John Blocki, who is now traveling for a New York drug house, was in the city on Thursday. Tho gentleman was for many years connected with tho firm of Blocki, druggists, Chicago, but most recently ho was identified with the misfortunes of the Chicago Drug and Chemical company, which threw up the ghost a few weeks ago. Blocki was the practical man of the concern; his hard earned dollars ot a life-time werein the which he also gave his long and valuable experience. JIo lost his pile, and he has had the the kind that ho had when ho that which teaches an honest uaun that even in the drug business there are knaves. Mr.

Block! travels for one of the host houses in the country, and it is the earnest wish of his numerous friends that it will lie long before he will be on term again. Col. W. L. Utley, whoso name is household word throughout Wisconsin and whose personality has extended into many other states, is at the point of death from diabetes.

He was one of the pioneer settlens of Wisconsin, having pulled up stakes in the east over forty years ago and made his to Racine, where he has since resided. He was colonel of the 22d Wisconsin volunteers during the war, and was captured by the enemy and confined for some time in Libby prison. Politically, he has been during his life a straight-out democrat, a free-soil democrat, a republican, and a greenbacker. Prior to the war he served several terms in the Wisconsin legislature, and he was on two occasions the greenback nominee for the gubernatorial chair. He has also been a newspaper man, the postmaster of Racine, and is the father of II.

It is as follows: "I cannot exuress in words my feelings when the train officials told me it would be impossible to cross the bridge that night. 1 wanted to walk tho six miles to the next station, and then try to reach you in time for the concert. 'But one could not even walk over, the water being more than four feet over the bridge and in many other places, making it impossible to cross in any way. I wrote out a telegram and tried to send it, but they would not even do that. We were stranded at "Garden Prairie" and there we were I ill the train that LJiss Tanner took came along, Wednesday, I hud decided to go through the train and if Miss Tanner was not aboard inteniled going right through to see you, thinking perhaps you might have postponed the fconcert, and I could you out even at this late hour.

THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE, AN INTKKKH'i'lNO StWHION ON' THtTltS- DAY--ftOINd KOIl OUCOMAHUAItlNK. --AKTKIl THE OAMHMCKn AT KAIKH. The farmers' institute that was held at Mt.

Carroll ou Wednesday and Thursday was one of unusual interest, and will long be remembered by many who wore present. The discussions that took place were of general interest, and tended to be of great value to the farmers. Thursday morning President Bailey called tho institute to order at the appointed hour. Herbert S. Blakeway, of Rldott, presented a paper on "Our Common Interests," prefacing it with the statement that it had been groat many yoiys since he had appeared before tho public in this capacity.

He advocated many improvements on the farm, and especially as regards means for watering stock, referring to his own experience in that direction. lie also spoke of the injury done farms by insects and sparrows and urged their extermination. John of Ridott, engaged in the discussion, as did also T. Hallett, of Galena, and others. Tho gentlemen all endorsed what Mr.

Blakeway said. lion. 1). W. Dame, of Lanark, who has had a great deal of experience In tile draining, presented a paper on the subject of "Tile Draining in Northern Illinois, which was interesting and instructive, lie said.that it was ascertained that the steam tile factories' produce per cent, of all tile made, so it is practically a steam industry, and is becoming more so in reality every year.

There wore general statistics given, gleaned from various sources, it being stated that in this state 8,509 men were engaged in the tile factories, and it was estimated that in tho btato tho amount invested in factories was $, In conclusion Mr. Damo said: "Tho fact is brought to light that within a period virtually of about (Ivo years, over live millions of capital has found employment in this industry; that by it about 10,000 men directly and many more indirectly, have boon given new work and wages; that it has stimulated both mining and transportation, and given a new impetus to the local trade of over four hundred of the towns and villages oil'the State in which its factories have been established. In view of the claim made by agriculturists that tho judicious use of drain tile increases the productiveness of average Illinois land at least 25 per of tho fact that such possibilities have only of late years become known, and. of tho further consideration that a vast proportion of tho State ia susceptible to this improvement by this method, it is not too much to expect such a continuous and increasing demand for drain tilo as shall establish the permanence and prosperity of this industry, and very largely extend its Hold of operations." Hon. Shaw, of Mt.

Carroll, said while ho was a Member of the Legislature he was a member of tho Drain- ago Commission, and that the experience was that tlio value of land was doubled by lilo draining. Col. Chas. F. Mills, the secretary of the State Board, spoke of tho great advantage tile draining had boon to the lowlands of Illinois.

He urged that all farmers take an interest in this important industry. "Improved It Is and How to Get It," was tho title of very interesting paper by Prof. of the State University. He advised the farmers not to select any animals for progenitors that were notable for one particular object alone; that farmers who desire to breed to their best advantage should select in cattle progenitors those which are noted for their milking and beef qualities combined, and those of horses the roadster and draft combined. Prof.

Morrow's talk was an extemporaneous one, and as ho is known as authority on stock, the assertions of tho gentleman made quite an impression. "Fruit Farming in Northern Illinois" was discussed by T. Hallett, of Galena. T1IK AKTEUNOON SESSION was mainly taken up by Jacob Grossman, of Lanark, who read paper entitled, "Will It Pay Farmers to Hold an Agricultural Fair?" Ho said that county fairs wore too much given to horse racing; that the fanner members paid no attention to the election of officers, and therefore tho fast horsemen tilled the offices and ruled the fairs. He was not in favor of fairs unless the farmers could secure control, and not allow the wheel of fortune and horse race men to rule.

John Swanzoy took a hand in the talk, as also did others. Hon. George L. Hoffman, Mayor of Mt. Carroll, and a lawyer by profession, said there wan a remedy for tho wheel of fortune If they were run anyone could make a complaint, and tho offenders w.ould be arrested, Then Mr.

Lamp, of Lanark, denounced fair associations and oflicers for allowing anything of tho sort. Don of tho Herald, who was acting as official reporter, called the gentlemen's adoption to the fact that they were oil tho track; that they had lost sight of the main qu-. ation at issue. The conclusion reached was that farmers ought to take more interest in the fairs, should attend the meetings, and vote for good olllcers, and make it a county fair in tho broadest sense of the word. TUK COMMITTEE ON IlK.HOIArTIONS reported lato in the afternoon.

Tho Legislature will be asked to appropriate a fund for the carrying on of institutes liko the one held. This was opposed by some OK tho ground that it was imposing too much of a taxation on farmers who were already burdened. Mr. spoke in favor of the resolution on tho ground that farmers paid a big share of the taxes, and ought to be accorded some benelits. The resolution passed, however.

OLEOMARGARINE received very black eye in the shape of a resolution which asks the members of Congress to so amend the oleomargarine law as to compel hotel, restaurant and boarding house keepers who have tho stuff on their tables to put up signs in conspicuous places in the dining rooms setting forth the fact. The usual complimentary resolutions were passed, and tho institnln adjourned. Tho Carroll County people, especially the Mt. Carrollitos, made the stay of the delegates and others a pleasant and profitable one. COL.

CHAK. K. MILLS, the affable Secretary of the State Board, was a gentleman whose presence was especially enjoyed'. In talking with a JOURNAL reporter, hu said it was one of the best institutes he had ever enjoyed, and would be glad to have them continue. Mr.

Mills was asked in regard to the State fair, replying that the Legislature toad the matter in band. Decntur, Chicago and Springfield were Imrdatwork for it, and it was alto- getlier probable one of the cities named would secure it. The gentleman passed the night in Froeport, and accompanied Mr. Ilaskell to Rockford on the early morning train. MATEIMONfAL iAKNO.

In the past live months 18 new tribes have been instituted and 2,000 pale faces adopted throughout the state.

Now Dave is hustling to organize another tribe on the East Side and the members propose to christen it "Turkenkoph Tribe." It has a good sound and no possible objection could be raised to it on its sound, for it might be called an Indian, Hindoostan or a Greek name and no one could swear it otherwise. That's the beauty of it and the East Side Red Men want to tack its beauty to their new tribe." Talks with Travelers. Registered at the Brewster on Fridav was Thos.

Carroll now-a-days, about the first proposition is: "Let's go and see the Hotel Glen View." The JOURNAL does not wonder that the citizens take an especial pride in its new hostelry, for it is certainly a credit to the whole county, and long after its promoters are numbered among the dead it will stand as a monument of what enterprise and liberality can accomplish. THE HOTKI, GLEN VIEW has been open for the accommodation of the public for a few weeks, but on Thursday evening it was in possession of at least 400 ladies and gentlemen from Mt. Carroll and the surrounding country, it being' the occasion of a "grand opening," -given under the auspices of the Mt. Carroll Hotel company. At 7:30 o'clock the Italian orchestra, of Dubuque, commenced to render the sweetest kind of music, and as the guests arrived they were escorted to the parlors.

The night was a miserable one as far as the weather was concerned, but this did not prevent the Mt. Carrollites and others from turning out en masse. Lanark, Savanna, Shannon, Freeport and other vicinity places were represented among the guests, all of whom were glad to be present on au occasion of so much pleasure. THE GLEN TIKW is a handsome three story brick, occup- ing a double lot, built on the main street, on a corner opposite the county building. It is owned by a party of at least thirty gentlemen, comprising Mt.

Carroll's most prominent citizens. Work was begun on it last spring, and it is a substantial structure, complete in every respect, and well adapted for the purpose required. The principal stock holder, Mr. Ash way, occupies pleasant rooms on the lower floor, while his ueice, Mrs. Harvey, and her pretty little daughter Grace, have elegant quarters ou the second floor.

Tliere are 40 rooms in the house; the heating ia done by steam, and all modern appliances, such as electric bells, are in use. The house is furnished from top to bottom in a manner calculated to reflect credit on the owners, as well as on D. E. Conklin, tho capable and energetic landlord, and his wife and daughter, all of whom are ne plus itUm in their respective departments. The Mt.

Carroll people are noted for their hospitality, and on this occasion they spared no pains to make their outside friends agreeable. There was a time passed in general sociability. Then a banquet that would do honor to a city ten times as large; the speeches made were all in keeping with the occasion, and were well received; tho old as well as the young enjoyed the dancing at the opera house, and everything was first class throughout, and cieditable to all interested.
