A LITTLE crowd was discussing the subject of making small savings of money and how much it would-amount to in time. "Well, a person doesn'tknow how money will accumulate," remarked one of the party, "until you have tried it. Now I've a little boy, just got pants on him, and I have been in the habit ever atnee he was real small of giving him a penny or a nickle every once in a while to {rat in his bank and do you know the •other day I figured up his bank account and he has f 140."

TAYLOR, the Gold Cure Specialist, of Woodstock, will be at the Riverside Hotel, McHenry, Saturday, Sept. 15, to consult with persons desiring, to take his treatment for opium, mor-t phine and alcoholic diseases. He guar* an tees a cure and is highly recommended by well known citizens of Illinois. THE newest idea in society is the "sur­ prise" wedding. Invitations are sent out for a dinner party, and when dinner is over the parson is introduced, in "a few well-chosen words," the bridegroom takes his guests into his confidence, the bride blushingly takes her place and the marriage is solemnized without further ceremony. A GAME of base ball was advertised to take place on the Driving Park on Fri­ day last between the McHenry and Cary Nines. Well it came off--or rather part of it did. Cary, 16; McHenry, 0. There were two causes for this. First, McHenry had only a picked up nine and second Cary rung in a professional pitcher, which badly demoralized said pick-ups. "FAUBOURG," the fine young trotting stallion, owned by C. A. Walsh, of Elgin, made a grand showing at the White­ water, Wisv, races last week, winning a hot six heat race, taking the last three heats in 2:25%, 2,27% and 2:29. "Fau­ bourg" is five hears old, a son of "Acolyte" and promises to show a fast gait in the near future. His owner has just cause to feel proud of his perform­ ance. i : ONE of the most severe storms kno for years visited this part of the State ob Friday night last, but fortunately McHenry was not in the line of its d structive path. At Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Huntley and other parts of th< county buildings were unroofed, stock killed and other damage done. It was indeed a fearful night, and tbestorm was watched with a good deal of anxiety by most ofojHLcitizens. ^ iJnly •1 .50 the round trip to Chicago, by special fast train, Tuesday, Sept. 18.

IN the Rockford Star of Aug. 31 we find the following: Miss Nettie Wallis was united in mar­ riage to Horace Bill, of Chicago, at the residence ot her parents, 1036 Benton street. The ceremony took place at 6:30 o'clock and was performed by Rev. D. B Cheney, of West Sujwrior, an uncle of the bride. The relatives of the parties only were present. After the ceremony a wed cling supper was served, and at 7:42 Mr and Mrs. Hill took the train for Chicago where they will make their home. The bride is a well known and attractive young lady and has many friends who hope her matrimonial venture will be happy one. Mr. Hill is employed in the wholesale department of Marshall Field & Co., and is well spoken of by those who know him. Horace Hill is a son of Capt. Walter Hill, and is well and favorably known ill this village and vicinity. FIRE AT TERRA OO'LTA. / The Terra Cotta Works of W. D. Gates, four miles south of this village, were totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday af- ternoon. An oil pipe burst, scattering the crude oil in every direction, and the workmen had barely time to escape from the buildings. We have not learned the exact loss but it is variously estimated at from f100,000 to $150,000, on which we understand there was no insurance. FOREMOST among the new and pleas­ ing songs of the day is a darky melody entitled "De World am a Rushin." The words of this song, so clearly destined to popularity, are by Mrs. M. A. Crosby, now of Chicago, but formerly of Elgin and Woodstock. Mrs. Crosby is the wife of the well known lawyer, Frank Crosby, and was engaged in educational work, as principle of the Woodstock School, for two years. The song mentioned is writ­ ten as a soprano solo, with a four part chorus, and is also printed with eight orchestra parts. It is full of the weird melody so characteristic of the South­ land people, and the words are such as could be written by one only who had lived among the negroes and felt the in­ spiration of their religious music. Both the vocal and orchestral pieces may be obtained of M. A. CROSBY, Publisher. 36 LaSalle, St., Chicago. READ the new advertisments of Simon Stoffel, John Evanson & Co. and Theo. F. Swan, to be found in this paper. THE excursion to Lake Geneva on Sat­ urday will be one of the pleasantest of the season. Do not fail to go. NUNDA. • The long drouth is broken.

Barnes is for the prosecution and Frank Spitzer for the defendent. Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Powell's twenty- fifth anniversary was celebrated at their residence, at Cary, last Wednesday even­ ing. A large circle of friends, the Nunda Post and W. R. C. were present. A num­ ber of benutiful prewntn were made which were highly appreciated by Mr. and Mrs. Powell. A very enjovble time was had. and at a late hour the party dispersed, all feeling that they had passed a pleas­ ant evening and had passed another green spot in life. A serious railroad accident occurred between Barricgton and Cary last Sun­ day night. As the St. Paul limited, which leaves Chicago at 6:30 p. M. and is due at Crystal Lake at 7:53, was run­ ning at a rapid rate about a mile north of Harrington, it ran into three cars of coal, standing on the main track. It is not knonn how the coal care got there, but it is supposed that the stroBg wind which accompanied the storm that even­ ing must have blown them off the siding, and as it was very dark and raining hard they were not seen by anyone. The eneineer jumped and was not seriously injured. The fireman was caught under the engine as it went over and was killed. The baggageman was quite badly hurt and a few of the passengers were shaken up but not seriously hurt. J. ,1. Wilson, of Chicago, was on the train but received no injury. The most severe wind and thunder storm ever known in this section occur­ red last Friday night. A number of barns were blown dowu on the south prairie, between Crystal Lake and Hunt­ ley. Wind mills were broken down and houses unroofed. Two farmers, Pat Gannon and Mr. Kostigan had several hpflfl of trillosing eight or nine horses and Mr. Gannon a number of cows. The barns were new having been built only one and two years. Messrs. Buhe, Kostigan and Schroeder were without insurance so that the loss falls quite heavily on them. Messrs. Woods and Gannon carried in­ surance on their stock and barns. The track of the storm was about one mile in width and in the line of the storm for­ est trees, orchards, hay ptacks and buildings were blown down, chimneys blown off, corn that had been cut and in the shock blown down and scattered broadcast over the fields. C. P. Barnes' buildings, on the Jas. Smith farm", were pretty badly wrecked. Sam Price lost nine or ten cows by the timbers falling on them. WOODSTOCK. Miss Jule Kelley visited Elgin cm Sat­ urday.

The Issue Accepted. Mr. Cleveland's proclamation ot a re­ newed tariff war receives general and warm approval from the Democratic press. It is evident that Democracy is 'not satisfied with the "reform" already effected, and that the party programme embraces further and more radical legislation away from th^ protective policy. Considering this outlook it is well to remember, first, that tariff agitation and legislation in favor of home industries never paralyzed business or closed work­ shops; and second, that the rule of a party committed to anti-protective legis­ lation has always worked great injury to commercial and productive enterprisas. It will therefore be well, in the renewal of the tariff battle, for protectionists to be on hand in full force. We think the people will do this. They are in no mood for further steps toward free trade. They are aroused to the importance of stand­ ing up for their industries. The gauge of battle laid down by Mr. Cleveland and his party is accepted. Re­ publicans will be in the field and full of fight. They will have the people with them in their championship of American prosperity. The free trade agitators must be met, beaten back and over­ whelmed. 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. 1 could uofc eat or sieep 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 of 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.

Schrader, on his experience in the Phillips, Wis., ire, was listened to by a large audience, who found his discriptionof the incidents of the fire interesting. After the lecture a collection was taken for the reverend gentleman. The "St. Paul Limited." which passes through this city at 7:55 p M., was wrecked near Barrington last Sunday evening in a collision with some coal cars left standing on the main track, and the fireman was instantly killed. The train was badly wrecked, and some of the pas­ sengers considerably bruised, but none seriously injured. Frank Hanaford took a contract of grading and graveling a mile of road from C. M. Hughes'corner north to poor farm, in Hartland township, on Thursday last. Mr. Hanaford fully understands road work, having had long experience, and will give the people a road to be proud of. T. J. Dacy gave an exhibition of the Deering co»n harvester and binder in a corn field near the Fair grounds last Fri­ day afternoon which was witnessed by a large crowd of farmers and some of our people. The machine worked to perfec­ tion, cutting and tying the corn just as a binder does small grain, and accomplish­ ed the work with remarkable speed. It .is a great labor saving machine which every farmer should have. One of the worst rain and wind storms ever experienced in this vicinity passed over this city Friday evening. The ra'n commenced at about 5:30 p. M and con­ tinued until about3:30 A. M. The streets were filled with water and the gutters and sewers were unable to carry it off so that basements and cellars were flooded. At about 8:'i0 a veritable cyclone struck the city, unroofing the Hoy block, I. A. Austin's livery stable, and the main building of the Woodstock Brewery. The Baptist church steeple was also blown down, while shade trees in all parts of the city were blown down, in some in­ stances being torn out by the roots. It was the worst storm ever seen in this section. GRAND SOCIAL DANCE. & grand Social Dance will be given at sHenry House Hall, McHenry, 111., Mc Friday evening, Sept. 14.
