The night's unfatli- omed deep Rings back no answer, gives no glimmering key; „ " And still unknown, and beautiful, they keep The silent courses of Eternity. What are their memories of Creation's days. When startled Chaos* -from , its kingdom hurled, . First knew its Master, and with glad amaze They sang the birth-song of our trembling world? What have they looked on since, with patient eyes, While million years Miicounted rolled away? Who claims antiquity for man that dies, Before such records of the Past as they? Can they to man his mystery explain, The why, the whence, of his uncprtain state? Unlock the riddle that he reads in vain. And clear the tangled problem of his fate? Can they a fashion to the future give, And tell the whither of man's anxious quest? Make life a less than weariness to live, Or stay the hazard of his wild unrest? Oh Stars! wtiat midnight message do ye bear To. minds grown weary with the years' in­ crease? The wistful eyes that watch you shining there. Look out of troubled hearts that know not peace.--Once a Week. 85c, 35c, not 25c, not 50c, 35c, the price of Rocky Mountain Tea the world over. None genuine, unless made by the Madison Medicine Co.

As stated for the 12th time, it belongs to the people of McHenry county; they in particular are benefitted by it. To say we shall give it greater attention than ever before, is only stating what our duty is to the people who have selected the pres­ ent company to make it so. ^ We believe the program to be announced later will attract more attention than any in the past. We know it is stated it would be impossible to secure what we expect. This was said when Longstreet and others made their pil­ grimage to Woodstock. I never was more sure of filling the contract as stated in the papers in April than I am this year. Recent letters confirm that meeting and nothing but war can cheat us out of it. Rest assured I shall not advertise anything I am not absolutely confident of. We have started out to make the Fair of 1900 the climax in all its departments and attractions. We ask,the people to do their share and get all inter­ ested in its success, . ' The full program will be issued about Aug. 10. The leading features will be about as follows: Wednesday, Aug. 29. Prizes for babies will be offered (see posters). Children's day--All under 16 admitted free. Scholarships offered by Wheaton and Dixon colleges will be competed for. Write secretary for particulars. Thursday (Old Glory Day). _ The biggest day in the history of the Fair. Friday (Modern Woodmen Day.) Requested by them, in which every camp in the county and around will take part. A prize drill will be one of the features for moneyed premiums. The Slayton Jubilee quartet have been secured for three days of the Fair. They will nng in the grand stand each afternoon during tjie speed contests. This troupe has sung in many places in the county, and are well known as among the best. We want the fair of 1900 to go down as the greatest in the history of McHenry cour.ty. I believe I voice the sentiments of a very large number when I make this statement. Will it be unanimous? Think it over and decide that it will. Yours truly, A. S. WRIGHT, Secretary. WOODSTOCK. Horse sale Wednesday, Aug. 8. McHenry County Fair Aug. 28 to 81.
