Owen and S. S. Chapell, in West McHenry, on Fri­ day last, which was to commemorate several important events in their lives, which was the 8Jst birthday of Grandma Gage, 59th birthday.of Mrs. II.C. Smith, 40th anniversary of the marriage of H. C. Smith and wile, the 6th anniversary of the marriage of L. n. Owen and wife, and the 2d anniversary of the marriage of S. S. Chapell and wife. While these anniversaries did not all occur on the same day they were all observed together and a very pleasant social (time was the result. There were present only the im­ mediate families of those named, to­ gether with the family of Homer Clemens, who is also a son-in-law ^>f Mr. Gage. Such gatherings are not only pleaeant, but serve to keep bright the memories of both old And young. May they,one and all, live to eDjoy many more gatherings of the same kind. _ . New Brass Band* A new brass band has beett in this village, have received their instru­ ments, and after a short season of prac­ tice will be ready to furnish our citizens with first class music on short notice A part of the members are old musicians, while the balance is composed of young men who are musically inclined, and we predict that in a short time this band will take a stand among the best in the county. The following are the names of the members: Solo Cornet list Cornet 2d Cornet ..E b Clarionet Solo-Alto 2d Alto Tenor .Slide Trombone E b Basp Snare Drum Snare Drum Geo. Hanly.......... Geo. Howe I.

Whether it wan an accident or something else or ,who the parties were, remains a mystery. But it is evident that in neither case was t^e injury of a serious nature. at / RBV. W.

NOHDQUEST has left on our desk a twig cut from a pear tree in his father's yard, on which is a cluster of seven large handsome pears. The tree itself is so heavily loaded that it has to be propped to keep it from breaking down, and still the limbs are bent over so as to al­ most touch the ground it is so heavily loaded. It presents a very handsome appe&rancd. FRANK SEXTON was in town one day last weak with a load of the finest pump­ kins we have seen this. year. From the one left at our residence we are now en­ joying some very excellent pumpkin pies. He aleo had some very fine winter apples Of which be left os a liberal sample. THE Nunda Herald came out last week enlarged to a seven column quarto. The editor says, in speakiDg of the enlarge­ ment, that, "owing to thegreat demands on the advertising columns, we have en­ larged the Herald to a seven column quarto. This gives our readers their full allowance of reading matter, and also does away with the troublesome supple­ ment. If. in the dull season, business does not warrant th° continuance o' so la*ge a paper, we will return to a six column." We congratulate Brother Beatty on this evidence o {prosperity. PROF VT. T. BEST, One of Chicago's expert and oldest Opticians, is now at the Riverside Houee for a few days, where he can be se<»n from 9 to 12 M , and at Dr. Auringer's Office from 1 to 4 P. M , each day. He will be pleased to meet anyone needing GlasseR or having inflamed eyes, dimness of vis­ ion or black, floating spots before the eyes.

He will examine your eyes at your home and correct all errors of refracture as well a<» though you went to any large city.-- If you wish Prof. Best to call and see you leave word at the Hotel. THE whereabouts of C () Armstrong who has been missing for some time, is still a mystery, and every effort is tuing made to locate lirn. The M W. A. have sent out the following notice: C. O.

Another of those little gems of typo­ graphic art characteristic of the North­ western Railroad company has just been issued, in the shape of a beautiful and artistically gotten up booklet, the sul - j-'ct matter of which is a description of the Hawaiian Islands and their resources, which is presented together with an ex­ cellent map of this interesting recent ad­ dition to the United States. Of course t' e booklet has an especial object, the calling of attention to the Northwestern Railroad's famous trains, "The Over­ land Limited" and "The Pacific Express," which furnish such admirable transporta­ tion to San Faancisco, the gateway of the Hawaiian group. Lawyer Casey enters Suit Lawyer J. F. Casey last week began suit against the C. & N-W. R. R. Co., for the killing of Mrs. Carpenter. The amount si:ed for is $5,000, being the limit ofthe law in such cases. The trial of tbn case will be an interesting one, no doubt, as Mr. Casey is one the ablest and best trial lawyers in our court--a fighter every inch of him. Casey says the company is liable without doubt, and the company says it is not, so a battle roy­ al is coming--Democrat School of Pftarmacy. The formal opening of the School of Pharmacy of the State University took place in Chicago. Tuesday, October 4.

He #as shot down in th^ street, and a woman by tbe name of Mrs. George is under arrest, charged with the crime. President and Mrs McKinley arrived at Canton on Monday to attend the funeral. As no one saw the shooting the evidence against Mrs. George is purely circum­ stantial, but the 'relation existing be­ tween Ibis woman and the murdered man lends an air of probability as to her guilt.

A western paoer says that in the be­ ginning God created the heavens and the earth ; then he made the editor, the li­ beral advertiser and the prompt paying subscriber, and it was good. The next day a blizzard sot in and be created the man who didn't believe in advertising and another who didn't take his home paper; then he rested. Then the devil got into the moulding room and he created the iellow who takes the paper for year8 and then fails to pay for it. After completing that sorry jqb and hav­ ing a few lumps of mouldy, pigsty mud left, he made the excuse for a man who settles his subscription by instructing the postmaster to mark his paper "refused" and he felt so mean about it that be has been kicking himself ever since.--/2x.

Died, at his home north of Wanconda, on Thursday, Sept. 20,1898,- Mr. James Monahan, aged 84 years. The history of Lake County says in an autobiography of Mr. Monahan that he was one of the largest laud owners and most sncoeseful farmers ip the county. He was born in the connty Sligo, Ire­ land, in 1814, and began life for himsell at the age of sixteen. In two years he earned and saved money enough to pay passage to America and came to Lock- port, N. Y., where he went to work on the Erie canal and had earned almost \ flOO, wh< n during tbe excitement caused by the cry of fire he forgot its safety, and when he return id to his work he found that his money had been taken. He was not discouraged and continued to work and save and soon had the coveted $100 which he used to purchase his brother's discharge from the British army. Thus his first earnings were used for the good of others, and all his long life he was ever ready to assist those in need. His first wife was Eliza Lane, who was born in Tipparary, Ireland, and a family of seven children was the result of their marriage. Mrs. Lane was a sister of "Indian Fighter" Jim Lane. She died at the age of forty years, and her children are among the most respectable people of the country. In 1863 Mr. Monahan married Miss Bradley, who has been a most devoted wife and mother, both to the former family and her own family of twelve sons and daughters. These, too, except the youngest boy, *are grown up men and women, and now this noble woman who has done so u.uch good in the world must feel the cruel pang of loneliness in her declining years. The funeral was conducted by the Knight Templarp, of which Mr. Mon­ ahan was a member for over thirty years, interment being in the cemetery at Wauconda. So one by one those who have made our history pass to the wide beyond, and their deeds live after them. I O S GRAVES, Janesvilie, Wis., is selling land for only $10 per acre, on long time and easy pay­ ments.
