It appears he was uncapping some unloaded shells, when by accident he picked up one that was loaded, and in attempting to uncap it, it exploded in his hand, cutting and lacerating it in a fearful manner, filling the hand full of shot and pieces of the shell. Dr. Osborne was called who removed the shot and dressed the wound on Sunday night, and on Monday, with the assistance of Dr. Howard the wound wus enlarged and cleansed, and it is hoped the hand may be saved, although at this tame the Doc­ tors are unable to tell what may be the result. It is an ugly wound and he will be laid up some time at the best. Auditor's Meeting:.

Choice Potatoes, Cabba and onions, at the Bakery. a OBITUARY. , Agnes Mayes died at her home in Mc­ Henry, Illinois, March 0th, 1891, of an affection of the vital organs, which caused her extreme suffering at times, during The few years past, and continued to in­ crease in violence until the last attack, when death came as a welcome refuge. Retiring to her room at about nine o'clock in the evening, feeling unusually well, she was seized with a severe pain in the chest, ajnd expired a few minutes later. The burial occurred on Wednes­ day, March llth. atid memorial services were conducted in the Methodist church at McHenry on Sabbath morning, March 15th. The only living daughter, Mrs. Bartlett, arrived from hee home in New Hampshireln time to attend the burial services. Miss Agnes Morton was born in West Moreland, New York, Aug, 10th, 1831, and when two years of age she was adopted by Wm. McPhee, who provided for her a model Christian home. She was married to F. G. Mayes July 1,1850, and moved to McHenry, Illinois, in 1851, and for forty years has been closely identified with the interests of the town. She acted her part as best she could in every phase Of experience among the people. • Her home has maintained a plac# of kind consideration among all classes. *£he children will not forget the unchang­ ing devotion, the constant activity, and large-hearted sympathy of their dear mother. Mrs. Mayes was one of a large family. Three of her brothers and one sister reside in Michigan, and one sister lives in New York. Eight children were born in her own home, six of whom were carried to the cemetery to await her com­ ing. The following religious experience was given to a friend: Among my earliest memories 1 sat on my mother's knee in the class-meeting, hearing the people speak, and I often thought bow glad I shall be when I can speak and be a Christian. These expressions were more fully expresfe 1 when attending a revival meeting one night 1 went to the altar for prayers. On 1 he same night I was deeply moved after retiring to rest and arose from my bed and engaged in prayer, giv­ ing my life to my Savior. I prayed for faith and was blessed with a clear mani­ festation of Jesus' love for my soul. I then arose and ran down stairs and told papa that my sins were forgiven and that I was a Christian. The reply came from the parent's heart full of sympathy with her experience. The next day a girl who knelt with her at the same altar came aud said "I have found Jesus; come, Agnes, let us go and tell Brother Ninde (father of Bishop Ninde) and see what he will say. The pastor greeted them kindly and said, "Be good girls." Mrs. Mayes united with the church when nine years of age, kept up secret prayer and t»ecame deeply interested in the Sunday School. Further important experiences occurred later when attend­ ing the DesPlains camp meeting. The remarks made and testimonies given re- vealedto her the fact that her faith in Christ was not so strong as other parties seemed to have and this led to self exam­ ination with deep desires to secure a clearer experience. At times discourage­ ment pressed her mind, . but she was finally led to cast all on Jesus and rose from the altar of prayer satisfied with the work of Him who is mighty to save. The Grace there received made her Icel ready to die, an experience never en­ joyed so fully before. The last most ac- cceptable song was, "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to k^ep that I have committed against that day." This good news was mentioned to friends in the East last summer, when on a visit to her old neighborhood where the class leader of fifty years before was found still living. COM. A Token of Remembrance on the Death of Mrs. F. G. XCayea. Inasmuch as our beloved co-worker, Mrs. F. G. Mayes, has left us to enter into the Heavenly rest, we, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of McHenry, III., feel that we have lost a helpful, faith­ ful member and friend. Resolved, That we tender to the be­ reaved family our sincere sympathy in their afflict ion; with them we will remem­ ber the strong and beautiful life, and while we mourn her departure we remem­ ber that our loss is her infinite gain. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; aud their works do follow them." Resolved, That a copy of this resolu­ tion be sent to F. G. Mayes and that it be published in the PLAINDEALER. MRS. T. J. WALSH, MRS. L. E. BENNETT, MRS. W. A. CRISTY, Committee. S5 REWARD.

Swelling of the ankles or feet when not due to rheumatism, Prof. DeCosta says, is always caused by a weak or diseased heart.

Pillsbury's Best is the best. 1ST" "That expression 'heart failure' is a mockery, a (lelusion and a snare," said Dr. Tomlinson, the Registrar of Vital Statistics, yesterday. "We won't accept it any longer on a death certificate. I think we have sent back over 150 such certificates since Commissioner Wicker- sham and Dr! Rauch, of the State Board of Health came" to the conclusion that the term was a humbug and simply in­ dicated that the physician sending it in as a cause of death either did not know what the malady really was or wished to 9over up the true cause. "A doctor might as well certify that a man died for want of breath, as to say that he died of heart failure. The num­ ber of illiterate physicians at present practicing in Chicago is startling. Here is a certificate whicli declares that 'Wm. Jones died from heart failure.' Under the head of complications the physician has written 'Numony.' "Another certified that the deceased had died of heart failure com plicated with 'tripod fever.' The sooner these chuckle- headed physicians tumble to the fact that heart failure won't go any longer, the mpre trouble they will save them- selvesInter-Ocean.

Some fail because of poor health, others want of luck, but the majority from deficient grit--want of nerve. They are nervous, irresolute, changeable, easily get the blues and "take the spirits down to keep the spirits up,'*1 thus wasting money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great specialist, Dr. Miles, to cure all nervous diseases as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, neu­ ralgia, St Vitus dance, fits and hysteria.

MARENGO. EDITOR PLAINDEALER Were Dr. F. D. Nutt to write an essay on the horse, I am quite sure he would say, "It is a vain thing for safety." That bis horse did run goes without saying, went perhaps for another case of measles as theI)r. has only eighty cases under his care. That the horse is an auimal guided by instinct, not reason, now know I for a surety, for this runaway stopped, at the Fanners' Alliance store. I. M. Buffman, of Rockford, under the auspices of the W.

If there be one thing above all otfiers needed in Marengo, it is a "sassiet^" of some kind. There are only twenty, not including any church affair.
