T. Huson, of Volo, died at Elgin, Sat­ urday, Feb. 28th, after an illness of only ta few days, in the 17th year of his age. I His remains were takei^to Volo and laid \ to rest by the side of his father. The \ funeral was attended by a large concourse v of sympathizing friends. THE St. Paul and Northwestern roads have issued a circular revoking the new order in relation to the half fare permits for clergymen and the clergymen's per mits will be, as heretofore, good between any points on the lines of the companies. The rules repealed restricted the half rate privilege for clergymen to the state in which they reteide. MRS. HETTY GREBX, who lives between Elgin and Chicago, although close and penurious in many respects, is said to be the richest woman in the United States and that fall $40,000,000 is the estimated sum of her wealth. She is a liberal giver to religious and educational projects, more than a hundred churches having been endowed by her while up­ ward of fifty schools owe their establish­ ment to her generosity. THE number 13 is regarded by many .as an unlucky number. Often have we . heard of 13 Bitting down at a table to- i get her, and it always happens that af­ terwards one of the 13 dies. Here is an­ other evidence that 13 is an unlucky number. Mr. Amos Matthews, of Catons- ville, Baltimore county, Md., baa just died at the age of 113. There is no tel'„ ing how long Mr. Matthews might have lived had it not been for the unlucky number 13. EASTER will this year come at the earli­ est date it Iras 1883. With the exception of 1864 this will be the only coming March Easter in the present century, and n 1895 Easter comes on March 25th, within three days of its earliest possible coming. The22dof March, 1818, was Easter day and that was the only time it has Mien at that, its earliest date in this century. lbs latest date, April 25th, was reached only once in this century, in 1886, and will not occur again therein.

A bottle partly filled with whisky, was lying near the body, together .with his mittens. His p<>cketbook was open and some eight dollars in money lying on the ground. The Coroner was called, and at the inquest it was shown that ltourke left home about 11 o'clock on Friday last. He was seen in McHenry where he purchased a pint bottle of whisky. He went part way hdme in the afternoon and stopped at one of the neighbors until about 4:30. Was then seen going back to McHenry. Was seen there at 7 o'clock somewhat intoxicated and was accompanied half way home by a friend. He could walk all right but was considerably under the influence of liquor at half past eight. At nine o'clock was seen within one hundred rods of where he was found. The jury found a verdict that ltourke came to his death by intoxication and exposure. He was about 50 years of age and leaves a wife, but no children. , Report of West McSenry School Report, of West Mc Henry school for the lhonth ending February 27 ; Number enrolled.... ...55 Average daily attendance.....^*..;.........4* Per cent of attendance .................91 The following is the average scholar­ ship for the month of the pupils named: Willie Gilles 89 Minnie Feltz 86 Willie Krauze 9 > Nettie Schiessle...92 Henry Nickles 86 Raehael Kranee..93 Charlie Feltz 79 Altie Kimball 87 Frank Cobb 91 Ida Krause 90 Willie Pomer'ng..88 Donna Lincoln....91 H'y Pomereniug. 90 Emma Feltz 92 Harold Cristy 88 Pearl Xellis 89 Willie Osborne....85 Lenora Stevens...92 Eddie Cobb 93 Newton McLain..H6 H<mry Kamholtz.89 5-izzie Feltz 92 Henry Block „90 EddieThur!well...86 Wi11ieThnrlwell...91 Charlie Potner'ng87 Willie Itettmar....92 Worthen Kimb'11.92 Willie Comisky....86 Orten Gilbert. 91 A mos Wolff 87 Clarence Parker.. .87 George Slimpin ...90 The following were not absent during the month: Harold Cristy, Henry Kamholtz, Willie Dettmar, Amos Wolff, Lynn Cristy, Theodore Buss, Herman Kamholtz. J. H. BURGER, Teacher. RINGWOOD, March 9,1891 EDITOR PLAINDEALER :--I placed the following problem on the black board and said: "The one who first solves it, shall have twenty-five cents. Miss Ruth Bar­ nard came first with a correct solution; but Clayton Harrison and Vred French obtained the answer only a few minutes later. I send it to you hoping that other teachers may use it in the same way to test their best mathematicians. The problem is as follows: "I looked at my watch and the hour-hand wan between 1 and 2, and the niiuute-liand between 2 and 3. When I next looked, the hands had exactly changed places What was the time when I first looked?" * WM. NICKLE.

A few days ago while sitting in Elder Brothers' drug store at Tiogley, Iowa. Mr. T. L. Dyer, a well-known citizen came in and a>>ked for something for ft severe cold which he had. Mr. Elder took flown a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and said : "Here is something 1 can recommend. It commands a larg« sale and gives genuine .satisfaction. It it- an excellent preparation and cheap.' Mr. Dyer purchased a bottle, and the next day when we saw him he said hewa* much better, and the day following ap­ peared to be entirely restored.

Somefail because of poor health, others want of luck, but the majority from deficient grit--want of nerve. They are nervous, irresolute, changeable, easily get thebluesand "take the spirits down to keep the spirits up," thus wasting money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great si>ecialiHt, Dr. Miles, to cure all nervous diseases as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, neu­ ralgia, St Vitus dance, fits and hysteria.

If the blood does not circulate properly in the lungs there is shortness of breath, asthma, etc.; in the brain, dizziness, headache, etc.; in the stomach, wind, pain, indigestion, faint spells, etc.; in the liver, torpidity, congestion, etc. Pain in the left side, shoulder and stomach is caused by heart strain.

The local i terns are usually read first by the aver age son, and there is a feeling of dis- appointn-.eat if thsrsis nothing front his own town. Many changes have taken place here within a few weeks. Several families have moved to Chicago, some farms have changed owners and others have changed tenants. On the whole, we hardly know where to look for our neighbors. The ice business makes things lively round the depot, Many huudred car­ loads have passed here in the last t wo weeks and more are ordered. A large number of men find work at good wages in cutting and loading the ice at Rich­ mond, Genoa and Williams Bay. The money paid ont at a time of year when there is little else to do, must be a great benefit to those employed. If all the timo-honored weather signs amount to anything we shall have an early spring. No bear could have seen bis shadow on Cbandlemas day, and March came in like a lion,--a good-na­ tured lion, to be sure, but he could not be mistaken for a lamb. Our winter has been as nearly perfect as winter can be, with sleighing left out. The Senatorial contest at Springfield drags it* slow length along, a "sight for gods and man." Our learned brethren seem to know "how not to do it," and there their knowledge euds. We would respectfully suggest ibat the names of Streeter. John M. Palmer & Co., be dropped, and a unanimous vote be given for Mrs. Potter Palmer for Senator. She does not belong to any of the political parties, big or little, and would worthily represent the great State of Illinois. We would like to respectfully to inquire what has become of our street lamps. They certainly do not light our path way any more at night. Were they in­ tended to be strictly ornamentel? Some of our ladies seem to be very sue cessful in the care of their house plants. Miss Anna Waterman has a very choice collection, the finest we have seen this winter They must be a pleasure to her, a« they certainly are to all others who set them. We send yon some lines that were written on revisiting the old homestead after a lontr absence. That visit recalled many scenes in the writer's early life, and, also, gave a more vivid realization of the ravages Time had wrought. AFTER MANY YEARS. Once more i stand beneath the roof that st eltered me Thro* childhood'* go Men jears, when life was but A promlee an<l a ioy. These crumbling walls Once echoed with my shouts of childish glee. AMI thro' these silent romis my light feet ran In frolic wild, with eyea alight and heart As (ray and free from carr as anv bird's That swung and warbled 'mid the orchard tr'es. Those summer days were but aa bliaafui dreams That quickly pass, bat letve the heart more glad. While autumn'* varied hues and winter's snows But lent new beauties to the distant hills.

Old lady Duensing, mother of Fred Duensiug, has been very sick lately, but is now better. Mr. Patchie's youngest son injured his nhoulder last week by falling down a (light of steps. There has been much sickness in the village during the past two weeks. It 1 as been largely due to the very change­ able weather and the influence of the "Grippe." Dr. Nason was called to Elgin on pro­ fessional business last week. Henry Hubbard was threatened with one of his "bad spells" on Sunday, but the prompt action of proper medicines averted the attack. The infant daughter of Mr. L. Wenholz has been very sick with an eruptive fever for a week, but is now better. The moth­ er, Mrs. Wenholz, had an attack of 'Grippe,' at the same time.
