Besley gave a reception at Stoffel's' Hall, in honor of Elmer E. Gorton and wife, who have lately come to reside in our village. About sevjenty-five were present, euchre and dancing were indul­ ged in and a very pleasant social time was the result. Refreshments were served t"d- which all did ample justice, after which the party dispersed to their homes with best wishes for Mr. und Mrs. Besley and their honored guests. It was cer­ tainly a pleasant and ei,j >yable evening. WM.

She was an aunt of Mr. Degen. The funeral was held on Tuesday, and her remains laid at rest in the Johnsburgh Cemetery. ented a protection for pneumatic tire of Bicycle that is one of the most^practical things of its kind we ever saw. Punctur­ ed tires have been the bane of the wheel­ man, but this invention by Mr Stoffol does away with all danger in that line, and the rider san run over tacks, broken glass, etc., with impunity. Its cheap, ness is also another of its. recom­ mendations. Call oji Mr. St« ffel andl see this simple but useful invention. Wei predict for it a ready sale. Friday last being the birthday of Maif tin Howell, the young h-lks of village and vicinity planned a surprise and iji the evening carried it out in the moat pleasant manner. About fifty of thfe young people gathered at theapaoious residence of Mr. Howell, up the r'.vex, and a grand good time was the result. Games, dancing, etc., were indulged in, after which refreshments were F«ivfd,to which all did ample justice. At on early hour the company departed for their homes wishing Martin many happy re­ turns of his birthday. WE inadvertently ommitted to men­ tion the Musicale, by Mies Stoddard and pupils, at Stoffel's Hall, on the evening of March 25t.h. There were about one hundred and fifty present and it waF pronounced a decided success in every particular. The programme was fire and each part was rendered in a manner that was a credit to both tpacher and pupils. Miss Stoddard wishes us to return her thanks to those who so kindly donated her expenses for hall, etc , and assure them that their kindness will ever be re­ membered with pleasure. A minister in a town not a thousa/id miles away on a recent Sunday surprised his audience by reading the following announcement from the pulpit. "The regular session of the Donkey club will be held as usual at the close of this ser­ vice. Members will line up just outside the church door, make remarks and stare at the ladies who pass, as is their custom. Any member known to escort a young lady to church like a man, sit with her like a gentleman during the service, escort her home again like a gentleman, will be promptly expelled from membership." The application was to the point, and the effect was marvelous. LIST of letters remaining uncalled for ia the P. O. at McHenry, III., on the 1st day of April, 1898: Mr. Henry Ke.ves, J. H.

The Annual Township Election for the Town of McHenry, held on Tuesday last, was the most spirited held for years. There were two tickets in the field; thp < • straight Republican and straight Demo­ cratic, and the result shows that Mc- Kinleyism is not dead even in this so- called democratic town. There were five hundred aud seventy-four votes poll ed, which resulted in the election of the straight Republican ticket, with the ex­ ception of Collector, by majorities rang­ ing from 24 to 137Z Had there been no trading tfmong the candidates the full Republican ticket would have been elect­ ed aud the average Republican majority would, in our judgment, have been full seventy - five. Nevertheless it was a grand victory The following are tht names of the officers elected: " 7oirn Clerk--M. J. Walsh. Assessor-- John Huemann. / Collector--M. J. Freund: . Conimiss ioner of Highways--James Green. -f'HE CORPORATION TICKET. T|e Corporation Caucus, on Saturday last was well attended and a good deal of interest manifested. The Caucus was organized by the appointment of John vanson Chairman and S. S. Chapell ecret&ry, and the following ticket put nomination;^ For President--W. A. Cristy. . f or Trustees--John H. Miller, John eimer, B. Nordquest. lor Village Clerk--John Stoffel. After the Caucus a Petition was circu­ lated and another ticket for Trustees put in the field with the following names: For Trustees-- Peter J. Freund, Fred Block, and Anton Englen. The above will be the two tickets be­ fore the voters on April 19th., unless some of the named should withdraw, .which is not probable. As will be seen by the notice to be found at the head of our editorial page, the Republican County Committee, at their meeting on Saturday last, set the time for holding the County Convention as April 25th, This early date was nec­ essary on account of the Sta,te and Con­ gressional conventions being called so early. This will make a short and sharp canvass for the candidates for county officers, as less than three weeks remain before the Convention. Next week we shall have something to say all along the line in this matter. Sunda /MR. 'cigo, ARRIKD --At the home of the bride's father, Robt. McKee, Algonquin, at high oon to day, Wednesday.

"RAMBLER," in Elgin Every Saturday Bays: "Hiram Ellis has opened a res­ taurant in connection with his tauyard, says an exchange. That reminds me of some fifteen years ago when Ira Mai-, lory, of Nunda, u&ed to fun a newspaper in that 'burg. In the sanctum he did his editing, composition, press work and all, kept a grocery and feed stock, ran eC soda fountain and barber shop, and the room wasn't more than 10x12 That was a worse combination than a tan yard and a restaurant. ANY intelligent, industrious person looking for employment would do well to correspond with the Parliament Pub­ lishing Company, about the Perspecto- ecope, a description of which will bo found in this issue of the paper. The instru­ ment was invented,by a member of the company and they have undertaken to put it on the market. The well known good reputation of the firm is sufficient guarantee that there is no humbug about it. At any rate, it would cost only a postage stamp to find oat all fcbjut it. " 'if.. To the Dancing Public. The Committee of the Modern Wood­ men wish to announce to the dancing public that their Eistor Party on Monday evening next will not be inferior in any respect to those heretof jre given under their auspice. Having given three successful parties during the past winter they find they have on hand a sufficient sum of money to warrant their giving ajfirst-class party for a moderate sum. But they can assure their friends that the coming party will b^ up to date in every respect, good music, good sup­ per, the best of attention, and good ac­ commodations in every particular, and as at their former parties no pains will be spared by the committje to make it pleasant for all who attend. Come and see us on Monday evening next and you will have no reason to regret it. PER OUDER COM.

A man pastured a calf for a neighbor until the bill amounted to the price of the calf. The owner called one day and asked: "Well what about the calf?" "I have been thinking about it," was the reply, and have concluded that it you will let me keep the calf we would call it square.

A NEW scheme to rob farmers has re­ cently been put into practice. A conple of men drive ou the premises and present false papers purporting to give authority for the examination of wells and cisterns under the poor food law. They examine the water through a microscope, find all kinds of microbes, bacteria, germs and typhoid fever bugs, permit the farmer and his wife to look through the micro­ scope they carry, aud of course they see the menagerie that always will be obtain­ ed in a drop of water. The frightened farm folks are then advised to apply certain remedies, which the fakirs sell to thepi at a high figure, a little plain soda and nothing more, and then go tboir swindling way. " The Country Newspaper. Congressman Lloyd ,of Missouri has been an active worker against the Loud bill, and in a speech said : "There is no class of publications that should be more encouraged than the country newspaper. Nearly ever family, however poor, takes one or twe weekly papers, and from these they gain the information of current events. Their own opinions of public matters are based largely on what they secure from these papers. They are the molders of local sentiment; they are the safeguards of the republic; they are the representatives of the purest thoughts and sentiments; they are the advocates of the needs of the people; they are the unpoluted channels. Build up these and you elevate and enlighten the commu­ nity--tear them down and you destroy one of the most potent factors in man's upbuilding."

The Most Tmvortant Question Among the practical f.irmers of to-day is where they can get the most for the money invested and the largest profitfor the labor of themselves and familiep. Buying high priced land or working land on shares does not meet with the best results. This question is answered by C. S. Graves, Janesville, Wis., who is selling good farming land at $10 per acre.
