many that the capacity of the schools
will be exceeded at once and, of course,
it is impossible to give preference by
rcserying seats for abscntees.

very pleasant call last Monday,
when asked about politics he said
that he was not bothering himself
about politics at all and didn't know
whether he would vote or not, and
it was his purpose to point colored
men to secure useful trades and to
get property, instead Of politics.
He said that the Irish and Negroes
were the disturbing elements in
both parties, while the other ele-
ment is quiet and receive all the
honors. He further said that
the most disreputable element who
did not possess shingle or hardly
the tattered clothing upon his back
were the ones recognized by both
parties to influence respectful voters
but that the time had passed with
the Negroes in Illinois when man
lounged around from one campaign

Wheelmen's Celebration,

There is resting on the shoulders OF
the Capital City Cycling club the re.
sponsibility of entertaining a large
number OF visitors. Heretofore, any
big crowd were handled by older citi-
zens, whose prestige brought forth en-
thusiasm and money to help the enter
prise. For this reason it is the duty of
the people of Springfield to help the
bicycle club by attending the races;
also by decorating buildings in the city
and the residences on the line Of march.

decoration, and the STATE CAPITAL
agrees with the club in urging the citi
zens to decorate. The line of parade
VIII be announced tom orrow morning.

cents for adults, 25 cents for children
under 10 years of age, and all children
lnder 3 years Of age free. No extra
