Vet Jades of tha Iipnat Cnart froa U Mixta Judicial District. AAR05 A. WOI.FBR.HPKRGIR, of Startlae. T.U The Monmouth Review will be 40 ears old Dec. 28. The Review keeps Its age well. The Boston republicans are still wondering what struck them. The total rote was the largest ever cast in thst citr 76,175 and the demo cratic majority was 4,267 a clear democratic gain of over 7,000. A bulletin issued by the Illinois department of agriculture puts the corn crop of this state this year at 267,425,000 bushels, an average of 89 bushels to the acre. At the present price of corn, about 25 cents a bushel, the crop is worth nearly 167,000.000. A republican newspaper says that Mr. Bayard in his Edinburgh ad dress assailed "with the bitterness of a frantic political partisan the policy which the American people approved when they elected the p.tsent congress." Mr. Bayard ex. plained and defended the policy which the American people approved when they repudiated the McKinley tariff in 1890 and when they elected the present national administration, of which Ambassador Bayard is an appointee. And the American peo ple are quite likely to get around to the same policy in 1896 Chicago Chronicle. There are' 238 lawyers in con gress, 41 farmers, 27 editors, 28 man ufacturers, one railroad manager. two steamboat owners, 14 teachers and college professors, 25 bankers, 20 merchants, one house-builder. tnree clergymen, seven who say they are "engaged in business," eight doctors, one architect, one music teacher, one owner of oil wells, live miners, two insurance agents, one theatre manager, one manufacturer of ice, three civil engineers, nine lumbermen, two owners of stone quarries, two real estate agents. one pharmacist and one steamship rspiain. Taaaar'a Iroa Will. Trmport Bnll.Ua. It is remarkable how John R. Tan ner's political machine of bossism seems to control the republican par y. ii may oeaouotea wnetnersucn a man who has so little education and general culture could in any other nation or indeed in any earlier era of this nation become so complete a master oi a political organization except it be a part rot bossism. The best republicans in the state feel hu miliated ny Tanner's candidacy. This grand state of Illinois will never call such a man to the gover nor's chair, even though he and his forces by chicanery and fraud gain a victory in ine state convention. ArtlaVial Taws. "Where do false teeth come from" said a well known bone importer, echo ing a question that a Times reporter had put to him. "Wouldn't you like ta knowf Must people, I imagine, think that all the false teeth are made from ivory. That is quite a mistaken idea. as the majority uf false teeth are now made from anything but ivory. We im port large quantities of walrus tusks far no other purpose than that they may be maae into lale teeth. "Yon go into aome big dental estab lishment where teeth are made, and yon will doubt leva find the remains of walrus tusks lyiua around, and. indeed. a highly polished tooth made from a walrus task is just aa handsome, al- tnougn not so lasting, as an ivory one. "A dentist once came to me for an elephant's tuak, from which a oood set of teeth might be made for a wealthy cueus oi nis. He was to spare no ex pense. I found him a tusk, which, be. Ing aa especially good one, I sold for $19.60 a pound, the usual price being iron ov io j. ou per pound.

"Of course it would be impossible for dentists to sell teeth so cheaply as they ao now ii tne teetb were all made from elephants' tusks. As a matter of fact. so many people are now wearing false teeth that I doubt if the ivorv suitable for this purpose could ever be found. I am told that a good many false teeth are now being made from vegetable ivory, ivorine, etc If so, the price of teeth must naturally go down, and in time the toothless one will probably be able to replenish his month for an ab surdly low num. A set of teeth for $1.25," concluded the dealer, lauKhiug, "would create a boom in false teeth. " Philadelphia Times. The Eacllsai OrsaU Knead Eaton. Bread is one article of food that is cheaper in England and Scotland than in this country," said Mr. John Ste phenson of Glasgow. Mr. Stephenson and a brother conduct bakery establish ments in Glasgow and London, the largest, perhaps, in the world, certain ly the largest in Europe. "The people on our side," he contin ued, "eat more bread than do the citi sens of America, and not so much meat or vegetables, which are dearer in Great Britain than in this country. We make two pound loaves of square form, the weight of which must be stamped on each loaf, and the law against light weight breai is very rigid. Every week we consume 8,500 barrels of flour, the biggest part of which comes from the United States. Of late we have been getting a good deal of Argentine wheat and a little from Australia. About (he best wheat in the world is grown in Hungary, but of that there is no great quantity imported into England." Washington Post, The Lawyer". Two Clean. - A down east lawyer had a tough case on band at a recent term of court, and before it came on laid his forefinger to bis nose and evolved an idea. The pre siding judge loved a good cigar, and the lawyer's happy thought was to propiti ate him and make him friendly to his ease by treating him to the best the market afforded. The disciple of Black stone was not in the habit of smoking good cigars himself, so when he bought a 25 center to offer the court he bought a cheroot for his own use. Armed with there, he sauntered into the judge's room, and after a little chat parsed out a cigar, asking the judge if he smoked. The court accepted gracefully, but be fore many whiffs were drawn the horri fied lawyer discovered he had given the judge the cheroot and was puffing the Havana himself. The judge politely tried to look pleased as the smoking pro seeded, but the lawyer has since made uo attempts to bribe the court. Lewis ton Journal. Marveiooe ftsealta. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "1 nave no hesitation in recommend, ing Dr. King's Mew Discovery, as the results are almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor oi tne Baptist church at Kives Junc tion she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of couchinc would last hours with little interrup tion, and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recom mended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results." Trial bot tles free at Harta & Ullemeyer's drng store, negniar size ouo ana f l.

Ttai Drlaklaa; CoEfca. ' Delirium tremens! Not a single symp tom lacking." Such was the doctor s verdict In the ease of Mrs. .Sarah Murdock of Kurt Dodge, la. "But I awearto you, doctor," evnlalmed a relative of Widow Murdock, as the wom an's screams died away to hoarse, shud dering moons, "it must be something else a fit of some kind anything but deliri um tremens. I know we all know that the pnor lady never tastes alcohol." My dear sir began the doctor, with an tnipntinnt fihrug of his shoulders. TulUyuu what it piped an old wo man who had been Mr. Murdnck'a par ticular crony for years, "It'a coffee. That's all. Kver since her husband died, pot dear and a lineman he was, I'd have you know Sarah has been drinking a power- RS. SARAH MI BDOCK. fill lot of coffee. It sort of eased her trou ble at first, and after a time she found she couldn't get along; without it. So the habit stuck to hor, and she kept making it stronger and stronger and drinking more and more of it." "That's true," chimed in a number of thorn present, who were familiar with Mrs. Murduck's habits. "You can stake your life it ain't rain. doctor," adiled a man with long hair.- ene nanxi tne sigitt or it. She's always been an active temperance worker, and only last woefe she promised to deliver an address on 'Rum, the Curse of Civiliza tion. " "How many cups of coffee would she drink In a dayf" asked Dr. Nichols. "it might be SO and it might be 40. And strong sakes alivel" "And it didn't make her feel bad" "It did lately, doc. She found she want ed more of it all the time. Her hands used to shake, and she complained that her eyes were geriing queer llKe." The doctor called in assistance, and con. sultations were held and experiments made. It was observed that during the In tervals of the patient's delirium she craved most fiercely for coffee. When coffee was administered to her. she exhibited nreolse- ly the symptoms shown by an ordinary delirium tremens patient who la given whisky. Mrs. Murdock had no desire for alcohol at all, and refused to touch it. It was established on unimpeachable eviuence tnut Mrs. Murdock had many times striven to break herself of the coffee habit without success, and that on the occasion preceding hor alarming outbreak she had dispensed with the beverage for two wuoio aays, suuering acutely mean while. And ao the doctors confessed themselves beaten, and incidentally rehabilitated Widow Murdock's character among ner temperance friends. She has recovered from her attack now and is striving to wean herself from her addiction to Mocha ana Java by loss drastic means. A CLERICAL UNDERTAKER. Be. William 8.
