MIR. Longdon has been making some
very tine pictures in his new STYLES of
finish. The French enamel is a bril-
liant polish on a raised surface and is
very handsome The delicate and very
exquisite effect Of the Mat finish needs
to be seen to be understood. The regu-
lar cabinets are entirely satisfactory.
1t you have any money TO spend for
keepsakes none are more priced in after
years than good pictures See Long
don's studio.

Dick Nye and Fred Basford tried to
go to Bloomington last Saturday. They
left here on their bicycles at p m. and
struck darkness, rocks, flint gravel and
a punctured tire near Flora. Nye
was the unlucky one and by the time
the boys reached the hospitable home of
Israel ROBERTS they wisely concluded
that they cid not want to 60 to Bloom
ington. The boys came home Sunday
tired enough, especially Nye, who walk
ed all the way and pushed his wheel,
but they claim a royal good time all
the same, and never dying affection
for jersey milk and good bread
A little boy aged nine years. son of
Geo. Whitish, living near Sitter, left
his home and was gone three or four
days before his parents began to look
for him, supposing he had gone to his
grandfather's. Tuesday about forty men
went out 10 search for the little fellow
and found him dead near Mr. Lenz's
place about three miles from his home
The coronor's jury brought in verdict
of death from hunger and exposure
He was thinly clad and barefoot The
parents are severely blamed for their
apparent negligence in looking after
and properly caring for their boy.
There we're three important factors to
the exposition he fair itself, the people
and the means Of transportation. OF
the 4,30O.000 through the suburban
passengers the Burlington carried
5,060,000. The number of passengers
carried by the six lines leading to the
Northwest as taken from the Chicago
Inter Ocean. of Nov. 2, is as follows;-
Burlington, 060,0 900, Northwestern
$500, 900, Rock Island-1 100000, st.
Paul-62S, $50, Wisconsin Central
So, 600, Chicago Great Western-5O, 900.
From this you will see that the Bur
lington holds the lead in passenger
traffic oy over half a million Truly,
great is the Burlington.
Died In Mineral Point, Nov. 4th, of
typhoid fever, in the 45th year of her
age, Mary Clara, wife of Silas H.
Schellenger, and daughter of Cyrus II.
and Margery Keene. Mr.. and Mrs.
Schellenger are we'll known in this
county since 1t was Mrs. Schellenger's
early home and Mr.. s. taught school
here for several years. Her death was
quite unexpected for the disease had
manifested no unusual symptoms until
short time before she died and then
Mr. SchelleDger, who is teaching at
Boulder, Colorado, was telegraphed TO
come but he did not reach home in time
to see her alive. Four daughters and
one son are left 70 mourn with the
father.
Ex-Sec. j. M. Rusk is a very sick
man. 1t has been necessary for him to
submit to q severe, though not usual
ly a dangerous surgical operation, and
the operation has left him in very
weak and feverish condition. His
physicians believe he will get well
though they admit that his condition
is very critical and uncertain Gen
Rusk is past 20 years Of age and while
of apparently robust constitution, he
has not been we'll man for years, and
it need be no matter Of surprise if later
reports from his home at Viroqua give
cause for alarm at the result of his
present sickness. There is probably
not more widely known man in the
United States or one who has a larger
number of personal friends
