The attractions of our roller rink
are still kept up, while those in
most places have closed The fine
masquerade carnival on Thursday

800 visitors who enjoyed the ex-

The Illinois Senatorial contest
that has been kept UP all the Win
ter and Spring because of the even
balance of the two parties in the
legislature, was brought to a close
yesterday by the reelection of Gen.
John A. Logan. 1t is probable an
election would not have been reach
ed at all, but for the special cleo
ton to fill a vacancy caused by
death, the Republicans succeeding
in electing their candidate by a
sharp move in a democratic dis
trict.
1t is difficult to appreciate the
feelings that prompt such vandal-
ism as is reported to us as COM
mitted recently in the old Method
ist Cemetery, being the wanton de
spelling of graves, wrenching the
tomb stones from their sockets and
tossing them about il an abandon
of devlish sport. The headstone of
Peter testers grave, is snapped in
two and others are more or less in
jured. Among those thus desc
Grated were the graves of the first
wife of William w. Nelson and a
son of John Bailey.
PROF. J. H. GROVES TAKES
OVER NEW JOB
| Prof. James H. Groves, whom we
noted last week as having been ap-
pointed a special agent in the Bill
reau of Labor, left on Monday for
Newark to commence on the first
duties of his office, his initial work
being with William Dean, at New
ark, who doubtless will "book him
up" thoroughly on the ins and outs
of manufacturing His duties will
be to find out all that pertains to
labor, the strikes and what may be
the cause, labor unions, and the
wages as compared with the old
countries. He will, we are pleased
to state, make Smyrna his place Of
residence, at least so long as his
field of investigation is confined to
Delaware and New Jersey.
JUG BREAKING AT SEVERSON
CHURCH
The Sunday School of Severson's
Church, live and progressive one,
feel in need of a new and better
library for their school, and, acting
on the principle that where there
is will there can always be a
way" they have set about to OBJ
tain it. Accordingly, seventeen of
the girls who were considered to
have the art of persuasiveness were
provided with little jugs that would
take in anything from quarter to
a penny (the first-named with
mucn the best grace, made for the
purpose, and during the past week
they have diligently magnified the
office of little gatherers. The mea-
sure of success will be ascertained
at an entertainment held at the
church tomorrow evening, at which
the jug breaking" will form an in
teresting and animated feature.
