A BANQUET to Co ID.


Co. d. returned from the Braidwood cam
paign at a o'clock on Tuesday afternoon,
bearded and bronzed by their ten days ser
vice in camp and on guard mount at the
mines. They marched down La Sale stree,
headed by three regimental buglers, present.
ing grim and warlike front, for their shoes
had been strangers to the blaoking brush,
their garments secluded from the clothes
brush and their faces absent from the vicin'
ity Of the lather brush for longer period OF
time than is ordinarily prescribed in Upton
tactics, and Co. D. needed brushing up.
After divesting themselves of their guns,
cartridge boxes and knapsacks at the Armory
the boys were formed in marching order and
escorted by the heralds to the Clifton House.
Here Capt. Blanchard said that those who
wished to rinse off the dust OF travel might
do so, and for about five minutes the basins
in the lavatory were full of Co. d. The
big doors of the dining room were then
thrown open, and banqueting board was
spread out before their gaze. The boys did
ample justice to the feast and at its conolus-
ion Mr.. Cook made short address, Of welcome

DIED.-On Monday, the 4th inst, Mr.
John S. Noble, of Easton, Pa.
Mr.. Noble was q brother of Mrs. G.. II
force, of this city, and will be remembered
by many as the active partner of the firm Of
Kellogg, Noble & Co., at one time connected
with the building of the Fox River railroad
He came here early in 1888 to make short
visit, but was soon after taken very i'll. He
recovered from the severity Of the first at
tack, but never sufficiently to return to his
former home, whittier his remains have
now been taken for interment. His suffer
ings at times were very great, but they
were always borne with marked patience
and fortitude.

Rev. Holmes on Clerks.

Rev. d. J. Holmes, of the First Methodist
church delivered lecture on clerks and
salesladIes, in place Of q regular sermon, on
Sunday evening. Preparatory to the lecture
Mr.. Holmes prepared set Of blanks and
sent them to the successful business men Of
the city, asking that they fill them out and
return. The question on the banks were;
How old are your When did you become a
clerk? What was your salary the first year!
What was your salary the last year? How
long did it take you to save the first $500?
What do you consider the essential qualities
of good clerk?
Nearly every gentleman to whom these
blanks were addressed answered these ques-
tions in satisfactory manner, and the Pc
rusal must have been q revelation. The
shortest space of time consumed in saving
the first five hundred dollars was three
years, and the longest ten years, although
the first man did not earn as high salary
Is the latter. All agreed that the essential
qualifications for good clerk wore sobriety,
punctuslity and fair education, and the fill
ing of position to the best interests Of the
proprietor, whether working on small sal.
sry or large ono,
Rev. Holmes began his lecture with the
statement that the ambition Of every clerk
WAS to become proprietor, and that no one
but good clerk could reach that end. To be
q good clerk man must be good Chris
tian. The qualifications Of good clerk
were sobriety, integrity and uprightness,
and these were the qualities possessed by q
good Christian. The answers to the ques.
ton, Withholding the names Of the gentle
men, were read, and proved source Of en-
tertaiment and profit to the audience.

A gang of soapine men from theKendallCo.
struck town on Saturday with an ingenious
plan for evading the license ordinance They
cold their soapine to the grocers and then
purchased it again at retail, peddling it
from house to house. There wers four or
five in the gang, and they hired two horse
wagon to carry the stuff about the streets.
Everything was sailing along under favorable
skies, when the lynx eyed Brennan smeled
very strong odor Of dismantled cheese and
the gang was halted. After clustering and
praying they come to the scratch on Mon,
day and paid up, but they looked sad.

Pigs In clover, the popular puzzle, will
last till the leaves fall Stiefel has the pigs
in clover. He gives you the cane with a
good suit, first class suit or an elegant
suit. All get the cane whether the suit is
low priced or high priced one. Stiefel
does not advertise nor does he sell cheap
clothing. Cheap clothing is shoddy clothing
every time. He sells good cothmg cheap.
When he says cheap he means the same
quality Of goods at less price than it can be
bought for elsewhere. The spring suits for
men, boys and children are in, and the store,
cellar, garnet and sidewalk are filled with
the new invoice. The variety is bewildering,
the fits guaranteed and the quality of the
goods finer for the price than ever before.

A Deserved Success,

The more the II, j. Gillen summer sale is
Investigated the greater do the bargains ap

made in Ottawa has attracted more attention
or deserved more. All seasonable goods are
in complete assortment and at prices that
never have been equalled in the city for real
cheapness. Every line of goods is in stock,
dress goods in white and colors, all the
fashionable fabrics, all the new and desir-
able novelties, new summer wear in boots
and shoes, in fact the house is complete and
offering all goods at so great bargain that
no one can afford not to look the house over

He Ate Morphine.

Melvin Perry, . man Of sixty five years,
was found dead in his bed ct his rooms in
the front portion Of Ed. Chsrleton's house,
corner of Washington and Walnut Sts., ct
half Fast eight o'clock on Thursday evening
He had been missing from the sight Of the
neighborhood since Tuesday, but as he was
thought to be away from home, 40 particular
attention was taken Of his absence until
Charlton, who ID an engineer and occupies
the back portion Of the cottage, remarked 9
peculiar odor proceeding from Perry's quar-
tiers. He at first attributed it to q passing
fancy, but on Thursday evening decided to
investigate. He broke down the door Of
Perry's quarters and entered the bedroom,
where revolving sight met his eye. Lying
stretched out upon the bed was the old man,
blackened and bloated corpse-dead per-
haps forty or forty,eight hours. Near him
on the floor, was morphine package and
on stool lay two letters, one addressed to
Charlton and the other to the coroner, also
a five.cent piece which he willed, in a six
line will, to the Ottawa Journal. AL
most unnamed by the stencil emanating
from the decomposing remains, Charlton
staggered out of the room and notified the
police of the horrid find. Deputy Coroner
Weeks was soon on the scene with jury,
and after viewing the body, adjourned the
inquest until yesterday. The body was then
taken to Zimmerman undertaking estab
lishment, from whence it was buried at the
county's expense.
The coroner's jury met at nine o'clock
yesterday morning, when the letters were
opened and the testimony taken. The letter
to the corner explained that he could not get
work and preferred death to the poor house,
saying that the public might bury him. The
letter to Charlton substantially Tailed with
that to the ooroher. After hearing the evil
dence the coroner's jury returned verdict
of suicide by morphine poisoning. Perry
had been a well known character about
town for years, was once in the employ of
Rock Island road, but was considered some.
what demented of late years. Three years
ago he placed a revolver in his mouth and
attempted TO blow the top of his head off,
but only succeeded in embedding ball in
the roof of his mouth
