The boys of Company G, whose homes are in Mc Henry and vicinity, ar­ rived here on a special from Crystal Lake aboot 11 o'clock in the evening, and were met at the depot by a large crowd of ou/citizans who had remained up to that late hour to honor the boys who had shown their patriotism by going to the front at their country's call. They were escorted to the restau­ rant of C. B. Murphy where they were given an oyster supper before they de­ parted for their several homes. On Saturday evening u public reception and supper, was given them at the City Hall, and the ladies who had charge of the supper g&ve them a grand banquet, and it was such a one at* only the ladies know how to get up. Everything the heart could wish or the apetite crave was set before them, and wan greatly eDjoyed and appreciated by the boys who for five long months had lived on army rations and endured the hardships incident to army life. After ample justice had been done to the eatables all adj turned to the upper rooms in the City Hall, where speeches by H. C. Mead, Commander of the Grand Army Post, and Hon. Fj K Granger, singing by the McHenry Quar­ tette, music by the McHenry Military Band, etc., were the order of the evening.

At the same time the truck team of Harry Wightman undertook to take a band in but "Honnas" w JS too quictf for them, S»ad stopped them before they had fairly got in motion.

Co veil, aged 81 years, five months and eighteen days. Mr. Covell came to this county fifty yeart ago, and has resided on the farm where he died forty-eight years. He was a man of sterling integrity, upright in all his dealing with his fellow man, and a man whom to know was to honor and respect. He was one of the early settlers and over theee many years active in lending his aid in bringing this county up to the high standard it has gained of one of the foremost counties in the state. He was always of the high order of man­ hood, with babits ol industry and morals highly exemplary. In feligious belief he was a Universalist and lent his support to that church, and when younger and able was a constant attendant. On the 24th of March, 1844, the de­ ceased was married to Miss Rosaline Reed, from which nnion two children were born, Simeon Covell, who resides at the old homestead, and Mrs. A. L. Howe, of this village, who with his faithful com­ panion through life, and a host of friends are left to mourn his loss. He was a highly respected citizen, a kind and affectionate hush and and father, and en­ joyed the respect of a large circle of neighbors and friends. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon from the Universalist Church, the pastor, Rev. J. Straub, officiating, and his remains laid at rest in Woodland Cemetery. Thus one by one the old settlers are passiug away, but their memory will ever be dear to those who follow after them. Peace to their ashes. Resolutions ol Rsaveet. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Nov. 8,1898.

He reports everthing booming at Skagway. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says that he brought out $60,000 in gold with him. He met Chris Evensen who had just returned from a wedding trip to Dyea. Harry Phillips is a delivery clerk in a hash foundry and is doing well". Mr. Harris is a brother of Mrs. E. W. Howe, of this village and, is well known by many of our citizens here. We have also been shown a paper sent by him to Mrs. Howe, which is quite a curi­ osity. It is called the Eagle City 7ri bnne and is published at Eagle City, Ala»kaf under date of Sept. 10th, 1898^ It is 8x10 in siz», and was evidently? made^with a mineograph. It is quitep curiosity. ^ 1899 C0LUMS!A CALENDAR /..wflfiHR is a big, long sermon compressed into a line or so, and no sermon was ever delivered*that contained more solid truth to the line than these: "If you have a little farm or business, and are out of debt, don't fret or work yourself and wife to the grave for the %ake of money. Yon have but one life to livgT and it is brief at best. Take a little pleasure or comfort as you go along day by day and do a little good for others. A mor­ bid, innate longing to possess the earth, to grab everthing in sight, is the foun dation of more misery than any other one thing. Live as yon would wish to die."

LETTER FROM A PRESIDING ELDER OF TEE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Impressions of the * West. Mighty Presiding Jslder Robertson Writes Bn- ooaraginarly of the Prospects of the Northwest -- Compares Minne­ sota with the Dak -tan Women Should Know It. Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood. They have been led to behove tbat womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is respon­ sible for the many ills that beset worn in- kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puf­ fy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu­ matism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing-down sen­ sation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burning, sensation, sediment in it after standing in bottle or common ?lass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. „ The above symptoms are often attri­ buted by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not thi disease itself, but a reflection of the pri­ mary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to got at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wondeful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. Kindly mention the The McHenry PLAINDEALRR and send your address to Dr. Kilmer S, Co., Binghamton, N. Y. To Our 8 <bserIbers--Important. The Quaker Valley Mfg. Co., of Chi­ cago' have requested us to announce tnat they have several thousand sets of the finest coin silver-plated War Memo­ rial Spoons left over from their recent distribution. They will mail, postpaid, a full 8et of six of these spoons to every subscriber to the PLAINDEALER, who will send name and address--a postal card will do. If, on receipt of the spoons, you find them the most exquisitely beautiful specimens of the silversmith's art you ever saw, and worth $3 00, remit 78 cents, as payment in full, within 30 days; if not pleased, return spooDs im­ mediately. Each spoon is of a different design--after-dinner coffee 6ize--showing soldiers in camp in Cuba, Morro Castle and four United States Battleships. They are imperishable mementoes of the late war, and every subscriber should accept this most remarkable offer, and obtain a set before it is too late.

If you want something warm, neat and stylish in this line* call at Simon Stoffel's. Doubt was expressed by some of the earliest colonial fathers whefher this coui try would ever be settled west of what is now a suburb of Boston. On the Chicago & Northwestern Rail­ way train that bore me to South Dokota a fev* days ago a mother and children looked eagerly from the car window on nearing Can by to see if they could dis­ cover the new home the husband and father had selected lor them. Two even ings before, seventy-five people got off at C.iiihy to'populate.the prairies round about that one town. The country from ("aut».f"Marshall shows a remark- «ble advance in the few years that I have known these parts. A recent Bostonece accession to cul­ tured St I'aul society asked several if he had pretty nearly reached the frontier. Whether this question is a projection of the forefathers above mentioned or prompted by St. Paul society, 1 do not know, but 1 am confident tin time is not far distant when there will be no frontier in the United States. To au inhabitant of Norway and Ger­ many, with a map of thiB country before him, a distance of a few hundred miles ^ast or west counts tor naught. He sees none of our imaginary frontiers. He speks a home where land is cheap# and asserts dominion over the wild region. Iu the lifetime of the original setilere that commuuity is classified with the established order and the "pioneers" are become "old settler." And what about the land? The "pioneer" planted his shanty on the virgin eoil and staked out h e "claim." In the process of getting his liviner, with small additional money expenditure to the government, the "claim" becomes his "f.trm." As for ad­ vance in value, price some of the farms in soutI eastern Minnesota that are still in possession of the men who first settled upon thein. The history of eastern Minnesota w be­ ing repeated in western Minnesota and beyond. Canby is almost as far from Winona as Winona is from Chicago. The train that put off the mother and children at Canby carried me onward for a journey of more than a hundred miies beyond into South Dakota. Along the journey communities gave evidence of thrift and contentment that assure the future of this wide region which surprises me bevond measure with its already ac­ cumulated wealth and the unbounded confidence of the peoplo. I write this mindful of the doubtful tales which others than I may been led to consider as the only incidents to an otherwise dreary monotony. What I have just seen makes me a convert to the faith of tbe people, who are already supplanting the pioneer shed and shanty with sub­ stantial barns and com'ortable homes. Dr.'Chauacy Hobart, yet living at Red Wing, was pastor of the little frame Methodist church, located in what is now the heart of the great business district of Chiengo. fie was with the pioneers in southeastern Minnesota. I have been in Chicago upon the site of that early church and felt the throbbings of life within that mighty city whose vast piles that could gracefully weur the age of centuries were reached within the mature years of one man. 1 have traveled over Minnesota where that same man saw civilization's beginning. Wearied, with the march turns aside and succeeding generations leave ances­ tral homes and push on to repeat the history of what has been. In the new Methodist church in Conde. costing f 1,- 300 and dedicated with bills paid, I was preleged to preach. The people I met, the prosperity they enjoy, their intelli­ gence and e rnestness make it plain that this was no longer frontier. Said Gladstone "America is another name for opportunity." In this I con­ cur, but realize anew that the door of ODDortunity opens westward. v r D Dr. Bull's Congh Cure is pleasant to take; it tastes good; children like it; no trouble to adminster it and it always cures.
