The Special Assessment roll is now completed and the notices have been mailed to those who have been assessed. The amount which will be found on the several notices is the total amount to be paid in ten yearsy in installments which will he made payable yearly. The first installment will be due on oT before the first of January 1898, and others each year thereafter until all are paid. Ti e collector will give public notice when he ready to receive the same. However, any who wish can pay their assessment all at once and save the six per cei.t interest. Some who have received these notices do not seem to understand the matter. There are those who think they must r ay the amount on their notices each year for ten years, and others that they are obliged to pay all of it at once. All such should look up the matter carefully and learn the exact facts, which are substan- ially as we have stated them above With each one's assessment cut into ten annual payments it cannot be burden­ some to anyone. And as the several amounts assessed to the different parties is much less than was first expected it is to be hoped it will meet with universal satisfaction. Extraordinary Attraction. The marvel of the age. Under the au­ spices of the Willing Workers Society, at the City Hall, on Friday evening, Oct. 8, 1897. Amet's Magniscope, showing Edison's animated pictures in the most realistic way. What is the Magniscope? It is the most improved apparatus for showing-- on a screen in life size--people, animals, engines, water, etc., in actual motion, showing every movement ot face and figure, and machine. Such semblance of life as to surpass all description. Among the scenes to be seen will be: Passing trains going 60 miles an hour, showiug every turn of the wheels. Ocean waves tossing, foaming and breaking. Horses prancing, stamping, in perfect move­ ment. The famouH kissing scene, Farm scene, etc A tine Stereopticon will also be used to add to the pictures This will be assisted by capable home talent. This machine run over 300 nights at Keith's Theatre, New York. Over 400 nights at Schiller Theatre, Chicago. Admission, 25 and 15 cents. Do not miss this opportunity. An Attempted Hold-Up. Our village was the scene of on at­ tempted hold-up on Saturday evening last, and the result is that Jas Comisky, who has an unenviable reputation, and who has served several terms in the county jail for misconduct, now lan­ guishes behind the baro with a fair pros­ pect of going down the road for a term of years. It appears that he attempted to gain an entrance to the residence of Fred Schnorr, about nine o'clock in the evening, evidently knowing that Mr. Schnorr was away from home, but being unsuccessful in this he laid in wait behind a large rose bush in his yard, and when Mr. Schnorr came home, about half past nine, be violently assaulted him. Mr. Schnorr's loud cries for help brought young ieo. Hanly and a Block boy to his assistance, when Comisky immediate­ ly fled across the road and jumped the fence into the yard of W . F. Gallaher. He was followed by the two young men named, who, with Mr. Gallaher, watched him until Marshal Walsh arrived, who took him into custody. He was arrang­ ed before Esquire Cristy on Monday morning, and after the examination of the witnesses, who testified substantially ai above, he was bound over to the Grand Jury, under §500 bail, which fail ing to secure he was taken to the Wood­ stock Jail. That robbery was his intention then is no doubt. Comisky claims to have been drunk and to have no recollection of the affair, but it is the general opinion that he knew more than he is willing to admit, as it was proven that he made a lively run across the street for a drunken man. He will probably have plenty of time to refresh his memory before he is at liberty again. LIST of letters remaining uncalled for in the P.

KATE F. HOWE, Teacher. Florence Granger, Irene McOmber, Dena Nickles, Caroline Spurling, Alice Swgedman, DIED --Suddenly at Douglas, Wyoming Sept. 27, John, youngest son of Mary and Timothy Hurley, of Richmond, ill., in the twenty-fifth year of his age. The deceased had been a brakeman on the C. & N. W. li'y for the greater part of the past ten years, and two months ago started west with his brother to continue his occupation on the C. V. N, R'y. On Monday, Sept. 27, while attending to his duties, in setting a brake he slipped from the brake beam, falling so that six cars •and the engine passed over him. He was discovered by a small boy who called the atteution df the train crew, who found him in the center of the track in a dying condition, yet not badly mangled when we take all into consideration. He was at once placed in charge of two skilled physicians, but died three hours later. He was conscious to within fifteen min­ utes and gave the information necessary as to the notifying of his condition to his folks. Feariug that the shock would be too much for his aged parents he begged them not to tell them but to send for his brother, Tom, who was on duty at the lime. No time was lost in forwarding the re­ mains to Richmond, a distance of 1,050 miles. They arrive on the ten o'clock train Thursday A. M. The sorrow that fell upon that home is too sacred to unveil. He leaves to mourn bis sudden death his parents, two sisters and three broth­ ers, who haye the sympathy of all who know them, and a gloom rests upon the entire community. His funeral on Friday, Ot.t. 1, called together relatives and friends for miles around to do honor to the memory of this youDg man. The floral tributes were many and beautiful and young ai d old were represented in the sorrowing company, who followed his remains to the Catholic church at Richmond, where Rev. O'Neill conducted mass?or the dead and also spoke words which were a balm to the wounded hearts of the relatives, friends and companions of their devoted and esteemed friend, Jack Hurley, whose remains, hidden in a flower laden casket, were soon borne by his young compan­ ions to rest beside his sister until the glad morning of the resurrection. May his soul rest in peace.
