The choice of United States Senator
from Illinois lies between Logan and
Morrison, and as the legislature is a
tie-102 Republicans to l02 Democrats,
the contest will necessarily be close one.
The Republicans have strong hopes
from the fact that republican vote
was necessary to elect Haines speaker,
and look for a democratic vote for
Logan to Offset it. That Logan was the
unanimous choice of the nominating
caucus, while Morrison had some OPP
position among the Democrats is also
regarded as favorable circumstance.

According to the Boston Post a new
game is played at the Hub as fol-
lows: A number sit round table and
write on slips of paper guesses about
the weather tomorrow The one
guessing right wins. Any number can
play, as there is weather enough to go
round. When we get tired of progress
i've euchre we can adopt that game here
in Lancaster, the climate being admlra-
bly, suited to its rules; but those who
guess ''cold' will win all the time this
winter

The terrible blizzard which ragged the
first of the week in northern Iowa, was
the worst of the season From six to
ten inches of snow fell, and high wind
which accompanied it caused it to drift
badly. Trains on almost all the roads
were blocked, and many of them still
continue so, the cold being so intense
that it has been difficult to get workmen
to clear the roads. This storm has
been very severe also in southern Min
nesota. Wisconsin and Michigan, and
central and northern Illinois.

so did the ears Of neighbours pony.
A pail of water left in the kitchen all
night would freeze solid before morn
ing. When she had been ironing the
top of pocket handkerchief the lower
part would freeze On the table. The
thermometer went to SO degrees below
zero. This is commented on at con-
siderable length, and then comes this
remark: "But say deliberately that
would rather pass three winters on

What Felix Did.

Years before there was a society for

the Mac's and O's flowed in his veins
vet he put both blood and Drawn at
the service Of dumb, defenceless
animals.
Meeting one day carter, who was
beating bis horse because the poor
beast could not draw the overloaded
cart up steep hill, Felix ordered the
man to desist. The carter replied by
striking Felix over the head with his
heavy whip.
In an instant blow from the giants
fist laid the human brute in the street
The Irishman then seized the carter.
lifted HIM up, tossed him into his cart,
and drove to the police court. where
the man was fined.
In defending his favorites, Felix
knew neither high nor low. He once
saw a noble lord beating the fine horse
he was riding about the head with a
stick. The indignant lrishman seized
the bride and raising his right arm in
a threatening gesture. said:
''Desist from batting your horse, or
I'll make yOu!"
The noblcman jumped off in high
anger demanded to know 1.-THE name
Of the scOundrel who dared to dictate
to him."

and Juggling, al; this showing and
scrambling TO get subsistence. comes
from the difficulty of subsisting. and
all the difficulty Of subsisting from the
multi dude If those who compete with
us and Of those who depend upon us.
How often do men and women bow
the proud neck and silence every gen.
erOus beating of the heart in order
that those whom they love and who
will despisc them may be spared the
long-suflering anu humiliation that
have filled their own lives? All. 1t is
because So many lives are starved and
shriveled up that here and there few
have space to bloom and spread them
selves in the sun. 1t is the degradation
Of most that makes possible the self
respect of some. 1t is the score Of mig
CARDS who make possible the one gem
erOus man.
The mOralist who declines to face
facts may denOunce sentiment, but Is
sentimental still. His doctrine. being
sentimental, can he reduced to no
plain or ineligible principle; and rs il
does now consist with itself, il would
fain make amends bv being angry like
an illogical man or fearful like an IL
logical woman. But no tears or ours
rs tell so much as lucid Indication Of
facts. All Of us feel the NV stery Of our
situation. and all would like to have
even the least light thrown upon it.
Merely to show ms an enormous spec
ter Of the Brockcn which mimcs all
our struggles is not showing us the
way over the hill. Anybody who is
good for anything has quite enough
fermenting in his inside. 1t is wisdom,
not excitement. that he wants from
teacher.
sentimental moralizing always tends
to paradox. and the mOralizing done
by men of letters is no exception to
the rule. Like other preachers. they
must live; they must live by moving
their hearers. and they can best move
their hearers by means Of the fresh and
wonderful to which their own eager
and mercurial temperament inclines.
Thus the new priesthood is not less

Of late have we seen men, themselves

riOus and artificial society. advocate
Innovations which would make all

any Bcncdictinc monastery! As these
men do not lack imagination. they
must needs lack seriousness. Nor is

Three Persons Killed.
FoRr srocxTox, TEX, July s.-Newshas
just reached this post of 8 sanguinary com
flict between number of prominent
Americans and some Atexicans Of equally
high standing. James Frszier, a rich cat
tie man, and son Of Judge Frazier, was
stabbed to death, and crispine sosa and
Pedro Basillo, Mexicans, were shot and
killed. Frazier and party Of his friends
were en- route to his ranch, q long dis
lance from here, in the country on the
nighto June 20 and stopped at the resi-.
dence OF Pedro Sosa, wealthy Mexican,
who had given dancing party in honor
Of st. Peters Day, and which was being
largely attended by Mexican families.
| The party OF Americans intruded them
selves on the festivities, presuming largely
upon the wealth and influence OF the
Fraziers, and took more liberties than the
prophecies justified. In one Of the quad
rifles, James Frazier undertook what Is
commonly termed tto run the dance. !"
The Mexfcans protested and he hit Pedro
tsosa over the head with q pistol. A gem
etal shooting and stabbing atfray followed,
with the fatalities mentioned. The
Frazters and their friends are swearing
desperate things and the Mexicans are
prepared to protect themselves. All dis
interested reports txcnlpate' the Mexi-
cans from responsibility for the affray.
