FROM the Harvard Independent wo learn that County Superintent of Schools Wire, " was injured seriously at his home in Hebron Wednesday noon.

"MARSHALL BROS. & Nugent have bought the three lots near the pier at Glenwood Springs, Lake Geneva, for hotel usage. They were owned by JAB B. Perry, Ruggles & Son and Hubbell Bros., and the price paid was $4,100." The site of this beautiful Summer Resort was bought a few years ago by a com­ pany of twenty-five, of which lames B. Perry, of this villaga, was one, and is proving a bonanza for its owners. It is certainly the handsomest place on Lake Geneva. DEATH OF LEONARD BONSLETT, DIED.--In this village, on Thursday evening, Sept. 10th, 1896, . LEONARD BONSLETT, aged 77 years. The subject of this obituary was born at Loogh, Prussia, Nov. 17,1819, and emigrated to America in 1851, crossed the plains to'California in advance Of the railroad, engaged in gold mining until 1859, when he returned, and was joined in marriage to Miss Margaret Lenzen, Oct. 27th of the same year. Conducted a general store afc Spring Grove, 111., till 1862, when he removed to Johnsburgh, 111., where he continued in the mercantile business till 1877, when he came to this city where he was engaged in business till 1891, and resided here till the time of his death, Sept. 10,1896. The deceased leaves to mourn his loss his faithful companion through life, four children, Mrs. Anna Stoffel, Will., Ben., and Mies Maggie Bonslett, who were at his bedside. Two children, Mary and Maggie, aged respectively 3 and 7 years, preceded him in 1870. Mr. Bonslett leaves three brothers and one sister. The deceased was a highly respected citizen, a kind and affectionate husband and father, and enjoyed the respect and esteem of a large circle of neighbors and friends. The funeral was conducted Sun­ day, Sept. 13, by Rev. Father Kirsch, from the German Catholic Church, and his remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of relatives and friends. Card of Thanks. To the friends and neighbors who so kindly remembered us dutffibg the sickness and death of our beloved husband and father, to those who gave messages of comfort in oursorrow, to those who re­ membered him with beautiful floral offerings, to those who breathed sweet sympathy in song, and to those who bore the precious clay from our home, to each and all we wish to express our warmest thanks. May equally as willing hands and loving hearts assist, them, should they ever be call upon to pass through a like sorrow, is our heartfelt wish. MRS. MARGARET BONSLETT AND FAMILY. G. O. LANG, the composer of the most popular song of the day, "In the shadow of the Pines," has sent us a new song, "Say not Good-bye. We predict for it a larger sale than " In the Shadow." It is simply beautiful, easy to play, melo­ dious, and a perfect adaption of exquis­ ite words to a delightful melody. We recommend our readers to send for a copy. The publishers, Legg Bros , 1008 Walnut St., Kansas City, Mo., are mak­ ing a special price of 25c per copy. To any one of our readers who have not already "In the Shadow of the Pines," they will send one copy of each for 50 cents. J. II. C. SWAN, who predicted the St. Louis cyclone, says of the coming winter: "The winter of 1896-97 will be very long and very cold, with much snow in all lo­ calities where snow is a factor. Bliz­ zards will be numerous, highways and railways will be blockaded, all to be fol lowed by much rainfall and high water most of the year. Do not be in haste to get in springs crops. Plant large and late varieties of corn. Wet weather will be your trouble. Provide good shelter tor self and stock, and do not forget the suffering, hungry and poor of the land.' YESTERDAY the sportsmon could take his gun and seek game without violating the laws of the state. Prairie chickens will hear from the shooters in every di­ rection. for the sportsmen who are law abiding have been watching the young covies for some time, promising them­ selves to make a serious visit to the stubbles and cornfields on September 15. t'rairie chickens are reported in fair num­ bers in many parts of the state and now the young birds are strong of wing and difficult to b8g. The open Beason for this game lasts until December 1. Water fowl may also be killed now. .. . 3^^ THE next issue'of the CoNej lished by the American Busi Omaha, Neb., will contain ber of testimonials from s graduates of the A. B. C.

From the State Board of Equalization we learn that horses have decreased in numbers in this state50,000 per year for the past three years. Or, in other words, there are 150,000 less horses in Illinois than there were three years ago. This fact ought to advance the horse indus­ tries around us soon, as the shortage will soon be felt, especially as there are no colts being raised. A good horse is bound to command a good price in the near future. To THE EDITOR:--Since the publication of my conmunication in last, week's PLAINDEALER a number of friends have commented upon the suggestions offered and some have criticised the critique by stating that they regarded the last County Fair as quite a success. While I thought I was voicing the sentiment of others as well as my own, I find that some who may be regarded just as com­ petent to judge do not agree with me, and if they are satisfied I certainly should be, and as I intended no unjust c/iticism I cheerfully withdraw the stig- matic inference and hope that none will feel aggravated by my remarks. Regarding a Home Fair the suggestion seems to be well received, and the inti­ mations concerning the success of the last Fair only go to demonstrate that should such a scheme be approached there will be no difficulty in the way of making it a grand success. One suggestion more, however, I would like to offer at this time. If our people do not care to shoulder the responsibil­ ity of an individual display let us help the Woodstockites to developing the greatest County Fair ever held in this part of the state. F. M.

No Silver in Heaven, A good story is told of a youngster whose father is a red hot gold and McKinley man and believes in talking over the political situation in the bosom of his family. The youngster attends Sunday school. One day he opened up on his mother with: "Say, mamma, the streets of Heaven are all covered with gold ain't they ? " "Yes, dear." "And when you and I go there we will walk on them won't we?" "Yes, dear." "Well, mamma, if they were covered with silver we wouldn't walk on them, or go near them would we?" History sayeth not what the reply was but the youngster was pertectly willing to relinquish Heaven if paved with silver.

JST" A dispatch from Battle Creek, in speaking of a woman who is said to have fasted 1G4 days, says: Mrs. Ingram has kept up wonderfully under the great physical and mental strain. , But her will power and content­ ed disposition have done a great deal for her. Imagine a woman living 1G4 days on nothing but an occasional slice of^will power and a swallow or two of content­ ment! It is difficult to see what could have prevented Mrs. Ingram from be­ coming a hopeless dyspeptic or a victim of the gout. Now, however, that the nourishing qualities of will power and a contented disposition have been estab­ lished beyond a shadow of a doubt they should be found on every breakfast table in the land. With their aid the old cook book problem of how to feed a family of six on 49 cents a day, which has its vic­ tims in every incurable ward in the country, will become as simple and easy of solution as is the financial question to the country storekeeper. THE American Business College, Omaha Neb., has a .notice in the local columns of this paper offering a complete course of instruction in business branches by mail free of charge. To avail yourself of this liberal offer is the same as accepting a present of f 50. „ Mrs. Grundy Says. That the friendship of politicians is aB easily broken as Dresden china. That the summer fool is at his worst in an open boat with timid girls. That most Bostonians are credited with knowing more than they do. That the most important people in the world are those who mind their own business. ° That the Pecksniffs are very much in evidence at the religious seaside places. That incompetent mothers are to be seen in crowds at summer resort hotels. That some of the most gorgeously dressed women of to-day use the worst grammar. That the travelers who grumble most have the fewest comforts at home. That methods of economy practiced by fashionable people are very clever. Wind-up sale^at Evanson's. See Ad.

The Gold Democrats, or the Na­ tional Democratic party, as they call themselves, held their convention at Indianapolis Sept. 2d and 3d. Forty-one states and three territories were repre­ sented by over 800 delegates. Ex-Gov­ ernor Flower, of New York, was tempo­ rary chairman and made a notable speech. A gold-standard platform was adopted, and Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, was nominated for president, and Gen. S. B. Buckner, of Kentucky, for vice president. The convention, in the character of its delegates and the digni fied and orderly manner of. its proceed­ ings, was as unlike that at Chicago which nominated Bryan, as can well be imag­ ined.
