DEPARTMENT
A New Department Added.
The trade at H. J. Gillen's has for some
time past called for the addition of a new de
partment there, but it has been delayed for
want of space. Haying, by economiiing
room, secured the spaoe necessary, Mr.
Oillen this week adds the department, to.
wit, a complete line of ladies' and gents'
trunks, travelling bags, &c. Among other
goods, this new line (which comes direct
fram the manufacturers in all cases) contains

of travelling satchels, ladies' and gents

A bad runaway took place on yesterday
morning on the West Side, resulting in se
vere injuries to Fred' k Leopold, a farmer.
While passing the derrick of the artesian
well diggers near the Harry Clark place the
horse became frightened at the machinery
(which ought to be enclosed but is not) and
the noise. At the culvert the buggy upset.
Mrs. Leopold seems to have escaped injury
but Mr. L. was badly cut in the head and
otherwise hurt. Dr. Place dreised the
wounds and sent him home. Before being
topped the horses knocked down a part of
Lorriaux's fence and hit Sherman Leland's
buggy containing two little boys, but hurt
no one.

Look Outt
Or you will get burned. Kendall is making
preparations to handle more stoves this fall
than ever before. He has contracted for a
large number of novelties and emphatically
desires the public to understand he wants to
see and talk with them before they buy. If
you want a nice little east iron bed room
stove cheap you can find it at Kendall's. If
you want a sheet iron heater for hard coal,
that is the place to look for it. If you want
an elegant and efficient wood heater, you
will miss it if you don't interview Kendall.
If you want a stove to look fine, cost little,
burn hard coal and heat a doublo store or
some room especially large (on 4 tons of coal)
you will "hate your relations" if you don't
go right oft" to Kendall and leave your or.
dcr. Finally, if you want a BASE BURN
ER for hard coal that is conceded the most
symmetrical, the handsomest, tho most econom
ical, the stronyrst heater, tho most convenient
for handling, the most popular, ami one that
passed through last winter vithont being
"found wantiny" in any respect, you will
cast your vision above ' common" things and
there, towering above and in advance of all
its kind, its brilliant beauty rejecting like a
beacon-light to guide and direct, you will be
hold the fairest of the fair,--its name is
"SPLENDID!"

Book-keeping is the science of recording
business transactions in a systematic man
ner. The record should be mado in brief,
concise, yet unmistakable, language An
erroneous impression prevails that double
entry is intricate, and beyond the compre
hension of many. Tlio truth is, any person
of fair, average intelligence and elocution
can acquire a knowledge of the science.
That knowledge, however, must bo practical,
not theoretical. As well might a person at
tempt to run a steam engine after reading a
text book in relation to its construction, as
to keep a set of books in double-entry iu ac
cordanco with the theoretical instructions of
a so-called business college. Business men
will "none of it." It is an undeniable fact
that young men after graduating at one of
these institutions, at great expense, are
obliged to place themselves under the in
structions of a competent book-keeper in or
der to become proficient. Mr. Oliver Cor
nell, of this city, has commenced the organ
ization of classes, with a view of instructing
ladies and gentlemen in the science, as prac
ticed in mercantile and other business estab
lishments. Being an accountant of many
years' experience, his teachings will qualify
them in any branch of business. His rooms
are in the opera houso block.

The Heywood Mastodons drew a crowded

gave a good entertainment ; the fact is,
they gave the best performance in their line

The laws of this state allowing the slaugh
ter of prairie chickens begin just one month
too soon. The open season commences so
long in advance of other states that it causes
hunters of every class to invade Illinois.
The law should be amended. The birds at
this season of the year are not strong enough
on the wing to escape, and an entire flock
can be slaughtered as easily as a flock of
tame fowls in a barnyard. The true sports
man is always willing to give the birds a
chance. Shooting in the middle of August
means annihilation. The law should be
changed as to make at least Sept. 1st the
legal time for hunting this gme, and it
would be better if the change be as much in
conformity to the laws of adjoining states as
possible. As the law now stands )it will not
take many years before the prairie chicken
is fwept from the fields. Many of the hunt
ers will start as early as the 1st of August,
when, in place of a gun, they should carry
along a club to kill the birds. Every true
sportsman will reeognlie the justice of a
change in regard to this game law.
