THE Old Settlers' Party at the River-, aide House on the 21st, was a grand suc­ cess in every particular. Ninety-six num­ bers were sold and all report one o%the beat times of the season. The music by Smith's Orchestra was first class and the supper was pronounced by all present as one of the best ever sat down to at a par- DON'T blame your newspaper man (or what happens in the community.

THE potato crop appears to be a failure the whole country over, Wisconsin, Min nesota and the two Dakotas excepted, and they will probably have a small sur­ plus. But Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Kan­ sas, Nebraska, and Missouri, are lamen­ tably short, and in the three first men­ tioned States there will be the greatest shortage ever known, if any dependence can be placed on the reports. The cause of failure is the intense heat and the great drought at the critical period of the crop. Late potatoes, where the vines are not killed, may do something yet, provided the balance of the season is favorable. But it is a settled fact that there will be a scarcity of potatoes this fall, and that the price will be high. GEO. W. OWEN'S celebrated Trotting Stallion, "George 0." surprised everyone >n Old Settlers' Day by coming right out tf the barn, after doing a big stud season bnd trotting a half mile in 1:15%, the 1 ist quarter being made in 36 seconds, a ! :24 gait. This on a half mile track and o a road cart weighing over 80 pounds, ton on the 7:36 p. M. train from this sta- I/The rain the night before made the track ^from 6 to 10 acknowledged ty in that house. Landlord Brewer is making himself justly popular with theU;Verything considered. Under thecircum seconds slow. This was by reliable horsemen present. We think "George O." capable of lowering his record below 2:20 if put in reasonable shape, but it is probable his o*rner will not consent to having it Vtried, as he has all the business booked that he can attend to and do the horse ustice. We do not think there is another stallion in Illinois, that can trot our track in the time he did on the 21st, dancing public, leaving nothing undone to please all. IT is the experience of most newspaper publishers that too many people are apt to think that it matters but little whether their newspaper bill is paid or not--is but a small sum, and therefore of but little consequence. And this is not because subscribers are unwilling to pay, rather because they are neglectful. • Each one imagines that his year's indebtedness amounts to so small a sum that the pub­ lishers cannot be much in need of it with­ out thinking for a moment that the income of a newspaper is made op of just such small amounts.

Owing to sickness which prevented as from taking part or being present at the exercises of the Old Settlers' Meeting last week, we are unable to give an extended report of the proceedings, but we can say it was a pleasant and profitable meeting, n nd one highly enjoyed by all present. In the morning the weather looked threatening, which no doubt kept many from a distance away, but notwithstand­ ing, our streets about noon were crowded with old and young settlers, and by one o'clock it was estimated that fully two thousand five hundred people were on the grounds. • At the stand short speeches were made by Joel H. Johnson, A. W. Young, Hon. Richard Bishop, Hon. Geo. Gage, H. W. McLean and others, and were listened to with marked attention by all. The Amusement Committee carried out their part of the programme in full, and in every instance the prizes were won after a close and exciting contest. The ladies who assisted the committee by furnishing meals for the speakers, the bands and a large number of old Settlers, are deserving of the greatest praise for the manner in which they carried out their part of the programme. They had provisions in abundance and of the best quality, and the dinner which they pro­ vided was fit for a king. They have the hearty thanks of the Committee and the Association for their noble work. The Old Settlers' Meeting of 1890 will long be remembered with pleasure by all who attended. It was also voted that the next annual meeting be held in McHenry. The Races. The Races at the Driving Park on Thursday last drew out a good crowd, and although not of the 2:18 class, nev­ ertheless were close and exciting, and therefore the more interesting. Every race filled, there being five starters in the 8:20 class, four in the three-minute class and three in the 2:50 class. . In the latter we have heard considerable dissatisfac­ tion expressed with the action of drivers and the decision of judges, and if the facts are as we have heard them expressed, it was a shame and disgrtw»>, and those en­ gaged should for ever after be barred from participating in like sports.

Thence it will proceed to San Francisco and the other cities of the Pacific coast. The popular­ ity of the great extravaganza is phenom­ enal in the history of Chicago theatrical entertainments. For twenty-seven weeks it has held the attention of the public, and the audiences have been larger than ever known in Chicago theaters. A num­ ber of new people will join the organiza­ tion on Sunday evening. Among these will be the celebrated "flying dancers," who were brought from Copenhagen for the Madison Square Garden. They have never been seen in this country outside of New York, and it is expected they will prove as successful in Chicago as they have in New York and in Europe. Mile. Paris, the celebrated dancer, will also be seen. The scenic artists, have been busy on a couple of new scenes, which will be seen for the first time. Richard Barker is busy making changes in the piece, and also rehearsing the people selected for the great revival of "Bluebeard Jr." That piece will occupy the stage of the Chicago Opera House immediately after the withdrawal of the "Crystal Slipper" on the night of September 6th. Elgin Academy. The Academy will begin its thirty-fifth year Sept. 1,1890, with a full corps of teachers. A specialty will be made of preparing students for college or fitting for the profession of teaching. The in­ stitution also has a well equipped manual training department, modeled after the Chicago manual training school, and open to both sexes, where pupils can spend two hours per day under an in structor especially prepared for that work, and at a cost not more than half as great as that usually paid. For fur­ ther particulars address the principal, A. M. Mattoon, Academy, Elgin, 111. Auditor's Meeting A meeting of the Board of Town Auditors forthe town of McHenry, will be held at the City Hall, in the village of McHenry, on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 1890, for the purpose of auditing all claims against said town.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER Strangers #ho visit Algonquin this year all remark on the neat appearance of the telephone lines which run through the village.

Itosseau, have taken pains to have everything done in the best of shape, aud Frank Mc­ Donald, with his gang of line men have executed the work in the beat manner.

The thanks of all citizens of the village, who take a pride in its appear­ ance, is given to the officers named above, and to the company for its gener­ ous treatment of us. Harvey Hubbard has been very serious­ ly sick for the past few days.
