Russian soldiers have recently been bereft of their senses by the apparition of balloons Failing in all di­ rections over their camps, out of shot reach and apparently under control, even sailing against a strong headwind. One balloon has been seen by night examin­ ing fortifications by search ligh ts. After examining matters to their complete satisfaction these air ships sailed away to Germany. If the problem of air navi gation has been solved the future method of war will be beyond present comprehension. Bombs dropped from the clouds, ships fighting in mid air, secret armies spied upon and many other phases will serve to keep matters in a lively state. pF.ftsdaf.AT,-. MR. AND MRS. O. W.

A London paper has been fishing for definitions as to what a baby is, and re­ ceived a list of definitions. That which took the prize was "a tiny feather from the wing of love, dropped into the uacred lap of motherhood." Among the definitions were the follow­ ing: A troub'esome compendium of great possibilities. The only precious possession that never excitesenvy. A bold asserter of the rights of free speech. A thing everybody thinks there is a great deal too much fuss about, unless it is their own. A thing we are expected to kiss and look as if we enjoy it. The one thing needful to make a home happy. There is only one perfect specimen of a baby in existence, and every mother )8 the happy possessor of it. The most extensive employer of fe­ male labor. The pulp from which the leaves of life's book are made. A padlock on the chain of lore. A soft bundle of love and trouble which we cannot do without. The morning caller, noonday crawler, midnight brawler. The magic spell by which the gods transformed a house into a home. A diminutive specimen of perverse hu­ manity that can scarcely de endured if it belongs to some one else, but, being our own, is a never failing treasure of delight. A mite of humanity that will cry no harder if a pin is stuck in him than he will if the cat won't let him pull her tail. A crying evil you only aggravate by putting down. The latest edition of humanity, of which every couple think they possess the finest copy. A native of all countries, who speaks the language of none. Tk^p sweetest thing God ever made and forgot to give wings to. That which increases the mother's toil decreases the father's cash, and serves as an alarm clock to the neighbors. A pleasure to two, a nuisance to every other body, and a necessity to the world. An inhabitant of lapland. West Point Gadetship. Notice is hereby given that a competi­ tive examination for the selection of a Cadet to West Point, from the Fifth Con­ gressional District, will be held at the Court House at Geneva, Kane county, on Wednesday, the fifteenth day of June, 1892, commencing at ten o'clock, A.

' lhEt>--Oi Paralysis, at Ogden City, Utah,*larch 31st, 1K»2, George Gilbert, of the town of Nunda, McHenrv County, Illinois * Mr. Gilbert was born in the town of Sidney, Deleware Co., N. Y , April 19th, 1817. iie was the third son of Stephen and Polly Gilbert, both natives of the state of New York, who raised a family of six children, five sons and one daugh­ ter only two of whom are now living viz: Mrs. H. S. Gregory and Benjamin Gilbert of this city. Mr Gilbert came to Illinois in 1848, pur­ chased a farm near Terra Cotta, Nunda, which he retained to the timefof his death. He married Sarah Elizabeth Mack, who died June 29,1868, leaving a family of six children, viz: Electa M., now the wife of F. B. Doran, Edson R., Ada L , Minnie M., William B. and Morton R. Gilbert. Thus early in life this large family of small children were bereaved by death of the fostering care of their loving intelligent and lovable mother, thereby suffering the most direful calamity that could afflict, or darken their pathway for succeding years. Now upon the father devolved the double duty of both maternal and paternal ancesters in car­ ing and providing for the little mother­ less children. Electa was the oldest of the fnrrijiy ana o n sld tv he!" father in ministering to the wantsof her -little brothers. On the 9th day of September 1874 Mr. Gilbert was joined in wedlock to Miss Lucia Hurd an estimable lady who ac­ companied him henceforth to the end of life's journey, and who it is our pleasure to record labored faithfully to make smooth the rough places in the highway of life. She was untiring and constant in administering to his wants in his last sickness, and by her devotion to the stricken one she has won the respect and approbation of a large circle of friends. He was stricken with paralysis at his home in Nunda May 7th, 1891, went to Utah last October and lived with his son Morton, at Ogden City, until death came to his relief and freed him from the trammels of his tired body. His remains were brought hom« and deposited in "Evergreen Cemetro Nunda, Mon­ day the 4th inst. fyjp-' * George Gilbert was a Spiritualist. He was that grand noble mail that if he had a conviction fee was not ashamed or afraid to proclaim it, regardless of popu­ lar opinion. He put his trust in the final triumph of Truth. Although to-day she was perchance crushed to earth by sordid superstition, and relentless bigots, the eternal years 6f endless time are hers, and she will arise and appear again in all her original, native purity, while error will writhe in pain and die among her worshipers, whose name is Legion. • His convictions were not guess-work. They were not the outgrowth of supersti­ tions imported from the dark jungles of the old world and engrafted on the stock of his infant mind here. But they were the result of conclusions founded upon his own observation and 0.f a -think iug mind which is able to sift fact from fiction As to property it is thought he leaves for his family a competency. He was a very methodical successful farmer. As his earthly form recedes from our view we mingle tears with weepingfriends, record our testimony to the sterling worth of this champion of truth. Death is the great leveler. "It is a kindly frost that cracks the shell and leaves the kernel room to germinate." From the 7th day of May last when Mr. Gilbert was first stricken with paralysis to the time of his release, he was imprisoned in his tenement of clay like the worm in its chrysalis, the chick in its shell, or the oak in the acorn waiting for time and inherent life to open the door and set him free. The loath­ some worm by its inherent capacity de­ velops into the butterfly with gilded wings; the egg into the beautiful bird and the acorn into the majestic oak. So the human soul ;the acme of all life, and of all known intelligence when released from its prison house here by the frostof death passes out into the great infinite beyond with infinite possibilities, ever tending onward and upward to the highest • at­ tainable altitude of eternal life. Even so did the subject of this obituary, on the last day of last month, pass from his environment here into the glorious sun­ light of higher life where Truth reigns supreme and Love is supernal. G 1ST" Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland seem to be riding in gravity cars, pulling each other up and down by their own weight. Just now, as Mr. Hill goes down Mr. Cleveland is going up. It is not from any virtue of bis own that the ex-president rises in the favor of his party. He is no stronger, and, indeed, not as strong as he was when he was defeated in 1888, but the demerits of Mr. Hill, the load he took on himself when he stole the senate and proceeded to grasp at the presidency by the methods of a ward politician, has sent his car of hopes rapidly downward and forced Mr. Cleveland's uwpards. For a time it looked as if Mr. Cleveland had gone out of sight. They balanced each other and it did not seem possible that either could reach the prize. Now, as Mr. Hill disappears, Mr. Cleveland's nomination looks very possible if not probable. Should that be the case he will not be a dangerous candidate. The theory on which he was before defeated, has now become a demonstrated fact, showing that the people did not err when they decided against the doctrine for which he stood. He would not be as strong a candidate in 1892 as he was in 1888. LADIES I!1 The undersigned wishes to notify the ladles of McHenry and vicinity that she has secured the services of Miss Carrie Wait as Dressmaker and Milliner. Many will remember her »s being so long with Mrs. S. Col.yer, of Elgin, formerly of Mo- Henry. With the valuable assistance of Miss Wait I will guarantee perfect satis­ faction both in dress- maling and Mil­ linery. A trial is all we ask. Look out next week for op pnaal opening announcement. MBS. BESLEY. HARVARD. C/ H. Donnelly, of Woodstock, was transacting business here last Thursday. Hunt, Helm & Manley have the founda­ tion ot their mammoth warehouse nearly l.tid. This lirin are rapidly forging to the front. John Marshall has been very sick for the past week, but at present is slightly better. J. W. Oroesbeck and Milo Manger have returned from Springfield, where they went to attend a meeting of the G. A. R. John will be around all rijiht in a few days. * John Qnigly has resigned his position as night Policeman and Wm. Nolan will take his place. Both good men. At the township election held here last Saturday, every candidate backed by the Williams crowd was defeated nearly two to one. "The perpetual candidate" him­ self did not take the trouble to vote. We wonder why. The school election which occurs the 16 th of this month iB causing consider­ able excitement here. One ticket reads, For President of the board of Education, L. A. Gardner. For members of the same Robt. J. Marshall, and J. Logue. This ticket was nominated by the men who have the best interests of the Public School at heart. The other ticket nomi­ nated themselves and is being boomed by Ai. Youug, Bob Hall and ten other women. And will receive about that many votes. We see by th« Harvard fferaJd that Williams beat Eldrodge at Richmond. We were not aware that Williams was ruriuing for office iu tb»t town, but are not at all surprised, as he is fast loose- ing his grip on the half dozen or more offices he holds here and as he seems to have a full grown hankering to hold any kind of an office, any where. We hope he won't move to Richmond and leave this town to its fate. It is rumored around town that J. E. Keelyn has disposed of his Electric light plant to some local parties hut we do not know to whom. Dr. and Mrs. Treate, of Sharon, are visiting Mrs Treate's parents, J. O. Lewis and wife, this week. City Superintendent of streets Chilson, has been doing work smoothing down the hubs and otherwise making the streets passable lately. Dave is a hust­ ler sure. Koland Reed is having built a fine residence in Harris addition. This will make Mr. Reed a grand home and add greatly to the appearance of that part of the city. W. H. Ballard is the builder. This city has a candidate for Coroner in the person of P. W. Blanchard, and as the l)r. has such a cinch on the nomina­ tion it will not be out ,of place at this time to relate a little incident of his past life. At the breaking out of the Rebellion the doctor was located in Texas, where he was informed by some of the long haired chivalry of that state, that he could take his choice ol joining the Rebel forces or decorating a limb of the nearest tree. The doctor characteristically told them to go to , that land where demo­ cratic majorities largely prevail, and hurriedly selecting a fleet footed Broncho that stood conveniently near, mounted the same and started northward, singing as he went "We'r coming Father Abram" UA wiljo.V A l̂ine riror'- iu nnf in, jf itiUJj the way that road "flowed" under the flying feet of the doctor's mustang. Horse and man soon reached a place oi safety. From there he went to Wisconsin where he immediately enlisted and was sent to the front where his' father, two brothers and an uncle had already pro­ ceeded him, making five of one family who donned the blue in defense of their country. This is the kind of stock the future Coroner of Mc Henry County springs from. There is no record obtain­ able that states that any of the Blanchard family were skulking in Canada during those trying times. We will try and write up the record of another candi­ date for office from this part of the county later on. We are authoritatively informed that Eldredge will carry Alden by a very large majority over "Wantthe Earth" Williams notwithstanding the fact that "Friday" Hall and "Will-see-you:after-the-conven- tion" Lake are spending most of their time in that to be pittied town.
