A cordial Invitation to alL WE have a request to make to those of our subscribers who are more or less in arrears on their subscriptions. It is not a very expensive request but if it is ac­ cepted and acted upon it will do a great deal of good to all parties interested. Our request is this: That each subscrib­ er send us one dollar (or more if they can) on account, for which due credit will be given and a receipt returned for the same. One dollar is but a small sum to each individual but in the aggregate we would have a snug little sum to put where it would do the most good. Don't hesitate to start the big silver dollar rolling our way; we want it. We only ask what is our due. How mqpy will respond in the next week?

SUTTON, aged about 25 years, youngest son of Philip Sutton, of this village, died in Chicago on Saturday last and his remains were brought here on the Sunday evening train, and the funeral took place from the Irish Catholic Church on Monday, /tie had been sick for nearly a year and therefore his death was not entirely unexpected.

Society SOOTT HARRISON, Sec. THE record of more than a score of years is broken; the pride of the Chicago Newspaper Union is humbled. It has always been the boast of this house that it could furnish anything in the line of ready prints that might be called for, but the othfr day an order was received for "hard-shell Baptist insides." We have "insides" for soft shell crabs or clams, but when it comes to hard shell Baptists we draw the line. Our digestive machin­ ery is not equal to the emergency.-- Newspaper Union. A FIRM in Ohio, the Christy KnHe Co., of Fremont, are offering a nine hundred dollar Steinway Grand Piano to the per­ son sending the largest amount of cash for their goods before December31,1894. A chance to get a Steinway Grand Piano is something unusual. Our young peo­ ple ought to take advantage of it. Any number df families would be glad to help them win the prize. The Christy Knife is a good thing and everybody wants it. A letter addressed to the Christy Knife Co., Fremont, O'uio, will bring an answer im­ mediately ,j5iving4ul^ HARD times affects all clasees of busi ness, but none suffers more than the newspaper business. The merchant can turn off his clerks, reduce his stock, quit buying goods, etc., but the publisher is expected to get out as large a paper as usual, pay his bills right along whether anybody advertises or pays his sub­ scription or not. When people are only buying such as they absolutely need to ltfe, remember that if you have a dollar or two in your pocket belonging to some publisher whose paper you have been reading at his expense, he too, may need a little bacon grease to keep the press running.--#*.

Card of Thaski, The German Catholic Congregation of McHenry wish in this public manner to tender their thanks for the liberal sup­ port which made their picnic the grand event of the season.

Jt was the general impression that the committee having the picnic in charge carried out the advertised programme in an unexceptionable manner. There was ono omission, and this was some of the speakers being absent, and this the following letters will fully explain! CHICAGO, III , Aug. 29,1894. DR. C, H. FEGERS, McHenry, III. Dear Sir:--Upon my return from Wash­ ington I found your kind invitation to your picnic on August 25th. I regret very much that I was not in the city tb have enjoyed a day's outing with you> Nothing, I can assure you, wouid ham given me greater pleasure. Thanking you for your invitation, I am, Yours, WASHINGTON HEBING, Postmaster. CHICAGO, Aug. 20,1894. C. H. FEGERS, M. D. My Dear Friend;--Your very'kind in­ vitation received, and in reply regret to say, that it will be impossible for me to be present, owing to a previous engage­ ment on next Saturday, and again, I have to go to a picnic on Sunday at Des- plain^s Grove, to the Independent Order of Forresters, of which 1 am a member. Hoping that your pi$pic will* be a grand success, and wishing that this wiH find you and your good lady in good health. Believe me, Very Truly Yours, i'RANK LAWLER. The committee informs us that in set­ tling up the picnic matters they find that the proceeds will net them the hand­ some of about fl,200. The society is to be congratulated On this grand suc­ cess. •11 Must Kesiatsr. The new law, now in force in Illinois requires that all voters must register every two years. * Heretofore it was necessary to register only in presidential years. Now every voter who expects to cast his ballot at the November election must register. \ There are only two days on whiJh the voter can register. • Every voter should bear this in mind. The registration days are in October. It will not do for voters to think that the registration of 1892 will be sufficient this year. The law requires that voters register now and hereafter before every congress­ ional election. This rule applies to all. There are no exceptions. Every legal voter must register in October. T Kohl A Kiddleton's Dime Kmlun For thirteen years Messrs Kohl & Mid- dleton have been the recognized leaders among American museum managers, and they are the pioneers, in the western country at least, in presenting that now most popular form of entertainment, known as the dime niuseutu. The regu­ lar season at both of their unrivaled Chi­ cago houses will be inaugurated the first week in September. It will be the four­ teenth season of the favorite Clark Street Museum, and the fourth of the State Street Ulobe, located near Van Buren street, which has become one of the most popular of Chicago's amusement resorts. As in the past one may always expect to see the best at all times and the indorse­ ment of Kohl & Middleton will always be a guaranty that advertised attractions will be shown just as announced. No­ body who visits either of Kohl & Middle- ton's museums gioes away disappointed or displeased. During the summer months both houses have been thoroughly renovated and redecorated; many improvements have been made and no more inviting places of amusement can be found in the city of Chicago. The museums are con­ ducted on a plan of scrupulous and vigi­ lant regard for morality and propriety, as well as variety and general excellence of entertainment, and no theatre, even of the highest clans, could be more carefully conducted. For the ensuing season the management announces the engagement of all the leading curiositiesof the known world. Active agents have been busily engaged for months, both in this country and Europe, and have engaged the most wonderful living freaks of nature, and the most coveted prizes of whatsoever nature, animate or inanimate, of the hu­ man race or the animal kingdom. It is safe to say, judgiatr from the enviable reputation the firm of Kohl & Middleton has made in past years, that visitors to the city can find no more enjoyable or profitable manner of passing a leisure hour, or more, than by attending either, or both of their justly popular places of amusement. The cost is merely nominal as a dime admits one to all four fioors. filled with their interesting collections of rare and curious objects, besides tw<o en­ joyable stage performances in the bijou theatres. * A CHICAGO LADY Writes:--Gents: Received yours of the 6th and was very much surprised. I must say, however, I cannot praise Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin enough. For the past six months I have been troubled with gastric dyspepsia and indigestion. I could not eat or sleep with any comfort and was really dead for want of food and rest. I tried may kinds of medicines, but none helped me until my husband brought home a bottle x>f your Syrup Pepsin. After taking a few doses I felt better, and using it two weeks now I can eat anything and go to bed and sleep, where before I could not, and life seems now worth living.
