CONVENTION DEADLOCK. «r*n*A The Democratic senatorial convention rtt Belvklere two weeks aj»o resolved it­ self into« deadlock similar to that of two years ago. The delegates convened at two o'clock in the afternoon and took sixty-six ballots without making a nom­ ination. Each ballot resulted in the ~! froiti McHenrjvf^ ,p«b> mond, 22 from Lake for> Gibbine and 8 from Boone for Dooley, ea&h county sending by its choice* M. H. Hnssey of Lake presided over the convention with T. F. Burns of Boone as secretary. T. J. Walsh of Mc Henry presented the name of Wm. Des­ mond, Geo. Rogers of Waukegan that of Gibbins and James Lyons of Belvi- dexe the Boone delegate. Finding o\jt after balloting until after &ve o'clock ̂ hat they were no nearer a nomination than when they first con­ vened, they decided to take a recess for two weeks, to meet at Harvard. This was carried by a unaniinoiis vote, but after they bad left 'fclte hall it was're­ called that both the Boone and Lake county fairs would be in session the •week, to which they, took a recess and then there was some skirmishing on the part of the delegates from th«se coun­ ties to put the matter oft' for still anoth­ er week, September waa agreed to." V -W kr. Desmond is very well satisfied witn the outlook, says the Harvard Her­ ald. iie is more than ever convinced of winning out. He has a devoted lot of followers, who are more ardently in fa­ vor of him than"Wer and they h»ve the utmost faith in his iiltimate triumph. They base their conclusions on his un­ questioned strength iu his home county and the fact," also, that he is a strong second choice in both the other counties Iu Lake there is an especially friendly feeling towards him. so all the circum­ stances seem to warrant the prediction that he' will land the nomination at the meeting of the delegates in Harvard* THREE JUROtfS CURED Of Cholera Morbus with One Small Bot­ tle of ChMiiiberlHiu'H Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Keinedy. Mr. G. W. Fowler of Hightower, Ate., relates an experience he bad while serv­ ing on a petit jury 111 a murder case at Edwardsyille, €lerbonrne county, Ala­ bama. He says: '"While "there I ate some fresh meat and some souse meat and it gave me cholera morbus in a very severe form. I was never more sick in my life and Pent to the drng store for a certain cholera mixture, but the drug­ gist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying he had what I sent for, but that this medicine was so much bet­ ter he would rather send it to me in the- iix I was in. . I took one dose of it and was better in five iuiuutes. The second dose cured me entirely. Two other ju­ rors were afflicted in the same manneri' and one twenty-five cent bottle cured- the three of as." For sale by all drug­ gists. * A Great Sporting; N'ew# Journal.

One of our exchanges has the following to say on the subject: "It is a great convenience iu driving through the country to see the names of the farmers on their mail boxes by the roadside. The man should be personal- 1v idenMHprl with Lu farm* Ev«u if there is no business to transact with the fanner at the time ,or in the future the passer-by takes an interest in this place or that as he sees the nat= ural beauty, improvements, manner of farming, keeping up the premises, flocks, herds, etc., and he would like to know who is responsible for that sort of place. He may meet the farmer in the future, see his name in print or hear it mentioned and it will increase interest in both the farm and the farmer to be able to associate the two As the paint wears off the mail box the owner's name becomes verv dim to read and should be renewed in plain black letters. .Wheth­ er the farmer lives on a • mail route or not it would be a very nice thing to put up a sign Riving-the name of the farm­ er, and if he be a tenant to also give the name of tbe owner of the place." 3 PHOTOGRAPHER'S WEST McHENRY, ILL. i near the standpipc. ^ makes everything known in the a business from a tiny locket to n i life-size, crayon.
