L.„ 1 WE inadvertently omitted last wee^ to"call attention to the new advertise4 ment. of the McHenry County Fair.Jt* should be borne in mind that the Fair commences Sept. 2d, one week from next Tuesday, and every farmer should ask himself the question, "what have 1 done to help make it a success?" If you cannot answer this question satis* factorily, go about it at once, and see what you can Oo to help the officers in their efforts to make it worthy of the name it bears, «f the best Fair in the State.

THE memorial services at the Uni- versaiist Church pn Sunday afternoon last, being the Fiftieth year of Elder Joel Wheeler's ordination to tbe Christian Ministry, and the Forty- seventh of his arrival at this place, and the holdi i;g of the first public service in McHenry county, was attended byf!* tlie uftial assemblage of our citlzensj His text was Mat. 9.3'J. "When lie saw^ the multitudes He was moved with compassion 011 them, for they fainted and were scattered, as sheep having no shepherd." An unspeakable mass of incidents, of equal importance to all. for the space of filtv years, all being engrossed in a compass of time for an ordinary discourse, subjected him to very limited reminiscences, and to the slightest sketches imaginable. His dis­ course throughout was listened to with the closest attention by all. and to many brought back vividly ttie days of trials, hardships and deprivations of pioneer life. Elder Wheeler is now well advanced in yt-ars, and has practi­ cally retired from the ministry, yet he is always ready to promptly attend calls made upon him, whether it be at the sick bed, to attend the last sad rights over departed deni ones, or the mon- cheerful* gatherings of old and young settlers. No man iu McHenry county is more honored and respected than Elder Joel Wheeler, In hi6 behalf we would return thanks to the society for the use of their church, to the citi­ zens for their attendance and attention^ and to the choir for their excellent! din'ottttnal music bu ftte occasion.

Johnston and Richball Matched for $5,000 a side.--To go at the Chicago Driving Park, Saturday. Aug. 23- The most exciting and important match race of this season will be a race at Chicago on Saturday next, between Com. N. W. Kittson's b. g. "Johnston.'" who has paced the fastest mile on record, 2:10. and Jno. S. Campbell's br. g. ••Richball," who is the winner of nearly all the great pacing contests of 1S83 and 1884, and has met and van- qufslied all the fast pacing celebrities, hotli East and West (Johnston only excepted), secured a record for him­ self of 2:12}. It is a bona Jied match race for 35.000 a side, all, including the money added by the Association, to go to the winner, and the victor will be more than likely to retire from the contest not only the "King of the Pacers," but with the fastest three heats 011 record placed to his credit. Both horses have warm confident friends and backers, those of ••John- ton" reiving on hl<» great speed to keep him to the front, those of '•Richball" claiming equal speed and superior en­ durance in a hotly contested race. It will be a hot contest, and the best horse will win. It may interest read­ ers to know that Johnston was sold to Com. N. W. Kittson, of St. Paul, Minn., In October, 1883, for $20,000; and that Richball was bought by liis present owners, Jno. S. Capbell & Co., in July, 1883, for $15.000--the highest prices ever paid for any two pacing horses.A Fitzeimmons & Evanson, of the West End, announce a great Remnant Sale, commencing Monday; Sept. 1st.

About seventy-five teach­ ers were in attendance at the closing of last weeks session, and seemed to have a great deal of interest in the work being done. A lecture was given on-Thursday evening by G. E. Knepper on Education. M.

ROBERT WHITE, An Eitraoriliary Ok : •To All Wanting Employment We want Live, Energetic and Capa­ ble Agents in every county in the United States and Canada, to sell a patent article of great merit, on its merits. A11 article having a large sale, paying over 100 per cent, profit, haying no competition,and on which the agent is protected in the exclusive sale by a deed given for each and every county he may secure from us. With all these advantages to our agents, and the fact that it is an article that can be sold to every houseowner, it might not be necessary to make an "Extraordinary Offer" to secure good agents at once, but we have concluded to make it to show, not only our confidence in the merits of our invention, but in its sta­ bility by an agent that will handle it with energy. Our agents now at work are making from $150 to $6b0 a month clear, and this fact makes it safe for us to make our offer to all who are out of emploj-ment. Any agent that will give our business a thirty days' trial^nd fail to clear at least $100 in this iime,a6ove all expenses, can return all goods unsold to us anil we will refund the money paid for them. Any agent or general agent who would like ten or more coun­ ties and work them through sub-agents for ninety days and fail to clear at least $750 above all expenses, can return all unsold and get their money back. No other employer of agents ever ciared to make s.ich offers, nor would we if we did not know that we have agents now making more than double the amount we guaranteed, and but two sales a day would give a profit of over $1*25 a month, and that one of our agents took eighteen orders in one day. Our large descriptive circulars explain our offer fully, anil these we wish to send to every one out of employment who wil! send us three one cent stamps for post­ age. Send at once and secure the agency in time for the boom, and go to work 011 the terms named in our extra­ ordinary ofler. We would like to have the address of all the agents, sewi "g machine solicitors and carpenters in tbe country, and ask.aity reader of this paper who reads this offer, to send us at once the name and address of all such they know. Address at once, or you will loose the best chance ever offered to those out of employment to make money. REKNEK MANUFACTURING CO., 166 Smttbileld St, Pittsburg, ra.

Story's. ALGONQUIN. EDITOR PI.AINDEAI.KK:--'There was a sad accident occured east 01 town on Monday of last week, which resulted in the death of Clias. Berkley. Dr. Nas'on was called as soon as possible, and also Dr. Zahu, of Elgin, but there could be nothing done for him.* He lay in an unconscious stare for twenty two hours when he ^expired. It seems that Mr. Berkley was topping out a grain stack, and in reaching lor a bundle he lost his balance and fell to the ground, a dis­ tance of twenty feet, striking on his head and shoulders. The deceased was 44 years of age. He leaves a wife and three sons and two daughters to mourn liis loss, as well as a very large circle' of warm frieiuls. Chariie was one of the best hearted men, always having a pleasant word for every one, and al­ ways ready to do anything in his power for them in time of need. The family have the sympathy of the entire com­ munity in this their sudden bereave­ ment. The funeral was held at the German Lutheran church 011 Thursday, Aug. 14Ui, at 10:30 a. iu„ and the re­ mains were Interred in the cemetery on the hill. The funeral was largely attended. , . • # The Lawn Festival, given by the Organ Society 011 Tuesday evening of last week, was a grand success both financially and socially, all present seeming to enjoy themselves, as i« usually the case at such tinijps, The society received $33.25.

Much credit 1? due Mr. and Mrs. Cliapell in giving the use of their lawn and the active part they took to make everything pleasant for all present. At. Wm.

More than the usual turnout on such occasions, was at the caucus last Satur­ day. The calj was made by the town committee at two o'clock p. si, The Circuit Clerk question seemed the only absorbing topic of the day. Captains and Lieutenants marshalled each, their forces, and commenced,balloting ; the Richards men seemed to have the best concert of action, and by the plurality ride captured,8 as far as we know Richard's men. The ..Morse men. it seemed were not under good organiza­ tion and apparently were voting all over the house. Many of theui could not see the trouble and had given up in despair. The RichaHls men looked jubilant and the Morse men down hearted, but when instructions came and the clerk announced forty-nine votes cast, Richards twenty four, and Morse twenty-five, the expression turned. Men looked one auother in the face and said: "What eight llich-, aid's men instructed for Morse!"- "I don't understand it," said the Dr., tut it was very easily done Doc.
