FULLER'S regiment of vol­ unteers, the one recruited in Lake, Boone and McHenry counties is "disbanded They were never mustered into service, but enlisted regularly and met for drill, putting in several weeks in that way. The regiment has for a long time been anxiously waiting a call from the gover­ nor but the closing of the war ends their hopes, hence they were disbanded last ^reek., - .. / The Races at the Richmond Driving / Park, on Friday and Saturday last, were | well attended and were of the most in- \jfcerresting character. Each Race was closely contested, and with one excep­ tion we think were trotted for blood. But little interest can be taken in a race where one horse is being held to allow a slower horse to win. It should be the duty of the Judges in every such case to rule both horse and driver off the track. E. A. jJATTINGER, of Ottawa, III., is getting up a souvenir of the 3rd Illinois Vol. Infantry.

AN exheange says it costs the Price baking powder company something like $500,000 annually for advertising. Someone once suggested to the company that it discontinue advertising one year, the baking powder was so well known and advertised, and place that amount $500,000. in the profits. The answer was that it would probably cost the company three times that amount to get the product in its original channels again. This is a pretty good pointer to these bnsiness men who imagine they are making a great saving when they discontinue a |4 or f6 a month adver­ tisement a few months in dull season.

M., struck and in­ stantly killed Mrs. Jeremaiah M. Car­ penter yesterday forenoon. The acci­ dent occured at the crossing near Jas. Cassell's place one mile south of town, wrs. Carpenter had gone to the Cas- seii farm to get some milk and eggs and had started home with the provisions. When she came to the railway crossing it it is reported that a gravel train was going south and she stepped off of one track onto the other, not noticing the approach of the passenger train on the north bound track until it was too late. The pilot of the engine struck the unfor­ tunate woman in the left side, crushing in her ribs and breaking both of her legs. She was thrown about five rods from the point of collision. Mrs. Carpenter was 56 years of age. She leaves an aged husband and eight children in deep sor­ row over her sudden and shocking death MR. AND MRS. R. D. SCOTT have the agency for McHenry County, of Murat Halstead's new war book, "Our Country in War and its relations with all nations from its early history down to the sur­ render of Santiago." Murat Halstead being the official historian of the War Department, this History is the only re­ liable and absolutely correct official account of the War with Spain that will ever be published. It contains 600 pages of new clear type on superfine book paper with 100 illuminated illustrations, photos, engravings and maps with battleships, battlefields, fortresses,coast defences, naval and land engagements, Dewey, Schley, Sampson, Miies, MeKialeyf and his Cabinet with brief sketches of their lives and in fact all the political and military characters that have had to do with our nations leading events from Major Geo. Washington, of Colonial times, down to the destruction of Cer- veras fleet, the triumphal closing of the War and the signing of peace ne­ gotiations with Spain. Call on Mr. wad Mrs. Scott for a copy of this Prince of good books. A BROTHER editor of the Plainfield En­ terprise hangs hie harp on the willow tree, runs his fingers through his hair and wails the following dirge: "Great Scott, but news (is are) scarce! If some­ thing don't turn up pretty soon we shall be tempted to endeavor to scare out a few elopers and start them on the lope. Joliet reporters have worked up ten col­ umns the past week on two elopements, neither of which proved to be elopements, in fact. The result is a lot of racy read­ ing, happy reporters and no one par­ ticularly hurt. To be sure, one fellow cut his throat as a consequence of ope of the articles, but he will recover, and ttoat furnishes two columns more. Ob, that somebody about Plainfield would begin to act suspicions like. If some man and some other man's wife would only leave town on the same train it would be a slight clue and furnish at least a clue, confpund the blasted luck they don't do it. They go in different direc­ tions or leave town on foot. Really, matters are getting serious." Bear Pointer, Tha World's fastest Horse On August 18, at Joliet, III., Star Pointer paced a mile in 1:59%, lowering the Ingalis track record of 2:02%, made two years ago by Joe Patchen. It pro­ bably was the greatest achievement of the noted pacer. The track was esti­ mated to be at least a second slow, and a chilly wind swept across the course. Despite these infavorable conditions Star Pointer came within a quarter of a second of equaling his world's record of 1:59% made twice under conditions ab­ solutely perfect. As it was, he paced the fastest mile ever made in Illinois, and the third fastest in the world, the others also being made by himself. - THE true story of those 278 days of suffering by Greely's heroic little band of exploreres in the Arctic region has been told by General Greely himself, for the first time, for the October Ladies Home Journal. For years General Greely has kept an unbroken silence about his fear­ ful experience and that of his compan­ ions, as they dropped dead one by one at his side, and it was only after the great­ est persuasion that the famous explorer was induced to write the story.

The finder will confer a favor on the owner by leav- lao ^MtnA nf fhSfl OfiLfiSa On Monday morning our little village was stirred to its utmost depth, and grief and sorrow was depicted on every countenance. The morning papers bfought the sad news that James Ai 4'erry, youngest son of James B. Perry of this village, had died on board a hos­ pital ship on his way home from San­ tiago, and that he had been buried at Wa. 'it fifstpit did not seem possible ,Rthat this eould be true, but later the facts as stated were- corroborated by a dispatch received from the surgeon of the vessel on which he died, malarial fever and dysentery, we* believe, being the cause of hie death. James A. Perry was one of McHenry's brightest and most honored young men, and his sudden and unexpected taking Off is a sad blow to his doting parents, brother and sisters. He was a young man whom to know was to honor and respect, and this entire community mourn with his bereaved family. James A. Perry was born in McHenry, ^111., June 19th, 1874. He attended school here and at Woodstock until about 1892, after which he attended the University of Illinois at Champaign, for three years, and having decided to take up law as a profession, he then entered the Northwestern University College of Law at Chicago, from which he graduated with high honors in June, 1897, and was immediately admitted to the bar. In August of the same year he entered the employ of the firm of Bald­ win & Baldwin, attorneys, Chicago. Fop a year previous to his being admitted to the bar, and while attending college, be was in the office of Knight & Brown, 100 Washington street, Chicago. / At the breaking out of the war with Spain he was one of the first to offer his services, enlisting as a private in Com­ pany A, First Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and went with them to Cuba, serving ^rith his regiment in the siege which re- Julted in the capture of Santiago and the estruction of the Spanish fleet. As the result of this hard campaign and the debilitating climate of Cuba, he con­ tracted malarial fever and dysentery, and together with about two hundred more sick was put on board the hospital ship "Olivette" and started for home. But, as near as can be learned, he grad­ ually grew worse, and on the morning of August 20th, on the bosom of the ocean, far froffiffpme and frieads, his bright young life went out and his body was consigned to the ocean.) Thus are the ambitions oT ydtrtft, tfa^ hopes of early manhood and the patriotism of the hour at once blotted out by the grim messenger --death. While death is sad in any form it is doubly so when far from home and friends, with no loving hands to sooth the feverish brow. No wonder the grief- stricken ones at home are now almost heart-broken. The last time he was at home was at Easter when he mentioned that hs thought of enlisting, and while his parents did not really oppose it they advised him not to do so, as they already had one son, Lieut. H. R. Perry, of the Seventeenth United States Regulars, in -the field. He agreed to take the matter under advisement, and the follow­ ing manly letter shows his decision. CHICAGO. ILLINOJH. 1 April 25, 1898./ DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER.-- Contrary to your advice I have ei listed in Co. A 1st I. N. G. I Shall'be board the cars for Springfield, 111., this reaches you. We expect* tp camp there 2 or 3 weeks. I may have done wrong in going against your advice. I may have done wrong in not letting you know it till now. If in either 1 have it is because I erred in judgment. I have done what I thought was right. Somebody must go. Why not 17 There is no one depending upon me for support. If 1 do not come back I will not be missed. The world will go on as before. I do not think as some of my friends by way of flattery would have me, that my life is morO . valuable than others; that 1 would" render a greater service to the country by staying at home. It is not for me to say that there is no need of ray going: that the ranks will be full without me. Suppose everyone said that Do not think that I have no regard for your feelintrs for the fact is otherwise. That you would worry is the only thing that ever made me hesitate au instant. Could I rest assured that my action caused no pain at home I could go with a light heart and so could a 100,000 others who also have parent® who will also worry. But you will say that "two sons is more than our share." I do not see how that Howard's station in life affects my duty. You will not be twic? as anxious over two as one. I have laid the matter be­ fore Jesse A. Baldwin. They have„.re leased me from my contract. I will leate my things in care of Mme. Rounsiville, (3120 Groveland Ave) I wish you would get them and take them home. The key of my trunk I will leave in my room or with Mme. Rounsiville. My room rent is paid till May 5, 1898, in­ clusive. There will be lots of fine fellows in my company. High, son of James L. High, of my Law School Class is going. Good Bye.

JUST a little dollar on its mission sent, makes a lot of people glad each time the CDin is spent. You pay it to the butcher for meat to give you strength, he pays it to the grocer from whom it goes at length, some pretty bit of cloth or lace his better half to buy, or help to get her summer hat to make her rival sigh, fhe dry goods man sends on the coin to pay his market bill and though the coin is often spent it stays a dollar still, and every time its spent at home, some act of good is done in booming local indus­ tries, ere setting of the sun. But if you break the local chain, the chances are that from afar t'will not return again. If once it passes out of town, the butcher and the baker, the grocer and the dry good man, the cook, the undertaker, the carpenter, the carriage wright, the blaksmith, everyone will lose tke chance to touch the coin ere setting of the sun. Just keep the coin at home, just keep it moving well, and every time it changes hands, everybody's goods 'twill sell. That single little dollar has thus a wonderous power to make somebody better a doiuB times uu hour, It pays the bill and wards off ill, and ne'er its power relaxes, to sooth the doctor, buy the coal, pay for the bread and taxes.-- Exchange. f Hanly Bros.

Among the privates in .our volunteer army can be found the rich and the poor, and a representation of every walk, in life. There is not a trade or profession without a substan­ tial showing in the ranks and in the offi­ cial line common sense and manhood are blended nicely. The present volunteer force is sufficient evidence that the teach­ ings of Washington were not in vain, and that the American i* not degener­ ating. The American volunteers have always been the finest soldiers in the world. When. Gen. Scott captured the city of Mexico, l.e wanted some people who krifew how io set type, and hearing that a company from New Orleans had some printers in it, the general visited the company and explained his need of printers, and requested every man who knew how to set type to step three paces to the front and every man in the com­ pany stepped out. In every regiment in our late war could be found men who could send telegraphic dispatches, build and run. locomotives, run steamboats, operate mills, build bridges, or 4p Any­ thing on earth that men could do. Our volunteer army is not a machine like the standing armies of Europe. It is made up of the educated, most intelligent, active, earnest young men of the land, who have been engaged in every calling; snch an ariny is invincible, as the world has foun^ but upon every battle-field where American volunteers have fought On sea and on land the American volun­ teers are the finest soldiers in the world. --Exchange.
