1t appears that Chicago contains
more residents who were born at sea
than any other city in the United
States. The census experts are un-
able to account for this curious fact;
hut 1t may at least be said that the sea
deserves all the sympathy In the case.
Uncle Tom was in the city last eve-
ming. He died. Eva went to heaven,
while old Lecre whipped his black
snake in .nerciless fashion over poor
Toms shoulders. 1t was q tragic affair
and It's newness and freshness, and
sprightliness was enough to make the
angels weep. IL
f~ C. d. Lufkin, who returned from
IChicagO the other day, purchased
while in that city full line of pianos
which he will soon have on exhibition.
He bought them for spot cash and be-
lieves he can sell the same grade of
piano cheaper than anybody here
abouts. Look out for his announcement
in the next issue.
| An editor of poetic mind gets off
the following on Iowa corn: never
| since the world was born was there q
crop 80 fine as corn; its tassels are
as fine as silk; its green stalks keeps
the COW in milk; and when its other
joys are ripe, the cob is made into q
pipe. In thinking all these virtues DER,
we'er glad Columbus sought this shore. !"
Rev. w. G. Cleworth, brother of
Rev G. d. Cleworth who for five years
was pastor of the NJ. +. church in Ver-
| million will for the coming year be

He is we'll equipped for larger charge,
but the state of his health Is such that
| it was thought best to award him a
| light amount of work.
Typhoid feever, now prevalent in
| many sections, results from taking the
| poison of fever into the stomach with
food. The poison breeds in filth, and
usually reaches the system through
we'll water or milk from cows which
have drank Of water full OF typhoid
poison. Moral: Prevent the disease
| by making sure that botn domestic and
stock water are uncontaminated by
filth from the stable, sty, closet,
kitchen or some other persons
premises.
Some fellow the other day entered
the Palace store and picked up glove
without paying for it or asking per-
mission. II the party really wants a
serviceable pair OF gloves he can have
the mate by calling at the store.
The only suggestion offered by the
proprietors Is that the person should
have asked permission rather than
take it so unceremoniously when no
one was looking.
Little Allie Rome last Wednesday
met with quite painful and what
! might have proven u fatal accident.
In company with friend of about her
own age she was enjoying the pleas
ures of horseback ride, when in some
manner the saddle turned and her foot
being entangled in the stirrup she was
left in such a position that at every
step the animal took her face received
a blow from it's hOOf. Prov
identially the horse was q gentle one
and stopped almost Immediately Of its
own accord. Beyond black eye and q
few other mirror bruises the little girl
was uninjured and will soon be as we'll
as ever.
