Mr. and Mrs. Secor Cunningham went to Chicago for the winter Wednesday. ’ (Who are wetting dowu the elm trees in the Sampson parkway this dry weather? This isa work pro bono publico. Th1; subject of Sunday evening’s discourse at the First United Evan- gelical Church will be,“The Need of Sound Doctrine.” Among the contributors to the Chicago Record cook book is Marion W. Moseley of Highland Park. There may be other Park ladies. Died in this city on Saturday morning, Sept. 18th, 1897, Harry Ludvik,‘ only child of Olaf and Em- mi} Lindblom, aged 11 months and 15 days. Judge Dooley “dedicated” his new court house, Tuesday afternoon with two or three law suits, and some of his patrons “dedicated” the floor with their tobacco expectorations. Some one wants to know what is the quality of Frank Green’s ice cream. Well to tell you the truth. he makes «his cream out of a dull, whitish, thick scum that rises on the top of Jersey milk after it stands 12 to 24 hours in a cool place; while some other folks use the milk for their cream after Frank takes off the scum! Charles Patchen, the prescription clerk in the Cummings drug store, is all stirred up over the fact that the water tower painters have found in the tank a wheelbarrow load of dead birds. In flying over the tank the swirling, gurgling waters allure them and they fall in or beat the sides and are killed. Now Mr. Patchen says he can put up prescrip- tions to cure cholera, diphtheria, dolor in ventro and several other diseases, but when it comes to curing people who are poisoned from drinkâ€" ing lake water in which dead fish and drowned folks soak, and then filtered through a thick stratum of dead birds, his pharmaceutical knowledge and skill is pretty well exhausted. Seriously, we think the council should order a screen over the tOWer at once, to keep out dead birds, leaves, etc. The water is none too pure anyway and dead birds are a superfluous luxury.
