^rations FARMERS STORE WEDNESDAY. JUNE 19, 1895 ELGIN, jar* Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday, was firm. Offerings, 75,960 pounds. Sales, 40,620 pounds at 17% cents. Last week 17%@T8 cents. Year ago 16%@17 cents. • fgg^ATcannon tbatcan sink--an iron­ clad ten miles away, and a machine gun mounted on a tripod and carried aa easily as a rifle, that can fire 600 shots a minute are the latest additions to Uncle Sam's war equipments. \ |^°Cannedlneat will hereafter be boy­ cotted by the family of L. M. Hess, of Rockford. Some of it eaten for supper Friday night came near resulting fatally for a majority <si the family, and; al­ though the danger point is passed now, it will be some time before those who partook of it will be as strong and well H a« usual. ; ; 'writ is said that the eyes of the new silver division of Illinois Democrats are "sot" on Adlai Stevenson for President, •T. Pardon Alt geld for U. S. Senator, and Buck Henrichson for Governor. To more correctly state the proposition the eyes of the gentlemen named are "sot" on the offices. But Altgeld's reception by his own convention ought to convince him at least that the chances are 16 to 1 against his getting another nomination from the people of Illinois.--Aurora Beacon. I®*Henry Watterson devotes four col­ umns ot the editorial page of the Louis­ ville Courier Journal in telling the Demo­ crats of Kentucky that the outlook is not as bright for them as they might de- jure this year. He thinks there is danger of the Republicans carrying Kentucky, but remarks that worse things could happen to the. state than to have Republican. In view of the money plank in their platform certainly be a remarkable victory for ttle Republicans if they should wrest the state from mossback rule. I®* The Spripgfield correspondent of the Harvard Herald .has the following to say in relation to the candidacy of Con­ gressman Hopkins for Governor: *'A person visiting Springfield at., this time will find that the all absorbing topic of conversation is of a political nature, party leaders being here from every sec­ tion of the state. Ex-Governor Fifer drops in every few days and a few weeks ago had a conference with his lieutenants Congressman Murphy and J. B. Meseick, of East St. Louis, I. N. Phillips, of Bloomington, Dr. Robbins, ol[ Quincy, Editor Snively, of Canton, are all of the "old guard" and with Charlie Linn and Dan Frazier, Who have been on the ground all winter, they lose no oppor­ tunity to press the claims of the ex-gov- ernor. But the candidacy of Congress­ man Hopkins is assuming proportions that are alarming the friends of the ex.governor. Hopkins was here again last week and he met with a royal recep­ tion. The eighth district congressman comes from the heart of the Republican .part of the state, which is unanimous for him, and the support he will receive in Cook county will make him the leading candidate of his party. Mayor Swift, of Chicago has come out for him while other Cook county leaders are known to be favorable to his candidacy. Hopkins will have the solid support of the north and northwest, sections of the state and and he will be as cordially supported in Cook couDty as any state candidate ever received. The strength of Hopkins is de­ veloping in Southern Illinois is also of a nature that is gratifying to his friends. Some of the oldest and ablest politicians in Egypt are for him, while the younger element is practically a unit for him, so that those who look upon Hopkins' can­ didacy with a feeling of uncertainty as to his success would change their minds if they were to visit this city and talk with men from various parts of the state." SPRING GROVE.' Thos. Turner, of Dayton, Ohio, arrived here last week and will spend thesummer with his sister, Mrs. Heaney. Chilrden's Day exercises were held at the M. E. Church, Sunday, the 9th. A large number were in attendance. Much interest is shown in the meetings conducted by Rev. Helmnth. of Genoa Junction, every Wednesday evening. A sociable for his benefit is talked of in the near future. Our town hall will soon be a reality, so they say. Win. Hoffman is rejoicing over the ad­ vent of an heir. Mrs. Edward Gannon and children, of Chicago, are visiting here. . ____ . Messrs. Will Colby, Selim and Silas Pierce, and their wives, attended the Woodmen's picnic, at Madison. Geo.

Pension office at W ashington is the grand daughter ef Francis Scott Key, who wrote the "Star Spangled Banner." She has been the- sole support of her mother, who is totally blind and over 80 years of age, and while perhs!ps, and average clerk in ability she is not an able bodied Democrat--at least not of the regulation Hoke Smith stripe whose chief recommendation to office is that they fired on the flag, not so long ago, however, that everybody has for, gotten the little circumstance. ISTlt is reported from Washington that the chiefs of departments are very uuch impressed with the idea of putting all the employes under the classified ser vice. Why should they not be? They are Democrats and that is a very plausi­ ble cover to insure their subordinates who are either straight out or brevet Democrats, according the exigencies of an administration, a life long job. The Republicans, when they again come into power, will feel themselves bound to ob­ serve the civil service rules, an they did before, and harbor a lot of spies and political sneaks to manufacture charges against them, no matter how honorable and conscientiously the business of the government is carried on.

In re­ turn for this the tramp must pay work, and if he refuses, then he must be treated as a vagabond and committed to the work house. This is just what should be done for the protection communities and to clean out a large part of the tramp element, for no one supposes there would be many tramps they were compelled to work as a pen alty for tramping.

The ne\>? horseless carriage Springfield, Mass., has been eo perfected that it is now in operation. Its inven tor claims that it costs only a cent an hour to rqn. A vehicle for two, con structed like the ordinary buggv, weighs 000 pounds. The speed can be gauged at from 3 to 16 miles an hour, it is claim­ ed, and after it has been running 16 miles an hour there is no horse to rest, water, feed and rub down. The nag that draws it never gets spavin, glanders or bote. The nag is gasolene, so managed that an electric spark touches one drop of it at a time, producing a slight explosion and rapid expansion of air. Finally, the nag is carried inside the wagon and weighs only 120 pounds. If this vehicle comes to be the vogue, then poor people can afford carriages. More Truth Than Fiction. The following words of a superinten­ dent in a neighboring county, who, while holding an institute, asked the hundred teachers present how many took their local paper, and counted six hands, are applicable often: "You don't spend one dollar a year with these papers, yet you expect them to print free of charge, notices of ' institutes, insert long pro­ grammes of same, make full reports of what you say and do on these occasions, and thus expect them to advertise you and your abilities in your chosen pro­ fession, thus assisting you to climb the ladder to better positions and better salaries without one cent's patronage in return. Your conduct in this matter would lead me, were 1 an editoj.of one of these papers, to promptly throw into the waste basket any communication sent me by any society, the members of which were too proud or too stingy to take my paper, or if I inserted it to demand full advertising rates for every line published. Gen. Carr, of Colorado, visited with Prof. Easton the fore part of the week. Ex-Postmaster Sexton, of Chicago, was in this city on business Monday. C. F. Gaulke's new residence on Cal­ houn street is almost ready for the masons. Rev. S. C. Hay returned Friday from an extended visit in the East. He re­ ports a very pleasant time. The M. D. Hoy residence, on Dean street, under the supervision of Belcher & Matheney, is approaching completion. The fishermen have about given up for the season. Many great catches have been made this year. Rev. I. N. Adrien, of Carpentersville, called on his many friends here Monday: He reports everything in a flourishing condition d/Swn his way. The grocery firm of Conklin & Hyde was disBdived by mutual consent on Sat­ urday last, Clarence Hyde retiring. W. Conklin, Jr., will continue at the old stand. The bicycle boys as well as the girls are more than enjoyiug these lovely evenings. It is a very pleasing sight to see from thirty to fifty of them gliding along on their "bikes." A. W. Anderson has ju«t completed re­ painting his residence on the farm, in Seneca. It is a very creditable job when it is £aken into consideration that Mr. Anderson did the work himself. J. S. Medlar is erecting an art gallery on the lot jufet south of his residence on Dean street.. It will be very convenient and just about as handy as his present quarters for those who wish their "pic­ ture taken." The work on our city Water Works has come to a standstill, owing to a mis­ hap with the pump at the pumping sta­ tion. It is hoped the delay will be short The many friends of Uncle Henry Dufield in this vicinity will be glad to learn that he is on the improve, vfe are glad to make note of the fact and hope yet to see him reach the 100 mark. He is now past 93, and can tell as good fish stories as the next man yet. _JadyHakes, of Seneca, had an expe­ rience with a horse thief on Sunday morn­ ing. The thief, whose name we did not learn, took the team from the party now living on the Danz farm, in the town of Hartlatra, and gave those in chase a hot time of it, finally being captured near Franklinville. He is now a boarder at Sheriff JEckert's. A • Administrator's Notice. ESTATE of Hnnnah Oarr, deceased.
