Aguinaldo; "but, when it comes to the papers calling m» the Bryan of the Philippines, I feel like going back into the woods and living with the gorilla*!" , THE entertainment at Riverside Hall, oh Friday and Saturd 1v evenings, will be one of the most interesting ever held in this vilUg\ It is entirely by home talent and they p-opose to present something never before seen in this line. The proceeds will go for the benefit, of the Uaiveraatist Church and Sunday School. Be sure and attend. THERE is an item going the rounds of the press to the effect that the proper method tu keep app'e* in winter is to wrap them in newspapers so as to ex­ clude the air., The newspaper must be one on which the subscription has been paid, otherwive the dampness resulting from what "dew(' there is on it may cause the fruit to spoil. CONTRARY to the general impression a soldier on furlough is not compelled to wear his uniform, nor is he prohibited from engaging in any legitimate occupa­ tions he may chose. If a furl dighed sol­ dier wears his- uniform and stands around the down town corners, it is from choice purely. While on a furlough a private draws his regular pay $ 15.60 per month and $7.50 additioneS- ration^ money. • citizen I PROF. R. D. SCOTT will dose his first term of Singtng School, in this village, on Thursday evening of this week. His class was not as large as it should have been, but much interest w »s manifested and fine progress mat'e. He will com •sence bis second term next week, when is hoped he will secure a large class. A LEVEL-HEADED doctor says that if i people in general would only use a little hard sense thrre wouldn't be so many of tho«*e "bad colds" that we bear •bout. The preventive is to kesp the iotas of your feet, wrists and chest and neck protected and keep your tsouth shut. This is a simple remedy pad one that any one can procure. ^ _L •- WE learn that a prominent citizen ff the West Side has lost a Black Roostejr. Another prominent citizen informs that the first named was seen leaving ^it> barn with a bag that looked as thougl> it might have contained a chicken. \nocher rumor says that about tiip time one of l hose Porto Rican chickejns had an engagement and killed hisop^qn- ent. Put this and that together a^d what is the conclusion ? The questid^i now is where is that black rooster? Will somebody rise and explain ? N AN exchange very appropriately puts it in this way: "We are getting tired of thi» life insurance business. When a man dies nowadays the first question they ask is, 'Was be insured and for bo* much'? The papers also generally wind up the obituary notice with the total amount of insurance. Soon the obitu ary notices will read something like this: Frank Jones died and left a wife and two children, the loss fully covered by in eurance.' Or, if the deceased is not in­ sured it will read: 'John Smith is dead; he leaves a wife. Total loss; no insurance." The Thanksgiving Partlea. The Thanksgiving Parties, held in this village on Thursday evening last, were well attended and a good tiihe is re­ ported by all. At StcBel's Hall there were 135 couples in attendance, and a more pleasant and orderly party was never held in this village. The music by Baernstein's Orchettra, of Chicago, wan- pronounced by all present as the finest ever heard in this village, and the dai cers were loud in its praise. It will be only necessary to announce Baern­ stein's Orchestra to secure a good at­ tendance at future parties. At the Fireman's dance, at Riverside Hall, they report 98 couples, aud also a pleasant and enjoyable time. THlt/ JOVIAL SOCIAL CLUB Will give the first of their series of Parties at Stoffel's Hall, on Wednesday evening, Dec. 7th, which yourself and lady are cordially invited to attend. Floor Managers--T. P. Walsh, Roy Colby, E. H. Dodge, Jos. Rainey, A. M. Brown, ft m. Thurlwell, Jr., £dwin Welsh Gus Walters. Music, Retd's Orchestra.

No paint* wil' be spared by the management to make each party a pleasant, social affair so that those who attend once are sure to come again. Bear in mind the date, Drcembar 7th, and be sure and attend the first party. MR. HORACE HURON, tt:e popular Reader, Humorist, Baujoist and Fun Maker of the Modern Woodmen of America, will giv * one of his unique .en­ tertainments, under the auspices of Pro­ gress Camp No. 229, M. W. A., at the City Hall, Woodstock, on Friday even­ ing, Dec. 2d, 1898. Mr. Huron comes highly recommended by both the public and the press, and those who wish to "laugh and grow fat" should not fail to hear him. The Kansas City papers have the followiug to say of him: One of the Horace Huron entertain­ ments and lectures on last Thursday evening was highly enjoyed by the large audience present. Huron again proved himself equal to almost anything, and gave recitations, bai»j'» soles, negro soegs and an eloqnent address^ with the same degree of excellence --Journal. The fact that the programme was fur­ nished by Horace Huron (the Kansas cyclone), is sufficient proof that it was highly erjoyed by the large audience present --Times, He is a whole show in himself. Elocu­ tionist, baD joist, character impersonator and lecturer, and seems to have the knack of doing it all well.--Star. A most enjoyable entertainment and a large and appreciative audience.-- World. Pureed, o v illes Kathrine Powers, aged 67 years. Deceased wig born in Ireland and came to this coiu.try many years ago. She first resided in New Yc^k where she was married to her late husband, James Pureed, »•!"> died about five years ago. From Neu Y.-.rk they came to Illinois, late in t!^ 50's, and settled in Lake county wLeie they lived until '78, when they movnl to their present home, south of McHemy. Mrs. Pmot ll was a kind-hearted, in­ dustrious «< man, and consequently had many friends among both t{ie old and young penplM of her acquaintance, as was attested by the large number who followed h< r remains to their final rest- incc place Her death was indeed a sad blow to her family and relatives who were sbock< i) to learn that she had been so suddenly summoned by the grim mes- scn<?er, to . hose call all most respond whether they are willing or not. The fuuen took place on Friday, at tbeCat :o!io church, Rev. Father O'Neill officiating. »ml after a few appropriate remarks the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at the church. The deceas­ ed leaves two sons,' John,'and Mike Pureed, one sister, Mrs. M. Welch, and one brother, Thos.' Powers, to moarn her lo9S. They have the sympathy of their friends in thus hour of affliction. A FRIEND. PROF. W. T.

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis­ tressed-looking people you so often meet are afflicted with "Kidney Complexion." Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion. • They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex­ haustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The'cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. Usually the sufferer from kidney dis­ ease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medi­ cine or a doctor until they find them­ selves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen their weak and diseased kidneys, purify their poisoned blood, clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy better health. You can get the regular siias at the drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar, or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root, by sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
