Seeing that the man was already well loaded, John Conlon refused. Tbe man got mad and 'said, "Do you know who I am I am John L.

Sullivan in disguise," and wanted to thrash the alderman. He was gently placed on the outside three times in succession and at last had-to be forcibly, kicked our. The man wandered around a while, and shortly got into John G. Miller's. Seeing in Mr.

Miller a man whom he thought to be Mr. Conlon he sailed into him to lick him for putting him out. When Miller got through with him, he departed sadder, but wiser. is probable that Rev. C.

J. O'Callaghan, D. formerly of this city, will be the bishop of the new division of the Chicago diocese of the Catholic church. Tne following was printed in the Galena Gazette before Dr. O'Callaghan was sent to Galena, in reference to the division: The association of the names of Father Dewey and Dr.

O'Callaghan with the vacant pastorate indicates that Archbishop Feehan intends sending one of his ablest priests to Galena, p.prt thin is taken by some as indicating that the talked cJ dMr.ion of the diocese will soon be made and that" Galena will be made the diocesan with the new priest as bishop. This seems plausible, as Galena has an equal right to such a distinction at the hands o' the Roman Catholic authorities with Rockford and Freeport, which would be the other candidates for the honor.

The five Chicago players were not added to the Diion club, and probably existed only in the imagination of the party who'gave in the item. Sterling went to bat first and got in four runs. In the next two innings they got zeros, but after that they ran the score away up. Redmond pitched for Sterling during the first part of the gau.e, when Dixon got four runs, after which Dowd. pitched and the Dixons got nothing but zeros.

The Sterling boys nearly 411 did good playing, although they did not have to play hard to beat their friends from up the river. Several of the Dixons also did well. The makeup of the clubs was as follows: Dixon, Roat Null 8b, Adams 2b, McBride If, Kitch Ib, Vale of, Woodyatt Seese SB, Worthlngton rf. Sterling, Dallas Dowd SB, Poole Ib. Redwood Tolllver 3b, Ria- pin 2b, Williams If, Scanlan of, Grogan rf.The score was as follows: Starling-4 001 1522 DUou 0 '1 0 3 0 0.000—4 special to the Chicago Tio es from Elgin tells how Dr.

P. L. McKinnie of Moiine, the head physician and one of the governing board of the Mod ern Woodman of America came there one evening this week and demanded to see the proof of deaths filed' with J. head refused he swore but a writ of attatchment. Root's secretary barred the a deputy sheriff burst it in, but the papers sought had been passed from" window to window to the ground to a girl employed in the office, who had gone outaide, and who fled with and secreted them.

Dr. McKinnie believes there has been a misappropriation of the funds of the society. Ha said that he would not rest tho matter waa thoroughly investigated. The chances are some one high in authority will have to account for certain funda, and that it will show the order haa been systematically defrauded out of a large Bum, reaching into the thousands. The tiouble was afterward settled amicably, between Dr.

McKinnie and Head Root. Murray, superintendent of the Galena division of the Chicago Northweatern railway, ia dangeronaly ill at his Oak Park home, and there ia a possibility of hia illness having a fatal termination. The record of the officers of the Northwestern gives the scant information concerning him that he was born in Wheeler, N. in 1883, and entered the service of the Galena Chicago lUnion railway ia March, 1855. Thla road waa purchased by the Chicago Northwestern, and he haa ever since remained in the service of that company.

He waa agent for that company at Dixon, and was appointed agent at East Chicago by Superintendent Cuyley In 1875, and a vacancy occurring in 1875 in the super- indendeucy of the Galena division, he was appointed to that position and haa held it since. He was a robust, full figured man and and had always enjoyed singularly good health until quite recently. Three weeks ago his health began to fail and he was induced to consult a doctor, by whom he waa told that he hud serious heart trouble and waa advlae.d to go home at once aud remain there for ninety days. Iruu IFe- 1 Huntlin lived toseeHatch- inson Co's. Wild would have been, inspired to do the work of his life.

Vivid as was the famous author's imagination, and great as was his experience in border life, he never, in the wildest dreams of his fancy, conceived auch thrilling scenes; nor did he ever, in all hia experience, behold such thrilling and entrancing sights as those presented in the new Wild West of the big show. are -originators they copy nothing. The great scenes from border life, the awe-inspiring and highly dramatic encounters between the reds and whites, the tableaux formed and the pictures portrayed, are simply surprising, and many of them being reproductions actual occurrences, go far to prove the old adage, that truth is stranger than fiction. There is enough of the dramatic and spectacular element in the 1 Wild West scenes enacted at the big show to make the innovation of their production one of the greatest and most original and pleasing changes known to the circns world. Everything about the entire show, in fact, in.

all its departments, speaks of a clear cut-away from the old-time saw dust rings and makes the big show the "boss" of the day. There will be two exhibitions during the day, one at 2 and 7 p. m. Those desiring to attend should go early and secure seats, aa there every probability that the "Standing room only" sign will be Haunting in the breeze long before the hour for opening. This monster show will be at Sterling Wednesday, July 31.
