bell was donated by Mrs. Oberstaller

kindness of John Rathburn, the contrac-

The chapel, which was dedicated on

suitable bell as soon as it could be OBJ
tanned. The regular services, morning

continuously without pastor through

Switchman Convicted of Murder OF
Hugo Alyine Smiles When Sent
to Penitentiary.
GIVES WEAPON TO HIS COUNSEL
Will Be Taken First OF Week to Joliet
John Kausky Gets 30 Days
in County Jail.

Still showing no remorse for his
deed and smiling as though nothing
unusual was happening, Dan Chasteen,
convicted of the murder of Hugo AL
vine, Rock Island railroad detective,
was this morning formally sentenced
to the state penitentiary for a term Of
IA years. Under the statute, Chasteen,
for good behavior, may have his term
reduced to years and months.
There were few formalities connect
ed with the passing of sentence. The
court room had but few spectators in
it at the time Chasteen was entirely
unconcerned when summoned to the
bench to hear Judge Church pronounce
the words which meant long years in
prison.
The court asked the defendant if he
had any statement to make, but the de-
PENDANT acted as If he didn't hear
the suggestion and then resumed his
seat. His wife was not in court.
The valuable automatic revolver
with which Chasteen killed Alvine was
turned over to H. M. McCaskrin and
B. A. Stewart, counsel for the defense.
1t is understood there was considerable
discussion as to who would be given
the weapon, but the defendant present
ed it to his lawyers. Chasteen will
probably not be taken to Joliet until
the first of the week.
Kausky Gets 80 Days.
John Kausky, indicted for the rob-
berry of Thomas Vaughn, east of the
Silvis shops, Nov. Is last, plead guilty
to petit larceny in circuit court this

relatively, that we build up the general average Of our education. To
this end am a firm believer i'll advancing our Rural and small town
schools so that the 50 per cent who do not go away to school may
secure better advantages. Not less higher education but a higher
average for the common school scholar.

Making our School Funds more available for loaning on real
estate. Am on record as voting to increase the per cent to be loaned
on farm lands and advocated loans up to one half of the appraised
value instead Of oncthrd.
The strengthening Of the law governing Public Warehouses; and
suggest in this connection the bonding Of warehouses to cover the
maximum outstanding obligations, so storage tickets would be abso-
utely safe. In this connection am in favor Of rigid, and fair laws
governing any institution that receives it's franchise to do business
from the state.
1t would hot seem wise to me for the State to enter directly INTO
business itself, except as a last resort. Then if deemed wise land y

such ventures within the state where we have absolute control of
them. 1t seems to me that before the state enters into opcration of
business the cooperative method should have full and fair trial.
