NAuvoo, ILL., MAY q.

Marshal johnson nipped a young
fellow while he was speeding his
auto in going out of Nauvoo last Sat
urday afternoon. This young blood
evidently wanted to show people
along Nauvoo's business thorough
fare how fast his car could run out
of town, when the marshal interfer-
ed and hailed him into court for ex-
ceeding the speed limit regulated by
ordinance. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and the judge fined him IS
and costs, amounting in all to $685..
1t would be well for the marshal to
keep an eye on one or two Nauvoo
fellows who are in the habit OF
speeding their cars at times when
going through our business thorough
fares.
Chas. Koechli, one of Nauvoo's
highly respected citizens, died in his
home in the first ward, last Friday
evening at o'clock after suffering
with illness for considerable length
OF time, his complaint beginning with
typhoid fever, which he contracted
after the family moved to Fit. Madison
last fall. On removing toe their Maui
VOC home, he suffered relapse and
which caused his death. Mr.. Koechlf
was fiftyfour years of age at the
time OF his death, and leaves to
mourn his wife. one daughter and
one son. The funeral occurred from
the family residence last Sunday
afternoon and was in charge OF the
Modern Woodmen, of which lodge he
was a faithful member. The remains
were buried in the Nauvoo city
cemetery.
Nauvoo's Ladies' Priscilla club held
another interesting. meeting at the
home, of Mrs. Louis Schoell, last
Thursday afternoon. Splendid re-
freshments were served the guests
and all present enjoyed the meet
Last Saturday afternoon and even
ing was another banner business time
in Nauvoo and the city was filled
with automobiles from Iowa Our
barrel goods houses did land office
business, and our merchants were
compelled to keep open their bust
ness places until late hour In the
night. To make Nauvoo appear like
ored people were among the throng
of visitors.
Mayor Montgomery of Nauvoo, has
been so busy since he took the oath
of Office at the first meeting of the
city council to get all the city busi-
ness in shape that he has not yet
announced the beginning Of the straw
hat wearing season in Nauvoo, and
the result is that not many OF the
men folks had the courage to wear
this kind of headgear.
Harry, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Baxter, of Nauvoo. has been in Camp
Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia, for some
time, having been transferred there
from Camp Dodge. Iowa The young
mans parents sent him a wrist watch
on March l, and the time piece had
not reached it's destination at this
writing. The government officials
certainly ought to see that the soldier
boys who are fighting for this coun-
try, receive first class mail service
and should have preference over all

The Americans hold different

as bright as spring sunshine

wilted, trees were broken from the
rain of "tin can" gas shells and the

Nature showed the results OF the

Covered With Glory.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The larg-
est action in which Americans have
participated as unit has occurred at
Cantigny, near Montdidier In Picardy.
Troops which have been in that Sec
tor for some time covered themselves
with glory, capturing nearly two hun
dred Boche prisoners and inflicted
heavy losses in German dead and
wounded without themselves suffering
greatly.
This record of achievement is OIL
cially reported by General Pershing.
The engagement bears the ear marks
OF being especially sharp but the
Americans gave good account of them
selves.
The front coyered-one and one
quarter miles-was the largest stretch
on which a successful offensive oper-
alton has been carried out by Ameri-
cans to date. Cantigny was seized
and despite vicious German counter
attacks, was firmly held.
Active artilIerying was reported in
the Woevre and Lorraine Another
