Margaret Kelly, died Sunday morning between 11 o'clock at the residence of her son in Ottawa Center. Her death was very sudden as she ate a hearty breakfast and talking with the family until o'clock when she was suddenly taken ill with heart failure and before a physician arrived she had breathed her last.

August Eastemeyer lodged such a charge against John Pidgeon before Justice Hanley at La Salle on Tuesday. Mrs. E. claims that he entered house at night, and although she met him armed with a lamp in one hand and a revolver in the other, he disarmed her and committed outrage, at the same time smashing some of her furniture, "which latter indignity so angered her that she had a warrant sworn out against him." Pidgeon was held to the grand jury in the sum of $500. His Blood Poisoned by Cow Itch.

About five years ago my blood was poisoned with cow itch, and every spring since then I have been troubled with the poison breaking out in large sores all over my body. I tried various remedies without receiving any benefits. Three bottles of Swift's Specitle (S. S. effected a complete and permanent cure, when all other blood remedies had failed.

in The existence industry required practically but few started with a visit made by Mr. Wm. Deering, the harvester manufacturer, of Chicago, to Hon. Edwin H. Fitler, a rope manufacturer, and the present mayor of Philadelphia.

Mr. Deering subsequently found it so dimcult to get perfect twine that a few years ago he equipped a large twine factory with the best and most modern machinery, and is now making his own twine. The value of the annual output of binder twine is about $14,000,000. The Rockford papers are about the only ones from any of the cities around us that are willing. to admit census is all right." The Register says: "That much-abused individual, the census enumerator, has proved that he was all right after all Whether Rockford shows 23,000, more or less, it may be assumed that the count is as correct as possible, and that the hard-worked, -paid nameenroliers have been.

faithful and thorough." Thus in Ottawa we believe the general feeling is the same towards the much-maligned enumerator. Whether our population is reported at 12,000 or 15,000, more or less, right or wrong, the disposition is to accept it as the "official fact."

He started with a pair and now has a dozen or more. He finds them as gentle and tractable as cats, the most perfect confidence existing between them and their keeper. They follow him about the city, like young dogs, and are very sensible of the caresses that he lavishes upon them. Emerson," says the Rock Island Argus, "thinks that when the skunk has had a chance to vindicate himselr he will be able to clear his character of some of the baleful aspersions that now cling to it, and to stand forth in his true light, an equal to the long-haired poodle and the Thomas cat as a benefactor of the human race. At any rate he proposes to control the skunk market of the three cities and the adjacent country, and he feels assured of enough appreciation on the part of the public to make the venture a sue- cess.

His Wife Suffered from Erysipelas. Mr. John O. Rogers, of Dana, Illinois, writes as follows under date of March 27, 1890: "My wife was for. years an invalid from blood trouble, and suffered terribly at times from erysipelas.

Two Iowa editors--he of the Dubuque Times was probably one of them, as he tells the story, called on the President lately and were introduced by Senator Allison, who assured his excellency that the gentlemen called simply to pay their respects and wanted no office.

The President smiled and then amazed the party by making a joke. "Yes," said he, have noticed that Iowa is modest of lat Since a certain little occurrence a few weeks ago it has seemed as if at that time she got about all she wanted." Then all laughed heartily, and soon the lowa gentlemen took their leave. Gaining the outside, the editors asked the senator what the President's joke was about. "I'll be hanged if I know," said the senator. "I'm sure I don't." said the next.
