Esta X. Olsen, Norwegian woman from

jury. She is thirty nine years old, mar
red, and has several children. Her malady
was the result Of religious excitement.
Rosalia Eaudes, a married woman from
Streator, was declared insane on the same
day. Hers was very pitiable case. A
hard struggle to keep the wolf from the
door had dethroned her reason. She was
accompanied to the court room by six small
children, the eldest eight years old. Her
husband, a laborer, is ill at the Streator

his best speeches to the boys.

are few extracts from his address: Mr.

everything, and reduce them almost In

Hon. +. G. Lewis was chairman of the

was the best thing on earth for us-a sure
cure for all diseases of the pocketbook-

Then did the august chairman Introduce
Murdoch, of Streator, but Jay felt sighted
and introduced himself once again. He
told the crowd how much his wife's dresses
cost, closing with vulgar story-his spec
ial pride.
But we almost forgot TO mention the
Star quartette, which was about the only
feature of the occasion. The
next on the programme was Mr.. Ross, OF
the enterprising town Of Oglesby. His
head worked on a pivot however, and he
soon disguised the noble concOurse. So
ended the war dance, but 1t will ever live
In the memories of our contemporaries,
On Tuesday evening of this week
another side show was exhibited at the
Farm Ridge hail. This time McDougall,
the immaculate, and Snow, of Ottawa, did
their party service. Snow said that he
had been soldier In the late war ana that
he was not ashamed of 1t strange for II
republican,.
He went on to say that Andrew Jackson
was a republican aud quoted from letter
to that effect, but the mob Missed anu
wouldn't believe him.
McDougall began by slandering the
democratic party to the full extent Of his
oratorial powers and at the extent OF
common sense, saying that the democratic
party wandered after strange gods ana
flags, (however he did not tell that the re-
publiCans went on a wild goose chase after
a phantom presidential chair and white
house,. After singing n slur at Ottawa's
worthy p NJ. he was comforted and wept
for joy. And behold they went forth from
the synagogue and all WAS still save tor the
constant contradictions of the katy.dids,
