A Maryland era column lists voters in Javis township as urged candidates names and dates for Election Tuesday April 5 1898. Includes comments on railroads electric lights taxes moon phase Gladstone birthday and local business organizing calls amid general chatter.
A garbled 1890s screening piece discusses remedies for dyspepsia, social tips, and a look back at notable events of 1897. It highlights an interurban electric railroad proposal linking East St. Louis, Collinsville, Venice, Madison, Granite City, Edwardsville, and Alton, with capitalists showing interest but lacking organization to advance the plan.
The piece argues that past editors attacked plagiarism when using others’ articles, noting a shift as stagecoaches and spinning wheels fade. It claims modern journalists believe newsy, uncopyrighted material becomes public property and may be freely used, citing The Call’s stance on unlimited use of worthy content.
