If the Governor of Illinois wero counsel for the anarchists he could not have acted more positively in their defense than he did in ho attack upon Judge and jury in lis long speech when he reprieved them.

Now everybody is rushing to the -'streets of Cairo" they want to blush, and blush right quick. Ono of tho ridiculous features of tho Midway Plaisance is the music of Persia, Turkey, Egypt, Samoa and China. Tho idea of calling such infernal discord music is tho straw that breaks argument. If that thumping and whanging is music, pray define discord. Some people have an idea that the Columbian Guards aro 'D-a-a men; mat tncy iced em raw meat and gunpowder threo times each day to make 'em still more ferocious. This is a niistak on idea, xue j. vr. 's are very usotul people, and. they impart information cheerfully and satis faetorily. It is wonderful how those bare-legged and "uncovered chest ed" heathen can stand tho lake winds without wincing. . And what loads those sedan chair bearers can waddlo under! It is marvelous.

Since the death of Senator Stanford there is considerable speculation as to tho courso Mrs. Standford will pursue in tho management of tho University dedicated to her son.

Mrs. Mary Galloway, mother of Mrs. Jas. Karsell, died on Thursday night of last week, at the residence of her daughter on North College Avenue, after a protracted illness, in hor 82d year. The funeral occurred on' Friday, Rev. S. R. Lyons officiating. The cloven head of cattle killed by lightning near Dudley, west of town, were the property of Messrs. Brandon & Smith. The cattle were dehorned, and so "bunched up" closely under tho tree. There were nineteen head, and of this number 11 were killed. Tho wheat crop of Monroe county is a wonderful one, oats is uncommonly line, and the corn is healthy and in good condition. Tho crops of the United States will do much to avert financial troubles this fall notwithstanding the fact that prices arc very low. Up to Friday last W. J. Al len had sold thirty-three binders and mowers. Joo Allen is a hust ler when it comes to selling, ma chinery and ho mado many of the sales himself.

World: Georgo Langley, his mother 78 years old, and his sister, Mrs. Elias Smith, all of Tabor, wero in a wreck on Tabor bill, and the mothor and sister wore hurt. They wero in a onehorso spring wagon and as they wore descending tho steepest part of tho hill and when near tho top. some part of the harness broke, and horse, wagon and women all went over into a hollow fifteen foot deep. Goorgo seeing tho danger to which they were exposed jumped out to make an effort to save his mother and sister, but was too late to prevent them from going over. There was a fence between the road and tho hollow, the fence rails falling over grandma Langley, who was lying in a depression in the earth, prevented her from being crushed to death by tho horse. Mrs. Smith's internal injuries are piite serious and inflammation is feared. This makes tho wor. 1 i-e iims vrock there within a veui.
