Van Wert Times prints remark on war and sparrows
An itemized, era wide TV. A Neoga, Ill. nonagenarian learns to write, and a roundup notes rail earnings up 17 percent in March 1887, with war tension in Europe, French schooling bans in Alsace Lorraine, global rail land deals, and a Bavarian balloon venture. The piece mocks school revolts and praises weather and sport.

The Grand Army Pension and Bank Missing Headline
The Grand Army of the Republic council met at the Grand Pacific Hotel with Lucius V. Fairchild presiding and endorsed withholding pension information from the New York Tribune, urging posts to act in unity with the organization. In Detroit, banker William B. Mitchell vanished with all bank funds, leaving creditors and depositors in distress as drafts issued earlier went unpaid and the shortage size remains uncertain.
