AN INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.
Citizens Of Rockford, Illsy Are Reaoki,
ifNs,k Fk.s,, vi 81

O0f1zenS Of ROCKFORD, Ills, Are Re0OkinR
Out Aftor New Industries.
There are many towns il this, broad
land that might prodtably follow, the
example: of the citizens of Rockford.
who have formed an association with
the commendable object Of the perma-5
nent advancement Of the towns bust
ness. The Chicago Times Herald thus
describes the plan Of operation: a% ISL
New life has been infused into this
eity by the organization Of the Rockford
Industrial association, in which all
business men and citizens II general are
interested, and through which it is pro-
posed to secure the location here Of (
number Of. new industries during the
coming year. Captain John Il. sherratt,
under whose term as mayor the city
forged ahead and made many improve
ments, including the pavement Of sever
al important streets with cedar blocks
and tie construction Of the big girder
bridge across the river, is the chairman
OF the new association, and Walter A
Airs, progressive young business man,
is the secretary. A treasurer is still TO
be chosen. The plan on which the in
dustrial association is organized pro-
vides for membership initiation tee
Of IS, and the signatures Of q large num-
Der have already been secured by the
committees now soliciting in each ward.
The association has an executive com
mittee composed Of the president and
secretary and the chairman of the Eve
standing committees, those ON finance,
industry and transportation, advertis-
ing, home markets and entertainment,
It is not intended to stimulate or en-
courage any fictitious boom, but the
members will labor early and late for
the solid advancement of Rockford. F*s
Like all other manufacturing oenters
during the period of depression for the
past few years, this city has been quiet,
and two or three Of the smaller indus
trial concerns have been forced to tho
wall, leaving vacant factory buildings
in the outskirts. The first aim Of the a.
ISOLATION will be to encourage and foster
the concerns that are already here and
to all up whatever unoccupied buildings
there are. : ~.
The country will also be flooded with
thousands Of neatly printed pamphlets,
descriptive Of the advantages offered by
the forest city to industrial concerns In
the east seeking new location, Of which
there are hundreds. Another feature
which the association intends to look
after is the proper celebration Of allhoN-
days hereafter on a magnificent scale In
Rockford They have been neglected in
the past, and people from neighboring
towns and cities have been allowed to
go elsewhere to- have good time and
buy whatever merchandise they needed
ON the trip. It amounts to much In the
course Of year, and Rockford business
men are beginning to realize this point.
In fact, the industrial association Is 70
ing to lend . helping hand to anything
that will tend to the upbuilding of Rock
ford, in which everybody has taken deep
interest. {. -.:..=s :

UNLucky 70 SAVE FROM DROWNING.
Some Queer Supcrstitions Of People the
.j. World Over.

NomO queer 1upofot100n0 Ok EOcplo the
World Over.
Il seems strange that swimmers
should be superstitians. yet it is so. nor
"a it alone the small boy who sees his
companion sinking into watery grave
without attempting to rescue him,
whether he sank because he was not an
expert and got beyond his depth, or
whether he was seized with cramps. It
seems ridiculous to think of, and no
doubt it will save many q superstitious
person from risking his own neck by
being dragged under by the weight and
struggles Of drowning person to know
1t is counted unluoV and worse than
madness to try to save the life of a
drowning person or to zesuseitate him,
as sooner or later he is bound to do you
some mean turn.
1t is another one OF those old super
stitions handed down from generation
to generation from our European ances-
TORS, and Of which no one knows the der
ivation. Traces Of it are found among
the Sioux and other tribes Of the Indians
of the west, who seem to have inherited
that belief from their forefathers along
with SO many other quaint things. They
still believe. and it's q part Of their
creed, that in hunting the body Of a
drowned person you can discover its
resting place by floating chip Of cedar
wood, which will stop, even in the
strongest current, and turn around over
the exact spot.
In Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue drowning person is
most prevalent in Cornwall and various
parts Of Scotland: The French sailor
and the boatman Of the Danube bow tt
the decree, together with the Russians,
and let the people drown.
Or. Taylor, in his primitive Gull
ture," declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water
spirit ia angry at being despoiled Of its
victim, and sbould the unluoky person
: who has dared to Illustrate him trust
himself to the waters power he will
drown as sure az fate.
The Bohemian fisherman shrinks'
from snatching drowning man from
the waters, fearing the water demon
will take away his luck In fishing and
drown him before he gets to shore with
the would be victim. In Germany,
when some one is drowned, they say,
"The river spirit claims his yearly sac
rifice," or, The Nix has taken him.
The belief is current not alone in
those countries above mentioned, but
the Kamchatkans, rather than help q
man out Ut the water, would force him
under, and il he should escape to the
shore no one would dare receive him
into his house or dare to give him food.
He is supposed to be dead after once
falling into the water.

paramount issue with us locally ii

paramount issue with us locally is economy in county affairs.
 That economy has been practiced by the last Board of Supervisors no one can doubt, and we want a continuation of the same klnd of economy, only we ask for little more economy.
 It is fact, deplorable one. too, that we owe bonds to the amount of $50,0O0. drawing interest annually. These bonds have to be paid, $5 900 in in 1897 and 900 annually thereafter for ten years. This is a large amount of money to be be paid by poor people. Now, that we may meet these obllga tions as they become due. that our honor may be maintained, it is the duty of every voter to see that his vote IS cast for the officers whom he knows will labor to this end.
 Good citizenship means careful off, cers, low taxes and consented people.
 Citizens, study these questions, pro- claim your choice of candidates at the polls fearIessIy and intelligently, and the result no one can doubt. Vote for the men who have the power and in- clination to carry out these desires.

"WITCH OF SALEM D
ProphesieS Bryan's Election
 She Is Never Wrong.

 A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer from North Tonowanda, New York, says:
 "At midnight last mght Mme. Mill moth, the witch of Salem, predicte that William J. Bryan would be the next president of the United States. For sixteen years the madame has pre- dlcted the result of the presidential elections several weeks, sometimes months before polling day. Not once, according to newspaper clippings. has she failed to choose the winner. She predicted Garfield's assassination some time before It occurred. At City Point, South Boston. July II, 1884, in the pres- ence of 12,OO0 people, she predicted Clevelsnd's election. In 1884 she told of Harrison's success, and in 1892 pro- phesied Growers second term. Last night, in the presence of group of re- porters at 292 Oliver street, she pre- dicted. d.Bryan's election, so Mark Hanna and the rest of the Republican cam pslgners had az well throw up the sponge.
 "The oracle hath spoken and she speaketh not with crooked tongue. h. terrogated, the madam passed her hand over her eyes, contracted her brow and with mighty mental effort, proceeded thusly: Yes, MT. Bryan will win, but the election will be close. MT. McKin- ley can not win, but; even if he did, his time in the presidential chair would be short. He has not long to live
 "How about the vice presidency ?" asked the News man.
 ''Sewall will win. but Hobart will be ahead of Watson. The latter will be far in the rear," said the madam.
 "Has Bryan any chance to carry New York state ?" "His chances of doing so are good"
 'WilI Mckinley carry Ohio?" was the next question. At the answer one Republican report CT turned pale aud nearly fell of his char. Clear and stern came the reply: No, sir; he will not" "How's Nebraska going 2" "For Bryan, sure." "Will Sewall carry Maine ?" "He will not" "Has Bryan any chances to carry any 1 of the New England states ?'' He will carry two of them, but I can not name them"
 "Will any national disaster follow tho election of Brvsn?"
 "None. Times will improve"
 Then the boys braced up and sorrow fully wended their way homeward while from out the distance came the hoarse cali of night bird, replying, It seemed to the mental inquiry, "is there no chance of Republican snccess?" in the af Edgar Allen Poe's ominous raven, "Nevermore, nevermore."

Weather Review.

The temperature of Arizona was be- low normal and the rainfall above, two conditions decidedly favorable for crop vegetation, as the sunshine was below the normal also. There was no county that did not reach above the normal rainfall, and as rule the excess was considerable.
 Farm work is limited to irrigating, having and curing grapes; on the des- CT: wild hay making is the rule in all sections, and in the orchards the citrus fruits are absorbing entire attention.
 The farm IS now in excellent condi- ton, as there has been plentiful SUD- ply of water, Tn which is held in solu- tion kumus, potash and other fertiIiz- ing ingredients, while the water carries with it virgin soil from the mountains, all of which supply the essential ingre- dients which make the valleys of Ari- zona the most fertile III the world, and furnish another instance similar to the far-famed valley of the Nile.
 In the vineyards curing grapes is go- ing on actively, and all correspondents Tn the southern and central sections re- port very favorable returns, in spite of the damage by the recent rains.
 The grass on the ranges is still being cut, more especially in the central and

northern counties, and as the supply is very abundant and ofexcellent quality there will he more hay made this year than In any ten years past. and still there will be enough grass for stock un. til late in the winter; the abundant supply is having its effect upon the valley pasturage, as the feeders" have fallen off to remarkable extent, and many feeders" have been withdrawn and taken back to the ranges. All things point to very prosperous year for cattletnen and the fall shipments will without doubt be heavy.
 The citrus orchards never looked more promising. Oranges are looking we'll, are of good color. and the trees are loaded down, with very few dropa ping. Lemons are looking remarkably we'll, are we'll advanced for the season and the trees contain all that they will bear, with very few dropping. Grape fruit are of good color and the trees are we'll hlled. The plentiful supply of water during the 1astthree months has kept the trees in fine condition and the percentage of sunshine has not been SO excessive as to have an injurious effect,
 Cattle are fat and strong, there being an abundant supply of feed and water and the prospect for the fall and winter is very fattering.
