DECATOR, ILLINOIS. Offlce In Review Bulldlnj, Cornw ot Main and North streets. $200,000. The ag-- sums expended by these four-societies the summer outing for thfe 'year equals the contributions of all the Protestant societies for foreign mhbionb, and iome religiouibtt, it is a bau showing', but it is not. It is a good use of ihe money.

O'UiUY IS, J397. NOTHING TO BRAG OF YET. The Chicago Times-Herald says that Agriculture Secretary Wilson will go out. of his office with the distinction of having done more for ihe farmer than uny of his'prcdecessors. The particular dircetidn in which lie may yet do so much is in opening- up Asiatic markets for our wheat.

It said that, statistics show Japan and China offer tempting fields for the increase of our wheat exportation. Satisfies do show that and the possibilities of the consumption of our flour in the east are vast, indeed, if we can them to take our surplus and if we will take something that they make in exchange. But Secretary Wilson did not gather the statistics, nor he first to point out this new marke't. James J. Hill, the Great -Northern railroad maker, with keen sagacity, saw the possibilities of rich eastern markets for our farmer, galhered the statistics and published them.

He has been trying to got steamer rates und to work lip traffic from the cast.to our shores a the steamers may profitable freight coming this way. Then' the wheat that they earry back will not have to pay for 'the round trip of the steamer and it can be curried at a price a will enable it to compete with the food stutts now sold Asiatics. If Secretary Wilson does anything towards making possible to deliver our wheat to those teeming millions so that it. will be cheaper tlism the food now eating, then he will do something for our farmers. That is the right way to make a market.

There is no sense in talking of increasing the home market, as if the people now here were going to eat more. are not in favor of subsidies, as a rule, but it'appears that here is case in which they are justified, if they ever are. Mr. Hill wants some help extended to the steamship companies it is possible that it would be wise to extend it in some form. LIKE THE JAPANESE.

The new Japan is both iconoclastic and ingenious and the kudo's subjects have accomplished wonders in their rapid abolition of old forms of life and government and their adoption of modern ideas. Thtse little brown men are so-encouraged by their success in putting on.tin: garb and conversation of these fin di: siecle (lays thai, numbers of them are now said to be contemplating seriously the establishment of a new religion--to be compounded out of elements selected from Christianity. Buddhism and the precepts of Confucius. W'hether this rumor is well founded or no, it is cer- rtainly characteristic in Us audacity and lack of reverence. Within a few the Japanese have largely changed their customs, dress and institutions, have organized new army, secured a new navy and set to work to build up a new system industries.

It is difficult for any one who has not studied the subject to realize how sweeping and how sudden itJiis revolution has been. Having so many things new and having developed a passion for brand-newness, why not create a new religion? This to file materialistic Japanese mind would not be a matter of insuperable difiicul'ty. T-he oivly colored woman lawyer of t'his country is Miss Ida I'latt, a native of Chicago, si graduate of its central hgh'school and also of its law college Miss 1'lutt is an accomplished musician, as well as a thorough German and French scholar, and since her admission to the bar, three years ago, has enjoyed a lucrative practice in her native city. She is a young woman of graceful and dignified presence, fine mobile features, soft, wavy hair and a complexion decidedly fair for one of her race. IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

Nothing 1 gives more opportunity to ntitive genius than advertising. The Daily Jlail say's General pavoiut opposed the decoration of Sarah J3crn- hardt with the cross of the Legion of Honor. in Figaro, comments on. it. writes a long letter to and replies.

There may be uc- 'trcsses as great, but none other 'Iras kept the public ear so long and so originally. The University ot Illinois will open a law department in September. The school as to be as well equipped as any in the country and graduates will be admitted So the Illinois bar without examination. A circular recently sent out shows tfca't many prominent men are to be eounuctcd with department. English bicycle manufacturers have tut the price of jiiyji class wheels f'-cini I guineas to 20 guineas and of second class machines from 30 guineas to 13 guineas.

But ot this cut the American wheels are at least 25 per cent, cheaper and are much lighter and tiisy running- and quite as strong. The new library school recently established at the Wtate university is attracting considerable attention. Miss Katherine Sharp, recently of Armour institute, who is -ati the? -head of the school, has no equal in line of work in the country. The University of Illinois is this fall to admit women to the medical depart' ment at Chicago--formerly the College of 1'hysichins and Surgeons. This is a step in advance for a state university.

FROM THE PEOPLE. If He Hnd Out Justice. Editor Review: Wishing to correct some errors that were published in The Review this morning in regard to the suit of J. and John McDugal, I send the following I do not know who reported the cu.sc, but I do know that he made a. mistake when he suhi that McDugal produced evidence that he purchased a buggy besides the shafts of rne for for it wag shown conclusively that Joe Sipes, who swore a he was present when the trade was made, was not anywhere near and therefore knew nothing about the trade, and if I had got justice no such evidence would have been allowed.

The only time that Joe Sipes was present, a one week previous to the time when the trade was made when .1 sold the butfgy to John McDugal for $1 ca'sh and he was to come and get the buggy that evenlnpr. But he failed to come, therefore the trade was void and I will Blve Justice'Hardy 53 to produce any ruling by any honorable judge now on the bench In Illinois, where any such evidence went to a jury. In the next place any person who has a.ny reason knows thiit I would not sell a pair of shafts for $1.35 that I had just paid out 70 cents on not ten days before to have them repaired, as I will Rive anybody that much for a pair of shafts that are as good as now. That 13 not all. He borrowed a check rein and has never returned it.

I. suppose that Justice Hardy presumed that It belonged to McDugal. The foregoing are facts that were proven In this case. P. R.

Some of our aldermen ire i i thai it is a waste of money to try patching our paved streets by putting few new brick i in 'here and there. It appears from our experiences with whut patching has bi en done that they are right in their conclusions. It.

is worse than pirtting new wine into old tot tics. The new brick not only wear out nearly as fast as the remnants of the old ones, but actually make the streets rougher. The new brick stick up in the paving and besides getting double make a jump off from which ithe wheels drop down on the old brick with ftrcater force than would otherwise have. It is proposed to cover the old streets with asphalt. If this cannot be done the city had just as well take up course, ami relay it That will 'h'iive to be done some time.

It is a waste of money to put i few patches of new brick in the worn nut streets.
