Does Jeems think that the Honorable
Il. J. Gill and your humble servant are
going to so far forget themselves as to
arrest every man we meet on the streets
with jug of whisky? If we should
indulge in that practice for Il couple of
weeks, some of Jeems' brethren would
get into unnecessary trouble as we'll
as ourselves.
There will be tribunal of good and
true men in your city next week, to
whom Jeems and the others can re-
port if they want the tiger caught
or driven from their midst. Let them
go with the proper evidence before
that court, who will clothe the officers
of our county with the proper author
ity for catching all law-breakers. For
my part, cannot arrest man, without
affidavit, whom l have not seen break

his informers will make oath before

the law in this burg, or gives me the

of suggestions about the matter, and
by the time the solons get up to Jack

which the capitol will either be built
or else it won't and that's all there is
about it. 1t is pretty generally believed
here that the governor is going to
treat the subject with silent contempt,
and as all are we'll aware, if he does
not direct attention thereto in his
message the legislature is powerless to
consider it at this special session. In
the event the capitol muddle is not
settled at this session it will become
the leading issue in the next campaign

Robbing a Shoe.

A great many people will wonder
at this neutrality-suspicious. they are
wearing Shoes that have been rob
bed while they are wondering. Do
you know how a Shoe can be rob
bed Take our 81 Ladies' Buff
Shoe for instance. A sharp dealer
may show you something that looks
just as good for the same price,
bpt the chances are it has been
Bbbed. He has had the counter
or stiffening in the back taken out
and a paste board one put in its
stead. This reduces the price of
the Shoe 71&c per pair. 1t has a
leather board inner sole in place
of a solid leather one. Leather
board is made of leather shavings
pressed together SO as to look like
leather, but really it is very little
better than paste board. The diff
ference between the leather and
leather board inner sole is nc per
pair. These two items alone
amount to 15c per pair. 15c can
be stolen from a 81 shoe and the
Shoe will look just as well on the
outside. People that sell these
kind of Shoes don't care much for
their reputation. They want to
make all they can on this bill and
trust to luck for the next We
want to sell the kind that wear

The big rain of Thursday night
caused landslide on the Illinois Cen
trail near Madison Station, and a train
of @ cars were ditched, tearing up the
track so badly that traffic was inter
rupted for one whole day. No one
was injured in the wreck.
A few nights ago a hackman carried
a lady passenger from the depot to her
home and left his team standing on
the curb while he accompanied her in-
to the house. He was only gone a
minute, but on his return one of his
horses was missing. Looking around
he found him in ditch up to his ears,
and had to walk to town to get some
one to come and assist him in the res
cue. The animal had walked into a
sewer that was being dug for the water
works company, but fortuna tely was
gotten out without injury.
