Local Election Ballot Error Prompted Legal Note
In Henry Marshall county the Rample ballot showed a candidate for City Attorney duplicated for the same office under multiple party lines. The Brimfield News editor is cited as possibly unaware of the 1898 amendment to section 3 abolishing that ballot provision. The writer urges referral to Attorney Potter for clarification. Also a worm remedy advertisement appears with White's Cream Vermilage price 2 5 and Dr Powell as distributor.

Story of Oglesby and Seward Courage at Washington
An unpublished account from the State Journal recounts how “Uncle Dick” Oglesby boosted Secretary Seward’s spirits during the Civil War. David Davis, Palmer, Hay, and others recall a dinner at the executive mansion where Seward’s gloom shifted after Oglesby’s bold, unguarded remark about mobilizing men and fighting England if needed. The tale includes a tense night visit to Seward, Oglesby’s rebuke, and Seward’s later reliance on his firm backing, with Davis noting Oglesby’s influence on national resolve.
