Miss GRACE STEVENS, of this village, hits been engaged as Teacher in the Inter­ mediate Department of the Richmond Public School. Miss Stevens is one of the best teachers in the county and our Richmond friends are fortunate in being able to secure her services. A NEW swindle is being worked on the unsuspecting farmer, according to an ex- change. A well dressed stranger, osten­ sibly selling fruit trees, stops at a farm house, where he conveniently falls sick. He claims to be out of medicine and in­ duces the farmer to write a prescription which he dictates, and to sign his (the farmer's) name thereto to avoid any de­ lay in getting it compounded. Then the stranger suddenly remembered that there is medicine in bis valine and he relieves the farmer of the necessity of sending for the prescription, but he takes care to preserve the same, to which the farmer's signature is attached. Afterward the signature turns up as a promissory note, which the farmer is obliged to pay.

STEOEMANN lost her pocketbook <somewhere in the streets of this village on Saturday last, which contained some­ where from $4.50 to $6 in money, she could not tell exactly the amount. The finder would do a christian act and no doubt sleep Bounder with a clear con­ science by returning the same at once. WE would call particular attention of the traveling public to the new Time Table of the Northwestern Road, to be found at the head of our local page There are two new trains added, one going North at 2:45 p. m., and returning going South at 5:30 p. m Also a Sunday train going Sou|£i at 7:36 p. m.

As the political campaign advances, And marching clubs are organized, in stead of the lagips usually carried, a new and nobby cane has been introduced which no doubt will become a very popu­ lar article with all marching clubs. It consists of a walking cane having con­ cealed in the lower end a rod, around which is wound a beautiful silk flag. By inverting the cane and pulling out the flag attachment, the cane is transformed into a staff, surmounted with our coun- try'sllag which suddenly appeariniralong a marching Hue, would certainly produce • very happy and inspiring eSsati -, GEO.

AT tii® home of Mrs. Jecks, on the afternoon of June 6th, were held the fun eral services of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Hollister, Rev. G. A. Wells officiating, and Rev. Bassett making appropriate remarks. Very many sympathizing friends, some of whom came from quite a distance, were in attendance at the ser­ vices. An aunt of the deceased and her son's wife came from Boston, but arrived too late. The floral gifts and kindly words were but faint suggestions of the high esteem in which she was held, and it was remarked by a friend that in an ac­ quaintance with her from early childhood they had never heard anyone speak un­ kindly of her. Few lives, perhaps, are as sunny as was hers and when they end we feel that much is lost. A fond daughter, a true wife, a loving sister has taken her farewell; but hallowed memories still ire- main. The following is a clipping from the Champaign Gazette: A WELL-TO-DO fine looking young bachelor, living in a place not many miles from Aurora, was being badgered by the young ladies of a certain club, for not getting married. He said, "I'll marry the young lady of your club, who, on secret vote, you select to be my little wife." There were 25 members of the club. Each girl went away into a corner and used the greatest caution in prepar­ ing her ballot and disguising her hand writing. The result of the vote was that there were 25 votes cast, each girl receiv­ ing one. The young man remains a bachelor, the club is almost broken up and the girls are all mortal enemies, unit­ ed in the 6ne determination that they will not speak to that nasty fellow again.

The number of people who witnessed the first five performances of this great spectacular success reached the extraordinary figure of 13,400. "Ali Baba" is by long odds the most magnifi­ cent scenic show ever presented in this country. It is questionable if in the his­ tory of the drama three such splendid stage pictures have been shown together as the "Enchanted Forest of Falling Water," "The Illuminated Cavern of Coins," and the ideally perfect transfor­ mation scene "The Birth oi the Butter­ fly." Each additional performance re­ veals new beauties and adds to the smoothness of the entertainment. With­ in a week or two the second edition of the piece will be put on, with new songs, incidents and people. DENTIST.--Dr. W. E.

Should a purchaser be un able for any reason to UBe the ticket on the day sold it can be returned to the agent, who will refund the money. If re­ turned after the day of sale the ticket will have to be sent to the general office in Chicago, and the money returned from there. The new plan will likely make some confusion, and cause dissatisfaction with the traveling public, but the plan adopted will keep tickets unused out of the hands of the scalpers, and that is supposed to be the object of the railway managers.

Woman's Painty Underwear. Just what sort of underwear to assume is one question that troubles the average woman, very much. She doesn't want to wear so much that it will be bulky, and she doesn't want to wear too little for fear she will catch cold. She tries first one and then another shaped gar­ ment, and the wise woman is, Bhe who, having at last hit upon that which is most comfortable, makes it most dainty and assumes it for good. Very little linen is used nowadays for one's lingerie, the preference being given to cambric, Victoria lawn, nainsook or percale. The last is noted with tiny dots or wee flow­ ers in pink, blue or lavender upon the white ground. Then when the garment is finished the edges have a triple scal­ lop or a sharp point embroidered in cot­ ton of the same color as the figure. This material, with its simple finish, is liked for sack shaped chemises, for night­ dresses and for drawers. It is seldom, if ever, used for skirts. The fancy for silk nightdresses still exists, but as there always have been women who would wear nothing but the clear white lawn or nainsook, and as these women are many, the makers of underwear are specially catering to them. Very much more fine work, that is, handwork, can be put upon a nain­ sook gown than upon a silk one, and the needlewoman can make more fine tucks, fancy stitches, gatherings, hemstitch­ ing and drawing of threads than ever would seem possible.--Mrs. Mallon in Ladies' Home Journal. The Bayeux Tapestry. • Tapestry was brought into general use in western Europe, with many other elegancies of life, by the Moors of Spain. The oldest known specimen is the Bayejp tapestry, an epic in embroidery, careful­ ly treasured for centuries in the cathe­ dral of Bayeux, and now preserved in the hotel de ville of that place. Miss Strickland says of this piebe of work: "It is beyond all competition the most wonderful achievement in the gen­ tle craft of needlework that ever was executed by fair and royal hands." It was done by Matilda of Flanders wife of William the Conqueror, and the ladies of her court. It is a coarse linen cloth, 214 feet long and 20 inches wide, on which is worked in woolen thread of various colors a representation of the invasion and conquest of England by the Normans. It contains the figures of about 625 men, 200 horses, fifty-five dogs, forty ships and boats, besides a quantity of quadrupeds, birds, trees, houses, castles and churches, all executed in the proper colors, with names and inscriptions over them to elucidate the story. It is a valuable historic document, as it gives a correct and minute portraiture of the Norman costumes and their manners and customs.--Woman's Work. DENTIST.--Dr. W. E. Pilcher, of Elgin, will be in West McHenry every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of each week. He can be found at the office formerly occupied by Dr. Childs and Dr. Norton, opposite the old Parker House place. NEWSPAPERS ENDORSE.
