A boy with a brutal bargeman father escapes cruelty by fleeing to Antwerp. His mother hatches a plan to send him to St Andrew's to study carving. A year later the revived youth returns, revealing a carved pulpit replica and a prince's patronage, transforming the family's fate.
A chaotic Illinois column reports a jail escape in Mt. Vernon by Osborne, a sheriff attacked, a citizen mob reaction, and a hanging. It also covers a railway fatality near Moline, a Cairo fire, a Bloomington fire near Burns, burglaries in Macon, legal actions in Springfield, a jailer’s assault, a mule death in Pike, a steam boiler explosion at Waverly, and various political and financial notes including Illinois Central Railroad earnings and tax figures. The mix includes court rulings, elections, and social events across multiple towns and dates.
