It vu ft r«ry mwjl* (Msftppotated crowd that tarried oat last Sunday to witouor the baseball game to take place on that day. The Colombia Giants, who were hooked to meet the locals, were unfortunately delayed in a street car wreck in Chicago While on their way to the North-Western depot, which caaM^ Umnu to miw the last Mcflenry train. Hundreds pf people from the sur­ rounding towns had come to McHenry to witness the much advertised game, bat the non-appearance of the visitors deprived tyetn of the pleasure. At two o'clock the streets of McHenry re- •enjbled a Fourth of July celebration, tad it is estimated that nearly ope tboa- land people would have seen the contest lad it been palled off. The iuaaager of the colored team sent out his regrets as to the disappoint­ ment and premised the local managers kb it if another game could be arranged for they oonld safely be depended upon. To give the crowd of spectators, who had gathered at the park, some amuse­ ment a picked team from McHenry played the Bines, the Bines winning by a score of 7 to 4, NOTES FOR FANS. Dundee was shut out 6 to 0 at Belvi- dere last Sooday. ~ Crystal Lake vs. Mum at baseball park next Sunday. Richmond defeated the fast Lake Geneva team at Richmond last Sunday by a score of 18 to 6. In an ^even-inning contest at Har­ vard last Sunday the home team defeat­ ed the Union (111.) team by a score of 8 to 7. The Crystal Lake-Woodstock White Sox game at Crystal Lake last Sunday ended in a row. The score at the time stood even, 18 to 18. Genoa Junction defeated the Wood­ stock Grays at the former place last Sunday by a score of IS to 11. Next Sunday Richmond will ha the opponent of the Genoa team. The McHenry married men's team will go to Grayslake tomorrow (Friday) for a return game with the Grayslake team. A hot battle is expected as the loeals have .been putting in some hard practice for the game. At a game of baseball played at lie­ nor, Peon., last week, a remarkable oc­ currence took place, the pat-outs of one team being made by two men, the catcher having seventeen put-outs to his credit and the first baseman ten. No balls were sent into the Held with excep­ tion of Qoe assist which was made to first from right field. The Hebron baseball team is still in the rowdy busiaes?. The Lake Geneva Reds left the grounds during a game one day recently. The visitors could not stand for the unfair treatment they received at the hande of the Hebronites. The McHenry team experienced the same circmnstanoei last year when they were at Hebron. Even some of their home people are becoming disgusted with the way they treat visiting teams. GAlifE NEXT SUNDAY. The Crystal Lake baseball team, with a number of victories to their credit, comes to McHenry next Sunday for a game with the Blaes. The Crystal Lake team is classed among the coanty's best teams and judging from the gauies played by that team they will make it very attach interesting for the fans. The locals are going a very swift gait and will make the visitors step qaite lively to win the day's honors. Game called at 2:45 sharp. General admision, 28 cents; ladies and children, 10 cents. Modest Claims ORm Carry th« Most Con­ viction. When Maxim, the famous gan invent­ or, placed his gun before a committee of judges, he stated its carrying power to be mnoh below what he felt sore the gun would accomplish. The result of the trial was therefore a great surprise, instead of disappointment. It is the same with the manufacturers of Cham­ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. They do not publicly boast of all this remedy will accomplish, but prefer to let the users make the state­ ments. What they do claim is that it will positively cure diarrhoea, dysen­ tery, pains in the stomach and* bowels, and has never been known to fail. For aale 6y G. W. Besley. QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

Distinguished physicians say that cig­ arette smoking is very injurious and that it is sapping the life of the Ameri­ can youth. And yet the youngster with a cigarette in his mouth feels as if he was a combination of the Irish giant and Daniel Webster. About the smallest and,meanest trick we have heard of in sometime was the following: A farmer, W. W. Wood, was driving with a load of oats between Volo and Hainesville some time since, when he accidentally lost off two bags, containing abont three bushels each. A neighbor came along soon after, picked them out of tbe road and stood them by the Side of the fence. Shortly tifter another individual who, Mr. Wood says, lives not a thousand miles from McHenry, came along and deliberately took one of the bags pf oats, put it into his wagon and carried it home. This individual is well known to Mr. Wood, and if he wishes to save trouble, will do well to call and settle without delay. The price of the oats is. small, but the act is contemptible. A Tragic Finish. A watchman's neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea dyke, which a child's finger could have stopped, to become a ruinous break, devastating an entire province of Holland. In like manner Kenneth Mclvor, of Vanceboro, Me., permitted a little cold to go un­ noticed until a tragic finish was only averted oy Dr. King's New Discovery.

Protect Proprietary Medicine. Did it ever occur to you that pioprie- tary medicines are a blessing to mail- kind generally? The rood ones have long continued sale; the poor oues have short life and soon leave the market. If we had to depend entirely up< .n phy­ sicians and druggists it would be expen­ sive and very inconvenient at times, es­ pecially ih the country and at night when neither could be conveniently reached. For nearly forty years Bo- schee's German Syrup has been used in many families, and thousands of lives of adults and children have been saved by its use, when it was impossible to reach a physician. German Syrup is the best household remedy for coughs, colds, throat and lung trouble. It quickly re­ lieves the hacking cougb, loosens tbe phlegm, and brings sound and refresh­ ing sleep.

' The two young men are graduates of North western University and made their start from tbe Beta Theta Pi fraternity house, 1704 Chicago avenue. Harrison was re­ sponsible for the jaunt by praise of the fudges made by Miss Northrop, who is a graduate of the university. She chal­ lenged him to walk to Woodstock, where she lives, and he accepted. Har­ rison lives at Leaf River and decided to continue his trip to his home. Ros- boiough, who lives at Sparta, joined him.
