A dispatch from Litchlleld. 111., says: The strongest flow of natural gas found in tho Stute was struck by the Litch- fleld Natural Gas Oil Company yesterday. The pressure is between 400 and 500 pounds to tho square inch and so powerful that it cannot bo controlled by the methods heretofore used in the wells. The voting on the cane and lantern was quite brisk at tho fair last night. At tho closo tho vote on tho cane stood: "Win.

The boys would not object to the promotions. Tho Lena Star says: About the first of December Gen. Waito and son Clem, will go to California to spend a portion of the winter. In the absence of Mr. Waite the bank will bo under the management of his brother, Mr.

Edward Waile, of Sycamore, and his son Din, who lias given up his winter term in Heloit College. In the Luna Star we find the following which we presume is perfectly reliable; Messrs John Ilarpsterjcutter iu the clothing store of Win. Walton; T. Riley. a popular clerk in the same establishment, A.

II. English, a young druggist; and Wm. IL.Weishar, a leading barber of that city, drove to Lena Sunday, returning in the evening after attending services at the Lutheran church. A little boy named Hdler came near hanging himself with a clothesline the other day. Ho was playing with it and wrapped tho line around his neck while standing on a chair.

He jumped off the chair but his feet did not touch the ground. He was rescued iu time to save his life. Mike Stoskopf had a narrow escape to-day noon. One of the rafters at tho Episcopal Church blew off while he was standing looking at the building, lie just dodged in time. Michael is an artful dodger and has succeeded in dodging the matrimonial noose for several years.

Rev. J. A. Matlack will give tho address at tho Good Templar memorial service of the lato John 15. Finch, Sunday, Dec.

Brubaker. Miss Maggie is an accomplished young lady and a groat favorite among young folks. She is in every way worthy of a good and true husband. This morning George DaForost tendered his resignation as book-keeper in the First National Bank, and it is with feelings of regret that the officers of the bank accepted it. George resigned to accept the position of assistant bookkeeper of the Carbonate National Bank, of Loadville, Colo.

John.LMit- chell, an old Freeport boy, is the cashier of the bank, and Fred Porter, another Freeporter, is the head bookkeeper. George has been offereiVa much better salary than he gets here, and his health is not very good, so he thought he could not refuse the Hatter- ing offer. He was born and raised in Freeport, and is a young man of excellent habits and splendid business qualities, is an excellent accountant and thoroughly understands the National Banking System. BesidQs he is one of the best penman in this or any other city; his writing is us 'even as steel engraving. II" is a valuable man in a bank, ami has a very excellent future before him; Mr.

Barshinger cashier of the First very much to fee George depart. Ho has been in the bank for the pust six years and has always followed closely in the footsteps of his father who was many years the cashier of that institution, and one of the ablest financiers in the west. George will leave fur his new tleld of labor in about a week. Mr. Addison Bidwell, sou of O.

B. Bidwell will succeed him as book-keeper. That gentleman has had years of experience in that lino and will fill tho rriis uocKFOiin BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION WILL MAKE AN EKI'-OHT TO GET A BRANCH OI)' THE MINNESOTA it AT WILL KUEE- roiiT no? Without doubt the Minnesota Northwestern is a first class road in every respect, and some cities within from fifteen to twenty miles of it. are making desperate efforts to get a branch of that road. The main line of the road runs within three miles of Freeport, yet our citizens have never made an effort to get a spur.

It is true that wo have plenty of railroad facilities, but if a spur of tho road would be of advantage to Rockford and other cities, wo should think Freeport could use it also. In regard to the matter tho Rockford OazrMesays: There has been considerable talk of taking some action to secure a spur of the Minnesota Northwestern R. which runs from Chicago to St. Paul, to this city. A committee from tho Business Men's Association has tho matter in charge, and will soon have a conference with President Stickney in Chicago.

The latest scheme is to build the branch from Stillman Valley to this city over the old grade of tho Rockford Central. From the Valley to the Kishwaukee river the grade is all established, and tho right of way can bo secured at a very little expense. It has boon suggested that the manufacturers of this city contribute to a fund and purchase the land necessary for the right of way, and donate it to this company if it will iron it and run trains here. This company does not belong to the railway association, and its rates both for passengers and freight are below those of other roads. The business men of DeKalb, realizing that it would be a good thing to have a spur from Sycamore to that place have just purchased tho right of way for a branch, and tho company will equip it.

The result of the interview between the president of the corporation and our business men will be awaited with interest. HOLDEN PUTKAM POST. THE SHANNON VETEKAN8 HONOK TUB NAME OK ONB OK KTKl'IIENSON COUNTY'S FELLOW IIEUOES HY NAMING TUEIIl POST OF THK O. A. It.

AFTER HIM. J. Brown Taylor, Commander of John A. Davis Post, G. A.

of Freeport was detailed to go to Shannon and muster in a new post of the G. A. R. and Install officers. Thursday afternoon he went to Shannon for that purpose.

Ho was accompanied by Comrades Henry Burrell, Wm. Swanzey, T. M. Kauffman, C. Bokhof, John Yordy, Jsjael Bolt, John R.

Harding, and Fred Held. They were met at the depot in Shannon by a delegation of veterans of that place and were entertained, in an agreeable manner until evening when the mustering took place. Commander Taylor was assisted in his task by other members of J. A. Davis Post present.

The following comrades were mustered in as charter members: John A. Leonard, Co. 49th Ohio Vol. G. C.

Byers, Co. 15th 111. 11. D. Cheeseman, Co.

15th 111. Henry Hoy, Co. 111. Michael Thomas 101th N. Y.

Besides the above who were mustered i the following will join tho post wh onld not bo present last night: John sriel, Bolton's Battery, B. F. Kreamer, lake Sturdevant, Dave Payne, John Dunman, 15th Dr. J. I.

Smith. Geo. Lashell, 15th Wm. Fleisher and others. After the veteransjwere mustered in they elected the following officers: 1.

Geo. C. Byers; O. Guard, Russel A. Hayes; Reuben Connelly; Sergt.

Henry Hoy; Q. M. W. J. Griswold.

The post will be known as llolden Putnam Post No. 646, G. A. R. After the installation of officers the veterans adjourned to A.

W. Babb's restaurant, where an elegant banquet was served by the Shannon Post. After partaking of the good things, a number of speeches were made by Comrades Taylor, of Freeport; Leonard and Ilealy, of Shannon, and Galpin, of Lanark. After the speeech making the veterans wound up their festivities by singing, "John Brown's Body Lies Moldering in the Grave." Handshaking was then in order, and the Freeport veterans took the train for home seeling well paid for their visit. Carroll County sent a brave lot, of boys to the front, and they did noble service for their country.

Those who went from Shannon and vicinity wero among the bravest of tho brave, and tho Post just mustered is a credit to the county and state. COL. HOLDEN PUTMAN, whom the Shannon Post was named after was a brave soldier, and was colonel of the gallant 93d Illinois Infantry. He was a Freeport man, and a braver soldier never drew a sword, as many a Stophenson County soldier who served in his regiment can testify. At the battle of Missionery Ridge, Nov.

25, 1803, he was killed, and 19 of his brave soldiers also gave up their lives on that bloody field; besides forty-four were wounded and twenty-five were missing. Col. Putnam's remains were sent to Freeport and were interred in our city cemetery. A handsome monument was erected to the memory of the fallen hero, and every decoration day it is handsomely decorated with flowers and evergreens by his surviving comrades. A BAB AOOIBDNT.

This morning about 8:30 o'clock Joseph Shopmeier met with a very sad accident. He was at work in the city stone quary and while at work under a ledge of rock and clay it caved in on him and crushed him to the earth. He was quickly extricated by his fellow workmen and conveyed to his home on Chestnut Street, in the Second Ward. Drs. Caldwell and Coulter were summoned, and upon examining the poor unfortunate man they found that his right leg was badly fractured below the knee, a bad wound on the left wrist was also found and a big scalp wound over the left eye.

The doctors dressed the wounds and are of the opinion that the man will recover as they do not think he sustained any internal injuries. It was a narrow escape for the old gentleman. If he recovers it will be a miracle as he is about 70 years of age. He has a wife and three married daughters. DRY GOODS, CARPETS.

In regard to the wreck on the Central at Galena the Gaxeite says: Engineer Cuthbertson, in charge of the Illinois Central push engine, at ten o'clock Thursday fqrenoon, was switching some empty freight cars in the yards in this city, and, as required to do by the company's regulations, had placed a torpedo on the track some distance up the road, to notify the engineer of any approaching train, to slow up.

lie was switching some cars onto a side track near the axle-grease factory, when freight train No. 8 from the east, in charge of Conductor Jackson, came around the curve at the dry-bridge, and before the engineer could stop his train his engine struck the push engine, and threw three of the empty cars from the track, demolishing them. Luckily no one was hurt. The pilots of both engines were torn olT but the engines wero not otherwise seriously damaged. None of the cars in the freight train wero thrown from the track but the force of the collision sent them back one against another letting the trucks from under some of them and damaging a number of them quite badly.

It appears that the freight train was coming at a fast rate of speed when it struck the torpedo, and the engine was unable to slack up enough to avoid the collision. In con- sequnce of the accident trafllc, on the road was delayed at this point for about three hours, until the wreck could be cleared. consisting of all tin; New Shades of Plush, Plush Ornaments, Felts, PONGEES.

U. will have a Gospel Temperance meeting in the English Lutheran Church next Sunday afternoon. There is a wild Montana steer in the Central stock yards in this city that is creating quite a sensation. This morning Tom Shaffer and Lorn Lee went into the stock yards on business, and did not know anything about a wild steer being there. They had no more than got inside the gate before the king of the plains made a dash at them.

Tom Shaffer gave an unearthly yell that could have been heard for miles; he jumped the fence without touching a board, and being very much scared he did not look where ho was going, and the first thing ho knew ho was in the river. lie waded across and kept right on in his mad career until he reached Taylor's Park, where he had to stop on account of being out of wind. J. K. P.

Fleming lent him a suit of dry clothes, and he came back to town in the vicinity of the Codarvillo bridge. Tom's legs will see that he never gets hurt; but his friend Lem Lee was not quite so fortunate, for Mr. Steer soon overtook him and the enraged animal's forehead came in contact wiih Lte's nose with terrific force, and the result was that, ho was laid flat Several men went to his assistance, and the animal was driven off before he could do any more damage. It will be loaded on the him I cars this afternoon, if any one can be I found to do it, and shipped to Chicago. Rev.

Louis Republican says: ''The' Creole," with Miss Lillian Lewis as the star feature, has attracted large audiences. The play is an old story which need not be told here. The role affords the actress scope for the display of versitility, and Mias Lillian Lewis takes intelligent advantage of all its possibilities. She was formerly of this city, and an admired lady of society, and stie got a cordial reception when she came on, which meant recognition by the audience, and was also a token that the news of her well-doing had come before her. She has a line stage presence and is a beautiful women, anil beauty is an important factor of success.

But Miss Lil ian Lewis has more to recommend her than the superficial qualities of a radiant face, imposing statue and rich and elegant costumes. She has dramatic feeling, power and great posi- bilities. She has attained a splendid position iu the short time she has been on the stage and is coming to the front rapidly. Her natural voice is resonant and beautiful, and she shows in the fourth act of this play, where she forgets herself in impassioned utterances. Her third act is a most effective piece of dramatic work, last night was acknowledged by the genuine surprise.

She was recalled after it and carried oil the honors. CALL AND SEE THE JUST ARRIVED AT THE BROWN DOLLMEYER'S Opposite Court House. FREEPORT, Nov. 18, We the undersigned agree to close our places of business Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24,1887.
