Peter Johnson has been appointed post master in place of E. A. Golding. When the Cleveland ad ministration assumed the reins of gov ernment Mr. Golding presented his resig­ nation. His successor received the ap pointmenta few days ago, and has taken charge of the postal affuirs in our neigh boring village ON the first page of the PLAINDEALER onr readers will find a graphic deBcrip tion of the cowardly assassination of Carter Harrison. By the change made in the form of this paper we are enabled to give our readers this important news this week. Under our former system our readers would not be able to peruse this article before next week. Remember this fact. ^ A GOOD story is told on a young fellow from a neighboring town who occasion ally visits a McHenry girl. It is said that our hero sat on the back steps of the girl's home and waited for the young lady to come out. While there he fell asleep and was awakened by the return tof his girl with another fellow. The twain '/Wait f imily, near Yolo. x : ED.

James D. Hutchinson and Miss Charlotte Zickler, both of Wauke- gan, were the happy young people who were united for life. THE Byron Express vouches for the fol­ lowing snake story: "Samuel Parsons killed the largest snake of the season Sunday down near the river. It was a bull snake and measures just six feet long and two inches through in the largest place." . THE price of apples will be high this winter, as the Illinois, Michigan and Missouri crops are failures. A few are coming in from Wisconsin, but even in that state the fruit is scarce. Already the price of apples runs from $3.50 to $5 per barrel. IN storing apples in barrels it to said to be a good'thing to line the barrels with newspapers. A , farmer who has tried the experiment says that in those unlined he found some of the fruit decay­ ed, while in the paper lined barrels every apple was sound and in fine condition. A FARMER in Winnebago county having the deed of his farm in his vest pocket hung the garment on the fence while at work in the field,' and a cow coming along ate part of the vest and all of the deed. The question#now is, is that cow the owner of the farm, as the title of the land was duly vested in her? The blackbirds have held their conven­ tion and flown south earlier than is their wont. Husks are unusually heavy on the corn. Sparrows are selecting their winter quarters in protected places. The inevitable ground hog is burrowing deep in the ground. All this presages a long, cold winter. REV. SLADE, who has occupied the pul­ pit of the Universalist church in this place for the past six years, proposes to take up his connection with the parish after a couple of weeks. He gave notice last Sunday that there would be preach­ ing next Sunday, and the Sunday alter, ' Nov. 12, he wonld preach his farewell nnrmon the effulgent moonlight.

ARTICLES of incorporation of the Lake Shore, Riverview and Elgin Railway Co. have been filed in the office of the secre­ tary of state.

THE Progr&s, published lit Eureka, III., has just closed the seventh year of its existence, and i* now entering upon volume eight. The paper has risen from a position of insignificant influence to a proijd eminence afuong the leading week­ lies 6f Central Illinois. Bro. Slyter, the able gentleman at the helm, has labored hard to place his paper in the front rank and is to be congratulated on his great success. A PRINTER in a neighboring town re­ cently walked into a certain business house in his rounds to know who desired anything in the way of advertisements and noted a drummer standing by the counter with his sample valise ready to open. "Anything you want to say in the paper this week?" said the printer to the man behind the counter. "No," said the business man, "I don't believe in adver- ing." The drummer waited until he was half way to the door, then slowly taking his valise remarked, "Well, that lets me out. I do not care to Bell on time to a man who at this age does not believe in advertising. When I want to strike a trade with a dead man I'll go to the «*ap business." . ; * >!s> ri"-<r4Ai>: J.'P.

LAST night was made hideous fef idtne of the boys about town, the occasion be­ ing Halloween, Considerable damage was done at several places, and the own­ ers are consequently righteously indig­ nant. Innocent amusement is all right, but when depredations are committed it is all wrong. The village board should at an early date enact such measures as will subject perpetrators of such meanors to a severe penalty. IT is told that once upon a time a cer­ tain man got mad at the editor and stopped his paper. Tbe next week he eoia his corn four cents below the market price. Then his property was sold for taxes because he did not know his taxes were due. He was arrested and fined $8 for hunting on Sunday because he did not know it was Sunday, and paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised for two weeks, and the public cautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a neighbor with a foot like a forge hammer to kick him all the way to a newspaper office where he paid four years subscription in advance and made the editor sign an agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever ordered his paper stopped again.

Others are not. Some things are absolutely necessary in every school. No school can be a success with out thetn. Dictionary, globe, good blackboards-toal slate is the cheapest and beat in the end--reading chart and maps are essential, and should be sup­ plied as fast as the finances of the district will allow. Maps, charts and other ap­ paratus bouathr. of agents usually cost many tipe* wh*t they are worth. It is much better to buy supplies of all kinds of local deal-rs. The county has been canvassed to such an extent for almost worthless and high-priced charts and supplies, that I feel it my duty to utter a word of caution to directors. Before purchasing supplies of any kind it is well to consult the teachers or other parties engaged in school work. No one knows so well what is needed in any business as those who are engaged in that business Teachers should be well posted in ithe needs of their schools and not ask for worthless apparatus nor that which can­ not be used. The County Superinten­ dent will take pleasure in assisting school officers at any time in all matters per­ taining to their schools." ^ . ' • ' -j.- Gee Whin! THE last race of the season occurred at the Hebron Driving Park last "Friday. The contestants were a span of horses to wagon, and a cow on foiir wheels. It Was this way: The tiuie nothaving been sufficiently lowered during the summer season with homes, it WM though best to give the COWH a chance. So Friday, with County Superintendent Wire as reinsman and F. Gratton as coacher, the race was declared on. It took a great deal of persuasion to get one of the hor­ ses to start, but with such well known sports as Doc Holmes, M. W. Merry, Mr. Soper, Wm. Gay, Bod Prouty and John Reynolds using their several modes of persuasive power, the horse concluded to start, and the way they went around that half mile track was a caution. The horses had about eight feet the start of the cow, but they never gained an inch, and when they came under the wire the cow was right after them, having kept her place to an inch. The boys say that it was all due to the efficient driving of the superintendent that the cow was de­ clared the winner. The crowd of specta­ tors was large, no admission being charged. Thus ended the last chapter of tbe races at Hebron for the year 1893.-- Hebron Tribune. Now is the to boy your s Shoes cheap. Buy now.

Oh, woman, if you will have carpets somebody must propel the sweeper; if you must have stuffy curtains and hang­ ings some one must fight the invading motb; if you will make your house an art gallery, a museum of modern curios, a furniture warehouse, a china emporium, a toy shop and a World's Fair in minia­ ture--why, you do make it a dimple of lovliness, but know this, my daughter, and hear it for thy good, she that in- creaseth bric-a-brac increaseth care, and much bijouterie is a weariness of the flesh, writes Robert J. Burdette in his own inimitable way on "The Taskmis- tress of Woman," in the November Ladies' Home Journal. But all this is your own doing. Wherefore, do not come around the den of the man, wailing that woman's work is never done; that you are tired to death, and that you have no time to read or improve your­ self. Go to your mirror and make faces at the responsible party. Of course the monster enjoys all these things--the ex­ quisite taste and the art and the loveliness in his house. He enjoys the toothsome breakfast and the dainty china, the elab­ orate luncheon and the great dinner. But he doesn't really need so much, and I doubt very much if it is good for him; he is always apt to get more than is good Fur caps a specialty at the Farmers' Store. - C. R.
