The third match game between the Eagles, of
Dayton, and the Dirigo, of Leland, came off on
Wednesday last at Leland. The contest was
warm, but finally resulted in favor Of the Eagles
by score of 43 to 30, thus giving the Eagles
two games out Of three. The game passed off
with the greatest Of harmony on both sides.
After the game was over Hon. Dr. Monroe, of
Leland with some brief remarks, presented to
the Umpire Blake of Shabbona Club of Otta.
wa splendid Gold Pen and Holder, for his
kind. prompt and impartial decisions In return
the young Umpire took the stand and delivered
some OF the most commanding and appropriate
remarks that ever fell from the lips of boy.
This being over, both clubs passed down to the
Walker House, kept by Walker himself, where
a splendid supper was prepared for them, of
which the boys partook freely, as it was served
up in grand and splendid style. The time of

Death OF Mrs. Walker.

ME-. PHEBE WALKER died in this city on

OF h'r age. There are few persons in this city

double sense-oldest in years and oldest in her
residence. She was bor,i near Nashville. Tenn

Waller, at about % years of age Some years
afterwards DR.. W. moved from Tennessee tS

is nov Ottawa, and, with occasional short inter.
walls, resided until his death in 1885. OF course

THE SWING BRIDGE.-Is there no way to
remedy the nuisance at the swing bridge across
the side cuts? /? 1t stands now and for several
weeks has stood about one third open, so that
persons passing over in the night, by following
the railing. are pretty sure to step off inte the
canal We understand young lady did get

nate one be child, drowning would be inevita-

its place, or railing be put at the open ends to
keep people from stepping of.

ACCIDENTAL frightful accident occurred at
the ravine bridge, west of the south end of the
Illinois river bridge on Saturday evening, last.
Mr., Dent was on the bridge, coming this way in
buggy, when he was met by Mr.. Dennis Haley,
of Deer Park, driving towards him. Haley un-
dertook to back out, to let Dent pass, but in
doing so backed off the bridge at the east end,
precipitating himself, horse, wagon, wife. and
'three children over the bank into the ravine 25
feet below. Mr.. Haley had an arm and rib
broken; little boy had a cash cut in his head |;
Mrs. Haley, with an infant in her arms, was
caught in the top of tree, and was rescued
unhurt; another child escaped without injury,
and, strangest of all, the horses escaped unin-
jured. 1t is a frightful place to 20 hown in
such way, and it seems wonderful that the
party escaped with 30 little harm.

likely to become champions, unless it be for the

The Artetian Well,

We have the pleasure of being able TO announce
that the boring for artcsian water in the north
ern suburbs Of this city is meeting with brilliant
success. At depth of 275 feet, water has been
struck that comes TO the surface and flows out in
quite stream, the stream growing stronger as
the well descends. The sand rock which under
lies this city was passed at depth Of $50 feet; (;
then followed stratum of peculiar limestone,
almost identical with the cement rock at Utica
The boring is now in sand stone and it is beliey-
ed at less than 400 feet strong, permanent ar
tesian stree AN will have been attained. The wa
ter has been analyzed and found perfectly pure
This boring, our readers are aware, though
done under the auspices of the Ottawa Petroleum
and Mining Company, is really intended as an
experiment for the public benefit, and it is no
more than right that its further prosecution
should be at the public expense. The company
own and are willing to give gratuitously the use
OF their machinery, which has cost them several
Thousand dollars, but beyond that the public
must supply the means In order to raise these
means, some public spirited gentleman have pro-
jected a sort of Gift Enterprise" issuing 1900
tickets, upon which they propose to distribute
$500 worth of property that has been mostly
contributed for the pur pose. Should our people
promptly buy these tickets and thus make the
Enterprise" success, means will have been
raised sufficient not only to finish the expert.
ment north of the city, but, if that prove such
success as present appearances indicate, then the
machinery win at once be moved to the public
squarein Ottawa, and there will be means enough
to go far towards securing an artesian we'll in
the centre of the city. The object in view seems
to US 50 desirable and important that we cannot
doubt for moment but it will meet the most
prompt and liberal aid on the part of our cit.

value of about $4,000 The insurance
