A Good Farmer,

Some, at least. of La Sale county
farmers. who have of late years 90 ne
out into the Ear West" are maintain
ing the reputation of this county for
producing good farmers, as we see by
the Peabody, Kan, Graphic, which has
the following to say of an old La Sale
county man, who went out with j. |.
Warner: "Mr Adam Fawley, of But
Ter county, brought an ear of corn to
this office, Monday that measured 81
inches in circumference and contains
thirty rows of grains. He also brought
some very fine specimens of apples
from his orchard from trees that he
put out three years ago. Mr.. Fawley
settled on his farm four years ago, and
now he has an abundance of the best
varieties of fruit of all kinds-apples,
peaches, apricOts, pears, plums, grapes,
strawberries and raspberries. He is a
good farmer, and he is on the highway
to peace, plenty and prosperity"

The Asylum Residence.

The work on the warden and ma
irons residence at the county asy-
lum is progressing, and Mr.. JOS. Burk-
hart, of the committee, was up from
Peru Wednesday to see how 1T was
getting along, the contract calling Tor
its completion by Dec. 9th.
After the house is completed, the
Asylum itself will have to be remod.
eled and the matrOn's quarters fitted
up for an insane aSylum,-whlch work
will take several weeks longer.
In the meantime, the insane keep
coming back from the state aSylumS.
Warden Reedy brought back one more
case on Tuesday from kankakee, and
there are still several more there over
and above La Sale c0unty'S quota,
who are likely to be sent home any
day.
The nearer the new residence APP
prOaches completion, the more clearly
appears the mistake of the County
Board in building such an addition TO
the county's buildings there, instead
of building an addition to the insane
ward itself, which would have cost
little. if anything, over the cost or
the new building when supplied with
heating apparatus, water, gas and
sewers. Had an addition to the asy-
ium proper been made, the space that
could have been devoted to the hOuS-
ing of insane would have been very
much greater than it can possibly be
under the existing circumstances, as
the only actual room available for
housing the increase of insane pa
tientS, for whose accommodation the
change is made, can be only the room
now occupied by the warden and ma
iron, which is actually quite small:
and cannot accommodate to exceed %
patients when the building is remOd-
eled. Even of this space certain
part must be retained for the use of
the watch who, when the matrOn
shall have been removed to the new
building, must be kept in the main
building at all times. How soon that
little space gained will be entirely
filled and more room demanded, one
can not undertake to say, but it is a
safe prediction that it will not be a
very long time.
The county clerk has sent out the
circular letter to the various county
boards of the state, as proposed by
Supervisor w. M. Read. of Farm
Ridge, inviting the boards to pass res
Olutions praying the General Assem-
bly, of the state at its next session to
enlarge the state aSylums so as to pro-
vide in them for the care of incurable
insane now being returned to the
counties, where no adequate provis-
ion has been made for their care. This
is all right; but it sgoing to take time,
even if the state does in the end
make the necessary enlargement of its
asylums; and during the interval the
county will have to take care of its
own. In order to make room for the
increase of incurables this county
board builds dwelling house instead
of an insane asylum as should have
been done. The wisdom of this invest
ment will appear later-if ever.

Truth Will Tell.

Ottawa has long been noted for first
class business firms. But a circum-
stance which occurred this week. re-
fleets more than ordinary credit upon
the dry goods house of j. E. Scott &
Co. This item was obtained without
the knowledge of the firm in question,
and the FREE TRADER gives it mere
ly to place credit where credit is due.
A lady living sixty miles northwest
of here, came to Ottawa the fore part
of the week to make her fall purchas-
es Of dry goods, and knowing well the
reputation of the house, went to J. f..
Scott & Co.'S, and made her purchases
with the confidence of one who had
dealt with them for years, and went
home with the avOwed intention of
again returning when necessity called
for another large bill of goods. The
lady in question was Miss Florence
Lancaster, of Walnut, Bureau Co.,
ILL.,, niece of Mr.. VIM. Lancaster, in
the employ of Stewart & Colwell. OF
tawa contractors. The circumstance
is given to show that Ottawa ''leads"
in the dry goods business in this part
of Illinois, as well as other depart
ments of enterprise.

WATERICES GROWING IN FAVOB.

From The washington FUSI'
Tho taste of Washington people has undergone
quite change during the last few years In the matter
az he use of ices and ice-cream" said Mr. McDemoret
To POST reporter. There IS now twice as much
people using it almost altogether in the place Of ice
cream"
What has brought about the change"
imagine II Is the result of European travel. In
Europe Il is very rare that ice cream IS used and
Americans going abroad become used to tho habit
thcre and bring il home with them. Water ices
generally looked upon healthy than ice-cmam
and no doubt IL Is more cooling for the warm weather.
" Has the taste Of patrons changed IN regard 10 the
havOrs they call 1Or?'
Peach has taken the place the most popular
flavor for the summer, great deal mOra of Il being
used than ever before. Vanilla and other creams aro
also In demand. The popular taste changes VERY much
during the winter from what IL In the summer.
When the weather IS warm the great bulk Of cream
