PROGRESS ITEMS.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
PROGRESS, Dec. 2S.-At the special
school meeting held at Bean the oath, a
majority of the voters voted against the
continuation of the school. They favor
a spring school, commencing April LIST.
Some few are in favor of no school.
The entertainment and Christmas tree
at the Evangelical church, at this place,
was indeed a nice affair.
Bean Greek school was served to a
treat, by the teacher, on the oath. All
seemed to enjoy it and have plenty. The
students presented the teacher with an
elegant autograph album and msustache
cup, which was duly appreciated.
The debate and its attendant exercises
proved a source of fun and instruction TO
all present. The paper vas edited by Mr..
James G. Ford, assisted by Miss Lena
Kunkel.
Prof. c. T. Torreyson's Christmas eve
entertainment was good.
Rev. Heickel, of Vandalia, will preach
at Bean next Sunday.
Miss Lena Tress is visiting her sister,
Mrs. Leubke, of Progress.
MI. Frank Laudis and family are visit
ing relatives in this vicinity. They are
of Pettis county, but have returned to
old Audrain, secured property in Mexi-
co and have come to stay in the banner
county.
The public school will close Deem
Der 81, 1885. But little need be said by
US, as we care not to fashion public
opinion, but suffice it to say that 1t has
been our honest effort, by regularly at
tending to our work, to give the students
the best advantages we had. We hope to
have gained the ill will of no one, as we
have only attempted our duty. One
thing, the work has been impartially per-
formed, and special favors have been
ruled out, and in leaving the vicinity. we
do say, with the kindest regards and best
wishes to all, we nave enrolled 80 odd
visitors during the 4 months. PEDRO.

Fire Go. and Water-works Co.

Mr.. Hayden replied that but for
the water-works the fire this morning
would not have cost the insurance
companies $40. A few buckets of
water was all that was necessary. AS
it is an entire stock of millinery
goods is ruined by water and the com
panies will have to foot the bill. Mex
leo had put out three bigger fires be-
fore the water-works were establish
ed than the recent one in the Hardin
block. FL. Hayden in speech be-
fore City Council and reported an
Intehjgencer.
For the benefit of those citizens
who lie in bed during bitter cold
weather. while the Fire Company is
saving their property at the risk OF
their health and lives only to receive
such grumbllng and f~ault-inding as
the above, we desire to say it Is
impossible to put out a fire without
damaging the goods in the building
with water.
T. When a fire starts in a frame build
ing on the public square, and has tht
Roadway it had in the store referred
too, the Fire Company cannot AFFORD
to endanger a whole block of brick
buildings in order to save a few dol
lars TO an insurance company on
stock of goods. At no time after thu
fire was discovered could a man have
gotten anywhere neal the fire with
'bucket of water"
In reference to three bigger fire.

were not put out, but as a matter o
fact, burned out.

Just done by the Mexico Fire Com

JOHN A. LOGAN.
Sudden Death OF the UIustriOus States
man and Soldier at Washington
Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-JoLn A.
Logan died at a few moments before
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, aged
60 years, 10 months and Is days.
While the public has been aware for
a week or more that Gen. Logan was
confined 10 his room with rheumatism,
many ever of his most intimate
friends we're as late as Saturday at.
ternoon, unsuspicious of the serious
character of the attack, and to the
masses the announcement IN this
mornings papers that the statesman
lay dead, brought a shock of sorrow.
full surprise. Gen. Logan WAS born
in Jackson county, Illinois, February
9th, 1926. His father was a native
of Ireland, a doctor and a man OF
education and intelligence, so that
he was able to instruct his son at 8
time when schools were not easily
accessible in Illinois. He was q
prominent figure in Illinois politics,
and was greatly admired by his party
in hal state. The legislature, which
meets a week from next Wednesday,
will elect a to Senator Lo-
gan. 1t is hard to name the Repub.
lican candidate for the Senate at this
time, but every one feels quite sure
that no person could command the
powerful support that was given to
Gen. Logan.
