who is responsible for the disturbance,
but there are many theories advanced.
One is that they came from Congressman
Gests house, and were occasioned by a
burglar fright, but the most plausible one
is that the noise was created by Lee Gait

the mortal existence of pair of. mascu

There is now on exhibition in the va
cant lot near the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad depot, the latest inven-
ton in wind mills, which has claims su-
perior to any other kind manufactured
1t is called the Horizontal Wind Mill &"
The fans, or wind Catchers, are coucaye
in shape and are made entirely of sheet
iron. The governor is operated the same
as on a steam engine. The mill on exhi.
hition is four horse power and only a
SIX foot wheel equal in power to a six
teen foot wheel of the old STYLE.
Another good feature about this
machine Is, that it does no,
require climbing sinto the tower to oil
the machinery, and it is claimed TO be
more durable as it is made entirely of
iron and 1t is not as heavy as the old
wooden mills. And the claim is also
made that it has more power than any
wind mill made. The inventor is A
frenchman named August St. D. Au-
burn, and the manager is D. C. Cutting,
who is on the ground at all times to show
the merits of his mill, and is very desir.
Gus OF having all those who use or con
template using wind mill to call and
see him and look at his invention. He
would go into the manufacture of his
mills here if suitable inducements were
offered him.

NOTIFY A MURDER CASE


REYNOLDS, 1855 Mr. W. Kuhus:
l notify You murder case, boy named
John Dawes, Bohemian. have bin works
en- at Mr. W. W. W. johnson and John
&. Johnson base bin killed. notify
You to arrest MIR W. W W. johnson
and son, John G. johnson. If you to not

prosecute you. he ware killed in the
mout of March, 1888 Notify the sheriff
in Rock Island county and Mercer coun>
ty, they shall find the remains OF
the body John Dawes, on one
of the Johnson farms in Mercer
county Illinois. The main witness
OF this murder case shall he be given to
the sheriff after these two men. W W. W.
johnson and his son. John T. johnson,
are arrested"
Attached to each of the notices was
piece of Grape. The declation of the
murder case soon reached the ears of
Mr. Johnston and his son. who, after in.
vestigation, Immediately concluded that
the author was young man by the name
Charles Richer, who worked for Mr.
Lloyd who lived near Reynolds.
A warrant was issued for Richer's ar
rest and yesterday morning the case was
heard by the justice and Richer bound
over for criminal libel in the sum of $3.50.
Mr.. VIM. jackson appeared for the John
stons.
The examination developed the fact
that Richer has become cranky on the
subject of religion and of girls. He
seems to entertain the idea that Dawes
had interfered with him in love matter.
III the same connection he pretends that
the Johnstons have been interfering with
him. He says Dawes disappeared in the
spring and went some where but where
he could not ind out; that his disappear
ance had troubled his conscience and he
concluded to make the charge against the
Johnstous that the disappearance of
Dawes should be investigated. Dawes is
man that Richer claims he brought TO
church and had him converted, SO that
he was interested to know what had be.
come of him. The posting of these no.
tees naturally aroused the indigna-
ton of the Johnstons. for they then
learned that this same man had been
writing lewd letters to them and posting
them on the fence near their residence,
but on hearing the young mans explains
ton and his ridiculous reasons. they
were disposed to believe him to
he of doubtful sanity on the
Dawes question coupled with his
love experience, aud at their request the
court fixed the bail at the amount stated
that the young man may be restrained
for the present. until his condition may
be further investigated. The people are
somewhat aroused. but Richer's con-
science NAV lead him to do worse acts,
and are disposed to insist that his mental
condition may be made special subject
of inquiry. The course taken by Mr..
Johnston was fully approved by the peo-
Pile. A great deal of contempt was felt
because of the libelous act, but when the
matter was heard, it was thought to be
the foolish act of person somewhat I'm.

How to Make an Easy Rug.

Take a pieceiOf' Brussels or tapestry
carpet the size desired. With wooden
needles and Germantown yarn knit a
lace about four OF five inches wide,
choosing an easy pattern. The color
OF the yarn should contrast well
with the prevailing color in the car
pet. although maroon o cardinal usu-
ally looks well with any colOrs used
for this purpose. Sew the lace
around the piece OF carpet as a
border. and you will be surprised
how nice it will look. This is so
simple to maize that any n who can
use the knitting needles can make q
handsome rug in a very short time
If a harder yarn is liked, the Scotch
Starlight will answer the purpose, for
it wears excellently. For those who
crochet but do not knit. any crochet
edge will look pretty, providing the
hook used is coarse, as the ccarser this
edge is made the prettier it will look.

An AnecdOte Charxcteris' Of King Lud.
wig /. Of Bavaria.
King Ludwig /. of Bavaria. whose
name is being recalled at the present
time in various ways. was - much
noted for his lavish expenditure of
money in identifying his capital as for
his economy in minor matters. 1t is
said he wore the same old coat to be
shaved in for forty years. and when-
ever it rained SEM a lackey for his old
umbrella. saying it was too bad to use
the new one, for it had cost seven
gulden. The following anecdote is
quite characteristic of the King: Among
the many privileges enjoyed by all
persons in the slightest way connected
with the court. during the reign of his
easy-gOing predecessor King Max.
from the chief marshal down to the
oven heater, was that of having their
sOiled linen washed in the royal laun-
dry. Shortly after King Ludwig's ac-
cessiOn. as he was standing one morn
ing looking out of the palace window.
his wonder and curiosity were aroused
by seeing numerous wagons drive up,
m after the other in front of the royal
residence. all laden with mysterious
looking bundles. which disappeared
within the palace walls. Sending for
his castelar,. the King inquired the
meaning of this strange procession.
MAY it please your Majesty" replied
the astOnished castelar,. lit was ever
the custom of our late King of blessed
memory to allow q few needy and
deserving persons to send their wash
ing to the royal laundry" "A few
persons" exclaimed Ludwig; ''nearly
an hour have l been standing ut this
window, and there is still nOend to the
procession. This is an imposition, a
downright imposition, and it shall go
NO longer" And he gave strict Or
ders to have the bundles remain III
opened. to keep them till Easter Tues
day. when they we're to be returned
with a strict injunction
never to be sent again. The result
was, adds our chrOnicler. that half of !

such a thing as cOngestive sleep, bat
during normal sleep the brain IS mt
mic. When apersOn has tIllen a fairly
abundant lunch or dinner the stomach
demands a special influx OF blood
wherewith o accomplish its work of
digestion; no organ can more easily
comply with that demand than the
brain, which. when in full, activity. is
suifused with a maximum amount Of
the vital fluid. But a derivation of
blood from the brain to the stomach
can only take place. except in excep-

sons. or the condition that the ccrs.-
