a dreary time of IL, for the kankakee now

His songs are always delightful, and in his

Our SENIOR AND THB Posi- OPFIcE.-Though
1t may still be somewhat early to stir the mat
ter, our Senior cOnfesses himself already over
whelmed, as 1t were, by the multitude Of kind
" expressions that assail him on all sides and
offers of services In furtherance of his aspira.
tons to the postmastership of this city. Plea
SAINT rs such expressions are from whatever
terms than the following from our vivacious
friend REDDIcK, of the La Sale Dem. Press:
When the time comes to make change In
the Ottawa postOffice, the claims Of William
Osman, Esq, senior editor Of THE FREE IRA.
nsR, should receive due respect and recOgni-
ttOn. For forty years this old war-hOrse has
fought the battles of Democracy at the county
scat, and in the pioneer day 8 when the county
was strongly Republican, he ron the only De.
mocratic paper In the county, and stood nobly
the blunt of the attacking foe. Calm, patient,
marching in the ranks for 40 years, he de.
serves now to be honored. We have not heard
Of any other aspirsnt for the office, but pre-.
sumo the woods are full Of 'em.
And the following from our esteemed CO.
temporary of the Ottawa Repul6ican-who has
the kindness to hope that
II the Democrats desire to do the handsome
thing by an old wheelhorse-a man who has
done more for the Democracy in both city and
county than score of Others-they will send
big petition to Washington for the appoint
mens of William Osman, editor of the FREE
TRADER, AS postmaster.] He has the respect
OF all classes, is competent, and will make a
worthy successor Of the present incumbent.
Moreover, he is entitled to II substantial recog.
milton OF his long and valuable services in the
interest OF the party and of this community.
Such Kindness, our friends are assured, is
gratefully appreciated, and thus melted and
encouraged, our Senior has decided, when the
proper time arrives, to bring to a test the pro-
bem whether the proverbial ingratitude of re-
publics pertains also to the Democratic party

Next Weeks Programme.

The cloak department at Fl. j. GILLEN's has
been for several years leading feature OF the
fall trade at this house, and in the trade he
has more than held his own, each year having
increased his business in this line; but 1884
has proved the banner year. His sales have
been immense during the past % days and
much larger than any year before. But prices
have been very low, and the truly great bar
gains he has offered, together with the size
and completeness Of his stock, has been the
cause. There have been in this line
LARGE ARRIVALS THIS WEEK,
making the stock again by far the largest and
most complete in the city in Dolmans, Russian
Circulars, Newmarkets, Ladyclaire's, as well
Us something extra fine in Seal Pushes.
The greatest bargains Of the season will be
offered during the coming week, OF goods
contracted for during the early part Of the
season, which the manufacturers failed In
getting ready for the market, which shall be
offered at prices much belo,c all former prices,
and will show q decided reduction. A good
garment can be obtained as low rs $25. A
large arrival also Of
CHILDRENs AND MIssns' CLoAKs,
all sizes from 4 to IA years, at prices that will
astonish as we'll as please you. A good gar.
ment In this line can be purchased as low as
$50 up to something especially fine, rels-
lively cheap. ... .4g
The shawl stock may also be noted In this
connection as exceptionally attractive in the
variety of goods and bargsins to be obtained,
from the cheapest to the finest grades on the
market. '-'-.
The slaughter of merchandise made by the
house in all departments during the past 20
days has met with hearty endorsement from
the public. 1t is something unheard of that Il
stock such as this should be placed on the
market belo,c the closing prices after the sea-
son had closed. But the season opening late,
and many goods contracted fer, more espe-
cally the wooden, blanket and flannel stocks,
the stock must be closed out, and no means to
that end will be neglected, and that means an
advantage to the buyer. In the silk and vel
vet stock will be found a complete line, at de-
cided bargains; while the mammoth dress
goods stock, carrying all textures of seasonal
BILE or fashionable goods, must be seen to be
appreciated The fact is true that in each and
every department of this great stock, inclu-
ding notions, gloves, hosiery, underwear, &c,
&C., many genuine bargains may be obtained
during the remaining portion of the season.
The goods are there and the greatest bargains
can be had by those who desire to share in
the advantages offered are invited to call.

The new school house at Seneca Is so far fin
shed that on Monday next it will be occupied
by the schools of that village. 1t is really
one Of the handsomest school buildings in
this county; and though there are several in
the large cities Of the county which are larg-
er, we doubt IL there are any except the
Ottawa and Streator High School buildings,
that are more suited TO the purpose than this
new building at Seneca. II is the work Of
Messrs. Thos and Hugh Colwell, Of this
city, Mr.. NJ. l.. Beers, Chicago, architect.
1t is built OF native brick, and is located
south Of the canal, and east OF the business
part of the village. 1t has two fine stories,
with two rooms each, with their proper
cloak rooms, and wide hall between, and a
large stairway connecting the stories. IN
derneath is a basement, better than those used
so long for school rooms in Ottawa buildings.
The floor is solid rock, and all around the
building below this floor is four-lnch tile.
The basement is used for the furnaces only,
or play rooms during cold and wet weather,
for which the two large rooms are admirably
suited The building is finished In Georgia
pine, has broad windows on three sides OF
each room, and is heated and ventilated by
the Ruttan system Of ventilation, the furnac'
IS being two "Rubys,' The building, which,
whcn.entirely finished will cost about $1,000,
