A new office 10x16, on the west aide of the building is one of the improvements at the pickle factory. It is a great im­ provement over the old one, giving more room, light, etc. We learn that the glass ball shootists of Antioch 'are anxious to make a match with either Woodstock or Nunda, the shoot to come off at McHenry. We trust they may be. a ble to make the match and then we can see the fun. Backache is never known to those persons who take an occasional dose of Pineules.

Besley, West Mc­ Henry. % _ , We made a short visit to the pickle factory last Saturday and found all hands busy, some taking in what few were yet being received while others were putting them in process, prepara­ tory to shipping. Of Mr. Cristy* we learned that they had taken in this year about 85,000 bushels, and were yet re­ ceiving about 150 bushels a day. With less acreage than last year they have re­ ceived some eleven thousand bushels more cucumbers, the crop averaging this year throughout one hundred and ten bushels to the acre, .and much«hand­ somer cucumber. They are now ship­ ping three cars a week, and after the first of October will ship five cars regu larly each week. The increased busi­ ness over last year made it necessary to add four new processing tubs, which they have just put in. In the vinegar works they are^turning out seven hundred gallons daily, all of which is used in the factory. The pickles in this factory have gained for themselves a reputation second to none in this county, and are sought after by all dealers, their orders coming so fast that they find,hard work to keep up with them. The foreman, Mr. Reif, has no superior, as he under­ stands the business in all its branches, and when pickles are ready to ship from the factory he knows they are right iff every particular. The firm is fortunate in being able to secure so able and ef­ ficient a man. He is certainly "the right man in the right place," This in­ stitution has been a great help to McHen­ ry and surrounding country in the past and promises even better for the future. It is upon a solid basis, and when we take into consideration the career of other institutions of the kind in this section McHenry has just cause to feel ptoud of her pickle factory. How Much Did lie SaVef I In Jfubarban towns you will find a number of people who think they can purchase most any article cheaper in the city than in their home town. Here is an illustration. Says a farm dweller, coming out on the train the other day: I think I made a rather good bargain in the city today. My wife wanted & pa*r of shoes. They wanted $2.00 a pair for em in McHenry. In the Chicago papers $2.00 shoes, just as good as they make em, were advertised at $1.34. I just went and bought a pair and sayed 76 cents. That amount is just as good for me as them store fellows in the village.' "Certainly it is, but did you have other business in the city T" "No, I went to buy shoes and satisfied myself bow cheap I could buy 'em. I saved money on the deal. " Did you pay car fare?" "Yes, $1.50, and 25 cents tor dinner. "Of course you lost a day's work on the farm T" "Yes, but I paid my neighbor's man 50 cents to help the women folks with the chores." "That was gener­ ous. But I can't figure how you saved any money on the shoes." "Yer can't! Why, see here--Oh, darned if I ain't •paid $1.49 more for the shoes than they would have cost in McHenry."

Mrs. Dowell was about 88 years of age and bad been ill nearly three months. Be­ sides her husband she leaves four chil­ dren. They are Norman, Foster, Mil­ lie and Richard. The family moved here from near Wauconda abont four months ago. Census takers have found what is be­ lieved to be the largest family in Wis­ consin in that of Mr. and Mrs. A, Ver- kullen, of Little Chute. They are par­ ents of 27 children, all but three of whom are living. The father is 54 years old and the mother 55. They were married June 1,1875. Among their offsprings are three pairs of twins. Of the 24 children living 12 are boys. Five of the children are married and the oldest son is the father of five children. Not long ago a wealthy Irish con­ tractor died, leaving to bis wife a, good sized fortune in real estate and bonds. Both had come to this country many years ago, and he had work as a day laborer. Gradually by saving and good sense he came to own a cart, and in the course of time he blossomed out a politi­ cian. He made money fast, but as he ascended the social ladder his wife turned away from her former friends as not being fit companions for her in­ creased importance. This was fully demonstrated when he died. The room in which he lay was filled with flowers and mourners, but the widow did not appear for some time. When she did enter she was heavily veiled. She looked neither to the left nor right, but walked straight to the casket. A large floral anchor stood prominently out among the other pieces. As the widow saw it, with flashing eyes she raised her veil and turning angrily on the com­ pany demanded with as much hauteur as she could summon: "Who the devil sent that pick?" McHenry County Republican: There was an elaborate hill-climbing contest with automobiles at Algonquin last week,Thursday, concerning which A. J. Olson, owner of the winning car, gives us the following: "We had our hill- climbing contest at Algonquin and only a few cot> appeared, and the only one just willing for battle against my old 'ship' was my friend Barnes. We tried the east hill with one passenger in the car, I beating my friend Barnes seven seconds over the hill With four, pas­ sengers I beat Barnes thirteen seconds over the hill, my time being 41 seconds against Barnes' 54 seconds. I made the hill on bi«h speed with five passengers in my car and would just as soon have taken eight to ten passengers and go over the hill on high speed, but not quite as good time. Mr. Barnes would not try it with more than four. Mr. Barnes made the hill on high speed and is to be congratulated on doing that with a,Rambler car. He acknowledged defeat and says he is entirely outclassed against the Winton. He is the best automobile sport in Woodstock and the best driver of a Rambler car. I also want to add that there is not an owner of a Rambler car ui Woodstock who can beat Mr. Barnes." Did you ever notice a group of little girls between the age of 14 and 18 chat­ tering away in a corner? The next time you sit near such a group listen and hear if abont every tenth word is about what "he said." The "he said" girls are likely to loiter down town aft­ er school too late to help their mother with the afternoon work. They are lively to wear a little better clothes than their father can afford, so that the neighbors wonder what their mother can be thinking about. The "he said" girls also too often think more of the boys than their books, and frequently fail to get through school. They are in for a good time and have nothing in their heads but hairpins and two steps. Sometimes nature takes a girl .out of the "he said" families and makes a fine woman of her, but generally she gets to going ont to parties and is de­ veloped before her time, and either ' " * ' > ,\f, - marries or fades at twenty or hangs on after all the girls are married off and takes generation after generation of young boys to raise by hand and is known as "grandma" in the crowd. There is nothing so sweet as a simple, frank, openhearted girl. But the boy- struck girl is an abomination. The whole matter rests with the girl's moth er. She can either bring up one of the "he said" girls or she can have a daugh­ ter to be proud of. DOINGS ATTHE RESORTS.

The party consisted of Theodore Schmitz, foreman of the escape room of the watch factory, Mrs. Schmitz and their daugh­ ter, Miss Dorothy, and Mr. and Mrs. John Myers. Leaving Elgin in Mr. Schmitz's Rambler at 5:80 o'clock they reached the Bay at 7:30. After bowling several games, the men began the re­ turn trip, arriving in Elgin at 11 o'clock. The ladies will remain at the summer resort for seveial days. Waukegan Sun: Elgin operators of "blind pigs" for the lake region were snmmoned to Wankegan last Wednes- dry and pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor without a license. They were arraigned before Justices Weiss and Van Deusen and each was fined in sums varying from $50 and costs to $100 and costs. In each case the cost amounted to $12.150, so^it is seen that it was quite an expensive visit to the city for the lake' people. The fines did not come as a result of a raid, as cne would conclride when snch a bunch is ar­ raigned, but theycame in as a result of notice from State's Attorney Hanna that they were violating the law and must appear for trial. The persons fined1 areas follows, it being noticed that one woman is amongthe lot: James Helpin, Fox Lake; Otto Muerchke, Fox Lake; Rinhold Muench, Fox Lake; Charles Gahler, Fox Lake; Mrs. E. E. Summers, Long Lake; JohnCorbett, Fox Lake; C< M. Spring, Grass Lake. WA8 A VERY SICK BOY Bat Cared by Chamberlain's Colic, Chol­ era and Diarrhoea Remedy. GREENS WIN LAST CAME OF SEASON BY DEFEATING THE HEBRON AGGREGATION. Both Teams Play LOOM Ball, but Locals haye no Trouble in Winning the Game --Other Baseball Notes. The McHenry Greens closed the sea­ son of 1905 in a fitting manner last Sun­ day afternoon by defeating the Hebron boys. The game proved a very tame affair and at no time during the entire contest did the visitors look threatening, the Greens winning out easily by a score of 5 to 2. The Greens, although not playing near to their standard, led out from the start and maintained a comfortable lead thruout the game.. Hookstadt, the big twirler who has won nearly every game pitched this season, was in the box for the visitors and did good work, bnt hia support was of the order which will canse any pitcher to lose his game. Btt struck out but five of the McHenry batters and only eight safe drives were made off his delivery. Bending pitched his usual good game for McHenry and would have shut ont the visitors wit! ease had he been given better snppoi by his team mates. The feature of the game was the catching of Bosworth, who kept the Hebrons hugging the bases at all times, and when they did venture to steal he caught them by several hundred yards, more or less. He also lost the ball hi* first time at bat, making the circuit without exerting himself in the least. He was applauded evefy time at * bat thereafter. The Hebrons registered their first tfclly in the fourth inning, the soore beiif|g the result of a two-base hit assist­ ed by two errors. The second and last score came in the eighth, when Hook­ stadt went to first on being hit by a pitched ball, stole second and was safe at third when Evanson failed to handle Taylor's grounder properly. G. Fran- cisco sent a hot oiie to J. Thurlwell which he could not handle and Hook­ stadt crossed the plate with the seoond run of the day. The side was easily retired after that. Bosworth registered the locals' first run in the second inning when he straightened out one of Hookstadt's benders for a home run.' In the same inning Heimer crossed the home plate on an error, sacrifice and single. The third run came in the third inning on a single by Bending and double by Heim­ er. In the fourth the fourth tally was brought in by Thurlwell, the result of a two-base hit by himself, a sacrifice by Krause assisted by an errors This set tied the score-getting until the eighth, the last time at bat for the Greens. J. Thurlwell led off with a neat single, Schreiner sacrificed and F. Thurlwell came tip with his second two-bagger for the day, bringing in J. Thurlwell. This put a finish to the score-getting, which proved more than enough to win the game. Thp following is the tabulated score: THE SCORE McHENRY.
