BUCH has been treating the front of his building to a new coat of paint, which much improves its ap­ pearance. THE building occupied by A. C. Friedley hardware merchant, has been receiving a new coat of paint, and o^her needed im­ provements. CEANNINU N. WRIGHT, a son of A. S.

E- BAECHLER, Dentist, has mov­ ed into his new office, over Owen & Chapell's store, and is ready to wait up­ on all who desire his services. He now has a neat and convenient office. « You will miss a rich treat if you fail to attend the Stereopticon Lectures, at Kiyerside Hall, on Thursday and Friday evenings. See notice in another place in this paper. THE summer residence of E. Hoepe, north of Rosedale, on the river, which is being built b.y Peter J. Freund, promises to be a very handsome structure. When completed we will give an extended de­ scription of it. THE two and a half year old son of Thos. Kabon, of Algonquin, was drown­ ed in the creek, at that place, on Satur­ day, May 1st. The afflicted parents have the sympathy of the entire com­ munity in their bereavement. „ WE are informed that the Q. A. R. Post, of this village, will observe Memor­ ial Day on Sunday, May 30th, in an ap­ propriate manner. Hon. O. H. Gilmore, of Woodstock, has been engaged to de­ liver the address. Further particulars and a full programme next week. •A BOSTON paper says: "Spring is here at last. A butterfly was caught at the South end yesterday." This may be the proper way to catch a butterfly, but when yo'1 grab a wapp it is better to catch it about the middle, bhif ring north­ westerly towards the head. A PAPER in Lawrence, Kan., calls at­ tention to the fact that Adam and Eve were not married by a regularly ordain­ ed minister, and that they were married without a license. Family pride should keep the Kansas man from raking up and spreading before the public such stories of his ancestry. LOST, on the street east of the Mrs. Schreiner building, in West McHenry, on Sunday last, two Gold Kings, one a plain band ring and the other a guard ring set with three Garnets. The finder will be liberally rewarded by returning the same to En. LONG, West McHenry, 111. ON the first day of July the law per­ mitting the printing and use of private mailing cards, with one cent stamp affix­ ed, will go into effect. Progressive busi­ ness men will have their own advertise­ ment conspicuously displayed, and the printing of millions of cards will make work for the printer. The bill is approv­ ed by the post office department. It tends to popularize postal cards, besides effecting a saving to the government of the difference between the cost of the cards and the stamps. OLD age. is the reward of wisdom and virtue. The man or woman who lives close to nature and in accordance with the laws of life will remain on earth and enjoy good health much longer than onet who violates these laws. There can be no higher testimonial in the correctness of a man's life than extreme longevity. The old saying that "the good die young" ife more of a sarcasm than a truism. The good are long livers. Glad­ stone has been all his life a strict observer of the laws oHiealth. Had he been, like Lord Bryon, "sore given to revel and ungodly glee," and had he "spent his youth in riot mo t uncouth," the world would long ago have been deprived of his usefulness. We always feel like tak­ ing off our hat to'an old man, ' because, 1 to have attained his fulness of years, he must have been temperate, good-natured and law abiding.--Ex. , PERSONAL. H. E.

IN a long article on Illinois fishing grounds the Inter Ocean quotes the opinion of several prominent amateur sportsmen who say that the best fishing ground in Illinois is the Fox Lake region. Loon Lake, Deep Lake, Lake Marie and Grass Lake are among the lakes specially mentioneu as good lakes for fishing. ONE of London's most successful and wealthiest merchants says: "I always feel happy when advertising, for then I know that, waking or sleeping, I have a strong though silent orator working for me, who never tires, never sleeps, never makes mistakes, and who is certain to enter the households, from which, if at all, my trade must come." ROUT. R. HOWARD succeeded his father as proprietor of the West Side Market, May 1st.

Floor ManagersMat Weber, J. J. Barbian, Peter Bishop, Martin Wagner, McHenry; Peter Stadfleld, Yolo; Peter Freund, Jos. Freund, Johnsburgh; H. B. Dowe, Big Hollow. Tickets, 50c. Music by the McHenry Orchestra. Jos. Heimer, Proprietor, WE notice in the list of views oresented with the lecture "The Story of the Savior," to be trivrn at Riverside Hall,' one picture which is especially liotable. It is by the French artist Gerome and is called "Golgotha, it is Finished!" It represents the hour of the miraculous darkness at the time of the crucifixion; There is not a human figure in the whole picture, but on the ground the shadows of the three crosses are seen. ° The strange, wierd effect of the light in this picture is something wonderful. IN the Wauconda Leader of Saturday last we find the following items: On Saturday morning last, while Mr. Beech was calling at R. Johnson's, his team ran away and he was thrown from the rig and severely injured. For some time he was unconscious, but recovered so far by Monday that he was taken home where he is gaining slowly. Mr. Beech's friends trust that all may come out right, and that he will soon be out again. On Tuesday morning the community were startled by the announcement that H. T. Ladd was dying. Later reports proved it only too tru<?, and in a few minutes be had breathed his last. The funeral was held at the Baptist church, on Thursday afternoon, a minister from Barrington officiating. . ; DYSPEPSIA. You have tried "77" for Grip and Colds--now try "10," for Dyspepsia.

THE Board of Education, at their meeting on Thursday evening last, voted to. retain for the coming year the fol lowing teachers in their respective room-i: Prof. 4- S. Brazier, Principal; Mrs. Mary Cobb, Miss Fannie Osborne, Miss Jessie Baldwin, and Miss Elate Howe. . A teacher for the Grammar Room has not as yet been engaged, al­ though we understand the Board have on file several good applications. If there is any person in the world to whom the public, should bow and take off its hat it is the school teacher. Their's is a noble mission. They mould and fashion the young* lives as they should be, and from ungovernable, passionate young­ sters, make them men and women. The rooms represented by this above named teachers have been ably taught the past year, and the Board of Education gave their seal of approval by selecting them for the ensuing year. THE Social, by the ladies of the Univer- saiist Society, held at Hotel Riverside, on Friday evening last, was one of the mbst-pleasant of the season. The pro­ gramme was an excellent one through­ out. The piano solo, by. Miss Edna Story, the reading by Miss Bernice Perry the instrumental quartette, with piano accompaniment and the reading by Harry Eldredge, were all fine and were heartily applauded. The funny part of the program me was the dressing of the new woman, and brought but some ex­ perts in that line. After the programme came the cutting of the Scripture Cake, the pieces of which sold readily at five cents each. At an early hour the com­ pany departed for their homes, well pleased with their evening's entertain­ ment. The receipts of the evening were $9.50. .. d DURING the past thirty years the Chi­ cago Musical College has assisted hun­ dreds of talented and deserving students who have had no means to procure a musical education, or who were unable to pay the regular tuition of the College. As has been the rule for so many years, this institution will again issue a num­ ber of Free and Partial Scholarships. For the season of 1897--98 one hundred and twenty-five scholarships will be awarded. Twenty-five free, entitling the holders to free instructions for one school year, and 100 partial scholarships being a liberal reduction from the regu­ lar college rates. These scholarships are issued only in the Piano, Yiolin, Vocal and Dramatic Departments. All scholar­ ships - are awarded by examination, strictly upon merit, applicants being re­ quired to appear at the college. Appli­ cation must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from the Pastor of a church, Principal of a school, or other reliable person, certifying that the appli­ cant's circumstances will not permit of payment for instruction. Candidates must possess unusual talent and be in every way deserving of the benefits con­ ferred by the college. Applications must be made before August 9,1897. WE again call the attention of our readers to the Stereopticon lectures, to be given at Riverside Hall, May 13 and 14, by Dr. W, M. Fitch and Mr. A. M. Fitch, of Chicago. They have distributed a booklet discriptive of the lectures, which is in itself a work to be proud of, beautifully illustrated by photogravure cuts, and handsomely printed. The lecture on the life of Christ is written in blank verse except for six short rhymed poems entitled respectively, "Holy Night," "Stilling the Tempest," "Mary of Bethany," "Golgotha," and "Resur­ rection Morning," and it closes with a beautiful Easter poem, magnificently il­ lustrated, and entitled "The Mountain of the Holy Cross." The lecture on "Our Nation's Capital" is in prose but is not less cart fully fiuished than is the other. There are given in this lecture several poetical quotations, the conclu­ sion of the lecture being the beautiful and familiar poem, "The Blue and the Grey." There are also given two origi­ nal poems called "The Battle Field," and "Lines on the Statue of Washington." One hundred viewB, many of them finely colored, are given with each lecture, and the lantern is a tine double stereopticon, producing dissolving views 12x13 feet in dimensions. Come and bring the children. The Popular Douglas Shoes. There is no shoe made for men's wear that has attained a greater popularity than the celebrated W. L. Douglas shoe. The fact that they combine style and quality at a low price has given them universal indorsement. The manufac­ turers of these shoes has made it possible for a man in the most ordinary circum­ stances to keep himself provided with fobtwear of as good style as the market •affords--the extremely low price at which they are sold placing them within reach of all. The only cheap quality in them how­ ever is theprice; in all other respects they grade as high as any shoe in the market. Their lasting qualities have been fully tested and found to be un equaled. They are not only of good style when new but retain their shape and excellent appearance until complete­ ly worn out--a very rare quality in even the highest priced shoes. They are sold in McHenry by Simon Stoffel, who has just received a new invoice of the various ityles. Froceodinr" of the Board of Trustees 'COUNCIL ROOM, April 26,1897.

The wagon and team parted company at Mr. Waterman's maple tree, the "team continuing west. No one was injured. Thursday morning Bennie Hudson had the misfortune to hava his leg broken. He was riding a spirited horse which reared and fell. In falling young Hud­ son's foot was caught under the horse, both bones being brokeu a few inches above the ankle. At present he is doing as well as could be expected. Many years ago there was an evil in all the little villages, known as the town cow. While we have escaped, to some extent, this great sin producer, there has been enough to cause murmurings along our western border. But on Friday last» that murmur burst into a shout when it was found "the enemy had penetrated to the heart of the city" and was devouring some choice seed potatoes. Like Early, in the Shennendoah, she failed to keep her weather eye open while plundering, consequently she was surprised by a fire in the rear. All hope of escape being cut off, she quietly surrendered and wks cast into prison with a halter about her neck, to make doubly sure of the prize. What passed through tjie prisoners mind dur­ ing her short hour of solitary confine­ ment will never be known, but it is sup­ posed she grew despondent. The coroner sat on her the same evening and pro­ nounced her a good cow. R I D G E F I E L D . Earle Truax left for Chicago Saturday. Miss Eunice Carpenter, of Woodstock, spent Sunday at J. B.

Fill a bottle or cbmmon water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too' frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowlege so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer'sSwamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder, and every'part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil­ ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it; or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin ate. The mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. I«- stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should baV^ the best.
