LOST, between the residence of Henry Krumpen, North of Johnsburgh and the Johnsburgh Bridge, on Saturday, July 4th, a Ladies Black Jacket. The finder will confer a favor upon the owner by leaving the same at the Johnsburgh Post Office. ALL. station agents on the roaring Rock Island route are now obliged to wear uniforms. The other day an order flashed along the line, saying: "Tailor on next train; be ready to be measured for pants." It scared the lady operator at Minonk half to death. 'THB game of Ball on the Driving Park, !>n the 4th was not of the most interest­ ing character, as neither Club played up /to their usual standard. The result was 116 to 15 in favor of Woodstock. After a while the boys will find out that in order to play Base Ball it will be neces- ry to practice. THE party at the Riverside House on ' the 3d, was a grand success financially, in numbers and every other way. Two indred and one couples were present, and everything passed off as smooth as a Sunday .School. Every one present was well pleased and voted mine host Story a success as a caterer for large as well as \small crowds. REMEMBER the Old Settlers' Annual Meeting takes place in this village Aug­ ust 20th, and make your arrangements according. It is expected this will be one of the largest gatherings held for years. An excellent programme is being arrang­ ed and some of the best speakers in the State may be expected. We hope to be able to announce the speakers next week. THIS week closes Volume 16 of the PL.AINDEAL.EB and as a large number of subscriptions will therefore expire we trust all will be prompt in their renewals as the improvements which we are weekly making costs money and to meet the demands need every dollar. Next we shall have something to say as to the past, present and future of the PLAIN- DEALER. AN unfeeling editor thus unburdens his soul; This is the season of graduating exercises at the schools and colleges of the land, the young man who to-day delivers a masterly oration on "Aims in Life" may next year be driving a street car, while the beautiful young lady who read the essay "Tread not on the flowers while looking at the stars" is liable to elope with a barber before the year is out. • THERE has just died at Newton, 111., a young lady eighteen years of age, who weighed 508 pounds. She was Miss. Iiosella Kibler, daughter of a 'farmer. A coffin 6 feet long, 3 feet wide and 21 inches deep was specially constructed for the remains, and one side of the house had to be removed as the doors would not permit the exit of this massive burial case. Ten men were required to lift the retipuns into the wagou at the funeral. Ajf exchange says that the other day a wagon maker who had been dumb for years, picked up a hub and spoke. Yes, and a blind carpenter on the same day reached out for his plane and saw, and a deaf sheep ranchman went out with his dog and herd, and a noseless fisherman caught a barrel of herring and smelt, and a defunct hatter was tenderly depos­ ited on a pile of hair and felt, and a forty- ton elephant inserted his trunk into a grate and flue. "A DAKOTA farmer sold his son-in-law one half of a cow and then refused to divide the milk, claiming that he sold the front half of the beast. He also required his son-inlaw to provide all the food the cow consumed and compelled him to carry all the water to her three times a day. Recently the cow hooked the old man and he is suing the son-in-law for damages." That son-in-law could have easily got even with the old gentleman by simply butchering his half of the cow.

' The public has little appreciation of the value of well conducted local news­ papers. Their offices of beneficence to the community are so common that they are unnoted, but none the less no town or city can advance without its news­ papers are in the forefront of advance­ ment. They are the life of^the commun­ ity. They must lead in every effort to invite capital, enlarge industries and en­ thuse the people in the use of their ad­ vantages. The local newspaper is the one news­ paper that should command the patron­ age of the community. If only one jour­ nal can be taken in a family it should be the one published at home. There is now little excuse for any person of ordi­ nary intelligence not taking a city daily with the local newspapers, since the best can be had for a nominal cost, but there should ever be the heartiest accord and sympathy between the local newspaper and t hecommunity.--Philadelphia Times.

It seemed discouraging, after so mucli good speaking to try to say more, and it was placing him to a disadvantage to be called in here, but he was equal to the oc­ casion. We vote Mr. Nickle the gold medal, and no discredit to the other speakers either. Ringwood may well, be proud to entertain the crowd. Dinner of the picnic order was spread beneath the shade which nature furnished to ward off the scorching rays of the noonday sun, where the most bounti­ ful repast was spread that ever graced the beautiful lawn of Walker's Grove. After dinner the flag drill by the young ladies of Ringwood, we are told was quite a novel and interesting entertainment, but as we were unable to attend cannot give details. The fireworks in the even­ ing were a very creditable display near the M. E. Church, and the streets were crowded with spectators who came from many miles around to witness the exhi­ bition. Many from McHenry were there. From first to last this celebration was a success. Not an accident nor an un pleasantness to record; harmony ai,d good feeling prevailed, and all with one accord vote the Ringwood people the banner. WE have recently had the pleasure of examining a new historical work bearing the expressive and appropriate title of "Footprints of the Worlds History," by William S. Bryan, with a very excellent and valuable Introduction by John Clark Ridpath, the eminent historian. To say that we are pleased tfith this new candi­ date for public favor does not adequately express our sentiments, for we are in fact delighted with it. We have never seen any other book that came so near to the standard of what we think history ought to be. If all histories could be composed like this, we would have less novel read­ ing, and the growth of sound and whole­ some sentiments would be more rapid and satisfactory. "Footprints of the World's History" is a grand and pure book, and parents will do their children an inestimable service by giving them an opportunity to read it. We pledge our word they will read it, not once, but many times, for it embraces those splen­ did achievements which have so thrilled the hearts of men in past ages, and will continue to serve as an inspiration to nobler lives and grander purposes for all time to come. It is a book of about 600 pages, illustrated with over two hundred and fifty Historical and miscel­ laneous engravings, and copies of curious ancient prints by the great artists. R. Holly of this village is agent for this book in this section, and is now taking orders for the same, and no one should fail to give it . a thorough examination when he calls. It is a book that should be in every family. li^The eminent scientists and theorists of an uncertain school have been fooling the people of this country for years. They have taught that France and Eng­ land could make incomparable woolen cloths, owing to climate and water-- which cloths Indiana is said to be now surpassing. Tin plates could not possi­ bly be gotten up here because America was deficient not only in the water and climate, but in tin itself. And now the people of Wales threaten to invade these States and supply the world with tin plates. The deductions are all askew, and the premises of the Times-Past-Na­ tion must be mistaken.
