The capture of the two Chicago men at Fox Lake Saturday afternoon while they were attempting to get rid of a batch of counterfeit quarters threw the federal authorities of Chicago into a state of excitement and a feeling pre­ vails that thru the efforts of wideawake Fox Lake men a gang of clever counter­ feiters in Chicago may be run down, says the Wankegan Gazette The men took « large quantity of counterfeit quarters to the village, be­ lieving that by working some of the many slot mschines which operate there they could get back good money, and the machines would thus hide the bad money. Tiiey were watched by Fred Born, however, and he concluded that some­ thing was wrong when he saw that tftey were using quarters and nothing else iu operating the machines After passing the word to Otto Mnehrcke, Pres. J G. Brown and A. lierg they started alter the men, and the Chicago crooks at once made for the tracks, running toward the bridge that crosses a neck of the Fox river. They were fleet of foot but the Fox Lake men soon had them. Word was sent to the federal depart ment at Chicago and Deputy Marshal Warren Wilmot of Wankegan went to Fox Lake and t<n>k the men to ( hicago.

The men had over $125 worth of the bogus quarters «.n their persons when arrested, and they threw away into the the lake what appeared to be much more than that amount when they were making for freedom.

The local Borden factory contracted for ita winter's supply of milk at its plant here last Thursday morning, the average price to be paid during the i coming sit months being $1.01}, 21 f J cents higher than was paid last year. The milk price' question was more seriously discussed by the local dairy men this year than ever before, because of the back wardness of the season and the high price of all fodder and grain. However, after the books had been opened aud the prices announced, the dairymen were not long in signing up The prices for the coming six months compared with those for the same time last year are as follows: 1906 1907 $180 October $1.55 1--W November 1.65 1-50 December 1.65 1.50 January 1.65 1 40 February 1.85 180 March 1.55 |1 40 Average $1.611 At Dnndee and Elgin the farmers were some time in signing the contract, but before the day had closed nearly all the old patrous had sigued. At Hnut- ley the three local milk companies, Bor­ den's, Cornell Brothers and Victor May, offered the same prices fof milk, to the general surprise of the dairymen, who expected to see competion prices prevail.

The Woodstock Ked woods and Bor den Eagles of this place clashed on the baseball field at Lily Lake part last Sunday afternoon. The game proved a dull and uninter­ esting event and was witnessed by a very small crowd. Bending's pitching pro veil too hard a proposition for the county seat boys to aolve and they gave up in despair long before the ttiuth in­ ning had arrived. The score at the end of the contest stood 14 to 2, with the Milk Bottlers holding down the heavy end. The two runs secured by the Woodstockites were gifts, both c< ming thru unexcusable errors. Bepdfng struck out in the neighborhood of sixteen men while Smith, the Redwood tlinger, is credited with having made fifteen of the Eagles fan the atmosphere. Smith pitched fairly good ball, but his support was something awful at times.

The local baseball fans will be given one more opportunity to see the locals in action before the season closes, and this opportunity, weather permitting, will be on next Sunday afternoon, when the North Ends of Evauston, champions of the North Shore, will be in McHenry to try conclusions with the Blues. All the old faces will be seen in the local line-up, with Weber, the old reli able, in the pitcher's box. The infield will be about the same as that of the 1906 team, with Ulricb, Scully, Kap pier and Bending hording the first, sec ond, third and short positions, respec tively. McDonough of Elgin will, all probability, be at the receiving end of the battery, while the outfield will be looked after by three good men, who as yet have not been decided upon, but the fans are given every assurance that the outfield will be equally as strong as that of the 1906 team. The game will be called at 2:30 p. m sharp. General admission, 25 cents children, 10 cents. Permanent buildings for the summer hospital near Algonquin are to be at once constructed.

Woodstock Sentinel: The large barn on the Long farm, a few miles from Woodstock, burned to the ground last Thursday evening. The cause of the fire is a mystery, but the accepted the­ ory is that spontaneous combustion oc­ curred in the loft. The big barn was full of bay and grain, but luckily most of the cattle were in the fields. About 800 bushels of oats and 75 tons of hay were destroyed. A bull and several calves also succumbed in the flames. The loss is a severe one for both R. J. Long, the owner of the buildings, and Edward Long, the tenant The build­ ings were insured for $1800.

"Can a member of the Modern Wood men society take a drink of liqnor, and if so how many cau he take without losing his rights in the insurance com pany?" This is a question which will be decided iu the courts of Kane county at Aurora, says an exchange. Some months ago Thomas Rogers, a windo-v dresser, died iu Aurora. He was insured in'the Modern Woodmen for $2,000 Mr. Rogers is alleged to have enjoyed s drink of liquor once in a while and the company refused to pay the insurance money, claiming he was intemperate. Bowever, attorneys who have been re taitied by the heirs of Rogers contend that the officers of the insurance society knew that he had a liking for an occa­ sional glass of beer and that for ten years they accepted his monthly assc ment and are liable for the policy. In the Modern Woodmen policy, as in nearly every fraternal insurance com­ pany in the land, is a clanse which says the fraternity is exempt when the holder is intemperate, and the question involved in this case will be most interesting to hundreds of thousands in this state who hold policies in other companies. This case will be fought thru to the supreme court for a decision. Visit our special 5c and 10c counters. Yon may find something yon want.

Qui Vive, who writes entertain ingly and chattily on beauty and other feminine topics in the Chicago Record Herald, has recently returned from Paris, where she went to study beauty as the French see it. It is safe to say that it will take her a year to give her readers all the new ideas she gathered abroad. Feminine readers will be glad to learn that these are to appear from time to time in her well known depart ment, "The Woman Beautiful," in the Record Herald. The immense popular ity of Mme. Qui Vive's articles is large­ ly due to the fact that her advice is of real value to women and is given i delightfully original style. Even mere men are known to read with secret chuckle the piquant epigrams with which she heads her column every morning. Her wholesome and remark­ able versatility have made her an eager­ ly looked for visitor in thousands of American homes.
