AT the meeting of the executive com
mittee held In this city Tu esday and
Wednesjay a large amount Of routine
business was dissatched.
OchsenreiteT, Brown and Powers were
appointed building committe, and in
~conjuEctson with the achItect, Mr.. Dow.
were instructed TO hasten the eonstruc-
ton olthe worlds fair bu aiding. Re
ports were received from agents at work
securing exhibits from this yerr's crop,
showing that this part of the work is
being vigorously pushed-special dis
patch.
Now we hope every county will com
promptly to the front with the money
they have subscribed. Il IS now time
for work that means something. The
construction of the building has been
ordered and IL has TO be paid for when
completed. We know that people have
neglected this matter, but this can not
be INDUCED IN any longer If we are to
stand up and be among the other states
We must plank down our cash and show
that We mean business. We call upon
the press all over the state to forcibly
impress the necessity of the situation
upon their readers aud arouse them TO a
realizing sense Of the duty they owe, not
only to themselves and their Co, but TO
the preservation of the good name ofthe
Sjste as well.

The chair, instead of inquIring if there
were two persons in the convention who
had east a vote aud one half each for Mr..
Potter, and on asceTtaining the fact, as
he surely would, ordering a new vote in
the interest Of justice, paid no attention
to the matter and did nothing to correct
the mistake. When that vote was shown

a NEW SCHEME.

The Woman's Land Syndicate of
Waukegan, Illinois, is a new venture on
the part of yemen. Its managers are
all women and they only sell property
TO women. Mrs. K A. Emmons is the
author of the plan, and has demonstra-
lsi that in financial enterprise women
can invent and engineer practical busl-
ness sceemes as well as men can. The
Syndicate bought last April 1900 lots,
scattered about and around the town Of
Waukeean, each lot valued al $50. they
have adopted a profit sharing $40 bond
system and have met with remarkable
surcess in selling their bonds.
This property was contracted for upon
one years time, and all that is not paid
for at the end of that time reYeIts to the
original owners. so that there would be
no liabilities in case ofa failure to sell,
but as six large factories have been es-
tablished OIL this property which require
5000 employees, and two other manu-
facturies have purchased sites, and sew
eral others are endeavoring to do go,
there is no doubt about the Woman's
Land Syndicate.
The money received on the sale of
bonds is paid on th land.
The managers get nc salary
but do the business for one half the
profits, and the bond holders get the
other half. They have advertised freely
and sent thousands of personal letters.
On July 10Th these women managers
planned a railroad excursion for the w.
c. I. U. and their friends, sending free
ticket for round trip from Chicago 10
Waukegan With each invitation.
The occasion was the gift transfer and
dedication of two valuable lots to the
w. c, I. L. of the town prominent
speakes and a happy reunion Of temper
ance workers, marked the day brightly.
We received a transport but unfortu-
nately could not he present. This syn
dseate presents an opportunity for any
one who desires,to invest monty safely
and probably. IRENE Il. ADAMS.
JUST why such exaggera'e ed report OF
the wheat crop of this section should
have been sent broadcast through the
land Is what l a not understand re-
marked a gentleman in our hearing the
other day. why" said he, continue
ing his talk, the claim is set up that
the crop of Day County will average %
bushels to the acre, and 1 know that it
won 60 much more than half that
amount-an average of Is bushels will
be a big yield. We have had to much
rain, and rust, smut and many Other
diseases never heard Of before will be-
found to be in the wheat when harvest
ted"
Perhaps the gentleman was right with
reference to the yield-it wont be as
much as was expected earlier in the sea-
son, but he is mistaken abouttbe diseased
wheat. By careful inquiry We can find
only one or two pieces that are at all
affected by the rus. or smut and these
only in the low places in fields where
the grain had stood in the water for a
day or two. The harvest is now being
pushed rapidly and before the end of
THIS week a large part OF our crop will
have been harvested. While Day Co.
nay not get as much to the acre as il
was hoped she would, it is certain she
viii have a decidedly live and hearty
crop.

Ingenious street sweeper.

Many cities from New York down
ward, which have not yet solved the
problem of cleaning their streets well
and cheaply, would profit greatly by
an examination into the working OF a
machine that has been introduced
into Germany for picking up street
sweepings. This machine, which Is
drawn by horses, takes up In its for
ward motion the moist street debris
or mud which has been deposited In
streaks by the preceding sweeper.
The frame of the machine carries,
suspended from the rear axle, an iron
trough of half cylindrical shape,
about four feet in length and nearly
three feet wide. At the inside of the
rear wheel an open paddle wheel is
attached, which takes up the sweep
ings and drops them into the trough.
A small plow at the front serves to
narrow the strip OF swecpings, which
may possibly have been scattered
somewhat by the hoofs of the horses
drawing the machine. When the
trough Is filled 1t can be instantly
dumped at any required spot by
means OF a crank and chain arrange
ment. 1t is stated that this machine,
(which Is easily drawn by two horses
iand managed by one man, can remove
from four to six miles OF double rows
OF sweepings In day.

When the cholera has reached America 1t
has never been with any decrease in Its vir-

the first epidemics did not reach u.s. The
first one to attack America was that which
started at the Hurdwar pilgrimage of 1862.
After IL had reached Europe and ragged
there and In England. Ireland, and Scotland
during 1880 and 1891 it was conveyed by
ten or twelve Irish emigrant ships TO Que
bee in the spring of 1872. From there IL
went up the st. Lawrence River and across
the lakes to Detroit, where IL met the
United States troops going 60 the Black
Hawk war; In short time the whole force
sent by way of the lakes was rendered In
capable of taking the field.

part reached Chicago In a deplorable con

They Like Beer.

The taste for alcohol is not confined
to human beings, as animals take
very kindly to it, and little practice
makes them confirmed topers. We
have never yet met dog that could
resist bread soaked in beer, and Rich
ardson tells us of cat that was
taught by some children to drink
wine. "She would amuse company
by taking her share of old port, and
becoming first excited, and then very
stupid, unsteady, and sleepy" The
poor beast became dropsical, and died
of liver disease, but then IL had been
drenchcd with drink far beyond the
limits of moderation, and the usual
results followed.
Richardson also tells us of how he
was driving near Canterbury, when
the horse stopped short at public
house. Il asked the driver what that
for The horse said he, always
stops here for his beer. He wouldn't
60 by on no account. You couldn't
whip him by, sir, until he has had his
beer. His former master taught him
to drink beer, and nvariably treated
him to it, and here he'll stop till he
gets it, 1t was the fact; a large
tankard of beer was brought out fol
that horse, and he disposed OF the
fluid with as much relish as his mas
ter, and then went his way. Black

Going to Sleep.

Scientific investigators assert that
in beginning to sleep the senses do
not unitedly fall into slumber, but
drop off one after another. The sight
ceases in consequence of the protec-
tiOn of the eyelids to receive impress
sions first. while all the other senses
preserve their sensibillty entire. The
sense of taste is the next which loses
its susceptibility TO impression, and
then the sense OF smelling. The
hearing IS next in order, and last of
all comes the sense Of touch. Fur
thermore, the senses are brought to
sleep with different degrees OF pro-
foundness. The sense OF touch sleeps
the most lightly and is the most cas-
lily awakened; the next easiest Is the
hearing, the next Is the sight, and
the taste and smelling awake last.
Another remarkable circumstance de-
serves notice: certain muscles and
parts of the body begin to sleep be.
fore others. Sleep commences at the
extremities, beginning with the feet
and legs, and creeping toward the
center OF the nervous action. The
necessity of keeping the feet warm
and perfectly still as a preliminary OF
sleep is well known. From these ex-
plantations it will not appear surpris-
ing that there should be an imperfect
kind of mental action which produces
the phenomena Of dreaming.
