THJE WATER WORKS. - The preliminaries for the McHenry Water Works Plant are progressing favorably, the plans and specifications being completed, land for the stand pipe purchased, and bids for the construction of the works advertised for. The Village Board are deserving of great praise for the manner in which they are taking hold of the matter. They are going slow but sure, so that wheu completed there will be left no loop-hole, whereby there will be one thing omitted that will tend to lessen its value to the village, or where one cent of the people's money can be squandered. When this plant is fin­ ished they propose to have as complete Water Works Plant as can be found the State for its size, and we predict that when completed and in working, order those who are now inclined to be against the improvement will be. the loudest in their praise. It is expected that the Plant will be finished and in working order by November next. ORRXAN CATHOLIC PICNIC.

In short no pains will be spared to make it pleasant for all who attend. We predict for them a large gathering.

THE accidents to pedestrians, especially t,) children, sometimes even to wheelmen themselves are briuging about a demand that is sure to grow more earnest on the part of the public and the press for the use of brakes on bicycles, thinks the Dixon Sun. While expert cyclists may be able to get along as well without as with a brake, the ordinary cycler and also the senseless "scorcher" cannot very well do without what is a necessary safe* guard. We have on exhibition, at this office, an Automatic Bicycle Brake that will fill the bill in every particular. Hotel Arrivals.
