RAILROAD Y.M C. A. AT CAIRO

\. NJ. Bruncr, state secretary of

doing things with dispatch, especially
when there il chance in sight of
securing authority from a railroad
company for a new railroad Y. NJ. C..
y. Last week, hoy ever, he lowered
his record One afternoon he was
called to the gem raj offices of the
Illinois Central in Chicago and there
he was asked To make an inyestiga-
ton of conditions at Mounds, a sub
urb of Cairo. where the company has
extensive interests. At 5:45 that
same afternoon he left for the south,
arriving at Mounds the next morning.
BY night he was through with his
work and took Il train for Chicago.
The following morning he was there
and had a report ready for the of
ficials of the road.
He had Travelled over 200 miles and
completed his work within 10 hours
of the time when first asked to make
the investigation and his rccommcn-
dation favored the establishing of Il
branch of the work. To make the
story end properly it should be said
that the Illinois Central officials took
the matter up and ordered AN apPro-
priatiOn for the building with CORES
ponding dispatch. But, sorry to re
late, the truth would not bear out
such a statement. for other business
matters interfered at this junction
and while there is little doubt that
favorable action will he taken i'm the
end, il was found necessary to lay
the matter over for few days.

Miss Allen have all been drawn by
Mrs. Edward Seidle, of the Metro
politan opera house, New York, and
the scenic work has been entrusted
to the capable hands of Gates q Mo

scale. and the revival of the
famous old play, it is hoped, will
prove a wholly satisfactory one. The
role of Julia. which Miss Allen will
essay. is one of the most difficult
known to the stage. inasmuch the
character is intended to portray wo-
man in all her varying moods. 1t
has for half century been regarded
as the supreme test or ability, and
hence quite an extraordinary number

English stage. have been ambitious

FINANCIER Is NEEDED
IN THE COUNTY BOARD

The board of supervisors is in need
of members who have shown their
worth as financiers To help put the
county on safe. substantial and
businesslike basis in money matters.
The least that can be said of present
methods is that they are weak, shift
less and misleading.
The financial reports given out
from time TO time lead the public to
believe that there is an annual sur
plus in the country treasury, while
The fact is that, even with the added
five-miil tax levied for the payment
OF the court house bonds by Il special
vote of the people, there is a constant
deficiency that is being met with
continuous issue of overdrafts.
In this manner the present admin
istration of county officials has car
ried the matter along To shove off
upon the next. Unless this condition
of affairs is soon checked the people
will he called upon one of these days
to either vote for Il larger tax or to
rcpudiatc. Let us look to the men
we are choosing as members of the
county board. John T. Shields, the
democratic candidate for supervisor.
is former member of the board and
during his connection with that body
he served ON the finance committee.
Republicans and democrats alike adj
nit that he was one of the most com
petent financiers ever on the commit
tee. Vote for him tomorrow.

THE GIRL WHO LAUGHS.

The girl who laughs--God bless herr.
Thrice blesses herself the while;
No music of earth
Has nobler worth
Than that which voices a smile.
The girl who laughs-life needs her;
There is never ain hour so sad
But wakes the thrills
TO the ripping trills
OF the laugh of lass who's glad.

twelve men who were killed at this
spot in the first battle of the Black
Hawk war in 1892. The legislature
appropriated s. 900 for the monument
and the people Of Ogle county have
bought the ground.
On MAY u. 1882. what * known as

The bodies of the men who died he
rocially at Stillman's Run, while COW

on the ground. The next day they
were buried with military honors by

graves remained unmarked for 81
years, with the inevitable result that
the exact locatio was finally lost al

tematic search happily resulted in
their discovery. some distance from
the spot named by tradition. One
skeleton was eXhumed i'm an almost
perfect state of preservation, and the
