GALLANT-Not long ago, as an
elderly couple were out walking, a
lady on the opposite side of the
street tripped and fell down. The
old gentleman rushed across the
street, raised his hat, and offered to
assist her in any possible way. His
wife followed him across at a slow
pace, and witnessing his devotion to
the stranger, she got mad and shook
her fist at him. '1t's all right-it's
all right!'' he whispered. eyes"
she hotIy exclaimed, "here an un-
known woman stubs her toe, and
you plow across the street to eat her
up with kindness. The other day,
when l fell down stairs, you stood
and laughed and chuckled and tick
led your ribs, and wanted to know,
in a sort of serio-comic air if I had
hurt myself!

Our horse men are having some nice quiet
sport at the Fair Grounds where number OF
fast horses are in training, belonging to Ottawa
men. Saturday mornings when the tack is in
good condition there is always an in.otmal trot
when some fine work is done. Henry Holmes

are Dcgen's white mare, and Fred Reynolds
mare. The best time made lately we believe is
that Of W. J. Neely's Byron and Capt. Jack
both Of whom lately got down to POS. The
grounds are general headquarters for this sec.
ton Of the country where the owners Of blooded
horses seem to have formed sort Of guild
whose influence seems TO be working for good
in raising the general standard of horse flesh on
our streets We venture TO say there are few
cities of the size of Ottawa IN the west that can
show so many fine turn outs as are seen on our
streets of pleasant evening. Among the latest
appearances is w. II. Cary's fine team OF PAGERS,
which are exciting considerable comment. They
are very stylish and are able we are told to make

the money for such improvements is to be di

Outside the city south and west are fine drives
which find much favor. The finest Of all-along
the south bank of the Illinois river-is always good

The Fourth.


It is pretty generally understood that there
viii be a celebration in Ottawa on the fourth Of
July, though not one of the regulation stylc-a
izze at fire works in the evening, a" trade" pro-
cession or stupid speech after the DECLARATION"
is read, nor one in anywire calculated toforce an
audience to accept stupidity as fun.
The announcement made by us last week that
the Joliet "Citizen's Corps" were coming was
received with great favor. Tie plan talked of by
many is to have the Hook and Ladder Company
formally invite those gentlemen down, have a
without speeches Of any kind except of welcome
to our guests In the afternoon there will prob
ably be a nice game Of base ball between the
"Stone.Citics' OF Joliet and an Ottawa nine.
After that IS over the idea is that the Hook and
Ladder Company organize a tlrst.class burlcsque
procession. If that Company takes hold of it,
the procession will surely be a success, and in
that case nothing more in particular will be need
ed for the afternoon.
The evening will be filled by grand ball in
honor of the guests, managed also by the Hook
and Ladder Company,
In case this plan IS carried out other military
or civic organizations from abroad will doubtless
be asked to take part.
We think that in this way the day can be made
very pleasant. The od.fashioned Fourth,
loud mouthed, drunken, and disgusting is getting
to be Il thing of the past, as it ought to be, for
in the second century OF our national life the ma
ton ought to put on mere of the dignity of age
and little OF that "cultuaw' only obtainahlc-

meeting of the Hook and Ladder Company
was held on last evening but at too late an hour
to allow us to state their proceedings, though ii
was well understood that mauy of the Company
favored The plan as stated above.

From, Sandwich.

Last week a gang Of roughs and other
young men, to the number of IS, went from
this town into Worthwhile to attend dance.
Being disappointed because no hop was al.
lowed, they vented theirspleen by fencing off
the road INTO small lots from the scene OF
ing the Town Hall full Of post holes. The
damages were settled by the boys" paying
S1S to Supervisor j. NJ. Fox.
1t seems that some time last summer the
road commissioners of Worthwhile signed an
agreement with the commissioners of Fox, in
Kendall county, to build and repair the Mill.
ington bridge across Fox river, and Its APP
proach and pay One-half of the expenses.
This was done without any vote Of the citi-
zens of that town authorizing it. The bridge
was built, but not its approaches, last year.
Now, the Worthwhile commissioners have
been notified by the Fox commissioners to
meet and complete the bridge under their
contract. A new obstacle now meets them,
viz: AT the township election last spring II
was voted "that the commissioners of North
vile be forbidden to spend another dollar
upon the Millington bridge or lis approaches"
North of the river for a number of miles
there Is a county line road, which DIVORCES
from the line into Kendall county near the
river in order 10 effect better place TO build
bridge, and Northvlle's south line is Fox
river. Missions north line is Fox river and
east line the town of Fox, yet the commits.
sioners there conclude their town is not
bound to contribute TO the building or repairs
on the bridge, as there is no county line road
south of the river for number of miles.
