They are a team, taking everything into consideration, that are hard to beat. KATYDIDS, bats and crickets have been working their vocal organs over time the past week or two.

" BEN H," the promising young trot ter, by "Geo. O," won the Free-for-All at the Woodstock Fair last week, lower­ ing his record to 2:22%. We think he is bound to get below twenty before the it-ieason is over. There are only two of the lower animals that hiss--a snake and a goose, and no reflection is intended toward snakes and geese when you hear it said that there are human beings who are painfully like them. , HON.

MILLER, the Marble Dealer, put up a handsome monument, in the Wau- conda Cemetery, in memory of the wife of T. V. Slocum, of that village. Like all the work corning from his shop, it was a credit to Mr. Miller's workman­ ship. A lively runaway passed through our streets on Friday evening, and as it wag dark many narrow escapes are reported but fortunately no one was injured. They brought up in the lumber yard, near the depot, without any damage to themselves or wagon. We did not learn whose team it was. ONE day a minister called on Horace Greeley to get a subscription for a tem­ perance society. "Mr. Greeley, I want to get a subscription from you for tiiiw society to prevent people from going to hell." "Clear out," said Greeley, "I will not give you a cent.

ED. GRANGER has entered his running horse "Springwell" at the Belvidere and Libertyville Fairs, the only two?Fairs in this part of the state that, advertise run­ ning races. "Springwell" is by "Spring­ bok" but as he has been owned around here but a short time not one hero has yet seen him run, and therefore cannot judge of his chances to win. The fact that he has been entered for the races shows that Ed. has confidence that he can make a good showing. THERE will be an entertainment at the City Hall, on Saturday evening of this week, Sept. 4th, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E church.

A BENEVOLENT lady undertook to fill a a hungry tramp who came begging at the door. The fellow found fault with the victuals, laughed at the, "patent leather pie" and ended by saying that he never expected to recover from the damaging effect of that meal. When the husband came home at night and heard the story he was mad clear through. "You cowardly chump," said the man to his son, "when you heard that critter talking that way to your mother why did not you come and tell me; I'd a walloped him." "1 heard him pa, but 1 thought it was you. He went on just as you do when the grub don't suit you."--Ex. OWING to other duties we were unable to attend the Fair but a few hours the last day, and therefore we are not able to write up the exhibits in the different departments as we otherwiso would have doue. From those who did attend we learn that the show in every depart­ ment was very creditable and not behind former years. Financially it was a complete success, the attendance being large each day, and on the third day, Thursday, there was one of the largest crowds ever seen on the grounds, it being variously at from 8,000 to 10,000 people. Therefore the Fair of 1897 will pass into history as a financial success as well as a creditable show. ---- PERSONAL. JAS.B. PERRY attended to business in Chicago on Saturday. WE are under obligations to Mrs. E. H Walker ior a copy ot Among the Clouds, paper printed on the summit of Mount. Washington, 0,300 feet above the sea Among the arrivals at the Summit House on Thursday, August 18, we notice the names of Mrs. E. H. Walker, McHenry, and Miss E. A. Martin, Chicago, THE many friends of Mrs. John R. Burpee, who formerly resided here, but who now lives with her daughter at Morelaud, were sorry to learn that she was taken quite sick last week at the res­ idence of her daughter, at Elgin, where she was visiting. She is reported much better now and hopes are entertained of her speedy recovery. THE corn pest has appeared in the southern part of the state. It is about the size of and resembles Bkippers that frequently infest meat and other fatty substances. They are found behind the blade, next to the stalk, the same aB chinch bugs, and are very numerous. They seem to affect the corn fully as much as do the bugs. We have not, however, heard of anything of the kind in this part ot the state. AGAIN we remind persons moving threshing engines from one place to another what the law requires of them The law strictly forbids t he engine to be run across a highway bridge until two- inch planks have been laid down for the wheels to run on. Further, the law savu that on using the highway a man shall walk 100 feet fn front of the engiue to prevent horses from becoming scared at the engine, and that it must stop while horses are passing it. A strict ob­ servance of the law may prevent many accidents. Devil's Lake. Last excursion of the year to thfs won­ derful and mysterious lake, Sunday, Sept. 12. Round trip only$l 50.

BURKE met with quite a fievere accident on the Fair grounds, at Wood­ stock, on Friday last. While driving off the track he was rnu into by auother team, and in the collision was thrown from his buggy, and his feet becoming entangled he was dragged quite a dis­ tance, scratching and bruising his face in a horrid manner. He was rescued from his perilous position by the crowd, but the horse ran^ away and went abound the track three or four times before he could be stopped. The party who ran into Mr. Burke immediately drove off and in the excitement no one thought to find out who it was. HON. F. K. GRANGER had another nar­ row escape from death while returning from the Fair on Thursday evening last When a short distance this side of Wood­ stock one hind wheel of his carriage went down, and thinking the carriage was go­ ing over he attempted to jump out, but his feet becoming entangled in the lap robe he fell in such a position that the wheels passed over his chest and shoulder doubling him up like a a jack knife. When picked up it was thought he was seriously hurt, but on examination no bones were found to be broken, but he was bruised quite seriously, so that he was obliged to Btay indoors for a few days. It was a fortunate accident, but Mr. Granger thinks they are coming a little too thick for comfort. He is now able to be on the streetH again. No man who lives on meat was ever known to lick his wife or ask for a di­ vorce. Adam got into a row right off because he had no hog meat, butter or black bass. Napoleon lost Waterloo be­ cause the allied forces had bacon • for breakfast the morning of the fight. The French bad vegetable soup. The South had to give in at Appomattox because it was out of meat. No war can be suc- ccBtfully waged without hog meat. Americans are the most frisky people on earth because they eat the most hog meat. A vegetable diet woman is as cold, clammy and unlovable as a turnip. If you wish to put roses on the cheeks of your girls, vitality in every motion, and brains in their heads, feed them meat. If you want your boy to get a job and hold it, go to the front and amount to some something, give him bacon grease, ham fat or tallow three times a day. The world is full of cranks who are always getting up some new fad about hay soup or corn fodder tea. Rumors have been afloat the gist of which was that a saloon had been allow ed to open on the county Fair Grounds, by the payment of a license of #200 for four days. The Fair authorities have heen interviewed aud they emphatically deny the truth of the report. There has beeu no thought of any such concession, "Truth crushed to earth," etcNunda Hera 1<1. The Fair authorities emphatic denial to the contrary not withstand there was a saloon runiling in full blast on the Fair grounds. Whether or not they paid a license to do so no one but the Fair authorities positively know, bui they gave them no such "concession why did they allow them to run? There are some people who don't care, and there are many who do care, and we be­ lieve the latter are in a large majority It Certainly was no place for a saloon and it w&s clearly the duty of the officers of the society to see that no such breach of the law was allowed. Their simple de­ nial will do them no good. The truth stands out clear and it certainly is disgrace to the society, and is being strongly condemned on all sides.

HANKlNS DEAD! The Corn Harvester Trial. As a spectator of the Corn Harvester Trial, on the farm of Ilanly Bros., on Tuesday, I cannot refrain from mention­ ing a few facts in connection therewith. In the first place the Osborne machine was perfectly new, having never been put together until taken out of the cars at the depot, while the Deering had been used in another trial, was all limbered up and in good smooth running order, which makes a great difference in any machinery. Secondly, the Osborue' was working up hill all the time while the Deering was working down hill, another great advantage. And third, on one row the Deering cloggel three times while the Osborne never clogged once during the trial. When we take all these facts into con­ sideration it must bo admitted by all fair-minded men that the Deering ma­ chine has no license to claim a victory. A. J. Raymond tho agent for the Osborne stands ready to go into the field with the Deering or any other machine when they can have an equal show. ONE WHO WAS THERE. Smothered in a Folding Bed. On Wednesday evening of last week the Chicago papers brought the startling news thatAI. Hankins,a former McHenry boy, and well known throughout this county, had been smothered in a folding bed at his room, 3908 Cottage Grove Avenue, in that city, about one o'clock on that day. It appears from the ac­ counts'published that it was his custom to take a sleep about that time of day, and it is supposed that the bed, which was an old fashioned affair of great weight, in some way had got out of or­ der, which caused it to collapse with the results above stated. Alfred Haukins Was born at McHenry, 111, 55 years ago. In his youth he learn­ ed the trade of harness-maker. In 1863 he went to Montana during the mining fever, and went into minfng at Virginia City. He returned to Chicago in -1865, but went back to, Montana the same year, and remained at Blackfoot, Mont., for two years being interested jn mining From there he went to Salt Lake City in 1866. His next move was to White Plain, Nev., where he spent the summer of 1868. In that year he returned to Chicago, having 'gathered a considerable fortune, and sin, e then he has devoted himself chiefly to his farm and his racing stable. ' v Mr. Hank ins stock farm of 180 acres is at Hurlbut, Ind., where for years ha has beeu a breeder of race horses. Five racers are at present on the iarm and ac­ cording to Fremont Sloan, his trainer, three are at the stables of the Harlem track. These are Golightly, Golden Rod and Gilt Edge. He owned the famous stallions Aristides and Grenada, aud also Malcomb, the sire of the dam of Yo Tambien. He has left property valued at 150,000. He carried no life insurance. In 1S92 Mr, Hankins was married to Miss Ella Thorpe, of Chicago, who, with two daughters, Mrs. J. K. Blackstone, and Cora Bell, survives. Besides these ne leaves one brother, Ue:>. V. Hankins, audthiee sisters, Mrs. John McOmber, Mrs. G. T. Howe and Mrs. Mary Gage, all of Chicago, to mourn his loss. Al-Hankins was a whole-souled, genial fellow, and had hosts of friends who will deeply sympathize with his bereaved family in his suduen and untimely death. His tuueral was held from the Univer­ salist church, in this village, on Friday forenoon last, Rev. H, Slade, of Elgin, officiating, and was largely attended by friends from both Chicago and McHenry The tlorai offerings were numerous and very fine. His remains were laid at rest in Woodland Cemetery, beside those of his father, mother, and brother, who had preceded him.
