There are new trains on and several im­ portant changes which the traveling pub­ lic should post themselves on. Read it carefully then cut it out and paste it in your hat. IF our readers notice any lack of news in our paper this week ^hey will please bear with us, as we labored most of last week with broken machinery, and this week are moving our office, consequently have not had time to give our paper the attention it deserves. Next week we shall get in shape to attend to the wants of our readers. AN Arkansas editor has let hi mself loose in this fashioiH^You may hive all the stars in a nail keg, bang the ocean on a. rail fence to dry, put the sky in a gourd to soak, unbuckle the belly-band of eter­ nity, let out the sun and moon, but never delude yourself with the idea that you can esoape the place on the other side of purgatory unless you pay the printer." OUR citizens were shocked on Saturday morning last to learn of tfte sndden death of Miss Mary Curtis, youngest daughter of Chas. B. Curtis, of Elgin, formerly of this village, which occurred at West Point, N. Y„ whither she had gone to attend the graduating exercises at the West Point Military Academy. At this writing we have not learned fur­ ther particulars, but will probably be able to give them to .our readers next week. j BRADFORD SMITH, who lives just north of this village, has a very fine young Morgan stallion, that is admired by all lovers of a good horse. "'Billy S" was three years old in May, is a bright bay, jec black mane and tail, 15% hands high and for style and action, in or out of harness, is hard to beat. He shows the Morgan blood way back, and is one of the most promising young horses in this section. Lovers of a good horse should call at Mr. Smith's stable and see him. COUNTERFEITS of the World's Fair souv­ enir half dollars are said to be in the market already, and as they are made of coin silver they are not easy to detect It is said they are a trifle, light in weight and a shade smaller in circumference than the genuine, whieh however, only appears when they are stacked up together. In the words "Columbian Half Dollar" the D is not quite perfect and the medallion head of Columbus leans a little to the right. As it takes about .30 cents of silver to make one, and their market value is a dollar, their manufacture leave a good margin of profit. As the coin bears no mint mark it is comparatively easy to counterfeit. Men's fine laundried shirts, blue and white stripe, f 1 each at Evanson's. ua.

His trouble has been rheumatism, and he has commenced a new course of treatment with the most gratifying results. His many friends hope he may continue to improve and soon be able to be again on our streets. THE " Time-Saver" is a guide to the World's Fair that deserves its name. It names and locates 5,000 of the most interesting things on the Exposition grounds, grading them according to their importance. No other guide does this. The visitor who uses a "Time- Saver" can see the Fair in one-third of the time usually occupied and find with*- out difficulty everything he wants to see. An encyclopedia of World's Fair inform­ ation that can be carried in your vest pocket. Compiled by a newspaper man, who inspected every exhibit oit^the grounds. Not sold on the Exposition grounds; but nothing sold there will take its place. Ask your newsdealer for it, or send 25 cents to W. E. Hamilton, Room 12, No. 282 South Clark St., Chicago. THE following from the Minneapolis, Minn., Times, of June 8th, will explain itself: The marriage of Miss Carrie Belle Fales to Dr. Frederick E. Pilcher, of McHenry, 111., was fittingly solemnized last evening at the residence of the bride's bryther and sister, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Tidd, 323 Twelfth avenue southeast. About 40 friends assembled to witness the cere­ mony and were received by Mr. and Mrs. Tidd and Mrs. C. B. Fales, mother of the bride. Simplicity characterized the cere­ mony. As the wedding march was play­ ed on the piano by Miss Susie Coates,the bridal couple entered the parlor unat­ tended. The service was impressively read by the father of the trroom, Rev. Pilcber, of Portage, ft'is. The bride was attired in a princess gown of cream landsdowne with garniture of lace, and carried a bouquet of white carnations. An evening of informal pleasure followed the wedding. Mrs. H. E. Sloane enter- taiued the company with a solo and Mrs. Pilcber, mother of the groom, gave a dramatic reading. Light refreshments were served at small tables. The rooms were bright with cut flowers and potted plants. Dr. and Mrs. Pilcher will leave tonightfor their future home in McHenry. THERE will be a grand Picnic, at J. Myer'a Grove, Johnsburgh, 111.. Tuesday, July 4th, 1893. Dancing from 2 p. M. until next morning. Music by Noonan's Full Orchestra. Supper at 6 o'clock. Refreshments of all kinds to be bad on the grounds. Grand display of Fire­ works in the evening. Nothing will be left andoiw.to make it pleasant for all. GEO. NELL, Proprietor. Pwttayid ty Hnud Again at Work The Price Baking Powder Company, of Chicago, which is known throughout the country, for the superior excellence of its Baking Powder, met wite a serious loss on the morning of May 18th, in the near­ ly total destruction by fire of it factory and office. No sooner had the flames been subdued than the work of restoration com menced, and the Company by prudent foresight, having had stored in outside ware houses duplicate machinery, labels and supplies of raw materials in prepara­ tion for any emergency was enabled by energetic management to resumed man­ ufacturing within a very few days after the fire, there-by causing its customers but a trifling delay would required montns of time to get new machinery. It is now forty years since the goods manufactured by this company were first placed on the market, to Dr. Price being due the distinction of having prepar­ ed the first can of Cream of Tartar Bak­ ing Powder ever manufactured in any country. It was a great discovery, super­ seding as it did the old method of using cream of Tartar and soda separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with which the biscuit of early days was embittered. The Price Company has no connection with any other baking powder company or manufacturers, notwithstanding representations to the contrary made by other manufacturers whose sole aim is to deceive the public and borrow the good name and fame acquired by the Price Cream Baking Powder, which is known all oyer the world as the purest, "most perfect made." SOME Washington lawyers know agood deal about pensions. That is a compli­ cated subject, and a man who is familiar nith it has no time to be very expert in anything else. Some other lawyers are well acquainted with patents, but know nothing about pensions. Others know something of the land laws, but are in­ nocent of ideas concerning pensions and patents. The Press Claims Company can handle every class of claims against the Govern­ ment with equal facility. It has at its command a staff of legal specialists so large that it is able to intrust every case to an attorney who is familiar with its peculiar needs. If you are a soldier en­ titled to a pension, or the widow or de­ pendent relative of such a soldier, if you are an inventor desiring protection for your ideas, if yoa are a settler anxious to perfect your title to your land, if you are a sufferer from Indian depredations in short, if you have rights of any de­ scription requiring the action of any de­ partment of the Government, your best plan is to write to the Press Claims Com­ pany, G18 FSt., N. W., Washington, D. C., and find out what to do. The com­ pany charges nothidg for information and advice. That Old Faithful Hen. Of robin, and blue-bird and linnet, spring poets write page after page; their praises are sounded each minute by prophet, soothsayer and sage; but not since the stars sang together, not since the creation of men, has anyone drawn a ^oosefeather in praise of the patient Old hen. All honor and praise to the singing that cheers up the wildwood in spring; the old recollections of bringing joy, child­ hood and that sortof thing; but dearer to me than the twitter of robin or mar­ tin or wren, is that motherly cluck when a litter of chickens surrounds the old hen. And her midwinter cackle, how cheery, above the new nest she has made; it notifies hearts all a-weary, another fresh egg has been laid; and when the old bird waxes heavy and aged and lazy and fat, well cooked with light dumplings and gravy, there's great consolation in that. Old Settlers' Picmio. The annual meeting of the old settlers of Elgin and vicinity is to be held at the grounds of the Elgin Packing Co. Satur­ day, June 17,1893, This is to lie a bas­ ket picnic and all persons in Fox river valley axe invited to be present. A separate table and refreshments will be provided for all persons over 70 years of age, who will send their names before June 15 to the undersigned. * O. DAVIDSON. Chairman of Refreshment Committee.

The matter of a fire department is be­ ing talked up by the citizens of Nnnda. We believe there is no great need of very extensive outlay for that purpose just now. / The remains Of Mrs. Smith' arrived here Wednesday morning and the funeral service was held Thursday at 2 o'clock. H. C. Smith, of Brooklyn, ahd T. B. Smith, sons of the deceased were present. Henry Keller was quite badly hurt last Thursday by being thrown out of his buggy. As the funeral procession of Mrs. L. L. Smith was on its way from the church to the cemetery it stopped suddenly and the team ahead of Mr. Keller commenced to back and struck his horse which shied suddenly and tip­ ped over the carriage and threw him and his daughter out, he striking on his face. It is thought the injuries he received are not dangerous. Notice to the Fublie. It is with great pleasure we inform yotl of the sale of Dr. Weinberg's painless method of extracting, filling and treating teeth to Dr. F. C. Colby, one of the lead- ing dentists of the state of Illinois, and as he has been studying Dr. Weinberg's method for the last three months, it has enabled him to perform all operations in the dental profession without the least particje of pain, the same as Dr. Wein­ berg has been doing heretofore in this county, as the following named citizens will testify: WOODSTOCK. Mrs. D. Charles, Miss Anna Lorden, Mrs. McCarthy, Mrs. C. Merois, Mrs. Stupfel, Frank Rowe, Mrs. Hiligar, Mrs. Blakeslee, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. D. Glass, Mrs. Ira Phillips, Aaron Rowe, Miss Anna Price, Miss Minnie Abraham, Mrs. Dygert, Mrs. Richton, Mrs. J. Dorty, Mrs. Toles, Mrs. Walkington,Mrs. Mans­ field, Mrs. Roe, E. Johnston, Mns. Arm­ strong, John Munshaw, 'Bert Munshaw, Frank Dike,'.Mrs. Goodwin, MissTheressa Short, Miss Julia Short, No doubt the people of Woodstock and its surrouudings greet this item of news with great pleasure, and can now rest assured that, no matter how difficult may be their work or how nervous the person, they can come to Dr. Colby and have their work done without any pain whatever in the best possible way. What Dr. Weinberg has to say for the benefit of the public of Woodstock and its surrounding country: I wish to state that this 25th of May, 1893, I sold the right of McHenry county of my method known as Dr. Weinberg's painless meth­ od of extracting, filling and treating teeth, and that I bear all confidence in Dr. Colby, as he has been under my in­ structions for the past three months and can consequently recommend him to all my patients. Also in the sale I have made a condition for Dr. Colby to dis­ count my receipts at 25 cents on the dol­ lar, and hope every one of my patients will have Dr. Colby do their work. Dr. N. WEINBERG.

Story. a M|Ua Somtajr Law The Belgian postoffice is abont to issue What is called a special Snnday stamp. It will be a 10-centime (2-cent) stamp and at one end will have a little flap. This can be torn off or left intact at the user's will and will carry in French and Dutch these words: "Ne pas livres le dimanche," "Nict bestellen op sontag," which means in English, "The postman is not to deliver on Sunday the letter bearing this stamp." This novelty is intended to start a popular agitation against Sunday gov­ ernment work in Belgium, which is to be stopped if possible in the future. It is said that a large number of people will post letters unnecessarily on Sun­ day mornings in order to give expression to their sentiments. It will be interesting to hear how many of these stamps are used.--Cour- rier des Etats-Unis. A State Without a Militia. Delaware will soon be without a state militia. This condition of affairs has its origin in the adverse action of the state legislature as to an appropriation needed for the support of the national guard in that diminutive but prosperous com­ monwealth. As soon as the legislature defeated the uiilitia bill every officer and enlisted man in the admirable and well disciplined little force voted to dis­ band, and they are now engaged in car­ rying their convictions to a conclusion that is, while personally creditable, most discreditable to Delaware. It may even prove to be dangerously inconvenient, for the posse comitatus is not the power it once was and, in fact, can but rarely be assembled, much less depended upon. --Washington Star. . I Notice to Horsmen! I have reduced the services of George O., 2:21 % (sire of five from 2:18% to 2:29% last year) from f 75 to $50 for the season. I have thought a long while be­ fore I concluded to do this, as the record he has and the producer he has proven himself to be, from all classes of mares, from Normans to standard producers, had made me think that f 7 5 was cheap enough, but to benefit some that would not breed otherwise I reduced his fee. have now over 30 booked to George 0, and have bred 27. I calculate he will serve 75 mares in 1893, and look for him to put several more in the list this year. A pacer in 2:10 or better and a three- year-old better than '30, all in hot races. I pay no attention to what my com­ petitors may say in their flying posters to achieve a reputation, as 1 have lots of George O colts that can go faster than such. I am satisfied that George O is the greatest producer ever produced or brought into Northern Illinois and some day you will all want a George O. colt.
