L VERY AND FEED STABLE Bargain Time. We cannot add much to our previous an noiinccnients of the programme at II. J. Gil leu's during the present month. We can on ly insist that those w ho want genuine bur gains In all lines of seasonable dry goods- dress j-oods of all sorts and descriptions, mid summer dress goods, parasols, fans, cVc, that II. J.Gillex is now offering greater induce incuts to purchasers than any house in the city. We are not trying to say line things "puffs" in other words but are stating the facts in the case. The entire summer stock is being closed out at genuine and marked reductions from former low prices, and the bargains are to be had by those who want them. Some special attention should be paid by buyers to the shoe department. The stock is full, very choice, and full of every desirable line of goods for this season. This stock, too is included in the closing out sale, and will be offered at reductions of very material per cent. The cash grocery continues to offer the low est cash prices on all goods. In all departments there is a general redue tion to close the summer stock, and all arc invited to call. . The Streator Free Press this week changed hands in part, Mr. A. H. Van Skiver, of We- nona, having purchased the interest of Mr Fornof. The politics of the paper will contin ue to be republican. We are not acquainted with Mr. Van S., but us ho Is vouched for by the late senior partner and also Mr. Hoge, his present partner, we extend the hand of wel come. The Free. Pnxx is one of the best pa pers in Illinois, newsy, clean, dignified, a paper which proves, what some deny, that a country paper can be newsy without becom ing u sewer. Mr. Fornof w ill be missed by the fraternity of this county, and we regret his withdrawal. A grand re-union of Soldiers and Sailors will be held at Chicago on August 20, 27, 28 and 20, 1SS4, under the auspices of the Re. union Association of the Northwest. The Chicago Driving Park has been secured, and arrangements are being made for the accom- niodatioii and entertainment of forty thousand veterans. The programme will be interest ing, and will include regimental meetings of Illinois soldiers, and meetings of soldiers of other states. A full stock of Cincinnati buggies just in at J. E. Porter's. There is an epidemic prevalent in this city which is closely allied to the w hooping cough. It attacks adults ns well as children. The funeral of I. II. Fredenburg, on Sunday last, was very largely attended by the ac quaintances and friends of this early settler. Earl Post G. A. R. attended in a body, accom panied by the band. A business man calls attention to the fact that the gutters around the square arc all nicely cleaned on each Friday evening and the debris carried away by the city team, but, like the model cow that gives a good pail of milk only to kick it over, early Saturday morning the army of store clerks sweep all the floor dirt from the stores Into the gutters, leaving them about as they were before the cleautng operation began. The point taken is a good one, and it Is to be hoped a change in the sweeping syotetu may be inaugurated. Clean Up. In view of the fact that Asiatic cholera may make its appearance in America before winter the Illinois State Board of Health ask of the public a general inspection of the state, that all nuisances may be removed. Especial at tention should be paid, it is urged, to Firnt: The condition of the water supply. Heenml: The disposition of night soil, gar. oage anu sewage. Thin!: The cleansing of streets, alleys and other public places. Fourth: The supervision of food supplies, and of market places, slaughter houses and similar establishments. Fifth: The general sanitation of every house and its surroundings. 1. Water is one of the commonest me diums through winch cholera spreads; but. aside from this, typhoid and malarial fevers. diarrhea, dysentery and other discsses, Bre caused by impure and polluted water. Hence the necessity of protecting the supply from contamination by surface washings and drain, age of tllthy soil or premises, or by seepage through the ground from privy vaults, cess pools, etc. 2. Night soil, garbage, sewage, and all other forms of decomposing organic matter, are highly preludieal to health, and their foul odors are indications of danger. The various met nous lor their proper disposal, so as to render them harmless, are well understood, and should be enforced according to the vary, ing conditions of each locality. 3. Clean streets and alleys, and gutters firoperly drained and kept free from unsight y and filthy accumulations, are of even great er importance during the heat of summer, than at other times. The healthy condition of the atmosphere of a locality largely de pends upon the condition of its thor ighfares. 4. l lie rapid decomposition of mosl am ies of food during hot weather the tainting. souring, wilting or rotting processes and the derangements of the stomach and bowels caused by the use of such food, indicate the necessity for special supervision ai tins lime, of all food supplies, ana of the places where they are prepared, stored, or disposed of. 5. The foundation of healthy living is, ob vlously, the individual home and its surround ings. Houses, cellars, yards and out-buildings should be carefully inspected, and all ac- umulations of garbage, refuse and filth of ev ery description should be removed, or, where this Is not practicable, they should Be ren dered harmless by appropriate treatment. No House or premises can be neaitny wimoui proper drainage. If this is not secured by sewers or underground drains, then recourse should be had to surface drains, so as to pre vent the possibility of stagnant water under the dwelling or in its vicinity. Cellars should be dry, clean and well ventilated, so that they may not generate foul air to be drawn up through the house. A Great Discovery. Mr. Win, Thomas, of Newton. Ia., says: "My wife has been seriously affected with a cough for twenty-five years, and this spring more severely than ever before, one naa usea many remedies without relief, and being urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery, did so, with most gratifying results, lue nrsi bottle relieved her very much, and me second bottle has absolutely cured her. She has not hail mi trnod health fur thirtv rears." Trial bottles free at Lutz & Briggs' Drug Store. Large size fl.VU. Attractive Attractions. The Ikujliyht will adopt a new ami ecouoinl cal method of selling goods for the purchaser Two days In the week shall bo set apart, In which a special article w ill be sold at am half its actual cost. This is a want that has long been felt by the trading community, and of course the jMiyliyht was the first to see to it So bear in mind Saturday next, July 1'.), it will be gtoties, jtew, itown, iluwn; so gather up your small and large change and make for the Dny!itttt at Fohhes it Flick's Judging from the reports lu thcChlcago papers, the Streator delegation to the military encampment, at Kockford, as in other years have made nuisances of themselves, ami brought discredit upon their regiment. The subjoined is a sample, and other specimens might be given: " Upon return from the town tit half-past 11 last night the Fourth Regiment Band, of Streator, played 'March Ing Thro' Georgia,' Teek-a-Boo,' 'Wait Till the Clouds Roll By,' 'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,' 'God Save the Queen,' 'Noreen Moreen,' 'Kil larney,' 'Yankee Doodle,' 'The Old Oaken Bucket,' and sixteen other selections. They then cheered Individually for Gen. Fltz Simons, his staff, four colonels, eight majors, and twenty-three cooks. . Each cheer was aecomdanled by discordant blasts from the brass pieces and nn infernal din with the cym bals. At this point an oflieer and file of men from the guard put a stop to the racket. Th band makes a nuisance of itself." ricNic. The Glass Blowers' picnic in Hoes' grove on Tuesday was a pleasant affair. The attendance was good and an interest maintain ed throughout the day and evening. Walter Carpenter, of South Ottawa, won the first prize a silver cup and Mr. Stevenson the second a 6ilver medal in the boat race. Fi nanciaily, however, the success was limited. The glass-blowers know how to entertain a crowd, but their amusements cost money in the way of prizes, so that, although the re ceipts were liberal, the expenses ate them up. The boys expect to give another picnic on August 15th, uud It is hoped the public will not make it a Jive entertainment again, hut lend the boys some substantial support, to which two free entertainments in the past fairly entitles them next time. The Greenback convention on Tuesday re sulted in the appointment of the following delegates: To state convention, H. J. Wood, Win. Worslcy, J. S. Armstrong, A.Campbell and I). Westgate; to congressional convention, J. S. Ariustrohg, Thomas Gartsidc, Win. Heinmau, John McLaughlin, J. R. Miller, Jos. A. Dixon, S. R. Wicks, David Riehey, John Dougherty, George E. Glass and H.J. Wood. "Melisii." On Monday Company I), of Ottawa, started via the Burlington road for the brigade encampment at Roekford. -.Capt. Blanchjird was in command, taking with him 45 men. Company I (La Salle), R. D. Mc Donald captain, with 40 men, were transferred at this point from the Rock Island. Company A, of Streator, with Atkins' baud, and Com pany C, oi Wenona, and Lieut. Col. t'atcli were also on the train. At Aurora they were joined by the balance of the 4th regiment and Col. Bennett, of Juliet, where the cttmiuand was formally organized in military order by rail to the encampment grounds at Roekford. The democratic ratification meeting at Streator on Tuesday evening was a great sue- ess. The park was lighted by 20 electric ights, and an immense crowd was present. Col. Cameron, of Chicago, senator Duncan, J. O'Connor, J. H. Eckels, W. Gentleman, Geo. Blake and others were the speakers. City Council. The adjourned meeting of the city council on Tuesday evening ratified the contract with the gas company which expires the first of May next, and also made the following appro priations for the year: Fof the payment of city debt 8,4o0.07 Poliee 3110.00 Gas 3,iHo.oo Sewerage 3,5no.00 Public improvement S.ouu.no Fire department S.ono.OO Salaries 9,4!rM)o Contingent 4.tMNl.00 Total .:$ ,iV.y.6 On a week from next Monday the iMmncrat Prr, of La Salle, will begin its career as a daily. It has been a matter of wonder that such a paper has not before this put in an ap pearance there. No town in this county of fers so tempting a field. It will be well filled, however, with a daily Drin.-Pre. The corn reports to the state Board of Agri culture, with dates to July 1st, gives encour agement for a larger crop than Illinois has had for several years. There has probably never been a better prospect for corn than is now seen on all the tile drained farms in cen tral and northern Illinois. La Salle's average coudition Is put at 104 At the same time last year it was SO; in 1VQ, 71. It is for July 3 points better than at June 1. Vicinity Items. John Arthur's little girl fell from a ham mock on last Friday night at Streator and broke the collar bone. The Streator bottle works have put out the fires preparatory to building and enlarging. The works will be started again in about tw o weeks. Fire has already been started in the new tank furnace. The officers of the Aurora cotton mill com pany expect to have all their machinery in readiness to commence running about the 1st of August, but the mill will not start up be fore the first of September, and most likely later, owing to the present high price of cot ton. Fawcctt Plumb, who has devised a plan for making glass shingles, has had patterns made and Thursday week they made an experimen tal trial to see how ihey would work. The trial was fairly successful, and gives great en couragement to thoe who witnessed it that the plan will be a success. Personal. -Misss Kate D. Jordan is at Jou DAX tol, R. I.

Weis, of this city, former cor oner, will again he a candidate before the epublican county convention for the same oltlce. The election of the Doctor would be a great convenience to Ottawa newspa per men; but we have made up our mind we shall have to depend two years more on the good nature of Dr. Clemlenin. u Marseilles Plainthtder: "Some one should tell Colonel Plumb to beware of his home organs. The amount of gush tney are peiiiuing would upon even an honorable man's chances. When such men as John A. Logan, Senator C'ullom, John Wentwortli, Carter Harrison and men of their genius fall to push through the Hennepin canal, the Idea that Plumb, with no experience in alie matter, and tuiiuroad man, which means bitter enmity to every. tiling of the canal nature, will accomplish wonders for the canal, Is the veriest bosh. On the face of it, the Colonel's interests are all against the canal." It is fine of the glorious privileges of the newspaper of a town to foster one or other sides of all the squabbles of a public or pri vate nature. They are rather expected to do so. If a man's cow gets out of pasture and runs the streets, it is the newspaper's business to raise a row, impound' the beast, or "make it so hot" for the police that they'll graciously fall to, and hunt her up. If John Jones givea John Smith a black eye, the newspaper is expected to prove that Smith was right or net vmn. If a saloon remains open all night to accommodate a party of roisterers, whether official or mere civilians, the public expect the newspaper to arrest the guilty parties and bring them to justice. And so on through the whole cate gory of public and private sins and misde meanors. Now we don't believe in that sort of thing. This city hires police for certain duties. If they don't do them, it is the council's business to see that they do. They are the men paid for doing disagreeable things of that kind, and as one of the pub lic we will so far as we are concerned expec them to do it and not shove work they don' like to do over to our shoulders. There is some reason for believing they are trying to doit now. If they have not sufficient back hone to perform their duties let the city hire some one who has: and not pay the police as ornaments while civilians have to do their dirty work. An End to Bona Scraping. F.dward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., nays: "Having received so much benefit from Elec tric Bittern, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the twine scraped or leg amputated. I ycd, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters vid seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Saive, and my if g is now sound and well." Eicctrle Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bot tle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 25c. per box by Lutz & Briggs. LADIES Should drop in at the DAYLIGHT TO-DAY And see Bargains in GLOVES! GLOVES!

Mayor Allen has issued the fol lowing: Now Is the time to cut the weeds, before the seeds are scattered for a next year's crop. In the interest of health and the good appear ance of our city, In which we are all equally interested, the citizens are urgently requested to cut and destroy the weeds arouud their ireiniscs and remove all matter of an unheal hy nature. A little time spent by each Lroo- erfy holder will tend to beautify our city and add to the value of their property. h.. C. ALLEX, Mayor. In many parts of the city, especially the suburbs, weeds are growing rank. But .it will be a difficult matter to have non-rcsideut owners attend to this request, even If they would. But, so far as possible, it is to bo hoped that the citizens will heed this matter and cut the weeds before the seeds for next ycor are deposited.
