Last Wednesday forenoon DR.. &. W. ClSit-
sendcn, gentleman about seventy one years Of
age, drove to Streator from his place nine miles
east and one mile south, through the sun. He
transacted some business in town and was about
ready to leave when he drove his wagon up to
Peter Stubenraucl's -four store, on Park street,
and stepped in to do some trading. He took a
seat at the door, IN the shade, and sat a few mo
ments, when he commenced complaining Of feel
ing ILL., II was about one o'clock, and as DR. lie
Roy was going past Mr.. StubeHrauch called him
IN 10 see what was the matter. The doctor soon
saw it was q ease Of sun stroke, and improvlsing
bed in the rear end of the store the patient was
led back there and made to lie down He lost
consciousness in few minutes and never rccov-
cred. Everything that possibly could have been
done under the circumstances was promptly at
tended to, but the stroke was fatal He expired
at seven O'Clock on Thursday morning. Mr..
Chrittenden was man Of eminent responsibility
and will be sadly mourned by an unusually large
circle Of scquantances, besides his immediate
rclations.-Sty,,1Or Ere Press

The Streator Free Press says that or Saturday
afternoon last about five O'Clock, the residence Of
Mr. A. s. Holderman, corner Of Bridge and Yer.
million streets, was discovered to be ON fire. The
people promptly rallied to the rescue, and the
fre company, with the engine, was soon at hand.
At one time it looked as though the house was
bound to 20, but plenty Of water and energetic
work saved 1t. No one was at home at the time
the Dire was discovered, but it seems to have
started in the attic over the kitchen. jennie
Holderman had been playing with fire crackers
during the afternoon, and it is surmsed that he
must have thrown one INTO the attic, where il
fred some rubbish and from that the house The
damage by fire and the attempts 10 extinguish
IT, was considerable, but 1t IS fully covered by

The La Sale D,Inocrdi says that on last Mon
LAY morning, about daylight, Philip Doll OF
Peru, widely known by the nickname Of 'old
STEIN" solved the mystery Of eternity by walking
out 10 the middle Of the bridge across the Illinois
river at that city, aud diving down in the dark,
turbid water which flowed beneath. The act was
seen and his rescue attempted, but when his body
was recovered he was dead. He had been a sa
lOon-keeper for great many year,, and had ac-
cumulated considerable property, but Of late he
bad retired from the business. He was an ex.
cesslvely fieshy man, weighing over 800 pounds,
and for some time had been almost helpless. II
Is supposed this subject preyed on his mind, pro
ducing temporary insanity, and caused him to
commit the rash and fatal act

The High school Location.

The city is becoming considerably agitated
on the Subject of selecting location
for q High School which the people vot
ed so strongly in favor of in the spring.
There are parties pulling in favor of location on
the south side, on the west side and on the east
side which demonstrates of course that none Of
these should be selected, but that the location
should be central. The Shabbona square pro-
ject, we learn, has already been abandoned and
so must be that of renting the Hossack building
on the south SIDE for we are able to say positive
y that 1t Is not for rent at any price, and the east
side project is about equally unavailable.
The most sensible proposal, then, is that to
purchase the county lot on the corner southwest
of the Congregational church. 1t was purchased
by the county ten or twelve years ago with a
view to erecting upon it a county Jail, but is
wholly untitled for the purpose, besides that 1t
would be al outrage to put the Jail there. The
lot is now worth about half what the county paid
for it and ought to be purchasable by the city on
easy terms. $1,000 would erect and furnish a
building upon 1t that would answer all the pur-
poses of the High School for ten years to come.
The people having voted for township High
School the law is mandatory upon the township
directors to make provision for it. We do not
understand that they are obliged to call on the
people to vote the means but have power to pro-
vide them otherwise. The time to get ready for
the school is short and there must be no dilly-
dallying. We are quite sure that of all the loca.
tions yet named, three-fourths of the town would
vote for the county lot referred to. The supervi.
sors meet next week. and we believe they will be
glad to transfer the lot to the city on accommo-
dating terms They certainly ought to be- for
no jail win ever be built on that lot.
