HEREAQ, at out a week ago eggs were I scarce and rfetr fled at 24 cents, now tbe ( groceries are loaded with them at 15 \^eefats. This shows what the hens can do when they settle down to business. REMEMBER the ten cent Social, at tbe residence of Mis. C T. Eldredge, to-mor­ row, Thursday evening. A fine pro­ gramme will be rendered and refresh­ ments will be served. All are invited. WHEN everybody is rushed it is no trick to secure cpstom; it is when his neighbors are idle that the m»n who hqs kept hip name and gocds before tbe public flndp himself so well known that he gets hip full share of what patronage is to be had. / BARMAN BROS have purchased the store building lately occupied by Altboff Bros., and will remove their business to the same as soon as the necessary ar­ rangements can be completed. This will snake «• fine location for their Cigar Man­ ufactory, and also for their retail trade. EVERY community is scandalised by the presence of a lot of chattering numsculls who make it their special study to foment trouble and discord where there are none. These festering ulcers should beconstant- ly cauterized with tbe caustic of public contempt. OUR town and city election tickets nom­ inated in caucus must be helped •'Repub­ lican," " Democratic." or " Prohibition." If it is desired to run a "People's" or a "License" or "No-license" tfeket, the can­ didate can be placed on the ticket only by petition. THE attorney general has at length de­ cided that the new election law in this state applies to all elections whether stat e county,township,city or village but with three exceptions which are: election of school trustee*-, boards of education and " - road district officers in counties not un- 1 township organization. / ADOLPH FISCHER, who has. represented /the Woodstock V<olksblatt and a Chicago J German paper for the past year, has re-* ' moved with his family to Kenosha, Wis., where he will commence the publication of a, German paper called the Kenosha Yolkstreund. Mr. Fisher is a rusher in this line and ? ill, if any one can, make a success, We uish bim success in his new venture. " . LENT need not be a season of rigorous "fasting this year. Owing to the ill health of the world the Catholic church has re­ laxed the sevr-e rules which usually main­ tain in regard to diet. In many locali­ ties Catholics are entirely released from abstaining and fasting, when the bishops aire satisfied that the public welfare will be subserved by such a Qpnrse. The reason assigned is that the Pope desires the temporal JIB well as the spiritual wel­ fare of his children, and the prevalence of la Grippe renders it advisable. KS&SOVAX* "• HON. CHAS, H.

I drank th$ tea made from the pressed blossoms, very faith* fully for several months and was perma­ nently cured. 1 believe Red Clover to be the best known remedy for the blood. MRS. EI J.

Yours truly, SIMON STOFEEL. oHenry County Columbian Expo­ sition Olub Was organized Friday, Feb. 12,1892, at the City Hall, in Woodstock, by Mrs. Wiles, Vice-President of the State Expo­ sition Board. Mrs. Mary E. Joslyn was elected President of the County, with power to appoint a Vice President in*>ach town. Mrs. Wm. Allen was elected Vice President and Mrs. C. H. Donnelly Secre­ tary. After tbe election of officers twelve ladies joined; the Club then ad­ journed to meet at the residence of Mrs. Joslyn, Friday evening, Feb. 26. The second meeting was called to order by the President, Mrs. Joslyn, who read au address Which was votld to be pub lished in all the county papers. The Con stitution was then read and adopted, after which six new members joined. After a few remarks by different members the Club adjourned to meet at the resi­ dence of Mrs. A. R. Murphy, March 28, at 2 P. M. Mas. C. H. DONNELLY, Secretary. MRS. JOSLYN'S ADDRESS. LADIES:--To you whose votes elected me President of the McHenry County Columbian Exposition Club, I would say, I thank you The chair itself does me no special honor, but i will endeavor, in a small way perhaps, to Ifonor the chair It is customary to make beautiful prom­ ises when elected to office. I make none, and it goes without saying that my training in parliamentary ways has been somewhat limited, but I trust that I am not so stupid that I cannot, with the aid of my little "Robert," call a meeting to order, put a question when moved and seconded, and adjourn with decorum at the proper time, and with the able assist­ ance of the vice president, the secretary, and every other woman in the county, make the result of this organization a most successful one The Legislature has directed that we make an exhibit of the industries of this f^tate at the Columbian Exposition How is this to be done? Not with folded hands, cold hearts or silent lips, but with haifris ready for service, with hearts loyal and loving and alive to tbe interests of Illinois, and lips all aglow with enthusi­ asm. There are many things to accom­ plish. "These separate clubs are formed to assist in discovering the excellent work done by women in every depart­ ment of activity, home, profession, studio and factory." The following fact ehonld be an inspi­ ration. "Illinois is the only state which has app'opriated money for a separate display of the industries of women, there­ fore this display will attract much atten­ tion, and if the women of the state will, come forward loyally to its support., it may be made a memorable feature of the exposition." The public mind must be thoroughly educated as to the true pur­ pose of this exposition. It is not merely for a grand and gorgeous display. It has a better, broader and higher pur­ pose. It is for the education of the world. Not alone for you and for me and the women of to-day, but for all women who shall come after us. It will glorify and beautify the'lives, make eas­ ier the yoke and lighter the burden of fu­ ture generations. The seal of National approval rests upon it. Now the setting of a rose tree is simple enough, or sowing the seed of a violet, but the gentle rain, soft air and sweet sunshine must gather about them that tbe.v may flourish and make glad the eyes of the world. So to present this subject requires no labor, but who can measure the mighty effort and indomitable courage necessary to the great wheels moving steadily on to­ ward a success which shall astonish^ Christendom.^ The question is shall we share in the tabor and in the glory?

True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have taken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse­ ness from the start. After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup, The time to act is when the ohild first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack.
