This map was drawn in July, 1910, and it is interesting to noté that 6f the people living on Ber- lin sfeet at that time there are few who still reside .in own. A large number have been claimed by death and many have moved to other parts of the country. Below is a list of all people who resided on the west side of Berlin street in 1910, but who have either moved or are deceased. Beginning at the southérn end of the street the firet house was that of Mr. Kane, whe has moved out of town. Then came that of C. M. Jarvis, deceased; Mrs. B. K.

The Flannery propérty was known as the best hotel in Berlin and the post- office {8 now located in that building, which is owned by Tracey Hallock. _East Side of Street. That there have been just as many changes on the east side can be seen by the list beélow.

Attorney General Daugherty an- nounced that C. W. Middlekauft, now a special assistant to the attor. ney general at Chicago, has heen as- signed to help Attorney General Brundage of Illinois to take charge of grand jury proceedings in Wil. liameon county.

Judging from the scattered reports gathered in the town, the republican party personnel will remain as it s, Last term however, the entire party was given a severe jolt when the con- stabulary was twisted inside out and several new faces were seen on the force after election. A similar jolt was given the demo- crats. ‘What {s taking the interest of the republican voters of the town now, however, is the coming caucus Tues- day night. At this caucus, delegates will be elec for the congressional, senatorial, county and probate con- ventions in addition to nominating candidates for the state officers and senator.

Therefore, at the last meting of the registrars, there were a few who entered their names for the caucus and the républicans have a total of 143 names on the list and the democrats about 60. The democrats 8o far have not is- sued a call for any meetings.
