No one should fail to hear him. THE June Races, on the Marengo Driving Park, take place Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, the 26th, 27th and 28th. Some good Race^ are expected. We hear of quite a number from this section who comtemplate at­ tending.

WHILE in Elgin a few days since we met C. Fred Tryoa, who is selling the Air Gun Clothes Washer in that section. He informed us that he was doing re­ markably well, having sold twenty-four in the past two weeks, and iraly canvassed about three days in a week. A pretty good showing. UNDER the law a boy or girl cannot get a marriage license if under 21 years of age without their parents, or guardians, consent, but after they are 16 they may lawfully buy and smoke cigarette. Thus the legislators consider that boys and girls may lawfully buy misery before they can contract happiness.

The well was dug 40 feet, and he drove a pipe about 40 feet more, struck a big supply of water, put in a good force pump, and run a pipe from the well to the yard, about twenty^five feet, and done the entire job, pump and all, for $45. Who .can beat this? THE regular Summer Passenger train, from Chicago, which passes this station going North at 10:10 A. M., and South at 5:36 p. M., commenced running on Monday. Five trains a day each way now pass this station daily. The Sunday train also commenced on'Sunday last and passes this station at 7:36 p. M., going South. The new Time Table can be found at the head of our local column. THERE are many persons who do not stop to think that the space in the col­ umns of a newspaper or journal is a commodity, for sale the same as any other article of merchandise, and that the publisher, like the merchant, makes his living by selling at a profit, either to the subscriber to the paper in the shape of reading matter, or to the advertiser who buys so much space for his individ­ ual use. It would*be regarded as the very quaiatessence of what is commonly called "cheek" for a man to go into a store and ask the proprietor to give him a bag of flour or any other article with­ out pay, yet this same thing is done with I impunity to the publisher ofanewspaper. av «.»* » gcr° of Yet * erans was organized at Woodstock on Monday evening, with twenty charter members. Chas; P. Barnes was chosen Captain. This Camp have started out well, and have made no mistake in choos­ ing their first ofHcer. Mr. Barnes is an enthusiast in the cause, and has that push and energy that will make a success in anything he undertakes. f Fred Schnorr has left upon onr table ftwo of the finest bouquets that it has been our lot to receive for many a day They are not only tastily arranged, but are composed of' the choicest variety of flowers to be found anywhere. Mr. Schnorr has one of the handsomest flower gardens, we think, to be found in the county, which is the admiration of every passer-by. He will please accept our heartiest thanks for his kind remem- 4>ntnce. . C. ft. HANOHETTK, of Richmond, whom we noticed two weeks since as taking views of residences and business houses in this village, has been delivering the same the past few days, and in every in­ stance, so far as we have heard, they have given universal satisfaction. In fact they are the finest Views we have ever seen. Mr. Hanchette is one of the best workmen in this line in the State, and we take pleasure in recommending him to any wjho may wish work in his line. - CHAB. R. HUBER at the Home Bakery haB put in a nobby little machine for making "Milk Shakes," and now 1f you want one of those cool and delightful drinks call at, the bakery, where you can be served on short notice. Mr. Huber is a first class baker, keeps his store ar­ ranged in a tasty and inviting manner, and is certainly deserving of a liberal patronage by our citizens. If you want bakers' supplies of any kind, canned goods, ice cream, a milk shake, or even a glass of lemonade, call at the Home Baker A Lake Zurich correspondent says: We now have the assurance of a rail- oad, which will begin operations in about six months. Surveyors have staked down the line about a quarter of a mile east of this place. It is a belt line, commencing at Kankakee, going north from the coal regions. What the name of it is we could not learn at this writing. As it does not come direct from Chicago, the facilities for transportation will not be as good. Yet we can do considerable transporting on it." Whether this road will strike Wauconda and MeHenry we ipre not advised. STUART ROBSON will have only tiro plays next season--both by American dramatists. "An .Arrant Knave," by Steele Mackaye, Mid "The Henrietta," by Branson Howard.

Mr. Robson's com­ pany will consist of Messrs. Frank Mor- daunt, Jas. E. Wilson, George Wood­ ward, Edward J. Ratcliffe, John L. Wooderson, Victor Tarleton, Royel Ger- maine, and Misses May Waldron, Helen Mar, E. Linderman, Katherine Florence, Jennie R. Busby, Wilkins, and Kate Darnley. Mr. Wm. R. Hayden, Manager. •ft m v:,! $ T: IN the Baraboo, Wis., Trade Journal, we find the following complimentary notice of our old friend, A. G. Locke, formerly of the Home Bakery, in this village: A.G.Locke, is without question one of the most proficient bakers west of Chicago. He is, in fact, a veritable walk­ ing recipe encyclopedia, wittk an eye to business and fine baker s goods, in which he has no peers, and the articles that come smoking from his oven are truly domestic articles of cookery in the strict­ est sense of the term, as every recipe is original. He is New Hampshire born, going to Chicago in 1859, and remained till war time, when he entered the navy under Admiral Dahlgren. At the close of the war he returned to Chicago, where he catered to the tastes and tickled the palates of the city people till 1886. He came to Baraboo m 1888, and ojiened the bakery north of the Warren House on Oak street. He runs a daily delivery wagon and does business in regular city style. He has an increasing list of pat- trous, for the people have confidence in the purity of his goods and as to quality of manufacture, they speak for them­ selves. Lunches and suppers are pre­ pared for fashionable parties and public doings, and he furnishes ice cream by the dish or freezer full and when you buy Locke's ice cream, you get what you call for--not corn sta*& , JS=SS==!=^^ ' i\ GENTLEMEN, £ If you want the latest styles of clothes, your pick out of 200 samples, a merchant tailor of Chicago has appointed E.
