What with getting ready for the Centen-
NAL opening junket and the impeachment
trial, Congress has done little legislative
business during the last week, and yester-
day, but twenty-onc senators appeared in
the chamber, and both Senate and House
posted off to Philadelphia.
The impeachment trial has moved u lit
tie Ex-senator Carpenter made the best
argument for the defence against the juris-
diction of the Senate, and G.. +. HoaT, of
Massachusetts the best on behalf of the
managers The latter argued that the
common law allowed impeachment after
leaving office, and that the common law Is
our law, except as specially changed. lie
also made II strong argument upon the
moral aspect of the case.

DEATH OF l.. S. FELT-Our entire
community were shocked and panied
to learn OF the sudden death of Mr..
L. S. Felt, which took place at his
residence at five o'clock this morn
ing August 5th). Mr.. Felt has been
ill for a little more than two weeks,
but his illness was not very severe.
He was able to sit up portion of
the time, and on Friday of last week
he rode to Main Street, and to the
market. The public had not suppos-
ed him to be dangerously i'll, and
hence the shock that all experienced
this morning on hearing the sad
news of his death. Mr.. Felt had
pursued the mercantile business for
more than o generation. No mer-
chant in the city WAS more widely
known. and probably GO ore was
more generally esteemed. As soon
as the facts can DO obtained we shall
publish a mere extended sketch oil
his life. Mr.. FeIt's second daughter
ia visiting in the neighborhood OF
Utica, N. Y, and the funeral will be
delayed till her arrival. Due notice
will be given Gdlen1 Gazette.

The Crotty Escape.

EDITOR HERALD Much has been
said recently in regard to the Jail
breaking, and escape of Thomas
Crotty, alias Brown, and the "Aduo-
cate man" has tried hard to fix all the
blame on the Sheriff. While most all
of the other papers in the county
have been willing and independent
enough to give some of the facts in
the case and to try to do justice TO all
parties, yet the facts in relation to the
matter, in great measure, are yet
unknown among most of the people in
the county, and to make them known
at present would not advance the
interest of the people of the county, or
remove the cause of Crotty's escape.
AT the proper time, a full statement
of all the facts necessary to clear
understanding of the case will be
given, and nothing will please the
Sheriff better than to have the honor
able county Board examine into the
case next fall and put all the blame
where it belongs.

workshop should DO fully displayed.
Let harmless but strong rivalry be
exhibited by every one, however
humble, to produce, tn manufacture.

cd. Let every family become well
acquainted with the premium list,
either from newspapers or the PAM

some article or articles in which they
will strive to excel, and very many
will themselves be surprised at the
excellence of their own productions
and the result of their trial. The

REMARKABLE MAN. - John 2.
DeZoya, who recently died in Ga.
lena, was in some respects q remark.
able man. He was born in Gruxen,
Switzerland, in 1892. He migrated
to America 10 1888, and arrived in
Galena on the 9Th of April of that
year. He engaged in the bakery and
confectionery business. and his estab-
lishment was for long time the
largest and finest in the west. His
lite before coming to America was
an eventual one. He was one of
Napoleon's Lieutenants, and partici-
pated.in nearly all his campaigns. He
assisted in the slaughter at Water
loo. and on the retreat from Moscow
was taken prisoner and held captive
for several months. He was for
several years alderman of Galena !;
was county treasurer one time and
refused recollection; became an Odd
Fellow in 1910, and held the:highest
position in the lodge and encamp-
ment of Galena became Mason in
1s41, and held high positions in that
order and was an honest and able
i man.

If it keeps on this way we shall
have reason to believe that the whole
Democratic party is an organized
band of assassius and cut-throats and
their editors are their hired procura-
tors. There is the Prairie du Chen
Courier, the nearest Democratic pa
per outside of Grant County, calls the
war to save the Union q "thieying
crusade" and right in the center of
Grant, always Republican and always
economically governed, Demo
cratic paper copies defence of the
inhuman monster, Butler, ard his fell
low savages, with the "heartiest ap-
prevail" and commends to the perusal
of intelligent readers the TRADE of
that chief of hell-hounds against Gov
ernor Chamberlain, who has secured
his indictment for murder. The man
who can do that would give the
'hesrtiest approval" to the burglars
who robbed Bsyley's bank if they
were Democrats and did it to secure
campaign money. 1t was no worse
than Tilden and Tweed's robbery OF
millions in New York city to get
campaign money. The man who
would do that would "heartily ap'
prove" the assassination of NJ. K
Young by his son Albert, if done in
the interest of Democracy. The mar
who does it ought to be ridden on
rail out of civilization into the king
dom of Dahomy.

Stop Your Cough I!

The wonderful results and immense sale of
Hale's Cough Cordial the past season, ought to
convince the most skeptical; still we are 60
ing to continue the same liberal offer that we
have heretofore, viz: Any person suffering
with cold, cough or sore throat, who will
call at w. b. Baxters Drug Store and pur-
chase bottle of Hale's Cough Cordial, use
one-half of it, and if they then conclude
that it is doing them no good, they can re-
turn the balance and receive back their
money. Who would not test this medicine
on such liberal terms? No medicine ever sold
in this vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All we ask is that you will try
