Richards in 1915 turned over to County Superin­ tendent Shelton, out of the above $20,833.89 received from Joslyn, the above sum of $6,593,59, but to offset this, Jos­ lyn drew back from our general county funds (as shown above) the sum of $3,838.79, which, added to the balance of $1,099.39 withheld by Joslyn from County Treasurer (as shown above) makes a total of $4,938.09 to be charged against the $6,593.59 received by SheUon, which left our taxpayers a profit of only $1,655.50 out of the enormous sum received by Joslyn during said three and one-half year*.

IMPORTANT Every figure given above can be verified by the sworn reports of our State's Attorney now on file in the office of our Circuit Clerk, and by the books of County Treasurer Lynn W. Richards, County Superintendent of Schools A. M Shelton and County Clerk Guy E. Still. g In Joslyn's letter to the taxpayers of Juljp 26th, 1916, he boastingly said: "Under this law I have already pai& to the JOaunty Treasurer $20,833.89, a fact shown by the reoords but not heretofore called to your atten­ tion by anyone.4' The above statement was purposely misleading. He intended to convey the meaning that the taxpayers bad profited lb the amount of $20,833.89 when, as a matter of fact, he knew that he had withdrawn every dollar of the above amount, except the $6,593.59 paid Sheiton by Rich­ ards, and that he had even drawn from the taxpayers' gen­ eral county funds $4,938.09 to offset the $6,593.59 received by Shelton. There is over $10,000.00 of absolutely illegal fees and illegal charges in Joslyn's record of seven and one-half years, and during the same time he has illegally received nearly $10,000.00 of justice fines that should have been paid directly to County Superintendent Shelton. If the taxpayers of this county wish to recover their school money, Joslyn must be beaten and compelled to disgorge. At least three-fourths of the voters of this county want Joslyn defeated for a third term. You din never de­ feat JoBlyn by voting for Lumley. If the voters who Op­ pose Joslyn's renomination will give me their support on Primary Day, Joslyn will be defeated by an overwhelming majority and our school money will be recovered and this entire matter straightened out. Whatever JOslyn says, he still has our school money and he don't deny that; Joslyn will get no comfort from the Supreme Court when that court sees exactly what Joslyn is trying to' do to the taxpayers of McHenry County. I expect to speak in every township 'tin McHenry County before Primary Day, and will be glad to answer every question asked of me with reference to 'Our school f ands, Joslyn's record, or anything else.

John Bonslett had the misfortune to sprain his-ankle badly one day last week and is now obliged to get around on crutches. One week from next Tuesday the McHenry county fair will open at Woodstock and indications point to a very successful exhibition. Mrs. A. S. Wright and children of Woodstock will take possession of O. W. Owen's cottage at Pistakee Bay today, where they will rusticate for the next two weeks. One of the large work herses on the farm of E. M. Owen stepped into a hole while working on a mower one day last week and broke his leg, which necessitated his being shot. I Mrs. W. C.

The weather prophets say^tiiat the phenomenal weather, which has char­ acterized July, is soon to end and that August and September will be very hot. There have been only two Julys so cool for twenty years and these only exceeded in low temperature the month just ended by a trifle. A very interesting game of base­ ball took place at the driving park on Tuesday afternoon between a club from Chicago, who are camping near Grayslake, and the McHenry nine, which resulted in favor of McHenry by a scorQ of 21 to. 11. Our boys were "at themselves" and done them­ selves credit, both in the field and at the bat. On Thursday evening, August 6, about sixty of the young friends of Rev. Father O'Neil gave him a very pleasant surprise, the occasion be­ ing the twenty-seventh anniversary of his ordination. Father O'Neil has been "fifteen years pastor of this parish and in that time has omitted the celebration of mass but once, and then it was upon the requirement of his services in an adjoining parish.
