cheese and milk were the principal products.
One evening, after meeting, dsiryman ap-
preached the dominic and remarked:

"Yes; great many prodigsl sons are re-
turning home" replied the minister.
"Ahl" exclaimed the dsirymsn, "whst Of.

A Midnight Visitor

Last Sunday night about 19 o'clock,
several families on Moline avenue were
considerably frightened by the antics of
a fellow that tried to gain entrance to
their houses. At the residence OF Mrs.
Maloney, he threw himself with full force
against the front door, endeavoring if
possible, to force it open. This naturally
awakened the inmates and they screamed
for the police, which frightened the fellow
away. 1t seems from there he went to a
house only short distance away from the
Maloney residence, and there he was
successful in gaining an entrance through
a window. A dim light was burning in
the room, and he turned it up so it burned
brightly. He went to the door of bed
room where young lady of the household
was slumberiDg, and pushed it open.
This awakened the occupant of the apart
ment, and she called to her father who
was sleeping in an adjoining room. The
head of the family Immediately appeared
on the scene, and discovered the intruder
standing in the room in his stocking feet.
He asked the fellow what he wanted, who
answered that he wished to find place
to sleep. Instead of holding him and
calling the police, he was ordered to leave,
which order he obeyed. A man that will
go through such maneuvers is either
drunk or crazy. At any rate the com.
munity would feel much more comforta.
BILE if he was locked up.

Great Slaupntering Sale.

Chas. c. Taylor the enterprising dealer
in holiday goods, at No. 1903, Second
avenue, has instituted great slaughter
ing sale of his stock of holiday goods.
He has reduced the price on everything
to 90 per cent below former figures on
goods to the amount of one dollar and
over. Mr. Taylors stock is all fresh and
new, and consists of all the late novelties
in toys of every kind and description, fine
albums, pictures, vases, baskets, and
thousands OF other things too numerous
to mention, all of which has been pur-
chased this season at the low
est cash figures. His stock is
one of the most complete and tastefully
arranged of any in the three cities.
Everybody should call now while the
assortment is complete, and select their
holiday goods. Mr.. Taylor means just what
he says and can convince all of the truth
of the reduction. His goods have always
been marked in plain figures so that a
child who can read can easily see that it
is paying no more than a grown person.
Recollect eighty cents buys one dollars
worth. Mr.. Taylor invites everybody to
call and become convinced that they can
save money by purchasing of him.

A Dangerous Situation.

Mrs. Homer Lowry and Miss Bessie
Harper, daughter of Ben Harper, ESQ.,,
can think themselves very lucky for being
in the land of the living today, as both
had hair breadth escape from being
crushed to death yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. They were coming home from
Davenport in the family phaeton, and had
crossed the bridge that spans the slough
and were about to drive over the railroad
tracks when they heard a locomotive
coming. They stopped their horse, and
intended to wait until the engine had
passed, when, noticing the signal ball at
the guard house up, and being told that
the way was clear by a farmer who was
Immediately behind them with his team,
they started to cross the tracks. A switch
engine hauling several cars was coming
down the track and as the ladies started to
cross the track they saw the danger they
were in. Mrs. Lowry, who was driving,
leaped from the buggy, holding the lines
in her hands, while aliss Bessie remained
in the vehicle, although having no means
of guiding the horse, which continued to
go forward. Luckily Mrs. Lowry dropped
the lines, and the horse made sudden
start forward, crossing the track just as
the engine rushed by, missing the rear Of
the buggy only by few inches. An en-
gineer, who was standing near by. grab
bed the horse, thus avoiding runaway
In jumping Mr.. Lowry bruised her face
quite badly, but both ladies were more
frightend than injured, and it is safe to
say that they do not wish to undergo a
similar experience.
