WILLOW  GROVE  SCHOOL
IN  VAN  BUREN  TOWNSHIP
----------
Closed Wednesday With a Big Din-
ner and a Fine Program by Pupils
in the Afternoon.
----------
          Wednesday marked the close of the Willow Grove school in Van Buren township taught by  Miss Grace Billman.  At the noon hour the patrons gathered with well filled baskets and the improvised tables were soon groaning under the weight of the good "eats" which the ladies of VanBuren township know so well how to prepare.
          After everyone had done justice to the fine dinner, a short program was rendered by the pupils, following which all departed, expressing their appreciation of the successful work done by teacher and pupils during the past term.

FIERCE  LOOKING  RUNAWAY
----------
Driver Stops Horse By Turning it into Elevator.
------------
         One of the junk dealers of the city, a foreigner, had a narrow escape from having his outfit demolished Monday morning near the  Billman  mill, on the north side of the city.  The animal became frightened and ran away and was nearing the steep embankment at the south end of the Big Blue river bridge when the man pulled the runaway horse into one end of the elevator, bringing it to a sudden stop.  Had the driver not caused the horse to make the sudden turn, all would have gone over the embankment and it might have ended badly from the driver, horse and wagon.

          "I was elected to appeal the fish law.  If I accomplish it I will be re-elected, and if I don't I will be thrown into the river," said George S. Billman of Shelby County, who was getting acquainted with fellow legislators in the lobby of the Denison yesterday.  Mr. Billman, who says he will be the youngest lawmaker in the Assembly, is 26 years old and has been a school teacher in Shelby County for the last five years.  He attributes his election to the fact that he was a baseball player and had managed a team in Shelbyville for several years.
          "I carried every precinct in the county where I had played ball and I am sure that the 'fans' elected me.  No, I have not thought about Sunday baseball law or anything else, except that I am up here to repeal the fish law.  You see, a few game wardens came into the county last spring and arrested several farmers for violations of the law in catching fish and when I told them that I stood for the repeal of the law they supported me to a man.  So it's up to me to make good or get a ducking when I go back."
