The Capital makes the announcement
with regret and its readers will dou tless
receive the news with the same feeling
that one of Springield's most en- erpris-
ing and wide-awake merchants, Thomas
McGrath is about to leave us. He has
been doing business in our midst for the

ly missed by our people, as his enter,
prise and liberality in aiding everything
tending to promote the prosperity of
Springfield has made him a valuable cit
izen. The large and liberaI premiums Of
fered by him to SangamOn county fair
exhibitors for the past two years had
much to do with the interest manifested
among the exhibitors In number of i'm
pOrtant department. B 1t he has conclu-
ded TO move to Chicago and embark i'm
business and will sell out his stock ia tnis
city as soon as possible His immense
stock of dry goods notions millinery on

ed at ruinOus low prices and thus the
itizens of Springfield and Sangamon
county will reap a harvest of bargains
through his contemplated change of 10

ANOTHER SENSATION

Which promises to involve a
prominent Odd Follow and a young
lady member Of one Of our first
churches. The gentleman IN ques-
ton was an applicant for the posi-
ton Of policeman under the present
administration and would have
been appointed, had not another
applicant been a member of the
same church. 1t seems that this
man and the young lady, who is a
prominent member of the. church
choir, were out riding and the man,
who by the way is married, sought
to take advantage of the young laiy
and had she not attempted to scream
she would have been criminally
assaulted. We shall investigate the
charge and should it prove to be
true, we will give the names of the
parties in our next weeks issue.

Beware OF Frauds.

Reading the advertisement of the
''New York Clothing House," now
at 421 washington street, we are
constrained to say that our readers
should be careful not to be victim
lied by irresponsible parties who
come to the city advertising great
bankrupt sales and other kinds OF
sacrifice sales to be made within
twenty or thirty days at prices rep
resented to be from so to IS per
cent less than actual cost of produt-
ton.
1t is always the poor man who is
aimed at by this class of swindlers
and many people in the hope of
saving a little money in purchasing
goods often patronize these places
only to find upon investigation that
they have paid as much for an in
ferior article as they would have,
had they bought from a reputable
tradesman who has custom to
build up and reputation to main
tain among people where he lives.
On the other hand the thirty day
man leaves town in very few days
and does not care whether the peo-
pie are suited or not, nor what they
think of him so long as he has their
money in his pocket, and they have
obtained comparatively nothing in
return.
Such clothing houses as NJ. Benja-
min Geo., who can always be relied
upon; W. Kessberger, Hall & Her
rick; |. Price; Myers Bros, and a
few others are substantial houses.

The DAIRY.

"A cows milk and butter record for
o year is worth hundred times more
than a study of her cscutcheon.-Massa-
chusetts Plowman.
The conditions which are unfavora-
BILE in keeping milk affect the cream
first. hence the need of great care in
managing cream.
Study the COW. says an exchange.
That is first rate advice, but some cow
owners would take a big step forward if
they would study themselves little.
The experience of the best dairy
men has demonstrated that the plain.
ordinary, half-breed American cattle
are the best for dairy purposes, both as
regards the quality and the quantity of
the mil;x.-Farm. Field and Stockman.
Grain is thrcshed once. and gives its
yield then. The COW. i: threshed, will
not yield milk, but if fed on grain and
good plants, and well cared for and
sheltered. she will yield a paying return
twice day for many days each year.
If you have a good COW and an in
ferior one. suppose you keep their milk
separate n month or two and compare
the results Then if you will estimate
from that what the difference will be
for several months, we think you will
get rid of the inferior cow.-Wcstern
Rural.
-Milch cows require special care and
feeding as winter progresses. Liberal
feeding, regular sailing, pure water and
if slightly warmed the better; and card
ing daily, are items that pay in the case
of cows, especially if You are engaged
in winter dairying-a business which
may be made profitable in many local
tiles if properly managed.
