Rawlins, Grant's great ad­ jutant general and secretary of war dur­ ing his flrst administration, died at her home, near Galena, 111., on Thursday, July 23, aged 88 years. General G. T. Bpauregard is the sole survivor of those^ who h^icT the highest rank, that of full general, in the Confed­ erate army. It is also said that out of the 498 men who bore the title of general in that army, but 184 are living. In an­ other decade but few who fought on either side will be left to tell the story of carnage and hardships endured during the civil war. ^ "Dr. W. H. Gibbon, of Chariton, Iowa, writes an old comrade in Washington that nothing since the war has made him so unspeakably sad as the death of poor Gen. Belknap. "So brave, even in his misfortune--so good and brave and true in every way. God bless his memory and keep it fresh in the minds of his com­ rades. What a grand old campflre we will have on the other side of the river, with you and Belknap and myself there­ with the hosts of our friends that have gone before. We will have a big 'shake,' sure." The Doctor was the efficient sur­ geon of Gen. Belknap's old regiment, the I5th Iowa. - "The remains of John O'Morrow, a sol­ dier of an Ohio cavalry regiment, were exhumed in a field in Wilson Co., Tenn., some 35 miles from Mnrfreesboro, and reinterred in the Stone River National Cemetery, on Saturday, July 20. O'Mor­ row was wounded in a skirmish or fall of 1863, near "the Glades," now called Gladesville, and was left at the house of Mrs. Winnie Clemens near by, and died a few days later. Among his remains were found two light gold bands or finger rings, which will be transferred to. the friends or relatives of O'Morrow, if such can be found. Any information bearing on the subject can be had by addressing the Superintendent of the Stone River National Cemetery, P. O. Box 84, Mur« freesboro, Tenn."

Report of the committee on public build­ ings and grounds was read to the Board, to-wit: STATE OF ILLINOIS,\ McHenry County, j88 Board of Supervisors, July term. July 15, A. D. 1891. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors: Your committee to whom was referred the resolutions presented by Sup. Granger, instructing this committee to examine the jail and report at this meeting what repairs or alterations, if any, they deemed it neces­ sary to make for the safe keeping of prisoners, would beg leave to submit the following report on the matters before them: We have examined the jail and its corridors and are of the opinion that in its present condition it is not as secure as it might be made by a small outlay. We find no provision for excluding the general public from the hall adjoining the jail, and no means of preventing the passing of tools or weapons through the grating to the prisoners. We also find the locking bar to one of the cells sawed off and recommend that it be replaced as soon as practicable. We alBO find that access can easily be obtained to the hall adjoining the jail, also to jailor's corridor- from basement, through the hot air openings or registers, and recommend that that they be furnished with perma­ nent gratings. We also recommend that the wooden table now used in the jail be replaced by some other device to answer the purpose as a dining table, as we regard the old one a dangerous weap­ on, which might be used against the sheriff or as a tool to be used in an attempt to escape. We have not been able to decide upon the most feasible plan for excluding the public from the hall adjoining the jail, but would advise that this committee (or a special com­ mittee) be empowered to make such alter­ ations or repairs as in their judgement they may think advisable for the secur­ ity of any prisoners confined in the jail. All of which is respectfully submitted. ' f '-;/ ;v;'U'^r L. T. HOY, -i, c ' F.E.STEVENS. Sup Beck moved to amend the report by striking out the words "or a special committee."

Mr. Chairman &nd Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors: Your committee on elections would beg leave to submit the following report on the matters before them: That we have examined the expense bills of the various towns and precincts incurred at the last judicial election and find the same correct, and recommend the paying to each person the sum set opposite their names, and we also recommend that the request of the peti­ tioners of the township of Algonquin be granted by dividing the said townships into three election districts, the lines and boundries to corresdond with the map presented. The names and numbers of said election districts to be as follows; Algonquin, first district; Crystal Lake, second district; Cary, third district. The misceianeous business of the township to be conducted at the first district. The petitioners promise to pay one-third of the expense of conducting general elec­ tions in said townships as per resolution as follows: Be it Resolved by the legal voters of the town of Algonquin that we respectfully request the honorable Board of Super­ visors of the county of McHenry to estab­ lish a precinct and polling place at Cary Station and describe the metes and bounds ot' the precincts and polling places established, and the township shall bear one-third (%) of the expense of such pre* cincts and polling. The above resolution, on motion, was carried, and was recorded on page 231 of town records, April 11, 1891. V. N. FOHD, Town Clerk. We also recommend that the Board of Supervisors designate as the two news­ papers to publish the new election law the Woodstock Sentinel and the McHenry County Democrat, to be allowed $.'$0.00 each for the same, and to all other news­ papers in the county publishing the same we recommend the paying of $10 each.
