A story comes from Wauconda, in which > McHenry young man figures as the hero. The gist of the story is that said young man has been in the habit of call­ ing on and corresponding with one of Wauconda's 400, whose papa seriously objected to, and on papa's finding him recently nicely domiciled in the parlor, run him out with a revolver, firing a shot at him as he went, grazing his manly bosom and giving him a bad scare.

The programme was a good one, the isinging, recitations, etc., being appro­ priate 1 o the occasion and rendered in a manner that done credit to those who participated, and honor to the day. The address of welcome, by Hon. F. K. Granger, was pertinent to the occasion, timely and to the point, and were well received by the large audience in attend­ ance. The address by C. M. Eldredge, of Chicago, was one of the finrst we have listened to in many a day. He is an easy, graceful speaker, and those who listened to him were sure that his utter­ ances came from a loyal, patriotic heart. The committee surely made no mistake when they secured Mr. Eldredge to deliver the address on this occasion. The closing remarks by Prof. F. M. Overaker were timely and left a good impression on all present. At the time of closing the rain was pouring down in torrents, and it was found impossible for the little girls to decorate the pro ves in thn fV*TVl| nfATi'V* was intended, consequently the Com­ mander of the Post made a detail of comrades who performed that duty, not­ withstanding the storm. The program was carried out in full, and resected great credit on those hav­ ing the matter in charge. EVERYBODY knows that a two or three ring show is only a bristling aggravation and anything bnt satisfactory, as one looses while watching what is going on in all the rings, the whole performance. Stang Bros, come to our town with an old-fashioned one ring Show, such as we all delighted to see in the palmy days of youth, when we as boys brought water for the elephant, run errands, and then slipped in under the tqnt to see the glories of the one ring show and hear the gags of the old clown with bis high, peaked hat and striped tights. Stang Bros, come to McHenry, Monday, June 6th, with a clean, well regulated,- first-class show. Make your arrangements to give this day to the Stang Bros. United Mon­ ster 25*cent Shows.

It affords us pleasure to annouce that the official Guide to the World's Colum­ bian Exposition and the great city of Chicago is now ready in elegant book form of over 400 pages, richly embel- ished with superb illustrations of the highest order. The aid of the best pho­ tographers and engravers has been in­ voked that the beautiful and picturesque features of the great Exposition and points of intererest throughout the city Chicago be clearly preeented. Twenty millions of dollars will have been expend- ded on the grounds and buildings before the gates are thrown open in 1893. Who can immagine what the genius of many men can create with such a vast sum at their command?' Who can pic­ ture in immagination what these wonder­ ful buildiugs and grounds will look like- when erected ? The fairy castles of tales of fiction will not compare with them. The Guide does not only describe to the minutest de­ tail everything inestimable value per­ taining to the Exposition and Chicago but a full page picture of each of the mammoth exhibit buildings in oil colors. Also many others, illustrating artistically the useful, the beautiful and the curious that will be there in magnificient dis­ play. Whatever movable things the world has that can please the eye, de­ light the ear and instruct the mind--the richest products of every clime. It caps the climax with a magnificent cycloramic view, "Bird's-eye Yiew of the Exposition Grounds and Buildings," beautifully lithographed in eight oil colors, size 7 x 27 inches. It is a book for the millions who con­ template visiting Chicago in 1893. It will be purchased by the millions who cannot go, but will desire to know just what their friends are seeing. In fac*, every loyal American citisen should possess a copy of this great work. The well known Pacific Publishing Co., of St. Louis, Mo., are the sole State agents, and they want agents to sell the book in every town. Full particulars and terms will be sent on application.

But physiologists all concede that the most wonderful part of man is the nervous system. In it are located the seats of life and mind, and the control of all the bodily organs. When the nerves are destroyed the part is paralyzed. The flesh, blood and bones are as nothing to it. Derangements of the brain or nerves are the causes of headache, fits, dizziness, fluttering of the heart, sexual weakness, sleeplessness,neu­ ralgia, cold hands and feet.
