Very serious alarm Is spreading over
Europe in consequence Of the outbreak
Of Asiatic cholera at Baku, on the
shores Of the Caspian Sea, for on for
mer invasions Of the continent the
dread disease has invariably obtained
admission by way of Baku. A quar-.
antlne Of the most stringent nature
has been maintained there by the
Russian Government for several
months past. But apparently the
precaution has been of no avail. The
danger of the spread of the malady
can be estimated when it Is borne in
mind that at least twO-thirds Of the
petroleum used in Europe is shipped
from Baku.

Cholera has appeared in Japan.

In spite Of the attempts at the be
ginning of the session at Springfield
to cast distractions in the way OF the
free action OF the Worlds fair direc
tory at Chicago. the legislature has
got down to smooth work and all tn,
legislation REQUIRED for the fair will
probably be tremendously disposed OF
this week. The constitutional amend
ment To enable Chicago to borrow
100000 has already passed both
houses, as also has the necessary en-
actment in reference to lands and
parks. A resolution was adopted by d
large majority declaring, in substance
that the question of one or two sites
for the fair was one with which the
legislature had no business to NEEDLE
The understanding that the proposed
Japanese and Chinese villages are tC
90 to Jackson park, and that the ten
acres California wants, and other
large areas demanded by other states
will be assigned in the same locality
apparently satisfied the cattlemen
that their ''steers" would be in good
company.

The threat OF Gov. Gordon, OF Geor'
gia, that il the Force, bin is passed, the
south will boycott II be north, no doubt
was silly enough. Whatever prosper

terprise and capital, and by driving
these out the south would only be cut

kind OF boycotting the south can and

sisted in, after quarter century Of

Senator Frye. of Maine, is hardly
polite, in commencing his reply to
Secretary Blaine's recent letter. with
"YOur letter leaves me in some doubt
about the facts Doubtless many
people will regard it as sly reminder
to Mr.. Blaine that such was quite a
conspicuous feature of his missives in
the days when he found it necessary
to request his correspondent to burn
this letter." but in the present case
Mr.. Frye can hardly be excused for

Hon. Alex Vaughey, of Seneca, was
in the city yesterday. We presume it
is no secret that Mr.. V. is being
brought forward by the Democrats at

State Senator. His record, a few
years ago, as a member of the house at
Springfield from this county for two
terms was very creditable one in

we have no doubt he would look after
the interests of our people with equal
address and ability

The visit of Hon. Lew Steward,
with members Of his household at
Ottawa on Tuesday was purely fam
lily affair among relatives, and had No
political purpose or significance. That
the visit happened to be with the fam.
lily of Judge Weeks. who invited few
well-known Ottawa Democrats to
meet him, accounts for the burst OF
blackguardism it evoked from Roses
Nose, the publisher of which. building
on the reputation of Mr.. Steward as a
man of wealth, had naturally been
maturing plans to make pretty round
levy on him of blackmail, but seeing
the company he was in, realized the
hopeessneSs of any such scheme. No,
Lew Steward is thousands of miles
beyond reach in that direction by any
one degraded enough to mediate such
an assault on his purse, and pre-emi-
nently so by creature like the Nose
man, any praise from whom would
only be vile abuse. Brought to his
knees by Judge Weeks and heavily
mulcted for an infamous libel, and
innately infamous in character, ANY
one whom he should beslObber with
his praise would necessarily partake of
his infamy, as no man can touch
pitch and not be detiled. In the case
of such creatures, Mr.. Steward could
afford to buy only their abuse.

from the recent Minnesota and Ne

has brought out another letter from
him to Senator Fry, further elucidat-

The manner in which he is coming to

excessively disagreeable to the Reed

gusted than ever that he has aban-

The petition for a writ of habeas
corpus In the case of The People V.
Richard w. Weldon was denied by
Judge blanchard Friday. morning.
Several Of Weldon's friends worked

pected to get their man outside the
clutches OF the law. The prisoner,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Reed,
Sheriff Hunter. OF Kankakee, and
Detective Norris, left Ottawa Satur-

kankakee. Weldon will be given into
the custody OF the sheriff at that
place. Ii was reported Friday that

and, further, that Weldon had nothing
to do with the Narcotic swindle.
Joseph Roberts, Of La Sale, was
brought before Judge Snyder Tues.
day TO answer a charge Of assalting
Mlchael Harmon, of Peru. He plead
guilty and was fined S25 and costs.
The trouble grew out of a drunken
brawl, in Peru on the evening of July

Harmon with small penknife. Rob

Jail since the ARRAY occurred. His
mother paid the fine, out of the earn

Senator Brown,

Another intellectual giant who
is not here this session is Joe
Brown, of Georgia. Brown looks
like a country parson who has been
retired after long service in the
church and has turned book gent.
He has a long patriarchal beard, a
eeuo~ish, bald head, from llrv
sides of which long iron-gray curls
fall down and wrap themselves
around his ears. His black broad
cloth clothes, made of double thick
ness for wfrmth, hung on his big,
thin, angular frame as though they
came from a second hand clothier,
and his rec undershirt forms a
bracelet around his thin wrist as he
solemnly gestures in straight up
and down lines. His forehead is
high and full. His big, sunken
eyes are hidden by gold specs
taclcs and the upper lip above
his large mouth is closely shaven.
As he speaks the long beard on
his chin moves up and down like
that Of a billy goat when he is
chewing his cud, and you think of
patent strs W-cutter with & heavy
tail of hair fastened to the lower
end. The words come out by ma
chinery and they are carved into
vocal blocks with the slowness and
the articulation of funeral ora,
ton. There are ideas behind the
words, however, and Brown is one
of the great speakers Of congress,
He IS the richest man in the south,
and, starring with a capital of a
bull and bell, he has made him,
selfa millionaire and a statesman.

a few days ago a representative

prominent citizen of neighboring

look in the Second. While the
citizen was warm, admirer of

idea that that gentleman had gone
to congress long enough ard that
he should now gracefully retire and
let some other good man be elected.
Continuing the gentleman said:
"Coi. c. B. Wooten, of Calhoun, is

man, aid there would be no mis-
take made in sending him to con.
gress. In the various positions Of
honor he has held he has always
done good work for the public, and

BUILDING BOOM.
Many New Houses Will BE Built
This Summer

That Dawson is enjoying solid,
substantial growth is evidenced by
the great number of buildings
which are now being built and
which are being projected to be
erected this year.
All of these structures are neat
residences and handsome store
houses, the cost of which ranges
from one thousand dollars to five
thousand dollars.
Last year great many new
houses were erected in Dawson, the
aggregate cost of which was proba.
ably more than one hundred thous,
and dollars.
But the demArd for houses dur
ing the first three mouths Of This
year has been greater than at any
time heretofore. 1t is safe to pres
dict that the number of houses
built this year will double the num-
Der that went up last year in this
city.
One Of the most encouraging
signs of our prosperity is the fact
that these houses are not being
built by our older citizens. Many
of them are being built by our
young business men. They are
judiciously investing the profits
of their businesses in real estate,
and improving it by the erection
dwellings AMI storehouses upon
the property they have acquired.
No other investment offers
larger return for the capital invest,
ed than these small residences, and
some olour men of means have
readily perceived it
At present the building boom is
50 great that the contractors are
unable to keep up with the jobs
which have been offered them.

"BOrn to Be HaDDy,"

So sid Socrates; so have reiter-
aled many other philosophers in
regard to humanity. AS health is
the 7ital principle of bliss, it is not
only an imperative duty, but a
welcome privilege for every man
and woman to maintain it in the
highest degree. One of the most
insidious and dangerous omissions
IN this connection is to neglect a
tendency to constitution. The
clogging up of the systcmwith efIete
matter predisposes to disease, de-
presses the spirits, and creates des
spondency and gloom. The occae
sional use Of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets will prevent a constipated
habit, clesr the brain, sweeten the

breath also), and open vista o
