The schools of Illinois cost the people
$11,549,000 or over $14 for each of the
778,819 children enrolled, this is twenty
four times as much as the total tax of
the state of Oregon, yet Illinois is so
wealthy that this sum is raised on a very
small tax.
We still hear f the unknown disease
prevailing among horses and cattle in
Sherman county. A good many have
died and many are sick. So far
remedy has not been discovered. It
would be well for the state veterinary
surgeon to look into the cause and see
what can be done to abate the disease,
The week of prayer began last week
at the Congregational church in this
city, proved so interesting and profitable
that it has been continued and will be
extended through the entire present
week. The meetings are doing a great
deal of good. To-night the topic will be
taken from Hebrew 11 : 40.
Ad. Kellar's saloon was burglarized
last night, the bold bad burglar taking a
bottle or two of whisky and a box of
cigars. He also pried open the cash
register, getting about four dollars in
change for his trouble. It looks as if
the town had been tackled by a gang
of petty thieves as nearly every night
some petty offence is committed.

work at the reservoir is progressing
rapidly, twenty-five men, and ten teams
' being at work steadily. Two tons of
giant powder have been sent for and
this will facilitate the work, which is
eomewhat more difficult than was at first
supposed. The earth to be removed is
f the cement order, tough as leather
and extremely hard to handle. The
giant powder will loosen it up, but even
this eannot get in its. work as it does on
rock. When the powder arrives if the
weather will permit, . a . much larger
force of men will be put . to work, and
they will be hired here if possible.
The Hyer Sister.
The Hyer sisters played last, night to a
fair audience. ; The "Blackville Twins,"
is of ; decidedly small merit, and large
caliber. It was as weak a framework as
ever supported a gauzy production of the
variety style. The singing was excellent,
and this alone made the evening an enjoy
able one. The small boy was in his ele
ment when the chestr.utty portion of the
entertainment was on, and encored so
often, and so long that the audience be
came a little 'weary, but the singing be
tween the fourth and fifth acts, rewarded
the patience of those who waited un
necessarily long to hear it. We take
pleasure in commending the Hyer sisters
to our exchanges as giving an entertain
ment far above the average.
An Eloquent Tribute.
It is related of Emory Storrs that
when taunted for his abstemiousness by
his friends saying: "What is there in
water? You can say nothing for it,"
he pronounced the following eulogy on
water : "How do you expect to improve
on the beverage furnished by nature?
Here it is Adam's ale about the only
gift from the garden of Eden. Nature's
common carrier, not created in the rot
teness of fermentation, not distilled over
hres. V irtues and not vices are its com
panions. Does it cause drunkenness,
disease, death, cruelty to women and
children? Will it place rags on the person,
mortgages on the stock, farm and furni
ture? Will it consume wages and income
or advance and ruin men in business?
No! But it floats in white, gossamer
clouds far up in the quiet, summer sky,

hiiu novers in ureamy iumt uvcr tuc dui
faces of all our sparkling lakes. It veils
the woods and hills of earth's landscapes
in a purple haze, where film lights and
shadows dritt hour alter hour, it piles
itself in tumbled masses of clouds, domes
and thunderheads, draws the electric
flash from its mysterious hiding places,
and seams and shock the wide air with
vivid lines of fire. It is carried by the
winds and falls in rustling curtains of
liquid drapery over all the tliirsty woods
and fields, and fires in God's mystic
eastern "eavens His beautiful bow of
promises, glorified with a radiance that
seems reflected out ot heaven itseit. it
gleams in the frostcrvstals of the moun
tain tops and the dews of the valleys.
It silently creeps up to each leal m the
myriad forests of the world and tints
each fruit and flower. It is here in the
grass blades of the meadows and there
where the corn waves its tassels and the
wheat is billowing. It gems the depths
of the desert with the glad, green, oasis,
winds in oceans round the whole earth,
and roar its coarse, eternal anthems on a
hundred thousand miles of coast. It
clasps its hand in the flashing wave crests
of the sea, laughs in the little rapids of
the brooks, kisses the dripping,, moss-
covered, old oaken well bucket in a
countless host of happy homes."
A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called
away from home for a few days ; during
his absence one of the children contracted
a severe cold and his wife bought a bot
tle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedv for
it. They were so much pleased with the
remedy that they afterwards used several
bottles at various times. He said, from
his experience with it, he regarded it as
the most reliable preparation in use for
colds and that it came the nearest being
a specihe of any medicine he had ever
seen. For sale bv Snipes & Kinersly.
A worn about the schools, it is a
mistake to teach children a little cf
everything and nothing thoroughly.
About all education can do for man or
boy is to set him to thinking for him
self. The germ of originality in the
individual needs cultivation, needs stim
ulant. The head crammed with other
people s ideas lias little- room for its
own thought. Many a boy is so thor
oughly schooled that the common sence,
the will power, the selt-reliant man
hood, is driven out of him. A load
of facts with no education in their use
is of little value. The most successful
business men in our cities are those
whose scanty education embraced thor
ough knowledge of simple rules and
-studies, but whose necessities have
since demanded vigorous thought in-
incessant industry and tne Dest use or
every resource of mind and body.
The hotbed system of eeccation en

If the lights in your dressing-room
are so arranged that you cannot see

wave, puff and love-lock will stand out
against it like a white cloud in a blue

Mrs. John Sherwood, a literary and
society woman of New York, recom
monds a cab ride over cobble-stones on
Fifth avenue for liver complaint.
There is something better for liver com
plaint than that; it is a lively horse
back ride through country air that is
riotous with the perfume of wild flow
ers and the breath of spicy woods.
An American thief who got safely
to Buenos Ayres with his boodle asked
a messenger one day to do an errand
for. him, and the half-clad, half-starved
native, who never had ten dollars in
his life drew himself up and repled: "Not
for you, sir. . You are a runaway
theif while I am an honest man."
In Paris one must allow one's cook to
do the Jmarketing, says Lucy Hooper.
She gets her percentage on every article
that she purchases, and, if called upon to
relinquish these recognized perquisites,
she will incontinently take her departure.
From this it,would appear that American
housekeepers are not. the only ones who
have not yet had the servant question
answered to their satisfaction. .

':.;th Popular Cosmos Flower.
The cosmos flower, -which has come to
be all the rage here this fall, has an in
teresting history, which Mr. Rrn, the
florist, related. It is indigenous to Mex
ico, where it grows -wild in the fields like
the daisy in this climate. Some four
years ago a German florist in Hoboken,
N. J., propagated some of the plants
from imported seeds and introduced the
flowers in JTew York. Then the plant
appeared in the Soldiers' home gardens
at Hampton, near Fortress Monroe,
-where it was found that it would bloom
as late as January and February, on ac
count of the milder climate. A gentle
man near Alexandria, Va., then secured
a quantity of the seed and began to grow
the plant for the market, meeting -with
such success that he has now several
acres covered with the cosmos blooms,
and be ships immense quantities to New
York daily. .
Mr. Small sacs that the plant cannot
be grown with great success farther
north than this city, as it succumbs to
the first frost. This is the first year that
it has become common, but just now
great branches of it adorn the windows
of each florist's establishment, and can
be bought cheaply in the market or of
the boys on the street. The flower
makes a pretty interior decoration, or it
will keep fresh for four or five days if
placed in a vase of water immediately
after it is cut. The white blossoms are
the handsomest, resembling a narcissus
in their white petals and gold hearts,
but there are other tints that are highly
prized. The cosmos is apt to be as pop
ular ere long as the chrysanthemum, al
though florists will always prefer the
latter. Washington Post.
The Cue Bu Gone.
The really high caste London swell
has "cursed his stick and cast it out."
Swagger Englishmen no longer appear
in public with canes of any description.
The collection of choice silver topped
and natural wood weapons they drew
mental sustenance from through so many
seasons has suffered a temporary divorce
from the fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, and goes empty
handed on the promenade save for a
glove possibly, or in stress of , weather a
medium sized silk umbrella.
The collapse of the stick is attributable
to the wholesale adoption of imitation
costly canes by the London clerk and
petty tradesman.
'Arry, the haberdasher, greengrocer
and draper men were contented until re
cently to carry blackthorns or a light
rattan. To this no objection was raised
by the aristocrats, and all would have
gone well had not a sharp American
flooded the market with cheap, flashy
copies of swelldom's own stick. The re
sult was intolerable, and hence the uni
versal renunciation of canes in upper
circles. Illustrated American.
To Winter in tne Arctic
Three vessels from San Francisco are
now in winter quarters at the month of
the Mackenkie river, within 1,200 miles
of the north pole. This is said to be the
first time that whaling vessels have vol
untarily wintered in this location. The
colony comprises - nearly seventy men.
It will be late next summer before they
can be heard from, unless by some chance
a trapper might find his way that far
north by sledges and back again to a
British fur trading post. Provisions in
the way of fish and game will be pro
cured from the Indians who have vil
lages close by. The vessels are the
steamers Grampus and Mary D. Hume
and the schooner Nicolene. Alluring
stories of bowhead whales being so thick
in the water that you could walk about
on their backs as on broken ice led the
vessels to their present location. San

There is a small herd of buffalo on
what is known as the Bed desert, not
many miles from Laramie, Wyo. A
party of hunters recently returned from
there and report having seen fifteen.
Daring their trip they captured two
with a lasso, but both of them died, it is
said, from the effects of the choking they
received. One of them was taken after
a chase of two days. ' Mr. J. C Bobbins
was at the head of the party, and. hU
purpose in capturing them alive was to
add them to a private collection of the
wild animals of the Rocky mountains.
which he intends exhibiting at the
World's fair 'at Chicago. He left three
hunters in the hills near the desert for
the purpose of capturing other animals.

-A Queer Duck at Great Dunk Island.
On Sept. 12 a colored individual, who
gave his name as "Joe" Hopkins, came
ashore in a fourteen foot dory on Little
Duck island. Members of the lighthouse
department offered to take him to the
mainland, but he declined, and since
that time has lived on the island. Little
Duck is entirely devoid of vegetable
growth, and Hopkins has subsisted en
tirely on mussels. To procure these he
has been obliged to wade up to his waist
in water. He still refuses to go to- the
mainland, but desires a new boat. He
claims that he is en route for Africa,
having started from Nova Scotia. Cor

It's Way Politicians Have. .
A lady of this city who has 'been read

though I think it is rather undignified.
But what puzzles me is why everybody
should refer to Mr. McKinley as McKin-
