against a set of brass knucks; but those
who know the chief know also that if this
had been the case there would have been
something like a funeral somewhere In
town, with the owner of the knucks at the
head Of the procession.

Late Monday night Drs Parker were
called upon to attend brakeman on the
Wabash road, named Lighton, whose up
per lip had been cut by blow from
the elevated railroad of the box factory, as
he was standing erect on top of train
passing under it, He was knocked sense
less, and fortunately lay on top Of the car
until found by the conductor, when he was
conveyed to the doctors office. His injuries
are not serious. The roadway is high
enough to permit men of ordinary height
standing on cars of ordinary height to pass
under easily without touching. But in
this instance the height OF both was extra
ordinary, hence the accident.
The election yesterday was about as
uninteresting as dictionary and passed Of
as quietly as do week days in church. The
vote was very light, the total vote cast in
the city not reaching 1926. There being no
intimation received that any other candidate
was in the field anywhere in the county, it
is safe to presume that Hon. 7. W. Halli-
day was unanimously reelected County
Commissioner. The question of permitting
cows and hogs 20 run at large was, of
course, decided in the affirmative by
large majority, which, for several reasons,
chiefly on account Of the farmers in the
county, whose fences are yearly torn down
by the food, is to be regretted.
We have engaged Mr. Mccullough,
who while in the service OF the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, so perslstently, judiciously
and successfully traced Miss Mary Churchill,
the mysteriously lost 81, Louis girl. We
have engaged him to employ bis remarka.
be sleuth-hound qualities in tracking and
bringing TO light the mysteriously lost
Sergeant Bluff, of the No Idle Logs, whose
probable whereabouts have for some time
been question of much serious comment.
We hope our enterprise in this respect will
be duly appreciated by all our readers, and
we feel strongly hopeful that it will result
in solving The mystery surrounding the I'M
accountable absence of the gallant ser
geant.
Mr.. David Wisher, who was some time
ago indefinitely suspended from conduc-
tOrship on the evening incoming passenger
train of the Illinois Central railroad, for
some little irregularity in the running of
funeral train between here and Villa Ridge,
has been reinstated In his old place, and
came in on his old train again last evening
for the first time. The engineer of that
funeral train, Mr.. Porter, who was also sus-
pended at the same time, has likewise been
reinstated, and will take his engine out
again as usual for the first time this morn
ing. The friends here of these two gentle
men, who are many, will hear this news
with pleasure. Their reinstatement will be
