There is little use and still less satisfac-
ton In bandying words with liar. But
In reply to the Journals article on Board
proceedings the FREE TRADER has only
this to say; 1t has charged the county
from term to term price In proportion to
the work done. That that price has been
low is amply testified by the fact that
when the county clerk last week called for
bids, only Rose and the Earlville Leader
(both of whom have been having the bel
ly-ache for years whenever they even
thought of county work., were found to
put In bid alongside Of the FREE TRADER.
Though the FREE TRADER bid more per
column than II received for the March ses-
sion proceedings, and bid substantially the
same price for printing the supplements 1t
had charged heretofore for sheet of the
same size, Its bid was $2.67 lower on the
job than the Earlville mans bid, and from
81 to So under the Journal; but as the
FREE TRADERS bid was by the column
and 1000 sheets, II has been euchered out
of the job, Notwithstanding II was the low
est bidder, simply because the clerk

no difference who furnished it. He cou,d
not vote for the incandescent light. Three
arcs would give more light than fifteen OF
the incandescents.
Mr. Alshu!er spoke again, insisting on his
motion.
Mr.. Maher attempted to choke him of BY
a motion to adjourn, which was lost
Mr. Alshuler's motion was then adopted.
MIR. Williamson then made fierce at
tack on all committees having charge of
public work, past and present. He did it in
support of resolution requiring all city
work, exceeding fifty dollars in cost, to be
let by contract to the lowest bidder. He
stigmatized the committeeman as robbers
and thieves. Hs howled about the down.
trodden taxpayers. He accused them of
putting the public money where it would do
the most good on election day. In fact what

have filed half line.
The gentlemen of the council grew very
warm under their collars, but remained 81
lent. They laid for Mr.. Williamson and
even voted down Mr.. Maher's motion to
adjourn in order to slam Mr.. Williamson's
resolution in the waste basket. This they
did in an elegant, yet forcible way and then
adjourned.
After the adjournment one of the mem
bers said that Mr.. Williamson was very
fresh for new member, but that if he had
presented an ordinance, instead of resolu-
ton, it would have been adopted. The res
olution was manifestly out Of order, as the
ordinance regulating contracts must to sup

resolution could have no effect.

The La Sale Dem Pres calls attention
to the fact that the only soldiers who have
filled government offices In this county
located south of Illinois river, have been
democrats, appointees of Cleveland's ad-
ministratlon. This may be inaccurate
but 1t is sufficiently near the truth to EN-.
phasize the fact that Capt. Hill, an old
soldier himself, is not pushing as many
into Office as he has thus far had the op-
dortunity of putting into places in this
county. Certainly the proportion of SOL
diers appointed was greater in Cleveland s
time than now.-hereabouts.

Flint Glass Works.

The stockholders Of the Ottawa Bottle and
and Flint Glass Co., held their annual meet
ing on Tuesday, at Griggs s. Aliens Office,
re.eleoting all the old directors excepting
Judge Gilbert, who is succeeded by Andrew
Hamilton. The meeting adopted resolu.
ton that the method of melting the glass be
changed from coal to the petroleum system,
and that the capacity of the works be en-
larged. The introduction of this aerated oil
will cheaper the cost of the melt at least one
half, as great amount Of coal is consumed
at loss, which is not the case with the oil,
the oil reducing the sand and chemicals to
glass in one half the time reqsired by coal
with no teasing, thus further saving of
nine of the teasers employed. The report of
the superintendent showed an increase OF
business, making the past year better one
than any since the works were started.
With the cheapened crude glass and the
rspidity of the reduction of the melt, the
management claims that the productive
capacity of the works will be nearly if not
wholly doubled, and that they can then
manufacture glass as cheaply as any COM
pany in the United States.

The tariff should be removed from ever,

The tariff should be removed from every

any effect on prices, except to slower them

Chapman Sues for Damages.


Herman B. Chapman, the express driver
of ten years ago, at La Sale, has sued the
United States Express Go. for $5O,OO0.OO
damages in the Circuit Court of Cook County
for false Imprisonment.
When Chapman was serving out his sen.
tence for perjury in the state prsion, at
Joliet, the Expross Company brought suit
in trover and attachment in aid, against him,
recovering q judgement for Sl4,00OOO and
costs; and when he was release from confine-
ment in 1884 caused him to be arrested and
confined in the Cook County Jail. Applica-
tions for writs of habeas corpus were of no
avail, the courts holding the capias ad satis
faciendum to be valid. By strenuous
efforts he secured the passage, oy the legis-
lature, Of statute providing that persons
held on caplas sd satisfaciendum should
not be held longer than six months after
turning over all their property not exempt
to the creditor, and he was Immediately re-
leased. Chapman had taken an appeal from
the Sl4,00000 judgment from the United
States Circuit Court to the United States
Supreme Court, and on last Friday the court
set aside the verdict, reserving a motion to
dismiss the case for further argument. This
decision was based upon Chapman's not be-
ing present in court when the case was tried,
and he therefore sues the company for false
Imprisonment.

Drank Horse Liniment,

Rheinhsrdt Brandenburer, prominent
and wealthy farmer living two miles north
of Leland, committed suicide on Sunday
morning by drinking a pint or more of horse
liniment, composed of laudanum, arsenic
and other poisonous ingredients. He had
arisen at the usual hour, and after breakfast
ordered the hired man to hitch up the team
to take the family to church. This was
about eight o clock, and while the man was
doing the work Brandenburer went out, lay
down under tree and swallowed the horri-
BILE dose of lnlment. When the hired man
came up with the team he found his en-
ployer lying under the tree in state of
coma with the bottle still firmly grasped in
his right hand. He at once drove into Le-
land for physician but although the stom-
ach pump and emetics were used he could
not be aroused to conciousness, having taken
to heavy dose. While unconcous his body
twisted and showed every evidence of spasms
until nine o clock p. NJ. when he died. He
was born in Leland about forty-fve years
ago and leaves q wife and five children. No
motive, other than domestic infeicity, is
ascribed for the act.

Proeress Of Inventions Since 1645.

In the year 1845 the present owner
uf the Scientific American newspaper
commenced its publication, and soon
after established bureau for the
procuring of patents for inventions at
home and in foreign countries. Dur
ing the year lS45 there were only 5O2
Do ents issued from the U. S. Patent
Office, and the total issue from the
establishment of the Patent Office, up
to the end OF that year, numbered
only 4,347.
UP to the first OF July this year
there have been granted 4O6,4l3.
Showing that since the commence
ment of the publication of the Scien-
iite American there have been issued
from the U. s. Patent Office 4O2, 166
patents, and about one-third more APP
plications have been made than have
been granted, showing the ingenuity OF
our people to be phenomenal, and much
greater than even the enormous num-
Ter of patents issued indicates. PrOba-
bly, q good many OF orr readers have
had business transac Fl through the
Offices of the Scientific American, in
New York or Washington, and are
familiar with Mum & Co.'s mode of
doing business, but those who have
not will be interested in knowing some
thing about this, the oldest patent
soliciting firm in this country, prOba-
bly, in the world.
Persons visiting their offices, 361
Broadway, N. Y, for the first time,
will be surprised, on entering the main
Office, to find such an extensive and
elegant equipped establishment, with
its walnut counters, desks, and chairs
to correspond, and its enormous safes,
and such large number of draughts
men, specification writers, and clerks,
all busy as bees, reminding one OF q
large banking or insurance Office,
with it's hundred employees.
In conversation with one OF the
firm, who had commenced the bust
ness of soliciting patents in connec
ton with the publication OF the Scien-
tifc American, more than forty years
ago, / learned that his firm had made
application for patents for upward Of
one hundred thousand inventors in
the United States, and several thou
sands in different foreign countries,
and had filed as many cases in the
Patent Office in single month as
there were patents issued during the
entire first year of their business
career. This gentleman had seen the
Patent Office grow from a sapling to a
sturdy oak, and he modestly limited
that many thought the Scientific
american. with its large circulation,
had performed no mean share in
stimulating inventions and advancing
the interests of the Patent Office.
But it is not alone the patent solicit
ing that occupies the attention OF the
one hundred persons employed by
Mum & Co., but large number are
engaged ON the four publications is
sued weekly and monthly from their
office, 36l Broadway. N. Y, viz: The
Scientific american, the Scientific
american Supplement, the Export
Edition of the Scientific american
and the architects and Builders Edi-
ton Of the Scientific american. The
first two publications are issued every
week. and the latter two, the first Of
every month.
