From some castle Tin the air..

And you drink til you see your manhood sink
In the depths of its dregs, alas

While the future shows nothing but sormcested waves,
Where in time you will end the strife

Would Limit Speed to 10 Miles,

precaution that may greatly reduce the
loss of life by trains and add to the
safety of the pedestrians who are fore
ed to cross the tracks daily. The ordi-
nance committee presented an ordi-
nance to the village board at its reg
ular session Monday evening, limiting
the speed of passenger trains to 10
miles and freight trains to six miles
an hour through the village. This will
apply to all three roadside Rock Is

Ninth and Tenth street crossings. This
will affect all three roads at Seventh
street, but only the Rock Island at the
other two crossings. The passage of
the ordinance was deferred until flu
