Rupp, the new proprietor o! the McHenry PLAINUEALER has changed the paper from a ready print to an all at home paper, This is a move in the right direction. Mr. Rupp, though a young man, has had a very successful career as a newspaper man. In a column article in the PLAINOEALER of this wees he makes a very plain and forcible statement of the advantages of on all at home paper over a ready print. The Record soon after it came under the present manage­ ment was changed to an all at home print. We saw the many advantages this would be to our patrons and we de­ termined to try the experiment though we were fully aware that it meant much additional hard labor and some addi­ tional expense. Bat we believed that this was the kind of paper the people ought to have so we determined to try it. Ourefforts have been appreciated to that extent that we feel no disposition to go back to theold fashioned "patent inside" although we are convinced that the peo­ ple do not as yet appreciate fully the ad­ vantages of an all at home paper. But the increase in onr circulation has been very gratifying and we are confident it will be more so as the people become more familiar with the advantages of an all home paper.--A rcola Record. SHS?"',':, the aid of the corporation; nor can the corporation undertake the improvement without the help of our citizens as indi­ viduals. Both forces are required. They are absolutely necessary if we are to have electric light". The corporation is in a position to do its share. The village treasury is in a fine condition. There is plenty of money at hand to begin the work. On the part of the corporation the initiative step must be taken by the village board of trustees, if action is taken at all. On the part of the citizens as Individ­ uals there is no organisation now in ex­ istence. An organization is needed that the citizens may confer intelligently with the representatives of the corporation. We suggest that an association, whose motto shall be ' Public Improvements," be at once organized. Such an associa­ tion could become a permanent institu­ tion. After successfully grappling with the electric light question, it could devote its attention to other worthy public im­ provements 10* Ed win R. Morse, of Springfield, is now managing editor of the Paris, 111., Evening Beacon, the property of ex- tJuited States Marshal Charles P. Hitch. Mr. Morse is one of the ablest newspaper men of the state. For over thirty years he has wielded a pen in the editorial sanctum. A native of Maine, he enjoyed the personal friendship of James G. Blaine, Hannibal Hamlin, William P. Fr.ye, Eugene Hale, and a score of lesser lights. Coming to the west he took up his residence at Bloomington, where he became managing editor of the Daily Leader, and afterwards one of the pro­ prietors of the plant. There he was hon­ ored with several offices of trust, and there he became a great power in the councils of the Republican party. It was while Mr. Morse lived at Bloomington that we made hia acquaintance and form­ ed an exalted opinion of thatgentleman's ability. Mr. Morse is a vigorous writer, and iB in every respect a capable news­ paper man. In securing him the Paris Beacon has made a valuable acquisition. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. ' ̂ Nie easiest way to build up a town is to add public improvemennts. This is really the on'y genuine plan. Every improvement helps to promote the wel­ fare of tbe town, and the sum of ail the improvements places the town on the high road which leads to prosperity. Should a sentiment favoring public im­ provements in the village of McHenry be­ gin to manifest itself the signs of the times would point to an auspicious future for our town. Should the pouular will then materialize into something substan­ tial, the future prosperity of the town would be insured. It would be a pros­ perity, too, of which our citizens could well be proud. What would be the state of affairs if such an era should be reach­ ed? It is difficult to enumerate all the advantaged which public improvements would bring to the people of this village. We have not sufficient space to go into details in this issue of the PLALVDEALER. Briefly, public improvements would add comfort to the homes of our citizens, would increase the value of real estate] would enhance the volume of business in our stores, and would render the village more beautiful. Now there are neveral public improve­ ments which would be beneficial to this "village. But in this article we will only mention one--electric lights. * There are other public improvements which would materially build up the town. But a system of electric lights is needed more than any other public improvement that we might name. We have already men­ tioned the many advantages of electric lights. It is not necessary at the pres­ ent time to dwell on this point, for every citizen who has given the matter a single thought must concede that the PLAIN DEALER was right when some time ago it said: "Electric lights are the lights of tbe times." The main question to answer is: How are we to secure electric lights? The>an dwer is simple. There can be but one reply. It is this: If we would have a system of electric lights in onr midst,the village of McHenry as a corporation and the people of the town as individuals must co-operate for a common purpose, o y rm . % fiT As good an illustration of the rise and fall of cities as can be found can be seen in Nauvoo, which the writer several years ago had the pleasure of visiting. This town is located in Hancock county, in the western part of the states During tbe Mormon regime Nauvoo was tbe largest city in the state of Illinois. She had a population of 20,00^ souls, while Chicago had only 4,500 inhabitants Now Chicago has a million and Nauvoo only 1,252 by the last census. Such is fate. Had the Mormons been permitted to remain there, Nauvoo would probar bly be Chicago to-day. But the Mormons declared when they left there and declare yet that they will some day return and build a wonderful city there. They s that city is destined to be their Zion and there it is where will be erected a temple greater than any ever before constructed by man. l&'Migs Kuehne Beveridge is a grand­ daughter of John L. Beveridge, an ex- governor of Illinois. The young lady was reared in DeKalb connty. She is a woman of remarkable literary powers aud has won considerable distinction in the world of letters. She is as indepen­ dent in spirit as tbe free birds that flv in the air, and this cbaracteristicjhas recent­ ly been displayed in a manner which has given the young lady much notorietjr Miss Beveridge was a few days ago secretly married to Charles Coghlan, the popular actor. She asked no one's ad­ vice or consent but her own. Oh, not She was too independent for that. And now the twain are in perfect bliss, for tbe bride's mother has forgiven her daughter for taking the matrimonial step without consultation. 18^ There are cranks, and cranks, and cranks, and as the years roll by these disturbers of peaceful humatfity increase in numbers. Tbe latest news concerning these unbalanced individuals is to the effect that Geo. Gould, of New York, was fiendishly attacked by a monster in man's clothing. The crazy villain want­ ed six thousand dollars as the price of his instantaneous disappearance. He did not get what be wanted for he was captured and placed behind the bars. The time is rapidly drawing nigh when measures must be taken to lasso all cranks found at large. (•"President Gfevtiatid ha* proclaimed th t̂ Thursday, Nov. 30, shall be a day of national Thanksgiving. IBT'Congrees adjourned sine die on the 3r$ lost. A few hours later President Cleveland issued His Thanksgiving proclamation. ISTThe broom corn center of the earth Is located in Illinois. The honor belongs to Areola, a pretty town located in the eastern part of the state, in Douglas county. 16? Buffalo Bill has bought a fine house in. North Platte, Neb., near the spot where he killed his first Indian; and there, it is said, he intends to make his home in'future. 9Sf The origin of Halloween, or Hol- lereen, as it should more fittingly be termed, is shrouded in mystery. There are many people nowadays who would be profoundly thankful if Hollereen had never been inventpd. (if The King of Denmark has three daughters who are more distinguished than the three daughters of any other one man now living. One is Empress of Rus­ sia; another is the Princess of Wales; tbe third is the Dnchess of Cumberland. 5?"Thus far the participants in the sports of Halloween have had the right of way. But the time has come when the law should define the limit to which such doings may be carried. Had the Hallow­ een depredations of the present genera­ tion been committed in tbe days of Job, even that patient gentleman could not have controlled his temper. Innocent amusement is all in order, but when property is wantonly destroyed, patience ceases to be a virtue. 18^ A farmer in Central Illinois has proven himself such a money saver that be is easily entitled to Kohlsaat's Chica­ go baking establishments. When the nickle bearing the "V" instead of the "5" was first coined he thought he would lay aside all that came to him. He kept up the practice faithfully until a few days since he bought a heating stove and paid thirty-three dollars, all in nickles. It took this farmer about six years to ac­ cumulate his store of nickles. Here is an ©le^p^|ghts without object lesson worth# ai#tody. | ) |®*The oldest living member of the G. A. R., in Illinois, resides at Abingdon, Kqox county; His name is Henry Nichols and he is 92 years of age. He was a member of the 107th Illinois regiment, and was 62 years old when he enlisted. He is of soun^ mind and body. |0*The°returns from the elections this morning indicate that McKinley carried Ohio by 50,000. The Republicans car­ ried New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Jersey and South Dakota. Virginia and Kentucky were carried by the Democrats. In Cook county, 111., the Republicans elected the judges. l6T"Editor Dewey, of tbe St. Charles Chronicle, says that twenty-one years ago he heard a speaker at a public meet­ ing in Chicago accuse his political oppo­ nents of corruption and debauchery. "Take their money," roared the orator, "put it in your pocket, and then vote as you d please." The speaker was the late Carter H. Harrison, who was at that time a candidate for congress. WT"The closing of the World's Fair," says an exchange, "has thrown over 20,000 people out of employment." Yes, but the business world in this section of the universe is already feeling the benefi­ cent influence of the closing of the Fair. Ffty thousand men thrown out of em­ ployment on account of the dullness in business circles produced by the Fair, will now soon find work. It is a blessing to all country towns in Illinois that the Fair is at an end. IW Senator Allen, the Populist who represents Nebraska in the upper house of Congress, distinguished himself by a fifteen t>our speech on the silver question without intermission. One of our ex­ changes says that this was the longest speech by five or six hours ever made in the Senate. This statement is, however, a mistake. Daniel Webster, on one oc­ casion, beat Allen's record. Webster de­ sired to defeat a measure, and in order to do so began speaking at midnight of March 2, and continued for twenty-four hours. When he sat down no vote could be taken because the term of Congress was ended. Dan's record of twenty-fonr hours of continuous oratory has never been equalled in the world. feP~The PLAINDEALER views with sad­ ness several fierce newspaper wars among journals in various towns of tbe com­ monwealth. The language with which several of theSe warring papers pulverize each other may be summarized about as follows: "We intend to keep hurling hot shot at the editor of the Corkscrew from our editorial locker until the thin mantle of quasi-respectability is torn from his shoulders, revealing him as he really is, reeking with corruption, morally leprous, sin-stained, debased, despised, abhor­ rent, abominated, detested, scoffed at, reviled, a liar and a snake." This is all wrong, brethren, all wrong. Cease your warfare or your readers will cease perus­ ing your paper. People are adverse to newspaper wrangling; this is no He. ST"The Sandwich Argus asserts that the wife of one of its citizens was fined $3 and costs for thrashing another woman, who, she thought, "was trifling with the affections of her husband." We have often heard that a woman will be­ come indignant when another person of feminine persuasion makes love, real love we meau, to the first oneVhubby." But we have always thought that wbeu the other woman was only "trifling" with the affections of tbe husband, the. lat- ter's wife would look on with amusement and delight. Evidently such was not the case with this Sandwich woman. Per­ haps she thrashed her victim simply to avenge the wrongs to which her darling husband had been subjected by the fickle love-maker. * New underwear, flannels, blankets, shawls, robes, gloves, caps and yarns at Simon Stoffels.
