B. HARMSEN, Town Clerk. A CITY MEAT MARKET. On Wednesday afternoon of last week Eugene F. Matthews, the hustling West Side meat dealer, threw open the doors of his elegant new quarters recently completed on the north side of Main street. The building, a brick fire-proof structure, occupies a space 24x85 feet, two stories and. basement. The market is easily the finest in Mc­ Henry county and will favorably com­ pare with the city market of today. The cooler and fixtures, which are of the white tile effect, were furnished by Wolf, Sayer A Heller of Chicago and are of the very latest. One of the especially pleasing features, and one which is practically a new one to the country, is the refrigerating machine, which is located in the basement and takes the place of an ice box. The machine is driven by a five horse pow­ er .electric motor and is operated from one to two hours every day. This keeps the temperature in the cooler at about the freezing point at all times altho a much lower temperature could be made possible if desired. Three largfe tank*; twelve feet long, twenty- two inches high and a foot wide, occu­ py the space above the cooler where the ice is generally kept. .The water in these tanks is frozen constantly, making up a total of three thousand pounds of ice. The sausage depart­ ment is located in the extreme north end of the building and occupies a room 24x25 feet in dimension. This is a light, sanitary room. The space be­ tween the cooler and sausage depart­ ment is used as a store room. The second floor of the structure has not been fitted up as yet, but may be put to use for almost any purpose. All told, we believe that the West Side market is the most up-to-date business house of its kind in this part of the state. The genial proprietor will be pleased at any time to show his friends and customers thru the place. UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOOKS. When Mr. A. M. Shelton was elect­ ed to the important office of county superintendent of schools he firmly believed that he could do no act that would be of greater benefit to the school children of this county than to establish a system of county uniformity of text botius. Acting upon this faith he called the attention of ",e superin­ tendents and principals of 'ie county to the needs of such a system and at their January and February meetings various books were discussed and the following were recommended: Arith­ metics, Smith; readers, "Graded Liter­ ature." It was deemed advisable to change only two books this year. The books selected above have practical 1 v the unanimous endorsement of teach­ ers, principals, superintendents and county superintendents. The entire plan of adoption, its value to school organization and supervision, as well as a means of reducing to considerable extent the cost of the education of children* will be presented in the col­ umns of The Plaindealer within a short ITEMS CLIPPED FROM FLAINDEA1EK OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. Our publiospchool closes on Friday of this week for a two weeks' vacation. Will Phalen is the happiest man in this town. It is a boy and arrived Saturday last. ' A son arrived at the home of Chris Nickels on Friday. Who says our pop­ ulation is not increasing? The steamer "Maimie" is now mak­ ing trips to Fox Lake almost daily for the accommodation of hunters and others. H. C. Mead took in another boarder one day last week. 1 he young lady will probably make that her future home. Weight, 84 pounds. Last week all three of the barber shops in this village were closed on account of the sickness of the proprie­ tors. In consequence quite a of unshaven faces were seen on our streets. We understand that a general store is to be started at Terra Cotta this spring. The building will be put up as soon as the weather will permit. A lso that quite a number of residences will be buiit there. The trustee of Woodland cemetery have, we understand, closed a bargain with Willard Colby for three acres on the west side of the cemetery, for which they pay $400. The new pur­ chase will be graded, seeded and laid "Out into lots at an early day. Hunters are now in their glory and firing can be heard "all along the line" from early morn until late at night. From the number of ducks be­ ing brought in we should judge that shooting was good. One party of four who went down the river brought in one hundred and twenty-eight. A communication from the city of Houlton, Maine, dated March 10, states "we are having very cold weather. This morning mercury 28 below 0. Snow piled mountains high, and a prosppct of more. No western mail for four days. Cars snow bound. Thermometer has fallen to 38 below." Our two night watchmen, Messrs. Lincoln and Walsh, are doing a good work, and the consequence is our streets are more quiet during the night than formerly. Quite a number of arrests have been made and rowdies and evil doers are beginning to leu in that it is not safe to be found on the streets after regular hours. Henry Miller of Johnsburgh had his shoulder put out of joint on Monda y a f t e r n o o n w h i l e g o i n g h o m e f r o m t h i s village. He had left his team stand ing in the road while he was assisting another party who had broken do< x when they started to run away. c a u g h t h o l d o f t h e b a c k e n d o f t h e wagon and was thrown down, dislocat­ ing his shoulder and otherwise bruis­ ing him. The fair by the ladies of the Uui- versalist society, which was held at Riverside hall on Friday afternoon and evening last, was a success, both financially and otherwise. The fair was divided into two departments, the ladies in one and a number of girls of the Sunday school, under the direction of Miss Julia Story, in the other. The net profits of the entire fair was, we understand, $124.46. The ladies, including admission, cleared $74.33 and the girls $50.18. Geo. W. Besley and Isaac Went- worth had a narrow escape from drowning one day last week while fishing on McCollum's lake. They went up in the morning when the ice was safe, but in the middle of the day it thawed and when they started for home they found it dangerous. Before they got to the shore they both broke thru where the water was about 20 feet deep and it was only by a miracle that they saved themselves. They will go with a boat next time. KEEP TO THE RIGHT. It has been brought to the attention of the writer by an automobile owner that accidents on our public highways as well as on the rural highways can easily be averted if travelers would only heed the rules and regulations that cover "driving on public high­ ways." We are told that it is a com­ mon occurrence to see the occupant, or occupants as the case may be, of vehicles of every description take the wrong side of the thorofare when ap­ proaching an auotmobile. It is up to the driver to take the right side of the road unless conditions will not warrant doing so. Here in the village acci­ dents are very apt to take place at any time if drivers do not keep to the right side of the road. This not only applies to buggies and carriages, but to motor­ cycles and bicycles as well. The bi­ cycle and motorcycle riders appear to be even more careless in this matter than do the drivers of other vehicles, especially here in the village. A case of this kind was demonstrated on the business section of Green street on Tuesday of this week, when a boy on a bicycle came within an ace of being crushed beneath the wheels of an auto. The boy, who was riding in the middle of the road when he approached the auto, instead of taking the right hand side of the road, pulled into the left and the quickness of mind of the auto driver is the only thing that pre­ vented a serious misfortune. In case of an automobile and vehicle going in the same direction, and the auto wish- MODELS Professional, Society V' | &.nd Business Cards | DA VID G. WELL6 M. D.
