THE HOTEL RIVERSIDE 1 The, Hotel Riverside, in this village, was closed on Saturday last, and we are officially informed by Mr. Story that it will remain closed for sixty days, during which time it will be thoroughly repaired md renovated, and put in better shape Hian ever to accommodate its many pa­ trons andthe public generally. This is one of the most popular Hotels in North­ ern Illinois, and the public will be glad to know that is to remain closed but a short time. / WE obserye by last week's Marengo (News that E. D. Shurtleff of that city has opened a law office in the Jackson & .Hackley block. Mr. Shurtleff was admit­ ted to the bar a number pf years ago and spent several years practicing his profession in South Dakota. He is well known in this section of the state as he has always taken a great interest in county politics. We wish him the best of success and are confident he will make a worthy addition to the bar of Mc­ Henry Co. THE way to make a town prosperous, says an exchange, is to have vim, grit, push, snap, energy, schools, morality, harmony cordiality, advertising. If a question of right or wrong arises, don't sit on the fence. Be a man and declare openly where you stand. Help to im­ prove the town. Patronize its busineiss, help all public enterprises, fire loafers, croakers and dead beats. Let the ob­ ject be welfare, growth and promotion of your town auu ir.a people. Speak well of your public spirited men and be one yourself. Be honest with your fellow- men, BEWARE of a stranger who has a vine­ gar or molasses jug just outside he wants you to fill. This is a new dodge that is being worked upon grocers quite extensively in this part of the state of late. A stranger goes into a store and has put up several packages of groceries and when they are made up he asks the grOcer if he sells vinegar or molasses and the price. He then saye that he has a jug in his rig outside and will bring it in. Picking up the packages he goes out for the jug but never to return and the mer­ chant is out the price of whatever he allows the party to carry away. It is an innocent looking scheme and it usually works. Grand Reception and Ball, Given by Prof. A.

IN the Chicago Dispatch voting con­ test, which closed with the old year, two of the North-western conductors stood in the lead. Michael Whalen obtained first prize, a $300 gold watch. Sim Crowley, who runs between Chicago and Harvard, had friends who made a plucky fight, and for a long time were confident, of his victory. During the COjPtest he was at the head of tha list the greater part of the time. His final vote amounted to 212 541. The prize for second place was a f200 gold watch Besides the prize Crowley won a suit of KlA"-clothes.

He practiced law for two vears in Woodstock. Ten years ago he went to Chicago and began practice on his own account. His city office was in the Ashland block. Since going to Chi­ cago be has resided in Austin. He was appointed attorney of the town of Cicero last April. He had been active in Republican politics, but never held any other office. He was a member of the Austin Baptist Church. He achieved particular prominence through his recent dealings with the railroads in Cicero. Mr. Finch was married a few years ago to Bertha, a daughter of the late C. O Parsons, who with two small children, Dorathy, aired six years, and Stephen, aged 8 months, mourn his sudden and untimely death. They as welt as Mr. Finch's parents ,Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Finch, of Woodstock, and sisters, Mrs. Wanser. of Austin and Mrs Straw, Dixon to whom his death comes with crushing effect, have the sympathy of all. THE credit system is being slowly choked to death Year after year mer­ chants become careful about the manner of conducting business, and it will not be long hence that the local book-keeper can be dispensed with, statements of accounts will be unnecessary and nobody will have reason to get "mad" at a monthly reminder of his indebtedness because none will be sent to him. The laboring man will prepare for the winter during the summer months when daily labor brings returns, economy will be the motto, and nobody need lie awake nights thinking of accruing obligations. Goods can be sold cheaper all around ; the merchant will feel serene, generous and contented, having no "touchy" patron to offend by introducing him to an unsettled account long since due. Not all the "good times" have been in the past, there are still others to follow, better, more desirable, more comforting, and consoling than those of the hoary past. The cash system will make the masses more honest in practice if not in principle. Whenever it is impossible to secure credit, the ready cash will be scraped together somehow. The chronic liar who always promises to pay -'next Saturday night, sure," will disappear and never return, and the "next week" fraud will accompany him. Honest men will escape supporting dead beats whose chief aim is to bee <me possessors, relying upon the law to shield them from the constable's execution and the news­ paper's exposition. And this is not a fancy sketch but a forecast of the future based upon the direction the wind has jJ>een blowing for some, time. The farmer's terms of sale for years has been "Cash on Delivery." and he has expressed no desire to have it otherwise. "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." Exchanging equivalents is not rotbery. The Golden Rul6 should be made operative in all lines of business and all kinds of commercial transactions. (WE have received from Lyon & Healy, music publishers, Chicago, three beauti­ ful songs-"Truetothe love of Yesterday" by Alexander, 40- cents; "O, Radiant Flower," by Harriet Burdette Willis, 40 cents; "Come Let Us Wander," by Brahms, 50 cents.

Hundreds of our readers will join us in congratulating Prof. William Griffith, principal of the Wilmot public school, who has just been appointed to thfe position of county superintendent of Kenosha county. The position came to him unsolicited, making the honor all the more prized. Prof. Griffith has been in the harness a score or more years and has always kept fully abreast and much of the time far in advance of his fellow teachers. He employs new and original methods in his school work, exciting and retaining the close attention of his pupils. Mr. Griffith is, we believe, a graduate of Oberlin, and holds a state certificate in Ohio. He recently took the state exami­ nation in Wisconsin, obtaining an un­ usually high standing. His appoint­ ment is to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of Supt. Malonoy.--Rich­ mond Gazette. President McKinley is not one of those who believe that the Senate will fail to ratify the treaty for the annex­ ation of Hawaii, w hich it is now con­ sidering. He has an abiding faith'in the wisdom of annexation and that the wis­ dom will be apparent before the debate is closed that the necessary two-thirds vote will be secured and the treaty rati­ fied. Senators Thurston, of Nebr. and Gear, of Iowa, have been in doubt about annexation, largely because of their be­ lief that it might result in injuring the rapidly growing sugar beet industry of their respective states. Both Senators were at the White House this week, upon other business, and the President took advantage of the opportunity to per­ sonally combat the idea th&t annex­ ation would injure the sugar beet indus­ try of this country and "also to -present other arguments in favor of annexation.
