imagined might be game. They fol
lowed the trail until il was lost in Il
hollow tree on the premises. After
striking a few blows with their axes,
the tree. the trunk of which was de
cayed, toppled and fell. The old
man was caught under one of the
branches, and the boy was pinned
to the earth by the trunk of the tree
The cries of the latter attracted u
crowd, and both men were released
The old mans skull is fractured and
he is internally injured, while both
of the boys arms are broken and bis
chest crushed. He died tonight
and his fathers case is hopeless.

The corn essp Of Ieptlal Illinois
this year beats the world. H. p.
Skinder. near Tolono, has husked
from a field yielding 80 bushels per
acre, no part of it making less than
so bushels. Other farmers all over
the country have Just as good corn,

measures 20 feet long. The new
crop is beginning to move at 80
cents per bushel of 20 pounds in the

Col. QuAY's superb majority for
State Treasurer has incited the
newspaperscribblers into an attempt
to start a boom for him as a candi-
date for Z. S. Senator. The Colonel
has intimated no desire of the Kind,
and the whole thing originates with
irresponsible outside parties. If ne
wants to be Senator he will doubt
less announce the fact himself, as
he did his candidacy for Treasurer
and if he is the choice of the Legis-
lature he will be elected. The Sen
atorship is not question at present,
and Colonel Quay's candidacy Is
purely imaginary

IT is most amusing to read the
many reasons assigned by the Mug
wump and other journals of New
York for the defeat of Davenport.
II is evident that he did not receive
the heavy Irish vote that was cast
for Mr.. Blaine, and as the Irish
World, that brought over many votes
to Blaine, advised its readers to vote
for Hill, stating that it was still Re
publican and wanted Irishmen TO
remain in the party of protection,
but that Davenport had fallen into
the hands of the free trade Mug
wumps and must be defeated, il
looks as if not much search was re-
ouired to find the cause.

ONE gratifying feature OF the result
in this county is the true light in
which it sizes up the conceited Com

that he would not carry five town
ships in the county. The simple
truth is that its support injured
Philson, and "Old John Barron
mopped the ground with it aud its
deluded follower.
