Looking Back to 1890-- Part 2: Don't Get Drunk and Steal in Genoa

**  The -11 degrees on Sunday was the lowest of this winter.

**  A new timetable for the C &NW RR.  The Sunday passenger train is discontinued.  Because of this, Sycamore will not be receiving Sunday newspapers from Chicago.

**  The prohibition office was leased by two Chicago gentlemen who will start a Democratic paper.

**  Fred Davis, 19, got drunk in Genoa and stole a watch and some money.  he pleaded guilty Tuesday.  It was his first conviction and in view of his youth, given the lightest sentence possible.  One year in prison.
