o'HARE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
A Well Known Character Tries to Go by
the Gas Route.

Barney O'Hare, of Pleasant Prairie,
ing at the Rhode hotel. About 3
o'clock this morning he woke those at
the hotel in order to get a room. At 5
o'clock as Peter Rhode was going about
the halls he discovered the odor of gas
in the vicinity of the room that Mr..
OHare was occupying. On trying to
open it he found it locked, but deciding
that the odor came from there, broke
violently into the room. O'Hare was
found in an almost unconscious state.
As far as he was able to expressed the
wish to be left alone. He even tried to
resist and said that they knew what
was the matter with him. He had ap-
parently turned on the gas with the in
tention of killing himself. He was
found in time, however, to save him
and is as well as could be expected
today
O'Hare is one of the we'll known
characters about the town. Only a
short time ago he was prosperous and
we'll to do farmer of Pleasant Prairie.
He has for years had one besetting sin,
and that was the too frequent use in
large quantities of that which inebri
ates and puts rheumatism in the hair
next morning. O'Hare had lost his
property, or at least, the greater part
of it through his blbulous habits
Barney was about town during the
evening Wednesday and it is believed
he was pretty we'll loaded" before he
got to the hotel.

how to Preserve Old Manuscripts.

The paper or document, after being
cleaned or brushed, is washed on both
sides with transparent adhesive solu-
ton. Sheets of imported white silk Of
the most delicate fabric. large enough to
give an ample margin or border to sur
round the document to be preserved, are
then placed on each side of the record
and pressed. The pressure causes the
silk to adhere closely to the document,
which is then treated to coating OF
paraffin for the purpose of bringing out
and making more legible the writing
thereon. This process seals the docu-
ment permanently from any danger OF
disintegration or fading of the ink, and
also is a protection against insects or
mice, which might prey upon the an
Gent records.

How to Economic In Dress.

IF black silk or fine wool dress has a
frayed place under the arm or conspic-
uous tear in the skirt, moisten a piece
of court plaster, put it on the underside
ard smooth down the edges, carefully
drawing them together. Any colored
goods may be repaired in this way If
you get plaster to match the silk. Ma
terial manufactured for the purpose can
be purchased at the notion counters of
some dry goods stores.
A last year s straw hat can be sponged
and cleansed with coffee, afterward
pressing with warm iron, laying the
rim on fat surface and using a pan
for the crown. In addition wire the
brim so that you can change the shape
or add an edge of fancy straw and fresh
trimmings.
If feathers have become damp, hold
them to dry over gentle heat, shaking
and waving until dry.
Fill damp shoes with torn newspapers
and let them dry in shape and use no
polish, but very little sweet oil, ap-
plying this only after they have been
we'll busted, and they will look nice for
a long time.
Remove gloves by taking hold OF the
wrist and pulling them off wrong side
out. Then turn and pull in shape. Trl-
f1es like this enable some women to ap-
pear we'll dressed on a minimum ex-
ponSe.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlin's Cough
Remedy. We have used it quite ex-
tensively and it has always given
entire satisfaction. -Olagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be certain preventive of pneu-
monia. Among the many thousands
who have used it for colds and lagrippe,
we have never yet learned of single
case having resulted in pneumonia.
Persons who have weak lungs or have
reason to fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand. The

Some criticism has been made Of the
rates adopted by your honorable body
as being excessive; but inquiry shows
that they are as low and in some in
stances lower than those charged in
larger cities, where, according to earn
ing capacity, they should be much low
er. We believe that after a year or so
our rates can be reduced gradually as
earnings increase, but we have con-
cluded to not recommend any change
at present.

Christmas 1896.

AS in days of old the Christ-chfld
To a wondering world was born,
In stable rude and barren
On that first, glad Christmas morn:
So today. long centuries after
AS it was in olden time,
Unto us a Stranger cometh
When the bells of Christmas chime.
Cometh down, nor ever faileth
Since that first mysterious birth,
When the world lies wrapt in slumber
And the moonlight pales the earth;
Cometh down and angel music
AS He passes softly swells;
While from earth go up to greet him.
Voices of the Christmas bells.
Through the world His way He talleth
And where e'er there needy be,
Clothes the naked, feeds the hungry
In the name of Charity;
And the greeting that he bringeth
Breathed again, and yet again;
Token is of Christmas season
Peace on earth, Good will toward men.

PAINTING ON GLASS.
How to Initiate Petra Dura and Mosaic
In Simple Manner.


In Simple Manner.
The materials required are ordinary
oil colors, mirrorine medium, some art
lists enamels, sable brushes and a good
black for grounding. Japanese black
lacquer covers better than most of them,
and tube of ecailline brown black is
needed for outlining.
The glass must be thoroughly cleaned
with soap and hot water and free from
smears. Place the glass face downward
over the design to be copied and put in
the outlines with eoailline brown and
mirrorine medium. A fine sable brush
is used, and the lines must be solid and
very equal in thickness. They will take
some time to dry-perhaps two days.
They must be dry and hard before the
next painting is started; otherwise their
sharpness and decision will be entirely
marred and cannot be restored without
great trouble.
The tone for coloring must be chosen
from among those that are found in
stone and marble, of which there is an
infinite variety. Gray, red, yellow,
green and blue abound and can be
blended in every conceivable manner.
In arranging the scheme of color to be
carried out, it will be found that COM
bination of three or four tints well ar
ranged and balanced will prove easier
to manage and more satisfactory in re-
suit than kaleidoscope arrangement
of number of oolors, which is apt to
impart bewildering effect to the de-
sign. Each different tint of the oil col
ors must be mixed up ready for use in
sufficient quantity to cover all the parts
required. 1t does not answer to mix
with the brush as the work progresses.
The color would be certain to vary and
look like paint, not stone.
Mix mirrorine with the color and
cover solidly, taking care to keep with
in the outlines. The enamel can be used
instead of oil color, and thinned with
mirrorine answers very well. If the
tints are not exactly what is required,
they can be modified with oil colors.
The whole of the design being filled
in with the various tints selected, the
ground has to be we'll covered with the
black varnish. Fill up all thin places,
as the varnish dries very quickly. 1t
can be retouched again and again with
out much delay.

Anent the visit 10 this city of r. Oshima
general manager OF the largest railway
system in Japan, the following may be
of interest: The fact that American To-
comotives have already made a record
for themselves in Japan has been widely
published and commented upon. 1t Is now
reported that in a recent test between
English and American locomotives the
Baldwin engine, made at Philadelphia,
pulled 20lia tons over the Yotemba hill and
did 1t with such ease that one of the ia
panese engineers offered to pull much
heavier load with a sister locomotive. In
fact, the American engine did finally haul
2S2 tons. exclusive of the weight of the
locomotive and tender, to within few
miles Of the top of the incline. The Eng
lish locomotive attempted to haul 200 tons
over the hill and failed, although led
on the most difficult part of the grade by
another engine. The English locomotive
next hauled train having one car less
over the hill, but with every particle OF
her power expended, the throttle wide
open, the reverse lever on the last notch
and 100 pounds of steam. The Baldwin en-
gine then hauled the same twenty ears
and two more added to the top Of the Yo.
temba grade and did 1t with 139 to 1iC
pounds of steam and the reverse lever on
the fifth notch" Mr.. Oshima was parti-
cuarly impressed with the Dickson loco
motives and 1t is possible that he will
negotiate for the trial of few. General
Manager Gender is anxious to put the
Scranton engines in competition in the
Japanese market, feeling confident that
they will hold their own against any
American and discount anything the
English shops turn out.
