OCTOBER 22, 1913:
MOVING PICTURE TALKIES
"It is certain that the invention of Thomas A. Edison of the talking pictures would be pronounced one of the seven wonders of the world. The wizard's latest and generally-conceded most wonderful invention, the Talking Moving Picture, will be exhibited in a special program at Townsend Theater in Sycamore on Friday.
"Not the usual moving pictures; the laughing, talking, singing motion pictures make the pictured actors appear real."
DISEASE
The state board of education has ordered an investigation at Rockford to trace the cause of the epidemic of typhoid fever there.
Diphtheria still prevails at DeKalb. Eight homes were under quarantine early this week, and one was released from quarantine.
MINE DISASTER
Fourteen bodies have been removed and 22 men found alive by rescuers working the Satg Canyon coal mine in New Mexico, where an explosion entombed the day shift, numbering from 230 to 280 men.
