AFEAST OF GOOD THINGS.
ST. Nicholas in 1908 Promises
to Go Far Beyond Past
Successes.

Professor John Bach McMaster re-
Gently wrote to the editors of St.
Nicholas; "Thank you very heartily
for the pleasure and profit St. Nicho-
las brings to my boys"
Boys and girls are very much alike
the world over. The delight and help
that st. Nicholas is giving to Prof
essor McMaster,s boys, and thous-
ansds of other girls and boys it
holds for every girl and boy who can
understand English.
Since the first number of St. Mich
oils was published, nearly thirty
years ago, many weekly and monthly
publication for children have come
and gone; but St. Nicholas still holds
its place. the unriyalled ''prince" Of
periodicals for young folks. 1t
was meyer more enjoyed by it's read
ers than now, for in addition to the u.s.
ual serial stories, short articles,
ETC., there is department called "The
St. Nicholas League" in which the
children themselves have an oppor-
tunity to take part. There are said to
be nearly fifty thousand children now
belonging to the League, and prizes
are given out each month for tho best
stories, poems, drawings, and photo
graphs sent in by the young members.
Any reader of St. Nicholas may be
a member.
St, Nicholas announces for 1908
''The Story of King Arthur" written
and illustrated by Howard Pyle,
companion story to his lannon's
"Robin Hood" but which readers
of the manuscript think surpasses that
in the illustrations. Two short stor-
les by Miss. Alcott written for her
little nieces and never before publish
ed, will soon appear in st. Nicholas,
with other stories and articles by the
author of "Mrs. Wigs OF the Cabbage
Patch" by Ruth McEnery Stuart,
Frank r, Stockton, Clara Morris, and
scores of other we'll known writer's.
ST. Nicholas makes a specially of pa
pers of information, richly illust ated
articles on practical subjects, like the
Navy Yard, the Assay Office, ect.
The price of St. Nicholas is three
dollars a year. The publishers an
nounce that new subscribers who be-
gin with January may receive the
November and December number free,
and so begin the volume and get the
commencement of all the serials. The
publishers are The Century Co., Uni
on Square, New York.

A New Church.

A new church edifice of the most an
Gent denomination will soo1 be erect
ed in Glenwood-in fact the work on
the foundation for the same will be
started on next Monday if the weather
Is favorable. Rev. FIR. O'Connor of
Sank Centre has been here few times
lately interviewing in particular the
people whose faith still clings to the
tentes and teachings ofthe Roman Cath
olic church as to their desire in the
matter of building a suitable place in
which to conduct divine worship. He
has met with most fattering encour-
agement-not alone among believers
In the Catholic faith but also among
the protestants. A sufficient amount
has already been subscribed and paid
in to warrant the beginning of the
work of construction of a church edi-
flee. 1t is not expected that any more
will be done this fall than the building
OF the foundation. The site procured
for the purpose is the corner lot oppo-
site the new school building.
1t is certainly move in the right
direction to have established here
. church organization of this kind.
Many are, the people who have ex-
pressed a desire to come here and
make their home, but having found no
church here representing their faith
have gene elsewhere. Father O'Con-
nor is deserving of due credit for his
kindly effort in the matter of supply
ing this long felt want.-Glenwood

Completed,

Charles M. Boss has completed his
contract for grading the half-mile
track on the new fair grounds in the
southeast part of the city. Those who
are familiar with.what a track should
be say that there is nothing finer in the
state, Not only is it up to all require
ments for first-class regulation trot-
ting track, but tie surface is all that
could be desired. Tt will neither be
dusty in dry weather nor muddy and
slippery in wet. 1t adds another to
the many attractions of Sank Centre,
and another season there will be good
races here, and in the fall fine agri-
cultural fair.

THE ELECTION.
1t Was a Raw Day, and Little
Enthusiasm Manifest.

No one who CHANGED to be upon oul
streets on Tuesday would have had
occasion to think anything extrordi'
nary was transporting in the city--muct
Hess an important State, Congressional
and County election. There were nc
crowds, no hustle, no excited ror ex.
citing talk-but rather subdued,
Sunday-like appearance. At inter
walls a carriage passed loaded with
voters who were conveyed to the polls
from remote points in the city.
AS had been the campaign so was
the election-dull and colorlass. But
for the fact that our genial fellow
townsman, DR.. Dubois, was candi-
.date for Congress it is probable that
not more than half vote would have
been polled. 1t was, most pointedly
an off year election.
The day itself contributed not lit
tie to the apathetlc feeling. 1t was
chilly, raw and cloudy, disagreeable
northwest wind prevailing, and no one
stood upon the street longer than ur-
gent necessity demanded.
The following are the returns for
the city by wards, the total vote being
about seventy-five short of full
poll:

SUMMARY.

From a republican standpoint there
are several surprises in these returns.
Why Commissioner Smith should have
run so far behind is inexplicable. He
had made first class officer, and the
city is indebted to him for many SUBJ
stantial favors. And the same may be
said of M. L. Webb-he lost fort v
republican votes, and yet the city new
err had more efficient man on the city
council.
Governor Van SAINT received full
> party vote good and strong-running
nearly fifty ahead of the balance of
the whole ticket.
DR.. Dubois received large compli-
menary vote in the city, where every
body is his personal friend. The gap
between Mr.. Buchanan and Gov. Van
SAINT is 223, indicating that more than
a hundred persons who voted for Coy.
Van SAINT cast their ballots for the
Doctor.
The election closed the dullest cam
paign ever conducted prior to gener-
al election INVOLVING State and
congressional tickets. The republi-
cans held but one meeting and the
democrats none at all in this city.
There was little street discussion and
no enthusiasm either before or on cleo
+ion day

President Stuyvesant Fish. Of the
Illinois Central railroad. says: You
may say that the Illinois Central is not
in any way CONNECTED or affiliated
with the deal of the Rock Island and
the Frisco. For that matter, We are
not in the amlgamation business and
have 70 connection whatever with
this or any such transaction. We are
not seeking a combination with any
other railroad and not forming any
sort of securities company. You may
make that just as broad as you
please. for it is a fact that the Illinois
Central is absolutely divorced from
this Frisco deal and all other deals of
that kind. We are devoting ourselves
assiduously to the management of our
