that there will be heavy vote polled.

The patriarch of all the locomotives

the oldest in active use anywhere i:
the old switch engine, number six,
which now hobs and lodges about
the Peoria yards in this city every
working day and half of every work
night, humping the big cars. through
some of which it could run endwise
without touching either sides or top,
with all the vigor of lusty youth.
Born, or rather moulded, of good
New England stock in the Danforth
shops in Rhode Island while the
smoke of the civil war yet hung over
the land, IT was the contemporary of
the tirs6 iron clads on the sea, the first
rude horse reaper in agriculture and
tie bison and wild Indian on the
plain. 1t witnessed the reconstruc-
ton of the states, the introduction of
the 1reechloading rifle and the mod

all this the number six holds
its smokestack proudly in the air and
bustles on it's way without betray-

or the consumptive coughing that
might be expected to result from so
many years uninterrupted duty in

have planted our victorious stand
ard in the heart of an enemies
country.
1--WE have met, not to respond
to the shouts of triumph which
comes from the West; but to an
swer the cries of want and suffer-
ing which comes from the East"
Today, with those cries of want
and suffering satiated by the
hand of a benefcent Providence,
we may declare ourselves as hav-
ing met for the purpose of "ce,e-
brating the achievements of those
gallant men" who in the agony
and travail of national birth, met
the foe of liberty and progress
upon the fields of martial glory,
and fought the battles and shed
the blood which was the purchase
price of our national existence
and American independence.
The command had gone forth
to subdue the earth and replenish
it. 1t was in pursuance of this
command that our fore-fathers
came to the shores of the New
World.
America was Gods gift to a
liberty-loving people. And when
the mother country sought to
bring the chains of slavery upon
them, they rebelled, and fired tC
action by the Henry's, they were
led to victory and independence
by the Washington's of their time
and country. 1t is with tearfu'
eyes and swelling hearts we read
the pathetic history of those
bloody days. A great and mighty
kingdom seeking to bind the
chains of tyrany and oppression
upon the few but liberty-lovins
sons of the young American col
onies.
That they had the hardihoot
to oppose SO formidable a power
and after long and bloody war
secure their independence, i
without precedence in the annals
of human history, and remains
today the wonder and admiration
of the ages.
They were in the right, and Coo
was with them, and today on

The Fourth was an ideal day in
White Oaks. The EAGLE, has
heard many expressions Of salts
faction and delight over the cele-
bration of the day. While the
enthusiasm at times was quite
marked, it was of that order
which gives character to COM
:munity. Not single boisterous
or disorderly event, or person, was
noticed during the entire day.
The sun had hardly sent his
good morning kiss into our beau
tiful valley, when the "revielle"
by the band awakend tardy sleep
ers from their morning nap. By
nine o'clock a large portion of the
people gathered at the park, to
witness the first event of the day;
the base ball game between the
Boys Club" and that of the
"Married Men" Much interest
was manifested in this game.
The boys did themselves much
credit and indicated that they
were candidates for the national
pennant, while the men proved
that they had not forgotten their
skill or boyhood days.
At eleven o'clock the crowd
gathered in the pavilion, to par
ticipate in the patriotic services
of the day. Several airs played
by the band, including "Colum-
bia" and others which awakens
the American patriots enthusiasm,
prepared the people for this SER
vice. The invocation was by
Rev. J. F. Wood; and the Declar-
alton of Independence was beau
tifully read by Miss Florence
Wharton. The band responded
to this with the Red White and
