Fo* the first time in a period of six years Illinois is to have an open sea­ son for the killing of prairie chickens. The state game bill, agreed upon by both houses after » lively fight, estab­ lishes an open season of seven days, from Nov. 10 to Nov. 17, of each year, and during which time these wild birds may be hunted, with a limit of three birds daily on the huntsman's bag. Reports from the eastern part of the state are that prairie chickens are more plentiful in that region than has been known in twenty years, and upon the recommendation of deputy sheriffs all oyer the state the state game com­ missioner agreed tq, stand for an open season for the next two years. In conference the amendment adopt­ ed in the house protecting quail for the period of four years was stricken from the bill and the open season on these birds will be the same as during the last two years, being from Nov. 10 to Dec. 10. The only other important change in the protecting feature of the act is closing the season on woodcocks, which heretofore could be shot during a year­ ly scmuii. A feature of the new law is the pro­ tection from trespassers of submerged lands, the law providing that persons must not hunt upon waters that are not navigable without the permission of the land owners.

Joe Miller, Johnsburgh's classy dope artist, has been pitching for the Rich­ mond team the past two Sundays and from the showing he has made in those exhibitions we believe he has won for himself a siwnmer's job if he cares to stick. A week ago last Sunday he pitched six innings against the Elgin Lincolns and succeeded in letting that team down with but one hit and struck out twelve men. Last Sunday he twirled against the fast Roanoke club .of Chicago and won his game by the very close margin of a 2 to 1. Miller, we are told, is expecting to land 9 job with one of the minor league teams be­ fore long. " K.GMRM RAILWAY MAT!. BFBVIfF F. A.

Simea, McHenry. !Y TOWNSHIP RQJ» BAY mn- * •' The McHenry Township Sundw School association held its annual con vention at the M. E. church here lust, Sunday afternoon with an attendanc-r of about forty, combining representa­ tives of Ringwood and McHenry Urn- versalist and Methodist Sunday schools. A fine array of floral decorations, in ­ cluding a number of American beauty roses, gave the church a most inviting appearance. The officers elected for the coming- year are as follows: S. H. Colby, pres­ ident; C. E. H. Tuttle, vice president: Mrs. Loveina Thomas, secretary and treasurer. * A splendid program, which was tas­ tily printed, had been prepared by the committee, Mrs. Loveina Thomas, Miss Irene McOmber and S. H. Colby, was followed out. Rev. Cross called the meeting to order and S. H. Colby was selected as chairman and also had charge of the devotional services. Mrs. F. Hutson briefly explained the graded work of the juniors; Rev. Cross the intermediate and Miss Cora Fill­ more the beginners and primaries. Miss Fillmore beautifully illustrated by giving the lesson y6f the day (the birth and call of Samuel) with a class of children. Mr. Kittle represented the organized class and gave an animated address. He gave eight different reasons for it, illustrating and enforcing each and every one of them with his reading, association with Sunday school work­ ers and his personal experience. Mr. Tuttle followed with a discussion of the indifference of so many of our adults to®both the Sunday school and church service. This naturally led to discussions of needs and methods. Jttev. Cross spoke on tbe possibilities of the Sunday school, referring to the opportunity to pre-empt the small child for Christ thru the cradle roll; to greatly increase the bible students thru the home department and there­ by increase the attendance member­ ship. A nice variety of music consisting of general, duets and two solos by Mr. Morris was furnished. Those who at­ tended the convention are of the opin­ ion that it will be productive of good re­ sults to McHenry township Sunday schools. HORSE FRIGHTENS COW COW UPSETS WAGON AND CAUSES BUN- AWAY THUBSDAY LAST. A horse running at large on Main street on the West Side nearly caused a fatality last Thursday forenoon. Mathias Bowers, who has charge of the Jos. F. Haas stock farm at Pista- kee Bay, with his wife, was driving along Main street in a high-boxed wagon containing a very valuable cow which they had just taken from a car at the depot. They were homeward bound when at a point near the W. G. Schreiner new residence a horse run­ ning at large frightened the cow in the wagon so that the beast plunged into Mr. and Mrs. Bowers. In the turmoil the wagon was upset and the horses attached thereto ran away. In the up­ setting of the wagon the two occu­ pants, with the cow, which was heav­ ily strapped to the wagon, were thrown to the ground, a distance of several feet. The team became detached from the wagon and was stopped in Centerville. Eye witnesses of the accident ran to Mr. and Mrs. Bowers' assistance, who were first thought to have been seri­ ously injured. They were assisted into the home of Dr. R. G. Chamberlin, where they srs attended by Or, D. ^Vells. Upon examination the doctor found that Mrs. Bowers had suffered a dislocation of the right shoulder and also a fracture of a bone in the right arm just below the elbow, besides being considerably bruised about the face and body. Mr. Bowers received two broken ribs, a sprained left wrist and internal injuries. The accident occurred about eleven o'clock and it was several hours later before Dr. Wells removed the victims to the Haas farm in his automobile. The accident, while bad enough, could have been worse and the victims are indeed fortunate that their lives were saved. Their friends in McHenry sincerely hope that their recoveries will be hasty and permanent. EXCURSION TO McHENBY. The excursion of county seat young people to McHenry and the dancing party at Stoffel's hall last Saturday evening proved a decided social suc­ cess, but not financially. The special train from Woodstock brought less than forty couples over, while at least seventy-five were looked for. -The rain undoubtedly kept a good many from attending, but those who did come over were well repaid for so doing by being courteously entertained by John McGee, Jr., of Woodstxx^c, who had the event in charge. About thirty couples from this place helped swell the crowd. AUTHOB TO LIVE IN McHENBY. Harry Sophus Sheldon, the play­ wright whose latest play, "The Ilavoc," met with such exceptional success in the literary world, is going to be a resident of HcHenry during the coming season. While visiting at Dr. Carl Strueh's sanatorium the latter part of the week the charms of this beautiful country attracted him so that he rented one of the Lasch cottages, where he intends to go Into seclusion to put the finishing touches on several new plays which are to be produced next season. Mr. Sheldon will he ac­ companied by his wife and baby. 700 old houses have been wirrd by us *iltce January on our plan of doing the work at cost-- *4 months to pay-- no Interest.

While Lake county is sure of losing in the near future the little religious community at Wooster Lake, known as the Spirit Fruit colony, it is possi­ ble that the place of the Spirit Fruit will be taken by that famous cult in Chicago known as the Absolute Life. According to the statement of Calla­ han, a law firm of Chicago, who have represented the leader of the Absolute Life cult, Evelyn Arthur See, in his recent clash with the authorities, there is a chance that the cult will see a refuge at Wooster Lake, or some other point in Lake county yet to be chosen. There is nothing definitely settled as yet. See and his followers are wait­ ing for a chance to get out of Chicago and establish a little community of their own and form a second Zion City, where there will be no city author­ ities who will interfere with their worship. The Spirit Fruit farm at Wooster Lake, which is comprised of 284 acres of the finest land in Lake county, would afford a good place for a colony of this kind. The attorneys for See in their statement recently said that while there were no definite plans for location at Wooster Lake or Zion City, still the time was not far distant when they would consider a proposition of purchasing the Spirit Fruit farm and locating there. The Absolute Life cult is a peculiar religious community with ideas strictly its own. The headquarters of the cult have been on Racine avenue, Chicago, up to a short time ago, when the city authorities raided the place and placed part of the inmates under arrest. The cult has now been incorporated, the stock divided into five shares of 8100 value apiece, and all the stock is held by See and his followers. In this manner the cult hopes to raise money enough to purchase a tract of land where they may dwell in peace and worship in their peculiar belief without molestation. They will also conduct a printing establishment and a general merchantile business to in­ crease their resources. SCHOOL NOTES. The last few days of the school year will be eventful ones to the seniors and the rest of the high school stu­ dents. The first feature will take place on Saturday night of this week, May 27, and invitations are already out for the reception and banquet to be tendered to the seniors by the jun­ iors and the rest of the high school studdht body. On Saturday evening, June 3, the Japanese operetta, "Prin­ cess Chrysanthemum," will be given by members from the three upper rooms. The girls have given this unique operetta much/ attention for the past few weeks and we may ex­ pect something out of the ordinary. On Sunday afternoon at 2:30 the bac­ calaureate address will be delivered at the opera house by Rev. D. Lehane. Monday night occurs the regular com­ mencement program at the opera house. A speaker of some renown has been secured to deliver the address. Dr. C. Frank: Vreeland of Chicago is of pleasing address, bis logic is sound, his humor healthful and contagious. Hear him once and you will hear him again. The full program of these events will be found elsewhere in this paper. TON THE OTHER HAND? First of all life insurance is peace of mind. I am a close investor. At death, im­ mediate needs require immediate cash. Life insurance is ready money. I am earning a good salary. Insur­ ance will continue what death would end. Life insurance is the widow's salary. Creditors are glad I owe them while I live. Soon as I die they will want their money. Life insurance pays debts. 1 I may live to earn and save a com­ petence for old age. A large majority of men do not. Life insurance guar­ antees it. My home is mortgaged. If I live I can pay it. If not, the home wouid have to go. life insurance would save the home. I am well fixed today. I may die wealthy and I may not. Wealth takes to itself wings. Life insurance does not. My father-in-law is rich. So is my father. They and I may die poor. I pay a company to adopt my orphans and care for their mother. There's a mortgage on my life. It is due my widow. I signed it "under the mistletoe." Foreclosure may come any time. Life insurance is her secur­ ity. Meet Mr. Gilbert of the Northern Life of Illinois. The Northern Life of Illinois.
