Record of Rail Stock Collapse and Independence Reflections

An article notes dramatic four month declines in railway shares led by Chicago and Northwestern from 205 to 137.50 per share, wiping out wealth of many and triggering bankruptcy for highly leveraged investors. It also discusses Fourth of July ideals, rail fares debate, Wisconsin politics, Garst and LaFollette dynamics, and a Des Moines girl’s multiple guardianship study ending with a marriage suitor’s blanket proposal.

Financial woes dog Chau tauqua effort in Maquoketa

The Maquoketa Excelsior notes two factors hurting this year’s Chau tauqua: late season reducing farmers’ corn savings and unpopular advance ticket sales among merchants.

Local Wit and World Wares in a Quirky Column

The Philadelphia Record column riffs on opinions and quirks of modern life. It quips about self valuation heaven bound by some, widowers as ideal husbands, and the buzz of fashion with No 2 shoes.
