A Nncreaarul Change.
It is always an important etep -the moving of
au old established house from a stand occupied
by it for a series of decades. Such a stop bag
ruined many a man. Never, however, has such
a !-U't been more successful than that of Mr.
G11.1.BN, who comes to La Sallo street after many
years ou Court street. It goes without argu
ment that he can now receive the public in
rooms the size of wuich is more in accord
with the size and character of the stock he has
always carried, for Mr. Gii.i.en has always car.
rled a first-class stock though lie was in hardly
first class quarters. He never could be releuat
ed to a second pluco. His stocks were always at
least equal to the best and greatest in the city;
aud now, with increased facilities, with new
Koods arriving dally and entire stocks put in dur
ing the past two weeks he has crowded this
building from top to bottom with oods with
stock uuexceeded, unexcelled in any particular,
if equalled, by anyone in this county. The goods
toll their own fctory. There they are. Look at
them. Tho-e who were unacquainted with this
hous aud may havn thought because the goods
were piled away in drawers they were not in the
house, have been wonderfully burprlsed aud
pleased during the past two weeks with the su.
perb stocks opened and now ready for inspec
turn. In all departments the stocks aro found
full containing all the standard, fashionable and
novel dress goods, all lines of notions, great
stocks of domestics, and, In fact, all dry goos
The new stock of carpets, rugs, curtains, Ac,
has jumped into Immediate favor. Probably no
carpet stock ever opened here has been so hand
somely received by the putlic. The other stecks
boots and Bhoes and groceries are also in
splendid shape. Taking all things together
Mr. Gili.en has the best reason to feel certain
the public will be more pleased than ever with
the stock of "The Old Reliable;' an with the
wonderfully low prices made on all lines, this
must be more than ever the most popular house
in the city. '
The Churches.
Temperan3 . B. Finch, an attorney of Lin

On Sunday, at 12:15, he addresses the Sunday

Mrs. Gregg, on Wednesday, was informed by
Mr. Reddlck that she could remain In his build
ing another year. Having expected to move, of
course nothing has been done to make her rooms
attractive as her patrons had invariably found
them. But now they will be Immediately put in
order in preparation for the spring season, and
In a few days tho spring stock will be opened
n renovated apartments and the ladles shown
all the latest styles in hats, bonnets, trimmings,
ribbons, flowers, ornaraeuts, and all tho eUete
ras of thoroughly stocked millinery rooms, of
which tho ladies know more than we do. Mrs.
Gregg promises every novelty, every new style of
the season in all lines, and all know that when
she makes a promise of this kind she nevr fails
to have tho goods. She has been here so long
that she knows the ladles of this neighborhood
look to her as the leader tn these matters and is
therefore extra careful not to disappoint them.
She has about her, too, a corps of careful, skill
ful and tasty assistants, and superintending all
their work iu person secures the best possible
finish to goods she sends out. Of course all new
spring hats and bonnets must be worn on Easter
Sunday, and as that festival is now close at hand
ladles should call on her soon.

The Farmer Review and Wftfcm Rural give J.
E. Porter, in recent issues, handsome notices of
his new inventions in which farmers a re loterst-
ed. Mr. Porter was allowed three new patents
last winter, all of which these papers speak, of in
high terms. His grapple hay-fork, in particular,
bids fair to become even more a favorite than his
hay carrier, which, as all know, is the king of
hay carriers.
A case of varioloid made its appearance in Ot
tawa this week. The patient Is Mrs. D. Dreifus,
who had just reached Ottawa from Bremen. She
came in the Herman, lauding at Baltimore on
the 12th, arriving here on last Thursday. Sho
was delivered of a child on Saturday, and on
Sunday the physician's examination led him to
pronounce her sick with varioloid. She Is now
at Herman Dreifus'a, on the west side. The
health olllcer has taken proper precautions to
prevent the spread of the disease. If there be
any in the city unvacclnated, they should pro
tect themselves at once.

The Turners have the carpenters at work mak
ing improvements In their ball. In the centre
they are building a ventilator, In the shape of a
dome, directly under which will be a large chan
delier, which it ia expected will make draft
enough to throw out the foul air of the room
through the roof. The galleries are being short
ened, at the end nearest the stage, leaving the
whole of that end of the hall clear. The pro-
centum will be all repainted and remodeled, a
new celling will be put on and a new floor laid,
besides which the side walls will bo papered.
The Interior will be much more beautiful as well

Mr. Reddlck has suddenly changed his mind

Warren Biale, of Bennett & Riale's, places
this office under obligation for several days'
smoking for all hands in the shape of '-Meals"
and ''Busters,'' made by our old friend Captain
L. A. Rising & Southwick, tif Joliel. During
the meditations incident to a post-prandial fu
migation, the incense of which came from these
excellent weeds, we came to the conclusion, and
will f-tick to it with all of a smoker' tenacity,
that the Captain's hand has not lost its cunning
or his good taste its delicacy. The cigars are
good.
During a playful scaffle between some boys in
Albrecht's store on Thursday afternoon, one of
the number, a son of Jacob Vtigett, was bitten
quite severely in the left thigh by a large New

Weis came in soon after and dressed the wound.
No fears of serious results are entertained.

Improved Applebee Twine Binder a machine

farmer: Light draft, clean cutting, little fric
tion, strength, simplicity, Ac. This machine Is
for sale by G. W. Reed A Co., who invite the
farmers to examine it before leaving their orders
elsewhere.

New wall papers at Forbes & Lorriaux's.
Hearing that Scott Bros. & Co. were to have
their millinery opening to day, a reporter for
this paper could not restrain bis eagerness to ob
serve the new spring styles in ladles' hats in ad
vancc, so yesterday he took a stroll around the
second floor of this mammoth dry goods house
and found all persons busily employed. Miss
Pangborn, of Chicago, has charge of the trim
ming and Miss Kittle Montgomery, of this city,
of the sale department. The former is a com
parative stranger to our citizens, but her quali
fications and good judgment place her above
question. Miss Montgomery is so well known
as one of the most pleasant saleswomen In the
city that further comment would be superfluous.
All ladies should remember the opening to-day
and attend. There will be displayed the very lat
est styles in hats and all the new shades in trimmings-
hats In all grades from $40 and $50 down.
In the suit and cloak making departments we
found a room filled with expert ladles (ull hand
some) engaged in filling orders for the large
trade this house has worked up.
The truth is the second floor was so filled with
the several departments designed for it.that Mr. J
E. Scott was forced to admit that if he could have
the rebuilding of the store he would be obliged
to make it three stories.
Speaking in a general way, the success of the
firm of Scott Bros. & Co. the present year is won
derful, the sales during the last four weeks be
ing fully 100 per cent, greater than for tho cor
responding time last year.
Town auditors meet on Tuesday. See notice.

A Harbinger of Spring
When you see the ladies filing into Forbes A
Lorriaux's, as they are now doing, to select from
their large stock of wall paper the new and beau
tiful designs with which they intend to adorn
their walls, you may be sure that spring Is at
hand. But whether spring is upon us or not,
Forbes te Lorriaux, at all seasons, rain or shine,
are desirous of serving you to the best of their
ability, and that they can do so to your entire
satisfaction is abundantly proven by their past
success. Being so well known as careful and re
liable druggists, they do not need any special
mention on that score. Their stock of drugs Is
not surpassed In the county, and to furnish
fresh and pure drugs at a reasonable price Is
their aim and their pride. Their trade in wall
paper, of which they have an elegant stink, in
paints and oils, In mixed paints, varnishes, glass
and window shades. Is attaining unlooked for
proportions as a result of a careful selection of
these goods, and a better place to trade or to
get your money's worth is not to he found in
this aeck of the woods than at Forbes Lor
riaux's. C. M. Shaw sold E. C. Lewis, of Deer Park, 10
bushels Russian white oats.
"The roads are awful," but J. E. Porter says
be has, nevertheless, sold 20 Hoosier Broadcast

binders before July 1st.

OniTUAHT. The town of Farm Ridge, in this
county, mourns the loss of one of its oldest and
most honored citizens In the death at his home
in that town on Sunday last of Mr. John Yoccm
He had not been in robust health for several
years past, buton Sunday seemed In better health
and spirits than usual and ate a hearty dinner,
after which he satdown toenjoy his usual smoke
He was thus occupied but a few minutes, when
he dropped over dead.
Mr. Yocum was born in Chester county, Pa.
Jan. 31, 1807, where ho was married and gath
ered around him a family of children. Ia 1850,
he sold his possessions there aud gathering his
family and a few indispensables into a two horse
wagon started on a journey westward, stopping
finally in the town of Farm Ridge, in this conn
ty, whero he bought a farm of Bishop Chase,
upon which he settled and remained until his
death. His wife died some years ago, and all
his children being grown up and married, the
old roan was without anxiety or care for kith or
kin aud ripe for his departure. Having been
from his youth up a member of the Episcopal
church and ever mindful of his duties a such,
his life was an exemplification In practice of his
Christian faith. He was a main-stay of the little
church In Farm Ridge, to whom his loss is lrre
parable. Ills funeral, In spile of the wretched
weather and condition of the roads, wus one of
the largest ever witnessed iu the town.
Messrs. Child A Phlpps have opened the spring
trade with new Invoices of all classes of goods to
be found In a first class boot and shoe house.
While the stock contains all grudes of goods and
Is calculated to meet all the demands of this
county, It is also particularly rich In ladies',
mioses', children's and gent's shoes. These lines
are full and kept up with tho demands. Prices
on all goods cannot be found lower elsewhere,
no matter where they are at the bottom.
Burke Bros, are enjoying a good grocery trade
iu their new store, selling lots of goods very
chvap. They have a fuw more of those fine po
tatoes, imported from Scotland, and next week
expect a car load from Ireland.
The City Mills which have been turning out
most excellent flour, have lately added new ma
chinery, so that their flour is now better than
ever. The famous "Gilt Edge" sells at $3.70 and
their " Spring Wheat" at $3.00-very low for
such grades.

On last Friday evening a very amusing enter
talnment by local amateurs was given at the Hap
tist church, under the nume of "Pcake Sisters"
pretty young ladles In poke bonnets! The rest
may be Imagined.
At the Presbyterian church, on Thursduy eve
ning, the young ladies gave a musigal and liters
ry entertainment, followed by a supper. The
whole ailalr was most pleasant in every way.
At the Opera House on the same evening Chas.
Forbes' company trave "Black Diamonds" in
prcXty good style. The play is too much worn
to draw many people here, and the house was
light, though enthusiastic enough.
On the same evening the Rink for roller-skat
Ing was thrown open, and a large number of
skaters were present, enjoying the exercise, to
music of Fitzgerald's band.
Ou last evening Janauscbek gave hulij .ltii-
bth, to a fine audience.

On Monday night the Boston Comedy Compa
ny give Marble's "Furnished Rooms." The play
is one of the funniest things on the road; and
now for the first time Is in the hands of a compa
ny tit to think of. The star is Pattl-Rosa, a
charming little English soubrette, who has made
lately such a striking success at Koster A Rial's
famous concert hall In New York City, appearing
there first on the W.tth night of the house, Jan. 22
Pattl-Rosa is sure to be a success here. She is
pretty, dresses in excellent taste, and Is, besides,
unique, merry, picturesque, thoroughly clever,
graceful, charming, and at the same time en
dowed with an inexhaustible spirit of humor.
Her voice is a sweet mezzo soprano. Her talent
is unquestioned; and we think her one of the
cleverest soubrettes we have ever seeu. The rest
of the company Is first-class, and Monday eve
ning's entertainment will certainly be an enjoy
able one.
If you want a bargain in canned goods, now is
