Passed Away at His Home In this Village Last Friday. Elisha Hubbard died at his home in thiB village on Friday, Oct. 24, at 10:80 o'clock in the forenoon, after about two weeks' illness. Elisha Hubbard was born in Ashfield, Mass., Angus* 12, 1815. When he was ten years of age his parents moved to Bridgewater, New York, and from there they moved to West Winfield, then to Elgin, III. On June 28, 1846, Mr. Hubbard was married and settled on a 200 acre farm two and one-half miles west of Wauconda where he re­ sided up to about twenty-five vears ago when he moved to this village. Mr. Hubbard became totally blind twenty years ago. His wife, who survives him, was strioken with paralysis four years ago and is now nearly helpless. There are four sons living as follows: L. A., of McHenry; W. S., of Shannon City, Iowa; G. L., of Nunda; and Chas. B., of Independence, Iowa. The funeral was held at the house Sunday, October 26, and the interment took place at Wauconda. Murglar* at Nanda. The denizens of Nunda were awaken* ed at two o'clock last Friday morning by the report of several pistol shots, and upon investigation found that Policeman Andrew Henderson was after a brace of bold, bad burglara. The night before some suspicious looking characters had been seen prowling about the town and Henderson resolved to keep tab on them. At the time stated he caught the men in the act of gaining an An trance to Fry® & Senue's hardware store. Upon discovery they immediately took to their heels with the officer after them. Hendersen com­ manded them to halt and followed up the order with three shots from his re­ volver. The burglars responded in like manner and Henderson claims that about a dozen bullets fanned the air about his ears. None of the shots took effect however and the thieves escaped. Jos. Blake has four teams at work this week hauling moulding sand. He is shipping many car loads in the course of a week. At the pit he has construct­ ed an elevated platform to the top of which the scraper filled with sand is hauled by a team. There it is dumped through a hole in the platform into the wagon which stands below. It is a lab­ or saving contrivance and enables Mr. Blake to handle a larger amonnt of sand with less work than formerly.

W Besley. - Many New Buildings Put np During the Past Two Tears -Village has been In­ corporated. The writer called at Spring Grove last week and was agreeably surprised to find a thriving little village. Durinir the past two years there have been some wonderful changes made in the appear­ ance of that village. There has not been a headlong, speculative boom, characteristic of the western mining towns, but rather a steady and sure growth. The people are feeling their, way and every improvement made is of a substantial nature and bound to stick. Before the C. M. & St P. railroad was pnt through, Spring Grove, like all other inland villages, was without hopes of ever occupying a very large space on the map of Illinois. However, when the opportunity presented itself the cit­ izens were not slow in adapting them­ selves to the new conditions. If any person who has not been there for three or four years should visit the plrce now he would acknowledge the above state­ ments to be true. And now, that the citizens may work together more harmoniously for the good of the village, it has beeh incor­ porated. A special election will be held on the seventh of November to elect a president and board of trustees. Wm. Severs, one of the proprietors of the lumber yards* is the nominee for presi­ dent, with Wm. Johonott for clerk. The trustee nominees are Andrew Neish, Geo. Gould, S. W. Pierce, J. V. Freund, A. Schaefer and C. G. An drews. Spring Grove now boasts of a bank which iB indeed a valuable and neces­ sary acquisition to the town. A general banking business is done by Andrew Neish, the proprietor, who is also post master and conducts a large, well- stocked general merchandise store. The building he occupies has recently been remodeled, has a plate glass front and withal presents a deoided metropol­ itan appearance. Weber & Karles are also dealers in general merchandise and carry a complete stock. * In addition to the above is a first-class meat market conducted by Jos. Neish, furniture and undertaking establish­ ment by A. Schaefer. Alexander & Gould handle a good line of hardware, and Mrs. S. W. Pierce caters to the wants of the ladies in the millinery line. Watts and Severs, besides dealing in lumber, sell feed, lime, cement, etc., and are now constructing large coal sheds near the railroad tracks. Besides the old hotel conducted by Jas. West- lake, a new and commodious one has sprung up near the depot with John Wagner as proprietor. Nulke & Pierce are running a steam power feed mill and seem to be doing a good busi­ ness. W. W. Liohty has opened a barber shop and has found plenty of work in the chin scraping business to satisfy him that the town will support a barber. The Spring Grove Creamery is in a flourishing condition and is receiving a large quantity of milk daily. It is con­ ducted on the same plans as the Mc­ Henry Creamery, being owned by the farmers, thus assuring the patrons every cent there is in their milk. If a village is surrounded by well-to-do and satisfied farmers it is an assured fact that the village will prosper. The town has two blacksmiths, Nick Freund and S. W. Pierce, who are good workmen in every sense of the word. There are only two saloons at present, run by Mike Rauen and P. Wagner, but a new building is now being erected which will be used for saloon purposes. There is no resident doctor, but Dr. McClelland, of Chicago, visits the town three days in the week and may event­ ually locate there. If he doesn't, it is quite sure some one else will before long. A new drug store will soon be opened by Dr. Darby, of Wilmot, the store building being now under way. He will stock up the plaoe and engage a registered pharmacist to oonduct the business. The veterinary surgeon, Wm. Lichty, is* enjoying a lucrative and growing practice. And last, but by no means the least, Spring Grove has a band. It has been organized nnd«r the name of the Spring Grove Cornet Band, with Hubert Pea­ cock as 1 eader. It now numbers thirteen pieces and with sufficient encourage­ ment the boys will soon be able tp dis­ course some good music. A band is not exactly necessary to the prosperity of a town, but it is an adjunct that should not be slighted by the older people. It shows the wide-awake characters of the young men, is a souroe of instruction for them and will create pleasure for all loyers of music. Spring Grove is beautifully situated in the heart of a rich farming country, has good railroad facilities, and there is no reason why it should not continue to grow. As stated before, the capitalists are not rushing things, preferring to feel their way, and not overdo the thing as is so often the case in the mush­ room towns of the west. They believe that a live village is far bettter than a dead city. When the board of trustees is organ­ ized for business it will be confronted with many perplexing propositions. There is one thing in particular the writer noticed which should receive the immediate attention of the board, and we trust that oar Spring Grove readers will pardon us for offering the sugges­ tion. The road leading from the village proper to the depot should be widened to the full width of the street near the creek and everything possible done to forget the fact that the creek exist^T A It has been demonstrated time and again that a creek or river running through a town not only divides it phys­ ically, but politically and socially as well. There is no doubt but that the land near the depot will some day all be tak­ en up for business houses and residences. The village board can not change the course of the creek but it can profit by the experience of others and partially overcome further difficulties by build­ ing a wide path between tne two sec­ tions. Another important proposition will be the sidewalks. The test of time in every city and village has. proven that the board or plank walk is a waste of money. Good cement walks cost considerably more but they last a life time and add to the beauty of a city. We feel confident that the voters of Spring Grove have nominated some men with push for the village board, who will work for the best interests of alL HAPPENING8 IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES.

Mallory, who about a month' -J ago left Nunda to conduct the Morris- ,,, *, town, Indiana, Sun, has made another: flh i The drama, "Kathleen Mavourneen" presented at Stoffel's hall last Friday and Saturday evenings by the McHenry Dramatic Club was a decided success and netted the club and the Woodmen a good sum. It is not an easy thing by any means to pick up the Irish brogue, but all the members, where necessary, bad the business down fine. Lillie Heimer, as Kathleen, took the role to perfection. In the first and last acts one could easily imagine that she had never seen any country but Ireland, so pronounced was the manner in which she handled the brogue. In the second, third and fourth acts, where she was supposed to make an attempt at refinement, she elicited the approval of the entire audience. As an amatuer Miss Heimer has few equals and with very little training she could assume any role on the semi-professional stage. As Terence, Frank C. Going, needs no criticism. As the jolly Irish lad or the disappointed and heart-broken lover he displayed his powers as an imi­ tator of professional training. Kath leen and Terence were the leading parts and they were well assigned. The rest of the company all did well, giving the leading characters exoellent support Although the play was replete with comedy, there was enough pathos and tragedy to relieve the monotony and please everyone in the audience. Misses Lillie Heimer and Anna Bickler favored the audience with a vocal duet in the first act, which was well received. Mrs. W. F. Gallaher acted as musical director, and chose the favorites, Miss Rosa Justen and Caas. G. Frett, to enter­ tain the audience between acts. Miss Bickler also sang a solo that was heartily encored.

Joseph Nolan, a carpenter employed by the Keely Brewing Company on their ice house at Fox Lake, fell thirty- six feet Tuesday, sustaining injuries from which he died. Nolan was in un­ usually good spirits Tuesday, owing to a raisebin salary. He had just ascend­ ed to begin work. Stepping upon a long beam he proceeded to dance, to the horror of his iellow workmen who shouted to be careful. He paid no at­ tention answering, with a laugh, "look out below, I'm going to fall." He stood on one leg and shook the beam to further frighten the men. Again they called to him. He started to walk across saying, "don't be afraid for me, I can walk a tight rope." When within ten feet of the end he missed his footing, clutched wildly with his hands, and fell. Nolan paid the penalty of foolish carelessness. He died without regaining consciousness. The remains were taken to Chioago. LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION is* Union Stock Yards, Chicago, November JID to December B. The entries for the third International Live Stock Exposition are all in and General Manager Skinner is happy over the outlook. There are more entries this year than at last year's show in nearly all breeds, showing how earnest­ ly the breeding interests of the country are undertaking to demonstrate the val­ ue of theirj?ree<ls as meat producers. Mr. Skinner said: "Having visited a great many of the show yards this sea­ son, I am particularly pleased that about all the good things of the year are going to 'round up' here. The animals en­ tered are prize winners at the various fairs, and I am sure that the exhibit will make the most critical judges mar­ vel at its excellence." While opening a box, J. C. Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N. Y., ran a ten penny nail through the fleshy part of his hand. I thought at once of all the pain and soreness this would cause me," he says, and immediately applied Chamber­ lain's Pain Balm and occasionally after­ wards. To my surprise it removed all pain and soreness and the injured parts were soon healed."
