Died Like a Hero.

James NJ. Prentiss, son of Hon.
William Prentiss of Evanston, and
formerly of McDonough county,
lost his life in Lake Michigan last
week, while saving the life of young
lady he accompanied in pleasure
ride in boat. After having watched
her escort row the boat for some
time, the young lady requested him
to change positions with her that she
might row awhile. In so doing
the boat was turned with the waves
and at once became unmanageable,
turning the occupants into the wa
ter to struggle for life. No sooner
had they reached water than James
cried for help, and upon hearing him,
crew put out to save the young
people James swan to his friend
and, Selling her, swan back to the
boat and secured her hands to the
boat, but as the waves were tossing
the boat to and fro, and as the young
lady was almost frantic, she became
loosened and was again on the mer-
cies of the field of waters. Again he
struggled until he had placed her
hands on the boat. but of no avail.
His efforts to rescue her were untir-
ing, telling her to be calm-that he
would save her life, but finally his
strength failed him, and just as he
reached the boat the fifth time with
his burden, he became exhausted and
went down just in time to escape be-
ing rescued by the crew that were on
their way to save them. The crew
reached the young lady in time
to save her. but her brave hearted
escort went down before their eyes.
The body was recovered and taken
to Macomb. where the interment was
made. The grief stricken father has
the sympathy of many Rock Island
county friends in his great affection.

and its efforts to serve two masters TO
the injury of both. It increased the
duty on tin plate to protect" American
manufacturers against foreign competi-
tors and now adds a duty on the
product American manufacturers must
import to use in the article they are
striving to compete with their foreign
rivals. So now these protectionists are
worse of than they were before they
succeeded in Inducing a paternal gov
eminent to tax the people for their ben
eft. This is indeed being hoist by ones
own petard and shows what protection
ism run mad means under McKinleyism.
Importers have not been idle pending
this law going into effect, and the effort
10 get as much block tin into the country
before the law went into operation has
increased the value of importations for
eleven months of the year by 40 per
cent.
The imports for May last were 1922
29s pounds, valued at q, o33, 493, against
imports in May, 1892, of 5,1O6,3o7
pounds, valued at 81, O23, $50.
The figures for the eleven months
months ending May 81 were 51,755' 779
pounds, valued at $40, 400, los for 1898.
against 3s,Os9,Os5 pounds, valued at
81. 400, sO2 for 1892. The imports for
June have not yet been compiled, but
will carry the total importations for the
year to over 10000, 900 pounds and
nearly $4,000, 900. The total imports
for the fiscal year 1882 were 43,9OS'653
pounds, valued at IS. 667 $40.
The imports OF tin plate in the mean
time show few Of the effects of increas-
ed American production and diminished
demand for the foreign product. The
imports for eleven months ending May
81, 1898. were SOS, 2O4, 946 pounds. val
ued at SIS, 1903, g13, against imports for
eleven months ending May 81, lo9Z' oi
1853, 9O7, 331 pounds, valued at SlO,67l,-
GEO.
To sum up the whole matter, the ef-
feet OF this new law means-taking the
basis Of 1892 as a criterion-that the
American people are to be taxed over
81, 100, 600 a year in order to discourage
American industries.

What could She Moan?

A certain man in Detroit, who goes
fishing two or three times year and
brings home more stories than fish, was
talking to a friend not long after his
last trip.
and what did your wife say" in
Quired the friend, when you told her
you had caught forty-seven fish, none
less than pound weight?"
That wife Of mine is queer wo-
man." was the reflective response.
You know that statue Of truth we
have there in the parlor without any
clothes on?"
yes"
"WeT, do you know when 1 told her
what I had caught, she didn't say a
word, but went right over to that statue
with tears Ia her eyes aud wrapped q
rug around it. Now, what in thunder
do you suppose she meant by that?"
and his friend assured him that il was
entirely beyond his explanation.

Thought He vas Left.

They were on their wedding journey,
going TO New York When they reached
Philadelphia, Mr.. Flynn went out for
"a snack" aud promised to get "lovey"
a sandwich and some pie. But first he
ordered something liquid, and as II
tasted good, be fingered over 1t, slipping
it leisureiy. Then he put his hand In
his pocket, and remembered that he had
given his wife his pocketbook.
''I'll be back in a minute" he said,
explaining the matter to the barkeeper,
and he made a rush for the train just In
time to see it move ont on fast time.
"By jove!" be exclaimed, as be recov-
cred the breath he had lost In Ruthless
" pursuing his train, "this is nice ix
for fellow on his wedding trip. wife
gone, and not cent OF money In my
pocket"
He went back to the barkeeper, who
heard him suspiciously, and advised
him to telegraph to the nextstation and
make request that his wife should
stop there, and telegraph back some
money TO enable him TO reach her, and
TO pay for his refreshments.
As he had several hours TO wait after
he had sent his telegram, he sauntered
round 10 the other side Of the depot
and saw a long train Of cars just leav-
ing, and the pale, anxious face OF his
wife pressed against a car window.
GOOD heavensr he exclaimed, what
a blank fool am" and he swung nim-
self on the last car, just escaping being
drawn under the wheels.
When he reached his wife he asked
incohereutly:
Where are you going? Where have
you beenP What has become OF our
train?
The look Of reproach she gave him
cut him TO the heart. Ii took him an
hour to explain how he had lost sight OF
the cars, and believed the train that had
pulled out was the one she was on.
They made up, but the maddest man
on the line was the barkeeper, who was
the only one who was left.
