Hi- It THAT'S APPRECIATION. is the business of a newspaper man to boom the village for all it is worth month after month and then see #100 worth of printing go out of the village because 10 cents can be saved by so doing. It is the business of the newspaper to give every local enter­ prise enthusiastic and frequent "send- offs" and then catch h beeause he failed to record the fact that some prominent citizen has had his wagon painted; to subscribe liberally to every public and charitable enterprise, ad­ vertise them for nothing, pay his own way to everything and then be called prejudiced and mean-spirited because a column is not devoted to that partic ular affair. Do you wonder that there are so many cranks in the newspaper business? It Is bound to make either a crank or a philosopher out of a man. A RIGID INVESTIGATION. The postmasters of the country are to be subjected to a rigid investigation by congress. The house committee on expenditures inpostofficeshas reported a resolution providingJor such inquiry. The committee is to ascertain how much actual time postmasters devote to the service of the department, their outside business affiliations, their polit ical activities and whether they are persofeally active in campaign work, especially with reference to the collec­ tion of political assessments. The local postmasters have never mixed in poll- Tics, but there are a few in the countrv who evidently do. Now is the time for lightning rodL Better let us figure wltB, you. Wm Stoffel. A compromise good roads bill which increases the license fees for automo­ biles, the money so collected to be spent for improved highways under the direction of a superintendent of roads in each county, was introduced iuto iu6 .house by the committee on roads and bridges. It is a substitute for four pending bills, each designed to revolutionize road building in Illinois. The super­ intendent is to classify the roads with a view of connecting the principal points in the county by an improved highway following the most traveled route. To insure uniformity, plans must be approved by the state high­ ways commission. At present nearly $4,500,000 in road taxes is spent annually by township supervisors and commissioners without getting adequate results. • The bill contains the idea of Homer J. Tice concerning automobile licenses. It fixes the annual state fee as follows: Twenty-five horse power machines, •4. Thirty-five horse power machines, •6. Fifty horse power machine, $8. Over fifty horse power, $10. Speed limits thru residence and busi­ ness districts and on public highways are fixed as follows: Thru business districts of cities, ten miles an hour. Thru residence districts, fifteen miles an hour. \3n public1 highways, twenty-fiye miles an hour. Around curves, six miles an hour. The penalties for breaking the speed Hmit are unchanged by the bill. COMPLAINT OP AUTO DRIVERS. Some complaint has come regarding the giving of half the road in case of an automobile coming up behind a team. The parties claim that when they Come up behind a fellow with a team he stubbornly refuses to give any of the road, no matter if there is plenty of room to turn out. Now the law recognises the rights of both the man with the team and the man with the automobile, and these rights should be respected. There are plenty of men who are running autos who should be driving ox teams, and vice versa, but all me& should be treated that way. The law says that when a man is over­ taken by a faster vehicle, the man driving the slower vehicle shall turn out and give half of the beaten path. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLAINDEALER OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. Petesch's for drugs. £ Died--In Nunda, April 27, Martin Conway, after a severe illness of seven months. Fishermen are now having plenty of sport. Big fish stories are also being manufactured. Died--lu this village on Monday afternoon, Theodoras Holmes, in the forty-third year\>f his age. A. G. Locke, the new baker, has ar­ rived and is getting ready as fast as possible to open up his business. The new board of trustees met and organized on Friday evening last by the election of Benj. Gilbert as presi­ dent for the ensuing year. Six saloons have taken out licenses for this year, so far, with a prospect of one or two more. The license re­ mains the same as last year, $500. The California tourists, Charles Granger and F. A. Parker, returned on Saturday last. They report a very pleasant trip and a good time gener­ ally, W. Parker, proprietor of the Parker House in this village, returned from Colorado on Saturday last, where he has been spending the winter for his health. James Gracey, who resided In the town of Nunda, near Terra Cotta sta­ tion, died on Sunday night after a long and painful illness. His funeral was held on Tuesday. "KEEP OFF THE GRASS." There is a growing spirit of lawless­ ness in the matter of trespassing upon private lawns. This is not confined to heedless school children, but the ag­ gressors are often men and women who are old enough to know better. Owners of corner tots are the especial victims of this habit. It is almost impossible to keep a lawn on a corner where a considerable number of people pass. mv v .--11 -u--i j i j a -- JLlUb cvn siiuuiu uc suuppou. xxuy pel" son, old or young, who trespasses in this manner shows a flagrant disregard of property rights. Moreover, every such trespasser, either pedestrian or bicycle rider, is liable to arrest and fine. The law is sufficient to punish the aggressors, and only the long suf­ fering of the victims keeps them out of the police court. But patience is not always a virtue, and one of these days the victims of thi£ lawlessness will invoke the power of the law. "Keep off the grass." Lubricating oils and mixed paints, the very best that the market affords. See Wm. Simes, McHenry. m iff F. A. HOHUAHDER General Merchandise & Capital Stock, $25,000.
