In the Lime Light.

Last Sunday afternoon at Madison
the State Journal sent twenty reporters
to the saloons in that city to ascertain
the conditions and but two of the
seventy were found closed. The others
were open and many with the front
doors swinging wide. In some small
gambling was going on and in a num-
ber men were boozy. This is in viola
ton of the state law and the Journal
has put the question of law enforcement
up to the mayor.

poison not proving effective he decided
to take his life with a gun.

the bank it was soon discovered that
pieces of paper had been substituted
for the currency and as Smith had
brought the package from Lime Ridge
he was questioned.

Unique State Monument.

'Illinois contains the most unique
monument in the United States, u re-
production in granite of the log cabin
of the early settlers which dotted the
prairies during the era of the pioneer.
This remarkable monument is a vault
to contain the bodies of Rubin Flagg
and his wife, pioneer residents of
Plainfeld. 1t has been erected in the
cemetery.
The monument was carved from a
solid section of granite which weighed
$4,000 pounds. Six horses were re-
quired to haul it to the cemetery. 1t
required the constant time of several
workmen for six months to complete
it.
The monument is an exact reproduc-
ton of the log cabin erected by MIR.
Flagg when he and his wife first settle
ed in illinois. They were born in New
Hampshire and came to Plainfield
from that state in 1880.
Fort Beggs, one of the early defenses
and places of refuge was erected on a
spot but sixteen rods from the site of
the Flagg. Mr.. FIagg was soldier
during the Indian wars. He died in
1871 and his wife in 1876"

ENTRUSTED TO HIS
CARE.

triton and smitings of conscience

minutes after he had fired two shots
into himself from e-barreled
shotgun.

CLUB MEMBERS
DISCUSS DRAMA
THE MEN AND WOMEN PLAY
WRIGHTS OF Ar1ERlCA TWEEN
TIETH CENTURY r1EETING.

Mrs. Margaret Hill and Mrs. B. A.
Clarke carried out the program at the
Twentieth Century Club Thursday
afternoon, pre- senting respectively the
Women and the Men Playwrights of
America. In the discussion the re-
cent developments of the drama of the
idea was touched upon and the opin-
ion advanced that recent presentations
of this style of play have already re-
suited in an increasing public appetite
for the better drama which seeks to
provoke thought and stimulate intelli-
gent interest. The love theme, which
heretofore constituted the dominant
motive of the popular drama, has been
subordinated to larger and more vi
tai theme of universal appeal and one
more concerned with the destiny of
humanity as whole than with that
of one or two individuals. The social
consciousness and the search for indi-
vidual betterment though social ad-
vancemenJ are recognized. Among
examples of this class of drama were
mentioned The Fourth Estate, The
Melting Pot and The Passing of the
Third Floor Back.
The club is planning to revive the va
cation sewing school which gave such
good satisfaction last summer.
Next meeting will be held April IA
with Mrs. Getchell on Cheeks hill.

Admits Taking rIOney.

The cOnsignee put Smith through a
close examination and after being
questioned at considerable length the
young drayman broke down and ad-
mitted that in a moment of weakness
he had abstracted the $1,000 and substi-
tuted blank paper in its stead.
Inasmuch as the money was return
ed intact, none of the persons interest
ed cared to prosecute Smith and be-
yOnd giving him sound lecture, they
let the matter drop. Heretofore, the
young man had been honest and hard
working and his penitence was so
genuine that the owners of the money
heartily pitied him.
However, the kind wOrds'of those
who might have sent him to the peni-
tentiary seemed only to add to Smiths
remOrse and seemingly the pangs of
conscience finally proved too much
for him to bear. Going to his Lime
Ridge home Tuesday evening Smith
took down his shotgun, loaded it and
fired one charge into his body.
