The Monroe Sentinel says: It is expected that trains will be running from Chicago to Monroe via the now route by the 15th of September.

One of tho boys spied a seat with only one passenger in nnd that person happened to bo a very pretty young lady from Lena.

The young man wanted that seat very bad, but did not have nerve enough to ask the young lady if he could sit, side of her. One of the boys took pity on him and asked the young lady if she would share her seat will a cripple. She said she would. Ho then beckoned to the young iran who longed for the seat and ho come forward limping and took the coveted position. His lameness is not serious, however.

KICKED TO DEATH. KUAB GOOD, A WELT, KNOWN KAHMBH OF SHANNON TOWNSHIP, KIC'KKD TO DKATH UY A IIOH8IO. Yesteiday forenoon Mr. Ellas Good, of Sliiinnon Township, Carroll County, WJIH working in the field with tvtenin of horses, one of them being stallion. Ho camo to the btirn at rtoon and fed thorn, and he was passing behind the stiilllon it became frightened and lot fly with both feet, Htriking Mr.

Good on the back of his head; in fact, the animal literally kicked the back of his hend into jelly. HWHOII wa8 working in another part of the Hlablo, and on hearing the noise ho wont to see what was the mutter. To his horror ho found his father lying in poor, OF DISAD, witirtho buck of Ills liead crushed in. Medical aid was summoned, but nothing could bo done, as the man was Htono dead and probably never knew what struck him. Mr.

Good was a man about 45 years old. He moved to Shannon township about 12 years ago and bought a half section of land from Joseph Shelley adjoining the Han ford Giddings farm. lie built himself a nice house and had things very comfortable. His ilrst wife died leaving him with six small children. A few years ago he married Miss Wilde, of Lancaster township, a sister of J)aniol Wade of this city, and had four children by his second wife.

Mr. Good was a hard working man, a sincere a splendid neighbor and friend. He had the respect of all who know him. He bought a half section of land that was nearly all swamp. He drained and tiled it until now it is one of the best farms in Carroll county.

Ho was a splendid farmer and worked early and late to provide for his largo family. His widow and have the sincere sympathy of all in their sad loss. TII15 KUNICUAL. The funeral services will bo held Sunday at 10 o'clock at the Meimoiiilo Church, in Lancaster township.

damp-Mooting Notes. (From llio Cninp-Mcetlng Herald.) Who is not glad to meet and grasp the honest flat of Uncle Lev! Robey and his good old helpmate? He is the oldest settler in the county and more than 40 years ago he attended 'the primitive camp meetings which were hold under much dilllculty and inconvenience, but, as lie says, were just as happy and soul- inspiring as they are in these days of peace and plenty. llev. Jacob Best, of Freeport, who for 40 years past has followed the standard of Christ and preached His messages of love and purity to the people of this county, is tenting on the old camp ground. He flays ho has attended camp meetings for nearly 70 years and ho still enjoys their blessed privileges more than any other religious gathering.

Everybody is glad to see him looking well and hearty. Dr. Willing was unable yesterday to attend to his duties, being a sufferer at present from inflammatory rheumatism in his feet and limbs. Ho was first taken about the middle of June and has endured the pain with patience and forbearance over since. The peculiar part of the matter is that every one ho meets has a new remedy.

He thinks lie has a million prescriptions, more pi- loss, on his he is using them in order, but doesn't get well. It is to be hoped ho will hit the right one before long. We notice Miss Sadie Tobias, the popular soprano singer of Freoport, on the grounds Wednesday for the Ilrst. She will no doubt favor the people with some of her solos during the meeting. Jlaving been asked by several persons how many tents there were on the ground wo requested Geo.

Shoosmith to count them this morning and that gentleman reports 154 already erected. There are others going up and some are still coming. The number will, in all probability roach over 100 before Sunday. Of course there are several families in a number of tents, as for instance the First Church of Freeport has 13 rooms or apartments in it, and all others have two or three rooms. There is one family quartered in the building used for storing lumber.

The Oirous. Oh, the drums were heard and the piccolo note, as I ho circus uptown paraded, and the shorn-off mule and the whiskered goat and the elephant umber shaded. 1 followed it calmly at early morn, my work and my labors spurning, and I harked to the sound of a rusty horn with a wild and unhallowed yeariug. Few and short were the times they played, and they paused not at all to monkey, so I slowly followed the route they made at the hoels of the lop-eared donkey. I bought up a seat at the show last night, and looked at the limber woman who tied herself in a knot so tight she seemed more like hemp than human.

And I eagerly looked at the wondrous bloko who swollowed some cotton and blew from his nostrils a cloud of smoke till" I thought ho wasshool raising. And 1 watched the clown as ho ran and rolled and stood in a dozen poses, and worked of a string of jokes so old, they came from the time of Moses. The County Building. COUNTY COUIIT PUOCICICDirfQB.

The drive well patentee has an agent at Morrison for the purpose of collecting a royalty of $10 for each drive well in use in this necion. The United States Supreme Court has rendered decision establishing the patent of Nelson W. Green, the inventor of the drive well. He has agents all over the country collecting a fee of $10 from each person having such a well on his property. The number in use in Illinois is estimated at 500,000, which makes the sum to bo taken principally from farmers to roach the collossal sum of $5,000,000.

Gooil lawyers say that it is useless to light this claim and that the patentee can recover his royalty in any court together witlicqsts. It looks like a hardship for many poor men to have to pay this sum as a tax on their water supply yet it is one of the beauties of ouv system of patent laws. A mass meeting of the fanners of several townships of this county and Bureau County has been called to meet at Tampico to-morrow for the purpose of taking united action in the matter of settling the drive well claims. The Eailway Tunnel. The reports from the Chicago, Madison Northern's tunnel, flve miles south of Belleville, between Monroe and Madison, do not point much to an early completion of the road.

It seems rather difficult to obtain laborers who will stay by the work, for men who will labor faithfully out on the grading instinctively recoil from being cooped up in the tunnel all day. The tunnel will be 1,200 feet in length, fourteen feet wide at tho bottom and fifteen feet wide at a point seventeen feet from the bottom, witli a height of twenty-two and half feet. Quite sharp curve will be made in the tunnel. The drifts already made at each end nre only about seven feet square. At the south end the earth has" been removed somewhat more than 200 feet, while at the north end, where soft and rotten rock was found, the workmen have penetrated over 300 feet.

It is thought that the entire tunnel will have to bo arched before it is opened for truffle, which is not an encouraging sign for the opening of tho rond this year. The thickness of the crust from the highest point of hill through which the road is going to the roof of the tunnel is 100 feet. Much of tho rock taken out of the cut is used in a large culvert south of the tunnel. The debris is taken in dump cars from each end of the tunnel a distance of half a mile, where there are deep fills to be made. Tho water for the boiler is pumped from the marsh, distance of about half mile.

In O'Neil's cut only 12,000 yards of dirt have been moved, and on the start several weeks ago there wore 08,000 yards to move. There is a large amount of filling yet to do near tho Judd farm, but most of tho grading has been done between there and the tunnel. The most of the material removed from tho tunnel on the south side by the workmen is a stubborn species of rock, as hard as Hint, and of a blue limestone cast. The stone is blasted with dynamite, fired by electricity. When the blast is ready the men all vacate the tunnel, the electric current is set free, and terrific explosion calls the men back to clear away the broken stone.

Fresh air is forced into the cavity so that the men are in no danger from damps or bad air. The stone removed from the tunnel seems to possess excellent quail ies for building purposes, esi jcially for foundations. It is believed that the company svill use this stone for construction purposes, as soon as trains can reach the tunnel. Green's cut, between Belleville and Paoli, re- quiries a vast amount of labor.

Interpretation of Signals. The following is the interpretation of the Signal Service Hugs to bo displayed by Messrs. Emmert Burrell to toll the state of the weather: The white tlag indicates clear or fair weather; the blue Hag rain or snow, the triangular black Hag is the temper- aturo signal; the white tlag with black square in the center is the cold wave signal; the white tlag with the black triangular Hag underneath indicates fair weather, colder; the triangular black Hag with blue Hag underneath indicates warmer weather followed by rain or snow; the black Hag followed by the white ana blue Hags indicate warmer, fair weather, followed by snow or rain; the white Hag followed by the white Hag with black square in centre indicates fair weather, cold wave. any of the above Hags or combination of Hags are displayed you can tell what the weather will be for the next twenty-four hours. It's the Proper Remedy.

A young lady writes us to enquire if she can get copies of the DAILY Jouu- NAL for a week back. Why, bless your heart, Mary, certainly you can, and we warrant they will cure you, too. Von will find it far superior to a porous plaster. The DAILY JOURNAL will not only cure a weak back but dyspepsia also. It makes a splendid chest protector, and six copies will make as artistic bustle as you would wish to wear.

In fact, Mary, no well regulated family should be without it. Yours in F. II. and C. Summer Squibs.

She -That piece of goods is very nar- to cost $1.05 yard! but my good woman, just see how long it is. Tennyson's "memory for faces" is saidtoboveiy bad. His later poetry shows that his momoiy for feet is also defective. "The Fatal Three" is the title of Miss Braddon's latest novel.

Perhaps, it is a story of cucumbers, soft crabs and milk. A Connecticut man by the name of Poach overfed his children with watermelon, and it is feared that the peach crop is ruined. It is about as safe to be a member of the jury in the Morohead (Ky.) Court as it is to umpire a close base ball game in the vicinity of a brick yard. A fashion writer says the next generation or two of women will abolish corsets. They will have to or the next generation of corsets or two will abolish women.

"How quick can a man wink?" asks nn exchange. That depends. If a man's wife accompanies him to the soda water fountain, and keeps her eye on nun, he accomplishes a wink about 99 per cent, quicker than if he wore to enter the drug store in company with a male friend. Easily Answered. He suddenly began to laugh, and ho kept it up until his wife got tired.

When he was suHlciently recovered to articulate he said: "My dear, something very funny has just occurred to mo. Why are great writers when they die like little Bo Peep's sheep?" "Because they leave their tales behind thorn," responded the lady, wearily. "1 guess I'll go around to the club," he said, gloomily consulting his 1 A Baking Powder Trick. The Chicago linn, under whose direction the band women are testing baking powders in this vicinity, has hit upon very cunning trick. The "test" as performed by these ladies, is to mix the baking powder they peddle and that found in the kitchen with water, soporutely, and call attention to the difference of nctidn: That found in the kitchen, if pure, will foam up quickly like champagne.

The baking powder they desire to prove superior will rise slowly, foaming like new yeast, over the top of the glass. This slower action results from the presenso of (lour in their baking powder, and is evidence of adulteration. To prove this, fill a glass half full of water, mix together eqiijil parts of Hour and some pure baking powder, pour into the water and st' 1 'quickly. There will bo produced precisely the same effect, the slow foaming action, produced by the tests with the ni ulterated baking powder as mado by our lady missionaries from Chicago. The effect will be even heightened by adding a little 1'mo, such as the baking powder carried by the ladies, and the other low grade adulterated powders contain.

Of course, any statements made in reference to other baking powders, by parties caught in practicing such tricks as these for the purpose of deceiving the public, will be entitled to no credit. Loran Wants a Kailroad. The little village of Loran in Jefferson township wants a railroad. They have got lots of sand to ask a railroad company to construct track through those hills. It would cost a mint of money, but we hope Loran will be successful in securing the road.

The Lanark News contains the following in regard to the project: A number of our citizens Tuesday evening drove over to Loran, called out tho people of Loran and vicinity and held a railroad meeting in the interest of the removal of the Junction to Lanark and the extension of tho Warren branch to Lanark. A committee was appointed to solicit aid for the removal of the Junction and some subscriptions taken. The people should bo, and every indication is that they are, interested in the project, as the Warren branch if built to Lanark will come through their place, otherwise they have no hope of ever securing a road. They are identified with our people in this, as in many oilier interests. Notwithstanding the large trade we have had, we still have a big stock of goods that must go, and go between now and a week from Saturday, as my closes for good August 27, MRS.

J. BBNSON. Freeport, 111. ROOA'S, STATIONERY, ETC. Will Wiuslow be Left The little village of Winslow has had great aspirations and anticipations regarding the building of the Chicago, Dodgevillo Northern Railway what is more familiarly known as the Pecatonica Valley route.

It is now quite probable that the road, which is to be built by the Illinois Central Company through that section, will not give Winslow a depot. The reasons given are that Martin, just a mile distant, is a better point, that there is no suitable contiguous grounds near the surveyed route for a depot in WinsliiW. The people of that little town are naturally much chagrined at the prospect, and avow that something must bodoilfe. A mile, however, is not a great distance; and for all practical purposes would accommodate Winslow merchants and shippers quite well. But Winslow can't get up a boom over the faot, and Martin will probably laugh in her sleeve to see her neighbor's discomlll- 11 re.

Tlio above is the report that is being circulated now. but we hope that it will not prove true for we would like to see Wiuslow get a depot and we think is in every way entitled to one. He Had Wasted Time Shockingly. It was on a Central train. "Conductor," said a man, who, from his appearance, was without a doubt a clergy man, "I have a complaint to make.

There are a couple of men in the rear coach playing godless game called poker. One, I am sure, is fleecing the other, who seems to have plenty of money. Won't, you take some action in the matted" "How long they been playiu'V" "About an hour." "An Why the devil didn't you toll me sooner? Hero, Jim," to the brakeman "you take tickets while 1 drop back into that game. If there's any money to bo made out of suckers on this rim just count mo in." A Voluntary Statement. The writer of this paragraph once had an elder and only brother.

Brought up together, we wore almost inseparable, hopeful and ambitions. Exposure planted the seeds of consumption in the elder, and in a few weeks, in the month of May, "good store of flowers were stuck round about his winding-sheet. 1 Every attention and every remedy that love could give or obtain were mmvail iug. Since that sad day, I have learned, through the most trustworthy authority and from experience in its use, that a real remedy now exists, that of Dr. Pierce, called Medical Discovery." A thousand pities that it was not discovered ages ago, but how thankful the present generation should be that it can now avail itself of so potent a remedy.
