ADJUDICATION.

In our edition of last evening, we
stated that Thos. 7. Singleton, the At
torney, tried at this term of Court for
forgery, had successfully demurred to
the indictment. An examination Of
the records of the District Court
shows that Mr.. Singleton was acquit-
ted by the verdict OF jury, and after
the rendition of this verdict, state
ment signed by VIM. Forsythe, who
charged Mr.. Singleton with the
forgery Of his name, and witnessed by
J. NJ. Banfield and G. A. Williams,
acknowledging Mr.. Singleton's au-
thority to sign his name, was presented
to the Court in Mr.. Singleton's vindi.
cation, and was, by order Of Judge
Prickett, placed on file in the District
Court. In correction of our former
notice and in justice to Mr.. Singleton
we publish this statement.

Senator Edmunds's Breakfast.

Mr.. Geo. Pomeroy, Of Toledo, tells
an agreeable "reminiscences of Senator
George II. Edmund's late visit to
Canada: "Henry Hogan, of St. Law
renee Hall, a man of fityivc, of an
English father and French mother,
and speaking French like a native, is II
rare sportsman, an cid stecplc-chase
rider, and has fine salmon
river on which are fish weigh
ing forty-six pounds. He told
me that some, people he knew in
Washington or New York wrote him,
asking that he invite Senator Ed
munds to fish in his river, but like an
old sportsman he was wary, and first
wrote to New York aud Boston to
find out what kind of person the
Senator was before he invited him. |
presume the report was satisfactory,
for he had him on, and moro than
that, went up there to fish with him.
One morning they went out early to
Wake d kill, and whether successful or
not | do not remember; but it got
along to where Mr.. Hogan was
hungry and proposed goirg to his
cabin for breakfast. The Senator de-
INJURED, saying he had ii couple Of bis
cults and IA piece OF pork and some
gin, and that was enough for both, or
Mr.. Hogan could have it all Mr.. IIo-
gan laughed at the prospective
spread, but Mr.. Edmunds proceeded
to soak the biscuits and built fire.
over which he hung his pork on spit
splitting the biscuits and putting
them underneath to catch the drip
pings from the pork, which all cooked
out, leaving only the lean, while the
biscuits frying in the pork fat were
delicious. Whether they took gin be.
fore or after ! have forgotten, but the
breakfast seemed to have cemcntcd
the friendship Of the two men.

Advice TO Brides.

When the bride, on her bridal Jour.
ney, is sensible young person, she
will keep her silk suit in her trunk for
q suitable occasion and not wear it on
the railway train. A pretty young
girl the other day, making an expedi-
ton to the Catskils aud leaving New
York on rather early train, wore a
black silk dress--but white Spanish
lace fchu, with broad Gainsborough
hat and nodling planes. 1t got
quite cool in the cars on the northern
journey, bat there was no wrap avail
able. If she had shawl, it was pack
ed away in her trunk. The groom,
who had given no advice, evidently to
his spouse, or perhaps did not know,
had IA stout cheviot suit, and must have
been, as he looked, quite comfortable.
Arriving at the railway terminus and
taking the stage for the further pull
up the mountain, it made one spec,a-
tors teeth chatter to see how confident
ly the little BRIDE climbed into the We
hicle, still in the airy tichu, not scrap
of W oolen for her shoulders and her
face white with col |. Probably in her
modest outfit for the wedding there
was flannel dress or a wooden stuff
OF some kind intended for the house.
Ii she had put that Oh for the Journey,
an a saved her best black silk for home
uses. she would more nearly have been
on level with the city persons, who
had left their diamonds at the bank
and had taken two wooden suits and one
cotton gown for IA fortnight's journey
among the mountains. Home, and
not hotel par|ors and, least Of all, the
parlor cars, is the place to wear ones
pretty, airy clothes. In public
crowd on journey all delicate wear
is sure to encounter dust, rain or
chilling cold. The plainest flannel
suits are the best for climbing, beach
Longing and comfort generally.

RIFLE PRACTICE.
Inter-Ocean.

One of the needs of the Illinois National
Guard is rife practice and suitable ranges.
The state should furnish each brigade
with at least one range. As the ground
Eneed not be purchased. but leased, the
expenses would be trifling compared to
the benefits derived by the various COM
mands in rifle shooting. Should any
state simply appropriate enough to lease
the ground and pay the original cost of
targets. butts, and pits, the current ex-
penses and maintenance might easily be
powered by assessments on clubs and in
iividuals using it, when not in use by the
National Guard. 1t would want to be long
range TO win the co operation of the vari-
Gus local rifle clubs, and being such would
necessarily be available for al the short
ranges. The George I'll. Thomas, Lake
View, and other rifle clubs are now hunt
ing for long range site, but experience
many difficulties that the National Guard
from the fact of its being a part of the
state organization, would not encounter
A project is now on foot seeking com
bination of the National Guard and vari-
Gus rifle clubs for the purpose of estab
fishing a permanent rifle range near Chi
cago. IL such a range was in existence
now the Northwestern Rife Association
would hold their annual competitions
here, and it is to secure them that efforts
are being made The only long range
near Chicago now is at Wheaton. Among
the places suggested are sites along the
shore of Lake Michigan. north of the
city; another in rolling country west of
Park, and possibly at Pullman.

SEED CORN.
Aledo Record

! The ,Iaoci Islander takes exception to
our remarks about the Rock Island and

corn to farmers, free of freight charges.
on specified conditions. Is thinks the road
was only actuated by self interest; that
if the corn crop failed for lack of good
seed, the road would have no corn to
ship next yerr, hence it is to the road 8
interest to, ship seed to farmers free of
charge to enable them to raise a crop for
the road to ship next year. Admitting
all this, will it not be benefit to farmers
to accept the proposition made by the
road? It will enable them to raise corn
crop; to feed and fatten their stock, and
have a surplus to sell. Without the time
ly assistance of the railroads they could
not do this; and we fail to see why the
ROch Islander, or any of its ilk, should
take exceptions to an act, when done by
a railroad, which it would commend if
done by an individual
OF all the silly clap trap of the present
day. the buncombe about railroad mon
opo.ies is the silliest There should be no
hostility between the people and the rail-
roads. Railroads are essential to the
prosperity of the people; the prosperity of
the people is essential to the success of
railroads. What Expresses one will
surely Cypress the other in the end. Blot
out the railroads in Illinois and YOU de-
probate the value of every farm in the
state fully one-half and make the crops
grown on them comparatively worthless
The railroads have made the state what it
is: their destruction would reduce it to
what it was thirty years ago. These are
facts which all the bowling of pseudo re
formers cannot controvert.
