In 1856 some twenty head of cattle
got into Archibald McClean's farm in
Miller township. and destroyed the
fences and crops. Mr.. MCLEAN locked
the cattle in the stable and held them
as security for the damage done. Nels
and Samuel Anderson came along,
claimed the animals, and fUrcibly took
them from MCLEAN. They were each
fined $50 by Squire Weeks, but ap-
pealed. The case was tried in Sep
TENDER, 1888, and each were fined $50
by jury, in the county court. An
appeal was taken and the appellate
court reversed and remanded the case
for new trial. The case was re-
docketed as No. 36S, Wedesnday.

Again the binder-twine trust comes
to the fore. The whole business is in
the hands of two giant companies,
which have fixed the prices for 1890 at
lSic for pure MANILA, 16c for sisal and
&c for ssal crow. At these prices the
farmers of Iowa have already decided
to boycott the Irvine and bind with
straw or put up their grain loose, and
no doubt the farmers generally
throughout the west will follow in
their wake, as they certainly should.

The summary on Feb. list of the
crop reports to the Ill. State Board of
Agriculture for the past month gives
quite a glowing outlook for the winter
wheat crop, The acreage sown ex-
ceeds that of last year 10 per cent,
and in spite of the snowless winter,
the condition of the crop was never so
promising on Feb. LIST. Should the
conditions remain favorable until
harvest, the largest yield per acre is
predicted of any year in the wheat
growing history of the state.

THREE MEN KILLED
On the 80" Railroad Near Leland Last
Tuesday.

Last Tuesday three men, whose
names are unknown, were accident
ally killed on the main line Of ii CHI
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
near Leland, in this county.
AT an early hour on the morning in
question two freight trains collided
about seven miles from Earlville, and
a stock raiser from Iowa, whose name
could not be learned, was killed. A
large number Of cattle were butchered
in the wreck. The morning was dark
and cloudy and a heavy fog hung
over the earth. A freight train loaded
with hogs and cattle, going east and
bound from Iowa to Chicago, was tele-
scoped by another freight which came
up from behind. The first freight was
running slowly in order to avoid acct
dents, while the last freight came
along at the rate of forty miles an
hour The engineer said he was un-
able to see the first train until it was
too late to prevent the collision. Cat
tie and hogs cut in all shapes were
strewn along the track for distance
of several rods. The cattleman was
peared to be uninjured shortly after
lIlt dINltltlll otCulltt. All llphl
however. he died, and it is probable
that death was caused by internal in
jurieS. The loss amounted to $1,000
or $4,000 Many people went over from
Earlvlle, seven miles distant, to view
the wreck.
TWO NORwEGIANS KILLED.
Five NOrwegianS, whose names can
not be learned, were in Leland Tues
day and spent the day drinking bad
whisky. They left Leland about 10
o'clock that night and started along
the so track for their home, two
miles distant. They were all very
drunk. it is said, and sang snatches of
old Norwegian ditties as they went
along. When mile out from Leland
a train was seen approaching. Three
of the party got off the track and told
their companions to get off or they
would be killed. These two were not
afraid of a train, however, and the
engine struck them, death resulting
instantly. Deputy Coroner Nosburg
of Earlville, held an inquest and a
verdict was returned in accordance
with the above facts.

No human being is permit ted to enter magazine unless barefooted or with rubbers over his boots or shoes. Side tracks from the Morris County railroad run to each magazine, and every barrel of pow der is handled on rubber covered skids, CT trucks with wheels tired with soft rubber.

HOPE FOR THE FARMER.

HOPE FOR THE FARMER.
 Far.seeing people are predicting that if the unfortunate farmer can hold on lonR enough he will see better times. The Litchfeld En- quirer joins in this prediction: Passing over the conventional arguments that farmers live too extravagantly,. and that they cannot, un. der present circumstances, compete with western farm products brought to the east at merely nominal expense of transportation, the Enquirer argues that 1t is only question of time when the demand for the products of our New England farms will result in better prices. The line of reasoning Is that the increase of people in the cities, who must be fed, will create greater de- mand, and that the time is near when this demand will bs felt. Oontinuing, the En- quirer says: The mof @athere are to feed, and the fewer farmers there are to feed them, the higher will be the cost of corn, grain, and all food products. Then the farmer will have his chance at last of getting rich. This is no mere matter of speculation. During the war the consumption of sgricul- tural products was greatly increased. Nil- lions of producers were called into the field, large proportion from the farms. They all had to be fed by the farmers who remained at home. What was the consequencea Farm ing prospered more as business than it ever did before or has ever done since. There was ready sale at high prices for all farm products.
 May this happy time come quickly. The New England farmer needs change for the better very much.

THE SILVER CRAZE.

The action of the Senate in regard to sil- yer has had the effect of waking a great many people up to the real situation. It has not been believed that men of inte1li- gence enough to be senators of the United States would take such action. But they have, and there Is no certainty that the house will not follow the bad example. And the extremists even affect not to care if the President vetoes the bill which they ex- pect to pass, feeling able to pass it over the veto. 5saaxt5i.:As ..se
 In spite of the thTeatening appearance of things it is hardly probable that the pro- gramme of tho silver men will be carried out. The South and East have nothing to gain and much to lose by the imitation pro- posed, and they will be heard from if the ,foolishness does not ahow signso of diminish. ing. And even In the West they are not unanimous for inaation. Thus the Chicago Herald says: The free coinage of silver would be unjust and caiamitous in more ways than one. It would enable mine owners to have seventy cents' worth of silver stamped as dollar and their fellow citizens would be compelled to receive them as dol lars. Why not make law enabling copper owners or wheat owners to stamp seventy cents' worth of their products ns dollar and compel their acceptance as suchi Il would instantly shift our standard of values from gold to Q silver basis, and, with the disappearance of gold, prices would rise te meet the known deficiency in the unite oj value. With such an imitation the poor man the salaried man and the man O fixed income would suffer and th' rich man and the spoculator would profit Nothing bat evil could result from thu change of base. Prices of commoditie ! would rise much faster than wages would and long before an adjustment could b reached the country would be involved il strikes, lockouts and, possibly, bloodshed Ia addition to the public dishonor tha
 would be invited, every debt shirker woul' take advantage of the law to pay his obliga
 tions in the depreoisted coin. To such
 banquet of repudiation, robbery, Injustice
 disorder and disgrace the senators of tn
 United States invite us.
 The action of the senate Is foolish and raa
 cslly-mors raseally, perhaps, than foolish
 Any man at all fit to be . senator of tn
 United States knows better than to vote fo
 free coinage.

Be Thou mY ssrenrsh.

 When on my day of life the night is falling, And, in the winds from uusunned places blown, I hear far voices out of darkness calling My feet te paths unknown, Thou who hast made my house of life So pleasant, Leave not it's tenant when its walls decay; o love divine, O helper ever present, Be thou my strength and stay! Be near ms when all else is from mo drifting, Earth. sky, home's picture, days of shade and And kindly faces to my own uplifting The love which answers mine have but thee, Father, let thy spirit Bs with me then to comfort and uphold: No gate of pearl. no branch of palm merit, Nor street of shining gold. Suffice it If, my good and i'll uureckoned, And both forgiven through thy aboundine grace find myself by hands familiar beckoned Unto my fitting place, Some humble door among thy many mansions Some sheltering shade where sin and -strivina And flows forever through heavens green expaa siens Tho river of thy peace. There from the music round about me stealing fain would learn the new and holy song, And find at last, beneath thy trees of healing, The life for which long.
