"X The officers and members of the Mc Henry county poultry association have already started booming their second annual show to be held in Woodstock Jan. 3 to 7, 1912. E. L. Hayes, secre­ tary of the association, informs us that it is expected at least 800 birds will be on exhibition at the January show.

Wisconsin creamery nien have band­ ed together to secure control of the Elgin board of trade at the next annual meeting in December, according to re­ ports." If they fail, it is understood they will start a butter board at Wau- sau, Wis. Wisconsin butter makers say the Elgin board is controlled by speculators and commission men and is no longer a producers' market, , and that Wisconsin, producing twice as much butter as Illinois, should have charge of fixing the price. Police authorities and sheriffs (ot three counties--Kane, McHenry and Cook--are searching for two young horse thieves who stole a horse and buggy from in front of the Marengo opera house Monday afternoon of last week. The home and buggy were found the next day, but no trace of the boys can be had. They are only twelve and fourteen years old and are charges of a Chicago juvenile home, paroled to a farmer living near Cary. The theft was discovered within ten minutes and pursuit was made in an auto, yet the boys completely eluded their followere. Overseer Wilber Glenn Voliva, with his three aids, Clendinen, Friend Walker, was re-indicted last week by the grand jury of Lake county on the charge of conspiracy. This new in­ dictment is to take the place of form­ er conspiracy indictments quashed by Circuit Court Judge Charles Whitney on motion of Voliva's attorneys, G. W. Field and C. P. Barnes. The new con­ spiracy indictment is said to be the most formidable indictment ever re­ turned by a grand jury of this state. It contains forty-one counts and the equivalent of about 1000 pages of type­ writing. It will also be attacked by Voliva's attorneys. The grand jury also returned an indictment against Vpliva for perjury. TERRA COTTA. Miss Beatrice Norris has returned to school. Eugene Leisner of Chicago spent Sunday at his home here. C. E.

The order the state railroad and warehouse -'com-'3' missislon for the reduction of ratei took effect the first of this mouth. The express companies am putting-; the new tariffs into effect under* pro-; test, on an agreement thai if litiga-i tion establishes the faet that they are too low the righto of the oompaniea will not be prejudiced. Rates to points outside of the state, or from outside the state, are not af­ fected. But Till shipments Inside the state, as between McHenry and Chi­ cago, are lowered materially. For­ merly the rate to Chicago from this village was 75 cents per hundred pounds, now it is (JO cents. But the greatest reduction comes in the rearrangement of what the ex­ press companies call the "graduate;" that is, the division of the rate tot packages of various weights. This wor|is to give a lower rate for a much larger package. Formerly on shipments from this village to Chicago the heaviest package that could be shipped for 25 cents was three pounds. Under the new arrangement a pack­ age weighing seven pounds can fee shipped for that price. Thirty cents formerly carried only five pounds, but now it will carry twenty pounds. For­ ty cents now carries forty-five pounds against twenty-five under the old rate. Thus the rate follows up the line with the large margin of weight in favor of the new rates as graduated by the commission. People who ship anil receive a great deal of merchandise and other matter by express in packages under 100 pounds will find the annual saving will be large, while on larger shipments, those of 100 pounds or over, the saying is 20 per cent, which is worth while. The rumor had gone out that ship­ ments were to be based on a mileage proposition. This would give the shorter rdute such an advantage that it would secure all the business be­ tween two given points and there would be no possibility of competition. However, it appears that all rates are made the same between any points having more than one company oper­ ating, the rate being based on the mileage of the shortest line. ^ CREAM BAKING POWDffi 1 Qms ®f Tariar Psmhr •ait front firapat HimmtMM Auction Sale! €i#®e Vogef, Auctioneer WALTER BESLEY, JR., CELEBRATED.
