Messrs. King, Hamilton ~ Co. are making
preparations to begin the manufacture of the
Johnson Tile Ditcher. We have never seen the
machine work, but should judge from The ma
chine now standing in their shops, and indeed
are assured, that it does its work well. As these
gentlemen are to be the sole manufacturers, it
promises to be n big thing for their extensive
shops and also valuable addition to the manu-
features of this city. 1t may be expected that as
soon as the proper laws are made regulating the
operation of the constitutional amendment lately
passed in regard to drainage, the amount Of tile
laid will be enormous This machine cXcavatcs

The mild weather of the past two weeks has
had the effect of turning ones thoughts towards
spring goods, house cleaning, fishing, buck beer
and other necessaries of life in warm weather.
The merchants are of course taking advantage Of
this happy frame of mind, and the past week has
seen the arrival Of some quite extensive piles of
goods. The largest single lot was perhaps the
arrival of carpets at Hull's-above . car load we
should Judge At any rate, the walk was nearly
blockadcd in front of the store with rolls Of
goods. Only few patterns have been opened
but estimating by these samples, the women

OTTAWA, ILL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1879.

"You have doubtless heard" said DR.. Dyer,

never before saw a case where it was SO literal

dark corner of the boiler room at King llamil-
ton IL Co.'S agricultural implement mandatory.
Mr.. s was engineer for the shops. He went to
work on Wednesday morning about $50 At 20
minutes to :, some of the hands, including John
Burns and James Makecl, went to the shops. They
opened the front door, which was fastened and
Burns went around through the en- CINE room to-
ward the boiler room. Opening the door some
six or eight inches, lie found Stevenson lying
there behind the door, and Burns announced to
his associates that something was wrong with

door they found it full of coal gas from the banked
fires which they supposed had sutocated him.
Makecl put out his hrnd to feel of Stevenson and
laid his hand on Il large horse pistol which lay
across his breast with the butt to the right hand
They then struck sht and discovered the situa-
ton He was lying face up on little platform

nor had he taken light with him. A part of
the top of his head had been blown off; spattsr-

Il mans head, sitting on the steps, and his brains
in solid mass lay in front of him-lterally blown
out An autopsy was made hv Drs. Hard and
Dyer who said the shot was made by placing the
muzzlc of the pistol close to the middle Of the
forehead. His lungs and heart and internal Wis
cera were apparently in Il healthy condition ex-

industrious, careful, inotfensive man, whose do.
nestle relations were happy. None seemed to
know his financial situation except that he had
purchased a farm which he had not entirely paid
for; but that debt was not pressing, he having
paid thc interest but few days before The pis-

err was mild and pleasant generally. On Sunday
afternoon and evening rain fell and on Monday Il
heavy fog hung over the town, followed by some

shining brightly. The tobacco-shop doors stood
filed with ambitious oilers summing themselves,
the court house fence blossomed out in all places
where it could stand alone with II brilliant array
of "Sutizans" waiting for Il job or for night to
come on, and fishermen began looking over their
hooks and other relics of the last seasons sport,
