Yager, in jlhis village, were shocked on Satur­ day morning last to read a notice in the Chicago papers, that be had died at his home, in South Evanston, the day before^ As none of his friends here had been ap­ prised that he was even sick it did not seem possible that it was true. After some delay telegrams were sent which brought back the intelligence that h€ was alive and well, and that the story had been made out of white cloth. The \ Cristy & ton, Ringwood, and John Evan-» Par^ or parties who would attempt to son & Co., WestMcHenry to be found iniperpetrate such a joke deserve turning another place in this paper. iPver to tfa® fool-killer without even a Do not fail to hear "Dot, the Miner's * ^commendation to mercy.

When you want any article of merchandise buy it of a reputable home dealer, that the profit may remain- to enrich the community. All these peo­ ple help educate your children, share your tax burdens and help make your city the desirable place it is. Send your money abroad only for what you cannot purchase at home. Home talent, home labor, home industry, home capital and home pleasures are things to be fostered, encouraged, patronized. Show yonr patriotism in every-day life as well as in the annual Fourth of July celebration. This is an excellent time to 'swear off' on foreign patronage. "AN Ocular Delusion" is the title of a bright social study is serial shape, which will begin in the JVeir York Letlger of March 1. The story holds the mirror up to club life in the metropolis, and touches lightly but w ith the masterly and sugges­ tive stroke of the etching hand, somt of the more distinctive sides of New York society life. Sevei-aTot the characters are so startlinglv typical that they may be taken tor any one of scores of the mem­ bers of the "Four Hundred." The hero is ya. fine combination of manliness, ready ingenuity and audacity, a youth with a rare amount of phosphorus in hiscelebral gray matter and an equally generous amount of red corpuscles in his veins--a character which the author has elaborat­ ed with sympathetic interest, and which, according to the impression given by the advance sheets, represent® an oarsman of a recent crew of a landing American col lege. The author, by the way, is that brilliant young newspaper worker, Frank Howard Howe, son of the late postmas­ ter-general, Timothy F.Howa,of Winoon- sin.

Duff is the tnaV r of Mr. Dixey.' * • l8/ rl THERE is more truth than poetry in the following: "Other things being equal, the newspaper that does not per­ mit itself to be made into a poster by its advertisers is the best medium. Where every advertiser uses the biggest display he can get, not only is the appearance of the paper hurt from the standpoint of the editorial department, but the actual value of the paper as a medium is depre­ ciated. There are many publications in which inappropriate job type is used in the advertising columns, without even a demand for it on the part of the adver­ tiser. There are enough advertisers who insist upon big display, without the pub­ lisher encouraging a similar tendency in those who are satisfied with a more mod­ est setting." • \ Sunday School Concert The M.

Joseph Wood, Thomas H. Payne of Freeinont Center, and Joel H.Johnson of Wood­ stock, 111., came together to Illinois in 1836 and all located in Fremont, in Jan­ uary, 1837. Those three were the first white men that stepped foot on Fort Hill inound, and to Thomas H. Payne belongs THE brilliant spectacular extravagan­ za, "Bluebeard Jr.," will return to the scene of its former triumph, and will be presented at the Chicago Opera House on the evening of the 23d, continuing thereafter for a brief engagement. Since it was originally produced at the Chicago Opera House, many new and attractive features have been added to the bur­ lesque. Several new dances have been in­ troduced and the music has been im­ proved by the introduction of several new and popular songs. The characters of the comedians have been developed and strengthened, so *that now "Blue­ beard Jr." is as strong as a burlesque as it always has been as a spectacle. There are five great comedy parts in the piece. "Bluebeard Jr." has made a decided suc­ cess in each of the Eastern cities where it has been produced. At Niblo's theater, New York, it was pronounced the finest spectacle ever seen at that theater. This U high praise because Niblo's has been the scene of all the great spectacular triumphs this ^country has produced. The magnificent scenery and costumes of this extravaganza wiU be remembered by them during the fourteen weeks' run at the Chicago Opera House last summer. One of the most sensational dances in­ troduced into "Bluebeard Jr.," is the "Loon Doon" danoe. This is the nation­ al dance of Venezuela, and it is said to be full of spirit and abandon. There are three great ballets in "Bluebeard Jr.," beside the several spectacular features in which 30 children figure. Apart from the splendor of the spectacular features, the company is said to be one of the best •4ver seen in burlesque, it being particu­ larly strong in comedians and in pretty and talented actresses.

TriK record of death, published in one of the religions papers, says of the de­ parted brother: "For two years preced­ ing bis death he was a constant reader of the . He was a great sufferer, but grace sustained him." The Congrega- tionalist exclaims: "How sad that he did not take to the reading pi some other newspaper in time!" leading local papers of his county, the remark: "I have no time to read." No time to read! In this age of progress this is a melancholy confession of inabili­ ty to keep abreast of the times. Too of­ ten it is the advertisement of a long series of misfortunes. The farmer who entertains the slick-tongued swindler and finds his name attached to an ironclad promise to pay, a Ijttle later on, is the man who has "no time to read" and post himself on the important fact that vil- liany is keeping pace with virtue in this bustling world of ours. In one fell swoop that farmer loses more than he would by the waist of time, if wast it were, in reading away two-thirds of the after-noon of a harvest day. The farmer who buys machinery that is out of date and eclipsed by better cheaper aids to agriculture, is the man who has no time to read. The farmer who buys shoddy clothes from peddlers, and colored salt to keep kerosene from exploding, and paints that will stop a prairie fire if applied to a board fence, is the man who don't read, and has 110 lime to familiarize himself with the ups and downs of life. It is econ­ omy to find time to read.
