WILLIAM B. ANDERSON,

Perhaps among the forty or fifty candi
dates for congressional honors in Illinois
in November, no one will possess more
real claims to the position than Gen. vii
liam B. Anderson, of Washington county
the nominee of the Farmers Convention
Himself farmer of years experience and
success, he has, at the same time, given
close attention to State and National poll.
ties. In early life a jackson Democrat,
General Anderson always governed his
party predictions by the necessities Of
the occasion He espoused the cause of
the Union at the commencement of the re-
belllon, and serving gallantly and faithful
ly, was rewarded with a generals commits
sion.
When General Anderson espOused the
Union cause, all of Southern Illinois was
wavering in the balance between loyalty
and treason. His influence among wealthy
farmers and their sons was considerable
and contributed in large degree to the
success of the Union cause, At the close
OF the war he resumed his farmers pur-
suit only to be again brought into public
notice as a member of the Constitutional
Convention. In that body he was neither
a Democrat nor an independent He was
a turner's advocate; and the debates of
the Convention exhibit General Anderson
at that early day as firmly planted in the
breach between the people and the railway
corporations. His record in the Conyen.
ton is as good as any mans.
General Andersen is a splendid speci |
men of rugged man, and on the stump is
one of the best speakers in the State
His election is secured beyond a doubt.
and in him the people will find an able,
faithful representative Industrial Aoe.
This is the district now represented by
Judge Marshall, a Democratic salary grab
Der, and who has been nominated for re-
election. He was elected in 1872 by 2Ol5
,ver Gen. Raum, Republican but if the
bring out no candidate and
support Gen. Anderson this fall, Mar
shall will be laid on the shelf. If the Re.
publicans bring out a candidate the farm
srs will probably be defeated and Marshall i
elected. t

to that matter every day. A fine shade for
the children is desirable and the beauty of

this is lost by the neglect of persons elect

Before 3. O. Cropper, Police Magistrate.

Monday, Aug. 24.-On Saturday an ug-
ly looking brute, with scarcely rags enough
to cover his person, dilapidated shoes and
hat, was about the streets in half drunk
en- condition making an indecent exposure
Of his person to little girls wherever he
met any. Deputy Marshal Kimball took
him to jail, where he was searched. He
had no monev, but had a rock in his pocket
as well as brick in his hat. He gave his
name as Michael Kalaghan, and said he
was AZ years old F; that he came from York
State about year ago; and that he had
recently been at work in Hillsdale He
was fined $50 apd costs and sent back to
Jail. How it is that these vagabonds and
beasts contrive to get drunk without mon.
ey is problem which mo fellah can find

house where such creatures could be set
to breaking stone.

THE New PANACCA.- A.-Modern science
having demonstrated that alcohol is 'neith-
er food nor physc," but, on the contrary,
a species of poison, the introduction of a
potent tonic which is entirely free from it
is certainly a subject for congratulation.
DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BITrERs is a
medicine which may be fairly character
lied as an unobjectionable specific for
many distressing and dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore in
favor OF permitting the sale of alcohol for
medical purposes, are of opinion that Vim
EGAR BITTERs possesses all the efficacy as
an invigorant that has ever been even
claimed for spirituous stimulants. and on
this account, as well as because of the sim
gular success which has attended its use in
dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders of the
bowels, nervous diseases, general debility,
and all maladies growing out of intemper-
ance, they warmly recommend it as re-
storative and Alternative of surprising ex-

OBJECT OF THE ,0RA.N0ERs.

OBJECT OF THE ,GIeAN0BR& 10y
At the recent meeting of Changers
at Mankato, at which some 800 were
present, the Grand Master discussed
the objects Of the order, which he
said were fourfold, as follows:
First and foremost the Grange is
the school Of the farmer.
Through the instrumentality Of the
stated meeting of the subordinate
oranges, with their lectures and dis
cussions, interchange of views, opin-
ions, and experiences books, pamph-
let's, and newspapers, together with
the attendant and inevitable inter-
change of social amenities and frater-
nal courtesies, our order is destined to
make more intelligent and better far
mers and citizens.
The second object is the promotion
of social enjoyment and the cultiva-
ton of the social graces, and the
Grand Master showed that the Grange
is admirably adapted to these purpo-
SEES.
TO dispense charity is another of
the leading objects Of the order, and
we should love it, and cherish it, and
defend it, because it provides a plan
tor the systematic, sure, and speedy
relief of those amongst lis who, from
any cause, need assistance. Oppor-
tunities are constantly occurring, even
amongst that class considered the
well-to-do class, for the exercise of
charity; not often, it is true, in the
form Of pecuniary aid, but moro usual
ly in the form of help rendered in
cases Of sickness or other disability.
In discussing the fourth object,
which he termed "the business arm -
of the order, the Grand Master said
that the farmer was still 1T the
mercy Of horde Of spectators, ware
house men, and carriers, combined in
monopolies and rings, who fix the
price Of his produce at their pleasure,
taking to themselves the principal
profits, and leaving to him but little
more than the bare cost Of produce
ton.
