Probate Clerk Henry Helmig, who is also a justice of the peace In Peru, has prepared a report of the fines received by him as such Justice of the peace, which all Justices are required to make. This report goes to the county Judge for his approval. Mr. Helmig reports under oath that no fines, penalties or forfeitures have been imposed by him since the first Monday in December, 1886; and that the last entry in his J. P.

docket bears date August 7, 1885, and that he had heard no matter since that date. Diphtheria at Sheridan. The village of Sheridan Is quite seriously afflicted with diphtheria, which has become almost, if not actually, epidemic Dr. J. W.

Pettit, who was in the city on Wednesday, reports that he has eight cases under has care. Of these two are in a critical condition, but with a chance for their recovery; the others are very sick, but will probably, recover. The village authorities, as is often the case in places of that size, neglected' to take any precautions to quarantine the first cases that appeared, thus giving the disease a foothold it would not have had had proper precautions been taken at the Deginnlne. Now, how ever the matter is thoroughly in hand, we are Informed. so' that further spread of the disease will be Impeded and finally stopped, in all probability.

BLAIR'S BIBLE BILL. A Counter Tetltlou Being1 Circulated In Ottawa. William T. nibbon and J. R.

Buster, the latter colored, have for the past few days been circulating a petition in the Interest of the National Religious Liberty Association in opposition to the proposed bill Introduced In the United States Senate by Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, to place the bible in the schools. The petition Is not meeting with great success here, as the average citizen knows that Senator Blair's proposed bill is contrary to the constitution, and even If It were passed by the National Congress, two-thirds of tho states must ratify It before It could become a constitutional amendment. Further than this, neither the Douay bible or the bible of King James could possibly be agreed upon. No, the average citizen has no fear of a union of church and state. It may not be geuerally known, tho' such Is the fact, that Wie Mrs.

Elliott, whose pungent speech, at the meeting of the Farmers' Institute in Ottawa a week ago, under the title of "Cackles from the Farm," created such a sensation, is a daughter of the late Owen Lovejoy. Her utterance was brimful of the fire of her illustrious progenitor, and her case affords another strong attestation to the truth of the axiom, that "Blood will tell." Jno. L. McCormick, of Peru, who continues the large trade in ice his father was so long and profitably engaged in before him, has made arrangements to till his Ice-houses this season from Lake Pepin, Wis. The Ice will come a little higher than usual but the quality will be very superior.

There was great excicement among the "p'leece" at Peru Tuesday evening on receipt of a dispatch from Seneca to arrest a party coming down the river in a skiff they had stolen. In due time the craft hove in sight and was hailed and ordered to land by officer Schick. It was found to contain a man, two women and a child, all badly scared. On a critical examination by experts the boat was adjudged to be worth about 30 cents. Late reports sent out by the State Superintendent of Schools places the total number of children in the state of school age at 1,018,000, of whom Cook couuty has 285,528, La Salle 26.169, St.

Clair 21,877, Peoria 20,600, McLean 20,200, Will 19,752, Adams 19.277, Sangamon 18,306, Kane 17,669 making La Salle the first county in the state after Cook and Kane the 8th. A copy of the Canton (Dak.) Advocate comes to us containing a long marked article denying with some heat the current newspaper stories about suffering and destitution In South Dakota. The reports, says this paper, "are lies of the most contemptible character, sent out to discourage Immigration to the fairest and most fertile portion of Uncle Sam's domain." Pcrcon-trrt, Hon. H. II.

Sheets, chairman of the S. I). State Relief Committee, who has just made a thorough canvass of tho districts reported to bcsuffeilng, states unqualifiedly "that the settlers are in sore distrress in hundreds of cases." The suffering prevails in a dozen of counties he names and "is much greater than the people of the state are aware of and calls for immediate relief." From the amount of real estate advertising In the Advocate we should judge that the publisher is pretty well "in" with the land speculators to whose business of course these reports of destitution are ruinous; yet it appears incredible that any one should be mean enough knowingly to discourage the granting of relief where It appears to be so urgently needed, purely from low, mercenary motives. Aurora has a raraaris in a veteran railroad engineer of the name of Wm. Mobley, who has been a driver of the "iron hoss" with hardly a day's intermission for 51 years.

He run the first engine on the railroad between Baltimore and Washington, when they had the little basket cars and walking beam engines, and If by any mishap the cars jumped the track, the engineer would get off his hoss and lift them on again. He carried President Wm. Henry Harrison's message from Washington to Baltimore in 1841. During the rebellion he ran engines in the service of the United States. He is 71 years old, still erect and hearty, and runs an engine on the Chicago and N.

W. II. It. T.a Grippe A Few Pointer. Persons who have had a cold are much more likely to take the influenza or so-called la-grippe.

It is much more severe when accompanied by a cold. The most critical time is when recovering from the disease, as slight exposure will often cause a relapse, and that is almost certain to end in lung fever or pneumonia. The feet should be kept dry and warm, the body well clothed and care used to avoid exposurse. The bowels snould be kept reinilar, and persons physically weak should take quinine to keep up the vitality. With these precautions and a free use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a prompt recovery Is reasonably certain.

That remedy is unequalled for a severe cold and this disease requires precisely the same treatment. For sale oy r. E. Gapen Son. The grippe is robbed of all dangerous consequences by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold.
