Adams County Awakens to Democratic Decline in Polls

The Quincy Herald laments a narrowing Democratic lead as Greeley’s strength wanes and Republicans gain ground. It urges organization, speakers, and funds to shore up local efforts in Adams County amid fears the party cannot sustain its statewide push and may fail in Illinois, Maine, Vermont, and beyond.

Gas ignites from water well in Jacksonville area

Workmen drilling for water at the Dun can Grove Addition property owned by Hare Chapin pierced a gas vein at about 115 feet. The gas, pure and of good quality, ignited after a lighted match was applied, flames rising eight to ten feet and burning for a long period. The same vein may be linked to the artesian well at the T. W. & W. R. Depot. Separately, George Lewis, the murderer of Enoch Dr. Hardcastle near Roadhouse in Greene county, was captured at Crete, Nebraska. He confessed and two Greene county men, McEvers and Selby, were arrested for unlawfully following him. Requisitions from Illinois Governor will likely free Lewis.
