Bv ORDER OF TOWN COMMITTEE. I)o not forget the Milk Maid's Conven­ tion, at Stoffel'tS Hall, on Friday evening of this week. REPUBLICAN CAUCDS at the City Hall on Saturday next, March 19th, at two o'clock P. M, ED. SUTTON sold a fine young horse to the Elgin Fire Department last week for which he received one hundred and five dollars. NOMINATION papers for Township offi­ cers must be filed in the office of the Town Clerk on or before Monday, March 21st. ' IF you want to get posted iu Cow Cul­ ture, attend tbe Milk Maid's Convention, at Stoffel's Hall, on Friday evening. WE understand that the W. D. Went- worth houpe, now occupied by L. H. Owen, has been sold to Mrs. E.Lamphere, of Elgin. We did not,learn the con­ sideration. A.. WEGENER has moved his family from the Wm. Tilton house on the east side, to the houpe owned by Mrs. W. C. Howard, on Third street, on the west side. WE learn that a son of Chas. Anners, who lives on the Cristy farm, fell from a donkey on Sunday morning and broke a small bone in his arm. He is doing as well as could be expected at thisjvriting, JOHNJUSTEN has had the new house which he is building in this village, wired for Electric Lights, thus having it ready when the Electric Light plant is put in, which will surely be done at some future day. ' • THE Contractors are figuring on the building of the new Market for Frett. Bros. & Witt, and as soon as the con­ tract is let and the lumber can be got upon the ground the work will be pushed rapidly forward. •j MARRIED.--At El^in, February 19th, 1898;, by Rev. Dr. Fawcett, Thomas Halpin, Sr., of McHenry, and Mrs. Eliza C. Blanford, of Elgin. Mr. and Mrs Halpin are now occupying the formers residence, in this village. LADIES, have you a good sewing ma­ chine or bicycle? If not send your ad­ dress to the Evans Chemical Company, of Belvidere, 111.,and receive full particu­ lars for securing a nickle plated sewing machine or a high grade bicycle for services at odd hours. PERHAPS never again in the history of McHenry will her citizens have an oppor­ tunity to listen to such a brilliant dis­ play of oratory as will be put forth on the occasion, of the meeting of the Milk- Maid's with us. Let us not fail to in- prove the oportunity. It is a chance of a life time. THE dancing public should remember the Party by the Young Peoples' Social Club to be held at Stoffel's Hall, on Thursday evening, of this week, March 17th. The best of music and a good, social time may be expected. Tickets 50 cents. A general invitatiou is extend­ ed to all. THE spring-like weather and rain of the past week has caused the snow to disappear very rapidly. It is not safe, however, to say that spring is here, because we are liable to have a spell of winter weather "before the end of the mouth. The roads are in very bad condition. THE Nunda Herald says: "The Algon­ quin "Indians" have laid down the pipe of peace, donned war drees, and taken up the tomahawk. They are hot on the Spaniards' trail, and are holding nightly war dances in the hope that a clash with Spain will give them a chance to display their prowess on the fit Id of battle." IT is said that the recent snow Storms have cost the railroad companies which operate in the state of Wisconsin about $40,000. Tlnse companies are the Chi­ cago & North-Western, the Chicago, Mil­ waukee & St. Paul, and the Wisconsin Central. Of this sum about $22,000 has been paid for laborers who have been em­ ployed to shovel off the snow. QUITE a number of hunters have been on the war path the past week, but the number of ducks bagged have been ex­ ceedingly small. While the ice is out of the river the small Lakes and Ponds are not yet open, and the few ducks that have made their appearance are flying high, way out of the reach of the hunters. ' THE Musical, by Miss Evelyn Stoddard and pupils, which on account of the sick­ ness and death of Mrs. C. H. Granger, was postponed, will be given at Stoffel's Hall, on Friday evening of next week, March 25t,h. The same progamme will be rendered, and it is hoped that all will turn out and give them a full house. Remember the date. Friday evening of next week, March 25th. WATER from the heavy snows which have melted the last few days and from the heavy rains since Thursday have raised the streams to an unusual height. The ground is thoroughly soaked and little snow or frost is left. Robhins and bluebirds are here, and many flocks of ducks and geese in their flight toward the north are anxiously watched by the sportsmen. WE have been looking for several weeks for somebody to see in the heavens that old familiar cross denoting approaching war. and we have not been disappointed. The dear old thing has appeared at last, as usual, in one of the outlying rural districts. This time it is attributed to the neighborhood of Hollidaysburg, Pa. It is nearly time now for the reappear­ ance of the cow that gives black milk. Do not forget the Milk Maid's Conven tion, at Stoffel's Hall, on Friday evening of this week. Read the programme in another column^ WE learn that Geo. S. Curtis contem­ plates building a new house on his lot, lately purchased in the Fegers addition to this village. THE warm, spring-like weather has set our Agricultural Implement dealers to work, and machinery is being hauled out, brushed up and made ready for the inspection of buyers. THERE is a fine of $5 for ever sparrow killed between March 1 and Dec. 1. Quite a difference from the bounty of two centB a head which is given between Dec. 1 and March 1. • . F. WHITNEY, a young man who worked on farms around Huntley for two or three years, was one of the passengers on the Clara Nevada, the Klondike steamer which recently went down with • all on board. THE 'Memorial services, for Miss Frances E. Willard, held at the M. E. Church, on Sunday morning, drew out a full house, and were of the most inter­ esting character. The singing by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walnh, Mrs. Gallaher and the choir, the Biographical Sketch, by Mrs. Cristy, the Paper, by Mrs. H. P. Buckland, and the Address, by Mrs. J.B. Hilton, were all listened to with the closest attention. Mrs. Hilton is a pleas­ ing and easy speaker, and handles her subject in a manner highly interesting to her audience. She spoke in the City Hali ou Sunday evening, Monday after­ noon and Monday evening, to large and apprecative audiences, f he is doing noble work in the cause, and her eloquent words will long be remembered by those who had the pleasure of hearing her here.

The Hotel Riverside, after being thoroughly refitted and renovated, was re-opened for the accommodation of the traveling and pleasure seeking public, on Tuesday last, under the continued management of John I. Story, who has made this House one of the most popu­ lar outside o? the city. The Riverside is now better than ever prepared to accom­ modate those who are out either for pleasure or business, and mine host Story will leave nothing undone that will tend to the comfort or pleasure of his guests A free Buss will run to and from all trains and the most careful attention given to all, HOWARD'S MARKET. The Meat Market of R. R. Howard, on the West Side has been undergoing ex­ tensive improvements, and is now one of the handsomest, and best arranged mar­ kets outside of Chicago. The room has been enlarged by taking out a partition, so that the market proper is 18x50, a new floor laid, window shelving made where vegetables in their season can be kept fresh and fine, the interior painted throughout, and last but not least a brand new Refrigerator, of the Paul J. Daemicke Patent and 1893 pattern, which is the latest and best now on the market. This refrigerator is 8x10 feet, and 12 feet high, the Ico Chest taking up the entire upper space. It is also fur­ nished with a patent ventilating appara­ tus, which is perfection itself. And unlike most othnrs Coolers it is absolutely tight between the upper and lower depart­ ments, so that there is no dripping of water from the Ice into the department where the meat hangs. The fastenings to the doors are such that when closed it is absolutely air tight. The outside is handsomely finished in Georgia Pine, and in the center between the two doors, in front, is a mirror, the whole present­ ing a rich appearance. The Refrigerator is one of the handsomest and best ar­ ranged we ever had the pleasure of ex­ amining, and is a valuable addition to this market. As we said before, Mr. Howard keeps everything neat and in apple pie order, and his meats present a very inviting appearance. He keeps a full assortment of fresh and salt meats, sausage, smoked meats, and all kinds of vegetables in their season. Also Bakery supplies, canned goods, etc. It is a mar­ ket which West McHenry has just cause to feel proud. Call in and look it over. School Report.

Dietrich, station agent at Arlington Heights, who shot himself a few days ago, left a letter to his relatives, asking that six young women, dressed in white, act. as pallbearers, and that he be taken to the cemetery in a white hearse, drawn by white horses. The funeral occured on Sunday, but the strange request was not complied with. THE Metal Night Lamp Chimney, manufactured by Schnetz & Sherman, Nunda, is certainly one of the finest things on the market and should be in every house. For a sick room, where warm water is often needed in a hurry it is indispensable, as it answers all require­ ments of an oil stove, and is absolutely smokeless. Mr. Scbuetsz is the Patentee and certainly has a useful, cheap and ready selling article. A large number of these were sold in this village. Just received a new and up to date line of Pingree & Smith shoes at Owen & Ch a pell's. New Dress Goods at Owen & Chapell's. Wil l i e C lax ton , Albnrt Holly, F.

HATTIE M. GRANGER, beloved wife of Charles H. Granger, in the 31th year of her age. The sudden and unexpected death cf Mrs. Granger has cast a gloom over our entire community, and deep somw is within the hearts of all. About two weeks ago she was taken with a seveie form of La Grippe, but few outside of her own immediate relatives and her physicians really knew how sick she wap. Her disease rapidly became complicated with others, and despite all that the best medical skill and loving hands could do she gradually grew worse, and at ten minutes past 12 o'clock, noon, on Thursday, she quietly passed away, MRS. HATTIE M. GRANGER was the daughter of Harrison C.,aud Alsena Smith, was born in McHenry town­ ship, June 7th, 1804, and has always made this village her home. On Novem­ ber 2d, 1887, she was married to Charles H. Granger, and there were born to them three children, namely: Florence, aged 9 years; Maude, aged 7 and Fannie, aged 5, who are thus early in life bereft of a mothers care and guidance. While they are assured of the kindest care and atten­ tion, still it is not mother, and the heart­ felt sympathy of all goes out to then in their great loss. The truth of the old saying that "death loves a shining mark" is again illustrated in the death of Mrs. Granger. Always happy in her disposition, active in body and mind, she has led a useful life and will be'greatly missed both at home and in society. Her straight­ forward, unaffected, but bright and cheerful manner was admirable, and her friends were true friends, whose Dumber were only limited by the number of her acquaintances. Now that this light has gone from it the world will never loOk so bright to the bereaved husband, parents, brothers and sisters, to whom she was BO devoted and who returned her affec­ tion in its fullness, bu„t the children who are left to grow up to womanhood with­ out the sympathy and guidance of a mothers love will longest suffer. To them the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of grief stricken friends is extended. Her funeral was held from her late residence on Saturday forenoon, Rev, H. Slade, of Elgin, officiating, and was at­ tended by a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends, who followed her remains to their last resting place in Woodland Cemetery. The Floral offerings werenumerous and very beautiful, and was another evidence of the esteem in which she was held by oil A n> • K rton i*» l> • .»V» m ...

W. A , besides many other handsome and appropriate pieces. The following beautiful liues, by Lord Lytton, a part of which were quoted by Elder Slade, in the funeral services, seem very appropriate here: There Is no dra ' . l i ! the HIIXTB JTO down To r ise upon so me fairer shore, And br ight in heavens jeweled crown, They shine forever more. There is no den!h! the dust we troad Shal I change bener> th t he s , i turner showers To golden grain, or mel low frui t , Or rainbow t inted i lowers . The grani te rocks disorganize.
