THE Chicago Tribune is still paying Ofcrtoonist McCutcheon $30,000 a year for his Monday morning Bird Center cartoons which are as faithfnl in de­ picting real country life ae a jackass is faithfnl in obeying a Louisiana coon. IN the final settlement between En­ gland and the United States over the Alaska boundary the latter government gained about all that it asked. En­ gland loses nothing by the deal, but Canada seems to think that the little e3M of the horn is its exit The people of Canada should look at the matter in t more cheerful light. They shout1I oount on the future for the good things that will surely be theirs, for in a few years they will all be good United States citizens. THE candidates for governor are sending out literature by the ton. This office has received its full quota of the stuff. Whatever we may say with re­ gard to each aspirant will only be as a general news item. When the right man has been nominated by the Re­ publican convention, he shall receive ©or undivided support Boiler plate editorials will be cheap during the next few months, but The Plaindealer has no space for disguised gratuitous adver- **** • THE statement has been made by sev­ eral of our contemporaries that William Jennings Bryan has oponly denounced free silver. This is not true. Mr. Bry­ an has quietly and with as little show as possible taken the silver plank outpof ^ his platform and laid it on the shelf. A Xt now looks as tho there would be : some merry times in the Democratic f. (temp before the fall of 1906. Bryan and Cleveland will be the chief merry­ makers. William made a brave fight ,» jjf it and bad sense enough to know f when to quit foolin' and get with the people. __________________ THE Woodstock Sentinel contained an excellent illustrated write-up of the Ellsworth case October 15. It was piece of newspaper enterprise of which any publisher might well be proud. The McHenry County Republican, how­ ever, could seel no good in the work. ' stating that it would have to be a - "mighty important" item that will command more than two columns of its space at any time. Say, Lemmers, there may be some person who would . be greatly pleased to have you give him at least two and one-quarter columns. Would it be absolutely necessary for Mm to slay more than three people? * One thousand extra copies of the Senti- '•v ael were sold in the week mentioned ' above. It seems that the item was con sidered important by a few. BAXURSVUXK. i Mrs. John Gibbs was visiting friends at Elgin last week. Miss Edna Hunter spent Sunday with Miss Myrtle Matthews.

Some of the most anxious hours of a mother's life are those when the little ones of the household have the croup. There is no other medicine so effective in this terrible malady as Foley's Hon­ ey and Tar. It is a household favorite for throat and lung troubles, and as it contains no opiates or other poisons it can be safely given. Sold by G. W. Besley, W. McHenry, 111. HOLCOHBVILLE. Mrs. Chas.

"First Impressions are proverbially dangerous guides unless one happens t© be of the sex which always has the gift of making its first impressions fbyme with the issue," says a recent Writer. But a woman always awaits the issue before she confides her real first impressions to the outside world. She may "say things" which the male •utRider may mistake for her first im­ pressions, but they are not her real first impressions. They come only after the event This, however, is a profitless digression. A Maa to Kaow. One of the chief joys in life is to know men by whom you can swear, to know a man here and there over the world of whom you can say: "Wher­ ever he is tonight, there he is helpful, truthful, sincere, wise, Intelligent--an educated gentleman; educated in every facutly of his being, Jn those things which go to make the Dody a thing of delight and beauty; educated in con­ science. so that even as the eye seeks the light his conscience seeks the right; educated fully and completely.". A Love Letter. Would not interest you if you're look­ ing for a guaranteed Salve for Sores, Burns or Piles. Otto Dodd, of bonder, Mo., writes: "I suffered with an ugly soie for a year, but a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me." It's the best Salve on earth. 25c at Julia A. Story's, McHenry, and G. W.

It is said that one of the most Invet erate writers out of speeches was the late Lord Derby, of whom the story went that the manuscript of one of his most statesmanlike discourses, being picked up from the floor, where it bad fallen, was found not only to be freely sprinkled with "Hear, bear!" "Laugh­ ter," and "Applause," but also to con tain a passage beginning, "But T aa. detaining you too long [cries of 'No no!' and '(Jo on!']." Too Much For the Serves. "Your husband," said the doctor, "has worried himself sick. He needs a change." "Where ought we to go?" asked the anxious wife. "To the city," replied the doctor promptly, "where he will not live con­ stantly in a harrowing atmosphere ol suburban trains and time tables."--Chi- CQigQ Post. EMERALD PABK.

Once, crossing a little tributary of the Colorado, 1 found that every drop splashed on my clothes hardened to a lump of mud and that where the wa­ ter was but a foot deep my horse was nearly washed away by its force. That fact Roger Pocock says in an article in Pearson's, told me the secret of the Grand canyon. Like the NHe, the Colorado flowft through a desert, but the river of Egypt meanders softly and muddlly over low plains, spread­ ing when it is full Into harmless lakes, whereas this headlong sluice of run­ ning sand, launched at the naked rocks, has the cutting powers of a huge steel saw. The country has risen per haps an inch a year, but the torrent, instead of spreading out over the land, has sawed through the lifting rocks. The country has risen to a height of 8,000 feet while still the Colorado flows at the ancient level, only 2,000 feet above the sea. That is the reason of this profound abyss for 600 miles through the very foundations of th« world. In all, 36,000,000 cubic miles of solid rock have been ground in this vast mall and hurled into the gulf of California. • •••.••I i • e ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. Estate of Chris Schmidt, deceased.

HMTB is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep- tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it -- heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy r we often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al­ lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned -- blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure Is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald­ ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won­ derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may ~ have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both Home of Swamp-Boot, sent free by mail. Address Dr. KITmer & Co. Binghamton, bl. Y.
