The first few horses sold at fair figures, but the last did not bring their value and the sale was declared off. , There was a large crowd in attendance. E. W. Howe has purchased the corner lot directiy east of Michael Doherty's residence, north of the park and already has a barn built. MAsous are now at work on the walls for the house which will be a large modern structure. The cucumber season is "all in." About 6,000 bushels were taken in by Stafford & Goldsmith in t^is village. No pickles will be barrelled here this year. The entire lot will be shipped to headquarters in Chicago in tank cars. The car load of paving brick arrived this week and are now being unloaded. Thsy will be used in building crossings where there is the most trafic. About ten or twelve can be put in this year and it is probable that more will be added next season. R. Wait has built a new addition to his cottage on Green street, north of Mrs. Knox's residence, and is making several other improvements in the place- It is now occupied by Clarence Cobb who will soon move into his own iieW house on tl^e south side. The hose cart which was formerly stored in John Niesen's shop can now be found under Anton Engeln's shed at the rear of Bishop Bros ' barber shop. The other two carts are located at the rear of Chapell's store in Centerville and at the rear of McOmber's store in West McHenry. If some people will not take pride enough in their own property to keep it neat, they should not expect the city to make much effort in their behalf. If, instead of continually kicking, they would devote their time to doing some­ thing for the good of the village, the city dads might meet them half way. Instead of allowing a tar walk built in front of their building, Barbian Bros, will pay the difference out of their own pockets and have a cement walk put in. They have the right idea. Tar is much better than planks, but cement is bet­ ter than either, especially for streets. have brought to the fact that there is only room for one team to get through on Waukegan street at, the railway crossing, made more noticeable since so many farmers have been passing that way to the Borden factory. The railway company has a post set directly in the middle of the street. To widen the road however would require grading on the part of the city as well as considerable repairs by the Northwestern. The board of trustees has its hands full at present, but will probably give the matter at­ tention next spring. .•%'. CHICAGO THE WONDERFUL. 1 Live! -X' i EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENING8 IN M'HENRV . ADJACENT C0UNTIE8. AND no sooner gets the Celebration of the past week out of the way, than she begins to consider for making the International Live Stock Exposition, to be held this fall, better than any ever held in the past.- This, for Chicago, is not difficult to accom­ plish, for over $83,000,000 of live -stock was handled at the Union Stock Yards last year, almost three hundred thou­ sand carloads of live stock being re­ ceived at the Chicago market during this period. This makes the city one of the greatest livestock centers in the world. The International Live Stock Exposi­ tion has been an educational agency of the greatest value to those who have visited the show in recent years from the cattle ranges and feeding, grounds of the west. These sources of supply are placed within easy reach of the city by such trunk lines of railway as the Chicago & North-Western, which brings to Chicago each year 70,000 carloads of live stock, raised and fed in the territory it reaches. The people living in this rich agricultural region, tributary to Chicago, are evincing each year more interest in the betterment of their stock. The exhibition at the Union Stock Yards during the International Exposition this fall will be one of the most notable ever seen, and its chief value will be along educational lines, looking to the im­ proving of breeds <-4nd ' raiding of standards, which means just so much more money in the pocket of the pro­ ducer. Full particular^ as to the program of the International together with an­ nouncement of low railway rates via The North-Western Line will appear later. • luanrance New*. * Insurance men of the West who read the daily columns of insurance informa­ tion in the Chicago Record-Herald keep pace with the times and are prepared for all emergencies -end contingencies that have grown into the insurance busi­ ness.

He owned a pickle factory at Woodstock and had similar interests in many Illinois and Michigan cities. Nunda Herald: The Nunda and Crys­ tal Lake Union schools have the largest enrolment in their history. There are 807 children now attending this popular public institution, and more are coming. This unprecedented attendance has caused an overcrowding in some of the rooms, which is detrimental to the best interests of the school, and measures should be taken for relief. Marengo Republican: The Dundee Hawkeye estimates that there have been bought for the pickle factory in that city not less than 6,000 bushels of cu­ cumbers. We feel safe in saying that the two factories here have bought over 60,000 bushels of pickles this sea­ son. The factory at Union has prob­ ably bo-ght 10,000 bushels.

The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Freund, who re­ side near Ringwood. An elegant wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's par­ ents, a large number of friends being present. The gifts were many and beautiful. DROWNED AT PISTAKEE. PUBLIC SCHOOL REPORT AVERAGE ATTENDANCE DURING FIRST MONTH IS 198. Boll of Honor. - • Work at the school building is progressing smoothly and it would seem that each and every pupil is endeavor­ ing to outdo his or her neighbor in ac­ quiring knowledge, and, aboye all things, in being punctual. The fact that only thirteen have been tardy and the average attendance 198 out of a pos­ sible 306, shows that the pupils take pride in having their names placed upon the roll of honor. This same feel­ ing will serve them well throughout life. The successful business and pro­ fessional man is a person who i« always punctual and is always at his post of duty during business hours. Following The board of education at Suturdav evening decided to a new bell for the school building, to take the place of the decrepit piece of metal that now hangs in the belfry. The new bell will be larger than the old Win to that wiil be greatly appreciated by pu­ pils and teachers. One of the large rooms will be plastered and. good flooring put in, This room is to be utilized for physical culture, where the ptipils will have plenty of room for gymnastics and calisthenics. The board will also invest in about twenty yards more of black board. V "-ttl# JUNIOR iDITOR. wm. By the capsizing of a row boat last Saturday forenoon at eleven o'clock, near Bald Knob, Pistakee Bay, Wm Morgan of Chicago was drowned. Morgan, in company with three com­ panions, left the south shore in a small boat with the intention of rowing across the lake to take the 11:40 train to Chi­ cago on the Milwaukee road. They were only a short distance from Bald Knob ana about 200 feet from buoy No. 6 when a gale came up suddenly, over^ turning the boat Morgan was the only member of the party who could not- swim, and.he went to the bottom before his friends could assist him. The other men hung onto the boat until help ar­ rived from shore. At this time the body has not been found. The drowned jman was a bar tender and was well known at the Bay, where he made frequent visits. ^auTOiffierty Zue Gal la her Irene McOuiber Pearl Sayler Emery Wheeler COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS \'S- H. X.

Carnival of Crime. A black chapter of crime in Kane oounty has jnst been rehearsed by the September grand jury. The whole county is stirred up by the number of atrocious and startling murders com­ mitted within the last year, and a fit­ ting climax to the carniyal of crime is to take place Friday, October 28, when Antonio Romano will swing into eter­ nity frojn a gallows in the jailyard at Geneva. For many years the coun­ ty has gone on in its quiet, peace­ ful way, with little to mar its quietude or startle the outside world. There has been abundance of small criminality, but bloody and atrocions crimes have been almost unknown, Job work of all kinds neatly done at Horses at Public Auction. The undersigned will sell at public faction on the farm known as the Smith Bros.' farm, one mile south of Ringwood, three miles northwest of McHenry and four afhd one-half miles 'east of Greenwood, on Saturday, Oct 10, commencing at one o'clock p. m., without reserve, rain or shine, twenty- five horses and colts, bred on Mr. Smith's farm at Redington, Nebraska. These are a choice lot of horses. No pains have been spared to select the de­ sired type of horses for this section.
