The Old Settlers' Meeting which was Wi for the 20th inst has been postponed one year.

It will pay everybody to attend it. " _____ RJSAD the new advertisements of John J.Miller, John Evanson & Co., and the McHenry County Fair, and the change in B. Bishop's flour "ad.," to be found in another place in this paper. THE Boone County Fair will be held at Belvidero on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th of September.

All interested are invited. All are requested ... to,be at the Church to start at 9 o'clock sharp. A MAN imagines that be has lots of fun In telling how difficult it is for even a woman to And her way into her own pocket, but all varnish comes off the laugh when he begius to remember how easily she gets into his pockets. TBAMPS arrested in Elgin are put at work on the city's stone pile. They will probably steer clear of that town as soon as they discover what they are to do if captured. McHenry is preparing to give them a dose of the same medicine. THK Trotting Stallion, "George O." is How at Washington Park, Chicago, where he is entered for the 2:26 Race on Saturday next. A large number of our horsemen and and other admirers of "George 0." will go in to see him trot on that day. Ifr" the sleeping room is warm it may be eooled for a time by wringing large pieces of cotton out of water and hang­ ing them before the open windows, says The Ladies' Home Journal. Leave the door open and as the air comes through the wet cotton it will be cooled. This is ai good device for cooling a sick room; the cloths can then be wet again and again. OAK LAWN ACADEMY, a school and home for boys of good families will open the second year September 16, 1891. Number limited to twenty. Able instruc­ tion will be given the student and close attention paid to making his home life pleasant and conducive to his happiness in later years by a wholesome course of discipline. Our location is both pleasant and healthful, and no effort will be spared to lead the boy to be a man. Address, Oak Lawn Academy, Ringwood, III.

The line of march will be on Madison street to Utica, on Uti<',a to Grand Ave­ nue, on Grand Avenue to Genessee, on Genessee to Washington, on Washington to Fair Grounds and grove. It is the wish of the reception committee that everyone in the county will attend. SLEEP is a beautifier for the gii U. We ttiive it from no less authority than Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Hearken to what she says: "I never yet heard a woman de­ clare herself a poor sleeper or an early riser under all circumstances who did not wear a jaded and worn appearance. I never yet saw a woman who was re­ nowned or remarkable for having kept her youthful looks and her health who was not a good sleeper, and who if ehe lost her early hours in the night by so­ cial pleasure*, did not make up for them in the daytime. All the cosmetics, all the massage, all the beauty baths and phys­ ical culture in the world cannot do for fagged cheeks and hollow eyes and fa­ tigue-blanched face what one good hour ON Tuesday next, the 25th, the Wood­ stock Fair will open, and a mont success­ ful exhibition in anticipated. The premi iiiftw are liberal and the entries promise to be fully as large as any preceding year. , The managers are sparing wft pains and every department will be under the direction of competent and faithful superiiitengents, and every detail carried out in a manner that cannot'fail to please both exhibitor and visitor. Read the advertisement in another column and be sure to make your arrangements to attend the Fair. PSK80NAL. I"' Base Ball---Elgin vs McHenry I*B. C. E.

The above announcement will be sad news to the many friends of Mi^s Annis in this village, where she raided for some time, with her aunt, Mrs. F. A Hebard. She always enjoyed good health until January last, when she suf­ fered an attack of La Grippe, from which she never fully recovered, and which ended in consumption, which was the cause of her death. She was a young lady highly respected here and her early demise will cause a feeling of sadness to many a heart. ACCORDING to a Mendota paper 1 people of that place and vicinity have been agitated the past week by an epi­ sode of a truly sensational character, the same being no less than the mysterious appearance of a profile likeness of the late Mrs. Ralph Shaffer on the family monument in the cemetery. The lady died last spring, and about six weeks ago her husband noticed for the first time the appearance of the profile of his wife on the headstone spoken of. It is of a shadowy nature, and another strange thing about it is that it is increasing in size. Very many people are visiting the cemetery to view it. An effort has been made to remove it from the stone, failing which the husband will have a new mon­ ument erected." EVERY person who has an artjele for sale should study the science of advertis­ ing. There is a way to make money out of advertising and there is a way to waste money. No shrewd merchant con­ tents himself with placing over his door a shingle on which his name is scrawled in lamp-black with a marking brush. No shrewd merchant would be content with a small, cheap advertisement, standing from year to year without change, in a newspaper. The secret of judicious ad­ vertising in the press is long-time con­ tracts, because cheaper, liberal space, because more attractive, and frequent change, because the wide-awake adver­ tiser always has something new to say to the public. THE eleventh week of the run of Sinbad at the Chicago Opera House commenced on last Sunday evening. The long and successful career of this extravaganza is rapidly drawing to a close. It will be seen in Chicago but three weeks longer, after which it will depart to fill engage­ ments on the pacific Coast. The enter­ tainment has shown a steady improve­ ment since its commencement. Each week something new has been added, and the features which have lacked bright­ ness and go have been eliminated until the piece at present is one rapid succes­ sion of laughter, bright music and splendid stage pictures. During the past week music has been introduced in the ballet, and Signor Marchetti, the balletmaster of the company, has arranged new move­ ments and steps to accompany it, some of which are exceedingly novel and strik­ ing. Notwithstanding the recent hot weather Siubad has maintained its record as a great drawing attraction. .Toilet. Excursion to <lie prison city without change of cars, Saturday August 22.

Ktiines of the t*«a»nii, the Picket* winning 4ijMi-&core uf 5 to 3. It was an interest­ ing name throughout. Tfie Pickets went to batand in the first inning scored one run. The McHenry's followed and scored two. From that until the fifth inning they went out in "one, two, three order, each side scoring a goose egg. Then by errors the Pickets were allowed to score two tallies in the fifth and two in the sixth, while the McHenry's made one in the ninth leaving the score five to three in favor of Elgin. But it was a game of wl'ich neither club have cause to feel ashamed. The home battery,--Granger and Owen--done themselves proud, and when we consider the amount of practice the boys have bad, every member ol the nine showed himself a Ball Player.

In cell No. 1 on Sunday night was confined a young man by the name of Mathews, who had been arrested and fined on a charge of drunk and disorderly, but agaiust whom Detective Benthusen had a warrant for robbery. In the same cell was Mikf Shugareau, who was also serving out time for drunkenness. During the night some one gained access 1o the lower part of the City Hall through the window and from there to the corrodor of the Jail part, where they made a des* per ate effort to pry open the door to the cell, but it defied their best efforts. The only damage they succeeded in doing was to spring the bolt of the lock so that the key would not turn and if was necessary to get a locksmith to ojien it. Who it was who made this bold attempt is as yet unknown. Detective Brnthnsen came up on Tuesday and took Mathews away on a charge of robbery, which will probably put him beyond the reach of deliverers in the near future. ^ Joflet Excursion to the Prison city, Saturday August 22.

R. boys? I don't believe it." Yet it is true, and the boj-s of '01 are themselves silver-haired and grandfath­ ers not a few of them. As to thtKthinning ranks, however, it may be a satisfaction to them, now back in their homes/to re­ member that the procession of the brave old G. A. R.'s this year at Detroit had 14,000 veterans in its ranks, the largest procession that has marched at an an­ nual reunion since the G. A. R. was or? ganized. But the saddest feature of that grand procession was that so few leading generals of war time were there to review it. They have nearly every one gone over to the silent army, , We used to hear a good deal about Canada first, now we hear about "Canada after all," vide the following in^ one of Gath's letters to the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated Niagara Falls: The,Americans do not dislike the Cana­ dians'on the other fide of the river, but have not much admiration for their slowness. I asked Col. Ben Flager, presi­ dent of the bank at Suspension Bridge, if Toronto was not a very bright place, with its present large population, which is perhaps two-thirds that of Buffalo. 'Oh yes," said he. "it is something of a town, but my God, after all it is Canada." Tally one for Denver. In the Western Base Ball league Den­ ver commenced at the top of the ladder. She has now slid down to second place from the bottom. We don't blame the boys, considering the weather. But another record shows that theQueenCit.v still maintains her position of first place. During the month *of July, the Real Estate transfers were, in Chicago, some­ thing more than fifteen millions of dol­ lars. In St. Louis, they were about four millions; Minneapolis with a population of 166,000, footed three million eight hundred thousand; St. Paul comes next with a few thousand behind Minneapolis, while Kansas City stands in the record with less than two millions., Salt Lake City's transfers for July amounted to about four hundred and fifty thousand and Denver with a population of one hundred and t wea^-eix thousand adorns the list with a record of four million one hundred thousand, thus leadiug all the other cities but Chicago. The above figuies are official according to the Daily Press rejjorts of each respective city, McHenry, August 17, 1891. 16?"Old Republicans will be pleased to know that Mrs. Fremont and daughter are now in possession of the house that was presented to them by the committee of Los Angeles ladies.
