From the October 23, 2013, MidWeek, Illinois.
Oct. 24, 1888:
** In Sycamore, it was discovered that there was an unnamed street so it became Waterman Street.
** (Some things don't change.) "There is too much political excitement in the air for a calm dealing out of justice, so jurors on Monday were excused from attendance until the first Monday after the election. Court was also adjourned until that date." (Must have had to do with that new pair of dirty words "career politician.")
**General Sherman's son and Stonewall Jackson's nephew occupy a desk together in the law office of Sen, Evarts in New York. (The war must be over.)
** Frank James, the ex-robber, has refused an offer of $125,000 and expenses to star three years in a play founded on his experiences.
Gotta Name That Street. --Cooter
