This information is a little late in getting in, but it is appre ciated just the same. Tbe 43d annual meeting of the Illi nois State Teachers' association will he held in the capitol building at Springfield, Dec. 29, 30 and 31. Notices were posted in the train men's room of the C, B. & Q. at tialesburg Saturday morning, laying off 12 men in the train department. The notice states that this redaction has been made necessary by the con tinued dullness of businesp, and the Republican Register says the effect is to be general, affecting the whole system, it being the purpose to lay off all classes of trainmen by the wholesale. And McKinley is elected determination and capacity far self gor-1 eminent qualities which I should wish (or all ours. Th. Bentzon in Century. Canada' forces Wealth. The forests of Canada bare supplied more or less tne wants oi r-urope xor centuries. From the earliest days of its occupation by the French the forest wealth of the country washed by the St. Lawrence engaged the attention of the government of France, who saw there in vast resources available far its naval yards. It drew from these for ests large numbers of masts and span and issued stringent regulations for the preservation of the standing oak. When the country was first ceded to Great Britain, but little attention was paid at first to its vast timber supply, owing to tne tact mat almost the whole of the Baltic trade was carried on in British bottoms, and that the timber of north ern turope provided an unfailing and convenient return freight for the ship ping tuns engaged. When, however, the troubles of the Napoleonic era com menced, and especially when the con tinental blockade was enforced, the tim ber supplies of the Baltic becoming un certain and insufficient, attention was directed to the North American colonies, with the result of increasing the quan tity of timber which reached Great Brit ain from 2,600 tons in the year 1800 to 135,300 tons in 1810, und to 308,000 tons in 1820. In 1895 the amount ex ported to the United Kingdom showed a total oi l,310,68o tone. Northwest crn Lumberman. Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, makes the following state ment on the subject of advertising "The houses that secure fame for their business by conspicuous and persistent advertising will go on ab sorbing the trade of their competi tors who do not use that means of obtaining publicity. That is inevita ble and irresistible. Spasmodic ad vertising, or advertising in 'free de livery1 bheets, does comparatively little good, lhe paper which is taken for its own merits, and is paid for by the reader because he wants to read it, is far the best medium of advertisine-" The linuoia btevl company has started the ball of prosperity rolling toward their three or four thousand employes by a reduction of wages at the blast furnace ranging from cents to 40 cents per day. This is one of the corporations that gave to its employes so much valuable ad' vice how to vote for McKinley and prosperity, it promised, it McKin lev was elected, it would resume business at once with a full force, but it has been now nearly four weeks since tbe election, and it has not resumed yet. Many hundreds of poor men and women crowd around the gate every day expecting to see a notice posted to return to work. but instead they are met by the no tice that when they do return it will be al reduced wages. It is a fact that many of them thought best to vote for Mr. Bryan, but were met by the starvation argument from Mr. Hanna'g agitators. f Ku Wall. The Decatnr Review has been com' paring Bryan's vote in Illinois with the previous votes of successful and unsuccessful candidates, and finds that he received mote votes than did any man who ever ran previous to this year. That kind of a race need not be ashamed of Its showing. The returns show that Mr. Bryan colled i7,8'.'3 more votes than did President Cleveland i 1 1892. Bryan polled 64, S21 more votes in this state this vear than did Mr. HariUon four years ago. Ia 1S94 Mr. VVulff, republican can di late f jr treasurer, carried this stats by a plurality of 123.427. He was supposed to be running very well. YU Mr. Bryan got 18.223 more votes this year than did Mr. alii in tho landslide of two years ago. The enormous proportion of the total vote polled was the thing that did the work in this state this year Illinois polled this year nearly . i - uuo more votes man it did in the election of four Tears ago. That in :rt'a:e is enormous, probably more tasn aujDouy looaea lor. As to alilldrrn and 1es. Washington Irving has oftfn been ao- ist-d of saying that little dogs and I'lililron were influential members of ;t noli society. It is quite true that in tlie United States I never noticed that rime ami Rcntimcutal intimacy between liutuun beiuss and quadrupeds so fro luently scon in Franco. American life is so active, so desperately crowned. itlier usefully or socially, that perhaps it ilora not permit tho loss of time in t vitably brought about by friendly in tc.rcoure with a dog. As for children, I believe that their importance is equal ly great in all couutries. but it asserts itself in a more noisy manner in Amer ica than anywhere else. Everything is Faeriueca to them, for they represent me iuinre, wmcn is all that counts in ronntry whose past is very short and whose present is a period cf high pres- i-ure ueveiopnient. vet no one must suppose that, before presenting an apol tigy ior rreucn children, I intend to malign American children, as certain travelers have taken tbe liberty of doing very thoughtlessly, although ther had met them only on steamships, cars or at hotels, enjoying a holiday with that buoyancy which ia the characteristic mark of tho whole race. I have known wnie who were very well brousht in. oven from our point of view, and among tnose wnowere not l nave admired pre cocious sense,, vivacity of mind, ouiet Keen Foundations. A new way of constructing a solid foundation for a tall building has been tried with success in Berlin. It was necessary to find a solid base sufficiently strong to carry a building weighing more than 10,000 tons. The clot of ground upon which the building was to stand was adjoined on both sides by high buildings, which rendered unsafe tho digging to any depth for, a foundation. The only way out of tbe difficulty was the sinking of a caisson in the center of tbe plot, upon the cemented top of which a hollow form of cement was bunt Into this form molten iron was poured, fill ing up the space, and upon this cast iron foundation plate tbe undersrructure of the bnilding now rests, while the side walls are supported by a cantalever struc ture. Tho full weight of the lead upon tbe cast iron fonndation is estimated at more than 20,000 tons. New Ideas. Do You Drink?

Poisons that go into the body should come out of it. The kidteys will filter out all pois ons from the blood if they are kept active and well. If you must drink, take occasional ly a few doses of Dr. Hobbs' Sparagus Pills for they give tone, strength and ac tivity to yonr kidneys, and will make a well man of you.

To Dr. Hobbs' Remedy Co : W hen a man has any ser ous trou ble with his kidneys, as I have had, and has for years tried all kinds of kidney medicines without getting any benefit from them, it is natural if he tries a new remedy and it cares hi pains and aches, he should say a word in its lavor. I nave bid kid ney troubles and headache so long that I don't know when it com menced. But I do know that until I bought some of Hobbs' Sparagus Kid ney Pilla, at the drug store of James E. Durkin, and used them thorough ly. I never had any such relief from pains and kidney weaknesses as 1 hare now. Hobbs' Sparagus Kidney Pills are the king bee pilla for kid ney troubles, and I know it.
