A Chicago woman has succeeded
in obtaining a temporary injunc-
ton restraining former lover from
printing divers and sundry love let
ters received from her, the publica-
ton of which, she asserts, would
damage her very seriously. The
uses of the injunction, like those
of electricity, rapidly multiply, and
soon no housekeeper can afford to
be without one.

The Cincinnati Sun is a Demo-
ocratic journal. But it believes in
fair play and dccency. Hear it:
Bernard Gillian is the name of
the individual who works for Puck,
and was the artist who represented
Mr.. Blaine as the tattooed man.
Mr.. Gillian is an Englishman, ard
has recommended himself to a Ger.
tain class of Americans by aesail-
ing the character, ard holding up
to shame and ridicule an Amer: ca I
citizen of great prominence, and
great worth and the champion Of
American elements in America.
The assaults by Gillian, the Eng
lishman, or Blaine, the American,
are outrages that no decent MAJ
should countepance.

The latest is that he was mixed up
with the star-route frauds. And
this in the face Of the fact that
while he was Secretary Of State the
most vigorous prosecution Of the
star-route swindlers was made by
the Administration. It will be re-
membered, too, that the journals
supporting the star-routers were
constant in their assaults upon Mr..

CLEVELAND IN NEW YORH

CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK.
In the face Of the facts it seems
strange that Democrats will persist
in counting New York for Cleye-
land. The Bourbons have for the
past sixteen years chosen their
nominees from New York and seen
them 20 down one by one. Greedy,
mlden, Hancock, Cleveland. Cleve-
land in running for Governor Of
New York carried the State by 1885,
854 majority. BIT it must be re-
membered that this vote was TO-
206 less than Garfield carried it two
years before. A lot of disaffected
Republicans pouting over local is
sues stayed away from the polls,
and this is what gave Cleveland his
majority. The disaffection among
Democrats this year in New York
will beat Cleveland even if these
same whimpering Dolly Vardens
remain away from the polls
again. Tammany will not vote for
him, and when Ben Butler begins
to throw his brick, the pile will fall
on Cleveland like the side of a

Celebrated Poyneer Grain Fan
Seed and Grain Grader combined.

This Fan was patented April 4th, 1882, and
is claimed by all farmers, seed dealers and
agricultural dealers, wherever the said Fan
has been placed, to be the most perfect mo
chine nolo an use in this or any State in the
Union. 1t not only is the fastest cleaner of
all kind of grain and seed for marketing, but
will effectually separate any kind offoul seeds
from the grain, and at the same time per-
fectly grade broken and small seeds from those
which are fully developed for seeding. This
fan is now used by the best practical farmers
in the country where it has been sold, and
CANNOT BE EXCELLED
For neatness and dispatch in cleaning any
kind of grain or seeds. 1t will separate the
ripple from clover seed; also the cookie
from your seed wheat complete.
Farmers, we have not been able to canvass in
this county yet, as we have orders ahead, taking
the fans as fast as we can possibly build them;
but we think in two or three weeks we will be
able to bring our teams in this county to sell
and deliver the fan. and we wish to say to the
farmers that it will be impossible for US to
have our statesmen call on you the second
time, as we are hard pushed for time; there
fore, we hope you will be prepared to test the
merits of the fan. You can trust that it will
do its work as represented. Our fan fully
meets the wants of the farmers generally.
RsS Should any of the sleeves or screens get
broken, they will be furnished by us free of
charge. Gears at cost, by addressing us at
