All are more or less interested and we hope to se an interest taken that will enable the Board to promptly do the necessary work. Remember the regular meetings of the Board arerthe third Mon­ day evenings of each month. THE following poem was written by Henry I). Muir, and contains such beauti­ ful sentiments that we cannot refrain from publishing it in full: When grief ttvit wears t!ie hrart a war. And clonks the worM <n nimiltf gray, Does seize upon thy soul. Yield not thyseif y- "ash despair: Bat rather strive thy cross to bear And sorrows to control. Altho' the hollow world m*y seem •a vain and empty as a dream At drowsy midnight sent. Let not ita coldness turn away The good that cheeks this little day, Or I eartor reason rent. Bat rather bring thy native will To bravely bear thy share of 111, To stand life's dreary test; And aeek with all thy strength an! might To cultivate the good and bright Within the troubled breast. Why make this world a living tomb. Or rob the flowers of their perfume And cloud the way with doubt? God knows there is too much of gloom. Too many hearts that give it room And shut the sunlight out. Tbo' grief at times assails ns all, And sorrows thick upon us fall. Still let ns trust and hope That when the clouds are cleared and gone We'll view the purer, brighter dawn Upon the further slope. * To McHenry County Teachers.

Times of March 28th publishes the following correspond­ ence from Carthage, N. Y., in reference to a three-horned cow, which Mr. H. M. Myers, of Morrison, 111., who is now visit ing in New York, has purchased: Carthage did not get the Cantral rail­ road in just, the manner in which it ex­ pected, but there is something in our midst that will make our village better known than though we toad ceeured that great corporation. There is iu C. H. Wing's barn a three-horned cow, and the third horn does not come from the head as in all well-regulated cows, but from the right shoulder blade^ 'The ordinary horn on the right side of the head is a little short, as though broken off. The extra horn which comes from her shoul­ der and hangs down like a great hook, is not a puny little thing scarcely discern­ ible, but is nearly two feet long, measur­ ing around the curve. It is fifteen inches from the shoulder to the bottom of the curve. The hook is six inches long and easily holds a heavy pail. At the base the horn is nearly three inches in diame­ ter, which shows it was intended for a* horn, and nothing else. This addition to her ornaments seems to give the cow no trouble whatever It is not fastened as solidly as the ordinary horns, but can be shoved around a little. The cow is of ordinary stock and was raised by a man namec. Rice, of Deer Rivr. She fs five > ears old and has had the extra horn since birth. It has been gradually grow- 'tiddledy winks" or "oir-<vt5> ***" *Ck*^-^^has reached the size stated above. but it requires stu^ cheapest. ..called - buy none but-the best*and 3©11 at Seasonable Prices.

CALI.AND claW8 vkanger, •-j! can ; MoBeary, Kovmbwistfc. )*. • ISP"" The Democratic New York Sun in a folding editorial last Friday, speaks as follows regarding Secretary of State Blaine's communication to the Italian government in reference to the murder of Italians at New Orleans and the depar­ ture of Minister Fava: The truth about Mr. Blaine's reply of April 1 to Baron Fara's announcement of his departure from Washington is that it exhibits the Secretary as master of the situation and of himself. A strong­ er, more temperate, better-natured, and in all respects more suitable document has not. gone forth from the State De­ partment for many a day. To a sudden and somewhat silly explosion of jingoism at Rome, the person who has for years been painted as the great American jingo, ready on the slighest pretext to set the eagle screaming, and waiting only an occasion to run amuck among the great powers of Europe, has replied with a quiet dignity and gracious tolerance which actually represent the attitude of the American people toward Italy at this time. In Mr Blaine'^ placid senten- tencee there appear few surface indica­ tions of the politely restrained amuse­ ment with which he regards the performanceof the Italian Premier. There is no howling of defiance. Nothing whatever that is not sane and salutory is hurled at the crumbling monarchy which gave Hon. James G. Blaine so good a chance to show his real character. "We extend our commiseration," The Champaign Gazette unfeelingly re­ marks, "to the Bland Old Man, Gen. John M. Palmer His own city, usually from 500 to 700 Democratic, has gone for the Republicans by 350. Palmer will not like this; but then the result did not depend this time on a gamr of Poker at the St. Nicholas Hotel. It is tough an Palmer." I®* "Uncle Billy" Jackson is a unique citizen of Indianapolis. He is well-known to Western railroad men. He is an ex­ cellent official, but his real claim to dis­ tinction lies in the fact that he once in­ sisted on having his salary of #3,000. which he received as treasurer of the old Union Railway Company, reduced to $ 1,000. The directors of the road gave a reluctant consent and his salary was reduced as he requested. DECENT Italians must be heartily ashamed of thoge among their country­ men, who. after howling for vengeance and calling on thnr home government to bring Uncle Sam to his kuees, make a mad rush to the United States courts for naturalization papers, in order to avoid being called upon to go home and do mil­ itary service for Italy. I&~ Judge Charles Kellum carried all the primaries in DeKalb county last week for his re-election as circuit judge. This will probably insure his nomination in the judicial convention. His endorse­ ment is a deserved tribute to this able and popular jurist. As DeKalb county will claim one of the judges, the other counties in his circuit will probably en­ dorse his selection. I®" An Iowa newspaper, the Ledger, pub­ lished at Fairfield, asks farmers this question : "If you can bay sugar and tin cheaper now than a year ago, end your live stock and grain are bringing better prices than for several years past, how much did the 'infamous McKinley bill"hurt you?" I®" The butter market on the Klflcin Board of Trade Monday, was steady, with the price the same as last week, 25c. Sales amounted to 18,000 lbs. for $4,500. There is good demand.

EIHTOU PLAIN DEALER:--Our town meet­ ing was a tame affair on Tuesday of last week, there beimf only one ticket in the field. At the school trustee election on Satur­ day last there were only 15 votes cast in the Algonquin precinct. They were all for James Nish of Cary. We have not heard from the Crystal Lake precinct yet. Miss Mabel Philp, of Nunda, was the guest of Miss Annie Philp here over Sun­ day. 'Gene Andrews has been quite sick with la grippe for the past few days. Well, we are getting some spring weath­ er at last which is high time as it will now make the farmers quite late in get­ ting their seeding done. There will be a school election held at the school house on Saturday evening of this week. The polls will be open at sev­ en o'clock and close at eight, for the pur­ pose of electing one director in place of C. E. Chapel!, whose time expires. There will be a caucus held at Morton's Hall on Friday, April 17th, at 7:30 p.m., to place in nomination the following candidates to be voted for at the annual corporation election April 21st: 1 president, 1 clerk, 1 police mag­ istrate, and (> trustees--3 f6r one year and 3 for two years. H. B. Throop, of Nnnda, sold a car­ load of milch cows here on Monday of this week for A. W. Vaughn. Mrs. A. Brink, of Nunda, sprat Sunday here. Abe Lade, of Wayne, spent Sunday with friends here. Miss Ida Morton has been Bick with la grippe for the past few days but is now on the gain. Miss Goodson is teaching in her place while she is sick.

Tea from 5 to 6, p. m. Mrs. Henry Henk, Jr., living eapt of town, is reported very sick. Tal e note of the "Danger Signal" but don't be alarmed, the only rftl danger to you is that your anxiety to see and hear it will keep you awake nights. We refer to a startling drama, soon to be put on the boards by our best home tal­ ent, and which will be well worth your time and money should you attend its presentation, the latter part of this month. A number of our enteprising young men will give a May party on Friday evenintr, May 1st, 1890. They have se­ cured theNationsi 1 Rink at Nunda for the purpose. Slocum's Harp Orchestra will furnish the music, and the Richmond House the supper. The "AH For Fun Pleasure Club," is what the hoys call themselves, and if they don't, prove worthy of the name, it won't be because they will spare any pains to fully enter­ tain all who may have the pleasure to attend. Dr. Nason reports the following cases of la grippe, as under treatment during the past week: Christ. Ocister, Jo. Houghtai'ing, Geo. Helm, Miss Ida Mor­ ton, Henry Albright, Geo. Low and wife, and Wm. Lade Christ Frank's boy has been very sick lately, but is now much better. The infant child of John Janoek has been very sick, as has also the young daughter of J. Voytech.

Mr. George Tennant, of this city, in conversation with a representative of the Mail and Times, one evening this week said: "Yes, I took-vjhis prevailing influ­ enza. I gave up work and went to bed I had a dreadful cough and was very sick but am all right now." We ventured to ask what remedy had proven successful in his case. "O, I took Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I used a whole bottle, it brought me out all right. I feel first rate now. We are never without Cham­ berlain's medicines in our family." This testimony is only one of many that might be given to show the value of these preparations. Those who are af­ flicted with this malady would do well to use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. If used as directed it will be found effectual. Fifty cent bottles for sale by G. W. Bes­ ley, druggist. CHICAGO MERCHANT TAILORS, First class in every respect, have sent E.

Travelers on businese^or bent on pleas ure, invariably visit one of the great cities of the West, if their journey is at all prolonged. Nowhere else can be seen such centres of enterprise and American vim as in Chicago or Kansas City, and few invite lovers of elegance and beauty like St. Louis. In going further into the "Great West" there are various routes the tourist may select, but supposing the start is made from Chicago the great starting point of western travel, no Hue can be found more desirable than the Chicago & Alton, the great "Three Link" route, and its unsurpassed connections. Elegant cars, courteous train men, a first class track, and every convenience that modern railroading employs is here found for safety and comfort. The coun­ try traversed is unexcelled for beauty of scenery--the vertible garden of the conti­ nent. Be sure and secure tickets of the Chicago & Alton if you would have a pleasant journey. PERRY ft.
