stormy birth, the bloody baptism, the
aggressive nature, the stalwart
youth, and the glorious young
manhood of the state, have made
it historic. Its wonderful va
viety of production, the richness and
vigor of its soil, the extent of its natu-
raj resources, its unsurpassed system OF
public education, its heroism in war, its
activity in all peaceful pursuits, and its
most marvellous material development,
have male it the typical American COM
monwealth
To the people of such state we con-
fidently appeal for the co operation nee
essary to make an exhibit at Chicago
such as will once more attract the at
tention OF the world, and confirm our
position as one Of the most progressive
commonwealths in the Union.

Marriage Made Easy.

SUMNER, ILL.,, May 11.-Mr. Nicholas
Implicit and Miss Minnie Hicksor
were married in this city last night,
which displays true romance. Mr..
Implicit rescued Miss Hickson from
Drowning in vault of milk at the Sum-
ner creamery works some time ago, and
she claimed that for this she owed him
her life and gave him her hand in mar
riage. When Justice Sumner was
asked what he would perform the cere-
mony for, he answered 81. There was
also bid made by another justice OF
the peace and minister, as low as SOC.
Finding there was much competition,
Justice Jones agreed to marry the couple
and give them DC. He was given the
Job.

Office bell, which he calls ''bore bell, y
and he says it is great..thing. When
he is tackled by bore, or when his
lady visitors insist on giving him the
history Of all their relatives and their
ills, the doctors foot suddenly touches
a spring, which rings the 'bore bell, y

Milling News.

MINNEAPoLIs, Minn., May 1.-THE
Northwestern Miller says:
''There was big shrinking in the
flour output, from $50, barrels to
125, 900 barrels. The tendency to re-
duce the production is on account of the
lifeless condition of the -four trade. The
decline in wheat has naturally made a
very dead flour market. Prices are
lower and unsettled. Millers believe
that bed rock prices have been reached,
and rather look for an improved de-
mand for flour should wheat remain
fairly steady. The trade is fully as dull
as domestic"
