K. Fairbank of Chicago, manufacturers of "Santa Claua" Soap, have sent us their Christmas Card, which is almost the first of the season. The card is exceedingly taqtefuland ornamental. They inform us that they will send one of theae cards, postage paid, to any of our readers who will forward their name and address and mention this paper. This may be done on a postal card, but only one name and address must be written on each postal.

As the Christmas Card is worth many times the cost of the postal, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautiful souvenir. Write to 1C. K. Fairbank of Chicago, and be sure to mention this paper. Anderson is improving his residence in the Drot ward by building a new barn.

Kauch, secretary of the state board of health, flatly contradicts the sensational report sent out from Monticello regarding the alarming prevalence of diphtheria in central Illinois. At Waverly there are two mild cases; at Pekin twenty cases, mostly of a mild type, and but five deaths, and at Springfield there are tew if any dangerous cases. Dr. Kauch declares there is no cause for alarm young men from this city went out hunting last Friday.

They were out near Empire, and finding nothing else to shoot their ammunition at, fired away at a turkey near the barn 'and on the property of K. S. Adams. That gentleman caught them "in the act," and ordered them to drop the fowl, which they started to off. They ran, and he chased them over a mile, and finally caught them, although they had dropped the turkey early in the race.

lie made the boys promise to settle for the turkey, and took a gun for security. Later in the day they paid him S3 75. There still rests over them the offense of stealing the fowl, which Mr. Adams can prosecute them for. Boys should be careful about shooting and running away with domestic fowls out near Empire, and in fact, any place else.

No. of the "Manhattan Series" of Popular American Novels. Paper, I2mo. Price 25 cents. Published by A.

L. Burt, 50 Beekman street, New Tork. "Won on the Homestretch" is the title of a story of Southern life, which, like all such tales, possesses a charm of its own entirely outside of all its TU- rioiis other merits of style, plot and incident. The heroine is a character which the writer invests with novel traits, in which piquancy and independence predominate and in no way depreciate her natural refinement. To delineate the hero's characteristics, much negro dialect and considerable turf vernacular have been introduced, but both are exceedingly well done, and are amusing and interesting.

The various climaxes are well worked out and in several instances are of a most startling description. That the story will be popular goes without saying, since it-possesses all the attributes of a successful novel. It ia for sale at Frank Cochran's BOWS stand. HOCK.
