A Smash Up

Mr.. Paul Isenberg, this morning,
tied his horse which was attached
to a buggy to a hitchiug post on
King street near the Metropolitan
Meat Compsny's store.
While Mr. Isenberg was talking
to Mr.. Waller in the Office ri the
M. NJ @. a Chinamau backed his
carriage into Isenherg's vehicle and
scared the horse, which broke loose
and ran away.
The horse succeeded in getting
tangled up with hack 33, which was
capsized and considerably damaged
and then went for the law Office OF
Mr.. j. Q. Wood on the corner Of
Bethel and King streets, where he
got some wholesome legal advice
which stopped his mad prauks.
The driver Of No. 33, was consider
ably bruised and is looking for the
owner OF the "studious" horse.
Mr. Isenberg had the Chinaman
who backed in his rig arrested, but
no good charge could be found and
the monaghan was allowed to go.
The carriage manufacturers are
smiling as both vehicles were
damaged.

Bolt of the Organs.

The extent of the influence of the
Administration ON the Democratic
party may be estimated from the
fact that 1856 newspapers of that
political persuasion have bolted the
Chicago nominations. These boiling
papers are published in all sections
Of the country. The South, which
is generally represented as inclined
to free silver, leads with 43. The
Middle States are second with 81,
the West third with 81, the New
England States fourth with "a.

the most widely circulated and most
influential in the States in which
they are published.-S. f. Bulletin

This is hot weather, food
spelling weather, unless the pro-
per attention is given to refriger-
ator suggestions. There's all
sorts of devices for keeping food
fresh, good, bad or Indifferent.
Some of the named refrigerators
are no better than dry goods
boxes; the lining is not right
and the system of draught and
air circulation is defective.
In the United States there
were complaints against the
Quincy, complaints we had not
heard of here. When we were
at the Coast a few weeks ago, we
took the trouble to investigate
and learned that the objections
were all right, but they were
against the Quincy Challenge
refrigerator and not the Quincy
Cleanable.
We sell the Cleanable, were
appointed sole agents for the
Hawaiian Islands and we don't
sell any other. The Quincy
Cleanable is lined with mineral
wool, the greatest non-conductor
known to science; the Quincy
Challenge is lined with charcoal
and is cheap combination that
is unserviceable.
Foods are easily kept sweet
and appetizing with right re-
frigerator to help your Summer
health which is easier kept than
regdined. There are many re-
frigerators, some excellent ones
but none equal the Quincy
Cleanable. Profits are forgotten
when we sell them.

He then went outside where the

MORRISON'S BREAK
1T INcuns THE ENMITY OF THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.


Chicago Feb. "A local paper today
prints the following:
plans for the Democratic campaign
in Illinois have been twisted out of
shape and beyond recognition by Will
liam r. Morrison. Through his lieu
tenants. VIM S. Forsman and VIM. %.
Briton, Col Morrison sent word to the
Democratic state executive committee
that the free silver Idea must be re-
pudiated before they could use his
name with authority as the Democratic
organizations presidential candidate.
More than this, he insisted that the ma
tional delegates from Illinois must be
sound money Democrats
If the state organization Of which
Gov, Altgeld is the head, attempts to
send silver men to the national con-
vention. Col. Morrison gives notice that
he will come to Illinois in person to
lead the fight against the silver advo-
Gates.
THE members of the Democratic
state executive committee were dumb
when they were taken aside one by
one by Forsman or Briton and told of
Mr. Morrisons instructions Sunday
Mr.. Forsman was in communication
with Morrison. When the committee
met every member was Informed of
Col Morrlsons Views and they were
not mentioned in the meeting. al
though the committee took occasion to
give the presidential candidate slap
by repudiating the action of his chief
supporter, B. 4. Cabell.
"All the members of the committee
were present at the meeting while the
hotel was well nlled with prominent
| Democrats from all over the state.
| Chairman Hinrlchsen had been inform

| Dental candidate, presuming he would
not question the financial Views Of the
national delegates or tho plank in the
| state platform SO long as he had sup

"One Of Mr.. Morrisons friends said
after the meeting that the candidate

free silver movement he kept silent at
their request and raised no protest
