It is said they will put up a $10^000 plant to start with, and will employ a large number of hands. MRS. FRED HATCH, of Burton, who was so severely injured by being run over by a horse, at Belvidere, in December last, passed through here with her husband on Tuesday on her way home.

All members of the Eastern Star, and M&sons and their families will be invited. Programmes, giving full particulars, will be issued in 'a few days THE grass was deep green and early flowers^sre in bloom at this season last year. At the present time vegetation has given no eign of the near approach of spring. StiH^ with hard, smooth roads, bright days and not very cold weather, few feel like complaining of present conditions. THE Elgin Courier says: "Miss Lena Gillie, who is employed in Young's de­ partment at the watch factory, met with an accident, this morning, She runs a stamping machiue, and it came down on the end of a finger, badly crushing it. Miss Gillis was taken to her home, where Dr. Burliugame performed an amputa­ tion. It will be several weeks before she will be able to resume work." Miss Gillis is a daughter of Joseph Gillis, of this village. THE principal of a school at Oshkosh, Wis., was the subject of a practical joke, last week. 'One of his scholars had been rather mischievous and the Professor promised him a dressing down the next day. The day dawned and the boy was on hand to receive the chastisement. The switch.S&s' applied vigorously, but the boy did M&0bem to lose any breath and the noise did not sound like natural pants. It was later discovered that the "ballot-box" had been stuffed with tow­ els. WORD has been recsived hsre that Mrs. John Lenzen, of Fairfield, Nebraska, a former resident here, was killed in a runaway accident at that place a few weeks since. Mrs. Leuz^n has many relatives and friends here and in Johns- bur^h. The following particulars of the accident we find in a Fairfield paper :-- "Tuesday evening, as Mrs. John Lenzen was riding, her horse became unmanage­ able and started for home on the run. The horse ran into the jTard throwing Mrs. Lenzen out, her head striking against the corner of the barn, cutting one ear completely in two, aud causing intracranial hemorrage. She never re­ gained consciousness and lived until Wednesday morning at three o'clock. OUR Tax Collector, John H. Freund returned his books last week, and when we consider the tightness of the money market this year we think he has made an extra good showing. The total amount to be collected this year was $11,217.82. Out of this he collected $10,691..59, leaving delinquent only $526.23. As we said before we consider this an extraordinary c;ooil fhowing for the year. In this connection Mr. Freund Wishes us to thank the voters of this township for the very cordiul manner which fhey have supported him for the otfice of Collector for the past »our years and assure them that he appreciates their kindness to the fullest extent. Mr. FcgHnd has made one of the best Collect­ ors McHenry township ever had, and he retires from office with the good wishes and respect of all. J. H. STERLING, a representative from Kansas, will hold a public meeting at the City Hall, in this village, on Thurs­ day, to-morrow, evening, in the interest of the destitute people of Sherman Co., Kansas, in which county there has been two years of total crop failures, by reason of which failures the people have been reduced to a state of alarming des­ titution. They are compelled to ask aid from their more prosperous brothers of the east, and should assistance be with­ held from them starvation , must result. T'hey supplicate us for assistance, and we hope a cheerful and generous response by our'people will follow., Mr. Sterling will state to our citizens the exact con­ dition of the people of that sedTion,rand we hope all will turn out and give him a candid hearing. The meeting will commence at 8 o'clock. it will in the future be more,'successful. For the Benefit of the School Library. The beautiful DramaticCantata, "Lost and Saved,".will be repeated at Riverside Hall, on Friday evening of next week, April 5th, for the benefit of the Public School Library. This beautiful Cantata gave such universal satisfaction when brought out on the 15th that, many who did not see it at that time have been anxious to have it repeated, and there­ fore it has been decided to do so and ap­ propriate the proceeds for replenishing the Public School Library. Quite a num­ ber of new features will be added, which, together with new music, will render the entertainment even more interesting than before. Those who did attend will be sure to go again and those who did not should not fail to avail themselves of this opportunity.

ROMAN NOBLES.DUPED. •IF you should happen to hear a dismal groan, or a wailing shriek like that of a sick tom-cat which has accidentally swallowed a chestnut burr, don't be alarmed. It wilPbe an awful noise, but the chances are if you trace it to its source you will find between somebody's lips a peculiar looking whistle, innocent enough as for as appearance is concern­ ed, but a terror in actioij^ It has a wheel in its stomach, so to/speak, a fan^- like buzzer which makes arracket greater .or less according to the/amount of bel­ lows power turned upbn it from the lungs.

Count Vtsone, a Trusted Diplomatist, In an Ugly C^rd Scandal. French and Italian newspapers have been referring mysteriously this week to a new card scandal in Rome. The of­ fender is Clount Visone, son of a former minister of the royal household and for some time past secretary of the Italian embassy in Berlin. He went to Rome ou a visit last week, and as usual spent a good dofd of time at the Nobles' club, where play runs bighr~0ne evening the count lost 15,000 francs and nonchal­ antly drew a check on his Berlin bank­ ers for 25,000 francs, which he handed to the club steward, saying: "Pay 15,000 francs to these gentle­ men and give mo the difference. " This was done. The count paid> sev­ eral other visits to the club, but the day before the check was due back from Berlin he vanished. It turned out that his " account at his Berlin bankers amounted exactly to 63 francs, aud the check was of course dishonored. The affair caused a great stir at the foreign . office, for Count Visone was a trusted diplomat, who only recently, for over three mouths, acted as charge d'af­ faires at Berlin. Baron Blanc, the for­ eign niiuistofTHrntuediately dismissed the count from the diplomatic service, and it is hoped that the scandal will soon be forgotten, but this is not like­ ly,, beca.uso it has been utilized as a means of attacking the entire system in accordance with which the Italian dip­ lomatic service is filled with impecuni­ ous young sprigs of nobility, whose fam­ ilies consider it beneath their dignity to allow their sons to engage in commerce or even to enter any government em­ ployment other than the diplomatic serv­ ice as secretaries of embassies and lega­ tions. They of course have entrance in­ to the highest society wherever they are stationed, and as four out of five of them are inveterate gamblers the results are disastrous and fruitful of scandals like that of Count Visone. The matter is oc­ cupying the personal attention of King Humbert and may result in some kind of action ou his part with a view to put­ ting a stop to high play aruoug the Ro­ man nobility.--London Letter in New York Sun.
