I had occasion to go 10 Chicago in March
and the ride caused excruciating pain. The

my trouble, sent me "a pamphlet concerning

badly, happening to see it, l picked it up
and read. With but little faith l resolved to

Mrs. j. II. Prater showed us one day last
week, a very fine specimen of what have
been termed spirit pictures. 1t was the pic
ture of little child and on holding the
negative up to the light, there could be dis
tinctly seen the shadowy outline of female
form, which might have been called the
child's mother. The process of obtaining
that kind of pictures is no secret, but is
well understood by photographers.
young scoundrel, giving his name a5
Thomas and claiming residence in Almena,
has been amusing himself by peeping into
the windows of ladies' sleeping rooms, at
various places in this village, at about the
time their occupants were retiring for the
night. We know of some people who have
declared their intention of converting his
vile carcass into sieve if he comes around
their premises. 1t would be good thing TO
do.
We received a call on Tuesday last from
Mrs. Agnes dArcambal, lady well known,
by reputation, as being largely interested in
prison work. At her invitation we visite
with her, the old pen dignifed by the nam
of the Van Buren, county Jail. Mrs. d'Ar-
cambal held brief religious services at the
Jail and talked to the inma tes most admir-
ably. The prisoners complained that the
ministers did not visit them. The lady an
nounced Iher intention of ascertaining the
reason why.
Ever since our school building has been
built, until the present winter, it has been
thought impracticable to warm the high
school room with the furnace, and resort has
been had to stoves, and last winter the room
was wholly abandoned during the winter
months This winter under the common
sense management of Prof. Russell, the
room has been kept comfortable and only
on two occasions has a fire been made in
the stove. Janitor Dillon says notwith-
standing the extreme cold weather during
the month of January he burned only the
same amount of fuel he has usually burned
in the month of November
Last Thursday morning Lutte Wise, OF
this village met with severe and painful ac-
cident. He was returning home from the
east on the Kalamazoo Accommodation, and
dropped asleep. When he awoke he asked
if the train had reached Lawton and was in
formed that it was just pulling out of that
place. He hastened to the door and jumped
off. His head came in contact with the
frozen ground and ice, and his scalp was
torn loose so that it hung down over his
eyes, his nose was badly cut and his face
terribly scratched. Notwithstanding his Sc.
we're injuries he jumped up, ran and caught
the Paw Paw train. 4 small artery was cut
and he bled freely so that by the time ne
reached home he was very weak His in
juries are not regarded as dangerous, al
though it is a wonder he was not killed out
right. There is no safety III getting Off a
railroad train while it is in motion, and it il
particularly dangerous to do so when the
ground is frozen and covered with ice.

Arrant stupidity.
New York World.l

The election OF Mr.. Carlisle was desired
by the Democracy because it was feared
that Mr.. Randall had too much sympathy
with the protectionists. Mr.. Carlisle en-
couraged the belief that he recognized the
imbecilty OF fruitless agitation of the
tariff question at this time, and the wisdom
Of thorough exposure OF those official
rascaltles which prove the necessity OF a
change and reform at Washington. 1t was
on this implied pledge that Mr.. Carlisle
was elected.
What has been done! Instead OF uniting
the party and rallying the people to Its
support, the Democratic branch of Con-
gress has done its best to divide the party.
This arrant stupidity should cease at
once. We need every Democratic vote
and many honest Republican votes to in
sure victory. We can get them on an issue
OF electoral reform and administrative re-
form. Is any one outside OF Kentucky Z, =
beetle enough to suppose that we can get
them on a premature and, at the present
iuncture, absolutely impossible change Of
the tariff?
Are there no Democrats in Congress
wise enough to understand these facts and
bold enough to demand change of policy !?

what would make it wealthy, answered,

answered, roads. roads That grand old
