The company refusing to pay it, he brought suit and got a verdict. JUST think of it! Here we have been using nasty, sticky fly paper and all manner-of disagreeable things to get fid .of flies, when we might have accomplish­ ed the same object in a delightfully ae>- -thetic way by keeping a few sweet pea -vines in the room.

WEARY travelers will welcome the new fashioned sleeping car. It has regular staterooms like a ship, and these can be locked. The passengers can stand up to undress and dress. --The berths are all one side of a corridor instead of being on both sides. All this has been accom­ plished by an ingenious sliding arrange­ ment of partitions which seems simple now that somebody has thought of it. A HOUSEKEEPER who was recommend­ ed to try cucumber peeling for cock­ roaches,-strewed the floor with pieces of the peel cut not very thin and watched the sequel. The pest covered the peel in a short time so that it could not be seen, so voracious were they engaged in suck­ ing the poisonous moisture. The second night this was tried the number of cock­ roaches was reduced to a quarter, and none were left alive on the third night. A TRAVELING man inquired of a report­ er if he had seen the new free silver pocketbooks, and, upon being given a negative answer, pulled out a specimen of the l'opocrat purse. The wallet w«^ in the shape of a stocking, fully two feet in length, and had the usual style of clasp at the top. The nether covering may have been one of Mary Ellen Lease's castoffs, but at any rate it is a clever advertising dodge put out by the Stand­ ard Remedy Company, of Chicago.

Fred Goodman, of this village, won the Championship of McHenry county, in the Bicycle Race, at the V\ oodstock Fair, on Wednesday of last week. It was done with perfect ease and to the aston­ ishment of some of the crack riders who were there. THE sale of Geo G. Smith's Trotting stock, at the Driving Park, on Saturday last, drew out quite a crowd but the prices were ruinously low. Not one horse in the lot brought one third its actual value. The close times and the low prices for which horses have been selling the past two years was, of course, the primary cause. Everything, however, was sold, from horses to halters. While the American Business College, Omaha, Neb., now offers to give a com- lete course of instruction in business branches by mail to a limited number of persons free of tuition, we would suggest the wisdom to young men and women who desire to obtain a business educa- tio u -to -H-v-ai I t-hemsel ves -of- this-splend i4- opportunity.

"Poor Jim Brown hung his earthly gar­ ments on a limb and swam the river yes­ terday. He didn't stand back because the water was cool, but struck out for the other shore, band over hand, where the i ngels were waiting for him with a finer suit of clothes than poor Jim ever wore in his life. Jim was a poor man, but he had his subscription to his home paper all paid up, and he received a hearty welcome on yonder shore."

The crowds each day were unusually large, and on Thursday is said to have been one of the largest ever seen on the grounds. The exhibits, however, as a whole, we think were hardly up to the standard. This we have heard remarked by many and just why it was so they were unable to tell. Be that as it may, as we said before it was a success finan­ cially and must leave the Society with a handsome balance after paying all Pre­ miums in full. WE have received from Prof. F. M. Goodman a copy of the Observer, one of the most interesting journals we have ever had the pleasure of receiving. It is designed, as the title page states, For students and lovers of nature." This journal, published monthly by F. E. Bigelow, Portland, Conn., was begun some years ago with sixteen pages, but in order to increase its popularity and subscription list now issues ninety-six pages of the most interesting matter every month. It has the following branches, each under the supervision of. a special editor: Botany, ornithology, conchologv. astronomy, cryptogamic botany, zoology, geology and micros­ copy. It is destined to be a great edu­ cator and is worthy the support of every intelligent person. The cost is only one dollar a year. "* Just received, a large order of the fa­ mous Piogree & Smith Shoes, in the lat­ est styles, for men, ladies, misses and children. These goods are without doubt the cheapest^shoe to buy, quality considered. OWEN & CHAPELL. McKinley and Hobart Club!

Address: The American Business College, Omaha, Neb To Patfbns oi the Public School. . - The Public School of the village of Mc­ Henry will be open for the Fall Term on Monday next, September 7th, and the Board of Education wish to have a few words with patrons, in order that there may be no misunderstanding hereafter. In the first place the Tuition for schol­ ars from outside the District will be as follows: High School, per month ."... $1.50 First and second Intermediate and Grammar, per month.. 1.25 First and second Primary, pe m'th 1,00 Payable in Advance; In the second place, some patrons have been iu the habit of "sending children into the Primary Department who under are six years of age. Now the law says that no child can be sent to school until they are six years old, v and as it can do the child under six years no good, and is certainly a great task for a teacher with fifty or sixty Scholars, and also an in­ justice to the scholars who are entitled to attention, the Board have decided that it is their duty to draw the linp and insist that no scholars be admitted to the school who are under school age. If parents-will but look at this matter in the right light and act upon their better judgment, they can very much assist the Board- and Teachers, in mak­ ing the School for the coming year a grand success. . : ' B - PER ORDER THE BOARD.
