W. FWEUND WEST McHENRY, PHONE 303 To tfic Lover of 000D (Of EEE We wish to advise you that we have In­ stalled in our store a new ROYAL ELEC­ TRIC COFFEE HILL. This machine Is ttjuipped with steel knives whii-ti cut the l>erry into practically uniform clean cut particles, instead of (jrindinK and crush- inn H. as by the old method. All coffee mills heretofore used will only crush the berry, mutilating the minute oil cells, allowing the coffee oil to evap­ orate. thus impairing the strength and flavor. By this new process the little oil cells remain unbroken, the essential oil (food product) cannot evaporate and the coffee thus retains Its fine, rich, aromatic flavor in its full strength. This Is one reason why a pound of coffee cut in this mill will make from twelve to fifteen more cups of full strength coffee than will any coffee ground In the old way. The lover of good coffee finds here a rich­ ness of Savor never found in coffee ground io the ordinary way. Another feature about this mill is that you may have your coffee cut as fine as the finest sand and it will still he practi- 7i r vhich is produced by the old method of grinding. ...i, ..... a clear cup of coffe instead of the muddy effect-- a result of using the old style mills. ROYAL CUT COFFEE is also adaptable for percolators or French drip coffee pots. m A rou» or OUR COFFEE CUT ON a ROYAL MILL AND WE MNOW vm.

Thirty-five thousand black bass were placed in Fox river just above the dam at Elgin last Friday. T. C. Schroeder of Richmond is the largest land owner in McHenry coun­ ty, possessing 1,569 acres. It is in ten farms in Richmond, Burton and Hebron townships. The second annual carnival of the Delos F. Diggins library at Harvard netted the ladies in charge $627.05. The total sum taken in was $783.82. It was a fine success in every way. The automobile road races at Elgin will take place on Friday and Satur­ day, August 25 and 26. There will be four big races, $5,000 in prizes will be awarded. The Presbyterians of Harvard have let the contract for a beautiful new church which will cost about $18,000 and is expected to be completed next February. Pearl hunters of Elgin had a lucky day last Sabbath, Jim Tollura, a Hun­ garian laborer, finding one weighing 27 grains and valued at $1,200, while Leo Lange found a 14 grain gem val­ ued at $800. The Chicago Industrial Home for C hildren at Woodstock is to be replaced with a more modern and substantial building in the near future. Funds for this purpose are being1 solicited thruout the codnty. A strange new disease has become prevalent among horses in the vicinity of Kirkland, 111., and several animals have died within a few days. The first symptom of the trouble appears to be lameness, then the horse becomes sick and soon dies. In Elgin they are talking of building a dam south of the city on Fox river in order to raise the water level as far north as Kimball street. A similar proposition has often been broached in Dundee, where something of the kind is quite as essential. Notice has been served on th^ ex­ press companies and shippers of the state that the Illinois railroad and warehouse commission would issue an order prescribing a schedule of re­ duced express rates to apply thruout the state after Aug. 1. Timothy seed will command the highest prices this season it has in many years. A Boone county farmer sold a quantity of the seed in Belvidere one day last week for $7 per bushel. The ordinary price of timothy seed is $2 to $2.50, with $3 considered a pretty high price. A fast mail train on the New York Central road, a few days ago, drawing seven all steel mail care and two Pull­ mans, ran three miles in one minute and 50 seconds. The first mile was made in 38 seconds, the second in 37 and the third in 36, the fastest time ever made in the world on a steam railroad. Honey will be a pretty scarce article this season is the declaration of bee­ keepers in this section of the country, who say that if bees get enough to feed on thru the wioter the owners will count themselves lucky. Scarcity of flowers and especially of elover this year is said to be the cause. What­ ever clover honey there may be made wlii sunejy bring a good price. The ehe«semaker of Appleton, Wis., has been given a contract by the Na­ tional Dairy Shaw association to build a cheese weighing 12,000 pounds, three times as large as the bigg-est cheese ever made in the world, which was the one built there last summer by Mr. Sinon for the same association. It will require all the milk from 6,500 cows for one day and it is estimated that it will take sixfcy-five tons or 130,- 000 pounds of milk and cream to make this cheese. Illinois will have a model peniten­ tiary which will supplant the old one at Juliet. After spending considerable time in the investigation of peniten­ tiaries thruout the world, State Archi­ tect Zimmerman will build it on the circular cell plan. There is but one other such system in the world and that is found in Holland. By the means of the circular cell, each pris­ oner will have the advantage of an out­ side window and will receive the fresh air and sunlight. F. M. Wilkes, department head of the North Shore Electric company, carries his left aim in a sling l>ecause of severe burns received at Barrington last week while testing the voltage. The current had nut passed thru the transformer and Mr. Wilkes received 4,000 volts, enough to kill him instant­ ly had his arm not been resting on a steel tank, which formed a better con­ ductor than his body. His burns are quite severe, but is thought the in­ juries will not be permanent. A useful hint for persons of inex­ perience who are tempted to invest in advertised stocks may be derived from a disc loan re following the arrest of a firm of dealers in alleged securities in New York. Among the firm's effects was what the i>ostoftice inspectors termed the "largest sucker list in ex­ istence." It contained one hundred and twenty thousand names divided among four classes, headed "special," "good," "fair" and "worth trying." It must be consoling to a man who has yielded to a temptation to get rich quick to know that his name is^treas- ured as "good" in a list of "easy marks." • We have just placed on exhibition an elegant new line of Ruga of the Richardson Make.
