The Turner's at La Sale.

There were from four hundred to FIVE
hundred Turner's in La Sale on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, and they, combined
with thousand others, consisting of their
sisters, wives, sweet hearts ana friends, made
the city hum like metropolis. The pro.
gramme opened with grand torchlight pro-
cession in the way Of q reception to the
guests on Saturday evening.
Sunday, at s a. m., there was a grand
parade through the streets of La Sale to the
Driving Park, where the athletic tournament
was held through the day. In the evening

He Was a Ouitter.

Our own VIII Hemmerle, the little
cyclone that sweeps past the grand stand
in 1915 seconds every time he puts in a
hundred yard race. had been training for
four long and weary weeks to run away
from Pat Neary, an alleged sprinter from
Utica. William had posted a forfeit. So
had Patrick. William was in excellent
trim, and on last Saturday was debating
whether he would challenge the State after
finishing Neary, or quietly pursue his cho-
sen vocation. But fate and Neary had
ruled otherwise, for the postman gave him
letter, not the one that never but
from Utica and Neary Neary said that he
was tired and didn't want TO run anyhow.
The climate of Utica was not fitted for
training, and he was adverse to extinguish'
ing home industry by hiring training
ground in some other town. He referred
to the claims of business and society, and
begged Wills good wishes in his retire.

that Neary can get over hundred yards In
fifteen seconds, about four and half sec

The Target Rife Again.

While Mr.. Sherman Leland and family
were seated in their sitting room on Friday
evening last a bullet crashed through the
bay window and buried itself In the oppo-
site wall, fortunately not harming any of
the family. MIR. Leland's house is on the
bank of the Illinois river, and thinking
the shot may have come from the water,
he went down TO the edge TO investigate,
and found that lady, one of party of
four, consisting of three ladies aud gen.
tlemsn who were boating, had carelessly
fired a rifle, as she supposed, into the air.
Seeing Mr.. Leland on the bank, and think
ing some one had been struck by the ball
she tainted away, but was speedily recus-
citated and assured that no one was injured.
This incident will, il is hoped, serve to
make night firing unpopular.

The protectionist howl of "free trade"
goes on agains' the Mills bill, which gives
an average of twenty ytwo per cent protec-
ton, and against the presidents message,
which In every line II draws the most
careful regard for the protected interests.
The president said in this much abused
message, speaking of the workmen en-
gagged in the protected industries:
Their compensation, as il may be effected
by the operations of tariff laws, should at
all times be scrupulously kept in view.
He added:
The reduction of taxation demanded
should he so measured as not 70 necessitate
or Justify either the loss of employment by
the workingman nor the lessening of his
wages, and the profits still remaining TO the
manufacturer after necessary adjust
ment should furnish no excuse for the
sacrifice of the interest of his employees
either in their opportunity to work or In
the diminution of their compensation.
He said
The manufacturing interests constitute
a leading and most substantial element OF
our national greatness and furnish the
proud proof of our country's progress.
He adds:
Our progress toward wise conclusion
will not be improved by dwelling upon the
theories of protection and free trade. This
savors too much of bandying epithets. IL
is condition which confrOnts us-not a
theory. Relief from this condition may
involve slight reduction of the advantages
which we award our home productions, but
the entire withdrawal of such advantages
should not be contemplated. The question
of free trade Is absolutely irrelevant, and
the persistent claim made in certain quar-
ters that all efforts TO relieve the people
| from unjust and unnecessary taxation are
schemes of socalled free traGers Is mis-
chievous and far removed from any consid'
GRAFTON for the public good.
The simple and plain duty which We
owe the people is 10 reduce taxation to the
necessary expenses of an economical opera.
ton of the government and to restore &c
the business of the country the money
which we hold in the treasury through the
perversion of governmental powers. These
things can and should be done with safety
TO all our industries, without danger 10 the
opportunity for remunerative labor whicf
our workmen need and with benefit to then
and all our people, by cheapening thei1
means of subsistence and increasing the
means of their comforts.
1t is about the message which thus con-
servatively deals with the tariff question
and about the Mills bill made on its lines
which leaves an average tariff of forty
two per cent that the present capitalists
monopolists and trusts, and their agent
and spokesmen in congress raise the how
of free trade.'

In Memoriam Of Mr.. Timothy GaheD

WHO DIED JUNE l3, 1Sss'I
Ye are cad and lonely tonight,
Through your tears ye cannot see,
Another less In number now,
For your father has gone from thee.
His loving voice no more you'll hear,
His kindly look ano loving face
50 dear and precious TO your hearts,
Ye miss from Its 'customed place.
And tonight your home Is 50 lonely,
And your hearts with grief are rent
As sitting so sadly you recall
His words before he went.
And his acts Of gentle kindness
You so lovingly recall,
Had endeared him 10 the household;
And you miss him, one and all.
Your loved and cherished fathers
Life's journey is safely DER,
For he has gone 10 everlasting rest,
In that happy land of the blest, 10 suife
nc more,
Ye bitterly questioned why
Did darling Timmie die?
God called him at an earlier date
To his Father, 70 meet at heavens gate
Strive not to check the tear drops
Which fall like summer rain.
The sun of hope shines through them
Ye all shall meet again.
Oh! weep but with rejoicing,
Our Saviour wept In love,
And he looks In pity on thee
From His glorious throne above,

Origin OF Ottawa's superior Advantages
Way back in the realms Of chaos dark,
Ere earth endowed with vital spark,
10 burst IN flame, or vegits'e,
The hills to adorn or flowers create,
Dame Nature CHANGED TO be passing by,
and true to her instinct with business eye
she brooded long in meditation,
Resolved to aid in grand creation,
Aud out Of darkness into light
Bring forth verdure, beaming, bright.
Mountains, hills, and valleys fair,
Decked with foliage or flow rets rare;
Fer down through the isles Of coming Tint
She foressw man, and works sublime.
And she knew that he would exactiDg be,
And relentless, too, SO the fathomless sea.
So after travelling the earth for ages,
Pal ming for the medium and the sages,
For I'm )ires and cities, village or town,
In short, any place worthy OF renown,
She came TO the region where we nov dwell.
This quoth she, IN handle well
I'll build here canons, grand and deep.
That shall last with Times unerring sweep.
And then she reared Of granite bold
Starved Rock, whose tale hath oft been told
Then she came to our city's site
Where the Fox and Illinois unite.

For beautiful city for the coming man

Living fountains Of joy and mirth;
And mineral spring by riv>r's side

And sent the waters ripping through it,

She smiled in satisfaction sweet.
The site she gave us lacks in naught,
And proud was she Of the work thus wrought.
And still, this jealous town of La Sale,
