The New Model Thresher and Traction Engine,
manufactured by c. Aultman Il Co., Canton, o.,
and sold by F. ID. Swcetser Il Co., of this city, to
c. L. McCumber, of Deer Park, in this county,
was given a trial trip last Wednesday evening.
The engine is self-propeling, with only small
pair of horses needed to steer it. The engine
had hitched behind it tank holding six barrels
of water; the separator was hitched behind the
tank. The engine took the complete train up
the west Covel Creek hill without balk or the
least bit of trouble. Mr.. Laughlin, one of the
shop experts, will instruct Mr.. McCumber (who
is assisted by Mr. Bradford until he becomes
more acquainted with it,, and we know by the
reputation that these celebrated machines have
they cannot help but please and satisfy all farm

and at II. j. Gllen's, with other interesting
particulars.
These sales have, through the immensely OF
the stocks offered at so great reduction from

nous for July, of which other traders have CON-
planned
The fact is, this is genuine sacritice Of goods
bought at a sacrifce-an opportunity offered in
Ottawa but once in series of years Many
lines have been and are now selling at less than
SO cents on the dollar, and as all goods are mark
ed in plain figures the sacrifice can be seen at a

but bargains are offered in all departments of
this immense stock and all summer goods in
particular will be found at the extreme of low

In answer to a promise made to a committee
OF Ottawa business men, Supt. Kimball, Of the
Rock Island road, came to Ottawa yesterday to
look up the matter CT putting IN switches for the
fire clay and brick and tile works east OF the city
He was taken TO the grounds by committee OF
representative business men. From all that can
be learned it appears he was convinced of the
necessity Of acting on the petition formerly pre-.
sen.ed, and promised that each Of the works
should have a switch, and that the road master
would be in the city next week to look after the
matter.

The workmen are engaged this week laying the
steam conducting pipes from the boiler house
on the Jail lot to the new court house, through
the alley that runs south from the boiler house.
trench is dug below the frost line, in which
tile is laid. Aboye the tile is built OF brick a re-
ceptacle for the pipe about foot and a half by a
foot high. The pipes being sealed at the joints,
are covered with flag stones, the intervening
space around and above the pipes filled
with asbestos, packed very tightly. 1t was
noised around this week that the contractor was
hardly doing the square" thing in the packing
OF the pipe; 30 the committee very suspicious
Of latch FASTENED in to investigate Several sec
tions OF the flag stone torn up and the thing
examined. They found that knife blade could
mt be run into the wool, when they concluded it
was all right, and went home convinced NO
guilty man had escaped this time. The boiler
house building itself is rapidly nearing compile
ton. At the court house work is progressing
rapidly; lathing is going on and some OF the in.
terror wood work is being put in. The roof is
ready for the metal covering, and the brass balls
on the flag stats, spite of Uncle John MilIcr's
protest, loom up like a sore thumb on dark

Correction.

In the report of the dedication ceremonies of
Ottawa Lodge No Al |. o. o. F. made by the
Repubeican of last week there is grave error.
The reporter being wrongly informed, says "Thc
ceremonies were delayed till Or. NJ. by the di-
ltoriness Of Mr.. Wilson in his musical arrange
ment." The delay was caused by the fact that
the committee on instrumental music was out of
town and did not get in on time, thereby causing
a change in the programme. Mr.. Wilson who
was committee on vocal music, was very efficient
and prompt IN all his musical arrangements and
deserves our thanks for the fine vocal music pro-
cured by him for us. +. Y. GRIGGs.

Some time ago German immigrant arrived
at La Sale with his family, and remaining there
a while got somewhat in debt to fellow coun.
tryman. Afterwards he went to Minnesota and
getting work saved money enough to pay part
OF his debt and to have his children sent to him.
The La Sale man pocketed the money sent, and
to Brighten his creditor threatened to sell the
children to wipe out the balance Of the debt.
The immigrant was worried. He wasn't fused
to the ways" here; and 80 wrote Judge Miller a
fearful letter, beseeehing him to interfere and
save him his children. Recorder Arnold an.
swered the letter, conveying to the ought-to-be
happy German the information that Americans
had ceased TO buy and sell human beings! The
facts were reported to Supervisor Mclaughlin,
of La Sale, who doubtless has by this time
placed the children in their parents keeping.

On Thursday evening abont seven O'Clock the
residence of WIN, Fourlough, on Douglas street
west side, took fire and was destroyed. The
building was two story frame house, with
wing on the west for kitchen. The house was
in good condition except the kitchen chimney
which being defective caused the ire The
house was worth probably $500, the property
OF Story and Camp, Chicago. Mr. Fourlough's
household goods were removed in good condi.
ton and his losses are covered by insurance.
The house was insured in the Commercial Union
for s7jO-The fire department was specially
promptiu responding to the telephone alarm. The
distance to the Raymond reservoir WAS 10 or II
blocks and TO reach the fire from the reservoir
$500 feet Of hose had to be laid, yet water was
thrown on the fire in less than 10 minutes after
the alarm, we should judge without having
timed IL. The steamer when IL reached water
had 40 lbs. Of steam. The building was SO dry,
however, and the flame was famed by brisk
breeze so that 1t burned rapidly, and the building
was destroyed. Yet no fire dedsrtment could
have done better work.

Considerable complaint has been made against
South Ottawa parties for allowing a drove of
horses to run the streets at all hours Of the day
and night, breaking down fences and walks, des.
troying young trees and doing other damage.
Owners should be required to keep their stock
up, especially when both public and private
property is being injured. There is little use, the
