BY a letter received by Dr. C. H. Fegers we learn that the Priest appointed for the new parish, in this village, is expect­ ed to arrive to-day, Wednesday. The remodeling of the building for the church will probably commence at once. AN exchange says that a man who is mean enough to beat a printer is mean enough to feed his family on dried apples for breakfast, let them drink water for dinner, and give them choice of what they want for supper. THE country is worse off for the strike, and it will hardly be claimed that organ­ ized labor is any better off. A strike gives smaller returns for what it costs than any other in vestment outside of the .green goods business / WE understand there is to be a match / game of base ball between the McHenry i and Cary nines, in the near future for a Sparse of $100. As both nines are confi­ dent a good game may be expected. The exact date will be announced in our next. , TRAMPS are becoming numerous. Not a day passes but someone enters the vil­ lage begging for something to eat, some being quite insolent in their demands. A good shot gun should be kept in a con­ venient place for these insulting vaga­ bonds. PRIVATES in the militia revived $2-per day for the first ten days service and at the rate of $13 per month thereafter. Captains receive $5.50 per day. There­ fore it pays to be a captain during a ten days strike when the state militia is call­ ed out. I Miss MCMANN has rented the rooms in fthe Pekovsky Block, two doors south of j the Post Office, which she has fitted up j in elegant style for her dress-making Ibijsintss. The rooms are pleasant, neat­ ly furnished and present a very inviting appearance. WE are still suffering in this section with hot, dry weather. We are a long . suffering people, but how patient we are j with the dust three inches thick and the ' thermometer 98 to 104 in the shade, is quite another thing. If you want to be­ come a subject for the coroner walk into the first business place you come to and ask if it's hot. It's sure death. PBBSONAX W. p.

SLADEand daughter, who have been visiting friends here the past week, went to Elgin on Monday morning, where they will remain for a week, or ten days and then return to their home~*t Lodi, Wis. ; :.r THE newspapers everywhere note the increase of cigarette smoking, particu­ larly among the boys. And y et the state law speaks decidedly against selling cig­ arettes to minors. The practice is an awful drain on the stamina of young manhood, and the results are fearful to contemplate. THE women up in Aurora are demand ing that bachelors shall be made as dis­ tinct from married men as maids are from married women. If a maid is to be called Miss a bachelor is to be called Master. This is reasonable enough. Most people are aware thqt a man ceases to be master when he marries. WHEN a newspaper man's attention is called to.some trivial error in bis paper, he takes it as meekly as *Moses, but should he respond in kind and point out the little mistakes,blunders or failures of bis neighbors, what a cyclone of wrath he would raise. WE learn that a man working for Ed. C. Howard, at the Howard House, Fox Lake, was accidentally drowned in the ^Lake, near that hotel, on Saturday last. lid not learn his name, only that he had relatives living in Chicago. The body was recovered and an inquest held by the Coroner, the Jury returning a verdict of accidental drowning. THE show of educated horses and dogs, wbich. will exhibit in this village on Fri­ day next, Aug. 3, afternoon and evening, promises to be one of the most interest­ ing tent shows that has visited this place for many a day. The tent will be located on the Herbes lot, southeast of the City Hall, and we can assure all who attend that it will be an entertainment well worth their patronage, REPORTS of the proceedingsnightly go­ ing on in the Public Park are of themost. disgraceful character and calls for • prompt attention from our authorities. The question is what is our Marshal do­ ing? ft i3 as plainly his duty to see that order and decency prevail in the park as upon the streets, and when it gets so bad that respectable ladies dare not enter the park during the evening it is tidie some­ thing was done. • JPROM a paper published at Canadian, ftocas, banded us by Mrs. LI C. Gates, we learn of tW death of Mrs. Mary A. xFay, wife of David Fay, which occurred / July 21st. Mrs. Fay was born at Ring- ( wood in 1849, and will no doubt be re- vjnaoitiered by many of onr older citizens. A husband and flve children survive her. A stroke of paralysis was the cause of •leedeath. V i ' £ FRED WEINLAND, the gentlemanly druggist, who has presided at the drug store of Miss J. A. Story, in this village, for the past two years and over, depart­ ed on Thursday last for Kankakee, where he has accepted a more lucrative posi­ tion. During their residence here, he and his estimable wife have won many warm friends, who very much regret their deci­ sion to move from among us. As acare- ful and painstaking druggist he had few superiors, and as a genial, companiona­ ble fellow Fred stands at the top. The best wishes of a host of friends go with him and his to his new home. A bold insurance agent is going over the country swindling policy holders. His method is to find out in what com­ pany certain parties are insured, and go to them with the statement that the com­ pany which issued their policy is suspend­ ed, and that he has been employed to assist in adjusting their affairs. Be will take great pleasure in transferring their policy to a good reliable company, and in order to do this requires his victim to sign a slip of paper supposed to be a cer­ tificate of transfer, but in a short time it turns out to be a $35 note. IT may not be generally known that Uncle Sam prints one postage stamp which is not for sale, i. e., the second class matter stamp. This stamp new or canceled^ never passes out of the hands of the post office officials. Postage on newspapers and periodicals is prepaid by the pound in cash, and thereceivingclerk cancels these special stamps to the value of the postage thus prepaid, and forwards the canceled stamps to the department as vouchers. Devil's Lake. Excursion to this wonderful and mys­ terious lake Tuesday, Aug. 7. Round trip only $1.50. Leave McHenry on reg­ ular C. & N. W.

TAYLOR, at his warehouse, west of the depot, has just received a full line of the Kingman Safeties, to which he in­ vites the attention of the public. If you want a safety call and see me as I know I can meet your wants both in quality A BUNCH of sweet peas in each room,'re­ newed each day, will kill every fly in the house. They will stop to suck the deadly sweet dud topple over dead. They alight with their usual buzz, stop momentarily, quiver in the legs, flap their wings weak­ ly several times and give up the ghost. --Ex. " A GIRL'S taste differs according to age. At sixteen she wants a dude with tooth­ pick shoes attd a microscope moustache; at twenty a chief justice with a pile of tin; at tW&Oty-flve she'll be satisfied with a member of congress; at thirty a country dpctor or a preacher will do; and at thirty-five anything that wears pants, from an editor down. OUR horsemen were treated to some fine sport at the Richmond Driving Park on Saturday last, the occasion being a match race between "Blucher," driven by Frank Smith, of Richmond, and "Ben H," driven by Geo. G, Smith, of this vil­ lage. The stakes were $50 a side, and the race was won by "Ben H" after five closely contested heats. Best time 2:35. "Ben H" is five years old and is by "George 0." SAM JONES, during a sermon at Rock- ford the other night, gave the residents of that city the following hard shot: "If any man in Rockford gets to heaven you'd have to sleep with yonr breeches under your pillow. Take some of tfiese old'tight fisted skinflint devils and put 'em in heaven and there'd have to be a policemen on every corner to keep them from chipping the corners off from the golden streets." THE gardens about town are making a slim showing this year. The May frosts, two or three of them, nipped them, and as soon as the stuff began to grow again along came the drouth and the fierce sun, baking the ground. This combination has proved too much for the garden sass. The early potatoes rollout mighty small, the string beans are few and tough, the sweet corn will not amount to much and the cucumber vines are all dried up. Grape vines appear to stand it. . Grapes will ripen early. "IF people would just remember that flour would extinguish blazing gasoline, the knowledge would be inestimable," said a man of the house to-day. "Sun­ day the tank of onr gasoline stove was blazing. Wet rags were used without effect when 1 remembered that I had read that flour would extinguish the blaze. A handful did almost put it out and another snuffed it completely. It would be a good idea to paste this up, so that in an emergency it might save both life and property." PETER M. MILLER and F. W. Rinn, practical upholsterers, of Chicago, are now at the Riverside House, in this vil­ lage, prepared to do upholstering and re­ pairing of fine furniture in the best of manner, at reasonable rates and guaran­ tee satisfaction. They would refer to John I. Story, of the Riverside House, for whom they have been doing a large amount of work in the past few weeks. If in need of first class work in this line call on them at the building one door north of the Riverside House, or at the hotel. THE Ringwood Cemetery Aid Society will meet with Mrs. R.

EVERYONE knows the capacity of a child for asking questions, but it is not every'one that recognizes that the child has any natural rights in the matter. A writer in an exchange says a child has a right to ask questions and to be fairly answered; not to be snubbed as if he was guilty of an impertinence, nor ignored as though his desires for information were of no consequence, nor misled as if it did not signify whether true or false impres­ sions were made upon his mind. He has a right to be taught everything he de­ sires to learn, and to be made certain when asked for information is withheld, that it ie only deferred till he is older and better prepared to receive it. An­ swering the child's questions is sowing the seeds of its future character. *Pirst Show of the Season in XoHenry. On Friday next the citizens of McHenry and surrounding country will have the opportunity of witnessing the finest ex- hibitioh of Educated horses and Trained Dogs ever seen in this county. Sixteen wonderful Broncho Horses, trained and Disciplined by Prof. Buckley, and ac­ knowledged to be the best educated horses on earth. Their equals do not exist. This, together with Prof. Fryer's Troupe of Educated Dogs, forms one of the most refined, unique and elevating entertainmentr ever giver under canvass. Do not fail to go and see it. Afternoon performance at 2 o'clock. Evening per­ formance at 7:30. Remember the date, Friday, August 3d, at McHenry. VIEWS OF THE WORLD'S FAIR AND MIDWAY PLAISANCE. The illustrations speak for themselves as to their quality. Accompanying each is just what the reader wants in a brief description telling what the illustration is and what it means. The views are not bound together carlessly but are arrang­ ed in groups, making convenient refer­ ence. Nothing like the present book, showing graphically the World's Fair as it was, has heretofore been given to the public, and the publishers rel/ for its popularity solely on its merits. The re­ tail price of the' book is 50 cents. We will present this book to our customers entirely free with every $5 worth of trade or to induce more active sales on our Best on Record Flour, one book with five sacks Flour at $1 per sack ~ iom J£VAK&O» 4 Co. ° WHITIXTQ-JIBRKER. The marriage of Miss Bell Whiting and Mr. J. Phillip Merker proved a pleasant oc­ casion. From^Iorty to fifty persons were present to witness the event, and numer­ ous letters of regret *era received from others who were unable to be present. It was said that there were seventy-fire invitations out. All who were present passed a pleasant evening, and seemed weteoiiie ti«? »i»»er init*the»«i«tiijr. Among the guests was an uncle of the bridegroom from his home in Belleville, and three of the bride's school friends from abroad. The bride was as pretty as ever, draped in white lace and white silk, and there was no disputing the fact that together they made a very handsome couple. Mr. Merker is a grad­ uate from the Normal School, at Nor­ mal, and it was here that the two first met and became acquainted. The ceremony was commenced by Mrs. Cristy playing a wedding march, after which the services proceeded in the usual way. Then came the refreshments in fine style, and the company broke up at from 10 to 11 o'clock. 'It must be told that they were made the recipients of valuable presents to carry with them to their home. Our Bell goes to Belleville, she to grace the town of 20,000 inhabitants, and he to take a position in the school of the place where he was born, and has always lived. May kindest regards fol­ low them wherever they shall be. A NEW notion somewhat in practice is to address and stamp envelopes on the back. With the address written across the folds it can readily be seen that any tampering with the contents of the envelope could be detected. Now if like the electric burgler mat, which on being stepped upon not only siks all the bellft in the house a-ringing, but also exposes the negative and takes a flash­ light picture of the rascal, identity could also be coupled with knowledge in the case of the letter opener, absolute safety in the transmission of mail missives would be secured. THE following receipe is valuable, ac­ cording to the Woman's World, for it is sure death to the carpet bug or Buffalo moth: One ounce of alum, one ounce of chloride zinc, three ounces of salt. Mix with two quarto of water and let it stand over night in a covered vessel. In the morning pour it into another vessel so that all sediment may be left behind. Dilute this with two quarts of water and apply by sprinkling the edges of the car­ pet for a distance of a foot from the wall. This is all that is necessary. They will leave boxes, beds and any other resort which has been sprinkled with the solu­ tion on the shortest possible notice, and nothing will be injured in texture or in color. Stake Baoe Bntrles.

The picnic at Crystal Lake last week Friday, under the auspices of the Pres­ byterian church of this city, was a most enjoyable affair, and was largely at­ tended. Work on S. E. Olmstead's house on Dean street is being pushed rapidly and it will be completed early in the fall when Mr. Olmstead and family will have as nice a residence as can be found in the city. The new McConnell house on South street is rapidly assuming massive pro­ portions, and judging from the size of the structure it will be one of the largest and handsomest residences in the city when completed. New street crossings have been put in by street superintendent Long and his assistant the past week which were badly needed and are a great improvement. The old pine planks were replaced by new oak which are heavier and last much longer.
