Word came down from Ely that an
other of the wounded men shot by
Traylor had died. This makes the
fourth dead man. From reliable source
we learn the members of the union
who went up to run Superintendent
Traylor out of his place, to give them
selves courage and be brave OOaded
themselves up with bug-juice, and
then started on their way to commit
the dastardly deed which they at
tempted and which resulted in the
death of four of the would-be heroes.
1t appears that the leader of the gang,
named Lloyd, took to his heels and es-
capped uninjured. The report that
great excitement exists at Ely is I'M
true. All the talk Of calling out mi
litia. ETC., all is bosh. The leaders
of the gang got a dose of their own
medicine, and don't want any more.

The Country Savers.

Rockford Star: The republican
'get together" has passed into
history as far as formalities of
the meeting are concerned and
the feature will be given over to reap
ing the benefits.
Aside from bringing a very fine
looking and well behaved assortment
of country-savers together the meet
ing afforded a brand of humor which
was especially enjoyable to those who
were in a position to appreciate the
flavor of it.
In the first place it was not called
in anyone's interest. No candidate
was to profit by it. When the hosts
from upper Illinois are lined up and
sworn in to act as one man no one is
to be given the preference. That is
according to the spirit of the meeting.
OF course if that man who is to rep
resent the unit favors Col. Lowden

HATED FLOWERS.

New H@ndyvoHlk Decoration For
 Gowns and Fancy Articles.
 Handwork of all kinds is at the height of popularity just now for dress trimming and for endless varieties Of fancy work. An entirely new idea, that tattied flowers done in various natu- rei colors, is suggested by the House keeper in connection with some original designs that have proved beautiful, in- expensive and most of them easy to make.
 Crochet cotton, buttonhole twist and sewing silk were used to make these flowers. Buttonhole twist proved to be the best for thick, fine centers and could be found in just the right shades. Crochet cotton for petals is just as eff fective as the more expensive knitting silk.
 The White Rose.-The center of this flower is made of yellow buttonhole twist. Two ds, one p, two ds; repeat until there are nine picots. Close ring; leave one-quarter inch of thread, one ds, one D. Repeat three more times; one ds, join to first picot in ring; four ds with one p between each; close, leave onequarter inch of thread, repeat thus all around ring, join and fasten thread.
 Forty ds, close, repeat seven times for first row of white petals; place an other row back of this, and still anoth- CT row if wanted very double. Do not break threads between each row; sim ply wind them around and sew in place.
 Wild Rose. Since most flowers have yellow centers, 1t is handler to have two shuttles and fill one with yellow, the other with pink. For the center have thread yard long; work one ds, one picot about one-fourth inch long; repeat this until the ring is about the size of a natural flower and draw up close. Exact number is not necessary in these centers. Work another row to fit around this, as that gives it a fuller center. Close and with needle and fine thread catch it together at the back. With needle filled with yellow or green ish yellow, put few long loops direct ly in center and cut them. For outside petals simply make very long picots, with one ds between each, until there are enough to it around the center. Separate these long picots into five

VIA R R BOWsER had been read HARN ing his evening paper for IA " M half an hour when he sud-
 denly looked up with the remark:
 Tt was all the mans fault. He ought to have had more dignity"
 ''What is it, dearT asked Mrs. Bow ser.
 "A citizen of Chicago was walking on the street when the boys began snowballing him. He lost his temper, and while trying to overtake one of the boys he fell down and broke his leg" ''The boys were very rude. One here on our street hit me with snowball the other day"
 'Then it was your own fault"
 'How ?'
 If you had maintained proper dig nifty, no boy on earth would have dared snowball you. I've been boy, and know how it is"
 ''I didn't suppose dignity had any thing to do with it,'' said Mrs. Bowser after silence.
 II presume not, but let me tell you it has everything. If that Chicago man had had any dignity about him, not
