We have just learned of the.death of Henry Keller, an old and highly respect­ ed citizen of the township of Nunda, which occurred at his residence, near Barreville, on Sunday last. The funeral was held on Tuesday, and was attended by quite a number from this place. P. T. BARNUM once said : "If you have $10 to put to good use put up one for the article and the other nine for the ad­ vertising. I can out talk any man on earth but a printer. The man who con stick type and the next morning talk to a thousand people while I am talking to one, is a man I am afraid of; I want him for a friend. / / F. K. GRANGER, having bought the Hitchcox Dairy, consisting of 21 choice cows, is selling them at Public Auction to-day, at the barn of Hanly Bros., one fourth mile south of McHenry depot. Also five Premium Holstein Heifers, about twr, years old. These are a very ^choice lot of cows and ought to bring good prices. M. J. WALSH, (he of the triplet combi­ nation) with his fine new turnout, the vehicle of which was purchased of T. J. Walsh, is now the envy of all the young men and many of the young ladies, as he drives through town. The Village Board must hold a grudge against M. J., for as soon as this new rig came out they promptly stopped the street sprinkler and now the Town Clerk has to_fcuke her qut in the dust. HON. F, as to^taKe n ias purchase K. GRANGER ha^ ^TTrchased the Phehan place, consisting of twenty- six acres, situated on the river road about two miles southeast of this village. Mr. Granger owns fifty-four acres ad­ joining this, which now makes him a full eighty in one piece.

Brother j Spence is getting out a clean, newsy I paper, and is deserving, as be is receiv­ ing, the undivided patronage of the busi- 1 ness men of that busy little burg.

The lumber is already on the ground and work will be commenced «it an earlv day. Nick Buhr and a Mr. Wegener will do the work. . | T. J. WALSH has laid a new floor in hie office at the warehouse, thoroughly painted it inside and out, repaired the windows, aud when completed will have One of the finest little offices for his busi­ ness in town. He will hereafter devote his entire time to the sale of Agricultural Implements, Carriage?, Wagons, etc, also, the sale of the Pillsbury and Wash­ burn Flour.

SIMON STOFFEL is ccrtainly showing himself a friend to home industry as he employs only home people In the erection of his large new store, and is purchasing all such material as can be had here of home dealers. We understand the Wil­ bur Lumber Co., will furnish the bill of lumber, which will foot up over 83,000 feet. Home Tinners will put on the iron roof.

The ex­ cavation for thefouudatioi^i for thestand pipe is nearly if not quite finished, and work on the well is progressing favora­ bly. By next week or the week after it is expected that a full force of men wiil be put on and the work pushed at a "Cftgidrate. The Village Board, together with the Board of Local Improvements, are en­ titled to great praise for the able man­ ner in which they have handled the mat­ ter from the beginning. They have pro­ ceeded cautiously, looking the ground over carefully step by step, never losing sight of the legal points involved, so that up to this time, when the contract is let and the work actually begun, there is not a loophole left whereby the rights of the village or the property holders there­ in have not been protected at every point. As usual, in all such enterprises, there are some "kickers." There always will be. Some of them, we believe, are honest in their opposition, but have been misled as to the facts, and are led to believe that an onerous tax will be levied on the people to carry this project forward. Such are not the facts in the case. If any tax ia Collected at all it will be strung out over a period of ten years and be so small each year that it will not be op­ pressive to any one. Then there are others who have different motives, but we believe that when the water works are completed, and in gpod running order, which they certainly will be before winter sets in, that every kicker will ac­ knowledge that they were wrong, that instead of being burdensome to the tax payers it will increase the value of their property, decrease the premiums on their insurance policies and furnish them with a system of water works of which they will feel proud. Therefore, we say, instead of grumbling and growling, and predicting dire calam­ ity for our village, give the Board your hearty support in every matter pertain­ ing thereto and you will not only feel better in your own mind, but at the same time fulfill your duty as a good citizen and 6how yourself as one who has the welfare of your village at heart. Life^ is too short for any man to tie himself up in his own selfish being. A little pub­ lic spirit, unselfishly applied, goes a good ways toward a man's happiness. The Board are laboring zealously and honestly and are fully entitled to the encouragement and support of every good citizen. ON Tuesday morning Peter B. Freund went to his barn to take care of his horse, as usual, but found no horse there. Immediately coming to the conclusion that the horse was stolen, with blood in his eye, he started out to do a little de­ tective work himself. Hiring a horse he drove all day through the hot sun and returned home early in the evening, and found the horse quietly grazing in the pasture, near his barn, where he had been all day. Pete contemplates joining Pinkerton's iorce in a few days. WE understand from one of our ex­ changes that an outrage was committed at Dundee one night last, week and a united state press demand that Gov. Tanner at once look into the matter. If private citizens of this great common­ wealth, of our own proud Illinois, can be thus treated with impunity it is time to insist that the state authorities step in.' On the night in question, some malicious^ individual visited the home of H. M Pratt, the able and talented editor of the Dundee Hawkeye, and stole his best pair of suspenders. AN exchange gives the following good advice: When you buy, buy of estab­ lished business houses. The wisdom of this course was forcibly impressed upon a resident of a neighboring county who bought groceries of a canvasser for a large firm. The farmer bought twelve articles for which he paid, including the freight, $7.35. Curiosity led him to price the same articles at a nearby store and his feelings are not difficult to imagine when ho learned that he could have bought the same articles ol his neighbor for $4.45. Went to the Show. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, which is being held at Elgin to.day, drew e large crowd from this section, going in buggies, on wheels and by train.

MARRIED.-Atthehomeof W.J. Hanche, (cousin of the bride,) Racine, Wis, at high noon on Wednesday, Sept. 8,1897, by the Rev. A. M. Sanford, Phillip S. ^Mavesand Miss Alice E. Kenuett, both tof McHenry. ^The^grbom is the only son of r . G. Mayes, a young man of sterling worth, who was born and reared in this village, and is well and favorably known by all, while the bride is the youngest daughter of L. E. Bennett, who has resided in our midst for many years. Her modest and lady-like ways have won her many friends in the social and religious circles, who will join with us in wishing the hap­ py couple bon voyage on the sea matri­ monial. They returned home on Thurs­ day last and immediately commenced housekeeping with father Mayes.

One hundred ol the best of these pictures will be repro­ duced in that magazine. The first arti­ cle of the series--"Inside of a Hundred Homes"--will appear in the October Journal. Bedchambers, reception and dining rooms, bathrooms, halls and appartments of every kind will be pictur­ ed just as they arc in daily use. Ever.v women is interested in taking a peep into the most attractive homes in the land, to see how they are furnished and ar­ ranged. The houses photographed by the Journal are those occupied by per­ sons of moderate income. Their interior arrangement shows what peifect taste can accomplish with a little money and the touch of a woman's deft fingers. Homes in every stat6 in the Union were photographed for this unique and useful series. A MEDICAL journal issues a warning note to parents of bicycliDg children who are allowed to ride machines too big for them. Some parents, in buying a wheel go on the theory that the boy will grow into it, even though the machine may be a size or two too large. This principle may answer very welf in the matter of clothing, but in regard to the bicycle it may cause much mischief. Often a small youngster is seen struggling with a wheel manifestly beyond his sizo. The saddle is out of his reach for resting purposes and with all his wait on the pedals his hips work with painful effort and his body svvays, as first one foot and then the other goes down, his back being left without support. The doctors say that parents allowing 6uch a thing practiced is absolute cruelty. The exercise is so violent and the hip motion so pronounc­ ed that it is an easy matter for the little fellow to lay the foundation for a cas? of hip deeease, from which he may never re­ cover. Any child who is permitted to ride a bicycle should have one that is carefully fitted to him.--Ex. Hotel Arrivals.

FegerSf who owns fifty-eight Village Lots, juBt north of the corpora­ tion line, has decided to off§r them for sale at Public Auction, on Saturday September 25th, commencing atone o'clock P. M. These lots are pleasantly located, in one of the best resident portions of our vil­ lage, and are Very desirable property. These lots will be sold on long time and easy payments, and thus enable persons with small means to secure a home for themselves. , Wit'i the scarcity of houses to rent in this village, parties with means could make no better investment than to pur­ chase a few of these lots and put up nice little cottages, which they will have no trouble in renting at paying figures. Taken all in all the Doctor's scheme to offer them at auction is sure to re­ dound to the benefit of our village. The date of the sale has been fixed for Satur­ day, September 25th, at 1 o'clock, A Plat of the Lots can be found on the last page of this paper, THERE is absolutely no use in heating the .glass jars before pouring the hot fruit into them, says an exchange. Sim­ ply tie a twine string to a silver plated spoon or knife, and place in the cold jar and pour in your fruit, draw out jour spoon and seal at once. You won't break a single jar by this method, while many jars are broken by the old way.-- If you have never tried the above plan do so, and you will be agreeably sur­ prised.
