"GEORGE O." went first mile Tuesday in 2:34, and alter rubbing out repeated first quarter In 37 seconds, half mile in 1:13%, and a full mile in 2:29£. This, it must be remembered, on a track that is in no shape, and one of the slowest half- mile tracks in the State; besides the horse has not been out of the stud two weeks. We think our prediction that he will beat 2:20 before the season closes bids fair to be fulfilled. THE Chicago Comedy Company adver­ tised to appear at Riverside Hall for three*nights this week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but Tuesday morning closed their engagement and returned to the city. The cause was some trouble with their principal actor, who indulged in too much booze and was therefore in­ capacitated to appear. They were a fine trdupe and we are sorry they were unable to remain as advertised. 1*5 No MAN ever yet became wealthy by saving the nickels.

HON. ISAAC N. PEARSON, Secretary of the State of Illinois, has our thanks for a package of public documents, which in eludes reports of the several departments • ;t»f our State government, and of the various institutions for which appropri rations are made.

AN experienced teacher says that pu pils who have access to newspapers at home when compared with those who do not are better readers, better spellers, fetter grammarians, better punctuatera land read more understanding^, and ob tain a practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires the others. The newspaper is decidedly an important factor in modern life. This will not be disputed by any one who has taken the trouble tetr for himself. , 1 *f ED. GRANGER, son of Hon. F. K. ranger, had a narrow escape from 'death on Sunday afternoon last. While riding a horse upon the street, when. op­ posite the Central Market, the horse stumbled and fell, falling upon and roll­ ing completely over him. The lookers- on were horrified, supposing he would be instantly killed, but fortunately he es­ caped with no broken bones and bnt few bruises. How he escaped more serious injury is a mystery. ^^ROF . SURRICK and wife, Mabel Scott Surrick, will give their entertainment at Ringwood on Friday and Saturday even­ ings of this week, nnder the auspices of the Ringwood Band, and we wish to as­ sure our readers in that vicinity that if they wish to see something of real merit they should not fail to attend. Remem­ ber the date, Friday and Saturday even­ ings of this week and let them have a full house both evenings, as the programme is entirely different each evening. TRE entertainment at Riverside Hall, on Thursday and Friday evenings last, by Prof . G. L. Surrick and his wife, Mabel {Scott Surrick, was well atteuded and wiih prouonnced by all to have l««i one of the beet entertainments that ever " visited this village. It proved to be just what it was represented on the bills, only that not one-half was told. It is an entertain­ ment that delights and captivates the beholder, and one ie, as it were, spell­ bound from the beginning to the close. Every picture and scene is one of real merit, and is thrown out upon the can­ vass so real that the beholder is lost in wonderment, and for the time really thinks that he is in London, Paris, Washington or New York, br occupying a seat in some of the great art galleries of the old world. As we said last week, Prof. Surrick has spared neither time nor money in getting up an entertainment that would bear the most critical inspec­ tion, and that he has succeeded all who see it will readily admit. It is no catch­ penny magic lantern, but an entertain­ ment that is possessed of real merit, is instructive to the beholder, and while viewing it he sits in awe at the grandeur brought before his astonished vision. 1^ takes two nights to give afnll programme and no one should fail to see it all. In fact it will even bear repetition from be­ ginning to end. We hope that at no dis­ tant day he may see fit to giva another entertainment here. THE farm team of Joe. Buch was Ifcft standing in the rear of John J. Buck's Saloon, near the Iron Bridge, on Friday afternoon last and took it into their heads to runaway. They started for the farm, north of the village, and when near the residence of A. L. Howe overtook a top buggy, in which Mrs. Palmus, of Johnsburg, and her son, a boy about 12 or 13 years old. Being hitched to a heavy wagon the buggy was no obstacle and they run completely over it, break­ ing it into kindlingwood and injuring the occupants iu a serious mauner. The boy sustained a partial fracture of the skull and was otherwise bruised about the head and body, while Mrs. Palmus escaped with a badly bruised leg. How this dangerous feat could have been per­ formed without both occupants of the buggy loosing their lives is beyond com­ prehension. Both are now doing well v^ith fair prospects of complete recovery. A pass it along whether you beliew it or not; and that a one sided whisper against a virtuous and honorable char­ acter. You don't believe it but you wiH use your influence to bear up false reportB and pass it current. Strange creatures are men and women. How many repu tations have been lost by surmise. How many benevolent deeds have been chilled by the shrug of the shoulder. How many individuals have been shunned by a mysterious hint. How many chaste bosoms have been wrung by a nod. How many graves have been dug by false re­ ports. You will keep it above water by the wag of your tongue, when you might sink it forever. Lisp not a word that wm injure the character of anotb&r and as far as you are concerned, the slander will die.

Dunham Now THAT the potato bug is rampant, it is not best to respond too promptly to newspaper advertisements that promise a sure "potato bug killer" for a small sum. A farmer who saw such an advertisement remitted a dollar and in return received by mail two blocks of wood with direc­ tions as follows: "Take this block, which is No. 1, in the right hand, place the bug on No. 2, and press them to gether. Remove the unfortunate bug and proceed as before." THE mayor of Dubuque has ordered that the unlicensed dogs of that city be electrocuted instead of being barbarous- shot. The experiment has been tried and works admirably. The machine is set in the^tigraity of a lot of dogs and kflls everjrMfoenaed dog in the lot but does not injure a licensed one. The li­ censed dog has a metal tag on, which acts as a shield and the electricity takes no effect. The machine kills the dog, skins him and tans the hide in less than a quarter of a second. Verily, it is a great invention. Henry L. Jones, a retired merchant of Milwaukee^ recently said: "My success in business, in both small and large towns, has been largely due to judicious advertising--keeping my name and busi­ ness constantly before the people. Pe­ riodical advertising is not the thing, but a regular economical use of local news­ papers always paid me. Merchants make a mistake to quit advertising because times are dull. That is the time of all others they should inform the public as to their goods. In lively, easy times the people don't heed the advertisements as much as they do when money is scarce and trade quiet. Every business house will do better to have an advertisement the Y«$ WHWMJ. iu WW Ipcal papw*' . .

M£NY a man and woman wants to know the secret of keeping cool during the two hot months which are with us this season. First, it should be remem­ bered that cleanliness is not only next to Godliness, but iu part of coolness, and the man or woman who knows how to bathe and dress in the morning is going to be comfortable all day. A plunge bath is best, of couroe, but few people can indulge in that, so a bath tub is the next best tiling. It is best not to drink much water, for it induces perspiration and seems to keep one constantly thirsty. Eat light breakfasts. Greasy food, or a large quantity of it taken in the morning will most certainly heat the stomach for the whole day. It is well to remember that those who eat most sparingly com­ plain the least of the heat when the mer- cu ry is Covering about the n ineties. And it is best to make your bill of fare mostly of vegetables. Discard clothing contain­ ing starch and you will gain another great point. Lastly, remember to gov era the fiend called ill-temper. A fretful and irritable person can make the ther­ mometer run up to 176 in the shade in just no time at all. The secret of keeping cool, then, is regular bathing, proper food, proper clothing and good nature. P. of I. The Patrons of Industry of MeHenry county will hold their first.
