An Exhibition of
Pictures in Paonia

Recognizing the TACT tnat our
schoolrooms are in need of educa
tional pictures, l have arranged,
with the hearty support of my
teachers, to hold the Elsom Art
Exhibit in Eiseakramer's Hall
over the Racket store from Dec.
13 to Dec. 10.
The influence of good pictures
upon a child cannot be oyeresti-
mated. The trend of many a life
has been influenced by single
picture.
This Exhibition of pictures is
one of more than ordinary inter
est. II consists of carbon photo
graphs and engravings. loaned by
A. w. Elson & Co.. of Boston,
Mass. The collection IS large
one and contains only the very
best reproductions OF the master
pieces of art of different countries
and periods. Nearly every gal
lery and country in the world
would have to be visited to see
the original pictures which are
here brought together in one col
lection.
The collection comprises two
hundred subjects representing all
the principle schools OF art and
including many reproductions OF
sculpture. architecture and i'm
portant views from nature. Few
collections have ever been brought
together which so completely
cover the history OF art OF all
times as this. An excellent cata
log has been prepared giving i'm
portant facts bearing on the ar
lists and their masterpieces. The
catalog will be on sale at the ex-
hibition hall. or may be purchased
from any pupil or teacher.
Your attendance at the Exhibit
will greatly encourage US. The
Elson Company has offered to at
fix, without charge, on each pic
ture presented to the school by
an individual or society, bras;
plate suitably inscribed With the
name of the donor. Such a gift
or any special contribution to the
picture fund. will be most vel

ed in what seems to US to be oil
vital Importance.
Cordially yours.

TELEPHONE LINE
UNDERGOES CHANGE
lIinois Western Ceases to Exist BY
Transposing Two Words
Of Its Name.

Word comes from Macomb that
the Illinois Western Telephone com.
pany, the name under which ii has
been known for eight years, has
ceased to exist as such and in its
place there returns the Western ILL
nois Telephone company, and with
the change of name, incidental to re-
organization, comes an increase in
capital stock, the amount named be-
ing 100000 instead OF 100000.
A trust deed either has been or will
be filed in the counties in which the
company holds property-McDon-
ough. Hancock, Schuyler, Adams,
Brown and Fulton securing the
Western Trust and Savings bank of
Chicago for 100000 in 5 per cent
gold bonds. The stockholders in the
old company will exchange their
stock and accrued earnings for stock
in the new company.
The company does long distance
business into and out OF Quincy un.
der contract with the Quincy Home
Telephone company, using the wires
and cables Of this company in the
city limits and the switchboard at
the central exchange, Sixth and
Broadway. It has no property OF its
own in that city.
The Macomb Journal in noting the
change of organization comments on
1T as follows:
with the sale of the bonds the
company will at once proceed TO i'm.

company started from almost moth

Inc Mcclure home was not enter
ed and the gas money stolen on the
same day that the residence was ran
sacked. as the supply of gas seemed
plentiful up until this week.
Mrs. Mcclure was away from home
