From a Chicago daily paper we learn of the death of a former resident of this place, Richard Mulvaney, in which it gives the following account of his demise: “The body of Richard Mulvaney, of Gilman, 111., was found yesterday in the lagoon at Lincoln Park. Mulvaney was subject to attacks of epilepsy and it is thought he was stricken Tuesday night while standing near the water’s edge and and rolled in. The coroner’s jury returned an open verdict. ” It will be remembered that he was in the saloon business here with a man by the name of Carew, about five or six years ago, and they occupied the room now used by J. R. Kight. About one more month will see the contract finished at Momence and the rock all out.

Union services will be held at the Presbyterian church on Thanksgiving. A man with an advertising scheme struck town the first of the week. He was patronized of course. The strangest part of the whole affair was, we noticed the cards of business men on the sheet that never pretend to advertise in the home newspapers at all. Yet they will complain about the home people going to Chicago and elsewhere to buy goods. The Rev. Sam Jones is trying to arouse religious enthusiasm in Memphis. He has secured an orchestra and a soloist, and special trains are to be run from suburban districts during his three weeks’ labors.

The affairs of the awful Wakarusha ditch case are still in the soup. It seems that the joint board still continues on a wrangle about the thing and can come to no definite conclusion. They met again last Tuesday, but for what they did, might have stayed at home and saved the county the expense, as neither board could agree. There the matter stands and they even adjourned without making a day to meet, again. As to the outcome of this we are unable, to say, but it looks as if they have had plenty of time to come to some sort of a decision, one way or the other. We could not improve the quality if paid double the price. De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best salve that experience can produce, or that money can buy. A. F. Long & Co.
