ILLINOIS FARM MORTGAGES.

An advertisement published by the Northwestern Bond and Trust Company of Chicago, with offices at Nos. 175-179 Dearborn street, appears to have entirely escaped the attention of the professional calamity editors, who are continually be- wailing the manner in which the farmers of Illinois are being eaten up by mort gages. This company is conducting the business of loaning money on mortgages on Illinois farms, and it's operations are under the supervision of the auditor of public accounts. In the advertisement referred to the company asks the ques- tion: "Do Illinois farmers pay interest promptly ?" And then it answers this ln- teresting inquiry with the following state- ment, taken from It's books:
 During the year ending Jan 31,
 1890, interest matured on our
 loans to the amount tof..............$ 170,570 All of which is paid except. sos
 This is not calculated to afford any com fort to the calamity editors nor to corrob- crate their wild statements on this sub- ject, but the advertisement proceeds to propound another question, and the fig ures given in answer are calculated to drive very calamity editor to drink and despair. Ia answer to the question, "Do Illinois farmers ever pay off their mortgages ?" the c .mpany makes the following statement: During the year loans matured to the amount of......................$ 346, $50 We offered to renew all this, but there was paid off and the mort gages released. ed........................ 168, ,450 lu other words, nearly one-haf of the mortgage loans held by this company winch came due during the year were paid
 if because the farmers had the money to meet them with, although they could have been renewed. It will be an exceedingly difficult undertaking for the calamity ed itors to make this showing of facts fit into their assertions and theories, but the final statement made by this company gives them shock which, it may confidently be predicted, will render them speechless. [u fact, it will "paralyze" them. In con- nection with the statement that the com- pany controls an investment of $2, ,566 900 m farm loans in Illinois, the advertisement declares, with cruel disregard of the feel ings of the calamity editors, that "none of our mortgages have been foreclosed during the last ten years.

A ReGulislr CaAe.

Dr. H c. Edmunds, of Elberton, Ga., writes "A very peculiar and strange case of blood poison came under my attention 8 short time ago. A gentleman came here from Athens, Ga., where he had been bitten on the hand by vicious mule that he was breaking to work. The hand was in horrible condi- tion, and the inflammation was rapidly ex- tending throughout his entire system. Every knuckle on his hand was an ulcer that was deep and sloughing. He stat to me that he had consulted several physicians, and taken their medicines without deriving any benefit. gave him course of Swift's Specific (S 5. &. and in few days he reported to me a marked improvement, and in one week from the time he commenced taking s. s. s. the hand was healed up and the poison entirely ion that he would have lost his life mad it no. been for the health giving properties contain. ed in Swif.'s Specific.

DR. LEWIS A. sAYRE's SAYINGS.

Here are some of them from the New York Herald
 Whisky cannot be considered injurious under all circumstances There are times when it is useful, like castor oil, calomel and quinine, but it is not beneficial as beverage"
 Consumption can be cured. The way to cure it is to put the patient in the mountains, where the air is dry, and keep him away from the doctor and the apothe- cary shop"
 many kinds of disease'
 "Insanity, should say, is increasing, and the explanation is to be found in the way in which we live. Men rush to se- cnre millions when they ought to be satis- fled with hundreds of thousands. They likewise rush to spend their money and then worry to meet their financial engage ments."
 eff a person keeps his mouth shut he will not snore. If he cannot keep it shut in any other way he ought to tie a band- age under his chin and over his head" "A giggler is fool" ......
 'Some people are so solemn they have not life enough to die, aud keep on earth to curse everybody they are acquainted with"
 Disappointment in love is injurious, as great grief is always harmful"
 About living to be 100 years old the doctor says this:
 Everybody, under ordinary cifcum- stances, ought to live to be 100 years old. As it is, people live from eight to fifteen years longer than their forefathers did. They have learned how to eat and drink, how to keep their homes ventilated and their sewers drained, and how to generally take better care of themselves. Still they ought to. They have too much to do, too much to think about, and too much care to bear. Many are very much distressed as younger men to know how they are go- ing to make sure of living. By and by, when their reputation is grown, they are driven to death with the work forced upon them ''

CATCHING A THIEF.

"I'm @ slick 'un," were the words tele- graph, operator Taylor heard the other night, addressed to him as he was busily working at his post in Meriden, Kansas. He paid no attention to the remark until he had completed the message, which read as follows:
 ''To the Sheriff, Meriden, Ks.-Hicks X Jephart's bank robbed this evening of $3, ,OOO. Robber unknown; description as follows: Blond, light hair and moustache, blue eyes, five feet II tall, medium weight.
 (Signed) SHERIFF."
 The operator looked up, and nearly lost his breath when he saw standing before him the man described in the dispatch. He did not reveal the fact of the reco9ni- tion, but merely agreed with the stranger. The stranger inquired the time of the next train for Atchison, and asked where he could put up for the night. The operator directed him to a hotel, where the "slick 'un" took room without registering, re- questing that he be called at 5 o'clock in the morning, in time for the Atchison train. Local police officers Smith and Summerfield were informed by the opera tor of the presence of the stranger at the hotel. Arming themselves with Win chester rifles, they went 10 the hotel, wait ed under the ''slick un's" window until 12 o'clock, and then, going to the office, &C., quainted the proprietor with their inten- ton to arrest his guest. A bell-boy was sent to the strangers room with message that it was time to get up to catch the Atchison train. When the man descended to the office he was confronted by the po- licemen with rifles pointed at his breast. He never quivered, but looked inquiringly around. ''Throw up your hands," Officer Smith said. The stranger seemed to re- alize his situation then, but instead of obeying he thrust hand in either side pocket of his overcoat to draw his revolv- CTS. Both Winchesters were discharged instantly at his breast. The stranger fell dead, with one bullet through his heart and another through the right lung. The coroner was notified, and before noon the verdict was returned exonerating the off, cers of any criminality, self,defense being their excuse A search of the outlaws body was made, and the stolen money re- covered Ia his boots were found two packages of greenbacks of $500 each. The balance of the money had been distributed among his various pockets. The outlaw was positively identified from registered receipt dated at Burlington, Ks, as one Robertson. The money receipted for had been payable to one R. O. Smith, at Ot' tawa Ks. sass..

FISHING FOR SUCKERS.

sHAwAUr.
On a fishing excursion, our good BOARD Of
Sailed forth one fine morning with gallant
parade,
With their six-iointed fish poles and twisted
silk lines,
And their patented dip-nets, rugged "up to the
nines;"
With their jugs and fat hampers well loaded and
trim,
Full accoutred for landing whale, minnow or
brim
All in holiday rig and well furnished with bait,
Marched the fishers forth gaily with spirits
While glad smiles fitted brightly across each
red face
AS they thought of the fat worms that day they
would place,
All in tempting profusion before the wild eyes
OF the gold fish or mud Cats, whichever might
rise.
In the pool they cast freely each well prepared
Tickling gently the bloated gilt fish they'd Sc
All in vain ev'ry effort the anglers might make,
Now and then one would wander bit in his
mind,
And while daintily nibbling, astonished would
Meath the taffy on which he did hungrily look,
The keen points of fsherman's Limerick
hook.
When at last they had nibbled the bait AL
away
They declared they had had an enjoyable day;
With shake of their fins, wished the anglers
good night"
And next morning departed for new waters
bright.
When the sportsmen returned they were ready
to fight
Disappointed because their fine fish wouldn't
They had spent as much money for tackle and
bait
As the ablest of fishermen in the whole state.
Then they called upon one who had landed big
fish,
With "Your methods, kind sir, we most earn
estly wish.'
He thus answered them terseIy, ''This rule
don't despise:
When for whales you would bob, don't use
grub-worms or hies!'''

Grain for stock.

There are people living to-day who
can well remember when it was regarded
as a waste if not sin to feed much grain
of any kind to stock. A few oats to
horses was allowed during spring work,
but that was about all. Anything fit for
human food was thought too good for
stock, but now it is foun profitable to
feed all kinds of gram, and even the
king of cereals, wheat, is found to be
profitable as q food for animals, when
given along with coarser food. The bet
ter the article is-the more nutrimsnt it
contains and the higher its condition
the more profit there is in properly feed
ing it. But it was once thought that the
growth of the animal was all that was
obtained from the food fed. A new light
has been dawning on this subject. The
richer the feed, not only the greater ami
NAL growth but the more valuable the
droppIugs, which return to the feeder
two-thirds or three quarters the value
of the food for manurial purposes. The
poorer the food and the poorer the ami
NAL the less value there is in the drop
pings, which cannot contain what is not
in the food and drink of the animal.

The Cattle Census.

The government has made arrange

the purpose of taking a census of the

livestock on farms and in cities, and it
is to be hoped that this census will be
more complete and satisfactory than any
ever taken before. The trouble here
tofore, and it looks rs If the same
trouble will have to be encountered
again, that people wholly unfit for the
business have been appointed for the
business. In order 10 a correct report
of tine livestock in the United States men
who have taken an interest in livestock
matters and who have some we'll de-
fined idea of where the bulk of cattle are
located should be appointed to his bus
mess; but as usual there have been ap-
pointed men who have never been par
ticularly identified with the cattle inter-

whether it is or not

are not as trashy as they were this time

''You are right there, but there are
worlds of them moving. 1 am of the
opinion that prices Will be held down as
much as possible this year, but do not
think it can be done next year. The
shortage of cattle will begin to be felt
next spring and it will have a telling
effect on prices. Those who have good
two-ysar-old steers now and will hold
them until next spring, will get splendid
prices for them in my opinion. know
