Another Legal Holiday.

The State Senate has passed finally
the House bill making October IL
legal holiday, to be known as Columbus
Day, the idea being that Christopher
Columbus was born on that day. l,
would seem that the anniversary OF
the birth OF the man who discovered
America should be properly celebrated,
but nobody knows the day, nor the
month, nor the year In which Columbus
was born. The cyclopedias, dictionaries
and biographies agree that the great
navigator came into this world some
where between 1896 and l457 The
nest trustworthy evidence seems to
show that he was born not long before
March %, 1446 But that is really i'm
material .-Punxsutawney Spirit.

Loop and Goodville, was struck and al
most instantly killed Monday night

had a shanty at Robinson Cut. That
night he gave shelter to two tramps,
and when he heard the train coming he
ran out In the darkness and across the
railroad tracks. The train was nearer
than the watchman had calculated, for
it was upon him as soon as he
stepped on the tracks. The tramps
heard him scream and rushed out, but
could do nothing until the train had
passed. Then they found Mr. Neal and
carried him into the little house and
one hastened to Loop and informed
William Barrett OF the accident. When
they returned to the shanty MIR. Neal
was dead. His skull was fractured and
legs we're broken. The next morning
the body was aiken to the Neal home
