From the Elgin Daily News* For the last few weeks there has been little fluctuation in the butter market. Monday the prices were a little lower, on the average, than they were the week previous, though the range showed no change. Less was sold Monday than last' week, and cheese, likewise, was somewhat- dull. Prlees were somewhat dull, being from 7} to 8$ cents, against 7 @ 12 last week. The attendance on the board wai hot large, only average. The New York advices of Saturday last marked a good demand for butter, with extra Elgin selling at 31 @ 33, 33 being too doubtful to quote; fair to good, 28@30. Creamery cheese salable at 3 @ 8 cents, according to the show of meat. It had to be very excellent to bring 6. Liverpool prices by cable, was 62s per cwt, (112 lbs.) A year ago on the Elgin board cheese sold for 7| @ 8 and butter at 21 @ 22, the latter figure ruling. Tht total sales then were 828.992.66. u The Standard Planter : '0aoo%^jt $£? «* * GREEKWOOD- EDITOR PLAINPEALER:--Some of onr farmers were beginniug to get a little uneasy about their corn planting.--the cold wet weather for the past few days put and embargo on planting, hut the change ou Monday, lifted the cold cloud, and their hopes brightened once more. The funeral of Uncle-Joseph Stewart, father of W. D. Stewart,and Uncle of Capt. Wm. H. Stewart, took place on Fridaylast, at the church on the hill.-- The services were conducted by Rev. McLain.of Woodstock, assisted byRev. Odell, of Springfield. N. Y. The re­ mains were placed beside the wife, in the Stewart Cemetery, In Hebron.-- "Uncle Joe," as he was fam ill tarty known, Wat esteemed and respected by all who knew him. He had lived to a good old age, being at the time of his death 87 years old, and at the time of the last inumeration of the census, was the oldest man in the town. % Prof. S. D. Baldwin was in town on Saturday last, making a few firing calls on parents and friends. Through the solicitations of his many friends throughout the county,he has consent­ ed to allow his name to come before the people as a candidate for the office of Comity School Superintendent. His past record is a sufficient gurautee for liis fitness for the position, and his fjfcorable and extensive acquaintance throughout the county can but insure his success. Mrs. E. Proctor, of Washington, D. C.. a sister-in-law to Uncle Geo. Van Hoozen, is visiting with friends and relatives here. She came to meet her daughteiand husband, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler,^»f Blue Rapids, Kansas. Quite a little excitement in town on Monday morning, occasioned by the narrow escape from burning of the store occupied by D. W. So per. The circumstances surrounding the aflalr are nothing unusual, but a repetition .»f what often occurs.--that thoughtless habit of throwing down a cigar stub without first extinguishing the fire,-- this time thrown into a box#of saw­ dust used as a spittoon. No damage was done however, farther than the burning of a hole through the floor.--; A good lesson without much expense. Some psrhaps might think to add force to the lesson by comment--but this is unnecessary, as the risk Is sufficient of itself. The concert billed for Friday even­ ing to be given by the Scott Family, proved a source of entertainment for two persons at least. One claiming not to fee] well enough to attend called upon his neighbor who had' retired to bed, persuaded him to get up, put on hip best "togs" and go and see the crowd at leafrt. Accordingly upou ar­ riving at the church (which was well lighted) He found, no concert, no crowd. He murmured "sold too cheap," while his sick^neighbor was at home enjoying the other part of the entet^ taininent. C. S.

The township assessors of McHenry county were in session at the county clerk's office, early last week. Some good work is being done by the grading of a portion of Tryon street, in this city. Miss Laura liartin, a school teacher of prominence in Chicago, is visiting her parents in this city. It Is now time to expect the Assessor to ask you to give him an inventory of your worldly possessions. Charles Hine is onr new street com­ missioner. He was appointed by the mayor. Mr. Hine was formerly a night watchman here. Johnny Zimpleman looks happy, and why not? It is a nice little girl, and Johnny was always partial In this r*? spect. The city fathers are doing a good Job in building the new platform around the public square for the horses to 6tand upon. J. H. Durfee of thla city has taken charge of the Express office at Ottawa, 11).. during the sickness of the home agent of that city. Your short biographical sketch in the PLAINI>EALER. last week, • reminded those who were readers of the Sentinel when it was under your editorial charge of the "splinters" which appeared in the paper at that time. John Toitg has changed his quarters. He may now be found en Jackson St.. in the rear of John Donnelley's grocery store. Bring on your wagons or other vehicles, and Mr. Tong will make them as good as new. Mr. O. Freeman, a brother of Mrs. Dr. A. E. Baldwin, has been spending a few days at the doctor, lately. Mr Freeman is late of Tulon, 111., where he has been engaged in the grocery busi­ ness. Shall we decorate on May 90th? There are several that wore the blue that lie buried in our beautiful ceme- tary. It is certainly high tltne the pre­ liminary steps were taken, if the day mentioned shall be properly observed by our citizens this year. Mrs. Badger, wife of .Prof. Badger of Geneva Lake, Wis., was visiting friends lie re quite recently. Prof. Badger was the first Priucipal that taught public school after thu present handsome school house took the place of the old one. He uow edits a newspaper at Geneva. The leading paper (the Sentinel) In their last issue copies correspondences to the Democratic Elgin frank and hired notices to the Elgin Advocate. fropn diflervut portions of this county, to give their candidate for Congress a send oil. Why don't they use extracts and copy frouuUie lour Re publican pa­ pers of tlioir own county ? The leading paper (the Sentinel). through tlieir corps of hanger-on edit­ ors, made a villainous attack upon M. M. Clothier of Hebron, not long since. They do say that Mr. Clothier Is able to hold his own in all respects, and we for one do uot disbelieve it after read­ ing how he showed up those fellows In last week't PLAINDEALER. TheSoiithwortliglennon combination concern commenced mud slinging some time &go, in. order to bolster up their cause and candidate for Congress. Gen­ tleman, keep right at It; it is just what the opposition desire.

A sad Udell has moved his livery stock to his new stable in Harvard. Mr. Udell has lived in Woodstock but a short time, yet he had made hosts of warm friends,"'and our citizens wure sorry to part with him. But as he knows his own business best, it is to be supposed he had good reasons for the change, and the good people of Harvard will find that A*ad will keep a No. 1 livery stable and that he is just the kind of a man that any live town would like to have for a citizen^ The license question has been prac­ tically settled in Woodstock for the next year. The new Board have In­ creased the saloon license from $200 to 9500, much to the displeasure ot the sa­ loon keepers, and it is said they made an agreement among themselves that none should apply for license until tlie Board had reconsidered their action and reduced the amount to the old fig­ ures. However Quin & Murry Immedi­ ately made application and were granted a license, and at this writing four otbtrs have or will pay $500 into the ci'.y treasury f^or the privilege of retailing the ardent, which up to date creates a revenue of 82,500, with just double the number pf saloons. There will probably be two. or three more *p- ply for license soon. Copies of the PLANDEALER were in good demand in this neck of woods last CONTRIBUTED BV ST R, BENNETT.

The Marengo Republican seems to think that some ot the papers in the District are going Into the Congres­ sional flght 'rather early, but editors, above all ether men must have a chance to blow ofi their surplus steam.

Clothier to B. N. Smith, in last PIAINDKAI.KR has the ring of the true metal In it. If Mr. Smith, or any friend of Mr. Smith, thinks to advance the former's Interests by attacking the personal reputatiq& of M. M. Clothier, it Is a fatal mistake. Mr. Clothier stands too high In every community where he is k«ow«, to be injured by any man or men's bare statements unsupported bv the uiost positive and convincing prortfc. He to-day, has more warm friends in McHenry Co., than all of his enemies put together have. We are sorry to announce the death of Mr*. Kelborn. formerly known to her friends as ' Aunt Patty" Kelborn, which sad event -occurred last week, after a not very protracted illness, which could hardly be called an illness, but rather a general breaking down of the powers of life from old age, Mrs. Kilborn was a quiet good womin much respected by all who knew her. Her liusbaud preceded her to the spirit land only a few years. Thus one by one our aged mothers and fathers are passing away, after long lives of useful toil, to find a rest, a sweet rest, in the Hereafter. "Aunt Pattys" meitory will not pass out of onr minds at once, but will be cherished mauy a long day. The following extract froia the re­ port Of J. P. Fisk, Principal Richmond P-ibllc School, is/commended, hot only to the parents whose children attend school here, but U> parents everywhere. The teachers have been encouraged by marked improvement In the attend­ ance during the past year. There are however, some scholars who are de­ tained nt home for trivial reasons, or allowed to remain at home simply be­ cause they "do not feel like going to school." Such irregularity Is not only annoying to the teachers, hut exceed­ ing detrimental to the scholars. The teacher deplores such Irregularity not only on account of Its bad eflect upon the reports of the school nor simply be­ cause of Its had influence upon scholar­ ship, hut, most of all, because he sees the scholar forming habits of irregular­ ity which It will be difficult for him to rid himself of, and which will be a source ef annoyance to himself and his friends throughout his life. The attention of parents Is also cal­ led to the Scholarship reports which have been submitted each month. The records of recitations are kept day by day and the average ot all such recita­ tions presented the end of the month. This is done at the expenditure of time nnd labor that is not tuiall. and parents can do much to Incite pupils to do well by carefully examining there reports.
