The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1884-11-15

To meet this demand Ottawa has many
splendidly appointed establishments, con-
spicuous among which, for the extent, va.
riety and splendor of its exhibit, is that of
r. II. Trask, one of the Oldest in the city.
This embraces besides large lines of stand
ard American watches and diamonds in
gold and silver, cases resplendent with
general jewelry, gems in unique and beau.
tiful settings, including all articles of per.
sonal ornament for either sex, and one of
the most costly and elegant exhibits of
table and other silverware of artistic design
and elaborate finish ever brought to this
section.
Two notable specialties of this house are
the fact three men are kept on the road
with goods at all times working 100 towns,
to meet whose sales very heavy purchases
direct from the manufacturers are neces-
sary, thus securing lowest rates for local
patrons, and the optical eye tester, most
valuable instrument recently purchased,
by which eyes are accurately measured
and glasses adjusted to meet the needs of
most difficult cases.

DIR. Mm. Shrnhnra. Y. =.

Ottawa and the county at large is very
fortunate in the location here of Dr.
Shepherd, whose prominence as a veteri-
nary practitioner is second to that Of no 9th
er in the western states and whose famil-
iurity with the causes nature and proper
treatment OF every form of equine ailment,
is of incalcuable value to owners of stock.
The infrmary maintained for the better
treatment of animals suffering from serious
hurts or disorders, is arranged and con-
Quoted on hygienic principles relatively
similar TO the best managed hospitals. Ii
is to the credit of this gentleman that he
has never taken advantage of the general
demands upon his professional services, or
their conceded exceptional value, to enrich
himself by the exaction OF high fees; on
the contrary his popularity is in no small
degree due to the liberality of his charges
either at his infirmary or elsewhere.

business enterprises of Ottawa, must IN
clude the widely known clothing empo-
rum of Oak Hall, A. Frank, Propr. The
stock carried az all times is extensive and
varied enough TO afford abundant opportun.
ity for choice; but at this time ii is especi-
ally replete, owing TO the mammoth addi-
tions to meet the fall and winter trade.
This provision includes, in addition TO
evercoats and general winter wear of every
cut, quality, grade, size and description al
prices never before reached for the quality,
and even now unapproachable by any other
house supplying this market, with full
and exceptionally fine and elegant line of
gents, furnishings, The liberality and cor
rect appreciation of true business methods
eyinced by this firm are too well known to
the people of this county to require allu-
sion TO here.
The cardinal principles underlying the
business methods of this house, are the
purchase of goods in favorable markets for
cash, and their sale at strictly one price
marked plainly on each article, from which
no deviation is made for any one.

LOGAN.

Logan is in fair way to realize the trutl
of the adage that "Misfortunes never come
singly" He is not only defeated in his
vice presidential aspirations, but to that de
feat is probably to be superadded the defea
of his reelection to the U. s. Senate, as the
latest returns indicate a majority of from
to in favor of the democrats on joint bal
lot in the Illinois Legislature
The fact is so disappointing and crushing
to Logan that in his desperation he has con
ceived the wild project of reversing the
will of the people by chicanery and fraud
The scheme he has devised, in connection
with his faithful henchman, Long Jones, is
to find few defeated Legislative candidates
and by getting them to carry contests into
the state senate, where the Republicans are
supposed to have majority of one, to Dust
enough Democrats to give the Republicans
majority on joint ballot.
In looking around for proper subjects to
operate upon Logan and Jones made their
first advance TO Mr., Chris. Manner, who was
defeated by 26l votes in the 4th senatorial
district in Cook county by Thomas A. Cant
we'll democrat Manner was invited to meet
Jones and Logan in back room of the
Grand Pacific Hotel to privately discuss the
project and lend his assistance, Manner met
the illustrious duo according to appoint
ment, and after listening to the unfolding
of the plot and the earnest solicitation to
lend his assistance, he was unable longer to
contain himself and proceeded to unload
his madness and disgust. "See here, Lo-
gam" he afterwards reported himself in the
Times as having said, 81 just want to say
that all you fellows will be going around
here in rags begging nickel to buy Shee,
ME booze, when am eating pie. know
what you want, but don't propose TO be a
party to any such scheme Cantwell was
fairly elected. II there is any blame you
| fellows must take II. You set up Lawrence
as an independent candidate over there to
knock me out, and you accomplished your
design. Now you will have to bear the
consequences. As have said, Cantwell is
fairly elected, and am going to see that
he gets his seat. If he needs any money to
make the fight have thousands of dollars
he can draw ON at any time. l want you to
realize distinctly that l am for Cantwell,
and all the senators and United States mar.
shals In the country can't bulge me from
the stand have taken."
Logan WINGED and Jones trembled, and
after Manner departed both agreed they had
never met tougher customer. Whether
they have been more successful In the pur-
suit of their plot in other quarters remains
to he revealed.

THE VOTE OF NEW YORK,

OF course our readers know that the re
suit of the presidential election hangs OF
the official canvass no" in progress in Ne"
York city. The canvass of the whole state
| by counties and election precincts com
menced on Tuesday, and by Thursday wa
substantially completed in all the counties
outside of the city Of New York, ana th'
result of that canvass was majority IN Ia
vor of Cleveland substantially as reported
by the newspapers and Associated Press
There was not change of over % in The
whole state, leaving Clevelands plurality
in the state, assuming the unofficial coun
of New York city to remain unchanged
1924.
The hopes of the Blainites are therefore
Whitfield down to the discovery of enough
frauds and irregularities in New York city
to overcome this majority. The canvass, a.
far as it has progressed, and closely watch
ed by a strong corps of lawyers on both
sides, offers no encouragement for the dis
coyely of any such frauds" The city il
divided into twenty-rour assembly districts
each Of which is canvassed separately. Up
70 Thursday evening eleven Of these had
been completed, and in all of them the
gains and losses on presidential electors
about balanced each other In the seventh
district alone, thus ar..has Cleveland sus-
tanned any loss and there reduction of Sc
veral hundred in his majority resulted from
the loss of the returns from two voting pre-.
cincts, but these it is believed will yet be
found.
Thus far there has been no Indication Of
purpose on the part Of the Republican
lawyers employed to watch the canvass to
carry out the threat, so freely made by the
papers in their behalf, to interpose techni-
cal distractions 10 the count so as TO throw
il into the courts and prolong it beyond No
vember oath, when the state canvass must
be made on which alone the electors can
receive their certificates If the Republl-

While the Democrats are undated in
their strong confidence In favorable issue,
the Republicans are growing every day
more respondent The New York Tribune
Of Thursday virtually givesit up, admitting
that the figures stubbornly insist on plu-
rality of about 1900 in favor of Cleveland.
The Commercial AdDeyTiser Of the same date
says: "If it Is not yet officially announced

ransfer of the federal power from Repub-

Prudently managed banking institution,
are the bulwarks of business prosperity
and il is no doubt largely due to the posses
sions of such institutions that the phenom
email commercial growth and prosperity OF
Ottawa is attributable. The National City
Bank is conspicuous example of the best
and most liberal management in this i'm
portant department of business. Conducted
by gentleman long and successfully identi.
fed with the business development of
Ottawa and La Sale county, on system
of accommodation to merchants, farmers
and others in chance need of funds, only
limited by sound buiness principles; with
conservatism which insures its depositors
against liability to loss with a history dat
ing back to 1856 and the wildcat days
when the Ottawa banks stood almost alone
in the confidence of the people of the state ;
the money which 1t holds in trust Is justly
regarded as safe as if stored in the national
vaults at Washington. 1t Is at all times
ready and willing to extend financial aid
to:any firm of enterprise promising promo
ton of the business growth of the city and
section, and has been an important factor
in the remarkable development of CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests within the
past few years.
The management of this institution to
which Ottawa has owed much in the past
and may be relied on equally in the future,
is in the hands of Hon. Z. c. Allen, who is
recognized as one of the leading financiers
in Northern Illinois, and for which reason
this bank enjoys the distinction of being
one of the foremost banking institution in
the state
