He continued to grow worse and at last his condition became alarming, in which way it has continued several weeks. He hijd moved from his home on Eighth street to his old dairy farm on Alby street before his Illness. Joseph Luly was 45 year's of age and had lived in Alton and North Alton all his life.

For many years he was engaged ih a prosperous dairy business from which he retired a few years ago to engage in the grain anJ produce buslnesswith Peter Reyland at the Farmers' elevator which was recently incorporated as the Electric Roller Milling Company.

Here is a suggestion for other horse owners. Of course styles differ and you can buy linen pants for your norse if you want to. The man belpw secured his object with overall stuff. Several persons Monday saw a mule team pulling a heavy wagon along the streets, driver was evidently a humane man. Posed at the proper angle on the heads of both animals were straw bonnets of the latest variety, but the improved dress of one mule otherwise was good to say the least.

As is generally known some horses are. greatly annoyed by flies biting their front legs. The mule in question must have been seriously affected in this manner for his fore extremities were nicely covered by a pair of blue overalls from which the seat had been cut. Mr. Mule ambled along with his pants flopping like those of a farm hand out in a hay field on a windy day.

The effect caused by the straw hat and the pants caused almost every man on the street to stop and relieve of some choice wit, The sight was really humorous. Alton's Delegation. Philip A. Deterdlng received a letter Sunday from his father, J. E.

On Louisiana Purchase day steamboat excursions will be run to Alton and the railroads will give special rates. Alton business men are taking hold of the Jubilee withjenthusiasm and they are giving their time ungrudgingly. The interest manifested in the Jubilee daring the prevailing hot weather is remarkable and it shows that Alton business men are of a mind to make a success of it. Everyone is interested regardless of sectional differences and there is no disposition among the workers to allow any political or other differences to intervene. All men are working together and it is a pleasing sight in Alton as it is every where else.

TOO Hot To Work. "When it is too hot for honey bees to work you may know it is almost too hot for any one else to try lt remarks an Upper Alton gentleman who has a number of stands of bees.

He says no honey was made last week, and none is being made this week. There is plenty of clover and lots of flowers, wild and otherwise, he says, but rather than stand tht, sun the bees lay iu Irout of their hives rusting on the shady sides.

Irl R. Hicks said yesterday that he did not see much relief iu sight from the present hot wave until July 25, when (storms and nail may bn looked for, followed by cooler weather. Both the Mercury and Vulcan periods are central, he says, on the 20th, this date being also within a few days of the center of the Venus period. In all probability, said the editor of Word and WorKs, July 25 to 29 will constitute a most severe storm period. The barometer will prove a safe monitor at this time.

If its readings become greatly impressed in Western sections, with warm southerly winds in front of the low barometric area, all storm developments should be watched. Those who have no barometers, says Dr. Hicks, may easily determine whether conditions are favorable for severe storms, and by a common-sense vigilance escape all surprise and much danger in case of cyclones and other violent storms. Heavy gales, thunder, hail and local downpours of rain, he says, may be looked for from tbe 25th to the 29th. A general and rapid changa to much cooler weather will take place at this period.

It is quite probable that severe summer storms will be in progress as August rolls in. 111 West Third street MALARIA, Chills and Fever, Intermitting and remitting Fevers cured by CUBKS WHEBJ5 OTHER BEMKDIKS MadlSon, May 1st, Messrs.
