hear we Kddio Dewalt expects to go to a dental school in Philadelphia soon and ho did not know what to do with his hound. Chas. Fifluid took a fancy to the animal and offered Eddie $25 for it which wiu accepted. The dog was a great favorite among the little folks and will bo greatly missed. A now male quartette has been formed and is composed of F.

IF. Rabe, first tenor; David Bokhof, second tenor; Mr. Shadd, first bass; John Black, second bass. The above gentlemen organized to sing for their own amusement, but could no doubt be induced to sing at entertainments. Last night Miss Kate lleisler, of this city and Kdwurd Walkey, of Florence Township, were united in marriage by Huv.

O. F. Muttison at the residence of the bride's parents on Whistler street. The happy young couple have the best wishes of "their many friends for their future prosperity anil happiness. Mr.

Walkey is prosperous young farmer and he has chosen for his bride a lady who is in every way qualified to make a good wife and housekeeper. Dr. Emmou, of Forroston, telegraphed to Agent Murphy this morning to have an officer take charge of his sinter who came up lo Freeport on the morning passenger. Mr. Morphy handed the telegram to Deputy SneritT Frank Brubaker, who placed the lady under arrest and took her back to, Forreston.

It is supposed that the lady's mind is a little affected and that she was running away. In circuit court, Belvidero, Thursday morning, George Jacobs, the man who placed a big boulder on the Northwestern track two miles this side of Bolvi- dere, was brought from jail. Ho plead guilty, and his attorney, Mr. Lamport, stated to the court that it was generally believed that he had no intention of doing any damage or putting lives in jeopardy. On this assurance Judge Kolluiii sentenced defendant to one yoai in Juliet.

It will be remembered that Frank Mathews, of this city, was the engineer of the train and Frank felt very grateful to the fellow, at the time, for saving his train from destruction. But when he found out that the fellow who llagged the train was the same chap who put the rock on the track, he felt more like kicking him than anything else. Most everybody in Freeport was familiar with the white horse that used to haul D. Adauison's paint wagon to various parts of the city. Well, that white horse is no more.

It met with a very peculiar death. Ever since the red headed girl and white horse craze struck Freeport that horse lias come into play quite frequently; il was always on the and when the boys saw a red-headed girl they were pretty sure to find Adamsou's white horse in sigiit. It got to be quite a chestnut, and the poor white horsa was getting quite tired of being rung into the gang. But last night capped the climax, and it was no use- although the hoi so made a gallant light he had to give up the ghost. A young lady was walking near the Northwestern depot, and her hair was a fiery red; as soon as the boys who work at the depot caught a glimpse of the yo.ing lady they began to look around for a white horse, and sure enough, there stood Adamson's white horse backed up to a freight car where the men were loading some paint.

It was too much for the poor animal, and without a struggle he laid down and died! This morning his remains were taken to Gilbert's tunnery. M' 1 Adamson has another white horse hitched to the delivery wagon to-day, but we understand ho is going to "paint him red." Miss Kate DoFrnin 1ms gone lo cngo to remain for some time. Miss Hattie Hayward of Lena guest of Miss Cora Kundlngor. Mrs. F.

M. Brown, of Chicago, is the guest of P. Brown nnd wife. Country school-manna can gather lots of hazel mi's this year. They are about as plentiful as the other.

You will see one of tho best plays over presented in Freeport if you go to tho Opera House to-night. Silver King has no equal. J. U. Taylor Is erecting a rifle range at his park for Company and also a club house for the use of tho Company and tho Freoport Gun Club.

Will Weishar expects to flx his new barber shop up in line shape. Ho will have a marble lloor nnd has ordered KM) square feet of marble from Chicago. Mrs. W. T.

Vincent has gone to Delhi, Iowa, whore she will visit friends- for several weeks. The first of October sho will enter Mrs. Wm. A. Stevens' store.

Mr. James Smith, of tho well-known flrm of McMillan Smith, Is very sick at his home in Silver Creek township, with typhoid pneumonia, and slight hopes are entertained for his recovery. W. A. Merrilleld arrived homo today from the Wisconsin State Fair which Is being held In Milwaukee.

He had charge of iho Stover Manufacturing Company's exhibit there. Contractor llowlelt will put a force of men at work to remodel tho house that C. H. Little bought of 1. F.

Flock- nor. Now bay windows a now porch will bo added besides other improvements. Lewis' Monte Cristo combination will open tho season at German la Flail on the evening of Sept. 26. This combination has a car-load of tho most beautiful scenery ever exhibited in this city.

The company is very highly spoken of by the press. Tho time of the year is approaching when trade is expected to reviTO, and a good plan for merchants to adopt is to got their announcements before tho pubMc curly and to keep them in sight constantly. Nothing pays so well as persistent, BVKtomalic advertising of the right sort. The Stovor Manufacturing Company expects to occupy their now foundry in a month. Next season they will erect a very largo machine shop in East Freo- poi if they can dispose of their present shops.

It Is entirely too small for business, and if they can dispose of .0 they will erect a Hhop that will bo credit to tho city. Tho Buffalo Express says: Tho McGibeny Family is quite as remarkable as the historic Johnny Morgan, ovorv one, from tho father down, playing nil sorts of musical instruments, also adding vocal selections to the programme, and as a whole, with its band, orchestra, its choiuses, solos, nnd humorous sketches, was warmly received, encored nnd doubly encored. Contractor llowlelt says ho turns away throe or four jobs every week. Ho has all the carpenters at work that ho can and it will keep them busy to finish all tho contracts ho has on hand now, without taking any new ones. This is about tho case with other carpenters.

They all have enough work to keep them busy for tlio rest of tho season, and a groat many carpenters will have work all winter. Tho Hock River association of A. O. U. W.

will hold a basket picnic at Dixon on Thursday, tho29th on the old college groonds. Delegates will bo present from Sterling, Rock Falls and other towns. Past Grand Master McLean, and other good speakers wi'l be present. In tho evening there will bo social hop in tho Opera House. Several members of the order from Froeport will probably attend.

Tho other day we wrote an item about Frank Stoosigor having a good wholesale cigar trade, and tho intelligent compositor sot it up "wholesale liquor trade," and since that time orders have been pouring into Mr. Stoesigor's store for all kinds of liquors. the strongest liquor ho keeps is ginger ale and orange cider, which ho will sell to you straight or mixed, just as you like. Tho stove trade boom. has commenced to Rev.

Louis Meredith and family have returned to Rockford. Silver King at tho Opera House tonight. Don't miss it. Mrs. C.

II. Stocking and Mrs. C. II. Soeley are visiting Rockford friends Tl'j season for church festivals will soon bo here and the festive oyster will have A voly fight took place yesterday evening about 6 o'clock, on Exchange Street, between two muscular females.

They went at it in true John L. Sullivan style, and it was not long before "blood" was llowlng very freely. The fight wont on for about live minutes without either one getting the best of it, but the largest girl of the two finally got In a blow on her antagonist's neck which sent her to tho ropes, and when time was called for the next round she turned and fled. Tho affair drew quite a crowd of men and boys who did not offer to separate tho combatants. Tho Supervisors of Winnebago county are not vc'y patriotic.

It seems ihat the majority of the voters of that county are in favor of the Board of peivlHOi'H i''iaiing $25,000 for a memorial lui'l. but the country members voLed against Uio proposition. It is shame and a disgrace that a county Unit sent so many biavo boys to tho field of battle can't erect a monument to the memory of their heroic dead. The enterprising c'ty of llocU'ord is in favor of the proposition but thocounlry members can't see it that way. Tho Rockford says: "Supervisor Simpson this afternoon brought up his motion to appropriate $25,000 for a soldier' memorial in this city on the ground that the project was favored by tho majority of the people of the county by the vote.

11 was rejecl id by a straight vote of 13 to 8, tho outside towns voting against the town and city of Rockfonl." No t.ace has been found of the con- li- man whom Marshal lio a.rested yesterday. The Marshal placed tho fellow in a cell and went down to tho Court House to get Slate's AlUMiiey Heard and while he was gone tho fellow reached his hand through 1 '10 bars and in souie manner picked the lock. Ho wenl onl tho jail door into the stone pile yard and bounded over tho fence and was gone. The whole pol'co force hunted high nnd low for the fellow but ho co.ild not bo found. He was no ordinary confidence man, for ho must have been an export to open tin; lock in the manner he did.

He had two pals with him and it is believed by many that they were the fellows who had contemplated robbing the Or.iwgoville bank, of which the JouiiNAi. spoke tho other day. It is too bad that the fellow managed to escap: 1 113 State's Attorney Hoard was going to try awful hard to send him to Joliet. Wm. Walton has his show windows fixed uf) in an artistic manner and they attract a great deal of attention.

A. E. Hall sold out his store in Lena, and left for Chicago this morning where ho will make his future home. Mr. E.

Tho farmers of Tampico and other po'nts in Whitcside county are banding together to resist tho attempt to collect a royalty on drive wells. brakemivi on the Central came near having the top of his head taken off yesterday near Dubiiquo by coming in contact with a covered bridge.

P. W. Hockey's men arc at work on the building occupied by G. W. Tandy.

They will moke some very good im- pr vements in that ancient building. will have the Rapid Soi vice Cash System placed in their store. They are also having eight electric lights put in, and Saturday night there will be grand illumination. Tho ten cent circus attracted quite a number of people last night, and we must say the performance was far su- poiior to lots of first class circuses that have visited this city. The circus will i omain hero all this week.

The Go-IIome-Enrly Club will give a dancing party at Armory Hall next Wednesday night, but they will not send to Janesvillo for an orchestra, like they did last year. The Opera House Orohertra will furnish tho music. The Comity condemnation suit that has been engaging the attention of Judge Barton for a few days came to a close this afternoon, and tho case was given to the jury about 2 o'clock. Judge Hyde made an eloquent and logical plea in favor of Miss Comity's side of tho case and Hon. James I.

NelT, the wily railroad utto-noy tried to convince the jivy that land near Bob Town was not worth cultivating. Miss County asked 10 for sixteen acres of land that tho F. D. N. wauled for right of way.

Land in that country is worth from $45 to $75 an aero. Twenty- two Witnesses testified in the case. Some of Miss Coualy's witnesses said tho land was worlh $5,000, and others wore as low as $2,975. The railroad company's witnesses were not quite so high in their estimation. They valued it all the way from $900 to $1,532.

The jury allowed Miss Comity $1,950. AN INTEEFSTINa MEETING. THE ANNUAt, WEKTINd OK Til 1C W. V. M.

Association of District, in session at Polo, closed last evening with a lecture by Rev. DeLoss M. Tompkins who spoke in terms of highest praise of tho work in India of tho missionaries sent out.by the W. F. M.

Nelson, of Mt. Carroll; Mrs. F. Runner, of Freoport; Mrs. Mary Buss, of Lena; Mrs, Lydia Heistor.

of Loaf River and Mrs. Eliza Watson of Freeport. Mrs. Willing's address to young ladies on Wednesday evening was one of her finest efforts. Tho conlrast between the life of young woman in America and that of one in heathen lands was drawn in word pictures by the masterly hand of an artist.

The M. E. church was beautifully decorated for the by tho ladies of Polo On the table in front of tho desk was a large ball covered with moss. In front in snowy letters were tho words "The Field-" On one side of this stood a beautiful cross of white flowers, on the other a harp wreathed wilh crimson blossoms. Excellent, music added not a little to the entertainment of tho audiences on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

Wednesday evening Miss Lizzie Bentley sang a solo that was greatly admired and ten young ladies sang a song entitled "The Heathen's Request 1 On Thursday evening Miss Anna Shumway, of Polo, delighted the audience with a lino rendition of tho solo "Come Unt.i Me."

Ho called the civil docket entirely through'Tuesday nnd not a case was found ready for trial. Hut wait till the Judge gets down to Leo County. He'll liudti docket there so cove.od with moss and fungus that lie can hardly open it. They do say that at the lust term when a judge undertook to call the docket ho was hampered by the facts that either plaintiff or defendant or both were dead, or one of the attorneys was under ground, or the cause of action was dead, or thejentries were so yellow with age that they could not bo read. Verily, when Judge Hailey begins prodding among these legal antiquities ho will feel like an archaeologist among the ruins of Pompeii.

It is in the practical demonstration of this rule that the success of the enterprise is illustrated. Mr. Harrison has started out upon this, the fifth season of "The Silver King," with the argument that the public do not clamor for stars alone. They would much prefer being treated to a good, even all-around company, each actor fitted to his or her respective role, than sit out a bore of a performance which is goaded through by the abortive efforts of one "star" and a dozen sticks. Bad support in the minor roles will ruin any play and in casting characters in "The Silver King," the management wisely abided by the motto ''collective excellence." The company producing this beautiful melodrama will appear at Wilcoxon's Opera House to-night.

Vicinity Pick-ups. Mrs. Nellie Butler, of Warren, secured eighteen premiums on fancy needle work at the Janesville fair last week. Jerry Shannon, a laborer who was run over by a hand-car near Warren a year ago. and had his back broken, died the other day and was buried at Apple Oregon had a potato famine last week.

Not a potato could be found for sale in the town. The Ogle County Reporter says: The Rock River Furniture Factory wus sold to Dr Isaac Rico as representative of the First National Bank, SatuHay morning at Sheriff's sale. Consideration $7,200. This includes the machinery, the plant originally costing $27,000. The judgments against the factory aggregate about $8,000.

Kre long matters will be fully adjusted and the establishment opened for business. The Monroe Independent says: Thos. Casey, a briikeman on the C. M. was killed Tuesday by the freight train running over him and cutting oil' his legs and right arm.

The funeral of the lateJJr. J. S. Reynolds took place Tuesday afternoon from his late residence, at Monroe, and was largely attended by Knights Templar from Janosville, the Masonic fraternity and Knights of Pythias of this city and a host of sympathizing friends. The services were conducted by the Masons and were solemn and impressive.
