G. W. Besley. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Item Clipped front The Plaindealer of February IS, 1881. • * X, AHm* Walsh and Miss Ella -dlftoji, only daughter of T. J. Clifton, both of this village, were married at Geneva Lake on Thursday last. H. C. Mead, administrator of the es­ tate of D. C. Wilson, deceased, sold on Saturday by order of the court, 42 acres of wood land on the rear of the Wilson farm, for $30 per acre. This is said, by those who knew, to be a good sale. C. B. Cnrtis of this village was the pur­ chaser. Wm. Covillehad twenty-nine sheep killed by dogs oii Sunday night last. Those sheep killing canines should have their tails immediately cat off just back of the ears, and then the owners made to pay all damages. These 29 sheep were worth more than all the dogs in creation. In these times of deep snow it would seem that footmen had some rights that teamsters are bound to respe&t. At least it would be just and right that teams would give half the road to per­ sons on foot, and not compel! them to get waist deep into the snow in order to pass. We are led to make these re­ marks by noticing children coming from school, even young ladies being obliged to ̂ step into the deep snow, the passing teams taking no notice of them, but keeping straight ahead in the beaten track. We do not mean to say all that drive horses do this, but from per­ sonal notice the past few days, fat too many do. ' One of the severest storms of snow and wind known in this section for years, commenced on Friday afternoon last, continuing all day Saturday, com­ pletely blocking the railroads and mak­ ing it almost impossible to get around with teams. The mail train, which passed this station at 7$ on Satnrday morning, did not reach Chicago until seven in the evening, and with the aid of two engines, succeeded in getting back here again abdut noon on Sunday. The snow banks through the country are all the way from four to ten feet deep, making it difficult to get around. In many places the roads have been en­ tirely abandoned, and circuitous routes through the fields have been opened. Bnsiness is, of course, virtually at a standstill, and will be until the farmers succeed in "shoveling out." On Wednesday night last the house of Mai Wagoner, who lives about two and one-half miles northeast of Johnsburgb, was consumed by fire, together with his entire household furniture, clothing, etc. Two children of Leonard Bantns, aged seven and nine years, who were sleep­ ing in the chamber, also perished in the flames. It appears that Mrs. Bantus, who is a daughter of Mr. Wagoner, was sick, and the children had been sent to their grandfather's to stay overnight, the two youngest sleeping down stairs with the old folks aod the two oldest were put to bed up stairs. Betweeu two and three o'clock Mr. Wagoner awoke to find the honse in flamfes, him­ self, wife and two children below barely escaping in their night clothes, and all efforts to save the other two children were unavailing. It appears the fire caught from a defect in the chimney in the upper part of the bouse, and it is probable that the children were smoth­ ered with smoke, which accounts for their not making any outcry. The fath­ er of the two children bnrned has been extremely unfortunate, as he was him­ self almost killed by being buried in a well a few years since, which made him a cripple for life. He has the sympathy of all in this double bereavement. Mr. Wagoner's loss was quite heavy, bat we have not learned the amount. g GET YOUR C08TUM5S Port he Masque Ball to be Held at Stoftfi Ball, lebraary SB.

The "rabbitry" at Woodstock bnrned -Wednesday night of last week. This Was the bnilding where Belgian hares were formerly raised.and later used as an auxiliary factory for parts of the Oliver machines. A Kansas paper tells how a school teacher was giving his pupils a lesson regarding the circulation of the blood. "It I stand on my head, by way of illus­ tration, the blood rushes to my head, doesn't it?" Nobody contradicted him. "Now,"he continued, "when I stand on my feet why doesen't the blood rush to my feet?" "Because your feet ain't empty," answered a daring youth. Woodstock Sentinel: Crazed from the effect of liquor, John Gny, a farm labor­ er, discarded his sboes and stockings and most of his clothing and walked from Capron to Chemung, a distance ot four miles, Sunday morning, and when found about 7 o'clock was walking aimlessly abont on the ice on the mill pond at the latter place. As a result both his feet and one hand were so badly frosen that he died at the Cottage hospital at Harv­ ard on Wednesday of last week. Nnnda Herald: A Chicago hobo working on the ice at Crystal Lake got mean last Sunday and assaulted Will Rabstorf of Crystal Lake, one of the foremen, with one of the big heavy files used in sharpening pike poles. Rab­ storf's head was cut open and a physici­ an took several stitches. His heavy cap alone saved his life. The hobo was locked up in jail all day Snnday, bnt was released on promise to work' out all the costs and pay for the time Rabstorf loses.

HIGHS EASY WINNERS Oyer the Dundee and Carpentenvflle High School Teams. ANSWERS TO HIS GALL Last Friday evening, at the city ball in this village, the McHenry high school basket ball team showed to the people of McHenry, or those who were present at the game, their true form, their opponents being the Dundee and Car- pautersville high school team, which is far from being a slow one. McHenry had, early in the week, been given a gentle hint as to the standing of the team which they had as their op­ ponents and consequently did jnst a few extra stunts during the week and when the appointed day arrived the highs looked exceedingly good to their royal supporters. To the visiting team they also looked like a fierce proposition and who, after the first five minutes of play, had decided that McHenry was far too fast a company for them. In spite of the fact that they saw defeat right from the very start, the visitors kept right in the game at all times, striving their best to keep the score as low as possible. Two field throws was all that Dundee was able to see re during the entire con­ test, their other points coming thru free throws at the expense of the highs, who fonled frequently. The score, when time at the close of the second half was called, stood 48 to IS, with vhe highs the victors. The game as put up by the locals, was by far the best article of ball ever seen in McHenry, each and every member of the team doing his share of die good work. Larson, McHenry's center, played the game of his life, making two very- difficult baskets from the field. Evanson, as nsual, was at hand every time when the ball was within a reason­ able distance of the basket, very sel­ dom losing a chance for points. Wheel, er, whose good work has won many a victory, also did some field throwing and hurdling. He is all over the hall at the same time--a faster man never played basket ball. Ross, who probably shows the greatest improvement over last year's work, has developed into a mighty good man and his opponents sel­ dom get the best of him. He watches bis man very closely and is always on the ball when it comes his way. Mc- Andrews, although in his first year with the highs, is improving at every game and last Friday evening did some excep­ tionally good work, making a couple of nice field throws. In the second half Mc Andrews gave way to Will Gallaber, who was given a try out with fast com pany and made good. Will is one of the stars on the second team and in another year will replaoe one of the highs in a fine manner. He knows thing or two about the game, a quiok thinker and bandies himself well All in all, McHenry baa a team of which we feel proud. _ W » | . | _ , , > ' • t School Notes** •*?' The seventh and eigfetfc wrestling for honors with chant of Venice." Florence Granger and Alford Pouse Were marked out Monday and Tuesday pn account of sickness. It has been decided by the county committee that the school exhibit at the county fair shall be non-competitive, We are very much indebted to Mr, and Mrs. W. A. Cristy for valuable do­ nations to our library in the form of good reference and readable books. We are glad to note the encouragement of both teachers and pupils received from the visitation of patrons during the past two weeks. Come again and bring many others with you. At a recent meeting of the board of education it was decided that the gradu­ ating class sboold present "The Mer­ chant of Venice, Modernized," with the class honors, instead of the nsual gradu­ ating essay. The basket ball team will go to Crys­ tal £*ke Friday evening to play the last of the series of three games. March 8 they will meet the Elgin Y. M. C. A. on the home ground. Watch for and be sure to see this game. The pictures in the front hall add much to the appearance of our school. They were donated as follows: "The Gleaners"--Millet--senior class; "The Dance of the Nymphs"--Corot--junior class; "The Life Boat--Hoqnette- fresh­ man class; Roosevelt--ninth grade. Good pictnres are strong, silent, forceful char­ acter builders. The school is to be con­ gratulated and the donors commended. The members of the Reading Circle have jnst finished "The Social Phase of Education" by Dutton and while many animated and interesting discussions were indulged in it has been pronounced a decided success. Certainly there is no more vital questions than the home, the church, and the school. Only three members from onr patrons. Conld we not have many more before taking op the next book? The basket ball game at the city hall Friday evening was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic audience. It was a snappy game from start ot finish, showing a fine score of 45 to 12 in favor of McHenry. The Dundee boys are a Una lot of fellows and tho playing against odds never lost heart at any time in the game. Snch zeal will make them a winning team in the near fnture The McHenry boys were in the game at til times. MRS. JAMES H. INNESS, MOTHER OF R. W. INNESS, IS DEAD.
