TIIH last of the gypsies broke camp on Tuesday and departed northward' And now we presume fishing and limiting down the river will not be followed half so industriously bv llie young mey. On the news of the death of our pres­ ident bring received MI this village the several fi:ii»s were run iip'at half nia*t and the business hmis. s appropriately dWiped in niournitig. in memory of our departed chief The dryer at this place is now in full blast and a large ainouut of sweet corn is being received daily. We learn from the farmers that in ,this way it is a profitable crop, aud that they will raise more of it next year. Mrs Ralph S^ebbins, who has' not been feeling w.ll since her return from Kansas, is now quite low with fever. She has the sympathy of her many friends, who hope to see her around again soon. Dr. Brown is in attend* ance The tweney-ninth annual fair of the MeHenry County Agricultural associ­ ation is now a thing of the past, and it is with pride that we congratulate the people of MeHenry county that they have so nobly responded to «nd second­ ed the efforts of the managers in mak­ ing it a success, for such it truly is. not­ withstanding.the unfavorable weather which they encountered «rti the third day. Have You Paid Your Dollar? The Ladies' Cemetery Aid Society, iti looking over the names of lot owners, find a good many have not as yet paid their dollar toward the keeping up of our beautiful cemetery. Surely no one can help admiring the fine condition in which this is kept by the ladies and must realize the expense is such that all should help to pay it. Many thanks to those who have so promptly and will­ ingly paid their dollar, and how encour­ aging it would be for the society if each lot owner would pay his dollar at the beginning of each year, that the ladies "might be able to pay all expenses as fast as they come. Once every month the officers of the society meet (scarcely ever any more being present) and count over their meager sum and ask. Shall we let the cemetery go back to where it once was, to ninllens, this­ tles and every kind of Weed, or will we ask the delinquent ones once more to help us continue to keep it as it now is? This is all we can do for our departed ones- keep their last resting place beau­ tiful Surely no one has f.ij-gotten them We wish all those who have not paid this year, and some who have nev­ er paid, would kindly do so. It will be most thankfully received and will en­ able us to go on with the work. Dance at Lily Lake.

Mea PHI Sixty In Oumv More than half of mankind over sixty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlargement of prostate gland. This is both painful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of dan­ ger, as it corrects irregularities and has cured many old men of this "disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett. Rockport, Mo., writes: "I suffered with enlarged pros­ tate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure I feel better than I have for twenty years, although I tmmwiil years old.

The MeHenry - Blues journeyed over to the county »eat town last Saturday, where they met what is supposed to be oue of the fastest amateur teams HI the .state, tue Olivers, the game turning out about as was expected. When the game was arranged tor it was expected by the management that the regular team would be able to get into the game, but during the week it was learned that three or four players would be unable to accompany the team. This fact, of course, necessitated a hasty skirmish by the management for players to fill the vacancies, and as a result, had to take whatever came their way. A young man, Seifert by nafne, was recouimeud- ed a% A gflod slab artist and ar ange- ments were at ouce made with him to do the twirling. Ulrich's place at first was filled by Hennesy, the boy with the auburn hair, who sometimes carries the bats for the Chicago White Sox team, he also coming with a gilt edged repu­ tation. Between these two gentlemen the game was made a farce, alt ho the former had a world of speed with 110 control over the sphere. As to their defeat, the locals have not. a complaint to make, but are only anx ions to get another chance at the Type­ writer boys on the local grouuds. If a game fan be arranged for at the local grounds, we feel safe in saying that the largest crowd Miat .ever turned--out--to- see a ball game in MeHenry will be in attendance. Thrning back to the game or last. Sat­ urday. we will sav that only one earned run is accredited to the winners, ami as to hits, each team has five to its credit. The county seaters started their run- getting iu the first round, shoving two rnunera over the rubber during the first inning. Rarney, thiu Seifert'* mildness, secured a base on balls and went to sec­ ond on a wild pitch. Malioy was out on bunting a third strike. Sullivan leaned on the pill for two sacks and Ramey came home with the first tally of the day. Ryan drew a base on balls and while doing so Sullivan went -to third ou a wild pitch and later came home on a passed ball. Ryan stole sec oud and Bruggeman sent a fiy to Bend­ ing. which the fleet little short stop ate up in a hurry. Reed was then given a free pass to the initial sack, but Kean was called out on strikes, finishing the inning. ( Run No. 3 was scored in the second round. Wynkoop was passed to first aud stole second Converse was called out for bunting the third strike To make matters a trifle worse, Seifert made a balk, on which vWvnkoop was allowed to take third Wynkoop came home while Ramey was being given a walk, a wil.l pitch allowing the latter to score. Malioy was out via pitqher to first and Sullivan sent an easy fly to the first baseman. During the third and fourth rounds Seifert settled down to earth, and the side was retired in one, two, three order, only six batters facing him in these two innings. In the fifth round, after fanning the first two men that faced Seifert, Sulli­ van laced out a fast grounder between first and second, which looked good for at least two bases, but Scully, after a hard run, stabbed the sphere in his bare hand and had his man by five feet, but Hennesy, who apparently isn't used to such fast plays, dropped^the pill W^hen it was handed to him by Scully. This bad play again put the local twirler up in the air and Sullivan stole second while Ryan was passed to first . Brug geman, with two men on bases, stepped np to the plate with a stick that had a hit in it and as « result Sullivan scored and Ryan was safe at third. Reed then put a hot one down to Scully, of which the baseman made a mess, Ryan going 'home ou the deal, while Bruggeman was safe at third. Reed stole second and both base runners came home a moment lat£r ou Kean's two-base hit. The latter was caught a moment later when he tried to steal third. During the sixth and seventh innings, after Seifert had again regained con­ sciousness, the Olivers were again blanked in one, two, three ordef. Reed opened the eighth round with a three base hit aud came home on Keau's single- Wynkoop was safe at- first on an error by Seifert and immediately stole second, Kean going home during the melee. In trying to catch Wynkoop at third Cook missed the throw and the base runner trotted home with the tenth and last tally of the «^iy. Con­ verse struck out, Ramey flew out to left field, but Malioy was safe ou Bending's error. Sullivan ended the inning by sending a grounder to the pitefeer and was easily retired at first. MeHenry's lone tally was registered during the sixth inning. Bending sent a grounder down to second base which was too hot for Ramey to handle. Cook slashed out a single, advancing Bending to third. Hennesy struck out and Wil­ son put one in the same place that Bend ing did, and the captain came home with the tally which saved them from a shut­ out. Mittlestadt flew out to left field, while Lyons was out on strikes.

REDS GO DOWN. Ob; Snnday afternoon at the local grounds the faus had the extreme pleas­ ure of witnessing one of the best, as well as most fiercely fought games of the seasou, when the locals downed the Woodstock Reds after an extremely hard, uphill fight. The Reds, as predicted in last week's issue, were over for revenge, but again they f4Ued. They had brought with them Boyle and Stewart to do the bat­ tery work. Boyle i-i an old Oliver play­ er and has- won many a victory for teams he has pitched for. Stewart, the receiving eud of the battery, is a well known Chicago back stop, having at one time helped out the Chicago White Sox when that team 's catcher* were all on the hospital list With a battery like thin workinir Tigjinstonr Weber- BoHWorth combination the game could not help but be interesting. In fact, it was a pitcher's battle thruout, with honor* quite evenly divided, Mich pitch­ er allowing five hits. '. , • • The Reds scored.their three runs in oue inning, the fourth. McGee, the first man up in this round, secured a home run on a hit that would, as a rule, not have been good for over two bases. The hit* went directly over the third base bag aud after it had pa*sed the sack took a bound out towards the trees near left field. Thinking the ball was a foul, the fielder made no attempt whatever to head off the runner, but just simply held onto the sphere. After the noi*H jiad died away, the umpire rendered his verdict in bis usual cool manner; saying that the ball was fair, and thus a home rim Was registered. Brown then pushed the pigskin ont for three Hacks. In an attempted sacrifice, Burger put. one down to Felsenthal and was easily disposed of at first. Brown still dintrinir to the third bag. Bur- bridge also attempted to *acrifice and put the pill down to Bending, who pick ed ii 11 the Via 11 iu a great hurry and slam toed it home to eaten Brown at the plate, but the throw was a trifle high and both runners were safe Burhridge was a tnouieui later allowed to score when Riedesel put a fast grounder thru Scully. Sherman flew out to Scully and Boyle sent a grounder down to Bending, giving the fielder an easy chance to double Riedesel at second. The Reds were never dangerous after this round. The Bines opened up the co*)t«at by scoring twice in the first. Scully was passed, stole second and came home when Bowler put a hot grounder thru McGee at second. Bowler stole second and came home on Bending's hit. Bend­ ing. in trying to steal second, was canght between the two bases. Ulrich was safe at first on Boyle's error, but all chances of scoring were again put to the bad when felsenthal and Cash were victims of the strike out boy. Another pair of tallies came iu during the third inning. Scully hit safely. Then Bowler planted one down to Bur­ ger; but the latter made a wild throw to first, the ball going about 'steen miles past first, the error letting Scully score aud putting Bowler on the third pillow. Bending struck out, after which the squeeze play was successfully accom­ plished for the first time on the local grounds. W ith Ulrich, who is a pretty sure hitter, at bat. Bowler started to go with the swing of the pitcher's arm and arrived home safely when the batter pushed the ball down the first base line for an out Felsenthal shot oue down to Boyle and was easily retired at first. For the succeeding four innings the locals were blanked. , f THE 8O0HE McHENRY. Scully. 2nd b Bowler, If »• lU'iitlhiK- I' Iricti. 1st. b, I elsentlinl. »rd b CHSII, rf... h appier, cf .

At a recent meeting of the MeHenry County Automobile club it was decided to hold a one-hundred-mile "run on October 1.

But now the thing is some­ what changed, aud, on the other plan, with powder on her cheeks, the dear goes out and gets the man. Miss Elizabeth Condell. who resides near Roundout, Lake county, works a sixty five acre farm. Miss Condell is fifty-five years of age and does as much work in one day as the best of farm hands are capable of doing. There is a movement among hunters in Wisconsin to obtain legislation next session which will require fishermen as well as hunters to pay license. The hunters assert that as the law now stands they are taxed for the support of game wardens and the protection of game, while the anglers, who get the same benefits, pay nothing. They fail to see the justice of the present law in this respect.' Lake Geneva Herald: We had the privilege of seeing a complete rainbow --«>ach end apparently resting on the earth -last Wednesday afternoon as the 5:15 passenger train wa< flying along between Terra Cotta and MeHenry at 70 miles an hour. It was a most beau­ tiful sight, for the bow seemed to be perfect in^every particular. Parts of rainbows are frequently seen in' this section, but ooinplete hows are teen but seldom. The occupants of the smoking com­ partment of one of the Elgin & Aurora electric ears were startled on Wednes day, when they discovered that a 16 foot boa constructor was also a fellow passenger. The snake succeeded in getting out of its cage and coiled itself around one of the passengers. The trainer, who wis in the other part of the car, heard the commotion, and but for his' immediate assistance the man would have been crushed to death. After a few moments which seemed Hire hours the reptile was returned to its cage with two other creeping compan­ ions. People who attend the Illinois state fair this year will not have to buy tick­ ets. The open sesame to the fair grounds will be a silver half dollar, which will be dropped in the slot. When the visitor approaches the turn­ stile he will see to it that he has his half dollar ready, he will take bis place in front of the turnstile and band the half dollar to the man in charge, who will drop it in the slot, and then and not till then, will the gate swing open. The new automatic turnstiles, which were invented and constructed for the Illinois state board of agriculture, were made in St. Louis and are now ready for shipment. It will be remembered that the cash plan was used in the St. Louis world's fair and waR not wholly successful. It is said that, the system adopted by the state board of agricult­ ure has been tested and found practic able and correct. Hebron Tribune: On Tuesday after­ noon Dr. E. Herrick experienced an ac cident with his auto which might hav? resulted seriously. He was enjoying a trip around Twin Lakes, accompanied by his wife and Mrs. Jfary Stewart and Mrs. Robinson." While ascending a steep hill on the east side of the lakes the engine gave ont and the machine started backwards down the hill. He attempted to stop it, but the brakes failed to work When near the foot of the hill the machine left the road and went into the ditch, turning over on its side against some trees. The glass front of the machine was smashed, the lop badly damaged and some other damage done to the machine. Mrs. Herrick jumped when the machine tipped, and sustained a sprained ankle, while the doctor was somewhat cut by flying glass. The other occupants of the car escaped without injury further than a severe shaking up. It was, in­ deed, fortunate that no more sarioas in­ juries were sustained. (7nlyer*ali*t Chnrch. Rev.

BORDEN'S PRICES. (M*l Factory Contracts a Largs Amount of Milk. Last Wednesday was contract day at the several Borden factories about this vicinity. At the local factory the farm­ ers were on hand to sign contracts for the coming six months and, judging from the broad smiles that adorned their countenances as they stepped from the office, they were all well pleased with the prices for .the win­ ter months. Quite a number of new dairies were taken on at the MeHenry plant, and during the coming six months more milk will be handled than at any time during the history of the factory. This, as is only natural, will require more help, and a number of new hands will be taken on by October 1. The new addition to the factory is practically completed and the machinery is being moved into the new part.

Friday Joseph Bishop passed away at his home in this village last Friday morn­ ing after an illness of only two days. Joe, who, with his brother, Lewis, conducted a barber shop On Water street, attended to his duties in the shop up to within two days previous to his death, when he was suddenly taken vio­ lently ill and passed away at about three o'clock last Friday morning, Sep­ tember 14. * The deceased was born in MeHenry thirty-four years ago. When yet quite young he learned the barber's trade and had worked at it up to the time of his .death.

At Long Lake last Sunday the locals defeated Stanton's Colts by a score of 9 to 1. Harvard defeated1 the Genoa, 111., team at Harvard last Sunday by a 10 to 4 score. The fans are longing to see the Oliv­ ers over. Can they have that pleasure, Mr. Manager? The Elgin White Sox Won the ama­ teur championship of Elgin last Sunday by defeating the Elgin Iroquois to the tune of 5 to 1. The White Sox will oppose the MeHenry Blues next Sunday. The Irish Prairie team defeated the Cherry Valleys on the latter's grounds last Sunday by a score of 15 to 7. Bat­ teries lor Irish Prairie: Howard, Gra- cy: Cherry Valley: JBolger, McAndrcws. Scully's pick-up of Stewart's hard drive in the seventh was one of the fin­ est ever seen on the home grounds, but they're beginning to get quite common with him. He is certainly a second Evers. ' The three Thurlwells, Eld., Fred and John, are playing a great game of ball at Rock ford. In a game there last Sun­ day Ed and John were the opposing pitchers, the latter winning out over "Capt. Tack" t>y a score of 3 to 2. Dur­ ing the game Ed allowed his opponent only three hits, while John pitched a two hit game. Fred Thurlwell plays right field for the team "Jack" pitches for. - GAME NEXT SUNDAY. The fans will be pleased to learn that another game has been arranged for with the Elgin White Sox. The last time this team played here the locals won opt by a score of 1 to 0, but it took fourteen long innings to decide the eon- test. In fact, it was th$ longest game ever played in MeHenry. For the vis­ itors it was a hard game to lose and next Sunday they are coming to Me­ Henry for revenge. With this inten­ tion In mind, Manager Matthews is now putting together a team that will make the locals fight every inch of the ground to win. If you have not seen the locals in action you bad better turn out next Sunday, as the season is fast coming to a close. The game will be called promptly at 2:45 p. in. Ad­ mission. gentlemen, 25 cents; ladies and •children, 10 cents. Everybody turn out and see a good game. Just get the hab it, that's all.

It took several stitches to close up the wound, Dr. D. G. WeUs doing the work. The clam chowder dinner given at- Brewers' Grove last Monday proved a very successful as well as enjoyable affair. A large crowd was in attend­ ance and a most pleasant day was spent by all present. Great praise is due those who had the matter in charge for the way in which they banqueted and entertained tbe guests. The ball game and dance at the Lily Lake park last Snnday was very well attended. The ball game was won by the Woodstock White Sox, the Wau- conda Leaders beinsc defeated by the score of 6 to 2, after a hard and stub­ born struggle thruout. After the ball game dancing was indulged in on the large pavilion, Hspke s orchestra of Libertyville furnishing the music.
