A Horse ON a Tight Rope.


The announcement that rope.walking
horse named Blondin would prance over Nj!
agara Falls on tight rope, on September
Iath evoked the liveliest INTEREST among
horsemen. The exhibition was however en-
Joined by Henry Bergh, President Of the So.
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Ami
mails. The New York Morning Journal thus
describes the animal
Blondin Is Jet black and has sparkling eyes
that CLEAN with intelligence. He was four
years old last spring and stands fourteen and
a half hands high. His weight Is 800 pounds
Blondin's proficiency on the tight rope is due
to the patience and training Of young Adam
Forepaugh, a son Of the veteran circus mana
ger. Young Forepaugh, had an idea for
several years that horse could be taught to
do as difficult tricks as a man, and he kept
his eyes open for an animal that would suit
him. He had three or four promising coils
and endeavored to teach them how to bal.
ance on rope. but they all evinced an in
clinat,on to draw dump cart on terra hrma
rather than be an equine star and run the
risk Of breaking their necks. AT Weslches-
ter, Penn, Adam Forepaugh saw pretty
black colt and he purchased it. The colt
proved uaclable and exceedingly intelligent,
and he took it to Philadelphia when the cir
Gus went into winter quarters. For three
hours each day Blondin, as the colt was
named, was made to practice. AT first the
colt evinced considerable fear and could
hardly be induced to walk 4 inch plank
elevated Two feet from the ground. BY de-
grees, however, Blondin grew to know what
to make a name in the arena. Young Fore
paugh soon discovered that the common
steel or iron shoes were drawback to Bon.
din's success, and he had rubber shoes made
for the horse. They cover tbs whole foot.
and are crossed and indented so as to give
them a hold upon the rope. These shoes
have proved very successful, although they
have to be frequently replaced. Blondin was
soon taught to walk three -inch rope, and
then he became proficient enough TO walk
one only two inches in diameter, the size
used in his exhibitions at present. At first
he frequently fell off the rope, and he shook
his head knowingly as much as to say, "l'll
walk that rope or smash something The
rope was gradually hoisted to height of ten
feet, and Blondin gave his first public exhibit
ton at that elevation. In walking he steps
slowly and carefully, and has not had fall
from the rope in several months. Blondin
now walks al an elevation of twenty feet,
and goes backward with the same speed and
safety as forward.

Eating Only a Habit.

Judge McCue, OF California, now in Wash.
ington, told friend few days ago that he
had solved the food problem, and that he
could live in Washington on ten cents day.
Asked for an explanation he said: usu-
ally turn out at about II o'clock and take
breakfast. 60 to the dairy around the cor.
ner and tuy cup of coffee for cents and
with the other hve cents get FIVE Maryland
biscuit"
"Well, that exhausts your ten cents, Judge;
how do you get your other meals 2"
al am coming to that presently my friend.
Don't be inpatient and you shall have the
whole story. My breakfast is eaten slowly
and well digested. 1t generally lasts me un'
Ill about 4 in the afternoon. AT that time
the gnawing Of hunger begins to assert itself.
This is where my discovery comes in al.
ways 60 provided with several pieces Of
alum. When begin to get hungry Iplace
one Of these bits Of alum in my mouth and
allow it slowly to dissolve. The effect is that
it contracts the throat and the stomach, and
the sensation Of hunger disappears. repeat
the dose until bedtime and fall asleep like
a child. Gentlemen let me tell you thai
eating is nothing but habit after all."-N

MR.. PLUMB ON MR., FORE0P,

The editor of the Streator FREE Press'
Mr.. Fornof, has of late been INDUCING
himself in some rather bitter comments
upon the editor of the FREE TRADER The
editor of the FREE TRADER has no dlspo-
sition to retort in kind to do so would be
not only unfair but just a trii'e ungenefouS
towards brother editor Unfortunately
for him he has not the honor Of an intimate
personal acquaintance with Mr. forhoI'
and therefore is unable 10 state to the
readers of the FREE TRADER just what
kind of man Mr.. Fornof is.
He believes, however, he Is Jealous IN
his advocacy of Mr. Shay for the state sen
ate. and he knows he IS deyout worship
er of Mr.. Plumb The fact that his anger
AT the editor OF this paper was called out
by some allusion to his distinguished
statesman friend, is proof that he IS true
70 his friends, and therefore will not cues
ton aught that his friends may say OF him,
Ii is In this view of the case that we give
Mr. Fornof's friend, Mr.. Plumbs estimate
of Nj Fornof. Some years ago Mr. For
nof was a candidate for the position OF
postmaster at Streator, and Mr.. Cullen,
then a member of congress, sought Mr.,
Plumb's advice on the subject. Mr..
Plumb's advice was this: "Fornofs APP
pointment would be calamity. He Is
nothing but kind of a loafer, who stands
around on the street corners and smokes
cheap cigars"
Mr.. Plumb may have been incorrect in
his estimate of Mr.. Fornof, but Dir. For.
nof is hardly in position to question the
truthfulness OF any statements made by
his chief.

the number Of those tried In the same pc.

the number Of those tried In the same pc
riod by the Circuit Court.
Another fact not TO be overlooked ia the
great increase in voluntary assignments
MANY of these cases involve great labor up
on the part of the court, and require high
order of ability for their proper dispose
ton, Ii is we'll known fact that during
the past two years the work performed 10y
the court in these cases has been almost
equal TO that performed by the Circuit
Court upon its chancery docket, Besides,
the questions involved are often as difficult
to decide as any which arise in the Circuit
Court.
The trial Of common law and criminal
cases, and the hearing of assignment mat
tiers is not the only labor imposed upon the
county Judge. The insane cases, which
are constantly increasing, demand atten
ton, each requiring trial by jury of six.
In view Of all these facts there is no
ground, excepting malice, for the assertion
that the Office of county Judge has been or
is now sinecure, or that the labor per
formed by the judge is not Sufficient TO
justify the allowance of salary of 2,4OO
If the salary of circuit Judge should be
$500, no good reason can exist for regard
ing the present salaries of the county and
probate judges as too high
As TO the manner in which Judge Gilbert
has discharged the duties Of his Office
nothing need now be said When his qbil-
ity, integrity or fidelity as a Judge or citi-
zen is brought in question by any reputa-
bic newspaper or individual, it will be time
enough to discuss that question. That he
has not satisfied and is not able to satisfy
every lawyer in La Sale county is doubt
less true, for that is an undertaking, which
if possible at all, could only be accom-,
plished by Omnipotence.

HON. HIRAM H, CODY.

With wisdom that cannot be praised
too highly the democratic congressional
convention on Wednesday, at Joliet, placed
in nomination by reclamation, for congress
slonal honors, In this the Eighth District of
Illinois, Hon, Hiram H. Cody, of Naper.
vile, Du Page county. The nomination
Of Judge Cody is In every sense of the
word creditable one, and one that will
inspire every democrat In the district with
strong hopes of party success 1t not only
Is source of congratulation to the party
70 which the distinguished jurist owes his
allegiance, but Is nomination that affords
the voters of the district who are without
the pale of the democratic party an oppor,
tunity to cast their ballots for man WHO'S
thoroughly capable of discharging the du-
ties of the position for which he has been
named-one who In all the walks of life as
been honest and honorable.
The appeal Is now made to the citizens
of the Eighth district, irrespective of past
or present political affiliations, to assist in
bringing about the election of Judge Cody
NOT because he Is democrat or the nom.
inee OF the democratic party, but because
he is an honest publicis and an honorable
gentleman. Because his nomination came
TO him without the profligate use of money.
because he has never purchased the influ-
ence Of the press Because he has never
debauched the elective franchise.
The honest voters of the Eighth Distric,
are asked to support Judge Cody because
lie is a man of principle and high minded
motives; because he is not demagopue
and political weathercock.
They are asked TO bring abou, his cleo
ton because the honor Of the district is a,
stake; because his election will remove
from the district the unenviable title Of
commercial" because the people ough,

A CARD,

Mr.. Elias e. Hathaway, of Ottawa, a
candidate for the position of sheriff, sub.
ject to the decision of the democratic coun-
ty convention, has asked that the subjoined
card be published in the FREE TRADER,
and his request has been granted. There
is but one word to be said in reference to
the card, and that is, that whatever has
been said about independent conventions,
Independent candidates, ring, and so on,
has emanated from the Journal, the GLoJe
and the UT9!d, all Of which have been tie
ardent supporters of Mr.. Hathaway. If
today he finds himself accused of having
made statements relative TO being an indie
pendent candidate, he has no one TO blame
but his over Jealous supporters. The FREE
TRADER warned the candidates at the out
set to be discreet, and, in return, got no
answer, especially from the papers above
named, but ring ring" "moltgaged
sheet" etc. Mr. Hathaway says that he
shall abide by the decision of thar con
vention" No candidate who will not
abide by the decision of the convention
has right to ask nomination at its hands
So, too, might be added that the candidates
who are talking ring, ""rng,' are placing
themselves in a very unenviable light in
case they should be successful in securing
nomination The EDITOR.

one who, under any and all circumstances
is not man Of unquestioned integrity
Tho citizens of the district should elect
Judge Cody because he is honest in his
private dealings and honorable In his poii''
ical transactions. The citizens OF the
Eighth District should defeat Ralph Plumb
because his private dealings have ever
been questionable and his political career
dishonorable.

OTTAWA, ILL, Sept, "A, 1886.
EEITOR FRER TRADER:

Democratic candidates are in hard times
Many are called, by themselves, but few are
chosen, by the ring. For instance, Hathaway
has heretofore imagined he had some show 10
become the democratic candidate for sheriff
This illusion has been dispelled. His chances
have gone glimmerng He appealed to false
gods. III his wrath he cries out aud spareth
not. He has determined to run Oh an indie
pendent ticket, providing he does not get the
nomination. Whom the gods destroy they
first make mad"
The above article, taken from the Streat-
or Free Press of Sept. 22d, Is one Of many
other statements given currency to by evil
and designing enemies of myself, relative
to my candidacy for the nomination of
myself for sheriff of this county Thus
far have taken no notice of these attacks,
as have considered them unworthy of at.
tention, considering the source from which
they have emanated. The above state
ment, however, feel to be direct attack
upon my political integrity, therefore am
constrained TO say that, | have never, In
any instance, said that If / was not uomin-
ated at the coming democratic convention
that | would run Independent. | will say
now. however, that shall dbide tie deciSi n
of that convention. SO those individuals
who are taking so much interest In my
welfare will confer favor upon me II they
will cOniine themselves to the truth, which
will be much more to their credit than to
be engaged in this dirty, mud Singing bus
mess, and attacking the character of every
candidate except the ones in whom they
are personally interested

On Saturday evening last what was fierce
storm of wind, lightning, thunder and rain,
hut doing little damage here, at Joliet at $50
p. NJ, turned into a bowling sweeping yclone.
1t blew down and damaged about 100 dwell
ings and barns, unrooiei many houses and
barns, tore up sidewalks. leveled trees, a
large grain elevator was totally ruined,
street lamps were extinguished and much
damage done. While there was much de-
struction of property, very few persons
were injured, and only one little child,
perhaps, fatally. The cyclone was about 81 0
feet wide, and it left its track as plainly as
though a gigantic mower had left a swath
through the city. 1t passed through the
end of the city, in northeasterly direction.
The loss is estimated at SO. 900 to $4,000.

alone east of the river in the outskirts Of
Geneva, Kane Co., was found murdered, one
night last week. Neighbors discovering her
dwelling to be on fire, ran to her relief and
by an accident her body was found in the
chicken house. She had been strangled by a
cloth tied around her neck and evidently
mad been dead some hours before the house
was fired. The indications are that after the
murderer had killed his victim he dragged
the body TO the hen house. Two hundred
and forty dollars in gold were found in
