For Smmob of 10O4-OS HromlMi to B* Beat In Y«kw--T*l«ut Ei»K«g«4. The Woodstock leotnre course for the coming Reason has beeif completed and will commence ,,*otn«*t,ime in October. It is an exceptionally fine one and it is •lonbtfnl if one aa good was ever given in Woodstock or the connty before. Bach nnmber is firnt class in every respect, there being no one special nnmber, bnt each one being aa espec­ ially good one, the cost of the talent amounting to $750. The first number in the course will be the George Crompton Concert com- pauy. Mr. Crompton is thtf^basso-can- tante, Madame Alice Myron, contralto, Mrs. Blanche Sage-Holcomb, pianint and accompanist, and Udo Goesweiler, cellist. The second nnmber is Dr. Frank Vakely Gnnsaulus, pastor of Central cbnrch, Chicago whose reptntation us a lecturer is great. v.... J The third number is Matns and his Royal Hungarian court orchestra. There are ten in the orchestra and all finished musicians from a country noted for a class of music with its own ex­ clusive ^and peculiar charm. Mr. Matns, the conductor, is one of the capable artists and traditional exempli fiers of this school. He came to Amer­ ica in 1882 with his orchestra and whs the first to introduce Hungarian music in this coutitry. The orchestra returned to Europe, but Mr. Mstfcus regained for ten years as the petit clarinet soloist in Gilmore s famous band. William Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb , free silver candidate for president on two occasions, the fourth nui/iber, is the most costly of the entire series. He will deliver one of his famous lect­ ures. Lulu Tyler Gates and her company of artists will be the last number. |There are four in the company--Lulu Tyler Gates, reader; Miss Helen Carter Mc- Connell, prima donna contralto; Marie Ludwig, harpist, and H. Benne Hen ton, late soloist with Liberati and Van Osten's Marine band, saxophone and clarinet soloist. The course is given under the auspices of the Baptist church and should re­ ceive the very hearty support of all. Course tickets will be sold at $1.50 for the five numbers. This price in­ cludes reserved seats free of extra charge. A very fine prospectus is being issued and will be sent free on request. For prospectus write to Fred L. Renich, Woodstock, 111. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ItaHM Clipped from The Plalnd«a%»» July 0, 1879. Brutally Tortured. A caete-G^me to light that for persist­ ent and unmerciful tortnre has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Calif., writes, "For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from Rheu­ matism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me." Just as good for Liver and Kidney troubles and general debility Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by Julia A. Story, N. H. Petesch, McHen- ry, G. W. Besley, W. McHenry. People Whom Newspaper Men Meet. There is probably no place on earth better than a country newspaper office to learn how many kinds of people there are, says the Pierson (la.) Enter­ prise. Some get huffy if a statement is Bent, others will not pay until a state­ ment is sent. Some will pay without a statement, others will not pay whether a statement is sent or not. Some thought they owed more and some thought they didn't owe so much. Some say they couldn't get along without the paper and others say it doesn't amount to much. But the meanest, scrubbiest in the list is the man who takes it un­ til be is shut off for non payment and then spends half his time explaining how he used to take "the thing" but stopped it because it was "no 'count." No F«)h; Claims. The proprietors of Foley's Honey and Tar do n6t advertise this as a "sure cure for consumption." They do not claim it will cure this dread complaint in ad­ vanced cases, but do positively assert that it will cure in the earlier 8tages and never fails to give comfort and re­ lief in the worst cases. Foley's Honey and Tar is without doubt the greatest throat and Inng remedy. Sold by G W. Besley, West McHenry. The latest style of wearing the red ribbon by temperance reformers, as demonstrated in. our village during the past week, is around the head just over the eyes. The fourth of July party at the Riv­ erside House wal a grand success in every particnlar. Two hundred and one numbers were sold and everything passed off in the most pleasant and.quiet manner. As we bad no celebration in this vil­ lage O. W. Owen must have all the credit for patriotism in the shape of fireworks on the night of the 4th, as he made quite a handsome display from his residence of rockets and other pieces. We understand another club has been organized in Chicago, who will purchase grounds and build a club house at Fox lake this season. This beautiful lake and its surroundings is fast becoming one of the most populai^resorts in the northwest. Ona of the severest rain storms, ac­ companied by wind, thunder and light­ ning, visited this place Sunday nfght and Monday forenoon. The rain came down in torren^and our streets looked much like a mill pond for some time after it had cleared. H.. N. Holmes, who has just finished taking the school census of this school district, reports as follows: Total num­ ber of scholars under 21 years, 508; males, 34b; females, 255; males over six and under twenty-one, 177; females, 162; total over six and under twenty-one, 838. \ Night was tier Terror. "I would congh nearly all night long" writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate of Alexan­ dria, Ind., "and could get hardly any sleep. < I had consumption so bad that if I walked a block I would cough frightfully and spit b'ood, but, when all other medicines failed three $1.00 bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly cured me and I gained 58 pounds." It's absoluely guaranteed to cure Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, Bron­ chitis and all Throat and Lung Troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at Julia A. Story's, N. H. Petesch's, McHenry, and G, W. Besley's, W. Mc­ Henry. A Great. Thins.For Rural People. A rural carrier in a neighboring connty, where the system has but re­ cently been established, was considera­ bly astonished recently to receive the following letter frftm one of his appre­ ciative patrons: "friend Fred: As you run the free delivery by my bouse I would like you to bring me on your next trip a barrel of salt, two sacks of flour; also, a ton of coal and three spools of wire; then throw a set of whiffletrees and an' evener under the seat. When you come by Marion Waller's get two of his largest chicken coops and bring them alotig; then I can have my turkeys caught so you can take them to town. It would not detain you but a minute. And I have eight loads of wood to get to town; had I better get it out along the side of the road or will yon go into the woods after it?
