j. FL. White, who has lately re-
turned from visit in Dakota says
there is nothing like the sound of an

pavement.

The local members of the League
of American wheelmen are making

roads proposition. People are noticing
and commenting quite freely about the
aprons being worn by the various
horses and teams, upon which are the

good roads, OF course the horses
want good roads. 1t makes wonder
full difference to them.
-Chas. SWartz, the man who was
jailed Friday on the charge of assault,
has refused to eat anything since be

to Waukegan from whence they came.
There has been considerable seri-
Gus trouble at the gas house for the
past two or three days. Thursday
night the engine broke down and the
supply of gas was ptionally low at
t. time and the company was, there
fore, under special necessity for getting
things into working order at the ear
| Hest possible moment. The engineer
notified Manager Littlehales and he
FASTENED to secure a traction engine
with which to run the works until the
regular engine could be fixed. The
traction engine was anything but suit
ed to the Job and that fact and the re-
pairs have kept Mr.. Littlehales in boil
ing hot water ever since. There has
been little sleep for the manager, but
he has succeeded in keeping the gas
jets about town burning.

against the establishing of saloon in
the business district of the town

one place prided by citizens. In the

erected in memory of the boys who
went to the front during the late re-
bellion and fell in battle. At the north
east corner of the square is fine brick
building that has always been used as
a dry goods or millinery store. Tive
men recently rented the place ano

allurements it would have for the
youth of the. city, that women and girls
could not safely pass and that bushes;
lin the vicinity would be injured. The

The police got eff a little game
on Officer O'Hare Friday night. They
told him a yarn about very mysteri-
Gus and suspicious looking package
being reported as being under the end
of the Main street bridge. The job OF
working up the case was assigned him
Owen likes to strike a lead like that,
and, of course, he at once scented a big
piece of crime and made straight for
the bridge to get the package and
trusting to good fortune to lead him to
the complete development of the case
When he got to the bridge, little
search soon revealed the package. Il
was dreadfully suspicious looking. He
clutched at it as with eagle claws, and
drawing it out took it to the police office
When he got it there he unwound the
covering to take look at the mYsteri-
Gus goods. 1t was then that he un-
covered the rascality of the other cops
They had filed away a big fat water
mellon for Owen.
