some unfortunate chance remark that

that must necessarily suggest the one

1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention Of the trade. aud private fam
lies, to the fact that owing to the In
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter of undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited In an Inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of a harmful or deleteri-
GUS nature, and at a price that would
commend its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at 4 much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market. no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables US
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty of their purity and quality.

that Will Hendrix was convicted at the

That Artesian Wei, Matter.

1t is well to bear i'll mind the question
of the artesian well and waterworks.
The matter should be kept constantly
before the public: The Importance and
the necessity of never-failing supply of
pure and healthful water cannot be over
estimated Artcsian wells in the Delta
have proven success, and many towns
are now enloying this great blessing.
Rosedalc must also have q well, and II
cannot come too soon. The hot, dry
summer months are not far off-the sea-
son when water will be luxury. And
also, rs protection against fire should
it be in abundance. TO 4 scarcity OF
water is due the recent disastrous blaze,
and a repetition is to be feared unless
means are prepared to guard against it.
1t will be remembered that during the
past year bonds were voted for the pur
pose of sinking an aitesian well and put
ting in a system Of waterworks. Bids
were received; but, before the bonds
were issued, it was discovered that the
town had no authority to do so, unless
empowered by special act OF the legis-
lature. Therefore, the matter was de-
ferred. Now, the legislature is in session
and prompt steps should be taken to
have the necessary act passed, so that
the bonds may be issued and contracts
let at an early date as possible. NO time
should be lost. We should have the well
in operation before the summer months,
The health of the community and the
safety of the town from fire demand inn
mediate action, and we feel assured that
the city council will act promptly in the
premises.

TIE New Levee Commissioner.

DR.. ]. c. Brooks has just been appoint
ed the Levee Commissioner from this
county, to succeed Mr.. Fred Clark at the
expiration OF his term, in July next.
This ends spirited and somewhat bit
ter contest that has attracted more OF
less Of the county's attention for some
weeks past. Messrs. Reneeh and slllers
cba,nnioacd the Brooks ticket, with
Niessrs. Moore and Clark as leaders of
the opposition. The Demo crat was
merely "a looker-on i'll Vienna but vas
a prophet "before the fact' in foretelling
the result Mr.. Clark is one Of the lead
ing LAWYERS in the county; man OF edu-
cation and ability, and, with the excep-
ton of one or two errors of judgement,
has made a good commissioner. His
successor is large planter, and pros
Sperous business man, and We believe will
sfso make an acceptable commissioner,
n he exercises his own good judgement,
which he will doubtless do. The public
interest, therefore, will not suffer materi-
ally from the change, and the bitterness
of spirit cngendered by the recent strife
will in time die away. So far as our State
Senator. .thc Hon E. H. Moore, is coll
ce1ned, he has in all probability become
accustomed by this time to letting others
control the appointments in his county
so he is well prepared, wepresumc, to ac-
cept the Reinach- -Sillers victory as mat
ter of course.
