THE latest thing in fishing rods is a hollow butt, suitable for carrying "bait." This is a great convenience to fishermen who have been in the habit of carrying their bait in a pint bottle. J. F. BARNEY, of Cedarville, Kan., in a letter renewing his subscription to the PLAINDEALER, sends a sample of very fine .Kansas wheat. He says harvesting is about over and that grain of all kinds is extra good. ^THE old rookery of a barn, just North >f the Riverside House, was condemi ed ^by the Board of Health last week, and torn down. The old building next ad­ joining should be served in the same way. It is certainly a nuisance to that part of town. AN exchange tells the good housewife that in order to prevent juice from run­ ning out in the oven, make a little open­ ing in the crust and insert a roll of white letter paper perpendicularly. The steam will escape from it as from a chimney and all the juice will be retained in the pie. SEVERAL boys who were candidates for a naval cad'etship from a district in Michigan were rejected because the ex­ amining physicians found that their hearts had been affected by smoking cigarettes.--Ex. And stall, there are McHenry lads who continue to smoke the vile things. The Uuited States court has decided that it is illegal to swear through Uncle Sam's mail. A Connecticut man saw fit to -- another in a sealed letter. The recipient not relishing the adjectives brought suit in the United States court where he was held in $200. It would be a blessing to decency if a few of our street loafers were given a lesson in language. Those interested in turf pastimes should bear in mind the races of the Aurora Driving Park Association, which occur July 21st to 24th--4 days. The Association has offered $5,000 in purses and has had agents soliciting entries at all the recent meetings. Their meetings promise to bring together the very best horses in the country. Excursion rates have been secured on all the railroads and a large attendance is assured. IF you have a little farm or business, or steady work and out of debt do not fret and work yourself and wife into the grave for the sake of making money. You have only one life and that is very brief at most. Take a little comfort as you go on day by day, and try to do a ltttle good to others. A morbid, insati ate desire to possess the earth and to grab at all in sight, is at the foundation ^ of more misery than any one thing. _ PEKSONAXte BARBUS, Postmaster of Yolo, was on our streets on Tuesday. t.

BISHOP, whom we reported )ast week as being very sick, is now lying /at the point of death, there being no hopes of her recovery. She has been un­ conscious since Thursday last. Her con­ dition casts a gloom over our entire com­ munity. READ the new advertisements of .1. R. Saylor&Son, John Evanson St Co., J. W. Cristy & Son, and R. Bishop, all to be found in another place in this paper. WE are under obligations to Dr. H. T. Brown, for copies of Rapid City, South Dakoto, papers. In one of them we find the following item: "Paul Brown, of Chicago, Secretary of the Rapid City gas company, is in town looking after the affairs of his company, and is the guest of Manager Jewett. He is well pleased with Rapid City, and will'say a good word for it on his return home." IT is said to be a curious fact that nearly all men, who unconsciously, of course, step on women's dresses and wipe their feet on other men's trousers, are victims of the unfortunate habit of "toeing in." A close observer has only to walk half a mile on a crowded street on a busy day and take note of the men who toe in, it is asserted, to see the men who are eternally stepping on some­ body's heels. THE best farmers' organization of which we have ever read is one which was recently organized in Warren county, Tennessee. It is called "The Farmers' Reliance," and the platform is consistent and to the point as follows: Work hard ten hours a day; work three hundred days in a year; never go to town with­ out carrying something to sell; and nev­ er buy anything/without paying for it. When that system becomes general there will be no more hard times. WE are happy to be able to announce to our readers in McHenry and vicinity that they are soon to have the pleasure of witnessing one of the finest entertain­ ments ever given in this county. We refer to the entertainment to be given at the Methodist Church on Thursday and Friday evenings of next week, July 30th arid 31st. by Prof. Geo. L. Surrick and his wife, Mabel Scott Surrick. Mrs. Surrick, (nee Kittie Scott) is too well known here to need any introduction from us, arid as a Songstress, Elocution­ ist and Pianist has few equals and no superiors in the west, while Prof. Surrick as a descriptive Lecturer cannot be surpassed. His descriptions and dissolv­ ing views of llomfe, London, Paris, New York. Philadelphia and Washington are so real that one thinks he has the reality before him. The following are a few among the many reasons why everybody should be present at these novel, instruc­ tive, and most satisfactory attractions. First. They more than please all classes. They are intense in realism, wholesome in morals, elevating and refining to all the senses. A source of education to the young and enjoyment to all. Mr. Surrick has invested money without stint, and had years of experience in thi%most suc­ cessful effort to please his n&rons. Re­ member this entertainment takes place at the M. E. Church on Thursday and Friday evenings of next week, July 30th, and 31st. If you fail to go you will miss a rich treat. Monona. Lake Assembly at Xadlson.

The following is an extract from the obituary published 'in the Waukegan Gazette of l«mt, week: f "Mrs. Maggie Pratt, the wife of Geo, W. Pratt, of Wauconda, III., waft a native of Beaver Dam, Wis. She was born Nov. 5, 1854, and departs! this lile July 9, 1891. 5$lie had been a patient sufferer for several years; all the best of medical aid aud countiel was obtaiued to allevi­ ate her suffering, but she was destined to never recover again. She was a kind and affectionate wife and a tender aud loving mother, and was a friend to all. She left to mourn her death her husband and son Eddie. Eddie and his mother shared that sacred and tender love of mother and BOD. The true analysis of that mot­ to so often seen in our homes--"What is home without a mother?"--will be fully understood in this sad and bereaved home. The vacant chair, the sweet and loving admonitions of a mother dear will ever be missed. That tender voice and motherly love is gone and stilled into the sleep of death. We are much con­ soled by the thought that there may be a meeting again where parting is no more. The funeral obsequies were conducted by Mr. Justus Bangs, and the fuuer»U» dis­ course was rendered by Itaa, Rroatl in an interesting and impf^MllHBflttllt at the Baptist church, interred in the Wam friends extend to Eddie due sympathy in NUNDA.

ONE of the saddest accidents that it as been our lot to record for many a day, occurred at Terra Cotta Wednesday forenoon last. Miss Elizabeth A. Powers, daughter ot Thos. Powers, aged about 16 years, was killed by the cars at Terra Cotta Station. She had just ar­ rived on the first train, and was walking up to the cross-road to meet her mother, who was waiting with a team to take her home, when the passenger from Chicago ran onto her. She got on the Lake Ge­ neva Passenger at Elgin to return to her home near Terra Cotta. When she alighted at that station she walked down the track to the road where her mother was waiting. As she was going down the track, the Geneva Lake Express from the Wisconsin Division came along and the engineer whistled, it is said, to warn her of danger. The girl looked back and saw the train, but thought she could cross a culvert just ahead before it came along. She started to run and had just reached the cattle-guard when the engine struck her. She was thrown fifty feet from the track and instantly killed. Her mother sat in her carriage btft a few rods away and saw her daughter killed. Her funeral was held from the Catholic church in this village, on Friday, and was one of the largest ever seen in this vicinity, over seventy teams being in the procession. Behind the hearse were sev­ en young ladies, dressed in white, each carrying a handsome bouquet, which they deposited in the last resting place of their departed companion and friend. The bereaved family have the heartfelt spttpathy of all in their great sorrow. F P R O F . J. H. BURGER, who has presided over the West Side school with such ac­ ceptability for the past two years, we learn, has been elected to the principal- ship of the Iceland High School. The Board of Education and people of Mc­ Henry very much regret Prof. Burger's decision not to remain with us another ycar^- No higher testimonial can be given Mr. Burger than that, unsolicited, his position was tendered him for another year by the Board at an increase of sal­ ary. Prof. Burger and his estimable wife have made a host of friends here who are very sorry to have them go from among us. They will be much missed in church and social circles. The best wishes of their many friends go with them. THE Ringwood Cemetery Aid Society will meet at Band Hall, Thursday even­ ing, July 23, 1891.

"IT is not the way to keep the boy on the farm by telling him after supper to milk the cows, feed the horses, slop the pigs hunt up the eggs, feed the calves, catch the colt and put him in the stable, cut some wood, split up the kindlings, stir the cream, put fresh water in the creamery, and be sure to study his lessons before he goes to bed,, while you are at the farmers' club to discuss the question: 'How to keep the boy on the farm,'" and helping to aid some old office-seeking crank, of the "Sock-less Simpson" order.

Mr. George Tennant, of this city, in conversation with a representative of the Mailuml Times, one evening this week said: "Yes, I took this prevailing influ­ enza. 1 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. "0, 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 niight 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. The following frank statement from J. E. Hare, of Trenton, Texas, will be of interest to many of our citizens. "My little boy was very bad of for two months with diarrhcea. We used various medi­ cines, klso called in two Doctors, but nothing done him any good until we used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhiea Remedy, which gave immediate relief and soon cured him. I consider it the best medicine made and can recom­ mend it to all who need a diarrhea or colic medicine." For sale by Geo. W.
