over, if his bank account is • already overdrawn? Morgan's magna­ nimity is equal to Rockefeller's cheek. The Basket Social. The basket social and card party giv­ en at the city h%ll last night by St. Pat­ rick's Court C. O. F. was well at­ tended and everyone had a good time. The baskets were well filled with good things and brought good prices, over $19.00 being realized. Progressive eu­ chre participated in. the prizes be­ ing won by Miss Alice Knox and Robert Sutton. The latter and Father Foley were tied, the decision being being made by drawing cuts. AUDACITY AND ARROGANCE. "We are opposed to any anti-trust legislation. Our counsel, Mr. --*--, will see yon. It must be stopped. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER." Last Friday night the above message was received by six United States sena­ tors. Such audacity and arrogance is unequalled in the history of this great Republic. That any one man should demand the representatives of 80,000,000 free people to do his bidding seems in­ credible. Rockefeller *8 billion dollars may have caused his head to swell to even such monstrous proportions, but \'r' . ^ even such as he cjan reach the limit. The same fate awaits him that befell the toad which tried to swallow a whale. With kerosene at fifteen and sixteen cents the American people should not be trifled with. Court House Notes Attorney C. P. Barnes, of Woodstock, was in McHenry yesterday. Miss Annie Stilling took the train for Richmond Friday morning. Don't buy valentines until you have seen that beautiful display at Besley's. Ben Gilbert went to Chicago yester­ day to visit his sons, George and Orton, who are conducting a grocery store in that city.. Miss Susie Barbian returned from Oak Park last night, where she has been visiting the past two weeks at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ed. Mullen. The RrcitaL The third annual recital given at Stoffel's hall last Thursday evening by Miss Edythe Leach and pupils was not attended by a very large audience, but the program was carried out just as ad­ vertised. Every number showed that Miss Leach has given her pupils careful training and that they are making rapid advancement. There was not a hitch during the entire program. The efforts of the pupils deserved a much better patronage. Pound Social. A pound social was held at the Uni- versalist parsonage last evening which was enjoyed by a goodly number of peo­ ple. Many pounds of good things were left with the pastor's family. An enjoy­ able evening was passed. Rev. and Mrs. Milier being excellent entertainers. Smdlrom and Tailor** Goose. A "sadiron" is the style in which the common flatiron is spoken of in print, says the Syracuse Herald. "Sad" is an old English synonyui for heavy, and Spenser wrote, "More sad than lump of lead." A "sadiron" was a heavy iron and long ago was applied to the flatiron now in common domestic use. The tailor's "gooee" was so called because the handle bears a fanciful resem­ blance to the neck of a goose. This name because it had a reason for be­ ing still survives. Literary Diaeasea. Many occupations have diseases which are more or less incidental to them, and literature is nofWempt. The two most prevalent literary maladies are writer's cramp and swelled head. The unfortunate thing about writer's cramp is that it is never cured. The unfortunate thing about swelled head is that it never kills.--Exchange. The Tronble With Poultry. An old woman who went into the poultry business under the expectation that she could make a fortune by sell­ ing eggs has quit it in disgust because, as she says, "the hens never '11 lay when eggs are dear, but always begin soon as they are cheap." A Quick Answer. Johnny's Elder Brother (who wants Johnny to go on an errand)--Didn't you know I was looking for you every­ where? " Johnny--No, I didn't. If I had, you Wouldn't have found me.--Chums. WHAT'S YOUR LIFE WORTH ? The Illinois legislators are dim»-na«ng that question this session and will no doubt raise the $5,000 limit which has heretofore been the stated value of a |C person's life. The courts of Illinois have at different times recognised that 1^ the limitation of damages allowed for ll^ * . the death of a person by the "wrongful act, neglect or default" of persons, com­ panies cr corporations, is too small. Two bills have been introduced raising the liAit to $10,000 and $15,000. Why should the legislature say what a hu­ man being's life is worth? In the eyes of the world some lives are not worth seven cents, but to the members of the family it may be worth mope. How many persons will place a value on their own lives? If the legislature will re- inove the limitation entirely there would be some common sense shown. Let the j ury decide in each case what the dam­ ages should be. The nature of the ac­ cident and attending circumstances should influence the jury, *"<1 not a J®w. The Frosted Haad. **Yes, and after she refused me she waved her hand in farewell."

Only one-fourth of the bottle cured me." L, Hawn, Newington, Ont. Neglected colds always lead to something serious. They run into chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, or consumption. Don't wait, but take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral just as soon as your cough begins. A few doses will cure you then. Three *izes: Z5c.. 50c , SI. All drofflitt. Consult your doctor.

Pill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set­ tling indicates an unhealthy condi­ tion of the kid­ neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid­ ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad­ der are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing It, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra­ ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won­ derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$!. sizes. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful discovery and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer &l Home of swunp-Root. Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing men­ tion reading this generous offer in this paper.

Our prices must be about right or we would not have done such a big business last year. It will be the same in 1903. Plenty of Goods tb select from at right prices.
