From Mo ea.ette cnampaton, ~.

At the advanced age of eighty-fve years
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, ia one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is q pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMillen has fol
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he com
manded when he was young man..
He has little shop on North Wright street
in the vicinity of the University of Illinois
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account OF
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter
est in his case, and reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some Of her biggest
industries, especially that Of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of century Of FREQ hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts Of

this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and to
pat up fight for free hides. In reality
they will, if necessary, sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sug-

With ravenous vociferation these

more revenue, which means more
extravaganza and waste, but never

A Coast paper has report of an
interview with Senator Morgan,
wherein he is reported to have
said: Hawaii certainly is going
to be State, but whether it will
be at the time of annexation or
later remains to be seen. Should
it be annexed as a territory, the
Hawaiian commissioners would
recommend that the islands be
admitted to Statehood and a spe-
cia act of Congress would up-
doubtedly follow" This agrees
with the tenor of Senator Nor
gan's expressions while he was

An exchange has a paragraph
about the agency of city street
dust in spreading disease. 1t
says: while the use of water
settles the dust, it also converts it
into the most favorable sort of
culture ground for the develop
ment of all kinds of bacteria. Salt
water, il used, would remedy that
danger, and is the best possible
disinfectant for use in street
sprinkling, because all chemicals
are either too expensive or dan
gerous." One of The present local
medical officers years ago stated
to the writer his objections against
water on dirty streets. In his
opinion it caused in evaporation
the rising of noxious vap,rs load
ed with disease germs. Perhaps
the use OF salt water, as recon.
mended above, would greatly or
altogether prevent bad effects from
streetsprinkling. 1t is probably out
of court, the discussion of whether
to wet the streets or not. To
perish from malsrial effluvia
would likely be chosen as soon as
to be choked to death with hot
dust. Many one has wondered,
however, to see the water carts
fill up from the city's supply of
fresh water when it was scarce,

like idiots than maniacs, coursing

their wheels from them, together
with the privilege of riding a

There is no better oil stove
in the market than the justly
celebrated BLUE FLAME for
which we are agents. We have
recently imported a fresh lot of
these convenient stoves and
they contain two new improve
ments which add to their de-
STABILITY. One of these is a
regulating screw for the burn
ers and the other is a spring by
which the burners are brought
to the top of the stove when it
is desired to light them. These
stoves are absolutely the best
coal-oil stove in the market
and they are sold at areasonable
price.
In coal and wood stoves we
recommend the PANSY as be-
ing the best. We have it in all
sizes at prices to suit all purses.
STEEL Ranges for large ia
miles and restaurant use are a
speciality with US and we shall
