Yet it is the contention of the attorneys for Charles W. Kel­ logg, exeutor of the last will and testa- raect of Alfred M. Barber, deceased, that One effects the other, and that, when Alfred M. Barber died, he de­ fatted the laws of the state of Illinois, wldelt require the payment of taxes on all property. The case referred to was on hearing before Judge Arthur H. Frost of Rockford all day Monday and the greater part of Tuesday of last week. The suit was started by Stale's Attorney D. R. Joelyn for an injunction to prevent the executor from distributing the estate until the taxes on the property, amounting to ow one million and a half dollars, had for the past ten years. The tkMkd of review fixed the valuation at one million two hundred thousand dol­ lar* and the taxes extended thereunder HHNOt to about two hundred thousand ditUprg. The state it assisted by Attorneys E. D. Shurtleff, 1*. D. Lowell, J. F. Casey and C. T. Allen, but all of the argu­ ments were made by Attorney Shurt­ leff. The executor is represented by AttoMBMya C. J. Hendricks, A. A. Wdcsley and H. S. McCartney'. The •ffttmeats for the defense were made by Attorneys McCartney and Hend­ ricks, who contended that the. circuit Must had no jurisdiction to issue an in­ junction in a case of this kind and that the claimants or petitioners in the bill ;£*v could obtain all remedies in the county court. A temporary injunction was ^ issued in this case by Judge Donnelly early in the fall. A change of venue , was taken and granted to Judge Frost and the temporary injunction is now , sought to be dissolved. The argument made by Attorney >fy Shurtleff in favor of the action of the circuit court for issuing the injunction rY : was probably the ablest and most elab- * -j - r- * orate argument ever made before the ry •' . circuit court in this county. His argu- Jyr; ments and quotation of law evidenced .. ,s a study and research of law that must have taken weeks of the most careful flv.'; study. To a layman his argument ap- p pealed as one which had justice on his go; side to say the least. He met the argu- pt : , meat of the defense by quoting stat- H ute and elementary law to the effect £fv that it was the property and not the jr.' of Alfred M. Barber, which , '•^• •ofulfht tq be taxed to bear its just |V- 'x bowSeo of respoosibUity to government, and society. pj The main argument of the defense ^at Alfred M. Barber is dead; a %x{ P®**onal property tax is assessed against person and not the property. The - ®*tate is possessed of all you have as­ sessed against it and a great deal more, but we refuse to pay any fax. We have the money, but how are you go­ ing to get it? While this was not the arguments in words, it amputed to that la substance. Judge Frost, after hearing ail the arguments, went home on the after­ noon train, taking the case under ad­ visement. The jury for the September term ^C>pe*red on Monday morning, but as fie cases were ready for trial they were excused until January 6, at which time Judge Frost will again be here fpd have another trial of the case of Philip W. Mothereill vs. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, which has already been before our oourt three times and before the oourt in Lake county and the appellate court once in each court. Juilge Donnelly entered a divorce in we wiro ul fUMiunstein vs. ilohenstein and entered a few other chancery «"dei* ThSrlamily of the late Nicholas*Mar­ tin wish in this public manner to ex­ press their sincere thanks for the many kindnesses and favors that were extended them hiring their recent very sad bereavement. Also do they wish to thank all for sympathy extend­ ed and for the assistance lent by neighbors and friends. Crystal Lake, that was a credit to the teacher and parents of that district. Superintendent. H. A. Dean and A. M. She]ton, county superintendent, at­ tended the program and at its close gave short talks relative to school work. They both emphatically de­ clared the program given by the chil­ dren to be far above the average. The work in this school has responded to the improvements made during vacation, by the directors and the teacher, Miss Lucile Byrd. New desks have been installed and many other smaller improvements that go so far to make the pjpils comfortable and happy. A Jew years ago a heatei was added to the school room equip­ ment and. today there appears over the door the sign, "Standard School, Wherever such a, sign appears over the doorway of a rural school it means that the equipment in the school is for the comfort and advantages of the pupils that attend, that the school has the O. K. of the state superintendent and that either he or one of his assist­ ants has visited that school. Surely such a sign will not lower the land valuations in the district nor will it interfere with the best interests of the pupils, both physically and. education­ ally. There are schools in this county that less than tlO will bring up to this standard; there are other schools that will require the expenditure of per­ haps $50 or $100 to bring them up to modern conditions. A large number of districts thruout the county began last year to work for this standard for their boys and girls, adding a few re­ quirements from time to time until their school becomes a real medium to promote the best interests of their pppils. The Herald takes considerable pride in acknowledging that there are more than a dozen of these schools in and about Crystal Lake. What better inducement can we offer than good schools, good roads and an excellent town to prospective buyers of farm lands? The directors in the Holcomb ville school are John Powers, T. L. PI adders and August Gaebe. ^ , ii" " ORCHARD BEACI BOlti. TOMB SCEWE Or aAYETY KBW YBAft'8 * . * '< ' N w 7~ C. F. Norager, proprietor of the Orchard Beach hotel and summer re­ sort, has issued invitations for a New Year's eve celebration at this popular resort. A like event took place at that point a year ago and the great success of the proprietor's efforts in this direc­ tion has prompted him to make this year's occasion a larger and 'most elab­ orate one. • • - * A large number of invitations have been sent to Chicago and from all in­ dications the Orchard Beach will be packed on that night and the following day. A five course supper will be served at 10:30 p. m. Not to be out­ done by the Chicago eat houses, musi­ cal and other entertainments will con­ tinue while the supper is being served. This feature of the evening's big^ do­ ings will be followed by a social hop. The following morning the guests will be taken for a forenoon drive to all points of interest and sight-seeing. The places to be visited on this drive are but little known to those residing in the great metropolis. The old tam­ arack swamps, remnants of Indian log houses and ancient stone cabins to be found within a radius of a few miles from this village are among the places, making the trip both interesting as well as invigorating. The entire trip will consume about three hours, which will bring the guests back to the hotel in time for dinner. , As an inducement .to Nout-of-to« n people, Mr. Norager has made a spe­ cial low price for the two days and no doubt will entertain a big crowd. QUARTER OF A CENTURY ITEM* CLIPPED PIMM PLADCDEALEA OT TWEMTY-P1TE YEAM AOO Died--In this village on Saturday evening, Dec. 22, 1888, H. {9. Gregory, aged fifty-seven years. We learn that a fine ten pound baby girl arrived at the home of- Chas. H. Granger one day last week. An infant child of J. Dermont died at the Parker House last week. We did not learn the cause of death. E. A. Shedd, of the Knickerbocker Ice company, phicago, was here last week, making arrangements to fill their ice house here as soon as i| freezes to a sufficient thickness. This will giye uwork to a large number of laboring men for a time. Without a doubt one of the meanest men on earth (next to the man who itves in a far off state or territory and refuses his paper when he owes several dollars on it) is the man who picks a quarrel with his best girl in order to get out of buying her a Christmas present. * ' At a regular communication of Mc- Henry Lodge No. 158, A.

To the wanner or uoiu: It is six years since I took the Keeley treatment, and rny faith in the Cure grows strong-ev as tho yef.rs by. I do not think but I know, that, any per­ son that earnestly »to?urefl to be cured of the liquor h:tbit ran <l«j no l»y gr»ln^ to Dwig-ht and taking the treatment. I remained xit the Institute one month and came home a new man, with a de­ sire to start life over a pain. The day I came away from th« Institute every­ thing- looked entirely dffferent to mo than it did one ahort month before. I saw thlnpa as God intended that 1 should, with brain clear and my i»ervea strengthened. No miracle 'had been performed, but the whiskey had been eliminated from my system and I .was ,a man agrain. .And all this was dona by the Kseley treatment, When I went to Dwight I did not think I had a friend in the world;--I felt that I was down and out. But thank God that there are some people in the world that never f?ive up try- ingr to do good. A Keu^leman for whom I had worked had hopes for- me where I had none for myself, and he induced me to i?o and take the cure, with the result that the last six years have been the happiest that I have experi­ enced in more than thirty years, be­ sides making my dear wife and chil­ dren very happy. I am sixty years old and am ia the best of health, the health part dating from the time I took the Cure; and I have had a good situ­ ation ever since I cftme home. There is no doubt that the Keeley treatment does all that they say it will. It Cures! I am glad to do all I can to help the good work along. With best wishes to all old friends, and to all connected with the Institute, I remain Sincerely yours, ' ., W. I* HASKIN. Nil W. Conrress Street. <») DR. F. J.
