Former Illinois residents living in voluntary exile in Washington have organized the Illinois club of Washington in Seattle with about 400 members.

Langley and Edward Judd. Regular meetings occur on the last Thursday each month with officers led by Judge R. A. Ballinger as president.

Pastor Sent to Asylum in Wisconsin Court Ruling
Rev S V Williams 31 of Tampico was deemed insane by a three physician commission in Judge Ward's court and sent to Watertown for treatment. He formerly led the Tampico Christian church and quit after a sensational La Porte sermon in which he confessed sins and claimed a wealthy woman accused him of indiscretion. His wife, also a minister, has since lived with William Parent at Tampico. Williams wandered through Illinois and Wisconsin, calling Mendota and Morrison en route, before arrest and commitment.

County libraries urged to aid rural readers
An important discussion argues that county libraries proposed for Stephenson County and towns like Freeport and Bloomington could extend access to books beyond city limits. It cites traveling libraries and county boards, urging state law amendments to allow county libraries with centralized headquarters to serve rural communities cost effectively. The Bloomington and Chicago Tribune proposals favor a county library system funded by the county as a tax body, with city librarians guiding countywide distribution and traveling library departments for outlying areas.
