That Insurance.
It ha been reported that I have received
tl.OOO from the Commercial Union Assurance
Company, London, to cover my losses occa
stoned by the tire in the Rcddick block. This
is not trne. My goods were mostly taken out
and scattered over the street and deposited
hore and there. I made an estimate of what
I knew to have beon burned, but I could not
prove what were burnt and what were lost
or stolen. The Insurance company allowed
me $157 for what was burnt and added $50
"for my honesty," as the "adjuster" Imperil
nently said. This made $'J07 out of about
$500 which I should have received. The
amonnt received was no sort of recompense
for the loss, to say nothing of my time and
bolng thrown out of business, and rendered
houseless aud homeless, too! Until further
notice I will be found in the basemont of the
Clifton hotel, southwest corner.

Obituary.
Horace J. Brimhall, one of the oldest,
most widely known and highly honored of
the early settlers In the northern part of this
county, died suddenly last Saturday evening
at his home one mile west of Milliugton, lu
bis 73d year. He had been as well as usua
until Wednesday, when he had a chill, but
ho was not regarded as in any danger uutil
Saturday, wheu ho began to sink rapidly and
before evening peacefully passed away.
Mr. Hrimhall had coma to Illinois away
back iu the forties from Dearborn connty, In
dlana, and with his wife and children settled
on the farm where he died, his wife and two
children remaining at tho old home, while
five children are married and have homes of
their own. Though not possessed of great
wealth, ho leaves those dependent upon him
in very comlortablo circumstance.
Few men in La Salle county were more
widely known or held in higher esteem. He
was a man of sterling Integrity, of warm and
generous impulses, of more than average
general Information, a good talker, agreeable
and companionable. Though by no means
bigoted in his polities, he was a life-long de
mocrat, and since its origin an activo and In
fluential member ef the Ancient Order of
Husbandry. We believe he never held any
public office outside of his township, though
tho county has often sent men bis inferiors in
Intelligence both to the legislature and to
congress.

That the closing out sale at J. Mcgaffln's is
