A bill has been prepared for the consider

A bill has been prepared for the consider
alton of the legislature which provides for
establishing binding Irvine plant in the
prison of sufficient capacity to make all the
Irvine needed in the state. ALI Irvine man
ufactured over the above amount, is to be
sold for the benefit of the convicts, one
third of the proceeds to go to their families
or dependents, and two-thirds to be laid
away to the account of the convict and
turned over to him ON his release.
That is something like it. Now, if some
one will tell us how much of nothing makes
something. we convicts and our families can
begin enjoying our prosperity.

rope, bagging and mating can be made
from ordinary slough grass. The Alliance
Irvine company have bought the patent
and will establish Irvine factory at Des

Owners of fruit orchards should
get everything in readiness to save as
much of the crop as possible by dry
ing and evaporating. While it is not
probable that prices will be as high
through the coming fall and winter
as the last, yet there will likely be a
good demand at prices that will pay
well for the labor OF drying and
evaporating. The STANDARD would
like to see every farmer in Warren
county establish a miniature sub
treasury at his own home, and store
away every pound Of the farms pro-
ducts. If put in good marketable
shape there will be a lively demand
for all of them before the year is out,
with money in abundance behind the
demand to pay for them.

following rates during the season: per
gallon $1.O0, per quart 80 cents.

South Side citizens had an exciting
rhase after . wolf yesterday morning.
Just where the animal came from Ii not

residents Of that portion Of the city had
pf the arrival Of the stranger in their
midst was the sight Of strange looking
qnadruped. something like dog. worry
ing small dog near Indiana avenue and
Twenty-fifth street. Something in the
savage manner III which the animal
snarled and showed its teeth at the ap-
proach Of pedestrian warned those
whose curiosity prompted them to try to
Investigate not to venture too near. and
they quickly retired to watch develop
ments from the shelter and safety Of i'd
jacent doorways
Such was the state of affairs when ct
1870 o'clock the dogcatchers' wagon
came In sight. Louis Schlosser tried to
throw . moose around the supposed dogs
neck, but It leaped TO one side in time 10
avoid the snare. and started down lndi-
ana avenue. closely pursued by the
crowd, with Officer John Joindt and the
dogcatcher well in the lead.
When Thirtieth street was reached the
wolf sought to evade the shower Of mis-
cellaneous missiles thrown 1t him from
every side by turning the corner. Down
Twenty-fifth street the chase was con-
tinued to Cottage Grove avenue, down

Engineers on the railroads IN several
parts Of the state have experienced much
difficulty in running their trains on time
during the past week owing 70 the large
downfall Of leaves upon the tracks The
Housatonic road has suffered most
through the long stretches of woodland
which the road passes. II has been i'm
possible for the section hands on the diff
ferent divisions to keep the tracks free
from them. The result Is that when the
wheels Of the locomotive pass over them
the sap from the leaves makes the rails
slippery and the obstruction Is as bad as
hail, snow or ice. It is even worse, as
the leaves refuse TO melt or freeze, but
stick to the rails until dried up.-New
