Galesburg, Ill Dec. 2S, 1888.

RANSOM, Dec. This regiment was
organized at Ottawa, In August 1862, and
was composed almost entirely of La Sale
county men. The first enlistment was
August 9TH to August 2Sth, 1862. While
recruiting the boys found boarding and
lodging Ia some of the first hotels of Otta
wa of that day,-namely the Mansion
House, Geiger House and Days Hotel, and
some companies found lodging in Stone
and Eells hall.
The Colonsl aud Lieutenant Colonel
were elected by ballot of those then enlist
ed. The candidates for Colonel were, A. B.
NJ oore and Hon o. G. Gray. A. B. Moore

following officers, Major j. ii. Widmer;
Adjutant, X. G. Stevens; Quartermaster

pointed by the Colonel. q. ID. Whitman,

For the Free Trader,
Whose Medicine are the Farmers Taking :?
The country's interest is the peoples in
terest; and of whatever mistakes the gov
eminent makes, the people must suffer the
consequences. Bad laws and corrupt leg
islation is medicine which the people must
take whe,hedit acts as tonic or physic.
A large portion of our law makers owe
their elevation to office through the lavish
use of money; and their course from OBJ
security to eminence is but path Of cor
ruption aud bribery. How can such men,
standing upon such principles, deal hon
estly with the great questions of the day,
which their constituents place In their
hands? There are the political doctors
who compound the political questions in
the interest of money and capital, or In the
interest of anything and everything that
that will keep them In power and in office
| will admit, however, that there are many
prominent men in office who are men of
principle and integrity, but they are like
our prohibition neighbors: so few in num-
bers that their influence and strength is
lost in the great rush and struggle for per-
sonal gain and selfish ends.
But the most deplOrable feature In the
politics of today Is that the farmers and
producers of this great nation are made
the blind tools of unprincipled politicians.
| know but little of city life, but this do
know, that the farmers of this country are
the most honest and industrious class Of
people, as class, upon the face of the
earth; and while | believe this to be a
fac, also know thauthere is not class up
on the face OF the earth that can be so
easily taken in, humbugged and fooled as
the American farmers.
The recent election has fully demonstra-
ted this fact, that majority of our farm
ers were either ignorant as to what they
were voting for, or cared nothing for their
own business and individual success.

DRESSING FOR SALADs.-Two raw
eggs, one tablespoonful of butter,
eight spooufuls of vinegar, one-half tea
spoonful of mustard. Put in a bowl over
boiling water, and stir until it becomes
like cream; salt and pepper to taste.
APPLE CHARLoTTE.-Two pounds
of apples pared and cored; slice them
into pan, add one pound of sugar, the
juice of three lemons and the rind of
one grated; boil all together until it be-
comes thick, which it will do in about
two hours; turn it into mold; serve
cold, with either rich custard or cream.
CHOCOLATE CARAMELs.- Cream well
together a quarter of pound of good
grated chocolate, unsweetened, half a
tea cupful of butter, one tea-cupful of
sugar, the same of molasses and of
milk or cream. Boil all together until
the candy cracks in water, then pour
half an inch thick into tin pans well
oiled When nearly cold mark into
squares with a buttered knife. The
flavor of part of this may be altered by
adding extract of vanilla stirred in just
as it is about to be poured out.
LEMON CUP CUsTARDs. These Gus.
tards are made without milk, but are
delicious. Beat the yolks of four eggs
till they are as white as cream-this
takes good deal of beating-grate the
peel and squeeze the juice of lemon
add three tablespoonful of sugar, and
add them to a balf-pint of boiling
water, then mix gradually to the eggs.
Set this on the fire to thicken, but do
not let it boil, and stir it one way all the
time. When very thick stir till cool ;
then pour into cups, making them
about three-fourths full, and fill up with
whipped cream, piling it up.

Health aud Beauty.

Few theories are carried to a more
unwarrantable extreme than that of the
importance of physical exercise and
muscular development. Because eXer.
else improves health and muscle is
fine thing to own, half-educated re-
formers preach exercise and muscle as
if there could not he enough of them.
Any plain poken physician will say at
once that there can be too much eXer-
else and that unwise forms of exercise
can be injurious. lie will also say that
there is very slight essential connection
between muscle and that supreme
physical quality-vitality Many man
has developed muscle at the expense
of vitality, and many nervous tenn
permanent has impaired health by drag
ging itself through exercise when it
needed rest. Muscle is all right in its
proper place, but ahead of ii come
heart, lungs, brain and stomach. Gull
tivating muscle does more for beauty
probably than for health, and since
beauty is really one of the proper OBJ
jects of effort. the forms of exercise
which bestow most symmetry of out
line and grace of movement are TO be
studied. One of the women writer's
who deal out instruction to the sex has
recently advocated running. She is
nearer the right track than most of the
didactic writers of her kind. Run
ming is the great beautifer of figure
and movement. Running gives mus
cular development, strong heart ac-
ton and free lung play. The muscle
comes where it ought to be, the
shoulders go back, the loins hold the
trunk well balanced and the feet take
their correct positions. 1t was running
that made the Greek figure. The more
active tribes of American Indians have
been runners from time immemorial,
and from the chest to the heels they
are much more beautifully built than
the average of white men. Running
people have usually the firm but elias
tic texture of flesh which is the beauty
of flesh. We know infinitely more
about taking care of the human body
than Greeks or Indians, and if we would
train our children to regular and wisely
supervised running exercise, supple
mented with other exercises for the
hands, arms and shoulders, we could
surpass them in beauty and activity. A
general adoption of such a system
seems very far from likely, since we
have none of the appropriate grounds
or apparatus. The next best thing is
walking, but most of us walk on our
heels and lift up the feet, instead
of springing forward with them
and driving the body on with the
back muscles of the legs. Fashion
able people will pay high prices for
grooms and and riding-masters to 90
out and teach correct horseback move
ments, but who ever saw a man, woman
or child with an instructor in walking?
Yet horseback riding is trihe beside
good walking in its effect either on
health or on those qualities of figure
and carriage which the whole world
holds in high estimation. Gymnasium
exercise is so easily overdone, and may
be so injurious in some cases, thas it is
doubtful whether anybody should 90 in
for the gymnasium strongly without
the superintendence of a skilled physi.
clan in at least the early stages-Kan.
