Attacked at Night.Dr. J. H. Dye, of Fairbury, makes a

trip to Cullom each Friday, and on re­turning on Friday evening, since the change in time on the Illinois Central, has to stay over night here. Last Fri­day night he came down on tho late freight and, while on his way to the Cot­tage House, was attacked by two men just after leaving the Central depot. Their familiarity and peculiar actions at once put the doctor on his guard. They asked a number of questions and kept drawing nearer him, one being on either side. When one of the fellows asked where Chatsworth w?is and took hold of Dr. Dye's shoulder, the doctor evidently thought he had waited long enough. He dealt the man a heavy blow on the head with a chair head-rest attachment, which he carried, and sent him head­long in the ditch, and turning round just in time to strike the other one a similar, and about as effective, blow.

Washington, Dec. 27.—The house Thursday responded to the appeal of the president by passing a tariff bill, the operation of which is lim ited to two and a half years, and which is de­signed to raise $40,000,000 for the re­lief of the treasury. The bond bill ■Will be passed Friday. The vote was on party lines, w ith two exceptions. Tf O republicans all voted for the bill eircept Hartnian (Mont.), who did not vote, and the democrats and populists against it, save Newlands (pop.. Nev.), who voted in favor of the measure.

The especial order under which the bill was brought to a vote at five o’clock in the evening, after three and a half hours of debate, was iron-clad in its character, and compelled the members to adopt or reject it w ithout opportu­nity of oifering amendments of any kind.

Immediately after the roiwiing ox ihe journal Mr. Dingley, chairman of Ihe ways arid means committee, reported from that committee the revenue bill whiqh the speaker forthw ith referred t o the committee of the whole house.

T h e C o m m itte e ’s R ep o rt.In presenting the bill to the house

Mr. Dingley mude the foliowing report ©f the ways and means committee:

“The com m ittee on w ays and m eans to whom w as referred so m uch of th e presi­d en t’s ann u a l m essage and so m uch of the an n u a l report of th e sec re ta ry of the

^ treasury as re la tes to revenue and the condition of the tre a su ry and also the p resid en t’s special m essage p resen ting th e u rgency of Im m ediate action of con­gress hi a direction ca lcu la ted to bring relief, report, th a t the com m ittee ap p rec i­a te the seriousness of the situ a tio n and the Im portance of prom pt rem edies so fa r as congress can give them ."

The repo rt then goes on to review the grow ing "dellciency of the p ast tw o years and a h a lf" anil say s th a t “ if th e con­sequences of suet, a chronic deflolency were only the necessity of borrow ing money to m eet cu rren t expenses in tim e of peace, even th is woud afford ab u n d an t reason for lnci easing the revenue. B u t the con­sequences are m ore wido reach ing th an th a t unsuttlcicncy of revenue h as m ade It necessary to use the leilcem ed United S ta tes legal tender no tes to pay cu rren t expenditures, and th u s to supply addi­tional m eans to draw gold from th e g reen ­back redem ption fund—in short, to c rea te th e ‘endless chain ’ of which th e secre­ta ry of the trea su ry com plains and which has m ade U necessary to sell Issue a fte r Issue of bonds to replenish the reserve. W ant to Increase R evenues at40,000,000.

"Y our com m ittee believes th a t It Is the duty of the house of rep resen ta tiv es to w hich body the constitu tion com m its the Inaugura tion of revenue bills, to fram e and pass a m easure th a t will yield not far from 440,000,000—suillcient to pu t an end to the deficiency—and to do th is w ith o u t de­lay, too, leaving to o th ers w hose cooper­ation Is required to finally place such legis­lation on the s ta tu te books to m eet th e re ­sponsibility In th e ir own way. And the p resid en t's specal m essage, se ttin g forth so pointedly the seriousness of th e s itu a ­tion and the necessity for the p rom ptest action only em phasizes the d u ty of the nouse.

"Y our com m ittee have not undertaken a general revision of th e tariff on p ro tec­tion lines, as a m ajo rity hope can be done in 1897-99, no t only because they know th a t sued tariff legislation would s tan d no chance of becoming a law , but also because general ta riff revision would requ ire m any m onths and the need is more revenue at once. W e believe, how ever, th a t th is need of m ore revenue Is so g re a t th a t a simple m easure Increasing all du ties of th e d u tia ­ble list, and tak ing from the free lis t of the present ta riff a few a rtic le s th a t w ere alw ays on the du t.ab le lis t un til A ugust 27,1894, and which have alw ays been im p o rtan t revenue producers, and lim iting the opera tion of such legislation to ab o u t two y ea rs and a ha lf—u n til the presen t deficiency of revenue Is overcom e—ought to receive the approval even of those who do not favor p ro tective duties, on patrio tic grounds; and th a t the fac t th a t it m ay incidentally encourage the production of m any a rtic les th a t ws require a t home instead of ab road will not be regarded as a ground of opposition under p resen t circum stances.

A H o r izo n ta l In c r e a s e o f D u tie s .“B ut while we have p resen ted in the

b rief m easure repo rted a horizon tal In­crease of 15 per cent, o f ex isting du ties on all the S chedu les bu t two. w hich Is an addition of less th an eight per cent, to the average advalorem ra te — giving about $16,000,000 revenue from th a t source; yet m ore th a n $25,000,000 of th e $40,000,000 which Is estim ated th is bill wjll add to our a n ­nual revenue, will come m ainly from wool, w hich Is taken from the free list and given a m odera te d u ty , and from m an u fac tu res of wool, w hich are given a com pensatory du ty equ ivalen t to the d u ty of wool (w hich Is a lw ay s neces­sa ry w nen a du ty Is placed on wool) In order to give the wool gi ower th e benefit, and m ake It possible to m an u fac tu re woolens a t home.

"T he bill reported by our com m ittee p ro ­poses to m ake the d u ty on im ported c lo th ­ing wool 60 per cent, of the d u ty Imposed by the a c t of 1690, w hich would give un equ ivalen t of 6 6-10 of a cen t per pound on unw ashed wool, o r about 40 per cent, ad valorem . This reduction from the du ty of th e a c t of 1890 has been m ade because the resto ra tion of th e lull d u ty In th a t ac t m ight seem to be too g rea t a change from the present law to those w hose co­operation It Is necessary to secure In or­der to have any leg isla tion and not a m easure of w hat m igh t be done when all b ranches of the governm ent a re In harm ony w ith the m a jo rity of th e house on protection lines. The du ty on m an u ­fac tu re s of wool Is lnci eased by a spe­cific d u ty equivalent to Ifie d u ty on wool.

“T he d u ty on carpe t wools Is le ft a t the 82 per centum ad valorem w here It w as placed in 1890. T his Is a purely revenue duty , a s we raise very few ca rp e t wools. Such lum ber as w as placed on th e free list by the ac t o f 1890, w ithout th e s lig h t­es t Justification, is restored to the du tiab le list, bu t w ith a du ty of only 60 p er cent. Of the du ties provided by the a c t of 1S90— giving an equivalent of only ab o u t 15 per cent. Such a reduction from th e low ra te s of 1890 Is Justified only on th e ground th a t the object of your com m ittee has been to fram e a bill m ainly on revenue grounds, in the hope th a t It would secure th e a p p ro v a l o f th o se in official p lace

The p residen t and the sec re ta ry of the tre a su ry had both be­com e alarm ed, and the p residen t had ask ed the house, n o tw ith stan d in g it w as opposed to him politically, to come to his aid. The tre a su ry w as being rapidly de­pleted, and since the dem ocracy had come in to control of th e executive branch of the governm ent th ere had been frequen t bond Issues. The m easu re a t p resen t under consideration w as not a general ta riff m easure, but an em ergency bill. R efe r­rin g to Mr. C risp ’s critic ism of the c ra c k ­ing of the p a r ty whip, he said the W ilson bill w ith 600 am endm en ts had been passed th ro u g h the house w ith b u t two h o u rs’ d eb a te under a rule reported by Mr. Crisp him self. H e appealed to the house to rise to th e pa trio tic level necessary to m eet th e em ergency and come to the p residen t's aid.

Mr. T u rner (dem., Ga.) called a tten tio n to th e fac t th a t both the p residen t and the se c re ta ry of th e tre a su ry (whom he lex- tolled as the g re a te s t se c re ta ry of the tre a su ry since the day of A lexander H am ­ilton) had given congress th e h ighest a s ­su ran ce th a t th e re w as am ple revenue In th e treasu ry . B oth the p residen t and sec re ta ry of the trea su ry had pointed ou t th e evil In the financial s itu a tio n and Its rem edy. E verybody understood the s tre ss ex isting . And w h a t w as to be the re ­sponse of congress? B efore all rem edial legislation w as to be pu t a proposition to still fu rth e r bleed and ta x the A m erican people.

H en d erso n A g a in .M r. H enderson closed th e debate In a

speech which aroused the republican side to g re a t en thusiasm . T his was, he said, a business m a tte r for a business people and should be m et In a business way. T he republicans w ere not a fra id to assum e responsibility . H is side had been taun ted w ith w orking on a holiday. If the s itu a ­tion dem anded It they would w ork on Sun­day. [R epublican applause.] D em ocratic policies had em ptied the trea su ry . T hey would fill It. T hey would r ig h t the ship of s ta le th a t had been plunging h a lf­seas under since the dem ocratic p a rty a s ­sum ed the bridge. A dem ocratic p residen t h ad sent to congress a d eclara tion of w ar, and th ree days a fte rw ard had filed a p e ti­tion of bankrup tcy .

"W e are not for w a r."co n tin u ed Mr. H en­derson. “The p residen t dem ands money W e will give it to him. B u t we have not declared w ar, a lthough w a r will find ps ready . I,et not the business In terests o ' th e coun try sh iver before th is tem pest in a teapo t. The coun try has asse ts . The re­publican p a rty h as re tu rned to power In the leg isla tive b ranch of the governm ent. I t will soon have th e executive and then never ag a in will ou r in teg rity be p u t in question ."

T he dem ocrats, he said, had no rig h t to com plain of w hip and sp u r and gag a f te r th e ir proceeding on the W ilson bill.

A t th is point Mr. Rtnney (rep., N. C.) a f te r first s ta tin g th a t a s a republican he favored the m easure w hich It w as proposed to pass, asked if th is rule would no t extend to dom ocrats the prlv llage of offering am end­m en ts before the vote w as taken .

" I t will no t,” replied Mr. H enderson. The dem ocrats applauded th is reply and Mr. C risp affirmed th a t the tru th regard ing the purpose of th e rule had only been h a lf elicited by th is question and response. I ts object, he said, w as not only to gag the dem ocrats, b u t to prevent repub licans from offering am endm ents w hich they m ight deem wise. I t w as an a tte m p t to m ake the republicans a p p ea r unanim ous.

C risp A n sw ers D in g le y .Mr. Crisp, who followed Mr. D ingley, said

th e la t te r had asse rted th a t th is e x tra o r­d inary bill had been p rec ip ita ted upon the co u n try and th is e x tra o rd in a ry spec­tacle c rea ted by th e p resid en t's m essage. In m ak ing th is assertion Mr. D ingley had not observed his usual care.

If, sa id Mr. Crisp, the presid en t's m essage had been the cause of th is effort a t leg isla­tion, the legislation a ttem p ted should be In the line of the p resid en t’s suggestions. I t had been claim ed on th e o th e r side th a t th ere w as a deficiency In the revenues, but thv wan w holly w ithou t officialau th o rity . The sec re ta ry of the tre a su ry had positively s ta ted th a t th ere w as suffi­cien t m oney In the tre a su ry to m eet all ob­liga tions and th a t th e re w as no necessity for Im posing additional burdens In the way of tax a tio n .

I t w as true , Mr. Crisp confessed, th a t the daily receipts w ere sm aller th an tho dally expenses, bu t th e re w as a surp lus In the v a u lts of the tre a su ry sufficient to m eet an y probable deficiency th ree tim es over. I t w as not a question of bo rrow ­ing m oney, bu t a question of using an a sse t w hich we have a lready—a question of g e ttin g money to pile up in the treasu ry .

Mr. Crisp then proceeded to a rg u e th a t the M cK inley law had been responsible for w h a tev er deficiency there w as. He Instanced the fac t th a t the receip ts under th is law had fallen off until d u rin g the four m on ths preceding the Inaugura tion of Mr. Cleveland th e re w as a deficiency of over $4,000,000. T his sh o rtag e had, ho said, occurred under a law w hich w as th e pecu liar pet of the republican p a rty ; a law w hich no republican had seen fit to criticise, possibly because of th e nam e It bore; a law typical of the republican party , so fram ed as to decrease the re ­ceip ts of th e tre a su ry and Increase those of p riv a te Individuals favored by its pro­visions I t w as under tills bill th a t the revenue had fallen. F u rth e rm o re , he had understood Mr. D ingley to say th a t there had been no exporta tion of gold previous to the in au gura tion of the dem ocratic ad ­m in istra tion , w hereas as a m a tte r of fac t m ore th a n $58,000,000 of gold had been sen t ab road d u ring the nine m onths im m edi­a te ly preceding M arch. 1S93.

A P e r t in e n t Q u estio n .Mr. H opkins (rep.. 111.) asked w hy. If the

o th e r side did not believe th e p end irg bill would relieve the situa tion , had they not suggested some rem edy? W hy did not Mr. C risp or Mr. McMlllin offer some sug­gestion In com m ittee? W ny had they not, if they desired to uphold the a rm s of the ir p resident, form ulated some plan w hich, In th e ir opinion, would bring relief ? T hey had done nothing. They offered nothing. They w ere In the ir r ig h t place again . They w ere sim ply In opposition to every th ing republican. [Applause.]

Mr. G rosvenor said he yielded his sup­po rt to th e p resen t bill because It p ro­posed an increase of $40,000,000 In revenue and to th a t ex ten t would increase the p ro ­tection of A m erican Industries.

A fter som e brief rem ark s by Mr. Arnold (rep., P a.) and Mr. K nox (rep., Mass.) Mr. D olliver (rep., Ia.) closed the debate for the m ajo rity . H is speech w as a m ost eloquent effort. As he spoke the repub­licans crow ded about him , and th e re was m uch applause and en thusiasm .

Mr. Dolliver took his seut an d the bill w as pu t upon its passage, th e vote be­ing tak en by yeas and nays. I t w as passed —206 to 81.

R ep o r t on th e B o n d B ill .The report ou the bond bill says that

the secretary of the treasury now has the authority, under the resumption act of 1875, to issue and sell ten-year five per cent, bonds and 30-year lour per cent, bonds to maintain the funds lor the redemption of United States notes, and that he has sold $100,000,000 of the former description of bonds, but u small amount of the latter descrip­tion in the last two years, and as lie an­nounces his intention to avail himself of the authority given by the resump­tion act and sell more high-rate and long-term bonds if necessary, the only question is whether it is nof clearly for the public interests that he should have authority to sell a lower rate and shorter-term bond.

The committee thinks it is clearly in the public interest that he should have this authority and adds:

"In g ran tin g th is au th o rity , how ever, we have included in the bill a provision th a t the proceeds of bonds sold be used ex­clusively for redem ption purposes, our ob­jec t being to secure auch a separa tion of the redem ption fund from the o rd inary cash In the tre a su ry as will m ain ta in and pro tect the revenue.

“ We also provlue th a t such bonds shall be offered for sale in such a m an n er as to Invite Investm ent am ong the m asses of the people.”

Of the certificates of indebtedness the report says:

"In o u r Judgm ent the sec re ta ry of the trea su ry should a lw ays have such au th o rtty a s th is to m eet tem porary defi­ciencies th a t a re liable to arise. U nless this —ith o rity Is given the s e c ru a ry will indi rectly use the proceeds of bonds sold under the resum pton ac t for redem ption p u r­poses to m eet the deficiency In the revenue as he has been doing the la s t tw o years and a h a lf .” __________________

Dk Witt's Little Early Riskiw for biliousness, indigestion, constipation. A small pill a prompt cure.—H. M. Bangs,

In the last four years the Apierioan poople have paid out for bicycles not less than $300,000,000—at the rate of $50,000,000 per annum.

P rivate earthquakes are fashion able at Maine quarries. At Dodlin a few days ago a big blast threw a mass of rock weighing 1,800 tons a distance of B0 feet.

Scientists estimate that every year a layer equal to 14 feet deep of the sur­face of a)l oceans and other bodies of water is taken up into the atmosphere as vapor. ________________

P iles of people have piles, but De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve will cure them. When promptly applied it cures soalds and burns without the slightest pain.— SI. .SS. Bangs.

Counting the Mississippi and Mis­s o u r i as one stream, the total length is

over 4,000 miles. Considered separate­ly the Mississippi is 2,816 miles and the Missouri 3,047.

A man of Bath is the discoverer of » process whereby clinkers, engine ashes and other waste material can be converted into paste, and then formed, without burning, into bricks for build­ing purposes.

O n e M in u t e C o u g h C u k e is rightly named. It affords instant relief from suffering when afflicted with a severe cough or cold. It acts on the throat, bronchial tubes, and lungs and never fails to give immediate relief.—H. M. Bangs. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

N. T. P h i l l i p p s , reporter o n the E n ­terprise, of Barre, Vt., has resigned be­cause he is tired o f night work. As Mr.

An odd instrument has just been in­vented combining a fan and an ear trumpet. The deaf lady, when she wishes to hear what is being said, folds up her fan into a shape somewhat like the paper packet used by grocers, and applies the small end to her ear.

Ip suffering with piles, it will interest you to know that Do Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve will cure them. This medicine is a specific for all complaints of this char­acter, and if instructions (which are sini| le) are carried out, a cure will re­sult. We have tested this in numerous cases, and always with like results. It never fails.—H. M. Bangs.

R o u m a n ia is the highest taxed coun­try in the world. Every bottle of for­eign wine has to pay a shilling duty. A case of whisky went from the army and navy stores the other day.

It will be an agreeable surprise to persons subject to attacks of bilious colic to learu that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In many in­stances the attack may be prevented by taking this remedy as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by H. M. Bangs,druggist. \

N ot a few who read what Mr. Robert Rowls, of Hollands, Va., has to say be­low, will remember their own experience under like circumstances: “Last winter I had la grippe which left me in a low state of health, I tried numerous reme­dies, none of which did me any good, until I was induced to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. The first bottle of it.so far relieved me that I was enabled to attend to my work,and the second bottle effected a cure.” For sale at 25 and 50 Cents per bottle by H.M. Bangs, druggist.

LUJUOR THAT CAUSES FITS.Strength of the Whiskey’Sold in an Ari- / zona Mining Cutup.

“Yes. that’s fair whiskey," said Colo­nel “B ill’’ Avershidu as he threw his black slouch on the bar, “but it ain’t nothin' like what we're used to out In the western oountry.

“They serve noso paint out in roy camp in Arizona that is strong enough to walk Hloue. Let me tell you how 1 was introduced to it and ils virtues.

“ I wasn’t a tenderfoot exactly but I was new to the camp,’’ ho said to a Chi­cago M ail reporter. “I walked up to the bar, ordered whiskey and planked down tuy dust. The barkeeper set out a big, black bottle and a thick bottomed glass Beside the bottle on the bar he carefully laid a new whisk broom. That struck me. I didn’t know whether it was a new coupon scheme or a suggestion to me that my clothes needed dusting. At any rate I was not going to play the tenderfoot, so I simply waited to see how the next customer would-fare.

“H^Jtnppened to be a big and tough- looking cowboy. He put down a gold piece and ordered whiskey in a tone of voice at once expressive and terrifying. The barkeeper obeyed his command, and I was glad to see that a whisk broom was banded over the bar with his drink.

l i iu uv/tY Uvjf a f iu fr v M »»’> a m j/t i .*m »tilled his glass with the poison, raised it to his lips and drained it at a single gulp. Then he picked up the whisk broom, walked over to the corner of the room, brushed the sand off the floor, laid down in the clean space and had a tit.

“ I merely mention this fact, gentle­men,” concluded the colonel, "to show you that it is a pretty strong article of whiskey we use out in my country."

And nobody denied it.

The Cause of Old Maids.The professor of natural science at

•Ann Arbor was discussing the process of fertilizing plants by means of insects carrying pollen from one plant to an­other. and told them, after Darwin, that the old maids were the ultimate cause of it all. The humblebees carry the pollen, the fleldmice eat tho humblebees. Therefore, the more fleldmice, the fewer humblebees and the less pollen and variation of plants. But cats devour fleldmice and old maids protect cats. Therefore, the more old maids, the more cats, the fewer fieldmice, the more bees. Hence old maids are the cause of it all. Thereupon a sophomore with a single eyeglass, an English umbrella, a boxcoat, with his trousers rolled up at the bottom, arose and asked:

“I sa a-ay, professor, what is the cause of—ah—of old maids, don’t you know?”

“Perhaps Mias Jones can tell you,” suggested the professor.

“Dudes,” said Miss Jones sharply and without a moment’s hesitation.

There was silence in the room for the space of thirty seconds, after which the lecture was resumed.

The Discovery Saved His Life.Mr. (I Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers-

ville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physi­cians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and be­gan its use and from the first dose be­gan to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won’t keep store or house without it.” Get a free trial bottle at J. F. Sullivan’s Drug Store.

Delightful.An exchange says a cigarette is a little

roll of paper, tobacco and drugs, with a small tire at one end and a large fool at the other. Some of its chief enjoyments are condensed nightmare, tits, cancers of the lip and stomach, spinal toeningi tis, softening of the brain, funeral pro cessions and families shrouded in gloom. There are plenty of subjects left, how ever, who are perfectly willing to under­go the trials of such a nature for the sake of putting on a certain amount of style.

Cure for Headache.As a remedy for all forms of Head­

ache Electric Bitters has proved to be the very best. It effects a permanent cure and the most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield to its influence. We urge all who are afflicted to procure a bottle, and give this remedy a fair trial. In cases of habitual constipation Electric Bitters cures by giving the needed tone to the bowels, and few cases long resist the use of this medicine. Try it once. Large bottles only fifty cents at J.

“ Since childhood, I have been afflicted with scrofulous boils and sores, which caused me terrible suffering. Physicians were unable to helpjne, and I only grew worse

Bottlebinding.You can’t judge of the quality of a book by the binding,

nor tell the contents by the title. You look for the name of the author before you buy the book. The name of Robert Louis Stevenson (for instance) on the back guaran­tees the inside of the book, whatever the outside may be.

There’s a parallel between books and bottles. The binding, or wrapper, of a bottle is no guide to the quality of the medicine the bottle contains. The title on the bottle is no warrant for confidence in the contents. It all depends on the author’s name. Never mind who made the bottle. Who made the medicine ? That’s the question.

Think of this when buying Sarsaparilla. It isn’t the binding of the bottle or the name of the medicine that you ’re to go by. That’s only printer’s ink and paper I The questiop is, who made the medicine ? W hat’s the author’s name ? When you see Ayer’s name on a Sarsaparilla bot­tle, that’s enough. The name Ayer guarantees the best, and has done so for 50 years.

(SJiatswotth flam faa'tr.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1896.

1 . J j 'iA PECULIAR DISAPPEARANCE.

A Stranger*! Strange Actions and Uu-usual Manners.

On Sahday morning, Dec. 15, a stran­ger alighted from the 0:20 a. in. train and, going immediately to the City Ho­tel, asked the proprietor, W m . Gardner, how long it would be before breakfast was ready. On being informed that it would be ready in a short time he seated himself and, picking up a pa^er, com menced to read. He ate his breakfast and paid for two meals, saying he would remain to dinner, which he did, and dur­ing the intervening time he talked to no one, but sat and smoked and read, part of the time being fast asleep in his chair near the stove. He stayed to supper and, shortly after eating it, stepped out upon the streets, since which time noth­ing has been seen nor heard of his were- a bouts.

The peculiar circumstances surround­ing the case are the facts that, although the evening was rainy and muddy, heiuiitiu iu iuku wiiii inuj ins uitiuk utmvciovercoat and his overshoes, also leaving a leather grip, or club bag, which con­tained a cheap emit and handkerchief, part of a box of “La Prudence” cigars (a cheap variety), and a shot sack con taining about 170 pennies, a dime and a nickel. Nearly every pocket in the coat in the grip, as well as the overcoat, con­tained matches. The man was about five feet and a halt tall and weighed about 140 or 145 pounds. He wore a

i dark moustache, about which there ap pears to be a difference of opinion. Some who saw him say it was of a sandy color, while others say it was almost black, mixed with gray. The clothing he wore was of good quality and he did not have the appearance of a dissipated man. Any ibformation regarding his identity or whereabouts would be gladly received by those whose attention he attracted and whose curiosity has been aroused by his mysterious actions. The man did not register, which is not unusual where guests stay for meals only.

ages of the pupils of the public schools who attained grades of 80 per cent, or better in the first term examination, held in December:

\Fo><) From a Former Resident.Keuk a , Fla., Dec., 1895.

M r . J a s A. S m i t h , Chatsworth, III — Dear Sir:—We find the Plaindealer’s year has expired and I enclose the mon­ey for 1890. The past year has been an eventful one for us. Besides having our orange trees cut to the ground Mr. Leavitt was thrown from a wagon, dis­locating his right wrist, last January, and the hand is nearly useless, and al­ways will be. The trees made a tine growth the past season and we hope, in a few years, to recover from that calam ­ity. With respects to all, I remain,

M r s . J. O . L e a v i t t .

Mortgagee’s Male.On Wednesday, January 8, at one

o’clock p. m , in Chatsworth, I will sell at public auction the following property: Four heud of horses, 1 wagon, 2 cows, 1 buggy, 1 oorn-plantor, 1 set double har­ness, 2 “ Big Ingun'’ sulky plows, 1 mower, 1 seeder, 1 set canvas for Mc- Coriilick binder. J o h n B r o w n ,

The yard and round-house force will remain tho samu as now. if. the change takes place about twelve or fifteen families will have to move and houses will not rent at Chi­cago prices.

The night express on the Wabash be­tween St. Louis and Chioago was in a collision in the tunnel between the un­ion depot and the bridge on Tuesday night. The Wabash train left ihe union

depot on time, but stalled in the tunnel on account of the air under the baggage oar “atioking.” The air-cylinders were “bled” to release the brakes, and the train was just about to start when tbs Diamond Speoial of the Illinois Central By. run into the rear of the train. The fireman on the I. C. engine was killed instautly and the rear sleeper of the Wa­bash and the engine on the Central bad­ly wrecked. The acoident was caused by the operator at the east end of the tunnel going to sleep, and when he awoke he supposed the tunnel was olear and so reported it to the operator at the west end of the tunnel, who allowed the I. C train to proceed.
