Figuring on Illinois.

The people who settled Indiana.
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
are the same people who have
made the state Of Illinois. They
have the same customs and the
same traditions, raise the same
crops, and as goes Illinois, will
probably go many Of her sister
western middle states. Unless
there has been an enormous
change Of sentiment since the last
election, Bryan will carry the
state. The votes cast al the last
election In The state Of Illinois, in
this connection, are interesting.
The vote for president in 1892
without fusion between the
democratic and populist parties,
was as follows: Democratic, 1885,.
ISL; republican, So9,2ss; popu.
listic, q, 2O7. There IL now III.

populistic parties, and based upon
the presidential vote Of 1892, there

WOMAN GREATEST
 ENEMY

Laura McHenry, in the Ladies Home j0mnaL, says:
 The headache par excellence or rather ad Hbttnm among women is the "sick headache," and by that l find is meant a headache which is attended in any stage of its action by a nausea, which increases until vomiting ensues, when the pa tient's skin becomes naturally moist again.
 And yet every woman can lessen the number and frequency of her headaches by assisting nature by natural means. The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which is evaporated from the natural waters of Carlsbad, taken early in the morning before breakfast, and if necessary at bedtime (about half a teaspoonful dis solved in a tumblerful of water), will supply these means.
 ltis an alterative and elimina- tive remedy, which dissolves ten acious bile, allays irritation, and removes obstructions by aiding nature, and not by sudden and excessive irritation, as most ca thartics do. It is of great benefit Tn temporary and habitual con- stlpation, liver and kidney dis eases, chronic catarrh of the stomach and bowels, rheumatism and gout, etc, and should be used early in the morning before breakfast, specially during the spring and summer months. Care must be exercised to obtain the genuine article, which is inn ported in round bottles and has the signature of EIsNER & MEN DELsoN Co.,, Sole Agents, New York, on the bottle.

digestive organs when they are weak ened by high temperature. It is pre- pared with regard to absolute purity and freedom from any possibility of contagion. The two prime causes of all bowel disturbance among babies contaminated food and food that is in digestible and innutritious-these have no terrors to mothers who restrict baby's diet to lactated food
 High temperature, with unsuitable feeding, brings cholera infantum, diar- rhoea and convulsions.
 But with the use of proper food-and there is nothing so thoroughly good as lactated food-these dangers are wholly avoided. It has been shown in every investigation that babies fed up- on this splendid food live longer and thrive better than those brought up on other diet. The childs steady and rapid growth and a weekly gain in weight become an assured fact, as the many mothers who have successfully brought up children on lactated food will tell you.
 Above is a picture of the baby of Mrs. Evelyn Plagit of Passaic Bridge, N. J., who says
 My baby, Irma Hope, was weaned when she was six months old, and for three days following lived on con- densed milk. But by fortune I met a lady on the ferryboat between Jersey City and New York who had a sweet little child, and I spoke to the mother and asked what food she lived On She remarked, lactated food. I said that had intended to try another, but would try lactated food. I did so, and from that time to this the little one has thrived wonderfully. I firmly believe that would not have had her with me now had I not used 1actated food. I shall continue using it until she is two years old"
 Lactated food saves babies lives.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 Wizard Edson's most marvellous in- vention, the vitascope, is now on exhi- bition, and exhibitions are given hour ly every day from 2 to and to 10 D. m. The vitascope consists of a, small lens such as is used in an ordinary ca mera. This lens is nearest the screen. Right before it is metal frame about an inch and half square, over which the picture to be reproduced passes. Behind this is a large lens, and high behind this lens is an arc light of 2,000 candle power The pictures to be 1e- produced have been photographed Cn kinetoscoDe films and are no bigger than the nail of one's little finger. Each of these films is fifty feet in length and contains several hundred pictures that go to make up the panorama. The film passes over a series of wheels at very rapid rate, propelled by electricity, and as the picture passes the frame behind the small lens mentioned the light from the arc lamp, passing through the large lens and being focused upon it, throws the picture through the SIndllef lellS upon the scteen, magnified 500 times. Thus the animated miniature picture taken by the kinetoscope is reproduced life size in all it's detail and definition on the screen.
 There were six pictures included in the program last night. The pictures were: The Leigh sisters in the umbrel- la dance; Cissy Fitzgerald in her dance; the kissing scene in the Widow Jones, showing May Irwin and John c. Rice; The Rescue, Herald Square, New York, La Loie Fuller's dance, train on Man haitian Elevated railroad, sea waves, a view at Dover Pier England.
 This performance is one of the most wonderful ever seen at the Grand, and as the admission is only 25 cents, and 10 cents for children, there is no doubt that it will be witnessed by large crowds during the week. The house is very cool, the four large electric fans being used all the time, which make it a delightful place in which to pass an hour.

CRESCENT AGnNr coMPnrMENrED.
What the Western Wheel Works Thinks
 of MT. Guernsey.


 of MT. Guernsey.
 The Crescent Bulletin" publica- ton published by the Western Wheel works, manufacturers of the Crescent bicycles, in recent issue took occasion to speak of it's New Haven representa- tive, Henry H. Guernsey, in the follow ing complimentary manner:
 ''We are proud of our New Haven, Conn.,, representative MT, H. H, Guern- sey, for many reasons, and we are proud of the loyal manner in which he year after year pushes Crescents to the very front of his territory, of his sue cessful and thriving business, of his genial and popular manner and of his forcible and extensive Crescent adyer- Using in his local papers. If all bfoy- cle dealers would adopt the cordial and yet strictly busnesslike methods which have particularly characterized our long and satisfactory dealings with MT Guernsey there would be little if anything left to be desired as regards the relationship between manufacturer and 'ealer. Few cities have more keen competition than New Haven, in the bicycle business, and the fact that MT Guernsey has for years steadily held and increased his bicycle trade among the best and most exclusive classes speaks volumes for his ability as a salesman and a manager.

IN BROAD DAY LIGHT
NICHOLS' GROCERY STORE ROBBED
 OF Il MONEY BOX.

Two Clerks Were Left in Charge of the
 Store But Did Not See How the Thieving
 Was Done-Letters, Cash and Many
 Stamps Taken Police Working on the
 Case.
 Elmer D, Nichols grocery store at SIS State street was relieved of one of it's money tills yesterday afternoon about 3;45 o'clock, The box is not used to keep the daily receipts of the concern in, but small change and postage stamps, and it occupies a position on shelf in the small room about midway in the store, which is used by the cash fer. When MT. Nichols went to dinner yesterday the box was in the usual po- sition, and had besides sixty cents in change $l00 worth of postage stamps in it.
 Two assistants looked after the inter- ests of the firm during MT. Nichols ab- sence, but from what is said to have taken place they were not at least ubiquitous, for when one of them had occasion to open the cash drawer, he LOullu IuetI IL Ildu peeu IelleN6u Ol tue change and stamp box. When, how or by whom no one knew. It was gone, and that was all that could be learned. MT, Nichols having returned from his dinner by this time the police were notified and a survey of the premises was taken. It was found that the person who took the box made his exit by way of the back door and into Pit kin alley, which extends from State street to Orange street, and communi- cates with the rear yard of the house occupied by Mir, Nichols. At the back of the store of Frank s. Platt seedman and florist, were found several pennies Which had dropped from the box as the culprit made his way to the alley.
 When MT. Nichols and his clerks were seen last evening they could not account for the taking of the money till except that the clerk ,who attends to the store on the inside had stepped to the door to assist his associate, who waits upon the customers in quest of vegetables, etc, which are in his par ticular line and that the thief watch ing his opportunity rushed out with the box.

Stock Market Bordered on Demoraliza-
 ton.
 New York, June 29-During the greater part of the day the stock mar ket, to put it mildly, bordered on de- moralization. The interviews with the leading eastern democratic leaders were mainly responsible for this condition of affairs, these politicians having practi- cally admitted in interviews printed yesterday that the free silver men will rot only dictate the platform of the party, but will name the candidate. These statements alarmed timid hold CTS of securities and encouraged the bears to make demonstrations against the list.
 Professional operators, as usual, were the first to discern the uneasiness and hammered the list. Long stock came out freely and the fact was developed that the market was honeycombed with stop loss orders The May statements of the St. Paul and Burlington & Quin- cy roads proved to be very unfavorable, the St. Paul showing net decrease of
 
 deficit of $250,646 Furthermore over one million dollars was withdrawn from the sub-treasury for shipment to Flu rope.
 The poor showing of the granger roads and the unexpected engagements of gold played directly into the hands of the bear leaders, and this with the prominence given the silver question, made it comparatively easy work to depress values. The decline in prices ranged from F to Az per cent, the in dustrials and grangers scoring the heaviest losses. The decline brought in London orders, and usually we'll in- formed firms with European connec- tions placed the buying for foreign ac- count at forty thousand shares.
 These purchases stenlmed the down ward movement for a time, and Ma jor McKinley's speech to the notiffca- ton committee in which he heartily en- dorsed the platform of the St. Louis convention also acted as a tonic, but in the late afternoon trading the mar ket developed renewed weakness and closed nervous. Net changes show losses of A@4 per cent, Chicago Gas leading.
 The railway and miscellaneous bond market was weaker in sympathy with the break in the share list, and the speculative issues scored losses of F to per cent. The transactions were larger than of late, footing up $1,039,- 0O0
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven:
