Advent Sunday

Yesterday was Advent Sunday or the
opening of the advent season in church
calendars Its date is always the first
Sunday after November 26th-and De
cember 3rd is consequently its latest date.
1t commences the Christian year, and in
it the faithful In the Episcopalian and
Roman Catholic communions have
brought before their thoughts the -Four
Last Things" death and judgment, heav-
en- and hell. The Savior is presented as
coming in the flesh at His incarnation and
to come again at the judgment day, which
they are always to expect, and for which
they are expected to be always ready. On
Advent Sunday, the faithful review the
Way they have used the advantages of the
Christian gear just concluded, and to
make new VOWS for the year just begins
ning-at the altar pledge themselves to a
holier service.

Sparks From the Smokestack.

Railroad news was as scarce as hens
teeth around the depots this morning.
Mr. Kimbal, of the c. r. l. & P, went
east in the private car Columbia, this
morning.
1t is expected that Theodore Buckholtz
went on duty as brakeman on his train ON
the c. NJ. & st. P road.
1t is probable that a new time table
will 60 into effect on the c. r. l. & P.
next Sunday.
The Cannon ball train came in twenty
minutes late this morning and the Peoria
train left just that much behind time, hav-
ing waited to make connections.

When only canal of length much less
than one fifth of that of the Erie canal is
needed to supplement aud to make CON-
plete the benefcence Of nature to these
United States. surely there should no
longer be delay in executing that work
1t is now desired that commercial
bodies, business men, and citizens gener-
ally, who are impressed with the value and
importance of the canal construction in
question, now make known their cons
victions and wishes earnestly and ur>
gently. Resolutions of all business and
municipal associations, and letters of
private citizens forwarded to members of
congress at an early day, will be of great
service in this direction. All friends of
the proposed improvement are earnestly
solicited to exert diligent efforts to thus
press the subject upon the attention of
the servants of the people at Washington.
Congress can very readily give to the
people the great boon asked for in this
canal. Let your congressman know what
you want done in the premises.
Yours respectfully,
JosEPH UTLEY,
President of the Michigan and Missis>
sippi canal commission.

OPENING POSTPONED,

Mr.. E. II. Collins, proprietor and man
ager of the Excelsior roller skating rink,
had hoped that the cement floor in the
new rink would be dry enough to allow
of the opening tonight, but the damp
weather has caused the drying process to
be very slow and tedious and therefore
Mr. Collins has decided not to open the
rink tonight. He feels confident that the
floor will be all right when it becomes
perfectly dry and he is now using several
charcoal furnaces and the drying process
while slow is proving satisfactory. When
the floor is dry and smooth due announce
ment will be made of the opening Mr..
Collins is very sorry 10 disappoint his
friends. but he feels that they will njoy
themselves more by waiting till the rink
floor is perfectly dry.

The Leman-Brand Case.

The senatorial muddle in the Eighteenth
ward of Chicago is taking new phase.
The investigators claim to be making
rapid Roadway, and think themselves able
to ferret out the whole scheme. Later de
velopements show that spurious rcpubli>
can ballots were printed, and substituted
for the originals. The explanation of
who is guilty of this despicable work re-
maing for the present q mystery, but it is
hoped that it will not long remain so.
Mr. Brand has directed his attorney at
Spring field to discontinue the mandamus
proceedings against the state board of
canvasscrs in order to allow the Cover
nor full authority in the matter. The
governor is to announce his decision to-

Skating.

Yesterday afternoon more than two
hundred youngsters were to be seen en>
joying the skating on the ice in the slough
above the Sylvan bridge. The ice there
is three or four inches thick and quite
smooth. The skating therefore is very
good, but little dangerous as the ice is
not thick enough yet to be perfectly safe,
and the boys and girls who indulge in the
snort should be very careful.
