Tlic fiict tlmt Gov. Calloni is lulvertised
to ninko n stump speech iu this city on
Friday evening naturally raises the ques
tion, what brings lum here ? Congressman
Cullen is in no danger, nor can anything
the Governor may say have much Influence
or the result in this county, cither as to
legislative candidates or local offices. The
truth however is, that Gov. Cullom is not
concerned about any local tickets, but is
making a big state canvass in his own be
half, to work up his "boom" for the sue
censorship to the seat of David Davis in
the United States Senate. The contest,
among the republicans lor tho attainment
of that prize is virtually narrowed dowu to
Cullom and Kaum. Tnc latter is the
present commissioner of internal revenue
at Washington, but finds his duties thcro
of so little account that he is able to spond
most of his time looking after his fences
iu Illinois, lie Is conceded to be distinctly
and emphatically the caudidate of the dis
tillers and rectifiers of the state, and his
candidacy is for the purpose of securing a
reduction of the whisky tax, and an lmU rJ
niie extension ot the bonded period. Gov.
Cullom, on the other hand, though In the
republican sense "conservative" on the
whiiky question, naturally stands squarely
opposed to that interest and is relentlessly
opposed by it in return. Thus while in re
ality his miss'.n hero on Friday evening
will be to enlist the temperance interest in
his behalf, it will be cutious to uote how
adroitly, in the present republican fanhion
of hypocritically doging that question, he
will be able to nuke a damaging speech
against ll.ium and his whisky ring and
yet not even mention the subject of whisky
or temperance.
HOME DEFAMATION.
The Elgin -ltitwife, after carelully read
ing the luminous columns ot a portion of
Juliet's daily press, (God save tho mark!)
is no doubt justified in the following rep
resentatiou of the municipal condition ot
that city:
According to some of her newspapers
tho city of Joliet is in a bad way. Iler
mayor Is a drunken bummer, the superin
tendent of streets is continually intoxicated
(and the only part of his duties he attends
to is the drawing ol his salary), her city at
torney is au associate of the lowest dregs
of humanity, and about nil of the munici
pal officers are anything but a credit to the
city. With such a chief executive and as
istants, of course the police aro moral i
recks, and, as fur as law and order vn'
... w -w , - uo k pre-.
tend to do their duty. The mob reign su
preme under tho existing administration,
and the situation is anything but pleasant
for the deceut people of the city. The lat
ter element have the righting of things,
however, and it is not unlikely that they
will right them with a vengeance one of
thee days.
It is needless to say that, though a fair
rellex of a portion of the local pre?s, this is
a shameless libel. Wo happen to know
mayor Porter, and that so far from being
a "drunken bummer" he is a strictly tem
perate man and a gentleman of culture nnd
refinement. City attorney Meers, it is al.
most needless to say, is also a gentleman of
unexceptionable habits and above reproach ;
while no citizen of Ottawa who lias had
occasion to spend a day or more in Joliet
will testify otherwise than that its police
appear to be as well appointed and as fith.
ful in the discharge of their duties, main
taining as good public ordor as are found
in any other city in the state ot the same
size. There is a great deal of rivalry and
striving after sensation among the six or
eight daily newspapers ( ?) ot Joliet, nnd
defamation of tlic local authorities Feems
to be a convenient resort to excite attention
and sell papers. But the practice is surely
tlic opposite of reputable journalism, must
be hurtful to tlic city, ami tho people must
be singularly forbearing to tolerato It.
The Illinois State lioard, which has ben
quietly in session for a month or two past
in Springfield, has abont completed iu la
bors. Its lust action was to adopt the ro-
port of the committee on the assessment of
railroad property. The aggregate assess
ment of railroad property in the stato for
1882 is increased about $5,000,000. The
total number of miles of railroad in this
state is 7,5;!;), the assessed valuo of which
is fixed at $50,727,530. The Chicago and
Alton, 5G2 miles, is valued at 5,81 1,070;

The authorship ot the Infamous Morey
letter lias at Iimt been discovered by John
I. Davenport, who for tn-o years has
followed on the trail of tho defamers of
Garfield. The document was penned by
II. II. Iladley, a renegade republican, who
imposed it on W. II. Harnum, chairman
of the democratic national committee in
the campaign of 1880. As the letter really
represented Garfield's honest sentiments on
the subject at the time, it never amounted
to much anyhow.

La Sallo Tiiki't; "Tho body of Christian
Peterson was found in tho Illinois river,
at tho boat yard, at Peru, Thursday morn-
Ing. Tho deceased has lived in La Salle
ftir omo years, and was an industrious
man, but somewhat of au oddity. lie had
lately separated from his wife, and would
make application tor divorco at the next
session of court. It wa probably a case f
suicide."
A new bank called the "City National"
is to be opened in La Salic soon.
Streator Eay iVo: "A strange accident
happened on Friday forenoon nt liobert
Harwell's shaft, just south of town, whh'h
resulted in serious injury to his son, Hurt,
a youth of about 15 years. Something gave
way at tbc top of the gin just as a loadod
enr was being hoisted to the surface. The
gin toppled over, the cage tell back down
the shaft, and there was a general snuu
up. Tho boy was struck just back of the
ear by the falling drum, or some other
heavy body, an 1 when his father found him
he was quivering as it in the last agony.
Dr. Taylor was summoned, who found llie
youth unconsious, and sutVering from a
severe concussioii of the brain. Sueh cast s
are always grave, and though the symptoms
are hopeful, it will require the lapse of
four or five days to pronounce the patient
out of dancer."
Tho new Streator hotel has been leased
at $2,5(k) a year for live years, exclusive ot

A horse and buggy belonging to Michael

Earlvillo l.tunhr: "The work of laying
the track for the new railroad is fat be

track has been hud to Little Indian Creek,
about three miles, and on Friday List the
construction train arrived nnd commenced
work south of this place. At present they
have finished about two inik-s of track. In
two weeks it is expected that cars can run
from here to Sheridan direct."
Joliet Jiipul'lic: "On Tuesday a woman
camo from Ottawa to make trouble between
Ed. Whitney, driver lor J. M. Preston, the
coal dealer, and his newly married wife,
formerly Miss Kiltie ilaJgely, of Mississ
ippi avenue. They were in the midst oi
their honeymoon. The strange woman
announced herseli with a dramatic flour
lsh to be Mrs. Whitney No. 1. The feel
ings of the newly made wife may be im

divorce obtained last August for adultery,

man and is respected by all who know
him."
Dr. James Adair, a man known all over
the county, died suddenly m Mendota ou
Thursday lash A Mendota correspondent
f the TrihnM sends the follow ing, which
will be lateresting to many ol his acquaint
ances throughout the county:
He was a native of Ohio, and graduating
early he went to Philadelphia, where he
obtained his medical degree. When still
quite a young man he came west ami com
menced the practice of medicine at Homer,
i1 taStnSJArJ5V teinV'tfie great
clues of the west. After the death of the
doctor's wile he relinquished the practice
of medicine from scrupulous convictions,
and the various enterprises he entered irto
since are numerous, and, though attended
with tho reverse of success, some of them
wero most remarkable, and achieved much
notoriety for th inventor not only in this
country, but in England. Dr. Adair was
the sole originator in ltG7 of the Green
back movement, which led to to much cor
respondence at the time between him and
Horace Greeley. As will be remembered,
a political party was organized, and Geo.
W. Meuior, of Illinois, and William G.
Walter, of Pennsylvania, were voted for as
President and Vice President. The object
of the organization was to pay the nation
al debt. In an interview a few years sine
on this subject the most remarkable theory
on record, though Utopian in a political
sense, was unfolded and reduced to man
uscript by your correspondent. Tho doc
tor was author of a system of stenography
which is often referred to by authorities
ofnoteocthat subject. He also latp-red
tor years to reform the orthography of the
tnglisti language, favoring the phonetic
system as the basis of change. Ho invent
ed a ratchet or lock of much simplicity of
design to prevent bolts, etc., on railroads
from getting loose. It is stated that they
are on trial at present on sonic of our lead
ing lines.
Tlie Doctor has of late been very poor.
He once applied to the Hoard ot Super
visors for aid basing his claim on his ser
vices to the world as a greenbacker. Aid
was refused, and his living since has been
quite precarious, the introduction of his
system of orthography occupying all bis
time and energies, his aim being to have il
taught in the schools and adopted as the
authorized system of writing and spelling.
He was much liked by all who knew him
upright in the extreme, a man whose word
was reliable to the last, of much culture
and general information. Hut being rather
eccentric in some things, he was regarded
as a man of hobbies. In the absence of a
post-mortem examination his death can
enly be attributed to natural causes. The
deceased was buried at Homer yesterday,
where he had taken the precaution a few
years since to erect a tombstone setting
forth his views on the subject of money.
There is nothing Iikl it on earth.

The predictions a few years ago that the
ruh into cattle rail ing in Tcxns and on
tho Western plains, nnd the hog ctn.e that
sfemed to have seized the corn states of tho
West, would foon so bring down the prices
us to make both rattlo and hog raising a
losing business, have not been verified. On
tho contrary, the production of both is
rapidly falling behind the demand. Says
l!ie Chicago Tril'iuu:-
The best beeve.i arc now selling in Chi
cago (or seven cents per pouud on foot, and
tins best sv. me for ifiMo per cental. Just
three years ago SI. 70m I sti took the very
choicest cattle od'ercd in this market, mid
tin! tn.t heavy liogs were sold at f3.70, tho
advance in the price of hog being 117 per
cent., and lie, I in the price of cattle -lm -IU
percent. In . I line hist cattle sold hi this
iit.it ki t ! r s7 per cent, more than they
brought in June ls7it but in the three
years prices of pure bred breeding stock
have not generally advanced 25 per cent.
Fir.-t-class pigs of tho lu st known breeds
can be boug.'it l'urJ.'o to -o per pair, and
quiie good young Short 1 loins of pure
pedigree can I e bought for to 100.
Although the general belief H that there
is nnd has bien a tremendous "boom" up
i n Jerseys, cue can now buy Jersey bull
calves for !;M to $.")(), nud heifers for S.V)
to $pt. It is true that Aneuis and Uallo
wav cattle are non' selling tor more than
loil per cent, above the figures they could
have been bought for two or three years
ago; nnd IltTct'.irds have advanced almost
us much in the same time, but IhU fact
should not deter farmers from securing
well bred sires for their herds. Tbc rie in
value of these tki'ee breeds has not been
grater than the lulvatue in the value ot
market stock. The stockman and fanner
has never before had better opportunities
lor buying, nor stronger inducements to
buy breeding stock of pure blood with
which to improve hisca'.t'e or hogs. Those
who neglect tiicsenppot uunties w ill surely
vainly regret their error, tor breeders of
pure stock will awaken to the fact that
thev have been sollir.tr well-bred annuals
for less than their value, and prices will
rise to a luncu tngiicr range.

Tho following curious puzzle beals
t6 celebrated "13-15 -M-," and is well
wortli investigation. Take a strip of pa
per or cardboard thirteen inches long and
rive wide, tl.u i giving a surface of oixty
Jivo inchc: . Now cut this Ftrip diagonal
ly, as true as you can, giving two pieces
in tho shape ofatnauglc. Now measure
exactly five inches from tho largest end of
each Mnp and cut in two pii cci. Take
these strips nnd put them into tlie shape
of an exact square, and it will appear to be
eight inches each way, or sixty-four inch
es a loss ot one square inch of superflu
ous measurement, with no diminution of
surlace. The question is, what became of
that inch Krchai.ije.

Mr. Georgo Holtman, ot Onondaga
county, New York, has raised about 5tW
Imshels of potatoes to the aero this year.
William Cannon, of tho same neighbor
hood, raised 5011 bushels to tho acre. Mr.
A. M. Williams, who visited these farmers,
writes of the former's field :
Ho dug a few hills lo show me. The
first contained twenty-one potatoes, only
two too small for market, und most of them
very large. They were planted in drills
from six inches to ono fot in the row, and
rows three feet apart ami two eyes in a
pluife. Many of iheso hills, he tells me,
will contain twenty six potatoes, most of
them very large: In fact most of the hills
he dug to show me did not contain a single
potato too small for market. The varieties
are Chicago Mnrkit, Vermont and Early
Ohio: thelast (lie earliest. Thce crops,
far beyond anything I ever saw before, are
on muck land; our greatest crops hero are
growu upon muck.
Hut tho great crops are not, ns I think,
duo to any natiio richness ot tlie muck ; if
potatoes 'are planted oa muck before it is
prepared, the result is small potatoes and
few in a lull. To get this muck land in
condition to produce a maximum crop
takes about tlye years. The laud is drained
nud heavily manured, and thoroughly
worked each year. It is astonishing to
see what an amount of manure is worked
into an acre of this land. The only fertil
izer used Is barn yard manure. At the end
of about tive years this land is a bed of
manure. The niucK dilutes it and keips
it iu good condition, but the manure is
thoroughly mixed, and the grow ing plant
finds its lood in abundance in a condition
exa-Mly adapted to its wants. Having
made examinations from the Atlantic coast
to tho Mississippi,! have nowhere seen
such thorough cultivation of the soil as in
the Onondaga Valley. After a quarter of
a century's observation, which should tench
me better, 1 cannot get rid of tlie idea that
these men use too much manure. They
often make me think of what Willis Gay
lord used to say: "With manure 1 can do
everything: without it, nothing."
No novelist ever devised a more intense,
ly dramatic and pitiful si;uuiion than was
witnessed last wvik beside tin track of the
Southern Pacific Coast railroad near Ala
meda, California. There was tin accident
on the road, owing to tho sinking of a
part ot the track. The engine was over
turned, and the fireman, Dan Driscoli,
was caught by two iron bars, ouo of w hich
crossed his breast and llie other one his
feet. He was not severely injured by this,
but the bars held him inextricably fast,
and meantime, on both sides of the track
which at this point lies on u low trestle
bridge built across a long stretch, of marsti
land, the salt tide p.mnug i:i from the Day
of San Francisco was rapidly lising. It
was evident that unless speedily reino ed
he would be drowned. Six men labored
with desperate energy to save him. Tliey
wrapped sheets about his body and cxerti 1
their combined strength to pull him from
ocneaih the bars that pinned him to the
track. He cried piteou-ly that they were
killing him. They tried again and again
but without avail. A hvie was bui.t
around his head to keep the water from
reaching h:ui. Duckets were brought,
and as the water oozed it was t. ailed out.
Then they raised his head and held it as
high as possible above the water. IVr
two hours these labors were ceasele-sly
continued, but at the end ot that time the
levee broke, and the friends of the doomed
man found that they could do no more for
him. The water "ro.-e vapidly about his
body and reached his chin. Then all
caught hold of him nud tugged desperate
ly, but in vain. A fiiend'heid his hand
over the unfortunate man's mouth, but
the water roso to his nostrils, nnd ho was
drowned in the presence of the helpless
crowd.
Very many are complaining of "Unght's
Disease." For r science has discovered
no remedy. Tho Ilockford 11,'qUUv relates
pie and anvono sufTermjr with thedisea.-o
might test its virtues. The IU fiUr says
that James U. Dai tlet, of New Miiford, a
few weeks ago was almo-t dying with
Dright's disease; in tact he was pro
nounced incurable and was reduced to a!,
most a skeleton. Some of his friends re.
commended to him the following remedv.
Take sweet cider and place in it a lot of
old nails, iron hoops, spikes, nnd let It
stand until the cider has absorbed abund
ance of tho iron rust, then drink four or
five glasses daily. Mr. IJartlett followed
out the peculiar prescription to tho litter,
and the result has been marvelous. Color
has returned to his cheek, flesh to his
limbs, and to all appearances he is rapidly
regaining health and is in a fair way for
perfect recovery.
Don't condemn a good thing because you
have been deceived by worthless nostrums.

Protect trte IVuiiut,
The tariff commission, which has found
its way down into North Carolina, has
maile the important discovery that peanuts
and chalk are iu serious peril unless the
duty ou these articles is increased. Eng
land, it seems, is sending us large quanti
ties of chalk, while Africa is competing
with us in the production of the American
luxury of peanuts. It is of course an out
rage that English chalk and African pea
nuts should dare to invade our markets,
but such, unhappily for the chalk men and
tho peanut raisers. Is tlie fact. If pig iron
is protected, why not peanuts? There
is not a political convention, a circus or a
street car in the country in which the
American peanut has not inade itself heard
and felt. Thousands and thousands of the
countrymen of Columbus peddle it and
millions of Americans munch it in public
nnd In private. We are glad that tho far
ill' commission has nt last grappled with
the peanut question. If it fdiall solve the
problem whether the American peanut has
any rights which the African peanut is
bound to respect it will nave accomplished
a great and useful task. At last the coun
try has found out what the tariff commis
sion was instituted for tho protection of
peanuts. A". V. IIcrnM.

James Ccatty, of Huntington, N. Y., lias
a well on his premises that seems to b"
both a curiosity and a puzzlo. The well
is twenty-three feet tleep, and it is said thai
it Is dry everv year from January 1 to the
first week in Maich as regular as the days
of the year. It will be as full the day be
fore it dries up as at any time (luring the
year, and ou tho following morning not a
drop is lo be seen, where a depth of three
or four fcetcxisted before. About the first
week in March the well fills again in a
few moments and continues so Jor tho re
mainder of the year.
A few days ago a lady who resides near

She continued her investigation and soon
collected forty, which wero strewn promis.

dated between 120 and 127. How they
came there is a mystery.
