THE discovery has been- wnideaftally made that flour thrown on burning oil will extinguish it instantly. An old lady was coming out of a pantry with a pan of flour when a lamp exploded aud the oil was at once in flames. Ih her fright she dropped the pan of flour which, fall­ ing on the burning oil, extinguished it. Some one who heard of the incident had an opportunity of testing it practically soon after, and the device worked exactly as stated; It is well worth making a note of, as water is worse than useless in such a case. BATH OF CHABUSS BLAOKKAV. DIED, In Chicago, 111., on Friday, April 34, 1891, of inflammation of the bowels, Charles E. Blackman, aged 17 yeans, 6 .months and 22 days. X^hen the above announcement was made last Friday morning, a feeling of sadness overspread our village, and, as the news passed from one to another, ex­ pressions of deep regret wereV hoard on every "hand, tor Charles was one of those rare young men who hold the respect and esteem of all clisses of society, from the least to the greatest. He was born in Woodstock, HI., Oct. 2, 1873, but tor several years his home has been in Mc­ Henry. Left fatherless at an early age, he developed a business capacity and self- supporting independence that were simply wonderful in one so young, and com­ mendable in the highest degree. He at one time occupied the position of deputy postmaster under C. V. Stevens, at the West McHenry post office. About a month ago he left McHenry, going to Chicago, where he secured a position with the Merchants Loan and Trust Co., and few, if any, of his friends in McHenry knew of his sickness, nutil his death was announced. Death is at all times sad, in that it<ruptures the fond heart's best ai" 'fections. dispels the glad anticipation of the fulfillment of plans and ambitious, and tears asunder the golden ties of sym­ pathy and love that make the home a haven of rest and joy; and in this ca*e is all this doubly t»ue, for he possessed many 'tualities of mind and heart, which, had he lived, could not but have placed him high in the esteem of and rendered bis life full of usefulness to his less fortun­ ate fellows. But death regards not these. So, all unexpectedly, even to his immedi­ ate relatives and friends, came the sum­ mons to a higher life, and the home aud friends he knew and loved, now mourn for him who has passed from their sight forever. Forever, did I say? 'Tis not forever; for see! from out the dark cloud of sorrow and despair which came over their lives' happiness at the going out of his life, there burets a radiant light. 'Tis the glorious light of the Christian's Star of Faith and Hope that illumes the dark­ ling sky, and to the weary heart portrays the scene and the glad reunion on the other shore, just beyond the bounds of time, for, with the othergood^pialities he possessed, he had learned to abide by the teachings and apply to himself the cleans­ ing blood of the Savior of man. The funeral was held from the M. E. Church, in this village, last Sunday morn­ ing and was largely attended by relatives and triends both from home and abroad. His remains were interred in Woodland Cemetery, and in the open grave flowei s of beauty and Iragrance were strewn with lavish hand by members of the Young People's Literary Society, of which he was a member. So, with the joyous an­ ticipation of an eternal reunion "'In the sweet bye-and-bye," we leave him resting in the arms o! the faithful Guide he loved to serve. COM. Card of Thanks. To our many friends in McHenry and especially Mr. and Mrs. F. K. Granger, and the Young Peoples' Litorarv Society, we wish to return our heartfelt thanks for the many kindnesses shown us in our late sad bereavement. That each and all of them may be spared like sorrow for many years to come is our heartfelt wish. MRS. L. D. BLACKMAN, H. L. BLACKMAN. Death of Charles Harrison. Our citizens were shocked on Saturday morning last to learn of the sudden! death of Charles Harrison, of Ringwood, who died at an early1 hour on that morn­ ing. He had been sick for some time, but was not considered dangerous by his family. He was a man honored and respected by all who knew him and his loss will be keenly felt by his immediate family and the community in which he^ lived. His funeral was held from his late residence on Monday and attended by a large concourse of relatives, neighbors and sympathizing friends. He was burried under direction of the Masonic Fraternity, of which he was an honored member. t An obituary and appropriate resolu­ tions will appear next week. \ A Fatal Accident. j Albert McLean, more familiarly known as "Doc" McLean, met with an ^ident at Barrington on Thursday night last which resulted in his death at an early hour on Friday. The particularffffiS near as we can learn them, are that he at­ tempted to get upon a fast moving train on the C. & N. W. R. R., and was thrown under the wheels, one arm and shoulder being crushed, and otherwise severely bruised about the body and he&d/ He jwas taken to the Cook' County Hospital, where everything was done that could be to save his life, but without avail, and he died as stated above. His remains were brought to this vill9geon Saturday even­ ing. His funeral was held from the Uni­ versalist Church on Sunday afternoon and his remains deposited in Woodland Cemetery. He leaves a wife, father, mother, two sisters and a brother to mourn his sad end. An obituary will appear in these Columns next week.

In tearing off the tug he dincover* ed a note therein, requesting the pur­ chaser to correspond with the maker of the shirt, in a New Jersey manufacturing town. She said she was working for starvation wages and hopwd to find a home and a husband, when she would be happy. He wrote to her, was pleased with her replies, went to New Jersey and married her. Three weeks after they were united for life, she received a letter from England, the home of her ancestors, containing a draft for £1,000 and a notification of the fact that she was heir to a fortune of over £150,000.

No more barrels of sweet cider rolled into a certain place here, aud by a process un­ known to the Gods, metamorphosed into the vilest liquor. Not alone in Chicago, is the liquor administration wound up. N. V. Woiebren, Cashier of the First National Bank, has resigned, to enter into partnership with R. M.

Mr. Woiebren has beeu*cuunected with the Bank for fifteen years, has had a splendid business train­ ing, and that he will be Bu«!cessful in bis new enterprise, it is assured.

He will become a partner ina whole­ sale grocery house in Duluth His pros­ pect is a flattering one, but he will be missed greatly. He was always genial and pleasant, and has not only the help­ ing word but the helping hand, to which many a poor family will attest.

Will Hutchison, the grocer, is working up an immense egg trade. Some of the hens must lay two eggs a day, and one extra on Sunday. Last week he shipped 78,000 eggs to one firm in Chicago. My! wouldn't they make a whopping custard pie. The pastors of the churches here have preached strong sermons on the observ­ ance of the Sabbath day, and by a rising vote of the congregration the keeping open of the World's Fair on Sunday was declared to be a desecration of that holy day, and iu direct opposition to His com­ mand. The young men of Marengo are about to organize a lawn tennisclub; also there is some talk of a cycling club for, young ladies. We are to have a business men's organ­ ization.

The Annual Village Election on Tues­ day last was well attended by the voters, for seventy votes were polled, and in con­ sequence the result can be expected as a fair expression of the wishes of thepeople. The ticket elected was composed of representative business men of the village and we can hope from them an adminis­ tration in which the general welfare of the village will take the precedence of merely private, selfish interests. The Officers elect give general satisfaction to the majority of the voters. They will enter upon their municipal duties next week.
