Egged.

Egged. etfs ~
w. E. Morgan, of Tiffin, an itin.
Grant doctor who dispenses to the
people two or three kinds of "cure-
alls,' was treated to an egg-nog, or
eggs on the noggin, made up of very
venerable eggs, Wednesday evening
last. The DIR. has been in the habit
of visiting here semi occasionally in
company with areprobate who blacks
himself, mounts box and causes dis
cordant sounds to issue from a crack
ed banjo, while his employer sells
health in ounce bottles, to certain
confding persons troubled with aches
and pains. A number of the boys
got dlsgusted with the DR.. and his
pimp and had threatened to egg them
two or three times previous to the
last visit, but had been persuaded
from doing so. However, Wednes
night they "went for him. as he was
selling medicine opposite the Ameri-
can House, and showered a pefect
storm of rotten eggs on him. He
couldn't stand the smell of the ammu-
milton and fed for his room. Thurs
day morning he and his white "nig-
ger" left town.
We deprecate any such proceeding,
but think if it must take place, a
.quack doctor is the proper recipient.

Rev. j. H. Wilson, the agent, has
placed on our table finely printed,
well bound book entitled "Origin and
History of the Books of the Bible

and a reading of the table of con
tents we should consider it a mos
valuable work to the Bible student
The book contains nearly 6O,
pages, is neatly illustrated, and Cal

BENTON ITEMS.
MISCELLANEOUS,

Our usually stirring village has
been somewhat dull for the past few
weeks, as farmers have been very
busy harvesting. The bulk of the
wheat crop has been taken of, and
has proved to be good. Oats look
well, and an unusual large crop was
sown. l have observed by expert
ence that the past few days have
been hot enough to make hands i'll
harvest field hunt shade trees. The
thermometer has been as high as llO
deg, in the sun. If that "othel
place" is any hotter than last Satur
day was, we would, of choice, prefer
going to our "new possessions and
while away our summer days sliding
down Ice mountains.

GooD JOKE ON GEORGE NoRRIs-A week
ago the Chicago Times mentioned the fact that
the delegates to the Republican National Conven-
tion appointed from North Carolina were negroes,
and on Tuesday it announces the arrival of the
"dusky" delegation in Chicago. Bat imagine
the litter among our Ottawa people on seeing
prominently among the names of this North Car
olina delegation that of our former honored fell
low citizen, Geo. II. Norris! The fact that Mr. N
actually is at present resident of North Caro-
lima, a,d arrived at Chicago in company with
the aforesaid delegation, coupled with the fur
thsr fact that his complexion is far from being
over fair, made tho mistake of the Times all the
more natural. But Mr.. N. is not delegate to
the republican convention, black or white-on the
contrary, he is, as he always was, straight out
and-out democrat, and nothing shorter.

THE DEx1H or Mr.. JACOB WKAvER.-We
mentioned in our last, in connection with q ne
tics Of the Methodist Chicago Railroad Excur-
sion, the accidental death of Mr.. Weaver, of the
town Of Ophir. We had heard but . rumor Of
it, and had no means, at the time, Of getting the
particulars for eur last weeks issue. We learn
since, that the unfortunate man was Mr.. Jacob
Weaver, Of Prairie Center, "a years Of age. He
had gone to Chicago on the 9th to visit some
friends, from thence to Aurora, thence back to
Chicago. and thence, on Monday Of last week, to
Joliet On Tuesday he seems TO have gone to
The depot TO take the for Ottawa, but getting
to the wrong depot, took the up train on the
Chicago & Alton road At Summit station,
probably finding his mistake, he seems to haye
attempted to get off the cars, but fell, and the
train passed over him. a freight train passing
up soon Afterwards, he was seen lying by the side
Of the track. Some persons went back and found
him with the back Of his head badly crushed, but
still alive. He was taken to Chicago and placed
in hospital, where he died on Thursday. His
name and residence were ascertained from papers
in his pocket so that his relatives were duly ad.
vised of his fate, and on Friday his remains were
brought to Ottawa, and from here taken to Prai-
rie Center for interment.
