A sad ending of the enjoyable and
successful Fourth of July celebration
in this city was the total destruction
of one of our popular dry goods stores
owned by j. A. Mellotte while the
! last act of the program was being car
ried out bv the young people in full
whirl of the dance. The dreaded
sound of fire broke the stiffness of the
night. The whole town turned out;
the dancing was brought to an end
and all gathered around the fire and
sadly gazed upon the devouring flames
unable to STAY the destructive ele-
ment. There was nothing to do but
watch thousands of dollars worth of
property go up in smoke. For time
| it looked as if the whole town was
doomed but the wind being from the
the north the fire did no other dam
age, and the people while SympathiZ-
| ing with Mr.. Mellotte, are thankful
that their town is still in existence.
| The spectacle was fascinating in its
awful grandeur. This Fourth will
| long be remembered by the people
| who witnessed the closing display of
! fireworks not on the program. The
! fire was discovered in the oil house,
/ the origin of which is unknown. The
loss will amount to about $13, 800

Winfield, Ill. 1.-The only medicine /

trusts will be the beneficiaries to the
amount of over $50, 900, 900. ITO
|gether," the Tribune states, "these
trusts will get over nine-tenths of the
sum total to be RENTED. The part
of the community which is outside of
these two trusts will get rather less
than one-tenth-" Continuing, it says:
cit is not to be wondered at that
this misbegotten, misshappen scheme
for revenue reduction has awakened
the Indignation of the house, and that
threats are made that this time at
least the senate is not to be permitted
to have its own way. 1t is to be
hoped that the house will be firm and
will not let the senate prescribe to it
the mode of revising the revenue sys-
tenn. The senate is usurping one of
the prerogatives of the house and is
doing so to work harm, not good.
1.-The taxes which the senate is so
anxious to reduce are felt by trusts,
but not by consumers. Should the
senate carry it's point, the working
men will not get cheaper beer or to-
bacco. The taxes which it is pro-
posed to tamper with are easily and
cigars and manufactured tobacco had
been lowered too much prior to 1898.
and their increase was eminently
proper under any circumstances.
The beer and tobacco revenue which
the senate wishes to throw away will
be needed to meet the demands
of that congressional extravaganza
which knows no limits. The customs
duties may bring in soon less reve-
nue. than they do now and can not be
expected to yield more revenue.
'fThe proceeds of internal revenue
taxes will have to be depended upon
to run the government. The house,
acting on behalf of the people, should
defeat this scheme to weaken the
treasury by taking off taxes which
will have to be reimposed few years
hence when two billion congresses
succeed billion and a half congresses. :"

THERE are heroines in real life as
well as in the novel and in the drama.
The New York journal tells why two
of them merit the title. A woman in
Wilkesbarre worked for weeks in a
coal breaker. dressed as boy, to sup
port her children and her sick hus-
band. She worked nine hours q
day for 65 cents. Her fingers were
cut and bruised by the tum bling coal.
but she kept on until she was found
out and discharged. On the same day
on which this discovery was made q
woman in Bridgeport died two hours
before her daughter, for whose sake
she had worked herself to death.

TRUSTS THE sENEFICIAK1Es.

The boldness of the present con-
gress is calling down the wrath of the
press. of the pulpit and of the people.
The "plain people" have asked plain
dealings and justice and now realize
that they are being duped, deceived
and discarded entirely. When congress
convened an appeal came from the
masses for a reduction of the burden
some war taxes, and asked for reduc-
tions on those commodities which
find their way into their homes, and
reductions which would tighten the
burden of oppression they so long
have had to bear.
Pursuant to this appeal, congress
did take action and is now cuntinuing
such action, but is only enhancing the
Indignation and distress of the people
by removing taxes where no demand
from the plain people for such re-
moval is made and by falling to re-
move taxes which do Cypress and Of
fend the people, the removal of which
is so urgently demanded.
That staunch republican paper, the
Chicago Tribune, speaking editorially.
SAYS: 1.-The reduction of the war
taxes of 1898 shows that it is bill for
the benefit of the beer trugt and the
tobacco trust 1t speaks of the sub
stitute for the house bill now in the
hands of the conference committee of
the senate, and states that the meas
ure suggests the remittance of taxes

MEMORIAL TO WILLIAM L. WILSON.

In view of the great public service,
the broad patriotism, and the beauti-
full traits of character which adorned
the life of the late William L. Wilson,
his friends throughout the union have
determined to erect to his memory q
memorial worthy of his life and char
acter. In determining the form that
such memorial should take they have
been greatly influenced by the follow
ing facts:
When Mr.. Wilson was elected pres
ident of Washington and Lee univer-
sity, in the year 1879, he found that
there was no chair of economics in
the university, and upon examination
found that there was no such distinct
chair in any southern university. His
public life had shown him the i'm
portance of intoxicating in the minds
of the young men of the country
sound financial and economic views.
So impressed was he with this
thought that out of his own meagre
salary he established and largely. sup
ported chair of economics, the funds
of the university not permitting of
such expenditure. His friends have
therefore concluded that no more fit
ting and enduring monument can be
erected to his memory than the en-
dowment of the chair of economics
which he himself established, and for
several years maintained, in the uni
versity, to be known as the William
l.. Wilson chair of economies; and
that the memorial may be worthy
of the man in whose honor it
is erected. and that the services of the
highest scholarship may be secured in
carrying out his purpose, they have
been impressed with the propriety
and Importance of raising at least
100000 for this purpose. A COM
mittee has been selected to take
charge of and prosecute the work to a
completion, and it earnestly appeals
to the friends of education throughout
the union, as well as TO MIR. Wilson'S
personal friends and to those who
honor and exslt personal virtue and
patriotism, to aid in effecting the de-
sired result. The committee is COM
posed of:
Grover Cleveland, chairman; Abra- |
ham S. Hewitt, George Foster Pea
body, 1sidor Straus, Robert Fulton |
Cutting, John G. Carlisle, James C.
Carter, Oswald Garrison Willard, Hor-
ace White, Herbert Welsh.
Between SIS, 600 and $50, 900 have |
already been subscribed to this fund. |

WRITES HIS OWN SERMONS.
Rev. Frank O. Bruner Clears Chief Kip
Iey's Stenographer.

Rev. Frank O. Bruner Clears Chief Kip
ley's Stenographer.
Rev. Frank G. Bruner, formerly of
Edgington township, and who has
number of relatives and friends in
Rock Island county. is prominent in
the news features of today's Chicago
papers, because OF visit he made to
the city hall to enter denial of re-
port that Thomas Lamble, steno-
grapher for Chief of Police Ripley,
was the author of a sermon entitled
"Sodom and Gomorrah," in which
the Harrison administration was Sc
verely arraigned, and which was re-
Gently delivered by Rev. Bruner in
his pulpit in Englewood. Lamble's
salary has been reduced 500 a year,
it is alleged, because it was believed
by the administration that he wrote
the sermon. Mr.. Bruner was unable
to see Mayor Harrison personally, but
he left a note to him generating
Lamble and assuming the entire
responsibility for the utterances
himself. Mr.. Bruner also asked that
Lamble's old salary be restored.
If Rev. Bruner had any hope of a
regeneration in the city hall it de-
parted after he prepared to leave. A
precious bundle of sermons which he
had brought as evidence was missing
from the desk where he had left them.
A diligent search was made in the
desks near by, but to no purpose.
The divine declared that they were
the only copies extant and that he
would be put to great trouble unless
they were secured.
"Well, no matter" he finally said,
''if the man or woman who took my
sermons will only read them and
profit by the lesson they contain | will
be amply rewarded"

DO Not Drink whiIe Eating.

Liquids at meals If taken too often or
too carelessly are liable to dilute the
gastric juices. Take no liquid of any
kind when food is in the mouth. Take
as little as possible till the close of the
meal. The digestive agents themselves
being fluids, it is reasonable to suppose
that an excess of liquids taken with
