K. S. Maud, un expert organ tuner and repairer, has the instrument in Zion church in hands. It is probable he will devote attention to other church organs before departing for his homo. The artltkial pavement that is taking the place of the old walk in front of the Urewater house is quite a theme for discussion.

Large numbers of citizens call daily and see how the walk is laid down. Jason Youngs of the Kirby house, Milwaukee, is in the city. He is the solo owner, his son Oscar now having charge of Lake Lawn at Delavan. Mr. Youngs says business is good at tlu Kirby.

Mr. K. L. liurchard, the editor, sets all the type, and exhibits energy and perseverance that is commendable. The Ladies'Auxiliary lawn social on last evening was a pleasant a flair.

Ihough not largely attended, probahh on account of the dampness. Tin lawns of Kuowlton and Zartman residences presented a very pretty appearance. The ladies are untiling in their efforts to do good. They hardly cleared exi eases on last evening. This has been a heavy fruit week for Prenport.

K. church will hold a sociable in the church parlors next Wednesday evening. The refreshments will consist of sandwiches, doughnuts and ice tea.

They will be a little more substantial than tho refreshments usually served nt sociables- ice cream and lemonade. Wo think tho ladies have struck a drawing card this time, and they ought to reap a harvest of silver dimes, for there is nothing that the average Freeport young man (or older ones, for that matter.) like better, about nine or ten in the evening, than a nice ham sandwich and a good glass of, ahem -ice they will all be at the sociable next Wednesday night. RACKET RAIL A KEYING TUII' MARK HY OIIIICK KNOI- NKICK AUKNT NTIU. ON TI1JC WAUI'ATir. Chief Engineer Randolph, of the Chicago, Madison Northern road, arrived from Chicago early this morning, and departed for the east again at 9:45 o'clock.

He said work was progressing finely, and that there will be no let up. He has had no report from tho surveyors east of Freeport, but expected a party would arrive here next week.

Murphy had purchased property of Mr. Peil'er, Tlios Beliler, Jacob Iluber, Henry anil Jacob Jaeger, William Wright and Lou Pa IT. AT MONUOIC. There appears to be considerable excitement in the vicinity of Monroe regarding the new road and the operations of the surveyors. The tiunthid, in an article on the work, says: "The more recent survey of the new railway route through this city, that is the one known as the west side route, is considered by far the most feasible and satisfactory, for the reason that the now Hue contemplates an under-way across the C.

M. St. P. road west of the city, and a slight grade through that part of the city near the vast brick- clay llelds, and by a gradual curve skirting the west and northwest boundary to a point between Ludlow's farm and the present terminus of Jackson and Jefferson so on northeast until it takes tho old survey for tho Madison route; with some deviations; through Sylvester, Mt. Pleasant, Exeter, etc.

It is reasonably certain there will be cars soon running through this county north and south. During the survey and building of the road, Monroe will be headquarters for work parties and supplies, as it is the only point on the route between Freeport and Madison which lias railway facilities and telegraphic communication with general headquarters of UK company which has the work in charge. ANOT1IKH UUJIUK. A telegram dated Oshkosh, says: "It is reported hero to-day that the extension of the Illinois Central railroad to Madison is tho commencement of a scheme to extend tho line to this city to connect with the Milwaukee, Lakt Shore and Western railway, and thus gain access to the Gogebie rangr through northern Wisconsin. It is said that the Lake Shore people favor tin plan in order to get an opening south.

The Wuifter Hinge Company has experiencing such a boom that uhe present quarters are not, snlllciently large, consequently there will be an addition 40x80 erected. It will be two stories high and constructed of corrugated iron.

This institution turns out some very valuable specialties and business was never as brisk as at the present time. TIIKHKNNUV NUflOV WOIIKH are running to their fullest capacity, and unusually heavy shipments arc being made to all parts of the west. The new addition is well under way, arid work on it is being prosecuted rapidly. The JJenney institution is at tho present time employing a larger force of men and the prospects for the fall trade appear very bright. THE JIARTLETT MANUKAl.TIMMNO company is cloing a business that is very creditable to an establishment of the kind.

The specialties that arc manufactured by the company llnd a good market wherever introduced, and the trade is rapidly on the increase. THE STOVEH MAN UKACTIJIUNd CO. report good business in the various lines, and quite a force of men on hand. There is a rush in the manufacture of the Stover nail machines, and the barb wire machine business appears to be brisk. This is institution that is steadily Increasing its capacity and trade, ami much credit is due Mr.

Stover for the enterprise lie displays. There are a few shops shut down in consequence of the season being over, but the specialty house of Devoro Knowlton is running at its full capacity; tho Woodmanse shop is doing considerable; the Robinson shop never did as big a business as at present, and the carriage and wagon shop of Jacob Kline is likewise situated. In general, Freeport manufactories are prosperous and the out-look for the future is very bright. OHDROH CHIMES. THE TOIMC'S TO III!

THE CROP PROSPECTS, THE HECKNT LUIIIT KAINS HAVE A (IOOI) EFFECT ON THE UROWINO URAINS-- UKNKHAL, NOTES. Reports from various sections of the county indicate that the crops will fare much better than it was anticipated they would. The rains that fell on Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday had a very good effect, and already the results are manifesting themselves in the fields. What is needed to complete the farmers' happiness is more rain tliu more the better. Corn will be a much better crop than it was expected, the smaller grains with few exceptions also promising fair average yields.

Potatoes appear to have suffered mostly from the drouth, and they will be very scarce in tho and winter. Artificial Stone Walks. The question of sidewalks, and how to obtain a good one at reasonable tig- nres, is an important one to properly owners generally, and to a city the of Freeport. Until recently an arlili- cial stone walk was a thing unknown in this city. Within the last two weeks the Miller Artificial Stone Company, Des Moines, Iowa, been laying an artificial stone walk in front and around the residence of Dr.

II Taggart, and now that the work has been completed, and to all appearances is a grand success, we feel disposed to speak a good word in its favor. The ingredients of the cement, or material of which the stone is made, are pure, imported Portland cement, clean sand and water. When lisrt prepared it is quite like common mortar, but in a remarkably short time it becomes hard, and in the course of a few days will bear an enormous weight. It is laid in sections of four incites in thickness, and about three feet square, and is so constructed that any block or section of the pavement can be taken up without destroying or damaging the adjoining sections. The feature of dividing the walk into blocks or sections is also a safeguard against damage from frost.

This pavement has been adopted by the United States government on the Capitol grounds at Washington, around numerous public buildings throughout the country; the eommis sioners of public parks of the city of New York; and is highly recommended by the leading men and olllcials of nearly every large city in the country. They have just completed the walk around the Iowa State Capitol at DCS Moines, also the Government building at Duhuqiie. This is ample evidence that the walk has merit. Mr. Miller would be pleased to meet any one interested in the matter, and detail more fully the many excellent features of his walk, REV.

OEO. 0. HADDOCK. THK HK3HAINH OK THK VICTIM OF 7'HB FOUI. ASSASSINATION AT SIOUX CITY IWOUGHT TO rniCEPORT AND TAKEN TO RACINE.

There arrived on tho Illinois Central passenger from the west Saturday morning a sad party of mourners. It consisted of Mrs. George C. Haddock, the widow of the Methodist minister who was so foully assassinated at Sioux City last Tuesday night; the only son, Frank Haddock, a young lawyer of Oshkosh, Mrs. friend of the family, and Mr.

F. F. Heck, a prominent contractor of Sioux City. They had with them baskets and bo- quets of beautiful flowers, the offerings of dear friends. There was an immense basket of flowers from tho ladies of Storm Lake; one from J.

II. Lemon and wife and another from Mrs. C. W. Seidel, of the same place.

The remains of the deceased were in a handsome casket that was transferred from tho Illinois Central to the St. Paul depot, the ladies and gentlemen taking the 12:12 train for Racine, where the body was laid in a grave in Mound City beside a'daughter, who died some years ago. A dispatch from llacine states that Presiding Elder Leavett and a large number of ministers and friends from the surrounding country arrived there to be present at the services. THE MOURNERS left Sioux City at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Mrs.

Haddock was prostrated for quite awhile, for at every station that was reached, bells would toll. To-day she was feeling much better; she is a very line looking lady, and the ordeal she is passing through must be a terrible one to bear. THE MURDER occurred in tho vicinity of Fourth and Water streets at ten o'clock on the night referred to. Mr. Haddock had been out riding with Rev.

C. C. Turner, and after ho had left the horse and buggy at the stable he was on his way home when he was made the victim of a foul conspiracy. After the shot was lired a man ran to the side of the minister, who breathed his last inside of live minutes. The news was then broken to Mrs.

Haddock, who was talc- ing tea at the residence of a neighbor. At first she tookithard, but later calmed down, and then went into fainting spells. TIIK DEATH WOUND. After the body had been taken to the house search for the wound was made, and it was found that the ball entered on the left side of the neck, about three inches below and a little back of the ear, and passed entirely through, coming out under tho chin on the right side. The ball struck lirst far down on the shoulder, and plowed along several inches before entering deep into the flesh.

A SHOCK. Mr. lieck, in conversation with a JOURNAL representative, said the shock to tho community was such as has never before been experienced, and the perpetrator is without doubt one of those low, degraded beings in whom the spark of honor is dead, and in whose breast no thought of remorse will rankle as he gloats over the terrible deed. No clue has as yet been discovered, though yesterday the prosecuting attorney informed Mr. Haddock, the sou, that a chain of evidence was being established that would undoubtedly prove advantageous in ferreting out the criminal or criminals.

No cause can bo assigned for the deliberate taking of the life of Mr. Haddock. Since the saloon injunction cases have been brought, a very dangerous feeling against the temperance men has been engendered, and it has been very bitter against Mr. Haddock, who was a zealous champion of the cause. The coroner's inquest is being conducted with closed doors; the citizens have bold law and order meetings, and adopted denunciatory resolutions, and the council has offered a reward.

A fund for the widow has been established, and sypathctic telegrams have been received from all over the country. THE R'NKUAI. SERVICES were held at the First M. E. Church yesterday, Presiding Elder Whitllold in charge.

The remains were taken to the church at 10 o'clock, Mr. Beck said, where they lie in state until the services begun in the afternoon. The edifice was tilled to overlkr.ving, and the floral decorations were never so elaborate at any funeral service ever held in Sioux City. There were present many relatives from abroad. IN FREEPORT.

While the mourners were at the Brewster house to-day, a large number of gentlemen called and offered sympathy to the bereaved in their affliction. 11IOORA1MIICAL. Mr. Frank C. Haddock, who is a member of the law firm of Houghton Haddock, said his father was born in Watertown, N.

in the year 1831, and consequently was years old. He. was educated at Black River institute at Watertown. In his early youth he was called the boy orator. At the age of IS be began to learn the trade of a printer, and in later years he published a paper at Beaver Dam, Wis.

At the age of 'JO he married Miss Cordelia Herrick, and in 1H5E) lie removed to Wisconsin. In 1803 be entered the ministry at Port Washington, and tilled appointments at Clinton, Waukesha, Oshkosh, Hipon, Appleton, Fond tin Lac and Racine, and last at Milwaukee. Hi; went, to Iowa about six years ago, and was first stationed at Burlington, removing from there to Fort Dodge, and last October he went to Sioux City as pastor of the First M. E. Church.

How many of our loved ones are mould- ering in the dust who might have been spared for years. The slight cough was unheeded, the many symptoms of disease that lurked within were slighted and death came.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. HKV. OKO. V. DAY, OF OAK PARK, DELIVERS A I-ECTURE TO AN AUDl- KNCE OK FIUSKPOIITEKS AT THE UHKW8TEK.

In accordance with an announcement in the JOURNAL, Rev. Geo. P. Day, of Oak Park, delivered an address to a large audience at the Urewster House parlor last night. He chose for his topic "Christian Science," and for about an hour entertained all present with a general talk on its principles, also answering questions that were put to him by some of tho auditors.

Mr. Day said, in substance, there are two classes of evil which afflict the and self-imposed, voluntary and involuntary. It has always been the aim of philanthropic minds to lighten the burden ofibnman woe. and too much honor cannot bo given to the associations which seek to relieve mankind of ignorance, poverty, vice and crime. There is hope that from this the world may finally be delivered.

But to sickness, disease and pain society seems to submit as to inevitable destiny. There is alleviation, but no apparent redemption. Through 'physical science we can learn nothing of the cause, origin or nature of disease. No research, no skill will lay bare its essential character. Hence, no hope of its extinction.

Nearly one-half of all children born, die before the sixth year; another large proportion before adult age. Very few indeed depart in a painless old age. There seems a prevailing revolution against the doctrine of THE PHYSICAL SdKNCES. Christian Science has ventured upon an absolute denial that mind is molecular action of the brain. It asserts that mind is substance and the only substance -that matter is phenomenal, is the creation of mind and dependent upon mind for its seeming existence.

Disease is not, therefore, of physical origin and dependent upon material conditions. It is a mental image by fear, and its treatment must be through mental agencies alone. When fear is allayed and the mental image displaced the patient will be well. This view of the essential character of disease is seen better in the light of facts. Christian Science does not claim, to heal in every case.

A practitioner of very large experience estimates that one case in live receives but little benefit, while the four are entirely relieved. Of the thousand or more, who have been under the instructions of Mrs. Eddy and her usual teachers, the speaker had not heard of the death of one. Though mostly taken from the invalid ranks the first serious illness of a scientist is yet to be recorded. Metaphysicians are not necessarily Christian scientists.

The latter believe that (rod is the universal mind, that man when scientifically apprehended is not flesh and blood but spirit, the likeness of his Christ the revelation of the truth, and that the truth of Being when grasped by spiritual sense frees from all error and disease. The mission of Jesus in the world was to deliver mankind from sin, sickness and death. He relieved of them curses all who came to him. lie taught his students the science by which they were ablo to be like benefactors with himself. Kov.

Mr. Day remained in Freeport to-day and returns home to-night. He is the pastor of the recently founded Christian Scientists'church, on Wabasli avenue, in Chicago, where he preaches to a congregation of about one hundred persons on eacli Sabbath. ATTEMPTElToUTRAGE. A TRAMP FOILED IN HIS PURPOSE TO INFLICT IN.IURYON A TEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL NEAR 1VE1.MAN.

A gentleman who resides near Weiman was in the city on Saturday, and reported a case of attempted outrage. It appears that the other day a ten- year-old daughter of Mrs. II. D. Dtr Vreas, while in the road, was forcibly carried into a corn field by a tramp who happened by.

Phil. Seymens heard the cries of the girl, and followed the wretch, taking his dog with him. The tramp ran away, and when Mr. Sey- mens reached the spot where the girl lay she was badly frightened. The affair created a great deal of excitement in the neighborhood, and it is a pity the scoundrel could not have been captured and strung up to a tree.

is all torn to pieces over an elopement, the parties being Mrs. Mollie Law, the divorced wife of Dr. Law, and Lew Mapcs. They have gone to Silverton, Col. We have a slight recollection of how "The Law of the Laws," as written up in a Chicago paper a few years ago, had about the same effect on the village and certain residents of Darlington.

Mr. Patrick Grant, who resides in Harlem, was tendered a serenade last night. All the tin horns in the city were brought into requisition, as well as all the available tin cans. The racket was a terrible one, and must have been heard miles away. But Patrick took to it good naturedly, and entertained his friends right royally.

Miss Mclntyre, who was the guest of the Misses Hayden, has returned to Galena. TO CONSUMERS OF COAL. We are now receiving fresh mined coal of the very hest quality, which we offer for cash. We call special attention to our Lehigh Coal. Some of our competitors may tell you that it is not genuine.
