O. RUPP. ®T'^. Yj:'. IMPROVEMENT INTRORUCBD. Occasionally in the history of a news­ paper there comes a time when the man­ ager sees where an improvement can be made in the publication of the journal. Such a time bas arrived in the PLAIN- DEALER officer* Having come to the con­ clusion that we could make a change whereby our constituents would be greatly benefitted, it was our duty to do so at once at our earliest convenience. All our arrangements being made, the PLAINDEALER appears this week in its improved condition. This inaugurated improvement we de­ sire to explain fully to our readers. With this issue the PLAINDEALER is all printed at home. For over eighteen yeaft this paper has been known as a "ready print" or "patent inside." That is, one half of the paper was already printed when it reached the newspaper office in this vil­ lage. We have now relegated the ready print to the memories of the past, and in the future the PLAINDEALER will be printed at our own estableehment. Although the readers of this paper have always received full value for their subscription money, we are now in a po­ sition where we can give them better ser­ vice still. As we, under the present plan, control all our readiog matter, we can cater to the tastes of those who peruse oar columns. Articles pertaining to fash- . ions and the culinary art will be publish - ^ ed for the ladies; topics of interest to our agricultural friends will be discussed; r stories for the yonng will find their way * Into the paper; and miscellaneous litera­ ture for all ages and classes'will be in serted. Our telegraph service will be •especially improved, as the news of the world, which we will publish, will cover all the leading happenings nearly np to s the time of going to press. In short, the all home print plan gives us the oppor­ tunity to more easily please onr friends. We pledge our word that we will avail ourself of the convenient instrument thus placed in our hands. | . The ready-print carried four columns ol medical advertisements in its inside pages. This matter is no longer in our columns. Of course our Own foreign ad vertisements will be inserted as usual, but there are now four columns less of this kind of advertising in the PLAIN DEALER than heretofore. This is a fiery pleasant feature of the change. I'p to the present time we have been jfibliged to run our advertisements on four pages. Thus often our pages have been overcrowded. Now we are able to . divide the advertisements among the it fight pages of the paper. This style will cordially welcomed by our advertisers end will be hailed with delight by our jr*aders» % If there are any of our readers who think that the change which we are in- ^ troducing will decrease the expense of . publishing this paper, let such persons at . mice dismiss this idea from their minds. ; The adoption of the all-horre print in- % rolves a decided increase ?e expense 1ST The World's Fair authorities had quite a clever scheme on foot to continue the Fair next year. The {.Ian as outlin­ ed by some of the officers was to hold an American Fair at Jackson Park next year. But the South Park commission­ ers had a word to say in the matter and they have said it. To the query "May Jackson Park be used for an American Fair?" they replied emphatically "No." So the World's Fair buildings will have to be moved from their present location by May 1, 1804. The course of the South Park commissioners please* us very well. We do not believe that a Fair next year would be for the best interests of the people of this section. It would help Chicago but it would be detrimen­ tal to the outside cities and towns of Illinois. The World's Fair has been a great success and we are proud of it; but we are glad it is about to end, for we think it is high time that money should cease to flow from the rural districts into the coffers of the metropolis. From a careful estimate we draw the conclusion that the people of this village and vicin­ ity have spent from the first of May to the present time, through the instrumen­ tality of the Fair, $50,000 That is a big pile of money. The amount is a good sized fortune; it is equal to the capital stock of an ordinary National bank; it would pay for 700 acres of land in this section; it would buy 80,000 bushels of wheat. No one should, it is true, regret having spent money at the Fair. Every person who attended the exposition re­ ceived fall value for the money expended. Bat it is now time to call ahalt. Enough money has been taken from this vicinity the past six months; let the money spent in the future be circulated at homo. iSf The Woodstock Sentinel scouts the idea that a fair could be successfully con­ ducted in this village, and gives express­ ion to the following words: "The Mc- Henry PLAINDEALER last wiek contained an editorial urging theestablishmentofa union fair in that village. We doubt whether such an institution could be made a financial success in our sister vil­ lage. Marengo tried it for several years nod finally bad to 'throw up the sponge.' One fair is about all Mclleory county can snpport, arid it has not done that in good shape until the last few years." Now the fact that the running of fairs in other towns in the county bas been up­ hill business is no argument whatever. This village has one great advantage over the other town referred to; its loca­ tion is superlative. The fair that we aro advocating is not to be for McBenry county alone. It would, if established, be a district fair, a fair for McHcnry and Lake counties. As such it would be larger and grander and more successful than any county fair in Northern Illinois. We would no doubt encounter opposi­ tion from some quarters, bat not from people located within the territory com­ prised by the proposed fair. Opposition, if it comes at all, will arise from jealous rivals. Such opposition should and would add to the success of the district fair proposed by the PLAINDEALEB. N^Tbis is the time wh«n the ice man swings out and the coal man swings in. "Who will light the fire?" is again one of the burning questions of the day. MP" A generous man is Qen. Russell A Alger.

Many a woman is conse­ quently sad and melancholy over the cruel ravages of Jack Frost. U#*Columbian stamps are w issued by the post office department. During the brief life of these stamps it was found that too much licking was required. • 19*Now and then you hear some one say: "The Fair will be kept open after the 31st of October." We do not look at it in that light. The Fair Will close it­ self, or, rather, the cold weather will doit. HfWho says that there is a shortage in the money market? There is plenty of money, but np to the present writing it bas gone to the World's Fair. When the Fair closes money will be freely cir­ culated in this section. 1ST*Cardinal James Gibbons has com­ pleted a quarter of a century of service in his high office for the Catholic church. Thesilver anniversary of his elevation was celebrated with great pomp, at Bal­ timore, on Wednesday. "Senator Shelby M. Cullora grows more and more like Abraham Lincoln in personal appearance," says the Harvard Independent. "Singularly enough Mr. Cullom was born in Kentucky, and took up the practice of law in Springfield, III., a«* Lincoln did." True enough thus far; but here the comparison ends. Mr The death of John Baptist McMa- hon, which occurred only a few days ago, has removed a historic character from earthly scenes. The deceased was field marshal Of France during the Franco- Prussian war, and later served the new republic as president with distinguished ability. . tQT Another forward march bas been made in the world of electricity. Dr. Franz Fullner, of Chicago, has discovered a method of generating electric force by a simple battery, at one third the ordi­ nary expense. A stock company, with a capital of $5,000,000 will push the enterprise. 19" The Waukegan Patriot gives fairs the following dig: "The McHenry PLAINDEALER is out in a long editorial for a union fair to be held at that place by the people living tributary to it in McHenry and Lake counties. We admire your energy Brother Rurp, but you might as well know that county fairs are played out. Who will care a cent for them hereafter who\has Seen much of the great World's Fair? Waukegan stopped holding fairs years ago and other places might as well do the same. They are not successes any more." You are off, my friend; you are away off. The World's Fair has been a great educator, and peo­ ple will patronize fairs more than ever in the future. Of course th^ will have no use for small county fairs, but a big union fair as ours will be, will always at­ tract large crowds. The able and upright Judge Gary, of Chicago, is a candidate for re-election. Gary is the man who presided at the trial of the bloodthirsty anarchists several years ago. Of course every anarchist in Chicago will vote against him. This fact alone ought to re-elect Judge Gary with a handsome majority. ISF What horrible fellows these Wis­ consin men aro. A citizen of our neigh­ boring state recently sold his wife to an old bachelor for ten dollars in money of the realm. It is stated that the ex-hus­ band and his successor in connubial bliss were both well pleased with the trade. What were the feelings of the Woman de­ ponent sayeth not. The village of Mctiewry needs electric lights. This improvement would add beauty to the town, would make the people more comfortable, and would increase the business of the merchants. With our streets lighted by electricity the humorjof the men would be better, the smiles of the women would be sweeter, and the prattle of the children would be merrier. Electric lights cannotcome too soon. "Is he alive or is he dead?" is a question that many Denver people are asking in regard to Dr. Graves, the fa­ mous defendent in the Barnaby poison­ ing case. Some time ago the death of the doctor was announced, and what was supposed to be the physician's body was laid in a grave. Now 'tis alleged that what was buried was no human body at all, but merely a log. This charge is fol lowed up by the statement that the doc­ tor is alive, well, and at large. «T The political pot in McHenry county has already commenced boiling. Candidates for offices are beginning to loom up. Supervisor Richards, of Seneca and Supervisor Roshton, of Alden, are mentioned in connection with the county clerkship. Geo. Eckert, who served a term as sheriff, has whispered to some of his friends that he would like the sams office again. There will probably be some pretty lively times before the plums are distributed next year. Let the merry war go on and may ths best men win. Mg^The great and Only Billy Nye thus defines a newspaper: "It is a library. It is ah encyclopedia, a poem, a history, a dictionary, a time table, a romance, a guide, a political resume, a ground plan of the civilized world, a low priced mul- tum in parvo. It is a sermon, a song, a circus, an obituary, a shipwreck, a symphony in cold lead, a medley in life and dp ith, and a grand aggregation of man's glory and shame. It is, in fact, a bird's-eye view of all the magnanimity and meanness, the joys and sorrows, births and deaths, the pride and poverty of the world--all for a few cents."

The Still city's application is really entitled to a great deal of consideration. The most successful state fairs held in Illinois were located in Peoria. We are not aole to explain why, butsomehow or other the fairs in Peoria have ever been money makers. In this respect the sec­ ond city of the commonwealth is always, in the language of the street urchin, "strictly in it." The state board of agriculture mignt choose another city and fare woiaw. Wa^The Belvidere Standard expatiates thus on hard times and the financial question: "Money got tight and was locked up. It is now said to be sobering up and going out to do its legitimate work in the commercial world. We can­ not expect the dollar to keep straight because it is round, but we surely thought it had cents enough to keep moving." Uncle Sam's dollars, brother, have enough cents, but the trouble rests with the dollars that have come to us from Canada and Mexico. They are the fellows that havn't oents enough. i ^ j . .

A young man, driven to despair by disappointment in love, com­ mitted suicide. He was a taxidermist; by profession, and among the animals in his establishment was a huge rattlesnake. When the dead body was discovered on a bed, the rattlesnake was coiled upon it. When the visitors approached the ser­ pent shook its rattles and started angrily for the intruders. When they retired the snake returned to the body, which it guarded with touching devotion until re» moved by the boy's father. 1 * ^ * , V " Repairing of all kinds promptly Attended to IS THE Tilt® TO BUT • Sewing Machine Only $5 a month until paid* HEAMIAN BROS. •r;s ' m. u to febme srasSK&rsirs est McHenry.
