Irrepressible progress in state politics and history
The 6th instant assembly session printed 5000 English and 2000 German copies of the governor’s message focusing on revision and new statutes. Miss Mary Chariton becomes third assistant clerk in the Illinois House, and women increasingly staff the secretary of state’s office with librarians and copyists.

Reply to Catholic Fair Committee From A C Wirb
A.C. Wirb replies to a Ritter of the Henry Republicate defending himself against church committee criticism over a New Year drawing sold by John Ford at his store. He insists the drawing was private, not for St Mary's Church, and condemns the committee for calling him a black sheep while urging fairness and public scrutiny. He stresses no interference with church plans and appeals to reciprocal ethics.
