MACHINERY.-It gives us pleasure
to call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement ofMr. Wayne Allcott,
dealer in engines, threshers, cotton gins,
presses, etc, etc. BY a little study and
from experience Of others, purchasers
can readily see the advantage of buying
machinery through good reliable agent.
His interest is as much for the purchaser
as the manufacturer and he cannot af-
ford to allow any manufacturer to i'm
pose upon a purchaser. He stands
equally between both and requires both
to comply with their agreement. We
are glad to see this business again start
ed here, and from the well-known reli-
able and thorough business enterprise
of Mr.. Wayne Allcott, we predict, as he
deserves, we'll merited success.

BURNED TO DEATH. Chicago, March
2S.-As Mr.. j. Babeaf, Of No. 875 West
Polk street, was sitting in his residence
at seven O'Clock last evening he heard the
cries of a woman. Running over, he dis
covered a lady lying in a small pool Of
water, her face SO scorched and blackened
that he could not distinguish the features.
"Who are you p he asked.
Mrs. Sanford, was the family moan
ed reply. Help was summoned and the
lady picked up and carried into Taylor's
drug store. Here it was found that the
whole upper portion of her garments had
been burned off. Her breast, arms, face
and head were scortched and bllstered.
and she suffered the most excruclating
agony. After a little while she was taken
home, where she fingered in intense pain
until six a. u. to day, when she died.
Mrs. Sanford had been down town
shopping in the afternoon. After tea she
sat in the sitting room reading an even
ing paper. Over her head was a hang
ing lamp. Suddenly, without warning,
the lamp loosened from its fastenings and
came down with a crash. 1t broke, the
oil caught fire, and the burning fluid was
dashed over her. No one else was in the
room but her only daughter, a child OF
five years.
