ISS" we nave always SAID there were two
positions we would never occupy, il we
could avoid them, i. c., member of n Town
Council or IL County Commissioner. They
are the worst paid, the most important and
the most unthankful Offices Of any in the
gift Of the people and we are really sur
pr;scd at so many mcu seeking them.
If they do what they honestly believe to
DC for the best interests Of the town or
county some wise-acres are sure to bob up

Easter at the Churches.

Last Sunday was all that could be de-
sired, for Easter Sunday, in tho way of
weather. Itwas bright, clear aud braoing
dty, and the churches in Union were we'll
6lled with devout congregations. The
Episcopal and Methodist churches never
presented moro tasty and cheerful floral ap-
pesrancee.
The EPISCOPAL CHURCH,
from the rear to the altar, was decorated
with exquisite neatness and refined taste.
The Altar, Railing, Chanoel and Lecturn
were smiling, as it were, amid evergreens
and beautiful flowers. The whole church
looked the oceasion-joytul aud lovely and
the only distinctive decoration that we can
speak Of was the window at the pew Of the
late Dr. J. NJ. Gibbs, which was surrounded
by chord Of evergreen, q large cross and
anchor, with "In Memory Of ]. NJ. Gibbs"
in raised gilt letters upon it, entwinod by
pure white flowers, and surmo united by q
white dove, was suspended id the centre OF
the window, with q small white cross
nesting in n bed Of moss, flowers and ivy
at its base. 1t was very pretty and ap-
propriatc.
The usual Easter services were devoutly
participated in by large congregation,
and sermon Of great force, appropriate
to tho day, by the Rector, Rev. Mon Du-
Bose, was listened to with marked attention.
The METHODIST CHURCH.
The Methodist Church was very tastefully
decorated. In rear Of the Pulpit, over the
Pastors Chair was placed . Cross, made of
Evergreens, while the Altar and Desk were
festoned with flowers of all kinds, tastefully
arranged as only Ladies can do. In each
window was beautifully arranged flowers
and evergreeas.
In the morning the Pastor Rev. s. A.
Weber preached on appropriate sermon from
Psalms 10th chap. 1st verse, Bonn. 1st chap
4th verse.
In the evening tho Rev. NJ. D. Kelly
preached from the 68th Psalms, 10th verse;
blessed be the Lord; who daily loadeth US
,eith benefits; even the God of our salvation.
Selah.'
Mr.. Kelly, handled his subject in clear
and logical manner, Exhibiting deep thought

THE CRONIN CASE.
Mysterious Movements of the Prosecution

Mysterious Movements of the Prosecution
More Arrests.
CHICAGO, Oct 12.-Just as Judge Nc
Connell was about to take his seat on the
bench for the afternoon session of the
Cronin case he was asked BY the States
Attorney to wait awhile as the counsel for
the prosecution were in the midst Of an
important investigation. At quarter to
three one of the bailiffs entered with the
announcement that Judge Longenecker
was wanted down stairs. Judge Neon
nell went down also and at three O'Clock
he and Judge Longenecker returned to
the court room. Both had solemn faces
and the whisper went round that there
was q sensation on foot
As soon as Judge Mcconnell took his
seat on the bench States Attorney Louge.
necker said: In view of some matters
of which i have advised your honor.
shall have to ask this court to adjourn for
the present in order to enable US to com-
plete an investigation we are making"
Il am disposed to think" was the re-
Spouse of the court, from what know
of the matter that this is a reasonable re-
quest and, as have some business with
the drainage commission, the court will
stand adjourned until one O'Clock to-mor-
row afternoon"
Judge Longenecker hurried from the
room and the counsel for the defense
looked at each other in surprise. The I'M
expected adjournment was the subject Of
excited comment and especially in view
of the fact that extra detectives were
stationed at the doors of the States At
torney's Office. There was q rumor that
some one was inside making q confession.
Later in the day it was learned that
three new suspects were arrested by the
police. The greatest mystery prevails
around the criminal court building where
the men are confined. and neither States
Attorney Longnecker. his assistants, nor
the police will say any thing about the
men in custody.
Two stories are current, one that some
and most important Information bearing
on the case has been obtained and the
other that the matter under investigation
was no less than q case Of jury fixing.
The party giving the information claims
to have heard one of the officers make
remark that would support such q theory.

FARM NOTES.

Keep all the garden tools under cover il
you expect to have them in good condi-
tion.
Ii left for the wife to manage, poultry
on the farm can nearly always be made
profitable.
Nearly or quite all Of the work prepar-
atory to making a good lawn should be
done in the fall.
On small places it may in many cases be
advisable to plant fruit trees alons the
fences in order 10 save room. There are
few farms, or even suburban houses. but
where some room can be spared for fruit
trees or plants.
The garden should be plowed thorough
ly as soon as the late tomatoes cabbage
and celery can be taken up. In the gar
den, at least it will pay to pillow deep and
to keep the soil very rich by applying
plenty Of wsll.rotted manure.
Satisfy (called oyster plantl is very
hardy and may remain in the ground in
the rows through the winter without in
jury. 1t is not cultivated as extensively
as it should be, although it is one of the
best and hardest vegetables known.
Considering the low cost of building
silos in comparison with their storage
capacity, those who intend building can
not do better than to regard them as a
safe, permanent investment and build
them in a G BOD. substantial manner. or
whatever material it is made, the best
constructed silo will be the cheapest in

The Farmers Review thinks that indi-
cations point TO a much larger crop of
corn than has be-n anticipated by stats.

will not be equal to that Of 1883, except in
Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky and Kansas.
The Review estimates the total crop will
be 2 26s, 900 900 bushels. against l, 9SS 00O,-
900 bushels last year.
In the attempt to keep potatoes. turnips
and other root crops the farmer gives too
much protection against the cold. The
cellars. pits or bins should be constructed
in q manner to retain an even temperature
if possible. Heat sometimes does more
injury to such crops than cold. Sweet
potatoes should be kept at q temper AZURE
of about Is degrees White potatoes and
turnips keep best at about forty degrees.
J. E Martin has contributed the great
est wonder Of the day to our exhibit in
the shape Of q White Bermuda sweet

seven and one-half inches in circumfer-
ence. This is a genuine potato, and no
fraud about it in any way or manner.

STOCK ITEMS.

A cross may be better than q full blood
for feeding, but never for breeding.
Sheep and cattle should have separate
hay racks, as the rams are sometimes very
vicious and may do injury.
Let the hogs clean up the waste apples
under the trees and there will be fewer
waste fruits next year. There will also
be better hogs this year.
A good deal of fodder can be used in
feeding calves during the winter and with
a small quantity of bran and oil-meal can
be kept making good growth.
Prizes for grade males at fairs should Be
only for steers, barrows or wethera The
farmers should be encouraged to use only
pure.bred males for breeding purposes.
The male is really half the herd or flock,
so far as the value Of the offspring is con.
cerned. To breed from a grade male is a
backward step.
Stockmeu who have made observations
IN feeding swine are claiming that some
of the breeds have lost vigor by long-con-
tinued feeding of corn as an exclusive
food Corn is deficient in mineral matter,
especially of lime, and the use of corr
leads to degeneracy. Only by a varied
diet can the vigor be maintained. Inju-
dicious feeding leads to disease and loss.
Usually very little grain will be needed
for the calves, especially il they are pro-
vided with good comfortable shelter.
Good clover hay or millet, with a small
quantity of bran. at each meal viii main
tain a good growth at small cost. A lit
tie corn and oil-meal can be given as a
change, as it is not a good plan to attempt
to winter stock of any kind upon one kind
of feed
Bulls are dangerous animals, and q ma
jority of the injuries received occur from
placing too much confidence in gentle
bulls, which suddenly and Unexpectedly
attack the attendant. A bull will usually
prove obedieut when young, but it is sell
dom that fully matured bull is safe. No
bull should be kept on a farm that has not
been hinged" in the nose. and it should
be made to work if training is poss IDLE.
Rye straw is preferred for bedding for
horses, as it is long and easily spread
over the stalls. but in preparing the bed
some consideration must be given the
handling of the manure aud absorbents,
for which reason the material will give
better results, so far as labor is concerned,
il cut up for bedding. Wheat straw is
equally as good. The finer and shorter
the bedding material the better it will
absorb the liquids. As soon as the leaves
begin to drop they should be raked up and
hauled to the stable for bedding.
1t is not a matter of wonder that q
horse that is kept in an ill-ventilated and
imperfectly cared for stable gets sick, but
it is a matter of wonder that he does not
die. There is not universal agreement
as to the best kind of a door to put into q
stable. But whatever the floor is. the
stable should be kept clean. Stalls should
not only be cleaned every day. but they
should be arranged so as to admit the
sunshine. Nothing is so purifying as the
rays of the sun, and if the stalls eau be so
arranged as to admit these rays especial
ly in the morning. a cheap disinfectant
and a cheap preventive of disease will be
secured.-Exchange.
