Sterling and Rock Falls thriving mills along Rock River
From Sterling in Whiteside County to Rock Falls, a thriving water powered network grew around a dam and race on the Rock River. The hedge of landowners share upkeep costs and a local landowner founded Rock Falls after securing water power. The area hosts about 7,000 people, strong schools and commerce. Sycamore, Illinois, emerges as a growing commercial hub with Marsh Harvester works employing thousands and attracting capital. A Mormon massacre at Mountain Meadows is recounted with later confessions and indictments, and a mix of light, humorous snippets closes the page.

Sunstroke Advice For Seasonable Heat Prevention
A medical writer urges practical sunstroke prevention during hot weather. Not only direct sun, but heat in shade and night can cause illness. Rest in ventilated rooms, avoid fermented drinks, bathe daily, limit cold water, wear light clothing, keep the head cool, apply ice to the head, rub the body with ice water, and avoid alcohol. Medicines may help.
