There is a fine crop of Canada thistles growing on tHe land between the creek and the power house which are going to seed. Would it not be a good plan to cut 'em down at once?

WILL CONSTRUCT WALKS SIDEWALK COMMITTEE LETS CONTRACT TO J. F. WISNER. Prtoe to be Eight Cents per Square Foot--Will be Put Down Where Most Needed. On Monday evening the sidewalk committee opened the bids of J. F. Wiener of Rockford and Win. Bell of Elgin and awarded the contract to the former gentleman, his bid being eight cents per square foot. Mr. Bell's bid was one-half cent higher. The walk will be constructed according to the Elgin and Rockford specifications, the same as last year. It has been decided to construct a walk from the corner opposite John Buch's place to the Rich­ mond road. It will be commenced on the south side of the street and will be switched over onto the north side some­ where near the brewery--just where it has not been fully decided at this writing. Also a walk will be laid on the north side of Wankegan street from the school house to the Park Hotel, to connect with the walk put down last year. The committee certainly showed sound judgement in locating a new walk along that street It will be 4£ feet wide. The spot in front of Robert Schiessle'B new building will also be filled. Several property owners on the west side of Green street, north from Elm, have offered to pay forty per cent of the cost if a new walk is laid there this year, they prefering to do this rather than wait another year or two. But at this time it is doubtful if all the property owners along the line will be willing to enter into the scheme. Let it be thoroughly understood that it is not a proposition made by the board, but by some of 'the property owners themselves. FATAL RUNAWAY. Frank Benehan Killed Near Last Friday, Orayalake NO MORE EIGHTH8 OF BEER. Government Will Discontinue Issuing Stamps for Eighth Barrels. 'form their duties welL Mr. Grot informs us that the govern­ ment will, in the course of a year or two, discontinue issuing revenue stamps for eighth barrels of beer. This ruling is due to the solicitations of the large brewers who claim that all beer sold in the small barrels is sold at a loss. The eighths are a convenient size for use in the house and many are retained by the purchaser, in other cases the kegs are emptied and thrown away or forgotten. In this manner the breweries have suf­ fered an enormous loss. The eighth kegs cost something over one dollar each. Grot & Damgard have nbt been heavy losers owing to the fact that their wagon is continually on the road and can pick np most of the kegs where the big manufacturers out of town IOBB them. Picuicera and campers will re­ gret this ruling, but there seems to be no way-out of it Owing to the fact that many breweries now have large quantities of eighths on hand the stamps may be issued up to 1904, but probably no later. Auction Bills. Those who contemplate selling their property at auction this fall should bear in mind that The Plaindealer has eyery facility for turning out the most attractive bills at the lowest prices. Bring in your list of articles and we will help you make out the bill. It costs no more to get an attractive bill than it does for one that can not be read without the aid of glasses. Good, substantial card board used--something that will stand the rain and snow. We also publish the entire list in The Plain- dealer free of charge. That is often worth more than the bills. Call and see samples of $mr work and get prices. A New Jersey Kdltor's TestimonlaL M. T. Lynch, Editor of the Phillips- burg, N. J.

Mr. Renehan attended the dance at Grayslake Thursday night and about midnight left for home with his hired man. He then started to return to the dance and about 4 "o'clock Friday morn­ ing his body was found by the side of the road near the Round Lake ice houses. The body was found by Dell Smith, an emplyee of the ice company. It was lying on its face against the fence, close to the entrance to the ice house. Mr. Smith immediately called Dr. Shaffer, who hurried to the scene. Medical aid was useless, however, an examination showing that Renehan had been killed instantly, having been dead for about two hours. His horses were found several miles from the scene. Frank Renehan was about 41 years old and was well liked by all who knew him. He was unmarried and lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Renehan. Besides the father and mother, one sister, Miss Kate and three brothers, Jason, Edward and George, survive him. Mr. Renehan was to enter into part­ nership with John Horcher in the threshing business Friday. The funeral was held Sunday at St. Patrick's church in this village, Rev. Fr. O'Neil officiating.

Kx- Total i..|828 56 The bids for sidewalks were read. J. F. Wisner bid to do the work at eight cents per square foot. Wm. Bell's bid was eight and one-half cents per square foot. , On motion by Chapell seconded by Rothermel the bid of J. F. Wisner was accepted.

Jensen, fell in front of Smith's jewelry store and broke both bones in the forearm. He was taken to Dr. Wells' office and received immediate attention. It is just seven weeks ago that this little fellow broke the same arm while playing and had just re­ gained the use of it. He is surely hav­ ing his share of trouble. New Kleolrlc Bo ad. Wankegan has given the Wankegan Electric Light Co. a ten-year franchise to light the city, in consideration of which the company has guaranteed to construct an electiic road from Wan­ kegan to Fox Lake. Geo. A. Hunt is making preparations for the annual state fair and is desirous that the farmers should make an effort to help him in again capturing the blue vibbon. He is now working like a Trojan collecting material, but of course he must have assistance. Any person having good crops of any vege­ table. grain or fruit should select a few samples and leave them at this office or with H. C. Mead who is Mr. Hunt's McHenry representative. The articles exhibited at the fair will bear the farmer's name and the location of land where grown. Do not wait until the last day but look about now for speci­ mens. If apples are sent in, jetbout half a dozen should be selected and each wrapped separately in paper thus pre­ venting rotting or bruising. For full information see H. C. Mead or write to Geo. A. Hunt, Hebron, 111. The fair will be held September 29 and 80, Octo- ber 1, 8, 8 and 4. School Notes. School opened Monday morning with an enrollment of 184 pupils. Most of the grades being well filled, yet far from what we should have. There are many pupils not in attendance who completed the work last term in a manner credit­ able to any one. Quite a number of these have expressed themselves as anx­ ious to continue the school work. Can we not manage in some way to direct and encourage this noble ambition. We want that boy and girl in school. Let us think, sacrifice, act, that no influence will divert them from this greatest of all legacies^ Increase Over Last Year. The returns from the privilege de partment at the county iair show that the manager, H. C. Mead, has not been asleep during the past month. Last year he turned over $678 and the officials were highly elated over the re­ sults, but this year he went them near­ ly $100 better, turning over more than $750. If Mr. Mead continues to in­ crease the income so substantially each succeeding year he is liable to receive a life tenure of office. The McHenrv County Fair. A good delegation of McHenry people attended the McHenry county fair last week, despite the hot and dusty drive. The horse races were all that had been advertised and everyone seemed satis­ fied with that part of the fair. The exhibitions of live stock and produce, however, were very poor. A large crowd was in attendance each day. Thos, Bolger Hurt. Thos. Bolger, son of Walter Bolger, was thrown from a horse Tuesday night, sustaining severe injuries. Dr. Wells wes immediately called and made the sufferer as comfortable as possible. It was found that a shoulder blade was broken and the right wrist sprained. His face was also badly bruised. He will be laid np for some time. The Claoi Bake* It was a large, hungry crowd of people that partook of the good things at Ben Stilling's clam bake last Sun­ day. As usual there was nothing lack­ ing that pleases the inner man on such an occasion. The guests all received royal treatment. The McHenry band was present during the day. Concert. The young people of St. Peter's con­ gregation of Volo will give a concert in Stadtfield's hall at that place, for the benefit of the church, on the evening of Sept. 18. They may later on give one McHenry. Don't forget the date. Everybody is invited. £ Will Advertise for Bids. The Johnsburgh bridge committee will advertise for bids for filling in at the abutments, the contract to be let Saturday, Sept. 13. It is estimated that $18 yards of gravel will be required.

Another farm of 157 acres half a mile south of Sycamonfr, was sold tor $107 an acre. An exchange states that one of tfy; most remarkable cases ever tried in ttaj#% state was recently settled at Decatur* " A young man bought 2,000 cigars and had them insured for their full value, smoked them up and then demanded his insurance, claiming they had been destroyed by fire. The case was takev^ to court and the judge decided in favor* of the young man. The company then had the young man arrested for setting fire to his own property and the same judge ordered that he pay a fine and go to jail for three months. New Yaeht on Gogebic Lake.
