was an outpouring Of people from the
heart of the city, such as has been sell
dom witnessed here. 1t was recalled by
many of those who docked toward Lin
coin park to-day that similar exodus
under far different circumstances, how
ever had occurred just about twenty
years ago. This is October z. Two
days from now and Chicago will pass
the twentieth anniversary of her great
fire. On the 9th of October, 1871. thou
sands of refugees, homeless and impov-
erished, sought shelter in Lincoln park,
and for days afterwards tents were
very spot which now marks the site OF
the Grant monument In different
spirits and with different purpose did
the immense crowds move through the
north side of the city to-day.
In October. 1871. this entire section
was a wilderness of ruin. To-day
it is rebuilt more beautiful and
more substantial than ever. The
scorched and withered leaves of the
trees in Chicago's prettiest park have
long since given place to emerald foli-
age. The great calamity of 1871 is
almost forgotten, and the city which
was then sunk in the depths of despair
IS now more prosperous and hopeful
than at any period in its remarkable
history.
The great soldier of the rebellion had
scarcely breathed his last before the
project of erecting fitting monument
to his memory was preached here.
1t was scarcely suggested before
the necessary amount of money
was raised by popular subscrip-
ton. The complete work would
have been exhibited to the public one
year ago had not the great casting met

How Michigan Farmers Spoil
Their Watches.

A prosperous farmer recently enter
ed jewelry store in Bay City, Mich,
and asked if the repairs on his watch,
which he had left there a short time
before, were completed. The pro-
prietor said the watch was ready and
delivered it with the remark: "Next
time don't use quite so much kero-
sene." The man looked surprised and
embarrassed, but managed to say:
81 guess I won't oil it any more at
all: 1t costs too much" He paid
his bill and departed. After he had
gone a reporter asked if the man had
actually put kerosine oil into his
watch.
"Certainly he did," said the jeweler,
s'and he is not the only one who does
it. We have cases of a similar kind
every few weeks; and people who, one
would think, know better are generally
the ones who commit such folly. I sup
pose a little kerosine would not do q
watch much harm, but when it is pour
ed in something happens, and we are
called upon to remedy the difficulty.

some show of reason-causing serious

THE BELFRY CLOCK,

High up in the belfry tower,
The beltry clock proclaims the hour,
Shadow and sun
For everyone,
Shadow and sun from the belfry tower!
Nine Of the clock! it's morning gay,
The children sing at their merry play,
And bird and bee are over the lea,
And the ships are out on the dancing sea.
Twelve of the clock! it's golden noon,
The bells are ringing happy tune,
And the bridegroom waits for his BRIDE
sweet flower:
Shine on them! bless them, O bridal hour!
High up in the belfry tower.
The belfry clock proclaims the hour,
Shadow aud sun
For everyone,
Shadow and sun from the belfry tower!
Six of the clock the sun is low,
And hOmeward the weary world doth go,
And, passing by, they pause and sigh
Where the quiet dead in the churchyard
lie.
Twelve of the clock! so time goes on,
SO time shall be till time be done,
And the clarion ringeth it's bidding clear,
'Sleepers, awake! the dawn is here"

Our musical ladies and gentlemen
visited Elljnwood last Friday evening
and presented the comic operetta,
penelope" to large audience. From
all We can learn that musical gem was
a sure "taker" with our happy Elm
wood people. The ladies and gentle
men taking part are certainly worthy
of all the praise that is being heaped
upon them. They feel highly graft
fed at the liberal patronage accorded
them by the Ellinwood people, and
will ever remember the occasion Of
that trip with feelings Of pleasure. A
gay party of young folks of Great
Bend, engaged bus and four horse
team, decorated the outfit with flags
and bunting and went down with our
singers. The DEMOCRAT again takes
occasion to congratulate Mr.. Carr and
his musical assistants.

Kentucky Straight,

Considerable interest was manifested
in the Kentucky state elections that
came off Aug. 3rd. The alliance OF
peoples party was expected, by repub-
cans especially, to cut considerable of a
figure in the elections. The result is
that the entire democratic ticket is
elected by from 10000 to 10000 major
tiles. The peoples party polled only
about 10000 votes, most of which came
from the republican party. While the
legislature is democratic, many of the
representatives are alliance men, and
probably will have sufficient strength
to create the legislation the farmers
desire.

A New Departure.

The Colorado Midland is responsible
for the most novel, and at the same
time the most practical departure of the
years railway arrangements. This
new departure comes in the form of a
combination ticket, which is good for
passage on all the regular trains Of the
line betweenl Colorado Springs and
Woodland Park, and allows the holder
to stop at any Of the hotels in the justly
famous "Ute Pass.'' The fact is that
all the hotels are in the Pass, and the
visitors can, therefore, have a fine
opportunity to see all there is to be
seen in one of the most celebrated parts
of the picturesque West.
The arrangement is so simple that
anyone can understand it at a glance.
The tourist buys a ticket at any of the
officesl of the Santa Fe or Midland
roads, for as many days as he expects
to be out, paying therefor fixed
amount. This ticket entities him to
the best accommodations at the hotels
long or as short time as he desires to
remain at anyone of them. He is then
entitled to travel to the next one be
wishes TO visit, without additional cost,
as his ticket is good on the trains as
often as he wishes to ride.
In this way he has the benefit of the
lowest weekly or monthly rate, and can
divide his time among the various re
sorts and pay no moreover less
than if he spent the whole time at a
single place.
These tickets are made good for a
week, or any number of days up to
thirty, and children are given reduced
rate. 1t costs a man much less to
travel in this way than it formerly did,
as he has no anxiety about his expenses,
for they are all paid i'll advance, and he
knows to dollar what his trip is going
to cost him. For families it is a great
comfort and convenience, for all hustle
and discomfort are done away with.
The Midland has put on three extra
trains, which now make seven trains
each way through the Pass every day.
A person can travel through the Pass
almost every hour of the day or night,
and the guests Of the various resorts
can pay each other friendly visits with
out any additional expense.
This plan will certainly prove the
and there is no reason why it should
not be great success.
Full information can be obtained
from any agent of the Santa Fe system
or Colorado Midland road, or by COM
municating with Chas. S. Lee, General
Passenger Agent, Colorado Midland
Railway, Denver, Colo.

Ahont the Size of Il.

The editor of the Democratic Messen-
ger, at Eureka, truthfully sums up the
situation as follows:
"Why are the democrats not willing
to vote the peoples ticket again this
YEAR," said prominent alliance man
to the writer this week; ''You favor
free coinage of silver, tariff reform,
opposition to trusts, and government
control of railroads just as we do.
What objections can there be to voting
with party whose principles are the
the same as your own?" The gentle
man was evidently sincere and we said
to hint this: "When your party was
first organized and while it made its
fight on the issues mentioned, we were
with you. But when you drop tariff
altogether, laugh at TIE silver question
as mere quibbling point and center
your whole strength on government
loans and radical imitation of the cur
rency, then the democratic party and
the peoples party are no longer travel
ing in the same direction. Further
than this, you insist that the new party
is the same thing as democracy and yet
95 per cent. of your speakers denounce
the democrats as being no better than
the republicans. Today your leading
men are in democratic states seeking to
overthrow our organization there. You
boast that you licked the republicans
last year and are going to devote your
attention next to thrashing the demo-
Gratis, Notwithstanding the fact that
but for the assistance of these same
democrats you could never have
achieved your victory in Kansas"
Whether the gentleman thought the
reasons sufficient we do not know, but
he said no more about the democrats
voting the peoples ticket.

Last Friday horse and buggy ran
away with two little children of Geo.
I. Flint's, living south of Geo. Moses.
The oldest child, a little girl of about
six years, held onto her baby brother
heroically. and probably saved its life
thereby, as when they were thrown
out they both fell together and the
baby was unhurt, while the little girl
sustained a severe confusion on the
head, though not dangerous.
