Weber & Son for the construction of a boat house and repair shop .36x80 feet on bis lot at Rosedale. The building will be used mostly for storing launches and other boats. How­ ever, Mr. Hunter has contracted to re­ pair several launches this winter and will use a portion of the building for that purpose. Expert workmen will be sent out from the Chicago shop to do the work. Mn Hunter is still desirous of start­ ing a boat factory on the river here and indications point to the ultimate success of his project. He is manufacturing a boat that will be and is being recognized as the best adapted for shallow and weedy wateis. Mr. Hunter's company has done no particular advertising, but even now their Chicago factory is taxed to its utmoet capacity. McHenry is an ideal spot for such an industry and Mr. Han ter is aware of this. From this .point hit? boats can be delivered to many of the Wisconsin lakes with very little overland journey. Even to supply the demand on the Fox Lake chain wonld keep a factory busy some time, to say nothing of the many places down the river toward Elgin. 8AYS PROPHET LIES. Bowie's. Aged Father Crashed by the At* tack of His UnfraWhil Son. John Murray Dowie, of Essex, Iowa, crushed by the attack made upon him by his son, John Alexander Dowie, says of it: "The statement that I an) not the father of John Alexander Dowie is the greatest myth ever uttered by the mouth of man. It is scandalous that my son should repudiate me after I have done so mnch for him. He is my SOQ> and was born in lawfui wedlock. No one can deny it. The records can be had at the great register offices, Princess street, Edinburg, Scotland. I have al­ ways lived a quiet, peaceable, Christian life and it breaks my heart to have this trouble come toward the end." Judge Dowie, who is respected by the whole community, lives in Essex in his little cottage. The resemblance be­ tween John Murray Dowie and John Alexander Dowie is so close that the father has often been taken for the son. The old man is growing feeble and the recent trouble has aged him greatly. Market Wauted. "Wanconda needs a meat market, "says the Leader, "W. W. Welch having quit the business here to better himself, he hopes. We should have a market, only one, and the proprietor, to succeed, must buy his meats on foot around home. If he buys of the packer he must pay two freights and of course the consumer, as in every other matter, must pay the tariff. Now, who will open a market, buy his goods as much as possible' at home, and sell so low that people will be able to use more meatt" ~ What to do thin Month. As the cold weather approaches per­ sons with weak lungs are in danger of having lung disease being fastened up­ on them. To prevent this they should early commence the use of Foley's Hon­ ey and Tar. It soothes and heals the lungs and strengthens them against ser­ ious attacks. Persons who have once suffered from la grippe should not fail to use this remedy. Be sure that you get Foley 's Honey and Tar when you ask for it.

P«f an "Off Tear" the Pluralities Returned in the Republican States are Kxtremeiy Satisfactory to the Dominant Party. .. Republican policies and the adminis­ tration of President Roosevelt received a substantial indorsement at the state elections held last week, and the gen­ eral result is taken by skilled politicians to presage an overwhelming victory for Mr. Roosevelt next year. For an "off year," the pluralities returned in the Republicanstates are extremely satis­ factory to the members of the dominant party, while in Ohio, where a spirited campaign was waged by the opposition, the figures are record breakers. Aside from the success of Tammany in the city election in New York, there is noth­ ing in the returns to indicate any re­ action in. public sentiment against the Republican party or to afford any en­ couragement to the discordant and de­ moralized Democracy. Tammany's tri­ umph was due more to the reaction against the restrictions imposed upon the people by the reform administration and the desire for a "wide open town" than to any issue involved in national politics, and it is a very serious question whether that local victory will not prove more of a detriment to the De­ mocracy of the nation in the next pres­ idential contest than an aid. By secur­ ing oomplete control of New York city, Tammany will dominate absolutely the Democratic party of the entire state and will become a potential factor in the Democratic national convention next year, but, if the nominee of that con­ vention is chosen at the dictation of Tammany Hall, the most corrupt politi­ cal organization in the world, he will lose the support of many thousands of honest and self-respecting Democrat* throughout the United States. For this reason the Republican party of the na­ tion is likely to be a gainer and the Democratic party the loser by Tam­ many's triumph. In Ohio the result is ^especially grati­ fying to intelligent men of all parties because it deals a body blow to Bryan- ism and all that it implies. In that state the Democratic candidite for gov­ ernor was a devoted follower of Mr. Bryan and an arrant demagogue who went to extremes in advocating radical policies and the wildest vagaries. It is a comfort to thoughtful and conserva­ tive men of all parties to-know that his extremism and demogogy have been rebuked emphatically by the voters of Ohio, Who have buried him under the greatest plurality ever returned against a Democratic candidate for governor in that state He did not expect to be elected governor, but did hope to defeat Mark Hanna for the United States sen­ ate, and the result of his efforts in that direction is the largest Republican ma­ jority on joint ballot ever »nown in an Ohio legislature and the assured re­ election of Senator Hanna. Upon the whole, says the Illinois State Journal, the general results of the voting attest the satisfaction of the peo pie of the nation with the politics and the administration of the Republican party, and must be accepted as arr ex­ pression of their renewed confidence in the leaders of that party and of their determination to keep them in control of the affairs of the country. Is Now a Voter. Starr Brink is now a voter, being en­ dowed with all the powers of full- fledged citizenship. He was twenty-one years old Thursday and on the same evening was delightfully reminded of the fact. Several people took him by surprise at his home and made merry until both hands of the clock pointed straight up. The game of cinch was one of the chief diversions of the even­ ing. An excellent supper was Berved by Mrs. Brink. The following were present: Messrs. and Mesdames-- D. F. Hanly. Wm. Phalin A. C.

Bronchitis for Twenty Y Mrs. Minerva Suiith, of Danville, HI., writes: "I had bronchitis for twenty years and never got relief until I used Foley's Hoaey and Tar, which is a sure cure."

WhUing and Mint Bertha »ald- wia Married Last Wedaesday. Mr. Edwin C. Whiting and Miss Ber­ tha Baldwin were married last Wednes­ day evening, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p. m., at the parsonage of St. Patrick's church, Rev. P. M. O'Neill officiating Mr. Ed­ win Walsh and Miss Edith Whiting, sister of the grooin, were the attendants. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding supper was served at the home of the groom, near Ringwood. The en­ tire affair was conducted in a quiet manner and many of the intimate friends did not know of the wedding until several days after. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Adelbert Whiting, who reside near Ringwood. He is a young man of ex­ cellent character and possesses all the qualifications of an upright and valu­ able citizen. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. S. D. Baldwin of Nunda and a sister of Mrs. T. P. Walsh of Grayslake. She has taught scoool in Ringwood for some time and by her sweet disposition has won many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Whiting will reside on the farm belonging to the groom's grand- fahter, Free.uan Whiting, adjoining his father's farm. They are a worthy couple and deserve the congratulations and best wishes of all. LARCESTRUCTURE FALLS THREE MEN 8ERIOUSLY IF FATALLY INJURED. NOT lee Home Being Raised at Plstakea Lake Collapses Wednesday Morning--Leg* and Arms Broken. A large ice house which was being raised at Pistakee Lake Wednesday morning by the Morthern Lakes Ice Co. fell to the ground, seriously if not fatal­ ly injuring three workmen. The building will be a mammoth structure, similar to the bne which was burned last spring. The posts are thirty-six feet high. One can imagine the immense weight of the sections to be raised. Just before th£ accident yes­ terday one of the sections, had been raised and the men were at yvork placing the supports. One man was 'on the plate at the top o£ :the structure yrhil,e two others -were on ladderp. per feet gale was blowing at the time, probably' causing the timbers to topple to the ground before the proper fastenings could be made. It looked at first as tho the three injured workmen had been tailed outright Dr. D, G. Wells was called and soon arrived on the scene. With the assistance of S. S. Chapell, who accompanied him, the three pa­ tients were soon bandaged and made as comfortable as possible. The injured were: August Lindqnist--Internal injuries and injury of the spine. John Walsh--Arm and hand broken, face badly cut, requiring nine stitches, internal injuries. John D.^ Gilbert--Both bones in left leg broken," siilflU 4MIJ|<IIII internal in­ juries. GREAT EVENT. International Live Stock Expoalttea* Chi. eago, 1003. The entire west is interested in the occasion of the Live Stock Exposition from the fact that such an enterprise is in the nature of a fitting recognition of the work done by the breeder and feed­ er of live stock and gives well deserved encouragement to their efforts. The International Exposition has be­ come a permanent feature in the pro­ gress of live stock exhibits and is, in the language of Prof. Ligget, Dean of the Minnesota Agricultural Expe: iment Sta­ tion, "The great tribunal where the leading herds an<i£flocks are brought for final judgment. It is the annual round­ up for breed improvement, where the interested breeder can mark the pro­ gress and the changes made in the pub­ lic standard of such breeds. It is of more than passing interest and more importance than other shows for the reason that it is the only place where •11 prominent breeders meet in the show ring." The attendance from the west has in the past been exoellent, but the man­ agement anticipate for 1903 an outponr of stockmen and others interested in the improvement of western herds such as has never been equalled in the history of the exposition. The North-Western Line announces that special low rates will be in effect November 29th and 30th and December 1st for this occasion, from all points west, with ample train service for the accommodation and convenience of all those who attend.

He was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Steven­ son drank deep of dark red liquor on Wednesday evening, and came down town with a shot gun. He fired two shots at one citizen and later shot at another resident of Woodstock. This was a little too strenuous for the people and he was placed nnder arrest. Dealers fesr that there will be a great decrease in the number of oysters this year and they are prophesying freely that the supply will be inadequate to meet the demands of the thousands of persons who consame an enormous amount annoally. Everywhere it is said that an attempt will be made to sell oysters at the regular price, which is from 40 to 50 cents a quart, but it is admitted that it will be impossible to do this should the market become alarm­ ingly scarce since it would not pay the dealers to handle oysters at a small profit The work of organizing Prohibition al­ liances is being pushed throughout Mc­ Henry county by County Chairman Wilbur H. Levey, who has secured the aMii.ttam-e of Evangelist and Mrs J. H. Loukett of Chicago, the wonderful musical entertainers and gospel temper­ ance workers. An effort will be made to organize an alliance in every town in the county. Snccess has been achieved so far. Woodstock has organized sn alliance with thirty-two charter mem­ bers. Ridgefield starts out with eight­ een charter members. They were at Marengo Thursday, Friday and Satur­ day evenings last week, at,Franklin- ville Sunday a f ternqon. Union; Sunday and Monday evenings. They had the hearty hupport of the Methodist pastor, F. S. Freeman, and the church people at Union. It is evident that success must surely follow the efforts of these wonderful workers. PLEASANT WORDS. Part With Harvard People Loath to Father Foley. _____ ' "v : Tfife Harvard Independent prints the following, showing the high esteem in which is held Father Foley, who has re­ cently gone to Elgin to be second as­ sistant pastor of St. Mary's church: . "Before leaving us for Elgin, Father Foley was waited on at ^ Joseph's rec- iory by the Misses Lilli^i Waters and Lizzie Nolan, who invited him to the Foreeters' hall to meet the children of the Parish Christian Doctrine school. Having reached there he was Bnrprised, iudeed, by the laughing, happy faces of the children, who presented him with a splendid gold watch, in addition to a little purse to buy a suitable watch- guard, if he so desires. The surprise of all was the address the spokesman made: 'Father, indeed we are all very sorry to see you go; but you lovingly watched -over, UB while you were with us, and now we place a watch over you.' Father Foley responded in a few words, which the occasion called forth. He did not attempt to conceal his pleas­ ure and his gratitude for so unexpected "a token," and for such thoughtful, in­ nocent, generous young hearts. He said he could not well see how in three tnonths he could have deserved such distinction as to gain the affections of the children, which he prized more than gold or silver." THE CORH HU8KER.

If not, see Her bee and dqn't be bothered aay longf^r ^ In years past, when our grandparents were young men and women, husking bees were made events of considerable social importance in the rural districts and that the participants enjoyed those events no one can deny. But there has been a change in all this. We hear no more the merry laughter of the happy young people as they swarm about the stack of stalks and tug away at the husks, the young swains ever on the outlook for the red ear and the privi­ leges which it foretold. It is now the bhredding and husking machines, with too frequently a cry of dismay from sjuie poor victim who das lost a finger, hand or arm, and in many cases death results. There are today hundreds of young men in this state alone who have lost an arm in the terrible machines. We are pleased to note, however, that the manufacturers are now putting out machines that are constructed on bet­ ter lines, making it almost impossible for the feeder to get hiB fingers caught in the rollers, unless he climbs upon the feeding table, which is too often the case. Carelessness has had a great deal to do with the many accidents. The first victim this season is a farm hand working on Sheriff Jas. Lake's iarm at Harvard. He will only lose a finger, but the annual amputation bee will soon be on in earneet. , A Mammoth Holiday I--a.
