They are certainly masters of their profession, aud picnics or other societies who wish to have a drawing card can do no better than to engage these gentlemen, as they are suretp draw a crowd and give perfect satisfaction. THE Picnic, under the auspices of the German Catholic Congregation, of this village, held on Saturday and Sunday last, drew out a large crowd, and was a success, financially and otherwise. Every!hing passed off in the most quiet and orderly manner, and to the satisfac­ tion of both the entertainers and the en­ tertained. We understand, the receipts were soinewhere in the neighborhood of $ 1,000, which, after paying exnenses, will leave a handsome sum for the bene* lit of the church. X. S.

Mr. Wright is a druggist of many years experience, having been in Woodstock for nearly t hirty years, .and knowing the wants oi the people in his line never fails to-meet them. Whenever to the Fair do not fail to call in and see his im­ provements.' The MeOormtck Corn Harvester. We had the pleasure of witnessing a trial of the McCormick Corn Harvester, which took place on the farm of Chas. Page, southwest of this village, on Wed­ nesday forenoon of last week. About 75 men witnessed the trial and we believe all were pleased with its working and •unaui- moj^iu its praise. < The fnachine did its work splendidly, cutting and binding the heavy green | corn easily and quickly, two horses pull-1 ing it w ith no apparent effort. With the exception of breaking the string on one or two bundles there was no flaw in its work from start to finish, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary the claim of its being "the only success" wajs unanimously conceded to be a fact. It certainly is a wonderful machine, and we do not believe that farmers with large fields of corn can afford to be with- ALGONQUIN'S CALAMITY! Father and Daughter-Cremated. ' The mills of the Gods grind slowly, "But they grind exceedingly fine." Is an old saying which the events of the past few days, in the, village, of Algon­ quin, has proved to express a truth. For two years or more the citizens of this village have been agitating the question of establishing a systepi of water works which would guarantee sufficientPprc- tection against fire, and also furnish, a reasonable supply of water for all domes­ tic purposes.. As was natural the citi-. zens of the village were somewhat divided, on the question, but the prevailing sen­ timent has, during the present .season, |t'on> .?*nd the_effe^t of suffocating smoke, and caugh t his clothes and tore them off him but were unable to grflflp any.* por- tion'of his body which would allow them to raisa him through, the window. His body was limp and lifeless and evidently field down by some he&vy article which must have fallen upon him and held him fast. The smoke and flame speedily drove the rescuers from the po,rch and nothing more was known until the char­ red body, armless and legless, was taken from the ruins directly under the place where he was known, as above described, to have fallen. The child's remains were never recovered, being. undoubtedly en­ tirely cremated. The probability is that Mr. Kosar, who' was a sufferer from asth'ma aud heart disease, succumbed, to one or thV other of thesfe diseases, through the' ejects of excited over exer- Busioess Locals. 27 th. -< obliged to move him on a cot. He ix out one, as the great saving of time and gradually failing and probably will not | fodder will almost pay for a machine the live but a short time. He has hosts of friends here who feel deep sympathy for been decidedly in favor of establishing the water works. Recently the Milage Board have advertised for bids to put in such works, and it seemed to. the advo­ cates of the improvement that they held the winning, hand. ' Bids were to be opened. Sept.-1st aud - the, works were to be completed- before the cold weather of the coming winter. But^n- the meantime '.another vigorous question had arisen. Thf, drought of the summer was leaving- the village iu a dangerous -condition,, ready for the touch of any spark to ig-. nite the superabundance ol Inflammable material, and carry destruction broad­ cast through our streets and hofnes. The question w&s, would fire and destruction put in their deadly work before the water works system was completed. Saturday night this question was decid­ ed and fire won the race. Mr, James Pyott, of" Chicago, was re­ turning home about midnight antl noticed first the fire, when he was near the Morton Hotel, lie quickly alarmed the inrilates of the hotel and the many men there went at once to the scene of the fire, which was about two blocks further south on the main street of the village. The exciting cry of "Fire! Fire!!" was shouted through the streets and all who heard the cry aroused^. A Tew minutes after midnight Mr. Fn nk Yerkesand family were aware that fire aud smoke were "issuing from the adjoin­ ing building, (only ten feet away from them) and they at once rushed from the building they occupied, very scantily dressed, aud with bare and blistered feet reached the sidewalk, but with all their household goods abandoned to destruc­ tion. About 1") minutes after 12 the night watchman at the Illinois Con­ densing Factory, noticed the light of-t-he- tire and at once awakened the sleeping inhabitants, of the village by sounding the factory whistle loud and long, re­ peating the whistle as fast as steam could be made to give forth the sound. By this time th^/tire had spread to the house and store of C. C. Chunn on the Uorth of the building occupied by V. F. Kosar as a shoe store, where the fire originated. The fire fiend had taken pos­ session of the Weinke House; occupied by Mr. Yerkefe and family, and down stairs by Wm. Swaiin and family. These three buildings, all large two story edifices, made when thoroughly ignited and burn­ ing a great blaze and the heat began to blister and scorch the wooden buildings across the street and adjoiuing on other sides. C. E. Chapell's fine residence was only about fifteen feet from the Weinke House, and as the latter building burst into flame the smoke issuing from the Chapell house indicated that its doom was also decreed- " Everybody in the neighborhood was now on hand and actively engaged in moving furniture, etc., from the Chapell house, and a few neighboring buildings, which were threatened. Soon the Cha­ pell house was in flames, but, as the fire was first developed in the upper stories, it did not make the intense side radiating heat that theothers did, and consequent­ ly, Henry Geister's house, Christ. Geis- ter's house aud the buildings on the op­ posite side of Main Street were saved, excepting a breakage of glass in windows from heat, and scorching and blistering of the wooden fronts from a like cause. By three o'clock the fire had complet­ ed its active and aggressive task aud the group of four building it had attack­ ed had succumbed to its fierce assaults. But by this time, thanks to the fact that no wind had developed, it was assured that any further progress of the flames need not be feared, as the buildings on fire were fast becoming a mass of hot and burning cinders, .fallen into their own cellars, and it was a remarkable and noticeable fact that hardly a fallen tim­ ber or piece of burning debris was fo.und then he fell on the inside of the wiudpw where his would-be rescuers attempted to grasp him, and never recovered con­ sciousness. The child, dazed and excited probably instinctively rushed to her only known out-Jet from the building, the' Stairway,which was early a, furnace of fierce flames, and there met instant death. Altogether a very terrible aud sad tragedy. The mother, cut, bleeding and dazed with: the rush of events, escap­ ed with two children, but she' is yet in such a state of nervous and mental shock and excitement as to: render uncer­ tain her prospects of future health and life, . . ' . ' • ' ' • ' - ' The loss in property ̂ variously estimat­ ed, is probably about §10,000, partly covered by insurance. The lesson of the fire is plain. The village must have a water works system, which can furnish water in quantity in time of need, oi else be utterly at the mercy of fire and wind whenever any cause starts a blaze in a dangerous situation. Wells are of no val'Ue as we have them in Algonquin. The surface wells are shallow and exhausted in a few minutes, and the bored wells are of too slow deliv­ ery'for effective use, as was proved at this fire, aud also at the fire which de­ stroyed the German Lutheran parson­ age some two years ago. Both in that tire and in this the only supply of water of any value was that furnished by the Condensing Factory. This was brought to the scene of the fire by wagon loads, iu ten gallon cans, faster than it could be handled, aud proved the means ol saving the surrounding buildings which were threatened but escaped the fire fiend. It was "TV evident from the course of J .ke two fires mentioned above, from which we have suffered recently, that for water to be valuable and useful in ex­ tinguishing a| fire or in restraining the spread of the flames, a large amount ol water must be delivered at the point of need in the shortest possible space ot time. Unless the fire is, as it were, drowned out, it more than holds itt- own, and spreads until all available fuel is consumed. So that a system?of water works is of no value for public use unless on a scale that guarantees that abund­ ant water can be discharged at place of need, in a very short time. Another need in this village, is a water supply in n sufficient quantity in reservoirs to hold out for several hours use as above speci­ fied. With these two qualifications guar­ anteed the other details of the system are matters of good mechanical work. That we need such a system of water works in the village of Algonquin, and that we shall have it soon, in the light of last Saturday's terrible calamity, is a very satisfying conclusion. W. A. N.

I carefully read the directions and gave them ac­ cordingly. He was very low, but slowly and surely he began to improve, grad­ ually recovered, and is now as strong as ever.
