The problem had the whole country and: s half of Europe figuring and burning the midnight oil for a year. Now there is a new one. There is nothing to fig­ ure except to wonder at the wonderful brain of the man who has figured out that he is his own grandfather. The fact does not seem possible. It is, how­ ever, according to a certain Lake coun­ ty man, who has told all about it in a letter, as follows: v $ *'I met a young widow with a grown up step daughter and I married that widow. "Then my father met our stepdaugh­ ter and married her. That made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in law and made my stepdaughter my stepmother, and my father became ay stepson. See? "Then my stepmother, the stepdaugh­ ter of my wife, had a sonf That was, of course, my brother, because be was my father's son, but he was also the son of my wife's stepdaughter, and there­ fore her grandson. That made me grandfather of my stepbrother. Then wife had a soft. "My mother-in-law, the stepsister of my son, is also his grandmother, be­ cause be is her stepson's child. My father is the brother-in-law of my son, because his stepsister is my wife. I am the brother of my own son, who is also the child of my grandmother. Iam my mother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aont, my son is my father's nephew, and I am my pwn grandfath. er." ^ School Notes. Ada Carey entered the ninth grade Monday. Monday of this week was Miss Ste­ vens' birthday anniversary. The Athletic association is ready for basket ball practice in earnest at last. Florence Carey And James Cordingley have been among the absentees from high school this week. The teachers' meeting on next Mon­ day, at 3:30 will discuss "Hand Training in the School." Anyone who is inter­ ested is cordially invited to meet with them. Miss Boyer was the recipient of a pleasant surprise on the anniversary of her birthday last week, when her fel­ low teachers came in to spend the even­ ing in honor of the occasion. Preparations are beginning for work in business practice and bookkeeping. Young people not in school but wishing to take up this work may arrange with Prof. Ricfsto do so by seeing him at once. Doctor* Said He Would Not Llva, Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes; After doctoring for two years with the best physicians in Waynesburg, and still getting worse, the doctors advised me if I had any business to attend to I had better attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month, as there was no enre for me. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a friend, and I immediately sent my son to the store for it, and after taking three bottles I began to get better and continued to improve until I was en­ tirely well."

' Garne ts Marred by Sad A oeldent--Locals Hit Ball at Will and Steal Basel With Ease. The Long Lake team came over last Sunday for a contest with the MdHenry Blues, but owing to the fact that the visitors knew very little about the national game the performance could not rightfully be termed* contest, bat a eomedy farm So far were the visit­ ors outclassed by the locals that had the Blues played the kind of 1ml 1 that they are capable of playing the two teams would still be playing the first inning of Sunday's contest, but after scoring jnst an even dozen runs the locals took pity on the Long Lake aggregation and allowed themselves to be put out. A sad accident occurred in, the third inning, in which Bending, detain and short stop of the Bines, broke lis leg. Bending went to first base on an error, stole second and third, and was stealing home when the accident happened. In running to .the home plate from third the victim ran into the catcher with terrific force, sustaining the injury above stated. Bending was at once taken to the Northwestern hotel, where Dr. Wells was called to set the injured member. Only seven innings were played, as the accident caused a delay of nearly twenty minutes. After the first inning was over the locals began to play horse with the visitors and in the fifth inning a grand mix-up of McHenry'^ line-up took place. Weber and Ulrich changed places, as did Cash and Bos worth, and with the farce line-up the visitors< se­ cured only seven tallies, all of which were presented to them thru foolish playing on the part of the locals. The Long Lake team expected to come to McHenry with a t«anr com­ posed mostly of West End players from Chicago, but the windy city players dis­ appointed the Long Lake manager at the last moment, necessitating him to hurriedly gather up a team on Sunday morning, which undoubtedly accounts for the poor showing of the visitors. The following is the score by/ innings: R H E McHenn. IS 0 1 3 2 .1 •--1» 11 8 Long Lake 0 0 2 10 1 3-- 7 4 8 BENEFIT GAME. r. A Jaeneftt game for Lewis Bending will be played at the ball park next Sunday afternoon, when the Woodstock Reds will be over for another contest. It was the intention of the local<^nan- agers that last Sunday's game should be the last of the season, bat as the ac­ cident occurred the players though! it a good idea to play a benefit game tot their unfortunate captain and team mate, so decided to pull off the contest next Sunday, having secured the Wood­ stock Reds for the attract:on. • All of the players have willingly donated their services and the proceeds of the game will go to Bending. The two teams will line up about the same as they did a few weeks ago when Mc­ Henry was victorious, winning by the close score of 4 to 8. The game will be called promptly at 2:45 p. m. Admis­ sion, 10 and 25 cents. Everybody turn out, as this is positively the last oppor­ tunity yoa will have to see ^a game in McHenry this season, "t . Auction.

Made by MeHenry Connty Agricultural Society at Recent Meeting. • <A. meeting of the board of directors ojf the McHenry County Agricultural board was held at Woodstock. Tuesday, Oct. 9, for the final auditing of the ac­ counts of the recent fair. It was found that after thts payment of all expenses of the\fair a balance of $1,896.33 re­ mained. ' . • / ] < It was voted that the attnnac interest on the ^indebtedness of /the bosrd, amounting to $407.76, be p?tid, also that there be paid upon the principal of said indebtedness the sum of $1,859.22, this payment being 20 per cent, of the en* tire indebtedness of the board, «.nd which reduces the debt to $5,490.89. A detailed repot t of the receipts and expenditures of the fair will be present* ed at the coming annual meeting to be held at Woodstock, Saturday, Oct. 90, at one o'clock sharp. Masters of unusual importance will be discussed and it is hoped that every member, lady or gentleman, will make It a point to be present at thft meeting. ~ The above is truly a most excellent report and clearly shows that the peo­ ple of the county appreciate the good work done by the society. More than a little praise is due Geo. A. Hunt, sec­ retary of the association, for the good work done by that gentleman individ­ ually. Mr. Hunt is, without donbt, the hardest working man to be found in many states, and it is truly gratifying to see that his efforts have been so well rewarded. Everybody lift your bat to Geo. A. Hunt, one of the greatest men the county has ever known. M. K. Church Officers.

" Famished Horse Found in Woods. , Woods tookSentinel: A horse hitched to a buggy and tied to a tree in the woods on the old Clark farm in Green­ wood, where it had evidently stood for three or four days without food or wa­ ter, is A mystery that is pnzzling the tenant John Stanger. Sunday after- fioon, Mr. Stanger, who rents the farm of Richards, Jewett & Wright, made the discovery. .The horse was tied in a clump of bushes thirty oi more rods from the road. It had kicked itself par­ tially loose from the rig when foond. As soon as loose the famished animal began to eat the dry leaves and grass, roots and all, and even thfe soil, and could scarcely be led away from the trough after being watered. It is thought the rig may have been stolen by someone and abandoned by the thief because afraid to proceed farther, or it®»may have belonged to someone who has met with a great accident or has cqgpmitted suicide. At any rate it is a queer case and Mr. Stanger was quite brought up over the matter. Baraca Social. The Baraca class of the Methodist Sunday school met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Wheeler last Friday evening and spent the hoars ih social amusements. Each invited guest was allowed the privilege of bringing a com­ panion. Refreshments were served to about thirty persons. Much credit is due to Prfcf. Rice for famishing enter­ tainment, and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler for their hospitality. The so­ cial was a successful and pleasant af­ fair, and all expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the sociabil­ ity and amusements of the evening.

John Wagner of Fremont is the first man to have the honor of taking out an application for naturalization under the new law and giving the state $7 instead of $1, Wagner, who is a German, made application Friday. He was pat thru the more rigid preparatory work and will not be taken before the court for three months, during which time hie name will be posted in a .public plaoe. Out West no man dies content unless he has paid his newspaper subscription, for the editors have a way of squaring things in obituary accounts. For in­ stance, an Indian Territory editor took ocoasion on the death of a reader to write this: "Deceased was a mild man­ nered man with a mouth for whiskey. He came here in the night with another man's wife and joined the church at the first opportunity. He owes us $7 on the paper." After a chase across five states De­ tective Benthusen of Nunda last week captnred Perry B. Long at Elk Ridge, Mont, on a charge of robbery. Long is well know n in Lake Geneva, where the robbery occurred, and at Nunda It is claimed that Long robbed a trunk left at the Northwestern depot at Lake Geneva by Mrs. Small. The trnnk was to have been shipped into Chicago that night. From the trunk it is claimed that Long took valuables worth over $2,142 Barrington News: Patrick Courtney, who resides near Wauconda, met with a severe loss early Monday morning. Fifty sheep that were in a pasture in Cuba were attacked by dogs, killing ten and injuring ten more so badly that most of them will have to be killed. An investigation was held Tuesday, but the owner of the dog or dogs conld not be ascertained. The Ibes was adjusted by Supervisor M. T. Lamey for fifty dollars, which barely covers Mr. Court ney's loss. A janitor in a neighboring school |hrew up his job the other day. When asked what was the trouble, he said, -'I'm an honest man and I won't stand being slurred. If I find a pencil or a handkerchief 'bout the school I hang it up. Every little while the teacher or someone who is too cowardly to face me gives me a slur." "In what way?" asked the officer. "Why, a little while ggo I saw written on the board, find he common multiple.' Well, I looked from cellar to garret, and I wouldn't know the thing if I met it on the street. What made me quit my job? Last night Written on the blackboard it said, find the greatest common divisor.' Well', I says to myself, 'both of them darned things are lost now and I'll be hiamwrt for swipin' 'em, so I'll quit." ^ How to Cure a Cold. The question of how to cure a coM without unneccessary loss of time is one in which we are more or lees interested, for the quicker a eold is gotten rid of the less the danger of pneumonia and other serions diseases. Mr. B. W. L. Hall of Waverly, Va., has used Cham­ berlain's Cofigh Remedy for years and says: "I firmly believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best preparation on the market for colds. I have recommended it to my friends and they all agree with me." For sate by G. W. Besley. •* Death of Frank Benolkln. Hon. Frank Benolkin died at his home at Freeport, Minn., of Bright's disease, on Thursday morning, October 4. Mr. Benolken was born in McHenry in 1846, being 60 years of age at the time of hip death. He is survived by a wife and three sons, all residing in the state^ of Minnesota, and two daughters living outside of the state.

Fuller's stoi^ at Volo been broken into three times in the month and twice in G0e week. ,4!he culprits appear to be very poor burglars, as so far nothing of much yalue has been taken and the£ third time they made their entrance they were seen. There were two • men and they made enough noise to awaken Miss Anna Miller, an employe at the store, who lives just opposite the store and who arose and gained a view of them as they fled. r„ The robberies have been carried on in a most peculiar manner and the motives are not understood, as the robbers could easily have carried off much valuable property. Twice they secured nothing whatever as far as Mr. Fuller has been able to ascertain. The third time they tapped a couple of boxes of shot gun cartridges, removing the powder. What they wanted of the explosive is .not known unless it was to blow open the safe. * Volo is on its nerves and if the rob­ bers are caught in another attempt the chances are that they will be meted out sudden justice, as Mr. Fuller has care­ fully reloaded his shells and has sup­ plied bnckshot.

It would be interesting to see what would happen should all our people buy all their supplies from the mail order houses. But this is about the way it would work out: Our stores would stand it abont as long as they could and then move away. Oar banks would close their doors. The newspa­ per would have to quit. The hotels would have to go out of business, me­ chanics move away, schools dwindle, sidewalks go to wreck, buildings would become vacant, unpainted and dilapi­ dated, strangers would take one look and flee. Now isn't that precisely what would happen if our entire town were populated with people who bought ev­ erything in Chicago? Who would buy a farm so located that he couldn't drive to some sort of a town? A sane man wouldn't take land at half prlee.
