The Picnic of the Illinois State Grange,
p. OF H., at Snachwine Lake, to begin on
Tuesday and end on Thursday, was very
thinly attended on account of the exceed
ingly unfavorable state of the weather
As the weather was wet, clustering and
chilly all day Tuesday, no attempt to meet
was made until Wednesday. Then a
small company, which gradually swelled
into a good sized meeting, got together and
were entertained by the reading of an ex-
ceedingly we'll written paper by Mrs. Ash
ley, of this county, on the place or office of
Woman in the Grange.
Hon f. A. Giller, Master of the State
Grange, then delivered an admirable ad-
dress on the work, condition and prospects
of the State Grange and Of the Order in
state and nation.
A very interesting paper was read in the
course of the day by Mrs. Rose, of Mclean
county; and Mr.. Jeriah Bonham, editor of
the Chicago Educator, read thoughtful
paper on "Phases of the Labor Question"

The sham battle at Camp Welter, Aug
10th, during the encampment, has been
the direct cause of the death of Private r.
A. Purdee, of Co. |, Fourth Inf, |. n. g.,
of La Sale. During the battle he became
engaged in an encounter with the cavalry
and while lying on the ground cavalry
mau approached and when within few
feet of the PROSTATE soldier who was held
by Others placed his weapon near Purdee's
head and fired, the wad and powder burn
ing a hole in his cheek. Tuesday morning
last symptoms of lockjaw set in and the
poor fellow died in great agony Thursday
forenoon following. Deceased was one of
the best drilled soldiers of Capt Madden's
company, and resided at Oglesby where a
wife and four little children remain to
curse the memory of the brutal cavalry
men of the First, whose cowardly action
has deprived them of their stay and CON-
fort. 1t was dastardly outrage and de-

ton at the hands of either the civil or
military authorities.
The funeral of the lamented soldier will
take place to-day at 9 o'clock. A delega-

DAYTON BRIDGR.-The people of the
town of Rutland vote next Monday, Aug.
3lst, on the question of taxing themselves
$1,000 towards building a good bridge at
Dayton The bridge is to cost $4,000,
Dayton agreeing to pay $4,000 towards it,
the county paying the other half. Consid-
ering that the bridge will be really con
venience to a larger proportion of the peo-
pie of Rutland than of the town of Dayton,
the offer of Dayton to bear so large a
share of the expense is a very liberal one
and ought to be met by Rutland in a spirit
of like liberality There is no point on the
Fox River in this county where bridge is
so pressingly needed as at Dayton The
ford there is so precarious and unavailable
most of the time that not only are Rutland
people cut off from the advantages of the
mills at Dayton, but to many of them the
distance to Ottawa, Wallace, Utica, Nc, is
increased from two to half dozen of
miles. 1t does look rs if Rutland could
not afford to let this chance go Ivy OF get
ting permanent bridge at Dayton at so

tify Il guess as to the probable successful
aspirant In this judicial circuit where a
successor to Judge McRoberts is to be
elected, the present understanding is that
the only candidates will be Judge Parks,
of Joliet, and Judge Gilbert of Ottawa,
Between these there can be little question
as to the outcome Of the contest Judge
Parks is an old man, having turned the
point at which in many of the older states
judges are retired on account of age, while
Judge Gilbert is young man, in the very
prime of vigorous manhood; and though a
claim may be made for Judge Parks that
he has had more experience on the bench
than his opponent, it may be questioned
whether an experience that has become
settled in old, worn out ruts, is preferable
to more youthful vigor that is bold
enough to strike out for new ideas, reforms

thus far to have the inside track and will
probably be the only candidate.

Thousand Islands in the River ST. Law
renee, where Gen John A. Logan and wife
were known to be enjoying brief vaca
ton, that the worthy pair, together with
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Marsh, of New York
had been capsized in boat near Stave Is
land and drowned. A dispatch half an
hour later, however, greatly mitigated the
horrors of the case by announcing that the
parties, though in the utmost danger, had
all been successfully rescued ltappears the
four persons named had been placed in a
boat little off shore to be taken in group
by photographer, and while waiting tor
the adjustment of the camera, in some I'M
accountable way the boat was caPsized.
Gen. Logan, who is good swimmer,
successfully brought his fainting wife to
the shore himself, while the other two
were rescued by the boatmen.

ELECTING L. S. SENATOR'S BY VOTE OF
THE PEopLE.--A petition TO congress based
upon the following recital of facts and
conclusions, is present being largely cir
culated in this region and is receiving hun
dreds of signatures:
WHEREAS the congress OF the United
States has granted and conveyed to railroad
corporations as much Of the public land as
would make five states as large as New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, 139, 403, 02G acres of land;
And whereas all four of the political par
ties that put presidential tickets in the field
nut planks in their platform condemning
the giving away of any more OF the public
lands TO railroad corporations, and the great
Republican party, in their platform of June
9th. 1884, say: ave demand of congress
the speedy forfeit of all land grants which
have lapsed by reason of non compliance
with the acts of incorporation"
And whereas the house did pass bills for
feiting over 100000 of acres of land, CO.

not pass any of those bills of forfeiture, and
lHt ltlt CtCltluly vi lIt iutcii'i i1ou'' pa
tents TO railroad corporations giving over
700, 900 acres of the unearned lands that the
house had passed as forfeited;
And whereas the Reagan bill to regulate
commerce between the states was so amend
ed and changed by the United States Sen
ate as to defeat the object intended, destroy
ing the effect of the law through railroad
influence and dictotion;
And whereas the state OF Illinois, among
others, has spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars in electing L. s. Senators, with any
amount of corruption, bribery and fraud,
and large percentage of time, and in 9th
er states, kansas, for example, in trying to
elect Pomeroy L. 5. SENATOR bribery was
shown by state senator York which killed
Pomeroy politically; and it is claimed that
Window was beaten in the Minnesota le-
gslature for L. S. Senator by railroad infiu-
ence and money; and believing that United
States Senators should be responsible to
the people whose servants they should be,
we hold that they should be elected by the
legal voters of the severnl states the same
as the governors and all other state officers
are elected. Therefore We petition, NC.

The city of Montreal is suffering from a
severe epidemic of smallpox the victims
including Sir Francis Hincks, one of the
most prominent men in Canada. The
deaths for a couple of weeks past have
averaged from 30 to 80 day, and Father
Dugas, II French Canadian priest, says
there are a thousand cases in his parish
alone. which includes less than third of
the city. 1t is worthy of note that the dis
ease prevails almost entirely among the
French Canadians, who are strongly preju-
diced against vaccination and only submit
to it on compulsion. Among the socalled
" Proestants," who have no such prejudice
and practice vaccination freely, the deaths
have not numbered over half dozen.
In most American cities where the SUI
perstitious hostility to vaccination has been
stamped out, the smallpox pest has been
stamped out with it. In New York, for
instance, where the majority of the inhab-
itants living in crowded tenements the
conditions are peculiarly favorable for the
propagation of the contagion, the disease,
on account of the thorough system of vacci-
nation and revaccination that is there en-
forced, is almost unknown, not over half II
dozen cases year having occurred in the
last ten years. Boston has rid itself of the
pest in like manner, and nearly all the
rest of our larger cities are taking the same
sensible course

FALLING INTO LINE.

| Such are the eXigencies of our manifold
system of ballot boxing that ne sooner is
one great political battle fought and won
or lost thanlithe contending hosts begin to
rub up their old weapons and fall into line
for new encounters.
Last week we mentioned that the Dem
ocrats of Ohio had held their state conyen.
ton and renomnated lIoadley for Govern
or, against whom sthe Republicans had
pitted Judge Foraker; and now the papers
are filed with the openingl speech Of the
Ohio campaign on the Republican side,
made at Mount Gilead, in the good old
county Of Morrow, on Wednesday, by John
Sherman. AS the first really authentic
pronouncement from the Republican side
since Blalne's Augusta fusilade, soon after
his defeat last fall, the speech of John
Sherman naturally attracts attention. 1t IS
not a little disappointing, however, after
the general outburst of disapproval if not
disgust with which Blaine's Augusta screed
was received, that John Sherman, after so
many months to cool off, should have moth
ing better to offer than substantially to re-
iterate what was hardly excused in Blaine,
though uttered under the smart and disap.
pointment of recent defeat. !. He dragged
out and shook over the heads of his audi.
ence the same old CORY garment that
Blaine had disguised the country with,
having little to add except to find fault
with the attitude of the administration with
regard to mail subsides.and the great lob
ly king, John Roach.
The Pennsylvania Democrats held a state
at Harrisburg on the same day
that Sherman talked at Mt. Gilead and
nominated Conrad b. Day, of Philadelphia,
for state treasurer, the only state officer to
be elected this fall. The platform adopted
cordially approves the Democratic re-
form administration of President Cleve-
land; endorses the administration of Gov
Pattison, and denounces in such bitter
and earnest terms as 10 show that il Is to
be made prominent question in the cleo
lion, the recent deal by which Vanderbilt
sold out the South Pennsylvania and Beech
Creek railroad to the Pennsylvania Central.
The Iowa Republicans held their state
at Des Moines on the eth.
They had candidates for Governor and |
Lieutenant Governor to nominate, as well |
rs for Supreme Judge and state school su. |
)erintendent. w. N. Larabee, of Fayette,

,ver Capt. j. A. RI Hull, of Polk, after a

lated for Lieut.. Governor. Jos NJ Beck
