ALMOST all advertising pays that asso­ ciates a man's name with his business in the public mind, but the percentage of profit is notably governed by the expert- ness exhibited. The more thought be­ stowed upon this iudispensible auxiliary of trade, the surer is the success of the thinker. In all human history printers ink has never been more potently pro ductive of patronage than it is to-day. THE sudden death of two young boys at Pt-airie du Chien occurring simultane­ ously after excessive smoking, led to post-mortem examination. The boys stomachs were subject to a chemical analysis and the presence of phosphorus was discovered.

They are now at work putting:"* Electric Call and Fire Alarm Bells; something but few country hoteli can boast of. Landlord Story is doing ncthing by halves, and sparing neither time nor money in mak­ ing these repairs. McHenry will have ^ustcause to feel proud of her hotel. ( SOME people think they can get better and cheaper printing in Chicago than at home, yet this week we Are doing five jobs for Chicago parties. They saw our work, let us make them prices and we se­ cured the business. Nothing "confusing" about this. Simply a straight business turn. And right here we wish to say the PLAINDEALER Job Department, in artis­ tic work, will not take a back seat for any office, inside or outside of Chicago. / THERE will be an opening party at the iverside House, in this village, on 'Wednesday evening, May 27th.

THE new Board of Supervisors of Mc­ Henry County will be as follows, those marked with a star being hold-overs, and those marked with a dagger being re­ elected: Riley : tA. Barber Marengo #C. P. Wright " village R. M. Patrick Dunham tR. J- Beck Chemung *H. S. Williams Harvard village C. M. Johnson Deteotlve Benttmaen A®ain to the Front As we have said many times before, the criminal who has Benthusen on his track has a slim cbAnce to get away. This is again proven by a case which he has just unearthed near Richmond. Mrs. Jennie Stewart, widow of George Stewart, had |542 stolen from her house somewhere about April 4th last. About that time it appears that a man named Pendleton, who lives at or near Woodstock, was up there and staid over Sunday. A day or two afterwards Mrs. Stewart missed her money. She wrote to Mr. Pendleton, telling him she had met with a great loss, but did not tell him what it was. He did not answer, but after a week or so went up there. On Thursday of last week Benthusen was given the case, and, as was natural, thought it looked a little strange that the man Pendleton had not replied or taken other notice of her let ter,but after making a thorough examin­ ation of the man he made up his mind he was innocent. It then became evident to him that some one had taken advantage of Mr. Pendleton being there and stolen the money, thinking it would be laid to him and thus keep suspicion from them­ selves. Detective Benthusen then went to the house of Mrs. Stewart's married son, two miles west of Richmond, and, by skillful questioning, soon made up his mind that the son's wife was the thief. He told young Stewart so, but he thought it could not be possible, but, on con­ fronting his wife, Benthusen soon made her own up, and show him where she had hidden the money, with the exception of what she had spent. The work was skill­ fully done, and working as he was in the beginning without a clue, onlv those which were misleading, it proves Ben­ thusen to be a detective of no mean abilities. Whether Mrs. Stewart will prosecute is a question. It was a great relief to Mr. Pendleton, who, had the matter never been cleared up, would have been thought guilty by many. C. F. Hall Again on Deck. The D u ndee Ha where has the following: The people of Dundee will be pleased to learn that the Hall store will be reopened soon, and by the energetic and capable business man who built the large and handsome edifice and conducted a pros­ perous business for a long time. Mr. Hall, like many others who handle & busi­ ness so extensive, met with reverses and was obliged to give up temporarily all that wi'h hard work and remarkable business ability, he had so well estab­ lished. Now a company has been formed with C. F. Hall at the head, and the busi­ ness will be resumed. A finer and more complete stock of goods will fill the shelves, counters, and show cases. The business yfill be conducted on a strictly cash basis. An able and genial corps of assistants will be employed, and we look for the old-time rush to be ready for the opening, occurring in about ten or twelve days." Not atone in Dundee, bat tbroeghoet McHenry county will this be good news to the buying public. Hall has a reputa­ tion far and wide as a straightforward, reliable business man, and his customers came from all over McHenry, Lake and Kane counties will be glad to hear that he will go into business again.

By Willis Fletcher Johnson, Assisted by Maior- General O. O. Howard, U. S. A.: Hub­ bard Brothers, Philadelphia, 1891. The public will greet with much inter­ est this complete biography oi the last of the great Union Generals. Sherman's autobiography, published years ago, was only a partial record of his career, and until the appearance of the present vol­ ume, a full history,of the famous soldier was lacking. In 'this work, however, every important scene in his eventful life is^ portrayed with graphic power; due prominence is given to his social and personal traits in times of peace; there is a compilation of many of his best letters, etc.; and a closing touch of interest is added in the tributes and eulogies pro­ nounced above him since his death, and the estimates of his military genius and his personal character made by those who knew him best. Mr. Johnson has done his work as a historian well, giving a narrative that is at once coherent, com­ plete, fascinating in interest, and evident­ ly imbued with earnest admiration for his subject. General Howard, who was one of Sherman's closest comrades, has reviewed the entire work, insuring its ab­ solute accuracy in matters of military detail, and has written an introduction. The volume is profanely and elegantly illustrated with admirably-executed por­ traits, war scenes, etc.. and is not only an excellent specimen of the bookmaker's art, but is unquestionably the best biog­ raphy of one of the greatest generals of modern times.

Travelers on business 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 Btart is made from Chicago the great starting point of western travel, no line 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 pleasant journey. MERIT WINS.
