DAY. A movement is on foot to open a public library to be under the control of the village council. It is expected that the books of the old Worthington Library Association, which went down amid the early wrecks and quarrels of the town, will be used as a nucleus, and that a hundred or more recently put in by a Chicago housft, and it seems bought by a new association, can also be used. This is a good step to take, if it cau be kept clear of factions, and sects, and wranglings, which have heretofore killed nearly every effort for the gener al good. Let us build up a library, not tor one class, or for one religion, or for any one set, but let it be for all. Foil SALE on TRADE. A span of 2400 lb. mules.

The Prohibition ele ment did not make a straight fight for a ticket this time, but voted "no li cense." There were two tickets in the field, one nominated by the license ele ment at a license caucus, and the oth er nominated at a general caucus com posed, however, mostly of prohibition ist*. The straight license ticket won. The result is as follows: President of Council— II. C. Shepard, 147 Peter Thompson, 96 Majority, 51 For Trustees— Frank Glasgow, (no opps.) 243 Chas. L. Peterson, 211 S McLean, 154 8. Y. Wyckoff, 93 McLean's majority, 61 Recorder— Frank Lewis, (no opps.) 241 Treasurer— Chas. W. Smith, 14& It. F. Baker, 100 Majority, 4& Assessor— O. G. Grundstcn, 146 S. Kindlund. 102 Majority, 44 Justice— E. B. Hall, (no opps.) 244 Constable— W. I. Humiston, 142 A. S. Ilusselton, 102 Majority, 40 For license. 151 Agaiust license. 90 Majority, 61 The vote was light, only 245 being polled out of over 300 registered. The majority for license was the lar gest since license was adopted in 1883. The majorities for license have been as follows: In 1883 52 In 1884 21 In 1885 40 In 1886 12 And now, gentlemen of the village, property owners especially who have something at stake, we recur to the position taken in last week's AD VANCE, and for which we labored dur ing the past week, viz.: mak& the liq uor question a side issue, or only one issue, and let us all unite for the de velopment of the town. It may be that the license question is settled by the laws passed last win ter and that we have no right to vote on the question. If this should be the interpretation of the laws, the matter will be settled for some time to come and we hope to see one village election on the sole issue of developing the town. SOMETHING NEW. The G. A. R. lecture course will close on Tuesday evening next, March 22d, with something entirely new for this place. Prof. S. M. Spedon will give one of his entertainments illus trated with instantaneous cartoons drawn in the presence of the audience. The Photographic Bulletin, of New York, says of his entertainment: Prof. S. M. Spedon lectured before the Photographic section of the Amer ican Institute. The vividness with which he portrayed the different char acters with crayon was loudly applaud ed, and the rapidity with which he drew full length portraits and land scapes not only demonstrated his nat ural geuius tor art but was the evi dence of much careful study. The in terest and good humor were greatly heightened by his interesting, faceti ous and entertaining monologue, ARRIVALS. Messrs. Highland and BronftT of Plainvilte, III. have arrived with teams and goods and will go to their farms on section 29, Dewald. Others are coming soon from the same place, Mr. Joseph Hendy, from Wis., is on the way with three car loads of goods and stock to take possession of hie place, the mvi of section 2, Elk, the Scut or Bradden place. Do not be misled by unscrupulous dealers into -buyitig any other than "Briar Pipe" smoking and "Charm of the West" chewing tobacco. TOWN MEETINGS.

The ADVANCE will give the next week in supplement form. laws Peek a-boo (take a chew of "Charm of the West" chewing tobacco,) I see you, come from behind that "Briar Pipe" smoking tobacco, liuy no other. UNITED WB GROW. "In essentials unity, in uon-essen tials liberty," is an old maxim of the Catholic church. It might apply here in Worthington to advantage. The ADVANCE is pleased to see that its article on the village election struck the right cord and was endors ed by a large majority of our people. The gist of that article was that we must unite and pull together for the development of the town, and not put men in oflice simply on the issue of "license" or "no license." The time has come to remand the liquor ques tion to the rear and to bring the mak ing of our town to the front. HO W TO SECURE SLEEP. R. H. Ross, of llockford, III., writes us the following humorous and certain recipe for securing sleep. If only about 299 of those fellows who are losing sleep and tossing wildly on their beds because they are not paying up would read it and heed it, then we would all sleep soundly, printer and patron alike: I have slept but little of late and when I did sleep, I had troubled dreams often dreaming that the devil (printer's) was after me. Last night after a terrible tussle with his inky majesty, I managed t»awake. I jn». mediately got up, and, sitting down by the cold stove began to ponder over my sins of commission and omission, and among the omissions 1 discovered that I had not paid the printer. I braced up and passed a resolution that the sun should not again go down on my de linquency. I then went back to bed and had the sweetest sleep that I have had for six months. Enclosed you will find which carries the resolution unanimously and I believe that my repose will be quiet hereafter for I feel relieved (of already. ALL MEN ARE NOT BAD, Neither are all prepared remedies un reliable, This is proven by the results following the use of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic for dyspepsia, rheumatism, scrof ula, jaundice, torpid liver and general weakness. Prof. Foster says of the last of March and April: The fifth storm will strike the coun try on or about the 25th, and the last storm for the month will cross the Mississippi on the 31st. Further on the prophet says: "The excessive rains the iast of March and the first week in April will damage farming lands in various ways, principally by washing the lands and the growing small grain. Whatever can be done to prevent dam age from these sources will pay to be looked after. After the storm of April 4 will be the time for farm work. The weather will be warm and fine and oats and spring wheat sowed about that time will have many chances of success." 188?] Now is the time everybody wants a daily calendar or an almanac for the new year. Numbers of these are pub lished and scattered throughout the country. The ones issued by the Cen taur Company of New York city are by far the most beautiful and complete. They can be had free of our druggists. Rumors are afloat that the Burling ton folks are already accumulating scrapers and other tools in this county to begin grading the road north from here. We know nothing beyond the rinnor but hope it is true.—Worthing ton Advance. If the Burlington do not put their scrapers at work on the line soon some other company will.—Currle Mineso tian. What has become of the north and south coal road to Desmoires? Did the project end when Mr. Irish got his Dakota appointment? That would be a road worth having and would make this a manufacturing point of some importance. An excess of animal food and a par tial closing of the pores of the skin, during the winter months, cause the system to become filled with impuri ties. These can bp removed and the hlofld purified and invigorated by tak ing Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Price SI. Salem papers, it. would seem, fare extremely bad. The News has been sold at sheriff's sale and t' Register is in the hands of the sheriff. Salem is one of those towns unfortunate enouch to contain two strong and obstinate factions, each of which desired an or gan of its own and had not sufficient patronage to support it. This is a very bad advertisement for the seat of McCook county.—Beaver Creek Giaph ic. Worthington has been that sort of a town, but somehow the law of the "survival of the fittest" has worked here. The ADVANCE hat flourished in spite of the onslaughts of the "world* the flesh, and the devil." C. V. Baxter, an experienced and successful druggist at DeWitt, Iowa, says one family there created an im mense sale for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy by using and recommending it to their neighbors, during their siege of whooping cough. Now it sells rap idly on its merits it has no equal for coughs, colds and croup. Sold by C. W. Smith. DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.

Following is the report of the Grand Jury, making, to some extent, the same recommendations which have been made from term to term: The grand jury recommend as fol lows: We, the Grand Jury, find upon ex amination of the Nobles county jail that the same is in need of an iron gate to cover the space from what is known as the steel cage to the entrance door from the sheriff's office to the common jail, for the purpose of pro tecting officers and preventing prison ers from escaping thereby. We recommend that the said jail and the sheriff's office adjoining ha thoroughly cleaned, painted and cal* somined. We also recommend that the outside of the court house and jail receive at least one coat of paint. We also recommend that the banks of earth and other material against the foundation and walls of court house and jail be removed as early in the spring as possible, with a view to the protection of foundations of said building. We have reason to believe that a real estate and loan office business is being carried on in the office of the register of deeds, and said office being inade quate to the needs of the county busi ness, and recommend the removal of such real estate and loan office, if snch exist. [Concerning the last recommenda tion we interviewed Register Johnson and his assistant, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Johnson informed us that he was not doing any real estate business, as he had only such real estate as he had puichased to hold. Mr. Brooks has some land t^sell, and has advertised money to lend. He will, however, transact that kind of business hereaft er in some other place.] HOW'S THIS! We offer One Hundred Dollars lie ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. Cheney & Co., Pro., Toledo, O. P.

During the past year the firm of Hansberger & Bro., shipped by rail from this point, 132,600 bushels of grain, 4.200 bushels of clover seed, and 6,000 bushels of potatoes. This busi ness has grown to these large propor tions within a few years past, under the watchful management of the Hans berger firm. Six years ago, their ship ments for the year only amounted to two boat loads of 1,500 bushels each. From this it will be seen that Balti more has grown to be an important grain market within a comparatively brief period.—Baltimore (O.) Messen ger. Mr. Wm. Westlake, stock raiser and breeder of thoroughbred horses, living near Avoca, Nebraska, was badly in jured by being thrown from a sulky. After usirg numerous liniments and consulting physicians, without being afforded any relief, he obtained a bot tle of Ch imberlain's Pain Balm from the druggist at Avoca. which he began using, and noticed a change for the better after a few applications in two weeks he entirely recovered tfie use of his arm. It is unequalled for severe bruises and sprains, rheumatism and lame back. Sold by C. W. Smith. The ADVANCE announced recently that the St. Andrews Bay company had been denounced as a fraud by the Public Herald, of Philadelphia. This seems to have led to inquiry, as parties in l.uverne had invested some in the scheme. The Luverne Herald says: In answer to an inquiry concerning the matter, E. T. Carson, of Philadel phia, president of the Kniehts Tem plar and MaRonic Mutual Aid Associa tion, says: In reply would say the St. Andrews Bay R. It. & Lai Co. is undoubtedly a fraud of the lirst magnitude. The fellow who is run ning it, by the name of Weber, has been in several snide schemes for tak ing in honest people, and this is one of his grandest enterprises. This is no secret so far as I am concerned, and you can send my letter to Weber, the scamp w*o is running tlie fraud, if you want to." EXCITEMENT IN TEXAS. Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re markable recovery of Mr. J. E. Covley, who was so helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise his head everybody said he was dying of consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discov ery was sent him. Finding relief, he bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills by the time he had taken two boxes of the Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained in tlesh thirty-six .pounds.
