Granger is the auc­ tioneer. There is talk of a laundry being started in this village. Parties were here on Tuesday looking up the mat­ ter. it is no Chinaman, but a "Meli- can man." On Friday last, while cutting ice on the pond, a team belonging to John Meyers broke thru and came near be ing drowned. It was a cold bath, but they were rescued without injury. The McHenry Dramatic qlub, under the auspices of the McHenry Military band, are now rehearsing and will bring out in a few weeks the beautiful drama of "The Banker's Daughter." Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will pass as three of the coldest days of the winter, the thermometer ranging from 18 to 30 degrees below zerxy with a regular blizzard blowing ijgpjjjp the northwest. <&f- F. K. Granger bought of Martin Williams, on Monday last, five hogs that weighed 2,470 pounds, for which he paid him the handsome sum of $90.15. We think these were thtr best five hogs marketed in this section this season. Why is a newspaper like a pretty, woman? To be perfect it must be the embodiment of many types. Its form is made up. It is always chased, tho inclined to be giddy. It enjoys a good press; the more rapid the better. It has a weakness for gossip. Talks a good deal. Can stand some praise, and is awful proud of a new dress. John Myers, the "boss" ice man of this section, is now at work with a gang of men filling the ice houses at the brewery and the cold storage of Fitzsimmons & Evanson. He has al­ ready filled Robt. Schiessle's house, and we presume will fill the balance of the private ice houses in town as fast as he can get to them. They are gathering a very fine quality of ice, about 11 or 12 inches thick. On Wednesday night of last week R. Bishop's mill in this village was en­ tered by burglars and somewhere from five to ten dollars in change taken from the draw. Mr. Bishop did not know exactly the amount there. The same night the blacksmith shop of Nordquist & Weber was entered and a quantity of nails and a few other articles taken. While in this instance the actual loss is but a trifle, still it warns us that burglars are in our midst, and it behooves every man to prepare to ^".ve them a warm recep­ tion. No quarters should be shown these sneaking night prowlers. "Shoot them on the spot," is the best medi­ cine. Parties will send their money to Chi­ cago for dry goods and groceries and clothing and printing, etc., when they could do as well or better right here at home. But some of our business men are guilty of the same practice. They will give an order for printing to a glib tongued drummer who cuts 25 cents under home prices and then pay 50 cents express charges and spot cash for the job. This cutthroat way of doing business does not pay. When­ ever possible, buy at home, thus ob­ serving the golden rule. And this practice will be found pecuniarily prof­ itable also, for it keeps the circulating medium at home, where it may flow back into your till again. But beyond any selfish consideration, the business men, who pay the taxes and who build the churches and the schools houses and give their tim^ and means to the success and prosperity of a place, are fairly entitled to the patronage of the public.

TEACHER HAS AUTHORITY. A RECENT COURT RULING ON CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. In hearing a case in which charges of assault and battery were brought against a city superintendent by two boys in the eighth grade, the follow­ ing sound views were expressed by Circuit Judge Frank D. Ramsay of Henry county. "It must be admitted that a school teacher or superintendent of schools, having other teachers under his direc­ tion, stands in the relation of parent in law, and he has a right to adminis­ ter reasonable punishment upon a pupil who breaks the rules of the school and refuses to recognize the authority of the teacher. In my judg­ ment that is the first thing a pupil has to know; that is, that the teacher has authority, and the second thing for him to know is that he has got to recog­ nize it the same as he would recognize the order of a father in the household. There is no question in my mind that a teacher not only has control over a student during school hours, but he has parental control over that child on the school grounds and in a measure going to and from school. I do not think a school boy has a right to insult a school teaser on the grounds and be liable to punishment, and continue to insult across the street, just across the line from the grounds, and be free from punishment. It would be a mockery, in my judgment, to say that a squad of boys could stand on the school grounds and insult a teacher within the walls of the school building and the moment they see the teacher approaching them, seek to avoid liability by skipping away, one five feet, another ten, another twelve, just out of reach of the teacher's arm. If a teacher's authority can be disput­ ed by a lot of boys standing on the school grounds and on the street in that manner, we might as well turn the key in the school house doors. It is not the law; it is not right, and that is why it is not the law." SAVES TWO LIVES.

West Mchenry, III. - Telephone 47: CAN'T GET ICE CUTTERS AT LAKES OWNERS OF ICE HOUSES ARE WORRYING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET MEN. With ice plentiful for the first time this season, proprietors of ice houses in all parts of Lake county are sound­ ing a call for ice handlers and in most cases are getting- no results. Jobs of this nature by the hundred are going begging and there is no excuse why any able l>odied man can not find work if he really wants something to do. It is so difficult to get men to cut and haul ice thal"wages of $1.75 a day and l>oard are being offered and still very few appear to accept. The men who live in the vicinity of the houses get $*2.25 a day and their dinner, get­ ting their breakfast and supper at home. In cases where they work a little later they get their supper also. So difficult is it to get men that the price may be advanced still more, and this is something unheard of as far as the pay for ice handlers is concerned. Ice house owners arc desperate, how­ ever, as they fear that if they do not avail themselves of the present spell of cold weather that they may not have another chance this season, or at lea^st for some time. The cold spell of the past week has frozen the ice to a nice thickness for cutting, but a thaw is liable to ruin it at any time. The plea that a man cannot find work seems to be without foundations, as5 many men when offered work in the ice field have sniffed at it and then turned it down because they thought it was not quite as soft a snap as they would like to get. The police say that able bodied men who beg food should be refused and should be directed to the ice field where they can get work if they are so inclined.
