She under­ took to run up close to the dam when •he was drawn into the whirlpool and capsized, and the party of Ave who were aboard had a narrow escape from drowning.

B. Buss, Agent. McHenry, III., Sept. 1st, 1885. T H E Concert by Baron Leon DeVay, assisted by Md ne. Irene DeHorvaah, Pianist, and Mr, J. S, Carpenter, Vocal­ ist, promises to be one of the rarest musical treats ever presented no a Mc­ Henry audience. Baron DeVay Is, without doubt, one of the finest Violin­ ists in this country, and no one who. loves flnetmuslc should fall to attend, at Riverside Hall, on Saturday evening next. The following Is one ot the many notices given him by the Chica­ go paper*: The conoert of Baron De Vav. at Kimball Hall, was highly successful.-- The aupience was so large that addi­ tional chairs had to be brought In. and there was plenty of enthusiasm. The great merit nf the Baron's violin play­ ing Is the warmth of it, warmth united to real musical feeling. In the first move of the Krutzer Sonata ot Beeth­ oven, which opened the programme, th's was as evident as in the more sen­ sational pieces which came later. Al­ though his style has not the repose which our fathere expected to fin^ In the performance of a classical master- work, It was because the player had gone beyoud it Into a more modern time, where feeling goes further than repose. BEFORE another issue of this paper the County Fair will be in full blast. The Fair management started out early, and have spared neither time or trouble to make the exposition of 1885 the best ever given. We are con fident it will be. The entries will be larger, the attractions greater than any pyet held In this county or any other. Will you encourage this vast amount of work, given for the Interest of every property owner in McHenry and Lake counties by your attendance?. We hope so. No one will deny the great amount of good a successful Fair does to each one. It assists him In many ways. He or she becomes ac quainted with each other, and what is worth more the idaas one receives in growing and making of all which goes toward making a home more cheerful etc. F arm ere the Fair Is yours, you are the one who ought to encourage it most. Look at your stock to-day and compare It in your mind with what you had twenty years ago. Would It have.been Improved had It not been for the Fairs? We think not. Farm­ ers of Lake county come Gfter and see us during the Fair. We know It will do you good. Lake and McHenry counties are tw.n brothers, and they ought to visit eaih other.

The West shore of Pistaqua Bay Is destined to become the most popular family Summer Resort In this section, not only for its beautiful location, high ground aud natural advantages, but Iro n the fact that the lots are being bought by substantial business men, who are doing so not for gain but that they may have a quiet, pleasant retreat for themselves and families to spend a few months each year away from the cares of business and the dust, turmoil, and bustle of every day life. About a year ago one or two parties purchased lots here, and now there are some twenty-three lots sold, eight fine cottages have been erected aud other Improvements made that make it de­ cidedly the handsomest Summer Re­ sort on either Fox or Pistaqua Lake. And this, too. In the short space of one year. Commencing at the South end we, will give a brief description as we saw It at a recent visit. First comes Owen Bros,, who own two lots, which they have named "Hickory Glen." They propose to build a fine cottage early In the spring. Next comes C. E. Chapell, of Algon­ quin. who owns one lot, on which we learn he will also build next season. Next comes John I. Story, with one lot, on which he has built a handsome cottage 14x18, with a porch i» front and a leanto In the rear for a kitchen. He also has a small barn for horse and carriage, and ail his surroundings ar­ ranged in a ueat and tasty manner. Next comes Mr. Fales, of Spring­ field, III., who has one lot on whieh be has erected a cottage 18x24. Number five Is Mr. Pike, of Cheaoa, HI., with one lot and a handsome cot- tago 18x24. Number six Is Mr. Williams, of Springfield, with one lot on which he has erected a cottage 16x34. Next comes Dr. H. T, Brown, of this village, who owns four lots, on which he will erect one or more eottages early in the spring. We next cone to James B. Perry, Esq., of this village, who owns one lot and has a cottage 14x16. Next comes O. W. Owen, with one lot, called "Idlewild," on which he has a cottage 14x16. Mr. Hertz, Coroner ef Cook County, comes next with four lots, on wh'.ch be proposes to erect three handsome cot­ tages next season. Wlghtinan Bros., H.E. of this village and John Wightman, of Chenoa, 111.- have two lots and a cottage 12x24 with' two eight foot bedrooms, one on each aide and a kitchen in the rear. John S. Carpenter, of Chicago, has two lots next, with a cottage the same size and style of the Wightman Bros. Next comas one lot owned by W. R. Smith, of Aurori, and two lots by Jacob Story, of this village, on which there are, as yet, no buildings, but which will probably be built on next year. Remember all these Improvements have been made In one year, and they new have a little summer resort there that Is an honor to its projectors, and actually is to-day, by its location, nat­ ural advantages, and everything that pertains to real pleasure, far ahead of anything on the Lakes. Pistaqua Bay is acknowledged to he the best fishing grounds in this section and with a number of fine sail and other boats, the residents here have almost a Paradise. On our recent visit there we met wltti a most cordial reception, and after a pleasant ride on Esq, Perry's splendid sail boat, we returned home well pleased with our first visit Pistaqua Bay. to We carry a large line bakery goods; always fresh, at Bouslett ft Stofiers. Never Interrupt any Conversation with a hacking cough; it creates a bad impression. Better invest a quarter of a dollar lu a bottle of Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup and Cure it« THE Re-Union of the 95th Regiment U'inois Volunteers, which will take place at Nunda next week Friday, Sept. 4th, promises to be a large gath­ ering and an interesting time may be expected.

If It don't stop raining pretty soon old earth will get waterlogged. The ground Is saturated, the streams and pon Is are full, and the roads heavy, give us a rest. BORN:--To "Helen Blazes." a daugh­ ter.. .It Is a< "pretty as a picture" and ks just like Its ma. This is Helen's second daughter, both of whom are greatly admired. Mrs. D. Haldaman, of Spring Grove, is convalescing from a severe attack of dysliitery,and Seymour Hogle has also been dangerously sick with a bowel difficulty. All will be glad to know that both are .better. Does It pay to advertise In the PLAIN DEALER? Answered affirma­ tively. Our advertisement of a resi­ dence to sell and a small farm wanted, has brought us a customer In both instances. Mr. Julius Loveday and family have closed their cottage at Twin Lakes, and returned to Chicago. They may return for a stay of a few days later In the Fall If the weather Is pleasant. To our mind September and October are the nicest months of the year for rusti­ cating. Spencer Getting and family have just returned from a three weeks' visit South, extending their journey below Bloomington, In this State. Mr. Cutting says the crops In tho regions through which he traveled are good, and that some corn down there is al­ ready mature enough to out up and shock. ° On the publication day of this paper a race for a purse of 950 comes oft on the Richmond track, between E. S. Johonnott'8 stallion, "Bay Henry," and Elliott Cmpley's stslilon ^'Typhoon." These are two very promising trotters, believed to be pretty evenly matched, and this race Is to settle the matter for keeps, as to which is the best horse* Both flyers will be sent for all they are worth and thoae who bet, better put up their money etrletly on tho horse they consider best. We are requested to stat'e that an entertainment for the benefit of the pastor, will be given at the M. E. Church in Rlngwood on the evening of Friday next (Sept. 4th), to which the public are respectfully Invited. A varied and entertainl.ig programme will be ̂ presented. The everywhere popular Congregational Church Choir, of Richmond, are expected t<> furnish the vocal numbers for the entertain­ ment, a fact which alone will draw a crowd. The little ehild of AdHaM Bogart, whose sickness was noticed In a former number of the PLAIN DEALER, died on the Sunday evening the notice was written. Mr. Bogart his been sadly afflicted, his wife dying only a short time since, soon after the birth of her child, and now the little one Is gone too. The ways of Providence are In­ deed Inscrutable, and it is hard to bow to such heavy bereavements, but the only thing poor humanity can do is to humbly how to the inevitable and trust that all things are orderod for the best. Geo. H. Shibley has the sgency fer the Grant Memoirs. The work !s In two volumes, bound In four different styles of binding--cloth, full sheep,half morocco and full Turkey morec»--at $3.50, 84.50, #5.50 and #9.00 per vol., em­ bellished with two fine steel portraits (by Marshall and Richie), two etchings, numerous maps and plans aud fac similes of handwriting. Mr. Shibley has the agency for Richmond, Burton and Hebron, and will call on you soon. Of course this work is the one written by Gen. Grant himself and to which he devoted the last hours of his life. The "trrepressable Jack Carr" has opened a new me'tt market on the oor- ner opposite Heok A Leggeit's black­ smith shop, where he Is ready to serve all customers with the best meats at reasonable prices. The delicacies of the season in the way of fruits, etc.. will also be kept by the aforesaid "irrepressible," and besides this, the people of the surrounding country will be served from a nobby peddling wag­ on which makes regular trips through the neighborhood. Mr. Carr is a butcher who understands his business, and expresses the determination to suit his customers by attending strictly to business and serving out nothing but the best' stock that can be bought in the market. Thomas Bower, our new Postmaster, takes pos ession of the office this week. He goes in with the best wishes of his friends, and we think he will make a prompt and efficient public official. In the whirligig of time and politics changes must take place in office and we are not one who entirely repudi­ ates the principle that "to the victor belongs the spoils." The Democratic party Is now on top and we gracefully bow when a Republican is kicked out of office and a Democrat takes his place--and on the same principle when we elect a Republican President in 1888 we shall be prompt to attend Tommy's obsequies, and wo will wager a jack- knife that he will furnish a lively cadover and submit gracefully, too-** that Is, if all these things happen. Postmaster Bower, here is our right and hes( wishes for your success. We grieve to announce the death oil Mrs. Elizabeth Bo vers, which sad event occurred last Thursday, the 27th Inst., of sppoplexy, causing paralysis, after au illness of six days. Mrs. Bow­ ers, nee Elizabeth Reed, was born in Leeds, Yorkshire Co., England, Feb. 16th, 1830, being 55 years, 6 months and 11 days old at the time of her death. She came to America with her parents In 1840, and 11 years after was married to Elijah Bowers. In 1856 they came to Richmond, where they made their permanent home, and where the de ceased gathered around her a circle of warm friends, from whose midst she will be sadly missed. One child has welcomed her In that land beyond the stars, while a son and daughter, Thomas and Delia--Mrs. Jamc^Grler --are leit to mourn with the beralv^d husband and many friends. The beau^ tlful floral offerings of bouquets and a pillow and wreath evinced the kindly sympathy of friends, while nature clad In cloudy robes of mourning, seemed to weep with the miurners as the be­ loved one was laid to rest in the bosom of mother earth. In such hours of sor- human wo Ms avail naught, only the merciful Father of al|, and Tl ne, the great healer, can bind up the broken hearts of those who miss from their dally life a dear and familiar presence, that has been as a shining light amidst earths afflictions. We know that our loss Is her gain, there­ fore let us have faith and be comfort­ ed. The faithful wife, the kind and indulgent mother, the good neighbor, the t|ue aid unswerving frleud Is no more among us to speak word6 of kind­ ness, and te perform the acts and offices of love and friendship. A step is missed at morning and evening, a familiar voice Is stlont, a chair Is empty at the fireside and tho boird, and sad hearts listen and watch and wait In vain their coming again. Not here shall they bo known again,bat In "A Land that is fairer than day" all that Is lost shall be restored, when families meet In unbroken circles to '-Live and love fbreverm ere." Mrs. Bowers was confirmed In the Episcopal faith in England, many years ago, and has consistently lived such a life since as to bring no dishonor on the Church of her choice. The Aineral was held at her late resi­ dence last Satur lay, and although It rained lucessattly a very large con­ course of friends and neighbors attest­ ed by their presenoe the high estima­ tion In which deceased was hei I. Tho Rev. Charles Frazer conducted the funeral ceremonials, preaching a hope­ ful and consoling sermon. The re mains of Mrs. Bower' were burled In the beautiful Richmond Cemetery, where for many a year hence, no doubt loving hands will scatter flowere of remembrance, and loving eyes shed the tears of unavailing sorrow. To the mourning family we extend our sympa­ thy, commending them to that Father who "doeth all things well." Fresh Card of Thanks. To the many frlenls who so kindly assisted, in "o many ways, during the late Illness of our beloved wife and mother, we would return our heartfelt thanks, with the hope that, should ever a similar dispensation of Providence befall them, they may never want for the same unselfish and friendly atten­ tions that have been showered upon us.
