Let all turn out and lend a hand. By request of inter­ ested ones. YOUR name and address printed on your envelopes often saves trouble, delay and annoyance. For instance, if you fail to direct your letters properly, the home postmaster sees your name on the envelope and can call your attention to the mistake. The same if you fail to put a stamp on. If the lettej cannot be de­ livered at the office to which it is dis­ patched, it will be returned to you instead of being sent to the dead letter office. It is economy to have your name and address printed on your envelopes. ONE day last week the residence of J. Gracey, who lives near Tewa Cotta, was entered during the temporary absence of the family and a gold watch, some jew­ elry and a new suit of clothes stolen. Detective Benthusen was immediately sent for who soon got upon the track of the thiei and on Thursday night last arrested on West Randolph street, Chi-j cago, one Michael Callahan, ajid recov­ ered all of the stolen property. Wheqj arrested Callahan attempted to chew up some pawn tickets, but Benthusen* promptly took him by the throat and made him disgorge. On searching his room be found a quantity of jewelry, six solid gold rings and some property that was stolen in Dundee in April last. He was brought to Nunda on Friday and on his examination he plead guilty, was bound over under bonds of $2,000 and yas taken to Woodstock jaiL A Mechanical WondMr. • The Decoration Day issue of the Albany,- N.

To Newspaper Borrowers s Did you ever pause to reflect that yon area nuisance of the first water? Do you know that the neighbor from whom you borrowed this very paper you are now reading is often greatly incon­ venienced by you? He subscribes and pays for the paper for his own individual use and benefit, it is not done for your pleasure, education or comfort. He may not tell you so to your face, because the class of men who subscribe and pay for a newspaper are good,- kind hearted fellows but they do a great deal of thinking all the same, when you ask for their newspaper. Stop borrowing and you will stop making a nuisance of yourself. f Miss HATTIE MEAD entertained her Sunday School class last Satnrday after­ noon.

ALGONQUIN. EDITOR PLAINDKALKK :--During the Thunder Storm on Wednesday night last J. Helm's Hardware store was set on fire by an over charge of electricity on the Telephone wires, but by good luck it was discovered in time so that very slight damage was done. The Telephone Company got their lines to working again on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Helm wishes to take this oppor­ tunity of thanking his friends who turned out. so promptly and done such effective work extinguishing the fire in his store on Wednesday night of last week. Miss Josephine Adamek, of Elgin, spent a part of last week with relatives and friends here. • The concert given by Dundee talent at the Congregational Church here, on Fri­ day evening of last week, was well at­ tended, considering the state of the weather. They had a very good pro­ gramme and it was well rendered and seemed to give entire satisfaction to all present. Rev. Mr. Medbury, of Nunda. held re­ vival services at the Congregational Church the past week. Mr. S. S. Chapell and Miss Cora Jaynes were converted by faith. Mr. Chapell was baptized in the river here on Friday last by Rev. Mr. Medbury. Dr. Nason has been going to Elgin every day since Thursday of last week, to attend Mr. Geo. Marshall, who is very sick. Mr. Marshall was a former resident of Algonquin. C. E. Chapell came in with a car-load of milch cows on Saturday last, and is billed for an auction sale for Tuesday of this week. J.

The Doctor reports a good time and a very large attendance of the physicians of the region embraced by the association. As the Kee & Jaynes 'bus was coming into town one evening last week, as they were near the railroad track south of town, they heard something drop, and on Saturday last the street committee was called out to inspect the road and found a depression in the road that re­ quired immediate attention. The Ladies' Sewing Society of the Con­ gregational Church will give a ten-cent tea at Mrs. E. Bigelow's on Wednesday of next week and all are cordially invited to attend. EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--'The corres­ pondent of the Woodstock Sentinel from this place attempted to play the "I am holier than thou" racket in his communi­ cation a few weeks ago, and for fear it might react quoted iUan the saying of the Elgin News. It is singular how a sore-head can always see something out of character in his successful rival, and in his eagerness to criticise, forget, like the turkey buzzard, that while his head is hidden, his hideous body is still in full view. It is the common talk that if a/i.v one in Algonquin did what the Sentinel correspondent charges it was that indi­ vidual himself, and yet the people voted the straight ticket, and Algonquin has a board of trustees composed of her best citizens, every one of whom, from Presi dent to Clerk, will do honor to the posi­ tion they occupy. The writer of the slur above referred to would do well, to post up where he could read it often, the fol­ lowing: "O, wud rme pow'r th* gift a gifts*. To see oursol's »s uher* tH as.

WE are glad that the Secretary of the State Board of Health is calling the at­ tention of municipal officers to the neces­ sity of cleanliness. We hope that the officers of our village may not neglect this vital subject, and that each house­ holder within the corporation may see to it that the premises under his control are thoroughly cleansed. Burn up every­ thing that will burn, bury the rest and use lime and other disinfectants freely. Two or three quarts of fresh lime, once a month in the privy vault, a dish of fresh lime in the cellar, and a good careful watching all of the time will save the loss of many days by sickness, as well as many dollars in doctor's bills. Old Settlers' Reunion. The committee on refreshments extend an especial invitation to all residents of the Fo* River valley and vicinity who are over seventy years of age, without regard to the length of time they have resided here, to be present at the Old Settlers' gathering at Elgin, Saturday, June 6th, on the grounds of the Elgin Packing Co. A separate table and refreshments will be provided and covers laid for all who will send their names to the undersigned by June 1st.
