THEY 10 SAY
It Was all a Joke.

Some of our people may not know 1t
but "THEY do say" that tirat-rlas5
Joke is going the rounds Of our city
and is causing no little mcrriment.
The arch Joker in the drama is Mr..
". A. Nelson, or Chief Nelson. the So
luton Of which is the kernel of the
comedy.
Last week all the papers here stated
that Chief Nelson had resigned and
rendered his badge to Mayor Nin,on.
"Thev do say" that this was at first
taken in all seriousness BY the mayor.
council and public, and Immediate
steps were taken 10 elect Il sue
ccssor. Things were getting warm
along this line when Il halt va, called
by the announcement that Chief ~
Nelson had never resigned. but having
been worn Out by the oncrOuS. arduoua
duties imposed upon him, desired to
take lnuchly needed rest and rccrca-
ton. and had sent his badge to the
mayor as being the onl man compc-
tent to pin it on one in every way
worthy and competent to discharge the
responsible duties, while ne was away
or taking that required rest.
Now they do say that Chief Nelson
did resign and was in full earnest when
he handed his badge to the mayor, but
was persuaded that he was only joking,
by the mayor and some members OF the
council, after they saw failure to elect
chosen one from the lOrce to succeed
the joker chief. You see, "Thev do
say" that a certain disease known as
voluntary blindness, had settled on the
eyes of the Old force, making it impos-
Sible for the members to see in certain
| directions and certain things, and to
name either Mr.. John Stallcup, who
hadn't been on long enough to contract
the disease, or choose some one from
the ''outside," would require too much
labor from the old force, who would be
COMPELLED to see, by the new chief.
! 1t seems there were some Of the
council who wanted a blind chief and
some who wanted one who could and
would see with great distinctness, and
the tear that blind one could not be
secured, led the lovers of those suffer-
ing from such inIirmities to convince
Mr. Nelson that he was only Joking
and had not res gncd.
This is i very laughablc comedy, pre-
pared by "They do say" and we give
it because we know it will be enjoyed
bv our readers, bit The PROGRESS is
in no wise responsible for it.

Our friend, Mr.. G.. b. Wimbish, of
BrOwniec, was in town this week, and
the majestic look accompanied with
the dir OF a conqueror, which appeared

him that grasp and look which meant,

Here's success to the youngster.
May he grow up to be tirst-class

feet, sing useless lullabies to a cOlicy

their lots there on the strength of
the Federal government establish

euchered out of their investments
by the refusal of the Rock Island
road to stop their trains, as or
dered by the Federal courts. The
same refusal of the Federal arm
that put a stop to the Chicago
