4 Day in the Country.

1t being the custom of Presidents, Cabinet Off

TO take II vacation, cut stick and 20 to the
country for a season, we concluded last Satul day
to make ourselves great by taking Vacation.
Accordingly we borrowed speedy rn. OF John
Mitchell, secured gun, and with Bent Delano
and his dog for chums, whired out of town at
the rate of two miles an hour The course we
took was northeast, and the distance Travelled
was about twenty miles. At noon We followed
the example Of all great men and ate dinner; in
other words,we accepted the hospitality of ii. II.
Dennis, and got outside of an elegant repast
After dinner we visited that prince of good fell

Burglary,

On Wednesday night the houses Of DR.. Cam
field and Mr.. Young were gone through, and an
entrance partially effected to Col Hapemon's
residence all in east Ottawa. At Mr.. Young's the
burglars secured a watch and chain, and at DIR.
CamfeldS his silverware. They were evidently
frightened away from the doctors residence, as
IT their flight they dropped the articles Ia
Ken. and they were restored to the doctor by the
finder on Thursday morning. At Col. Hape
mans window was opened, but as nothing has
thus far been missed, Il is presumed they
considered it unsafe to enter.
This is hut the beginning of what our citizens
may expect during the next few weeks, and 1t
behooyes every family to become their own pro
tectors. There is no use Of getting excited or
goirg INTO histories, but look the danger square
in the face and prepare to meet it maniully Sc
cure weapon with intent to use it, don't rely on
sticks and stones, o. put your trust in vigilance
of the night po!!:e, but get you either gun or
revolver, load ii properly, and shoot 1t accord
ingly.
The experience Of other cities is that, with
every large gathering of weeks duration, there
comes mob Of expert rascals. and the same
cities have also found by bitter experience that
"self preservation is the best law of nature" as
welrGs tie FIRST.
While il is our policy to advise and encourage
q proper obedience to the powers that be, and
while, as q general rule, the officers of the law
arc rs proper executors we also believe at such
times as those which are inevitably coming. that
i'll jsuty we owe the officers, ourselves, our
neighbors and the good men of the city, to assist
the officers in the execution of law by just such
4 course as werccommend above.

Obituary.


DIED-In this city, on Saturday evening, Aug.
2Sth, Of dysentcry, MARSHALL N. VAN DoREN,
son of the late james T. Van Doren, aged 10
years
There has not, In a long time, been death in
Ottawa which among our people has caused
more general sorrow. The father having died
year ago, the son was left the only protector and
stay of the family, consisting OF an invalid moth
er an infant brother and sister. He was one of
the best boys we ever knew; in school hard stu
dent and always well up in his class; among his
associates natural leader, yet Of such rigid prin-
nciples Of honor and recttude, and such
exemplary bearing, that his salutary influence
among them was potabla and predominant
Open hearted manly and generous; of fine
physique and robust frame, the picture of
animal health and yigor, his sudden decease
he was sick hut three or four days--was Il
shock as painful as it was unexpected, not
only to large circle OF relatives, but to our en-,
tire community. For year or more he had been
communicate Of the Baptist church, and his
daily walk was exceptionally consistent with
such an exalted profession.

Thus showed the figures, and we learned Ions
ago that Figures won't lie" Consequently W,
babe our hospitable friends good night, with
promise to come again.
THE CROPS.
During our drive and hunt, we had an excel
lent opportunity to look at the crops and Judge
for ourselves of the prospects. Oats all harvest
ed, and in several places had been threshed
Those having done their threshing informed IL.
that the yield would average about so bushels
per acre. The corn crop promises to be the
heaviest for several years. a very heavy crop Of
stalk, and so far as We saw was well cared. With
three weeks more of good weather, without frost
corn Will average considerably over fifty bushels
per acre. Potatoes are an enormous crop, as
well as all kinds OF garden vegetables. We saw
several orchards and should judge that about
one tree out of 10 or II had some fruit on It.
We were excellently pleased with the kind re.
ception extended to us by our country friends,
and hope TO avail ourselves of other opportuni.
ties to accept their many kind invitations to Wis.
it them at their homes.

We desire to announce that we have made all

business men who may want job work done by
State Fair time. We have added largely to our

before and the week Of the fair. Guaranteeing en-
tire satisfaction both in work and price, we ore,

A young man by the name OF VIM. Graham,
aged % years, a step.son of Fred Richards, an
old citizen of the county, committed suicide on
Thursday, by hanging himself in the barn OF
Mr.. Richards, four miles north of Streator.
1t appears that Graham had suffered since a
child with weakness of the brain, and being
conscious that he was regarded by many OF his
associates as weak minded, had on several occa-
sions expressed himself as wishing he was dead
For several weeks or months he has associated
himself with low class in Streator, and was ap-
parently fast becoming depraved. lie left home
on Moadoy, went to Streator, and is supposed to
have returned home Wednesday night, and was
found early Thursday morning hanging in the
barn, dead. The deceased was possessed Of some
5000 worth Of property, aud was without enc
mics.
An inquest was held upon the body by o. H.

NORTH CARoLINIANs.-Owingl largely no doubt
to the heat of the weather, the concert OF the
" North Carolinlans,' band of negro melodists
at the Methodist church on Monday evening
was Tery thinly attended, and the singing, in
consequence, was rather tame and .piritlcss. II
is unquestionablc, however, that while the com.
pany had apparently lost in spirit and Viyacity
since their former concert at the same place
their voices had greatly improved Mr.. johnson
as q hasso, has few supcriors anywhere, while the
lady next to him,---we don't know her ndme,-
had as sweet soprano voice as We ever heard
The truth is, their voices are getting too fine fol
the kind Of music they are singing.
