Avoid Slang.

Yes, there is no doubt about it; the
use of slang is greatly to be deprecated.
1t is utterly without warrant. If you
speak plain English, people will catch
on to your meaning beg pardon, will
understand you-just as readily, and
your chin-music that is TO say, your
conversation will be far more toney--
beg pardon again-elegant. 1t is now
declared, by tie way, that the phrase,
'lt goes without saying" is slang;
therefore no self-respecting person will
use il hereafter. This goes without S.
there we go again! Slang is horrid
but it is so convenient. especially when
you don't know how to express your
thoughts, or when you have no thoughts
to express. Boston Transcript.

Tasteful House.Furnishing.

Harmony of color is of the first i'm
portance in furnishing. Not that walls,
carpet, curtains, chairs, ETC., should be
of the same color; that would make a
room cold and uninviting. There
should be two or three coiors in room,
but these should harmonic. II one is
conscious that she has no eye for color,
she should consult some one of known
taste before purchasing articles which,
although by themselves might be de-
sirable, would perhaps if placed with
others spoil the effect of the whole,
and be a disappointment to be endured
for years. A carpet, for instance,
should not be purchased without con-
sidering what the color Of the paint is;
and SO of the sofa and chairs, if they
are upholstered. A carpet is like the
background Of picture, it brings into
effect the whole. Styles for carpets
have entirely changed within few
years. Patterns of huge boquets of im-
possible flowers used to be seen almost
everywhere; now very small, set fg-
ure, so small as to look almost like q
plain color at little distance, is in
much better taste. This may be ems
livened by border of bright colors.
The lovely pearl and gray grounds,
with vines or tracery of adarker shade,
and bright borders OF Persian patterns,
are very desirable, and look we'll with
almost everything. The fashion of
staining floors black-walnut color for
ward or more around the walls, and
having a square of bordered Garnet in
the center, is gaining ground, and
much liked for the pretty style and the
convenience of taking it up for clean
ing. 1t is also economical. There are
now plain ingram earpetings, in solid
colors, called .'fiIling. which are used
around these center rugs, instead of
staining the floor. We have seen par
lors carpeted with dark, turquoise-blue
filing, with Persian rugs over them,
not in any set or regular order. The
effect was very good. Ethel Stone, is

KANSAS IN CONVENTION.

Owing TO the railroad strike the Kansas Con-
vention was not as large as it otherwise would
have been but the business was ably transacted
and the sessions were highly profitable through

credit upon the retiring officers, Mrs Louise H.
Brown, President, and Miss Allie Myers, Secre-
tary, of Olathe and tie Convention showed
its high appreciation of Mrs Browns work by
clecting her President by acclamation, although
she had expressed htrself in favor of establish
ing the one term principle in Kansas, and had
made it known that she could not serve another
year. When she could be heard Mrs Brown
firmly declined the honor, feeling that she owed
something to her invalid soldier father from
whom she had been so much separated in carry
ing on her work of The. year.
From Mrs. Browns able address we learn
that during the year she served Kansas as first
President, she officially visited II Corps in-
stalled the officers of IL, and gave the unwrit-
ten work to l3 wrote six General Orders and
nearly 100 letters. At the same time she pre-
sided over her own loved Franklin Corps which
would not give her up and which has given her
such cordial support and which numbers nearly
100 members. Following is a noteworthy pOr-

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1885-12-19

In the afternoon, on motion of Fisher re-
solution was adopted instructing the county
attorney to have all lands and lots on which
the back taxes were equal to or greater than
their value sold, ana Sups. Fisher, Eads and
Marsh were appointed committee to buy at
the sale in such way as to protect the inter
ests Of the county.
The sheriff-s washing bill came up again,
as overhauled by the committee and cut
down from Sl4j. il to S82.69. A comparison
of the bill with the Clifton Hotel laundry
price list showed that the sheriff charged the
county the same prices for washing for pris.
oners, although, as explained by Sup. Nor
ton, the county furnished the soap, fuel,
clothes wringer, clothes line, water, hot air,
building, everything! Sup. Norton main
tanned that in the light Of recent decision
Of the supreme court the Board could allow
the sheriff only the actual cost Of such serv-
ice, as his compensation was liked by law
and no allowance beyond that was legal and
if he had received more in times past he and
his bondsmen were liable to the county for
the amount. Look at the equity Of the
thing" said Mr.. Norton. The sheriff is al
lowed $3.50 week for boarding prisoners,
though the county furnished deputies to de
the cooking, paid for the stoves, fuel. cutlery
and crockery, furnished the beds, bedding
&c., Sc, and in addition to all he wants first
class laundry prices for washing! II is
suggested that the county could make money
by closing up its $40 900 boarding house and
letting the job of boarding the prisoners and
washing for them to the Clifton Hotel
Madden, of the committee, said they had
figured out that washing for the prisoners
was worth 22c. per week per man and they
had allowed the sheriff at that rate.
After some further discussion the question
was put and the report of committee cut
ting down the sheoiff' bill was adopted.
Resolutions Of respect to the memory OF
John p. Miner, of Eden, decd, late men,
Der of the board, after eulogistic remarks by
Gun, Eads and Lewis, were adopted, and the
board adjourned to this morning.
