' HONOR FOR ONE OF OUR BOYS EXCHANGE CLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES. Capt. H. B. Perry Receive* Position In Utah Agricultural College. The following, taken from "Stwifettt Life," will be of interest to a great many of onr readers. "Student Life" is the official organ of the Utah Agri­ cultural college, at Logan, Utah, and is published monthly by the students. "The position just vacated by Cap­ tain Styer has been filled by Captain Howard R. Perry of tike Twenty-ninth infantry, U. S. "Captain Perry is a native of Illinois. His early education was received at Jennings Seminary and Aurora Normal school at Aurora, Illinois. 'In June, 1889, he entered West Point and was graduated in June, 1893. Upon graduating, he was commissioned sec­ ond lieutenant in the l?th infantry. He was promoted to first lieutenant in April, 1898. He went thru the Cuban campaign of 1898, and later served in the Philippines. In July, 1899, be was transferred to the 7th infantry. Lien- tenant Pdrry was promoted to captain in the 7 th in February, 1901, and in May of the same year he was trans­ ferred to the 29th infantry. "Captain Perry has already become popular among the students and towns­ people, and we hope bis stay with as will be a long and pleasant one " The position above referred to is that of commandant of cadets and head of the military department, being also professor of military science and tactics. In assuming his new duties, Capt. Perry still retains his position in the army. Owl Camp to Give Dane*.

AND A Mtfceellaneotts Assortment of Newi Item In Condensed Form For Conven­ ience of Bur People. Burglaries are reported in many of onr exchanges. The Woodstock Republican has re-' cently moved into a home of its own, a building erected expressly for a print­ ing office. ; * A Racine grocer foand a oobra in a bnnch of bananas one day last week. It was two feet long, and is now con­ fined in a glass jar. The carp' harvest is on over at Kosh konong and 'seems to be- larger than ever. Two carloads were shipped east as the product of a week's seining. W. S. Freeman shipped a carload of wheat to the Chicago market from Cary the past weafc, which is not a oommoi occurrence in this sectin of the country nowadays. , ' Dr. W. W. Pearoe is of the opinion that the itchsp prevalent in Waukegan is the Cubah (tern which was bought back from the warm countries by the soldiers at Fort Sherjdati. A huge witfer tank, having a capacity of 188,000 gallons, has just been finished and put in use at the Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock, being a part of the new sprinkling system installed thruout the works. Chas. T. Donovan of Woodstock has been appointed a deputy United States marshal in the office of United States Marshal Hoy in Chicago. He is well known thruout the county and his many friers extend their congratulations in securing a nice political job. It is semiofficially announced that Zion City will be opened to outside industry at once by the removal of the various restrictions that prevailed foi- merly, one of which was that Zion peo­ ple only must'be employed. The fact that Cornell Bros, pay 12 cents per hundred ponnds less than the Borden company for milk is said to have led farjners in the vicinity of Huntley to circulate a petition asking the Borden people to locate a plant at Huntley. ' * / Robt. Peacock, tenant on the Gosch farm in Aldeu, experimented with the growing of speltz the past season. From two acres he.harvested 86 bushels, and he is so well pleased that next year he will grow 10 acres. He says that it is among the best crops that a farmer can raise. The northern lake region can lay claim to only one woman hunter and she is to be foqad at Long Lake at the end of each week- She is as much on edge for the flying of the ducks as are male niinrods, but at present rabbits are taking up the greater part of her attention. Delegates representing 300,000 farm­ ers thrnont the West met in Chicago recently and held a conference. Their object is to force the price of wheat to $1 and to attack the grain handlers who force down and inflate prices. They will enlist the aid of the American Fed­ eration of Labor. Electrification of the lines of the Chi­ cago & North-Western railroad in Chi­ cago and outside of its limits tor a dis­ tance within a radius of fifty miles, is reported as being planned in connec­ tion with the construction and eleva­ tion work on the road and with the building of the new terminal and depot on the west side. Dennis Skelly, a "treaty'** in the pen­ itentiary at Joliet, made a sensational escape fjrum hts cell last Friday night. He made a saw out of ah old knife and for several weeks had been working on the bars of his cell. He escaped in his prison garb, leaping two stories to the gronnd. No .trace of him can be found. Labor is scarce in Waukegan and all of the manufacturers are advising their foremen to keep what men they have and not to get rid of them except in cases where dismissal is thq only step. At the mills men are eagerly sought and those employed have the guar­ antee of continued work as long as they behave, while wages are moderately good and certain, and it is easy for any­ one toget and keep a job in Waukegan now. That once popular fraternal organiza­ tion, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, is now in seriouB trouble as the result of an almost prohibitive in­ crease in rates. Wholesale withdrawals have been threatened, and the organiza­ tion in Wisconsin has gone to pieces. To remain in the order some bf the members would be compelled to pay $19 a month on a two thousand policy. It is alleged that many death losses have remained unpaid for the past five months. The officials of the grand lodge seem to think they can weather the storm, bqt others express grave doubth INTERNATIONAL 8TOCK SHOW.

The breeders have learned thft value of an award at this exposition and its teachings have encouraged many a new breeder to fit for the honor of an award. The feeders and fitters of individual steers have learned their lesson as to what it takes to carry home an In­ ternational ribbon and the efforts being put forth will bring some magnificent specimens of the feeder's art into the ring this year, while the car-load men who have been gradually gaining ground in their ambition for first place will give the old warriors a tussle for their lives This proof that the teach­ ings of the department of the exposi tion are bearing fruit is to be found in the markets this year where oiie or two car load feeders have been topping the market. - The sheep and hog feeders have at last awakened to the need of advanc­ ing their interests and there will be some spirited contests in the car load lots as between breeds in these divisions of the show. Some most interesting jading experiments are being conduct­ ed iii Jjoth sheep and hog car loads for 1906 and it will pay sheep and switie men from all over the conntry to sit np and take notice.

Watch the agricultural and local press for information concern­ ing this show this year and note the interesting new features tbtft call forth state pride in the winning of premiums both in college work and the work of breeders and feeders, and above all, look after your rates early. John A. Mlllat, John A. Miller, one of the first and oldest settlers or Johnsburgh, died un­ expectedly in that village Friday, Oct. 26. 1906.

Mr. and Mrs. Blake desire to extend their sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends who so willingly lent a helping hand during the sad days oc­ casioned by the death of their father. Joseph McAndrews. De%th has entered th^/home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Mc Andrews and taken their yoanvest child, Joseph, who de­ parted this life Thursday, Nov. 8, after a brief illness from membraneous croup. The little one was only eight years old and is the first in the family circle to cross the dark river. He had been ill bnt a few days, and only on the last day was his illness thought serious enough to keep him in bed. His death therefore comes as a severe shock to the sorrowing father and mother, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the en­ tire community, in thus snddenly being called upon to part with their darling child. The funeral services were held Saturday at *St. Patrick's church, and the burial was in the adjoining ceme­ tery. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. McAndrews thank the many friends and neighbors for their kind assistance in their days of.sorrow. They also thank the Ladies' Aid society of Cherry Valley for the beautiful flowers. ' 8parr«v an Outlaw- Prof. S> A Forbes, state entomolo­ gist for Illinois, after devoting over thirty years to the stndy of birds, de­ clares that the indictments against the English sparrow was properly taken, and the bird should be destroy ed. He is now telling the farmers' institute of each county in the state the results of bis observations, and his discoveries are attracting much attention. He has killed in alUO,000 birds, justifying his action by the knowledge that a saienti fic investigation of what birds ate w ould save the lives of multitudes of their kind. He is said to know more about birds than any other man ip the world. SOCIAL EVENTS OF WEEK PLEASANT HAPPENINGS OUR LAST ISSUE.
