HOPKINS will accept thanks for a copy of his speech, in the House of Representatives on "Tariff and Reci­ procity."

ATTEND the entertainment at River­ side Hall, on Friday evening and thus put in your mite for the benefit of the School Library. THE cold, frosty weather still continues in this section, and those who contempla­ ted taking down their coal stoves have abandoned the idea and ordered another supply of coal. A. ENGELN has commenced clearing up the rubbish preparatory to building on the site of the late fire. He inform? us he will put up a brick building 24x60, two stories high. A party with dynamite is blasting rofeks on the farm of Bradford Smith, a half mile north of this village. The fre­ quent explosions were a mystery to many for several days. ELGIN is trying to get the head Camp of Modern Woodmen. Elgin is perhaps more entitled to it. than any other city from the fact that she has the largest camp of Woodmen in the order. THE Zither and Mandolin Club, of Chi­ cago, gave a Concert and Ball at the McHenry House, on Monday evening. The hall was well filled and all report a pleasant time, ^ AT the Village Election in Richmond, on Tuesday, the question of License or No License was the issue, and the advo­ cates of License won by a majority of three.

THE state law for the protection of wild geese, duck, brant and other water fowl went into effect April 15 and re­ mains operative until the middle of September. The penalties for violations of this section of the statutes is severe. THE rooms vacated by L. E.

THE advertisers who draw trade to a town do mere for a place than they usually get credit for doing. It is this class that makes business and knows how to hold it when made. They even give old fogies a chance to make money, but the latter class doesn't appreciate it. c - J. D. LODTZ, Merchant Taflor, is now offering Gepts Furnishing Goods, all kinds, at from 15 to 25 per cent below former prices. His stock is new and of the latest styles, which he wishes to re­ duce to make room for other goods in his line. Call and see him and inspect his goods. Miss ETHEL OWEN, the eleven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. N. Owen, celebrated her birthday on Friday after­ noon last, by giving a Bundle and Bub­ ble party to her little friends, at her home. Games of all kinds were played and they had a jolly time, after which a dainty supper was served before they de­ parted for their homes. WE are at last to have a Telephone line direct to Chicago. It is to come by the way of Lake Zurich and Wauconda to McHenry, and then continue north striking Hebron in the route. Work on the same is now being pushed rapidly. This is what we have long needed and will be welcomed by our business men generally. p* AT the election for members of the Board of Education, in this District, held at the City Hall on Saturday last, there was only one ticket i 1 the field and con­ sequently it was a very tame affair, only fifty-seven votes being polled. The fol­ lowing named were elected : President--James-B. Perry. Members of the Board-- Wm. A. Cristy, Geo. n. Hanly. THE Easter exercises.at the Universal­ ist church, on Sunday eveninjr, were of the most interesting character. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, and Jill were highly pleased with the singing and recitations of the Sunday School scholars, who showed- a pro­ ficiency of drill highly creditable to those having the matter in charge. The church was decorated with flowers and present­ ed a very handsome appearance. THE twin daughters 01 Mr. and Mrs Ben Wegener, who reside east of this village, aged about six months, are both dead. ' They were sick but a short time The funeral of the first was held Sunday morning, the 4th, and the last to die was buried Wednesday morning, the 7th, both interments beine in the Catholic cemetery.

The Corporation Election, in this vil­ lage, on Tuesday last, proved quite a spirited a^air, although, practically there was but one ticket in the field, the President and Clerk having no oppo­ sition, while for the three Trustees there were five candidates. Two hundred and thirty-three votes were polled, which re­ sulted in the election of the following : , Preiident--John I. Story. 'I r us tees--C. H. Granger, A. P. Baer, Isaac Went worth. .--..; ; . Clerk--A. 0. Rupp. The six trustees for the coming year are: C. H. Granger, Isaac Wentworth, A. P. Baer, Peter J. Freund, John Heimer, J. H. Miller. AN exchange says that "the supreme court has^decided that poultry running at large is wild game, and the partv upon whom they trespass has a perfect right to kill them. No man has a right to allow hie chickens to run at large and bother his neighbors." - THE improvements in the interior of Owen & Chapell's store are nearly com­ pleted, which make it one of the hand­ somest and best arranged stores in this section. They have finished off the room adjoining on the south, into which they moved their entire grocery stock, and the part in the main store fnus vacated has been fitted up as a shoe department They thus sain more room to display goods and at the same time make it much handier to do business. It is a great improvement on the bid store. EVERY well regulated newspaper will do anything honorable to please its sub­ scribers, and every paper has a class' of subscribers to whom nothing is so ex­ cruciatingly gladdening as to discover in the paper a grammatical, orthograph­ ical or typographical blunder. They will walk a, mile to point it out to you all un­ conscious that it was put there on pur­ pose to please them and give them something to talk about. Many people profess to doubt the statement, but nevertheless we, all of us, strive to please. THAT McHenry has the best Harness Maker in the county, in the person of Gus Carlson, is evidenced by the large amount of work he is receiving, being obliged to work night and day to keep up yith his orders. He informs us that he has jpade to order since January 1st, twenty-eight set of light and heavy Har­ ness, and still has four orders on hand uncompleted. Besides this he has sold in the same time sixteen set of ready- made Harness. Good work and honest prices will tell, and both you are sure to get are Carlson's. Call and see him when in want of anything in his line. WE learn from Richmond of an un­ usually successful entertainment given by the ladies of the Congregational church, in aid of their building fund. Dr. W. M. Fitch, of Chicago, who is one of the summer visitors at Twin Lakes, and his cousin, Arthur M. Fitch, gave a etereopticon lecture at the Opera House, entitled, "The Story of the Saviour." The lecture was unusually good and magnificently illustrated with more than one hundred views. The usual comment seemed to be: "It was ever so much better than I expected." The Opera House was we)l filled and the ladies are congratulating themselves on their suc­ cess. Dr. Fitch has promised to give them another lecture soon on the "City of Washington." CONSIDERABLE excitement has been aroused by the appearance in the west­ ern and northwestern skies, recently, of what many people claim is an airship. It has been seen from different points in the western states, and has been variously described as having front and rear lights wings, being cigar-shaped, etc. Some believe that it is an airship in which the inventor is sailing around at leisure and with pleasure, mystifying beholders. Astronomers say it is the largest star of the constellation Orion, which contains 107 members visible to the naked eye and millions to be seen by telescope; or the planet Venus which now is the even­ ing star, is unusually brilliant at this season of the year, rises and sets quickly in the evening along the western horizon, and seems to travers that part of the heavens.

Below is a part of the sermon as preached by the pastor. He said: "When I was in Mr. Moody's meeting, in Chicago, I sat in the Auditorium and heard that vast choir of one thousand voices sing. When they had sung the verse the leader turned and asked the audience to join in the chorus, and from base to balcony the praises of God rang out until it seemed there could not have been a more exalted volume of melody if the whole city had joined. As I sat I let my eye follow my ear and passed over that great choir, than bank over the main floor up to the first gal­ lery, still on up to the second, then to the third, and finally to the very top in the fourth balcony and saw that sea of human faces, lit up with the radience of Heaven, and listened to that voluptuous sound which was now_ rising like the sound of many angry waters trying to reach the topmost peak alon^ some craggy shore, my soul began to cry ont, 'My God I Is this only earth? What will it be when the curtains of eternity are rolled back on the resurrection--mora^ when death shall have been swallowed up in victory, when Gabriel shall have summoned the nations of the earth to come forth, and the land and sea shall give up. their dead and the corruptible of those who sleep shall be changed and be made like unto his glorious body. And from the east, from the west, from the north and from the south the na­ tions of the earth shall begin to ascend toward the throne of God and the Lamb, till tier above tier, section above section, column above column, the celestial hosts of every nation, kindred and tribe shally have filled the whole dome of Heaven." Then shall the heavenly choirester sweep his hand down over the strings of his great harp to summon the angelic choir, who from their crowded galleries shall break forth in singing, 'Worthy, worthy, is the Lamb that was slain.' Then shall the whole company, with their newly tuned voices, in one mighty strain of heavenly melody, which shall shake the very frame work of heaven, join in the song of Moses and the Lamb with untir­ ing voices. That multitude of the heavenly host shall break forth more powerfully than before, singing 'Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts.' With this sense of coming glory for the re­ deemed I forget the world, its dabors, its toils and its disappointments, and counted not my life dear unto myself that I might win Christ. Is this to you a mere play of words? If not abandon yourself, give iup your pride, be willing to kneel at the foot of the cross, confess ('hriot. Be ye not hearers' of the word only, but be ye doers of the word. Mav we not now and in the quiet of this hour enlist under the banner of the cross?" COM. RINGWOOD Have you- seen the air ship ?
