The specialist pronounced the disease softening of the brain, and extended to the family bat very little , hope for Mr. Marshall's recovery.

A crusade against women who attend church bareheaded and wearing decol- „ "iette gowns was commenced by Rev. . -Father Merscher, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church at Taylorville, in a ser­ mon preached Sunday. Father Mer- Jfcher's sermon created a sensation. He Said the practice will not be permitted, 4nd if it becomes necessary he will for- Ifid them entering the sanctuary. Fath­ er Merscher is firm in his resolve to en- * ^ Jbrce the decree at all hazards. Tues­ day he refused to marry a couple until ^|he prospective bride procured headgear. The habit some people have in eaves- ^liropping on matual telephone .lines re- * Reived a pretty hard lick in a court de- s^|ision in an eastern state a few days ^jjfgo, according to an exchange. The •s/jfcase originated by one man bringing a •>$ibel suit against another for having •' faid in a talk over a line that be was dishonest. In reviewing the case the court said in effect that the conversa­ tion was supposed to be private and Confidential, and if others along the line heard the bad story about the neighbor, they were eavesdropping, on the same principle as stealing into one's private conversation. The court holds a sensible view, that those who use a telephone are entitled to talk privately and confidentially. While others have power to listen, they really have no right to do so and certainly no right to repeat such information to others. ~~ OLIVERS RETURN, Having Won Five Games Ont of Klffht Played. Sentinel: The Olivers have discon­ tinued their western trip, not because defeat at Keokuk discouraged them, but because there were no other battle fields to do battle on. Every effort was made to secure more dates, but this was impossible without long jumps which would prove too expensive. The Keo­ kuk series was, therefore, allowed t.) Close the trip. The next game of the Olivers won't be played until September 5, when the Union Giants come for a return engage­ ment. Sunday and Monday following. Sept. 0 and 7, the Olivers go to Free- port. Out of eight games played, the Oli­ vers won five, a pretty fair record. The Keokuk series was disastrous, it is true, but the boys say they could not have Won, no matter how well they played, as the home team there has the umpire working over time in their behalf. The team members enjoyed themselves huge­ ly on the trip. The Olivers struck a snag at Keokuk, la., losing three straight games, the first losses since they started out on their tour of the west. Friday the typewriter lads were defeated by a score of 8 and 1. Each of the three games was an un­ usually good one, according to the re­ ports that oome^rom Keokuk, although the Saturday game was a little ragged. Young pitched in the Friday game afyd was giyep excellent support. The ^core of 3 and 1 indicates an interesting fjnje. Saturday Hill pitched, and while f bp Olivers got frwolye hits off the Keo- |cuk man, against only Ave off Hill, the l^ads failed to win out. Two wild throws at critical stages and some bad umpir ing are givea &B the trouble, Sunday Ryan was put in the box against the Keokuks, but had to give way to Young along towards the latter xjiart of the game. Moriarity made one t.|)f the two runs made by the Olivers, ">jjlriving out a home run. The score Was and 3. At Moline Thursday the game was a V ^pne-sided affair. The Olivers played • £vlth the aggregation that bears the H^^jjiame of the town, winning by av score - jf j>f 28 and Hill pitched the game.

Members of the Party Hold Conference at Roekford on Tuesday. A Republican love feast was held at Roekford Tuesday and about 500 repre­ sentatives from the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth congressional -districts were in attendance. The meeting was not called for the purpose of indorsing any particular can­ didate, but merely to devise ways and> means of securing some office lor North­ ern Illinois. . The meeting was called to order at the opera house by E. H. Marsh, Z. B. Londis of Oregon being made secretary. Mayor Jackson of Roekford delivered the address of welcome and received generous applause. Theii followed short speeches by Hon. J. C. McKenzie. ex-Presiding Elder Yan Horn, ex-Con­ gressman Walter Reeves. The guber­ natorial question was handled gingerly and no names were mentioned in the open meeting, but it was noticeable that a strong Lowden faction was present. Without a doubt W. H. Stead of Ottawa will have the support of Northern Illi­ nois in ms race for the office dt Attorney General. A committee consisting of five mem­ bers from each county was appointed for the purpose of organizing and bring­ ing the forces of the north together. McHenry county is represented by E. D.

Vast Grain and Storage Houses Planned-- A Majority Must Work in Unison to Injure Success. Within the past week, says the Wood­ stock Sentinel, a call has been issued by the farmers of the great middle west, who are, apparently, acting in unison with the farmers of the east, south and west. This call requests a meeting in Chicago early next month for the pur­ pose of forming a vast combine, trust or union, just as one wishes to call it, all being in existence for the same ends-- that of self protection from the en­ croachments of others with whom they deal directly. In this call there is embodied a prop­ osition to organise in such a manner that all the grain and all the other prod­ ucts of the farm shall be held by the producer until such time as he may deem proper to release, thus getting the benefit of the higher market. Vast grain and storage houses are planned at central points where the products may be stored. Here the fruit of the soil will be kept until wheat reaches $1; until corn reaches 60c; until oats reach 40c, and, in fact, until all the other products have reached a corresponding­ ly comfortable figure. It is a great plan, a vast scheme, and would prove eminently satisfactory-- if it can be done as planned. However, a small band of farmers cannot do it single handed. A majority must work in unison; a majority must store the farm products and wait for the higher market, for without the majority there would be no organized effort and the farmer who was without the pale of the combine would sneak in and. Belling his grain just a little lower than the other fellow, manage to keep the mark­ et down. While the plan might be fraught with many obstacles and be an uphill movement at the start, eventually - it should push through to success. There are just two classes that can successfully carry out the trust or com­ bine idea, and those two are the/ farmer and the'capitalist. Knowles-Gage.

Wood lawn, Cemetery the Scene of Their Contemptible Work. Lsct Sunday afternoon someone, eith­ er with malicious intent or because they knew no better, entered the Woodlawn cemetery and did a great deal of dam­ age to plants and the graves. Flowers were taken from this graves and scattered about, while plants were torn up by the roots. Some of the mounds over the graves were trampled on and had the appearance of having been dug up with stioks or pounded with rocks. If the plants and flowers had been taken away and the earth about the lots been left- unmolested one could un­ derstand the motive, but as it is the work has the appearance of pure cussed- ness or wanton destruction by small boys. In either case it was a low, contempt­ ible trick and a serious offense in the eyes of the law. The cemetery association, fitffers a lib­ eral reward for niformationxthat will lead to the arrest of the guilty persons. Any aault who would be guilty of such an act has no business living in a civilized community. His place is in the heart of Africa. If boys did the work their lesson should be a severe one. A good heavy paddle should be applied generously. Hunting UetMea, Since our last report many more sportsmen have taken out hunting li­ censes and are now out looking for the elusive water fowls.

"Hank" has now some as good rigs as can be found in the county. R. Bishop shipped this week twenty five of the celebrated Bishop wagons to Minnesota. Mr, Bishop has now com­ menced manufacturing wagons on a large scale, and will undoubtedly large­ ly increase bis facilities the ooming season. The pickle factory at this place is now doing an immense business, taking in from ten to fifteen hundred bushels of cucumbers per day. The party for the benefit of the Fox River base ball club on Friday evening last was attended by about forty coup­ les, and proved a most enjoyable affair. The preparations for building an ad­ dition to the ice house of Shedd & Co., in this village, is progressing favorably, and will be, pushed to completion in time to secure the crop of ice the com­ ing winter. P. D. Smith returned fron Kansas on Friday last and reports himself so well pleased with that part of the country that he has concluded to remove his stock of goods from this village and will settle in Osborne City, Kansas. Miss Jennie Beers, eldest daughter of Dr. E. A.'Beers, has gone to Chicago to commence a three years' cotirse of mus­ ic lessons. The Fox River base ball, clnb played a game with the Nunda club in this vil­ lage on Friday last, which resulted in another victory for the McHenry boys by a score of 20 to 7. Alfred B. Jeck*.

Northway Held Last Friday--Error Made by Operator at Ingleside. The inquest on the body of William Northway, who was killed in the recent railway collision on the St. Paul rail­ road near Round Lake, completed its work at Grayslake Friday, says the Waukegan Gazette, the sessions of the inquest being on the l?tn, 96th and 38th of last month. The jury, which was composed of E. B. Sherman, foreman, Geo. B. Renne- han, John Wicks, R. W. Churchill, A. M. White and John Bauman, found that Wm. Northway came to his death from injuries received in a railraod wreck on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul railroad, caused by a head-on col­ lision of trains 140 and 131 on August 17, at about 9:15 o'clock, near Round Lake. * They found further that "Operator Willey at Ingleside made an error in re­ ceiving order No. 18, and therefore cen- DEATH OF JAMES DOHERTY. Passed Away Saturday at His Home In This Village. James boherty passed away at his home in this village Saturday morning after a lingering illness. Some time ago a cancerous growth appeared on the lip of the deceased, caused, it is believed by holding shingle nails in the mouth, he being a carpenter by trade. For a long time the sore had the appearance of a cold sore and he did not give it much thought. In time how­ ever the sore became troublesome and upon medical examination it was found to be a cancer. An operation for the removal of the growth was performed and afforded temporary relief, but it seems that ;not- all the cancer was re­ moved as it re-appeared, working back to the neck and throat. For the past few weeks Mr. Doherty had been con­ fined to his bed, being able to take but little nourishment. James, son of Mr. and Bits. Michael Doherty, was born in McHenry on the 25th of March, 1860. During the last few years of his life he spent most of his time at Elgin and Nunda. His mother 'WWII M POWElt HOISE AM) WKLI..

K.'d order repeated by Operator Willey. We find him mainly responsible for the accident and cen­ sure him strongly for neglect and care­ lessness in the discharge of his duties. Furthermore, We, the jury, find from the evidence that Long Lake is a blind station, and is the meeting place for first-class passenger trains No. 140 and No. 181, and we believe that the Chica­ go, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co., to insure safety of its passenger?, should place an operator at that point, and re­ spectfully ask them to do so." o o o o o o o o o Wauconda Presents McHenry Ball Team With the Above. ^ The Wauconda ball tossers and a Mc­ Henry aggregation, hastily got together for the special occasion, met on the local diamond last Saturday to battle for su­ premacy. The result is shown above. The McHenry team was presented with nine large indisputable goose eggs. In the mean time the Waucondaa /oiled up seven runs. Although the score may appear one­ sided it was a good game and some pretty plays were made. The McHeniy boys played an almost errorless game in the field but they could not get in any ef­ fective work at the bat. The Wauconda pitcher had a good variety of curves and a great deal of speed. He was a little too heavy for the McHenry team. Dick Walsh pitched an excellent game for the local team, but very few safe hits being made off his delivery. The hits that were made were bunched and with the assistance of an error or two the scores were made. Walsh had excellent support in the field and we firmly believe that if the same two teams were to meet again the score would be different. The McHenry boys have always been"weaker with the stick than any other place and should give that part of the game more practice. Peter Justen pulled down two high flyers in the left garden and Fred Ed- dredge froze onto everything that came his way. He plays a snappy game at short. Young Farrell of Emerald Park did fine work at first base. He is every inch a ball player- Excursion Kates to The Centennial Cele­ bration at Cbioaao, Via the North-Western Line.

Due to Unusual Abundanee of White Clover In Pasture*. City chemists in Chicago assert that inilk sours more quickly this season than usual and have decided that this condition of affairs ia due to tho unusual abundance of white clover. There is no doubt that the cows have consumed more of this variety of food this season than ever before and the Chicago offic­ ials say that they have had an extraord­ inary number of complaints of the short time milk will remain fresh even in the refrigerators. Many persons have writ­ ten to the Chicago department suggest­ ing that rasious liquids may have been placed in the milk to preserve it and that after these loose their strength, the pro­ duct becomes sour. The city chemists have made repeated tests in the last two weeks to ascertain if there was any foreign preservative fluids in the milk, but to no avail says the Elgin Advocate. It was decided that either the milk had not been kept underthe proper conditions since leaving the milk cows or there was some delet­ erious element in the food or water. It was explained by inspector Grady that the pastures of ^Wisconsin and Io­ wa which he has been visiting on his vacation contain a large amount of white clover. He asserted that the clover by having honey-producing characteristics has a tendency to produce milk which sours more quickly. WEATHER PLAYS HAVOC. RAIN FALLS DURING TWO DAYS OF COUNTY FAIR. •1*1 !0r The Exhibits were there, Hotrever, and Pronounced tho Beat In the History of the Organisation. The McHenry County Fair officials made only one mistake in arrangis^f matters this year, but it was a disas­ trous one. How in the world they over ­ looked the fact that it was necessary to consult the weather man is a mystery. All other details received the best at­ tention. No wonder tho W. M. felt slighted and sought revenge in the full­ est measure. Tuesday, the first day of the fair, was a nice day, and Wednes­ day, altho not as bright as conld be de- 8U'ed, permitted the people to turn out in great numbers. But Thursday, the day looked forward to as banner day of the fair, was a mise-able effort on the part of the weather man. A drizzling rain fell during the entire day. The grounds became muddy and even min­ iature lakes formed in places. The at­ tendance was naturally limited to a very small crowd. Friday was not much better, and as a consequence hun­ dreds who had made arrangements to attend during the last two days were deprived of the opportunity of seeing the fine exhibits. The McHenry county fair of 1908 will go down in history as a record breaker as far as exhibits are concerned, if not in point of attendance. Every depart- ment was well filled and on every hand . % couldtbe seen the results of untiring la- bor of the secretary, Geo. H. Hunt, and . :*•! his able brother officers. In past years people haye returned home from the fair with nothing but words of com- • plaint, but this year we have yet to hear *J anything but praise. * -v• The fair was more thoroughly adver- tised than ever before and had the ;¥>|| weather been favorable every part of % the program would have been carried out as advertised. The officials had hopes of wiping ovt the old debt that hangs over the associ- -. .j ation, but of course the chances of ac- complishing. that end went glimmering on Thursday. It is thought, however, despite the adverse circumstances, that . •" ^ n<f new debts will be left this year after /'|j business matters have been closed. . SCHOOL OPENS, NEXT MONDAY. A ...

As a result of this plan, the high schools of McHenry county should have a greater and more regular attend­ ance than ever before. All pupils who have completed the course in the grades as prescribed by the country and village schools should enter at onoe the high school of their choice. A word of en­ couragement from parents at this point means much. How natural it is to lose interest in school work after a year's absence. Co-operation is the word and now is the time.
