ROSE N NEIL DEAD DEATH FOLLOWS CLOSELY AFTER THAT OF HER MOTHER Following close on the death and burial of Mrs. Robert Dalziel last week, death came to Mrs. Rose Mc­ Neil, sixty-seven years old, a daughter, who succumbed to a severe attack of the rheumatism at her home at Ingle- side Sunday night. While Mrs. McNeil had not been in good health for some time, it was not thought that the end was so hear. A week ago she attended the funeral of her mother and to that time appeared to be no worse off than at any other times. Since then, however, she grad­ ually declined until the end came. The deceased, who came to this country from Scotland many years ago and who has lived in this country for some time, is survived by a husband and one son, William. The funeral was held from the home at Iogleside this morning at 10 o'clock. TIM Lucky ThirtMM Mrs. D. G.

Workmen are now engaged putting on the new roof at the Riverside House. Farmers are complaining that good seed corn will be scarce the coming spring. The continued damp weather has made the corn soft, and its vitality is affected. The man who has bright, sound corn will do well to hold onto it until the demand for next year's seed begins. Seven fin#, large rooms have been ad­ ded to the Riverside House, and .the hall, the largest and finest in the county, will immediately be repaired, painted, papered and put in a better shape than ewer before. Nothing will be left undone to make the River­ side the leading summer hotel in northern Illinois. The many friends of Geo. E. Yager in this village, were shocked on Satur­ day morning last to read a notice in the Chicago papers that he had died at his home in South Evanston the day before. As none of his friends here had been apprised ^that he was even sick it did not seem possible that it was true. After some delay telegrams were sent, which brought back the intelligence that he ' was alive and well, and that the story had been made out of white cloth. The party or parties who would attempt to perpe­ trate such a joke deserve turning over to the fool-killer without even a rec­ ommendation to mercy. 'The M. E.
