promised to insure &" the boys the welcome
they deserved. The town was literally ad-
orned with flags and bunting, and private
dwellings as we'll, were not lacking in lib

addition to this, three beautiful arches were
erected on Main street, giving the town the
appearance of the grandest holiday Of its
existence.
Commander Nattinger was among the first
on the ground and Immediately took charge
Of Camp Southwell, DR.. Ensign acting as
adjutant. Tuesday evening was taken up
with camp fire, and Mayor Burgess, in
behalf of Wenons welcomed the soldiers and
extended to them war-title deed Of the

Q third insisted that the car gathered the

A fourth said that the car gathered up the

are the true solution, for the positive cur
rent passes along the overhead wire and the
negative on the wires along the rails, while
the connection is made through the car.
By the way, the car drivers carry huge

a gang Of toughs on the north side who in@

Don't you turn to SO and so,
While the tears of anger flow,
Just hum something soft and low,
And paste him.
When you amble on the street
And q maiden you chance to meet,
Whom some fellow with big feet
Seeks to capture as you greet,
Do not turn and make retreat,
This would show q sad defeat;
Just show him you're not beat,
Your friends will stand the treat
Ifyou whack him.

Do not kick your Sunday pants
Nor in the hallway wildly prance,
But wait until his glance

The Joliet Democrat is dead. 1t died last
Thursday evening and the last words 1t
murmered as it placed its tiny fingers on the
golden rail- were "good bye" How in its
infant murmurings it had stirred the hearts
Of its supporters none but Paige and his
friends will ever know. When upon the
bright morn Of its birth, its editor, the he
roic John Edmunds, he placed his feet upon
the silver railing which barred the populace
from his select presence, and smiled upon
his wondering admirers, the plaudits of an
enraptured people stopped the clock on the
Will county court house and drove the sewer
gas from Robert Mann Woods sanctum,
while the sheep on the neighboring common
bleated in mortal terror. One by one the
ffteen-cent cigars, so proudly worn, were
replaced by two-for-fves; one by one the
plain, uncouth beers usurped the lips where
once the twenty cent whiskey was wont to
accumulate. But now all is over. Its wall
of fear vas unanswered and now the flowers
are heaped on fresh, new grave in the pot
ter's field Of journalism. / might feelingly
say with Shakespeare,
So shall you hear
OF accidental judgment, casual slaughter,
OF deaths, put on by cunning and forced
cause.
