Waa Ito*» |a Brooklyn, MHk, Whfcrwwy St, |»71. , Harry Thomas Fuller was born to Brooklyn, Mich., Feb. 21, 1871, receiv­ ing his ^Looliiig Chelsea, where he lived until sixteen years of age. He then came to McHenry and here began the foundation for the busiueeH career which he since followed. For a number of years he clerked for John Evanson, and many of our citizens will-remember .friin with only the kindtist of thtmghts. About ten years ago be went to Wau conda and engaged in the mercantile bneincss for himself, and later op«n«<! a store m Volo( but had recently sold the latter, owing to bis ill health. In September, 18#5, he won unitod in marriage to Miss Hettie Went worth, d&aghtor of Xs«ac; Weutworth of this village Two children, Mary and Barry, blessed their union, who, with their mother, mourn the loss of one of earth's best men. He waa a member of Ibe Maeons, Woodmen and Odd FellrfWa and baa held important ofQ.-ial iiositions in each of these lodges. He had been a mem­ ber of the village board, village treas­ urer, vice-president of the Wauconda bank, and had only recently resigned the oftioe of president of the village board of Wauconda, to which he waft elected over a year ago. Daring hie administration as president the new village ball was erected. The following is, in sttbetanee, tin funeral address delivered by the Rev. John R Ball, pastor of the Methodist ohurch at Wanconda: I find that there is an influence ttuft exerts its force upon me whenever it be­ comes my portion to speak at snch an occasion as this. And that influence in the desire to conform what I say, some* what, to what I know wonld be the wish of the one concerned, had he or she known that It would become my office to stand at snch a time and place as this, and speak. And as yon and I knew Harry Fuller, we know that a lengtby«ncominm, however deservedly spoken, wonld be painful to the tbonght of such a man as he was. Therefore, I shall not attempt to say here all that might toe said. I do not come in the role of a professional speaker, but bear* ing within me just such feeimgn as yog would have, were you to stand in mjr place add speak. Probably there is to be found in oar very preeenee here; is our silent sorrow; in these flowers; ia the feeling that oar hearts now know, the beet expression of his worth thai shall be nade at this time. ~ We knew him as a man of anremifc- ting activity. He believed and lived the goep^i of hard work. He waa only thirty wjren years of age. And yet he was oidei than that because he lived additional years into his thirty seven, he lived to folly what be did live. We know also that his active life did not wrap him np in a mantle of exclnsive- ttess. He was capable of including others in the plans and operations that engaged his life. The different public and private trusts that were imposed in Jfim testify to his ability to conserve the interests of others. These various activ­ ities exacted their claim of Mr. Fuller. He worked hard. Possibly it is in the thought of some of ua that his incestJant activity Vas partly instrumental in causing hip death. If so, does that mean that his life was wasted T No! The life that attains to God's breadth of purpose for it most undertake the things that are hard! Do only the things that are easy and yon are apt to engage in the service of evil, lor that akme is easy to do. But it was not necessary for him to take some public office in order to serve men. He met men as man to man and helped them. To all who met him at all in public life, this was the trait of character that endeared him to them the most--his generosity. It was native in him to snch an extent tsat he was possessed by the spirit of iklpfulness. Those who knew him needtl only to have suggested to them the f>f ttnre of a man ia need meeting him. The sequence comes at once to evi y mind. He waa always ready at snch times to find the depths of his pocket and help. There are also those elements of his memory that are now the most sacred inheritances of those Who monrn him most They are not to be made publie here. His useful life deepened bis thoughts until they penetrated to that fundamental basis of the right idea of society and all human life--the father­ hood of God and the brotherhood of IIP FOR STATE SENATOR HON. A. J. OLSON OF WOODSTOCK ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY. Ua* (starved IN the U(iiilat«iw, Mfu M«m Tim* m Member «»f th« Cfcieaffo City Hon. A. J.Olson of Woodstock is a candidate for the Republican nomina­ tion for state senator, from this, the eighth senatorial district, comprising the counties of McHenry, Lake and Boone. Mr. Olaon has a host Of friends thrn- ont the district, who wilt rally to hie support aa fast as they receive the news thai he is a candidate for state senator: He is very popnlar, and a genial, large hearted, likeable g*nitlemtw, who makes personal friend* of nearly all with whom be becomes acquainted. The kind heart edness and generosity of Mr. Olson to poor people is only one of his many good qualities. Should L E. Menteh of Cary decider to stay in the race there will certainly the city of Chicago, and in 1896 wa" again re-nominated and elected on the Republican ticket. In the Bpring of 1900 hrt was unanimously re-soniinsted for alderman, but went before the con­ vention and refused to again become a tuiiKiinnuj on uis extensive nusinesertBs terests required all of ^is attention. Mr. Olson has been a life long Repub­ lican and in the legislature of this state, and in the city council of Chicago, was acknowledged to be a fearless Republi­ can leader, and has always been found snppnrting the policies and principles of the Republican party. While Mr. Olson has been engaged In several stubbornly fought political bat­ tles, it is to his credit that he has never yet been defeated for any office for which he became a candidate. He is as fearless and vigorous a fighter as Theo­ dore Roosevelt. When he is a candi­ date he runs on his own merit and no clique or faction ever claimed to be able to control or dictate to A. J. Olson- He does what he believes to be ritrht regardless of political results, and be lieves in giving everyone a square deal. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES.

Mr. Olson has an ex­ tensive acquaintance in the three coun­ ties and mauy of the farmers of Lake, Boone and McHenry counties have for years shipped milk to Mr. Olson at Chi­ cago, and know him to be thoroughly reliable and honest, and it is believed that they will be unanimous in their support of Mr. Olson far the office he ia now seeking. Mr. Olson was born In Elgin in the year of 1865, and at the age of nine years went to Lee county in this state, where he worked as a farm laborer and attended school until be was seventeen years of age, When he went to the city of Chicago, then secured employ­ ment as the driver of a retail milk wagon. When twenty-one years of age A. J. Olson, by good habits and strict economy, had saved enongh money to purchase one horse and a small wagon with which he started a retail milk bus­ iness of his own, on a very small scale. By honesty and fair dealing be marie many friends and his business rapidly increased till he soon became one of the largest and most prosperous milk dealers in the city of Chicago, and continued in that business until two years ago, at which time he sold the greater portion of his business, which had been built up by hie personal efforts and strict integ­ rity until be transacted a business of about one half million dollars per year. About seven years ago he also estab­ lished a large factory at Capron, in Boone ooattty. which be continued to own and operate until two years ago. For nearly fifteen years he received all of the milk taken in at the Lake Zurich factory in Lake county, owned by Charles Patten of Palatine. Mf. Olson has been a resident of the city of Woodstock for nearly five years, where be owns a large dairy farm, on which is situated a costly and beautiful residence and grounds surrounding the same. Two years ago he also bnilt on this farm a large creamery, called the "Congress Northern Creamery," to Sup­ ply which he purchased from the farmers in the vicinity of Woodstock, large quantities of milk and still furnishes the Auditorium and Great Northern hotels of Chicago with milk and cream. In 1M93 Mr. Olson received the Repub­ lican nomination for the legislature in Cook county, and waa elected by a large majority, although bis district was then considered a Democratic district. He waa re-elected again to the legislature in 1995, but refused to become a candi­ date for re election in 18U7. In the spring of 1890, without solicita­ tion on his part, Mr. Olson was nomi­ nated and elected to the city council of His many friends of the north ward of the city of Woodstock induced him to become a candidate for alderman at the last April election, aud although one of the fiercest political battles ever fongbt in a city election in Woodstock was waged against Mr. Olson, he wae elected by a good majority over a very popular and influential business man, then on tbe board of alderman, and who had resided in Woodstock for many years before Mr. Olson became a resident of that city. For years Mr. Olson has been presi­ dent of the McHenry County Automo­ bile club, and is an enthusiastic an to­ rn obi list, bnt believes in a strict ob­ servance of tbe law against the fast and reckless driving of antomobilea. Petitions containing several hundred names were last week presented to Mr. Olson urging him to become the Repub­ lican candidate for state senator from this district, and believing with his leg­ islature experience at Springfield and in tbe city council of Chicago he could properly represent this district in tbe state senate at Springfield, Mr. Olson decided to become a candidate and reports from Woodstock, Harvard, Ma­ rengo and otber portions of McHenry conuty indicate that Mr. Olson will receive earnest and hearty support thru- out the entire county. lAke and Boone counties each have a candidate for the lower house, and by the nsnal custom that baa prevailed in this district for twenty years, McHenry couuty in entitled to the state senator- ship, aud there is at this time no candi­ date from this county for the lower house, and there is no candidate for state senator from either Boone or Lake counties This senatorial district has long needed a man of the Olson type to properly represent it in the state senate at Springfield. Mr Olson possesses tbe manliness and those sterling qualitiee that are bound to command tbe respect and admiration of every one with whom he couiee ia oontaet, either in private tor public. ' Tbe voters of this district can rest assured that if A. J. Olson reoeivee the Republican nomination for state senator from this district that at tbe end of four years they can truly say that no better state senator was ever sent to Springfield from this district than A. J. Olson of Woodstock. ^V » ^ i- - *• r v- ^ Having gone into business For myself 1 wish to announce that I am now pre­ pared to dp all kinds of teaming, ex­ cavating and grading.

Stephen Kaiser, a prosperous farmer living southeast of Woodstock, was almost instantly killed by a bolt of lightning early last Wednesday morn ing. H. B. Medlar, of the Medlar photo studios at Woodstock, has been signally honored by the Photographers' Asso­ ciation of Illinois, having been given the highest office in the association, that of state president. The Commercial clab of Marengo has decided to furnish a series of band con­ ceits this summer, the Elgin military band having been engaged. Arrange­ ments are also being made tor a cele- bration on the fourth of July. Tuesday seemed an unlucky day at the gravel pits. In addition to the aocl- dent at the steam shovel, the switch engine was derailed and a number of jpars were shoved over a steep embank- tnent on the sooth side of the pits. H. M. Anderson of Grasslake caught an eel last week that was six feet, three inches long and fourteen inches in cir­ cumference at the largest place on the Jbody. The eel was taken to Chicago to be mounted and placed in a museum. Nunda Herald: The barn on the old B. F. Peck .place, tenanted by George Kenk, was struck by lightning very early 'Wedneeday morning, and burned. No Ittock was lost. The barn was insured In the Nunda Township Mutual for f«0. The bishopric of the new and highly Important Roman Ca%»Hc diocese of Rot-k ford has been conferred upon jBishop Peter J.

Five freight cars and more than 500 feet of trackage were torn to pieces in a freight wreck at the ice houses just north, pf Carpeutersville on the Chicago & North Western road, shortly before 11 o'clock Friday night. One derailed car f sand was responsible for the wreck* which tied up traffic on the line until noon Saturday. Edward Bok, editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, baa <made a confession "Onceand for all," he says, "let me make it clear that I don't understand women. No man does, or can. The man who claims to understand them is an idiot." In view of the fact that tbe business of trying to understand women Is H>iitor Bok's specialty, his statement is discouraging and depressing. Talk about disagreeable weather in McHenry county. Compare it with tbe conditions in Colorado, indicated by the following bona fide local, clipped from Johnstown Breeze of May 7. The Breeze is. published in Weld county, Colo.: "James Davis took his sheep to Platteville Monday. The snow drifts I bothered them considerable all tbe way over, and the last 200 yards had to be shoveled before they could get the shsep into tbe pens," Nunda Herald: There was a wreck in tbe Cary gravel pits Tuesday, about 4 p. m. It seems about 30 empties were standing on the sidetrack when an engine, pulling empties, backed into them, setting them in motion, and they conld not lie stopped until they crashed into one of the steam shovels, tearing off the coal banker and piling up about eight of tbe cars, which were smashed into kindling wood. The wrecker was called ont and cleared np tbe muss. Nunda Herald: Tbe theatre train is ago. The run has been "bnlletined" by the North-Western, and when the eummer schedule goes into effect next Sunday tbe new late train from Chicago to Crystal Lake will be found on the time card. It will be a daily train, the Herald is informed, and will give our people an opportunity to visit the theatre, the parks, attend a lecture, make an evening call on a friend, or attend any social affair in the city, and be able to get home tbe same night. Travelers reaching Chicago over other roads, too late to catch one of the early evening trains, will find tbe new train a great convenience. Now it's np to the public. If the patronage warrants, the train will donbtless be continued in­ definitely. If it does pay, the run will likely be discontinued Huntley correspondent to Nunda Herald: One of the freakiest of acci­ dents and at the same time one of tbe narrowest escapee from death ever known in this vicinity occurred at the old P. Judd farm. Eoos Conley alight ed from bis carriage bnt a few seconds before the rig was demolished by a fall- Ins: windmill. Conley drove to the Judd farm on a matter of business and stopped his horse beneath tbe windmill,' an Airmotor. Unhitching tbe animal, he led him to the barn. Hearing a crash as he entered the stable, Conley looked at the carriage as the big wind­ mill fell from its tower into the boggy. The carriage was completely demolish- #d, it being broken into kindling wood. Roy William Page, the fifteen-year- old son Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Page, passed away at the home of his parents, who reside west of town, at ten o'clock Monday evening from in­ juries received thru being kicked by a horse. The accident which proved fatal to the bright yonng man occurred at about 7:3G o'clock last Sunday evening, when Roy, with his older brother, Ray, had gone to the pasture to bring the horses home. The two were on their way to the barn $ifch the horses when one of the animals (a horse that, had always been a gentle one) without the least sign of a warning, suddenly kicked the little boy full in the stomach, the unexpected blow being a most vicions one. The young man was not tong in re­ gaining his feet and walked to the house, telling his parents that the blow did not injnre him much. Little was thought of the accident until about 0:30 o'clock that evening when the victim began to complain of a severe pain in the stomach. Medical attention was snmmoned at once and everything pos­ sible done to relieve him from the agony he was in. His condition grew steadily worse and notwithstanding the fact that medical aid was employed al­ most constantly, his bright yonng life departed to the glorious shore at about ten o'clock Monday night. The sad newti announcing hie death Tuesday morning came as a great shock to many admiring young friends and schoolmates. Roy wae a member of the 7th grade in tbe McHenry public school. He was an exceptionally bright young fellow, and a prime favorite among his mates at school. The tnneral services were held from the Methodist Episcopal chnrch at two o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) after­ noon, Prof. E. C. Fisher of Dnndee preaching the funeral sermon. A fitting tribute was paid bim by the school chil-5 dren who attended the funeral in a body, and who also contributed many beautiful flowers. Obitnary will appear in next week's issue.
