Pretoria, Plymouth, England, May 8,1007. To the Editor: The trip to New York being uneventful, will omit mentioning. We met in New York as per schedule on Wednesday evening, April 24. Tbe steamer being due to sail on Saturday, April 27, it gave us nearly three days to see New York, of which we took every advantage, and will endeavor to «aa:iierate some of the points of inter­ est visited during our stay there, the most noted being the aquarium, the Brooklyn bridge, St. Peter's church on Barkly street, the coo or Bronx park, Tamany Hall, and last, but not least, Tom Shafky's place, opposite Tamany Hall, Madison Square and Union Square, the most notable being the Brooklyn bridge, the height of which will per­ mit the passing under it of the largest ships at the highest point, the exact center of the bridge. There is provision made for expansion and contraction, or we might call it give and take. The movement of the bridge at feis point is between three and four inches. We will endeavor to give some idea of the traffic across the bridge by saying that we timed the trolley cars passing a giv­ en point, which was one every ten sec onds. Then came the third rail trains, consisting of fiye coaches to each train, which ran thirty seconds apart, besides all the team and auto traffic. All this, besides its own weight, is carried by four massive cables from the top of the bridge. A splendid view is had of New York and Brooklyn, the New York har­ bor, the statue of Liberty and the New Jersey shore. On Saturday, April 37, at 4 p. m , we -tailed, the first five days being ideal. After that the weather was very unset­ tled, rainy and rough. Both of us stood the trip well, being in the best of health and spirits. The routine on board is as follows: Arise at 5:80 a. m., coffee at 6, then salt water bath, breakfast at 8, beef bouillon at 10, open air concert 10 to 11, dinner at 12:80 p. m., coffee and lunch at 3, supper at 6, concert from 9 to 10, after which a pipe of peace, lunch and retire.

Saw remnant of the late war telling Dentschman he was the only survivor; now working for a machine company, carrying a full complement of jack- screws, trymo8, Stiison vises and numer­ ous other articles, exospting good sense and gray matter.

Saw the man who thinks he looks like Emperor William trying to fathom the oontents of a beer keg. And iast, but not least, saw the an tire crsw lined np for tips. C. H. Fbgebs, WM. STOFFEL.

It has not as yet been decided where the banquet will be held but the committee in charge llope to be able to report definitely with­ in afew days. Untrue Reports. After reading the false report of the shoo'ing affair that took place near this village on Monday, May 13, as printed in several of the papers of the surround­ ing towns, we cannot refrain from de­ nouncing the story, in part, as false. We have personally known Newell Colby from boyhood to the present time and he as well as his family are hehf in the highest esteem by the citizeqa of, McHenry and surrounding country, j , Methodist Church Services. " Memorial Snnday will be observed next Snnday at the Methodist church. Tbe sermon in the morning will be in accord with tbe idea of the day.

E. H. Pastor. A Miscellaneous Assortment of New* Items In Condensed Form For Conven­ ience of Busy People. According to the Waukegan Gazette the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric will extend its lines to Fox Lake next year. On and after June t, the barbers of Waukegau will receive fifteen cents for each shave. This includes the neck shave. Friday, the fourteenth of June, will be the one hundred, thirtieth anniver sary of the birth of the flag of the Unit ed States. John A. Dvorak of Algonquin, while hunting crows near Spring Lake recent ly, shot a full grown fox. This is the first fox shot in the county in a long time. Ten physicians of Evanston recently paid a visit to the Bowman Dairy com­ pany's plant at Nunda and pronounced the products of that company absolute­ ly pure and wholesome. It is reported that Ed Howard bas rented Howard's Miueola hotel at Fox Lake to a Mr. Jewett of Chicago for A term of five years at a rental of |5^00 per year.

Try it. Sold at N. H. Petesch's drug store. The Libertyville village board recent­ ly passed an ordinance regulating tbe number of saloons that can run in Lib­ ertyville. The ordinance states that there can be seven saloons as now legal­ ly licensed, but there shall not be any more until such time as the village grows sufficiently so that they can be increased at the ratio of one saloon for each 500 inhabitants. Thus before there can be eight saloons in Libertyville it must have a population of 4,000. Then with each succeeding 500 residents a aew saloon can be licensed. This ef­ fectively stops any more saloons from starting for some years, as the village mast double in size before another can enter business. Nunda Herald: A large real estate deal was closed in Algonquin last week when the Chicago Bureau of Charities purchased a 20 acre piece of land from Albert Wilbrandt for thp sum of $850 per acre. The deal was fnade thru B. C. Getzelman. This piece of land has a fine river frontage and is considered one of the most picturesque spots along Fox river. It is located about two miles north of Algonquin. In all probability work on the new buildings will be com menced next month. Three cottages will be erected with twelve or more room« each, and in these bnildings chil dren of the poor of Chicago will be quartered in the summer and given an outing on beautiful Fox river. Let me mail to yon, to prove merit samples of my Dr. 8hoop's Restorative and my book on either Dysyepsia, The Heart or Tbe Kidneys. Address me, Dr Shoop, Racine, Wis. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of yonr ailment, and not the cause. Weak Stomach nerves -the inside nerves--means Stomach weakness, always. And the Heart and Kidneys as well have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves and you inevitably have weak vital or­ gans. Here is where Dr. Sboop's Re­ storative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the "inside nerves." Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or complexion, nss Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Write for my free book now. Dr. Shoop's Restorative sold by N. H. Petesch. Richmond Gazette: Quite a bad rail­ road wreck occurred on the C. M. & St. P. railway at Spring Grove yesterday morning about 8:80 o'clock, when seven cars from a fa»t stock freight jumped the track between Cole's crossing and tbe depot, with the resnlt that several head of live stock were killed and a brakeman was slightly injured. Tbe train was running at between 40 and 50 miles an hoar when tfae accident oc­ curred, the cause of which is attributed txui broken truck under one of the cars. Fonr stock cars, two refrigerator cars and one car carrying a large oil tank were in the smash up, and as far as we have been able to learn between thirty and forty head of hogs, about thirty calves and one horse were killed and several other bp&d of live stock injured. Both refrigerator cars were loaded with cheese and one of these was badly smashed, the contents being profusely distributed about the soene of the wreck. The stock cars and the car car­ rying tbe oil tank were also badly dam­ aged, some of the cars being almost entirely destroyed. Word was sent to Chicago soon after the mishap occurred and about 2 o'clock a wrecker and wrecking crew arrived on the soene and by evening the track had been repaired and made passible and the worst of the bad been cleared away.
