Washington.

The President reached Washington after
his summer vacation at 6 o'clock on Mon
day morning, and was at his desk ready
for business by 0 o'clock. His first atten.
ton, of course, was given to the current
work that had accumulated during his alb
sence, which must occupy several days be-
fore he can turn his attention to the more
important" business of appointments.
As early as Wednesday, however, he got
time to give his attention to the case of
Miss Ada Sweet, the pension agent at Chi.
cago, who had Unexpectedly sent in her
resignation. 1t was accepted at once and
the widow of Col. Milligan was appointed
in her place Miss Sweet admits that her
resignation was fastened by political pres.
sure, but as her time would be up in few
months anyhow, she resigns at once to &c
cept position offered her by the proprie-
tors of a new electric invention, of which
she Is TO have the general eastern manage
ment, with general headquarters in New
York.
The President also found time next day
TO attend to the Chicago Internal Rev
enue Office appointing Rensselaer, Stone
collector IN place of Joel ID. Harvey. Mr..
Stone, it appears was the candidate of
neither of the Democratic congressman
from Chicago, but was appointed through
the influence Of the Chicago merchants
aided by Col. Morrison.
Secretary Bayard, in very sensible note,
replies to the application in behalf of Louis
Riel, the Canadian rebel, on the ground
that he is an American citizen, declining
TO interfere lie says, unless it can be
shown that Riel has not had fair trial, the
Government can take no notice of his case.

Tuesday night will be remembered for
years for the severest storm that has ever
visited large region extending from
Southern Illinois across Indiana and Ohio
TO the Alleghanies The most terrible
sufferer, however, was the town of Wash
ington Court House, Ohio, a lively place Of
over 1000 inhabitants, and which was al
most totally demolished. with loss of 10
persons killed outright and 100 badly in
iured. Every public building and business

residences we're destroyed. The loss was
over million OF dollars. The storm was
also very severe In Lancaster county, Ohio,

The Gossiper.

Croquet by torch-light is the popular
rage at Earlville just now. Every one in
flat village who can afford we'll kept
lawn, has it Illuminated, and the young
folks are said to be fast becoming expert
players. All the manageable young Ia
dies will wear engagement rings ere the
season closes.
The young men are noticing that, the
young ladies are parting with their bangs
reluctantly, as that style is now becoming
questionable. The bang is destined to
90, and it is departing slowly but surely,
In short time you may expect to see what
an Ottawa lady's forehead looks like.

Hale, the Utica Blade man, hints at the
pitiful story of his own experience while
in this city, and denies the soft impeach-
ment that he has been cruelty Tilted, as
follows: "A malicious story is atloat to the
effect that an Ottawa girl went back on her
lover because he was SO bow-legged she
could not sit on his lap"

beheaded, its crop opened, and the tooth

How dear to my heart was the old family
bible, that stood on the table So solemn and
still; where often I've hid everything
thought liable to fall in the hands of my
bad brother Bill How ardent I've seized
it, with eyes that were glowing, and shook
its bright pages until out the things fell;
but now all its charming old secresies are
going, with this new-fangled bible the
bookstores do sell. The new.fangled bi
bic, the twenty cent bible, the new revised
bible, that says sheol for hell.

and as soon as he gets sober he will bid you

For a fashionable fall item the ladies
will probably be interested in this from the
Streator Times. It's rather late for the
Hubbard style of dress, and if "every
wise woman" has been making them at
Hardscrabble, it is now high time for
change: "The Mother Hubbard is highly
proper garment for ladies in warm wealth
err, and every wise woman has been wear
ing one about home this summer. The
fact that Mother Hubbards are worn by
women of bad habits amount to nothing.
The very best society has for many years
aped the fashions Of the low Partisan

WEDNESDAY, Sept. o.

Sup. Mclaughlin offered a resolution to
the effect that whereas certain paupers in
the county house are the owners of proper
ty which if properly managed would go
far towards supporting them, therefore the
county agent be directed, in the case OF
such inmates, to take the necessary steps TO
secure such property and apply it towards
reimbursing the county for expenditures in
behalf of such paupers. Adopted.
Sup. Fischer moved to reconsider the
resolution adopted yesterday in regard to
swamp lands lie said the board needed
more light on subject. He had been told
there were $4,000 in the job. The motion
prevailed-10 to band the subject was
made the special order 10 o'cl. to morrow
Adjourned to 8 O'Clock Thursday.

Pauper Accounts, asked and was granted
further time to report. The same indulg,

mine the judicial dockets of the county and
report the amount of fines due the school
fund collected and not paid over.
Gilett moved to reduce the dog tax to
80 cents. Griffin wanted it raised to So
Fades suggested that the tax was fixed by
statute which he feared this board had no
power to change. That ended it.
10 o'clock having arrived, the board took
up the special order-the swamp land reso-
ution, Mr.. Wiley was permitted to adj
dress the board saying the county undoubt-
edly had just claim for considerable
sum on account of swamp lands which lie
offered to collect at his own expense, Civ
ing the county half. sup. Norton read the
record of previous action by county on the
subject Chairman Lewis remarked that the
state undoubtedly had an equitable claim
against the general government on account
of swamp lands and all the claim La Sale
county had was against the state. He was
of opinion that the proposed contract with
Mr. Wiley at present would be truitless.
Nobody else seemed to have anything to

Board spent the balance of the morning
session in drawing grand jurors.
At the afternoon session summons was
read by the Clerk on the board to appear
in the circuit court AT Oct. term, 1888, as
defendants in suit brought against them
by justice Dougherty, of streator, for fees
he claims the county owes him. MIR. ID.

subject, but without taking any action the
board adjourned to o O'Clock tomorrow.
