Every available team in town is engaged drawing material for the big grand stand, consisting of thousands of feet of IntMbef and heavy timbers, -and steel for the superstructure. It has tak­ en all Week to get the material from the cars to the grounds. Concrete piers on which the buildings will rest have been completed.

On his head was a savage out, which had been dressed by kindly hands, but which was very pain­ ful and gaye a touch of agony to the wan face, from which there looked a pair of honest, but bloodshot and*,dis- tressed eyes. The little lad's name was Lille Wright, and he bad run away from home--or the place which he had called home. Aged only eight years and an orphan, he had been living with John Mulligan, a blacksmith at Terra (3o*ta, who had married the little fellow's sister. The boy 's appearance was pathetic in the extreme, and his reluctance to re­ turn to the Mulligan place appeared en­ tirely justified by the story he told to Supervisor Ben Throop, to whom he bad been directed. Saturday morning Marshal Henderson went to Terra Cotta and arrested Mulli­ gan on the charge of assault and battery and brought him before Justice W. P. St CIMr in Nunda. State's Attorney L. D,» Lowell prosecuted him, but Mulli­ gan had no defense of any consequence, merely claiming the cut on the boy's head was caused by the lad's falling against a bureau while he was being whipped. Justice St. Clair fined Mulli­ gan $25 and costs, which Mulligan is paying in weekly installments.--Nnnda Herald. ., Chaiincey Net II*.

During the past week there has been a water famine, if it might be so termed, in McHenry. Not that there was a lack of water in case of fire, for there was plenty, such as it was. jt was not fit for drinking purposes,, how­ ever, unless filtered. This state of the water was caused by Jas. Conway, the Ringwood well digger. The water in ttie well will soon settle and be bettelr than ever,' perhaffc^rr"-*. •.•'-i. Under ordinary circumstances "there is water enough flowing from the pipe to fill the reservoir in a ver^ short time, making it possible to keep the stand pipe filled to the top at all times. Re­ cently, however, it was discovered that the flow bad diminished to a consider­ able extent and Mayor Story inunedi ately investigated the matter with, the water works committee. ThfM^mcln- sion was reached that the pips had be come clogged with sand, thus retarding the flow, and this theory proved to be cort-ect. James Conway worked on the job for three days with drill" and slush buckets, finally bringing the water up in sufficient volume to supply all de­ mands that will be made on the well. In order to get the flow it was neces sary to drill about three feet deeper than the pipe was sunk originally, formipg a large basin at the bottom At one time Monday water gushed out of the piiie in a greater volume than at any time before, but the pressure was so great that six feet of sand was forci-d up into the pipe, shutting the flow off almost entirely. After this was again cleaned out the natural stream was obtained. > \ The work done proves that there are no signs of the vein of water giving out, altho it may become clogged up again at any time. The water in the stand pipe will be­ come sett led in a few days and be fit for WOODSTOCK WINS AGAIN M'HENRY TEAM LOSES TO THE . / BREWERY STREETS. SHOWS ITS AUTHORITY, People on Shore* of Crystal Lake Mimt Hew to Ice Company. ---- The Knickerbocker Ice company of Chicago, whose big ice houses are built on the south shore of Crystal lake and who own considerable of the laud bor­ dering on the lake, has sent typewritten letters to the fifteen or twenty boat owners who have been tying their boats on the land owned by the company, warning them that they cannot use the lak i for boating purposes unless they secure a permit from the company. The company seems inclined to grant permits to all who ap iy and this being the case, the^action of the company in demanding permits is Bomewhat piu zling. The concensus of opinion seems to be that the Knickerbocker Ice coih- pany wishes to secure public recog­ nition of the claim to ownership of the lake, which the company makes The permits are good until Novei iber 80, 1904.--Nunda Herald. Nearly I»row a«*. ( The little six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hunter, who have a cottage at International Village on the river, had a very narrow escape from being drowned last Saturday. The boy got into one of the boats on the shore of the river and before long was floating down the stream. The boat being o>ld and. worn out soon began to fill witb water The young lad realizing what was about to happen shouted for help. Mr. Frisby, who was at work near the shore at the hotel, heard the boy's cries and at a glance saw the great danger the occu­ pant of the boat was in and hastened to the nearest boat, starting off after him with only a pitchfork to guide his way. Mr. Frisby, after a very hard struggle, succeeded in overtaking young Hunter near Wm. Bacon's place, just as the boat was about to sink to the bottom. He took the little feltow, who was in the water up to his waist and nearly f right- ened, to death, into his boat and back to his home. lnKtltutlwiiM Are Fouud Kxcellent. The auxiliary board of "McHenry county of the state board of charities composed of Dr. Willi iin A. Nason of Algonquin, president; Mrs. H. B. Minier of Harvard, secretary; and Chas. Irwin of Nunda visited the county institutions Tuesday, says the Sentinel. They found them in excellent shape. The county asylum was found to be in the best of condition and the only suggestion the board had to offer is that fire escapes now in use be remodeled so that they will be more effective in case of need. The members of the board speak in the highest praise of Snpt. Mills and his es­ timable wife for the excellent way the almshouse is conducted. The county jail was also visited and better ventila­ tion for this bastile of McHenry oouniy will be recommended. Bub O 'Relil"'Willi F 1.SOW PJM.

An ad i» The Plaindeqfer jNBUJHk -• Hotly Contented Gtune full of 'Exciting FlMyit Both Pitchers do Good Work- Grays Next. The Woodstock Brewery Street team won the secoud game from the McHenry Regulars last Saturday thru superior playing. During the first half of the game McHenry had the best of it, but a few errors soon gave the visitors an advantage that could not be overcome. It was a pretty ganie, there being few strike outs and ail the players having a chance to get into the game." The Mc­ Henry boys showed great improvement with the stick, only three, striking out, against an av^rage of ten or fiiteen in former' games. In Saturday's game their hits were all timely and well placed and would have won the game had as good work been done in the field. Dick Walsh was not able to pitch, having hurt his arm in the previous game. Walter Anderson of the Chiea go Orieles did the twirling and gave en cire satisfaction, altho he has not the hea«] nor the knowledge of the game that Walsh possesses. The regular third baseman, Voeltz, could not play, but John Gibbs filled the place like a veteran, altho it waeThis first experience m that pubUiuM. Out oi ten chances he got four put outs and four assists. As in the previous game with the Brewery Streets the county seat boys proved themselves to be perfect gentle­ men in the field. They put up a game worth seeing and not a kick was made There was a good attendance, in fact, outside of the lourth of July game it was the.largest crowd that has been in attendance this season The game was dose and exciting enough to give every witness his money 's worth.

After a several weeks' illness Roswell Holly died at his home in this village last Saturday, July. 83, at midnight. Mr. Holly had been a patient sufferer since spring, being confined to his bed most of the time. . About two weeks ago, however, he seemed to be conva­ lescing and was able to get out of doors. He was again compelled to take to his bed and finally gave up the struggle. About $en years ago the deceased* a carpenter by trade, fell quite adistance," his back coming in contact, with a tim­ ber. He never fully recovered from the effects of the fall and on account of his iarne back was forced to give up his trade, devoting his time to canvassing. Roswell Holly was born at Elmira, N. Y., May 2, 1829. In l&w he was married to Miss Viiette Daily of Penn­ sylvania. She died at Auihurst, Wis., m 18U8. To this «nion were born four children, one dying in infancy. An­ other of thede luhildren, Mrs. Etlward H. Monroe, died sixteen years ago at Woodstock, 111. The other two, Mrs. P. W. Thompson and Frank R. Holly, are living and reside pit Lake Geneva, Wis. On the ninth of August, 1874, Mr. Holly was married to Miss Nizza Hebard in this village. This umoh was also blessed with four children, one daugh­ ter and three sons. One son died in infancy'and the daughter, Maude E., died last February. Two sons, Dr. F. A., of Argenta, IU., and Joseph C., of this place, survive. There are living 13 grandchildren and 7 gnat-grandchil­ dren. The funeral services were held Mon­ day afternoon at 2:30 at the house, Rev. J. M. Cormack officiating. The re­ mains were laid to test in Woodlawn cemetery. Mrs. Holly and the children desire to express thru thesc^ columns their sincere thanks for the kind assistance of neigh­ bors and friends.

In the building up of this newspaper property Mr. Mallory showed a dogged persist­ ency that was admired by all who rec­ ognized it. After be disposed of The Herald he continued the publication of a soldier'8 paper that he had operated in connection with it, locating- at vari­ ous places and meeting with but poor success, until failing health compelled him to relinquish the arduous duties of editor and Seek his livelihood in other ways.
