Lewis Lewis, an old resident of Ottawa, died
at his homo on the west side on last Saturday
morning, of brain asthma, after an illness of
some weeks, in bis 78th year. He was born in
Wales, coming to America on attaining bis ma
jority, lie was for many years a resident of
Pennsylvania, and came to Ottawa from that
stato In 1SC7. He leaves a wife and family of
four grown up children. The funeral took place
on Monday afternoon, and was attended by
large number of old friends.
The work on the new city hall and engine

rapidly erected and overhauled so that the gen

A curious case of home-sickness Is reported
from Kansas. All who know our old friend Geo,
Griffith remember his coach-dog "Major," which
he took with him to Kansas. The dog It seems
Is home-sick, and remembering the cars took
him from Ottawa, he knows they should carry
him back; and George has bad quite a serious
time keeping the beast off the cars, having three
or four times been compelled to enter the cars
and take him out by force.
A petition has been largely signed by our
business men asking the Rock Island road to lay
a switch for the new brick yards and tile ana
fire clay works on the east of Fox river. The
railroad runs within four rods of the buildings
of the two firms there doing business, and
switch could be easily and cheaply constructed,
needing very little if any grading, so that the
Rock Island road can have no reasonable excuse
for refusing to grant the petition. And the de
mand is a reasonable and just one. Those fac.
tories were built there in the full belief that the
switch would be given them, according to the
promise to Messrs. Doollttlo fe Co. before the
buildings were up. Further, the owners of
those works are Ottawa men, Ublng Ottawa ca
pital. They arc endeavoring to build up Ottawa
establishments, worth as much to the railroads
as to the town perhaps, directly, more; and
the Rock Island road cannot afford to be known
to be instrumental in retarding this growth.
This clay interest Is but in Its infancy In Ottawa,
and liberal treatment by the Rock Island road
will be the means of erecting other similar cs
tablisbmcnts all of which will be located directly
on Its line of road, by which naturally all ship
ments will be made. Notwithstanding Chicago
businvss from Ottawa Is pooled with the C. B.
&Q., the Reck Island should build the switch,
since la, go quantities of this clay will go to
the west, business which will not need division.
The shipments from both establishments will
average at once five cars a day. It goes with
out saying that for less business the C. B. & Q.
road has built switches in this city costing 10
times as much money treatment which Ottawa
business men who appreciate favors are very
Slow to torget.

On last Saturday night, Edward Blackman, a
glass gatherer, of this city, attempted to board a
freight train to go to La 8a!le, where his parents
are living. He was on the north side of the
train, and had one foot on the car, when a valise
he carried In his hand striking the fence became
unmanageable and knocked his foot from the
car, and he fell under the wheels. His left leg
was crushed below the knee and his right thigh
was injured. He was carried to the Marquette
house, near by, where he died about five o'clock
on Monday morning. He was a young man of
good habits and much respected by those who
knew him. His parents, though summoned, did
not arrive In time to see him alive. The cor
oner's jury found a verdict of facts, and found no
blame attached to the railroad company.
The town of DImmick has tackled the road
problem In earnest, and the people have recently
voted the money to gravel the main roads of the
town. The work will be extended over three
years. This question of roads Is one farmers
must solve, and the sooner they approach the
subject in dead earnest the richer they will be
pecuniarily and morally.
The Esterl j,
The Esterly Twlne-Btndcr has not been long

thus far it seems to have had decidedly the pre

lot of orders for machines more by considera

Two weeks ago at a trial they sold four; and
one day this week the Mendota agent had an
Esterly in the field against the McCormlck and

Aurora Post: "Twenty-seven thousand sacks
of coffee got sea-soaked lately coming from Rio
Janeiro, and New York papers are warning pur
chasers to be careful, as barrels of copperas have
been known to be in the bold of the vessel that
carried the damaged coffees. This coffee is put
up in one pound packages by devil dare Yankees,
who give the agency to some man In almost ev
cry town. 'TIs sold to the agent for 4 cents a
package, and disposed of to his customers at 16
cts. per lb. There is a tremendous profit in this
damaged package business and consumers should
be careful. 'Tis better by far to buy your coffee
by the bulk, and out of the sack, and then from
some reliable firm who don't dabble in 1 pound1
package coffee."

Bottle Blowers Having on Friday last been
shown around Ottawa by Mr. Hull and others of
the visitors' committee of the Business Men's
Association, the bottle blowers, on Saturday
last, adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we extend to the business men
and citizens our sincere thanks for the kind man
ner in which they have received us and made it
pleasant for us during our stay In their cltv.
thereby enabling us to carry back to our homes
a pleasant remembrance of this, our first con
vention in Ottawa.
Ilesolxeil, That wo unanimously agree that the
city of Ottawa, on account of its facilities for
glass making, is destined at no distant time to
become a center of glass manufacturing.
Resolved, That we are especially indebted to
Wm. II. Hull and the Business Men's committee
for the time and courtesies they have extended
to us during our pleasant ride around the city.
Remtlveil, That these resolutions be published
In the city papers.
Private conversation with delegates has con.
vlnced us that the secoud resolution Is not mere
ly a courtesy, bnt an honest opinion founded on
observation, and so far as we can learn the dele
gates were as unanimous In expressing this opln
Ion In this public way as in private conversation";
and we feel assured in saying tbat the meeting
of these men here, and this trip around the city,
will not be without value to Ottawa. All carried
home with them samples of Ottawa glass sand.

Mr. Flske's recent visit to New York meant
something In the Interest of the proposed new
railroad. Since his return he confidently asserts
that tho road will be built, provided the right of
way can be secured, although some slight deviu
Hons In the present survey may bo necessary,
This hopeful aspect should encourage the farm

it had been beguiled Into tho parlor. "Now I
have you here 1 propose to take every drop of
your blood, but give nothing In return." A man
from Ottawa wants to go to Cincinnati, but must
go by way of Chicago, for the company here will
not sell him a ticket by tho Kankakee route. So
also If a shipper has a car of freight for the cast
let him try and secure rates via Seneca. The
result will be that It must go to Chicago, as tho

A sad case of drowning occurred In this city
on Wednesday last, about noon, the victim being
Glenn Hess, aged five years, son of C. B. Hess,
Esq., of this city. He went with his brother,
aged nine, to the fox river bridge to fish, ao
compunled by their grandfather. The latter saw
the boys safely (as ho thought) seated with their
poles on the edge of the rocks under the bridge
It is a dangerous place even for a man, doubly
so for a lad, and especially to lads so small as
these. And the grandfather could have been
gone but a few minutes when little Glenn slip.
ped from tho rock, falling Into the deep water 12
or IS feet below. Tho little fellow struggled
bravely and worked his way and was carried by
the current of the eddy as far up the rlyer as the
steps cut down to the water a couple of rods
above the bridge, where he clung to the rock
until exhausted, when ho sank. The brother
with Ralph Nickerson gave the alarm as he fell,
and trii-d to uid him with a fish pole, but rcuid
not reach him. A farmer passed by before be
saiiK and once started down the steps to rescue
tho lad, but when told tho boy had sank out of
sight made no effort to recover him. Boats were
gotten out as soon as possible, and Henry Kig
den and Will Barker began the search as swim
mers and divers. The body was not recovered
for some two hours, when it was found near the
middle of the river just above the waste-fall of
the eidecut. All efforts at resuscitation failed.
The grief of the parents, of course, cannot be
told, and the shock to Mrs. Hess, naturally nerv
ous and not In strong health, was most severe.
The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon
last. While It may not assuage their grief nor
make their loss less poignant, It may be a slight
consolation to Mr. and Mrs. Hess to know tbat
their friends and the public sorrow with them in
their afllictlon.
