Come to the place where the rich and poor 3jingle in perfect harmony, where old nd young enjoy themselves, where the best of dance floor may be found and dance to firsticlass music.

Tickets, J.ip.Sf0rouBTT,Fm)fc Northrop, of Woodstock, and will move to that city early next week. A young son of James Dowel), of Yolo, was accidentally killed by a pis­ tol in the hands of a comrade one day last week. Wm. L. Smith, of Ringwood, has pur­ chased the residence of A. A. Martin, in this village, and will occupy the same as soon as Mr. Martin moves out. J. Oatman & Sons, of Dundee, brought to this village on Tuesday last one huudred swarms of bees, and have located them on the farm of Henry Mead, just west of the village. People who were deluded by the Sul­ try atmosphere of last Friday into ex­ changing their winter for their summer clothing, were down on their knees on Monday morning--not in penitence, bat looking to see where the mercury in the thermometer had gone to. . At Bennett's photograph gallery in this village, one day last week a group was taken that represented five gener­ ations, viz: a child three months old, its mother, grandmother, great-grand­ mother and great,-gieat-«randipother, the latter being over #0 years of atje. The picture was a remarkably good one when we take into consideration the fact that it is very difficult to get a good picture of a group where there is so much difference in age. O. W. Owen has been repairing two watches the past week that have a pe­ culiar history One is owned by M. M. Chase, of Ringwood, and was lost by him while husking corn fourteen years ago. The ground has been cultivated each year since, the watch never com­ ing to light until last August. It was badly rusted but Mr. Owen has put it in good running order, and to look at it one would never think it had been buried fourteen years. The other one was lost and lay in the ground about one year, and Mr. Owen has also put it in good running order. The World's Best Climate is not entirely free from disease, on the high elevations fevers prevail, while on the lower levels malaria is encountered to a greater or less extent, according to altitude. To overcome climate affections, lassitude, malaria, jaundice, biliousness, fever and ague, and general, debility, the most effective remedy is Electric Bitters, the great alterative and blood purifier; the antidote for every form of bodily weakness, nervousness, and in­ somnia.

The "Just Us" club, composed of about thirty young ladies of McHenry, announces a leap year May party to be given at Stoffel's hall on Saturday even­ ing, May 33, and a cordial invitation is extended to the general public to attend. This is the second time this year that the young men of McHenry and vicinity have been offered a good time at the hands of the young ladies, and those who were fortunate enough to receive invitations at the former dance found out that the ladies of our town do not do things by halves. Metzger's Wood­ stock orchestra will furnish the music, and yon all know what* that means. The floor will be in cha^Vc^he follow­ ing young women: fWest McHenry, Mrs. E. F. M"^hewp/ McHenry, Mrs. C.

Dance tickets are only 50 cents. Re­ member that dancing begins early and be sure to call for the fellows in plenty of time for them to get their gloves and hats on straight A Californlan'tf Luck. "The luckiest day of my life was when 1 bought a box of Bucklen's Ar­ nica Salve;" writes Charles F. Budahn, of Tracy, California. Two 25c. boxes cured me of an annoying case of itching piles, which had troubled me for years and that yielded to no other treatment." Sold under guarantee at N. H. Peteech's drug store.

June 11 WHEN HENS ARE GAME. , * ifc ^tWrj^ SfiJfral Tall. Wj " jiay be Shot. Chicken owners and thote who aire not chicken owners but whose neigh­ bors are will kindly sit up and pay attention, says the Rockford Star. Attorney General Stead in a decision handed down at a recent date, holds as follows: That chickens when they wander away from their owner's premises, meaning their own private bug hunting grounds, and take to tearing np Mr. Neighbor's newly made garden become wild birds. That having become snch, and taking it for granted^-that Mr. Neighbor has become a wild man, and is willing to go to extremes, in order to square accounts, they may be shot. That having been shot, without re­ gards to what particular portion of the anatomy the- piffled at, Mr Chicken Owner is without recourse in law. Of course he way tell Mr. Neighbor what he thinks of him, or, if he is will­ ing to take chanceB on police court publicity, he may lick Mr. Neighbor, but he cannot sue. This decision is of particular impor tauce especially to those who do not own chickens but have gardens under cultivation, and it looks like a safe bet that some one will give it a try out. As for chicken owners who are not as careful of their egg producers as they might be, there is but little to say ex­ cept: "Keep your chickens at hbtne." What may be done in case the neigh­ bor's family horse gets loose and rolls on the neatly kept front lawn, or if the cow lunches off the tulip bed, or the kids "raise ned" in general remains to be determined. The attorney general has not been requested to say. It Reached the Spot. Mr. E. Humphrey, who owns a large general store at Omega, O., and is pres­ ident of the Adams County Telephone Co., as well as of the Home Telephone Co ,of Pike County,O., says of Dr. King's New Discovery: "It saved my life once. At least I thiuk it did. It seemed to reach the spot--the seat of my cough,--when everything else failed." Dr.King's New Discovery not only reaches the cough spot; it heals the sore spots and the weak 8pots in throat, lungs and chest. Sold under guarantee at N. H. Petesch's drug store. 00c. and $1.00.

Many sudden deaths are caused by it--heart dis­ ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid­ ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poison­ ed blood will at­ tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel­ ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer'g Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over- Comes Uiat unpleasant, compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most, distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil­ mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp- Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.
