THE Lake County Independent says: "Eleven horses have been stolen in Lake county during the past four weeks, not one of them being recovered. There never was anything of the kind on so large a scale perpertrated in this county before, and that no clues to the thieves or traces of their flight can be established is certainly a mystery, the source of which may be discovered in the near future."

MCDONALD, the well known trot­ ting horse driver, died suddenly at his home in Chicago Thursday, November 24th. The funeral was held at Nunda Sunday, and was largely attended." He leaves a wife and a three year old daughter. THE Young Peoples' meetings, being held at the Universalist Church every Sunday evening, are being well attended and wide spread interest is manifested.

The finest line of Collar Boxes, Cuff Boxes, and Handkerchief Boxes, all suit­ able for Holiday Presents, to be found in town, at G. W. Besley's. The New Ens:)and Supper The New England Supper, given by the ladies of the Universalist Church, at the City Hall, on Friday evelning last, was a grand success, as the suppers and enter­ tainments given by these ladies always are. The tables were filled from half past five until after eight o'clock, and all pronou iced it one of the best suppers they ever sat down to. Even with this large crowd there was enough and to spare. . The sale of Aprons aud other fancy goods was also large, so that the reoeipts of the entire entertainment were something over $60. ' A Wauconda correspondent says: "Another victim was claimed by the corn husker and shredder on Wednesday morning of last week, when Richard Basely, who was feeding one of these ma­ chines at H. L. Brboks' had his left hand caught and before it could be freed it was shredded to slivers. He was im- medirtely taken to Dr. Dawson's office, who dressed the wound and called Dr. Fegers, of McHenry into consultation. After a carefyl examination it was found that the hand could not be saved, and amputation was necessary." . * Conductor Cass is Dying1. Gilbert Cass, the old aftd* well known Northwestern conductor, has taken out his last train, He is dying at his home on North Lake Street, Aurora. About three years ago Cass was taken ill and approached very near to death's door, so near in fact that papers at West Chi­ cago, hie old home, chronicled his demise But Cass recovered, and, although he was but a shadow of his former rotund self, resumed his run and kept it up until Nov. 29, when he returned to his couch. He is now so low that death is looked for at any moment. THE First. Primary Department of the Public School has just been reseated with twenty-eight new seats, purchased from the well knowu School Furniture Housn, of Sherwood Co., Chicago. These seats were purchased with the funds realized from the entertainment recently given bv the puDils of this Room, and while the amount lacked some twenty odd dol­ lars, of being enough to pay for the same their teacher advanced the amount, and some time during the winter they will give another entertainment to make up the difference. The First Primary is now one of the handsomest rooms in the building and both scholars and teacher are entitled to great praise therefor. A town will never grow much as long as the class of trade that has ready cash thinks there is nothing ia the town good enough for them, and take the greater part of their patronage to merchants in larger cities. It is such a practice that prevents their home merchants from keeping a larger and better stock. Every4 dollar put into circulation in your own town, means better stocks, better stores, better streets, and a better town. Mer­ chants in other cities don't help you to live or pay your taxes. It is the people in your own town upon whom you de­ pend for your support. The more the "live and let live,' principle is fostered in a community, the more prosperous and progressive it becomes. Death of Wm. Abt. William Abt, brother of Dr. J. L. Abt, of this village, died at the home of hi? mother, in Chicago, on Wednesday even­ ing of last week, aged 22 years. Bright's disease was the cause. He was here with his brother for several months and won many warm friends who will sin cerely mourn his early death. THE Bank of McHenry hangs up a neat sign to the effect that they are protected by a policy in the Bankers Mutual Casu­ alty Company. This refers to an insur­ ance policy issued by that company to the bank, indemnifying it from loss that may be caused by a burglary or robbery of the bank, and secures the bank and its patrons from the danger of loss from that score. The Company issuing the policy pays the loss occasioned, and in addition to this money protection, the Company has an efficient detective ser­ vice which is at once put on the track of a criminal who interferes with f.ny bank holding a policy in the Company, and bringing the burglar or robber to bay and trial regardless of the time or eflort required. Punishment is sure to overtake any person who attacks the bank in the way of burglary or robbery. The pa­ trons of the bank can readily see the great merit of such protection.

Columbia Calender For 1898. For the thirteenth year the Colum­ bia Pad Calendar makes its appearance promptly on time for 1898, and while its general style is of the same familiar char­ acter, the many bright thoughts it con­ tains, contributed by its friends in rnanj parts of the country, as well as abroad, are new, and will be appreciated by al; interest in bicycling, healthful exercise* and good roads. The 1898 Columbia Pad Calender con­ tains a convenient arrangement of datoh tnat will prove useful to busy men, and as plenty of space is reserved for memo randa, the pad may be used as a di.irj and as a reminder for business appoint­ ments aud obligations. It is neat in ap­ pearance, takes up but little room and it- Doth ornamental and useful for the desk, while its stand is of such character that it may be used either upon the desk or hung upon the wall. The moon's phases are indicated in thf Calendar for the benefit of those who wish information. The calendar is read.A for distribution and all orders for it will be filled upon the day of receipt. It can be obtained by mail pre-paid for five two- cent Btamps by addressing the Calendar Department of the Pope Manufacturing Company, Hartford, Conn. To Boom Crystal Lake. Steps are being taken to boom Crystcl Lake as a summer resort the coming season. The sale of lots around-the lakj is, however, hedged about with such re­ strictions that it will become a private fish pond for the shore lot owners. The privilege of renting boats, erecting hotel or club houses and peanut Htands is re­ tained by the Dole estate. The trustees of the Dole estate say that a proposition has been made to the Elgin, Carpenters- ville & Aurora electric line to extend their line to the lake, and that the matter will come before the next meeting of the di­ rectors of the roao. If the road is ex­ tended north application will undoubted­ ly be made to run the line through thip village, thence up the the ravine through which Crystal Lake outlet flows--Algon­ quin Arrow. IF you think it pays to buy a $3 gold Watch, try it but do not be surprised if it proves to be worthless. A Jersey cow gives its owner more satisfaction than does a cheap common cow.

How to Prevent Pneumonia At this time of the year a cold is very easily contracted, and if let to run its course without the aid of some reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dread disease, pneumonia. We know of no better remedy to cure a cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it quite extensively and it has always given entire satisfaction.--Oola- gah, Ind. Ter. Chief This is the only remedy that is known to be a certain preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it for colds and la grippe wet have never yet learned of a single case having resulted in pneumonia. Persons who have weak lungs &r have reason to fear an attack of pneumonia, should keep the remedy at hand- The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by J. A. Story, Druggist. J. A.
