to organize starch company. The cap.
ital stock is put at $4,000, half of which
is already guaranteed. Mr.. Brown has
process whereby he claims large dividends
can be made on the stock. The old
starch works belonging to the Hardins
will be leased. The works will give con-
slant employment to $50 men, and the
factory will have capacity Of 1000
bushels of corn per day. Brown has
spent his whole life in the starch fac
tories, and he is one of the best posted
men in that business to be found. He is
now in Chicago where he will make all
necessary arrangements for the opening
of the works, and there is no doubt that
he will be able 70 secure the remaining
amount of money desired. Peoria's
superior shipping facilities, added to the
cheapness of the fuel, and other necessi-
ties for the successful carrying on Of the
factory, makes it most desirable point
for this business. The expense attending
the starting will be very light, as one If
the best and most complete factories in
the country fitted up with the latest i'm
proved machinery, is ready for use at any
moment. Over million of dollars has
been squandered in the Peoria starch
works, but Mr.. Brown is evidently the
man to take hold and make money out of
them

Gosh Ill hemlock, how it blows.
How the dust in volumes goes
Cavorting madyup the streets,
Binding every one it meets-
Filling eyes, and ears, and nose
How the wintry wind gives battle
To the rusty signs that rattle
AS il blows,
Blows, blows blows, blows blows
Gosh all hemlock, how it blows,
And the hose-what OF the hose
OF the ladies, when it blows?
We can see them, plain or striped
On each buxom female biped,
When it blows;
As she trips across the gutter,
With her wrappings in fiutter,
She is in dreadful putter
When it blows;
And she CLOVIS
Like rose,
For she knows
That the meAfolks at the corner
Have their naughty eyes upon her
And her hose
Hose, hose, hose, hose, hose
Gosh almighty, how it blows
And the plumber-ah, the plumber.
Who has kept indoors all summer,
Hears the wind tumultuous blowing
AS it blows;
And he wonders if it's showing,
And If water-pipes are going
To be froze;
And he goes,
As ii blows
To the window and keeps peering
From behind the curtain, leering
At the woes
OF his fellow-creatures, nearing
And he crows-yes, he crows
Economically crows
As it blows,
Blows, blows, blows, blows, blows
Gosh Almighty gosh all hemlock how it blows
