It is said to be one of the finest instruments in town. BEAR in mind the Washington's Birth­ day Party, at the Riverside House, on Wednesday evening af next week, the aad. A CHICAGO preacher has made the dis­ covery that the devil lurks in the editor's inkstand. Well, that's a devil of a place to lurk. W hy don't be try the mucilage bottle? ,, THE next Social by the ladies of the Universalist Society will be held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hanly, on Friday evening of this week, Feb. 17th. All are cordially invited. WE were pained to learn on Tuesday morning that Chas. Morse, son of C. C. Morse, of Gray's Lake, and a former typo in this office, was dead. We have not learned further particular*. NEW advertisements can be found in our columns this week from A. P. Baer, John J. Miller, John Evanson & Co., West McHenry, and Wm. Bacon, Mc- Henry. Bead them all. PABST BREWING COMPART, of Milwau­ kee, have been awarded over all compet­ itors the sole right to sell their beer in all buildings erected for the World's Fair. So says a telegram und$r date of February 10th. As will be seen by his advertisement in another column, Dr. D. O. Fruth will visit McHenry, and can be found at the Riverside House Saturday, March 11, from 10 o'clock A. M. to 3 p. M. Those wishing to consult Mm should bear this in mind. THERE is considerable truth in the observation of an exchange that people generally push a man the way he makes np his mind to go. If going up they push him up; if going down they push him down--gravitation making the speed greater on the decline. AN exchange truly says: Farmers will spend a day at some convention de­ nouncing the railways for charging them two cents for carrying them a mile in two minutes, and say not a word about the awful condition of the roads that makes it cost them |2 to transport a load over a mile an hour. A MAN who does not advertise his stock, is like the pretty girl that wears a veil and winks at the boys. She knows when she winks but the boys don't know it. A man who does not advertise, knows that he has a good stock of goods, but the people at large do not know it. F. K. GRANGER shipped from this ^station on Monday two cars of hogs, for which he paid the handsome sum of $2,400. He paid to one farrnerf244.92, another $357.80, to another |453.90, and to another $407.16, and the balance in smaller sums. The prices paid per idred were from $7.80 to $8.35. Who •ays that hog isn't Kins: this year. THE. stealthy approach of the hoop ekirt horror, says an exchange, fills the public mind with more grave apprehen eion than the threatened advent of the cholera. Strange that After learning to Attire her body most gracefully and tastefully, coy and uncertain woman should want to go back to the dark D.E. BAYLOR had taken forty-seven orders for the "Arnold" Automatic Steam Cooker up to Monday noon of this week. As we said last week this is the best article for the housewife ever in- Tented and no family will be without one -who have used it once. They are not »only labor saving but all steam and amell is eradicated from the house, be­ sides your vegetables and meats are cooked much better. Do not fail to ex­ amine one when Mr. Say lor calls, and if jou do you will be sure to give him your PACIU B>DT>, of Chicago, was visiting Ms parents here one day last week. / E.

OWEN, of Chicago, has been spending a weeks vacation in this village and vicinity. J AS. B.

OWEN, Secretary. •-WBjearn tba/a son of Harry Dunnill, at Fox Lake, had the misfortune to shoot himself through the hand with a revolver, on Friday last. Dr Fegers was called, but have not learned how serious was t^e wound. / ABOUT one hundred couples attended /the Masquerade, at the McHenry House, on Monday evening and all report a wy enjoyable time. Everything passed offlirffie most quiet and orderly manner, and mine host Heimer left nothing un­ done that would tend to thecomfort and pleasure of his guests. The muBic was good, the snpper excellent, and the party a grand success generally. mE understand the Northwestern Rail­ road will put nn the River this spring a splendid new Passenger Steamer, to play between this place and Fox Lake, She 'will be large enough to carry 75 or 1*00 passengers and will be able to make the trip to the Lakes in forty-five minutes ^MsissoQiething that has long been need­ ed. With good steamboat facilities the trade from Chicago to the Lakes is sure to come this way. | ON Wednesday evening of next week will take place the Annual Washington's Birthday Party, at that popular dancing resort, the Riverside House, in this vil­ lage, and it goes without saying that fcbefe will be a good crowd and an enjoy­ able time. Slocum's Full Orchestra will furnish the music, which fact will draw out the dancing public.. Remember Wednesday evening of next week is the day. , As will be seen by an advertisement in another column the firm of E. M. Owen & feon have sold their Agricultural business to Wm. Bacon, of Lake County, who will hereafter conduct the same at the Ware­ house formerly occupied by said firm. Mr. Bacon comes highly recommended as a young business man, and as he will devote his entire time to the business, and keep the brat machinery to be found in the market, he flatters himself that he can offer inducements to the farmers second to none in the county. He intends keeping his stock complete in all branch­ es and invites iarmers to call and sec him hen in town.] Bead his advertisement. THE number of hotel projects, for which shares are being sold to persons who wish to get accommodations at the World's Fair, is legion. Half of them will turn out swindles. Circulars are sent out containing a cut of quite a fine looking building, and the public invited to take shares a $10 each, to be redeemed in board and lodging during the Fair at a specified rate, which is put rather low, no doubt to induce sales of the stock to economically minded persona. Some of thase hotels projects may be all right, but the safest way for a person to do is to pay for his board and lodging when he gets it.--Ex. *1 ATTRIBUTE my success in life," said Mr Huntington recently, "to the fact that I never "formed the habit of watch­ ing clocks. As a boy on a farm I can remember that the men were always on the lookout to see if it was not time to quit. The man who works with his eye on the clock to make sure that he will not work over time will never attain success. I have never paid any attention to clocks. If I had anything to do I did it. Show me the man who watches clocks and I will show you a failure; show me the man who ignores them and 1 will bet that. he has been succesf ul. I have sometimes thought it would be a good thing to abolish clocks altogether AN exchange says that the law con­ cerning stray animals is not as well known as it should be. If you take up a stray animal you must, within ten days give notice to your township clerk, who must make an entry of the same; then you advertise the animal in your local •paper, and sixty days after such adver­ tisement has appeared, you apply to a justice of the peace to sell the animal He issues a warrant to the constable, who gives ten days notice by posters and sells it, and you get your pay for ex­ penses. The penalty for taking a stray animal and not giving notice is $5 and besides this the owner can come upon y®uj» place and' take it awry without paying you anything. Sweet breath, sweet stomach, sweet temper, all result from the use of De- Witt's Little Early Risers, the famous A. Story. Fatroni of Xadaatry. The Bepubtican teftfs us that the annual meeting of the Patrons of Industry of McHenry county was held at Marengo on Saturday, Jan. 29, and that nineteen of the twenty-one associations in the county were represented bo delegates.

They drew good crowds both evenings, and they all took their parts well. Algonquin has the talent for a first class entertain­ ments, and we have one of the finest Halls and Stage Scenery that there is in this section of the country, and we see no reason why we should not have many more entertainments in the near future.

He was buried in the family burying grovutd^^n the old farm. I,:- NT7NDA BUBXNKRS KIM. In our brief notice last week of a few of the business firms located on the south side we omitted to mention W. T. Pal­ mer's meat market, kept in the base­ ment of O. C. Colby's new building. Palmer not only keeps everything in the meat line, from the tender, jucy steak to the lour inch gambol joint soup bone, but he his one of the most efficient sales­ men and meat cutters in the Northwest. If you don't know what you want he will tell you. In the same block you will find the old reliable market formerly owned and conducted by E. I). Williams, but now managed by P. England, who also keeps a market on the north side. Mr. England has been engaged in the busi­ ness for a number of years and under­ stands well the tastes and wants of this community. Here also you can secure anything in the meat line from a choice roast to a bologna sausage. Just around the corner, on Railroad street, north of Barney & Co.'s hardware you will find the very popular barber shop of W. E. Prickett, who will give you as smooth a shave or as neat a hair cut as you can get anywhere. Don't fail to give him a call if you have time to wait for your turn. Just north of the barber shop is the government building, where the post office is kept and presided over by the very efficient postmistress, Miss Thomas; Located on this street and north of post office is the blacksmith shop of Henry & Laning, doing a good business. The senior member of this firm can give you more information about duck shoot­ ing, fishing, rowing a boat and buffalo hunting than any other man in town. _ Z. H. Osmun, one of the leading mer­ chants of Nunda, who bought out Mr. Brooks about 1885, (and occupied the building now occupied by D. L. Barney) built last year a fine two story brick build! og, 40x80 feet, located on the east side of Williams street, opposite (i. A. R. Hall. Mr. Osmun has been in business here for the past eight years and has learned the wants and tastes of the peo­ ple. He carries an extensivestock of dry goods and notions. You can purchase almost any article manufactured His stock consists of everything found in a general store, and if you do call for an article not in stock the obliging proprie­ tor will get it for you. At this house as well as others already mentioned one will meet with that genial business way so pleasant and agreeable to everyone hav­ ing occasion to do business with any merchant. Mr. Osmun is a very pleasant gentleman and employs as agreeable and efficient clerks us any house in the county. Adjoining the Osmwn store, on the south, is the extensive furniture and un­ dertakers store of J. L. Conover, who carries a fine stock of furniture of the moBt modern style, and sells at prices that surprises everybody, which accounts for the large business done. North of Osmun's is Richmond's har­ ness shop, where can be found a large stock of harnesses, blankets, robes, and everything kept in afirstclass stock. Al­ so repairing done on short notice. Next to the harness shop, on Williams street, stands the Richmond Honse, a three story frame building, built by C. E. Warner in 1870, and conducted by him until 1873 when Geo. Hyatt bought and run it, with the exception of two years, until 1890, when Mr. Richmond purchas­ ed the property and it i^ now conducted by him as the Richmond House, where the weary traveler can find rest Mr. and Mrs. Richmond understand conduct­ ing a hotel and always treat their guests with the very best of everything. On the south side of the railroad is also the flour and feed houses of two firms, J Goodwin & Sons and Whyte & Son, both doing a large business and both are re­ liable business firms. They also carry a good stock of lumber, all of which is sold at bed rock prices. And one wanting anything in their line will no doubt find it to their advantage to call on them be- fore purchasing. There are other business firms here that we shall mmttan in the near future. V OSTCND There was a large atfeiHianoe at the P. of .1. meeting on Saturday evening last, and alt were highly interested with the proceedings. Hon. Geo. Waits, of Lake County, was present and delivered an able and eloquent address appropriate to the occasion. The P. of I., on account of lack of time, did not install the new officers on Satur­ day evening last, but the installation will positively take place on Saturday evening of this week, when all the newly elected officers are requested to be present. Robt. Richardson had a runaway last week. No damage done. Dr. Fegers was seen on our street last week, and called at the residence of Warren Thomas.

He finds that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is reliable. It opens the secretions, relieves the lungs and restores the system to a healthy condition.
