IF thereis one thing more than another that will cause a man to elevate his chin another degree and fill his lungs more completely with the perfume ot nature's exhilerating oxygen, it is to have some­ one, as the boys say, "trying to saw his neck."

DUFIELD, of Woodstock, passed through here on Tuesday morn- FOURTH OF JULY. Will we celebrate? That is the ques tion. Last year McHenry got up one of the best and most interesting celebra­ tions ever held in the county. With this experience there is no good reason why we should not do the same, and improve upon it, if that is possible. Let us wake up at once, call a meeting, appoint com­ mittees and-go to work. We. hope to be able to announce soon that McHenry will celebrate. Who will make the first move ? THE Strawberry and Ice" Cream Festi­ val, by the ladies of the Willing Workers Society, to be held at the City Hall, on Friday evening of this week, May 21, promises to be a very pleasant and en­ joyable affair. There will be a short Literary Entertainment, after which Ice Cream and Strawberries will be serv­ ed to all who wish. AU are cordially invited. THE German carp planted by the fish commissioner in Fox -river nearly ten years ago are becoming numerous and some attain a large size. Though these fish grow large and are said to be fairly good to eat, fishermen^ look upon them with disfavor. Carp, it is said, extermi­ nate other fish by eating the spawn. AN Indiana editor was recently success­ ful in a suit against a delinquent sub­ scriber who had "never ordered the paper" (?) but who, it was found, had regularly called for it and taken it out of the postoffice for two yearB. The court ordered that the subscription account of $3 and $1G cost of suit, be paid. IN its last issue the Antioch News pub­ lished the delinquent tax list^ county, which required fifty-otM of regulation size. Messrs. Storms did themselves proud The list is neatly printed and ally legible. The News has facj this particular class of work any in Lake county. % A FIRM of organ makers in having sent some of its advert ter to a rural church, got this ing reply: "We are command melody in our hearts to the L pipe organs, g£ horns, or fiddles. is more glory to god in a splinter on an old rail than there is in 10,000 pipe organs.

Saturday says: "The Elgin delegates to the Modern Woodmen convention, at Clinton, la., found things at a white heat. The head banker, Zink, was found to be short $45,000 in his accounts and excessive extravagance was charged against the officers all along the line. It will be some time before the head camp can be moved, owing to legal and other complications. WHEN you fight or work don't make a fuss. The hen cackles after she has laid the egg. The noise and sizzle of the locomotive are not force. All force is silent. The hee-haw of the mule may startle you, but it is not so dangerous as his hind legs. Bear in mind that it is au empty wagon that rattles most when in motion. The noise of the drum is due to the fact that there is nothing in it. AT a meeting of the Milk Dealers Asso­ ciation, held in Chicago a few days ago, the following-scale of prices for milk was set for the ensuing six months. May. 00c; J une, 60c; July, 70c; August, 70c: September, 80c; October, 80c. This is considered an improvement over the former way of making prices, and will perhaps prove more satisfactory to the majority of shippers. : OUR esteemed cotemporary, the Rich­ mond Gazette, commenced volume 22, April 22d, a fact which we have inad- rertently omitted to mention until now. The Gazette, under its present man­ agement has made a steady improve­ ment each year, and is now a paper of which Richmond has just cause to feel proud.•> That brothers Holmes & Wright may live long to enjoy the fruits of their labors is the wish of the PLAINDEALER.

R. at Galesburg, in general order No. 1, dated May 10, establishes the head­ quarters of the department at No. 89 Washington street, Chicago. The follow­ ing appointments are also announced: Assistant Adjutant General, C. A. Par­ tridge, Post 374, Waukegan; Assistant Quartermaster General, C. B. Wilson, Post 5, Chicago. OUR old and esteemed cotemporary, the Marengo Republican, has just closed the thirtieth year of its existence and is just as bright and frisky as a three year old. Brother Babcock is a born news­ paper man, always gives his readers d bright, newsy and clean paper, and one which grows better from year to year. It is one of the best exchanges that comes to our table. Here, brother Babcock, is our hand for thirty years more. A WESTERN editor has invented an in­ fernal machine which he places in an envelope and sends to those who "refuse" the paper after taking it three years with out paying for it. The machine explodes and kills the whole family, and the frag- ments*§hat fall in the back yard kill the dog. GlbryNcertainly awaits the editor when he gets jnto the sanctuary above. He will have an upholstered chair and Lthe covered that there are no less than ten repetitions of the unlucky number 13 on one side of the silver quarter. There are 13 stars, 13 letters in the scroll the eagle holds in its bpak, 13 marginal feathers in each wing, 13 tail feathers, 13 parallel lines in the shield, 13 horizontal bars, 13 arrow heads in one claw, 13 leaves on the branch in the other claw, an J just 13 letters in the words "quarter dollar." OWING to a technical error in making out the tax levies the C. & N. W. R'y has refused to pay a portion of its taxes this spring, leaving the Union district, in Nunda about $450 short, Harvard $1,500, Algonquin $250, Cary $150 and some other districts in lesser sums. The law allows but a 2 per cent tax for ordi­ nary purposes^ and the Northwestern attorneys have looked che matter down and find in some caBes the legal levy has been exceeded.

He is also getting -out another very handsome monument, made of Vermont Marble, for the late Joshua Chase, of Ringwood. A WOMAN can come to a conclusion without the slightest trouble of reason­ ing and no sane man can do that. Six of them, can talk at once and get along first rate and no two men can do. that. She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his thumb nail. She is cool as a cucumber in a half dozen tight skirts, while a man will growl and fume in a loose shirt. She can talk as sweet as a peach to a woman whom she hates, while two taen would punch each others heads before they had ex­ changedten wordfe. She can sharpen a lead pencil • if you give her time and' plenty of pencils. : • A FEW weeks ago a, young man bought & pair of socks containing a note say ing the writer was an employe of the Keno­ sha, Wis., knitting works and wanted a good husband. She gave her name and requested tibe buyer, if an unmarried man, to write with a view to matrimony. The young man who found the note con­ sidered the matter in all its phases and decided to write to the girl. He did. Awaiting the answer with much anxiety, he was at last rewarded with a curt let­ ter stating the girl was now the mother of two children and had been married four years, and the letter he had answer­ ed had been written ever so long ago. It was a "sock dollager," and the young man hunted for a solution. He found it. The merchant of whom he bought the socks doesu't advertise. A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT. In the language of our esteemed co- temporary, the Richmond Gazette, the Stereoptican Lecture, at Riverside Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings last, "was the finest thing of the kind that ever struck this town, and many aver that it was the equal of any given in the large cities." The lecture the first even­ ing was "The Story of the Savior," and the second oue "Our Nation's Capitol." The Lectures both evenings were fine in every particular, and proved Dr. Fitch to be a man of rare literary ability. The views were certainly the finest we evei- saw. We can only r>.peat what we said before the entertainment, that those who failed to attend missed a rich treat. We take great pleasure in recommending this entertainment as being first class in every particular and well worthy of the patronage of the public wherever they may go.

HOW TO FIND OUT. - Till a bottle or common 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.
