Grundy County, IL Phoenix Advertiser "Minooka News" June 4,1903 Vol. 28, No. 23 Markets - Corn 41; oats 31; eggs 13; butter 18. Benj. Murley has been quite sick for a week at his home two miles north of town. A. K. Knapp's condition is little improved over that of a week ago, but his recovery is painfully slow. William Woods returned home a few days ago from a visit at Victoria, Ill., with his cousin, Dr. Bedford. John Brinckerhoff, father of the doctor, of Lockport, is visiting here this week and assisting his son in the strenuous task of household moving. All kinds of crops in this section are now looking fine, the improvement in the past ten days being almost unprecedented and incredible. The Rock Island trains from the west have all been behind schedule time for nearly a week and the Kansas City business has been completely paralyzed. Several from here went to Joliet Wednesday to see President Roosevelt whose reception there undoubtedly surpassed anything that Joliet had ever accorded to any man before. John Kaffer was billed for the west last Tuesday night but the flood conditions in Iowa and Kansas caused him to postpone the trip until things look more favorable for a safe journey. ------------------------------------------------------------- UGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
