the premises Of one or more of our uptown
subscribers. Perhaps he doesn't know that
to do so was crime, punishable by fine or
Imprisonment or both; but it is, and the
sooner he impresses this fact upon his mind
the better. There are also other "John
Henry's" whose identify is not now known
but it will doubtless be sooner or later
revealed unless their depredations cease.
"A fine gold medal is being prepared
by Mr., Z. A. Builder, which is to be pre-
sented to the best drilled member of the
Halliday guards in about three weeks from
now. The medal represents q knap-sack,
with folded blanket, hanging from pair

the company. The company will 60 into
drill for the contest within the next few
days.

proclamation, by which the Illinois leg
islature will convene in special session in
about three weeks. 1t is claimed that
among the subjects he will name for legis-
lation, will be revision of the criminal
code of the state. He is also urged to i'm
clude the subject of civil code of proceed

prepare and report code at the regular
session of the Legislature next winter.
The late Mr.. Singer of sewing machine

Mr.. H. W. Smithers, receiver for the Cairo

railroad shops will certainly be located at
Sparta, and as soon as arrangements are
completsa.for conveyance of the land the
contracts will be let. The report that the
