There are approximately 500 cases of grip and pneumonia in Elgin and within the past two weeks there have been eight deaths from pneumonia. Harvard citizens are rejoicing over the completion of the new Northwest­ ern depot which cost $40,000 and far surpasses anything exjiected to be seen in that city. Frank Merrill, young Dunham farm­ er. delivered to D, Hereley & Sons of Harvard two hogs that weighed KVKJ pounds, for which he received $7.">0 per hundred, or a total of #»*}."«>.

The county board of Racine county, Wisconsin, has voted to establish a county school of agriculture and do­ mestic science.

Taking into consideration that not all men, women and children in­ dulge the share of those who do as­ sumes some projHirtions in way of averages. In order to keep up with its orders for machines, the Oliver t... pew ritei factory at Woodstock is obliged to work two nights each wet k and Satur­ day afternoon, the latter time having long been taken for a half holiday The Oliver now gives employment to about 900 people. Wauconda Leader: We received in­ formation early this week which seems to us pretty good evidence that the officers of the Waukegaii, Roc k ford and Elgin Traction company will run at least one car per hour each w ay be­ tween Palatine und Wauconda as early as Memorial day. At a banquet in Cetiar Rapids, la., on New Year's eve at the stroke of twelve. 300 members of the Mas^iic order celebrated St. John's day by registering a mental vow to never again use profanity. The vow was taken at the suggestion of Grand Master Frederick Craig of Des Moines who was the guest of honor and prin­ cipal speaker ol the evening. There will be no more of the mam moth ice houses built on the shoe's of Geneva lake. The wealthy property owners have so agreed and in pursu­ ance of their scheme have executed and filed with the registrar ot deeds, S. J. Dunbar, one of the longest docu­ ments ever placed on record. It re­ quired thirty-live large typewritten pages to recoi-d it, and the contents cover practically every foot of lake shore property owned by the summer residents. A source of great amusement to the boys at Algonquin is the hill that the Chicago Motor club built for the year­ ly climb. Instead of climbing the hill the I toys have iced the hill and it is crowded every day with sleds and bobs and a large party of men and boys. People from Elgin are also going to Algonquin to try the new hilT. The hill is a long one and is ideal for coast­ ing. The lx»>s have fixed their sleds up like automobiles and are holding mock races dow n the hill instead of up the hill. Richard W. Sears, until a year or so ago the senior partner in the great mail older firm of Sears, Roebuck \- Co., Chicago, has intimated that lie w ill add to the list of residences of Chicago captains of industry in Lake county and at the same time open up a new residence community by building a residence near Grayslake, 111. While he has long owned a farm near the village, he has always up to this time occupied the farm house which stands on the land, a modest home. Now he is to build a home more in keeping with his wealth. Mr. Sears owns al>out 400 acres in Lake county, some of which he paid for at the rate of £1.000 an acre. The Norge Ski club of Chicago is erecting an enormous trestle at the top of their hill at Cary and expects to "et up a s|K*ed of ninety miles per hour on this structure.

The trestle will be «0 feet in heightli, lf>0 feet long and have an in­ cline of 30 degrees. The hill and trestle will measure 7o0 feet from top to bottom.

Last Friday evening the McHenry IH)VS succeeded in defeating the repre­ sentatives of the Woodstock high school in a hotly contested game of basket liall. This was one of the most exciting games that has been played here this season. Both teams started in w ith lhe intention of carrying off the honors, but by the excellent work of the guards and the effective basket throwing the McHenry team suc­ ceeded in putting it over their rivals by the score of 24 to 11. McHenry was the first team to score, this coining by letting the ball into the basket after an attempted free throw. From here on the game ran very close during the first half, which ended w ith the score standing 7 to 12 McHenry's favor. When the whist le blew to start the second half l>oth teams came forth w ith a greater determination to win. but by the fast work of the guards the Mc­ Henry team succeeded in keeping up their end of the bargain. The only thing we regret is that it was necessary lor us to cancel the girls' game oil account of a planned trip to the city by the Woodstock girls. The chief feature of the game was the basket throw ing of Thomas. lie put nine field throws in the baskets, counting a total of eighteen |>oints out of the tweiity-four made by McHenry; he also went, thru the entire contest w ithout having a foul called on him.

Jo««ph Neumann, Joseph Neumann, at one time a resi­ dent of McHenry and Juhnsbugh, but of late years a citizen of Chicago, passed away at his home in the metro- l>olitan city last Saturday. Mr. Neumann has been in poor health for a number of years, but his condi­ tion was not considered serious until a few days before he was called away. Joseph Neumann was born in Gillen- feld, Germany, December 22, 1848, and grew to manhood in that country. He came to America in the spring of the year 1881 and settled in McHenry. His wife followed him to this country a year after his arrival. While a resi­ dent of McHenry he lived in the house now owned and occupied by John Ilerbes. After a short, residence here he moved to Johnsburgh, where he made his home until 188t>, when he moved to Chicago. While a resident of McHenry he was employed by the Chicago Northwestern Railroad Co. in the capacity of a section hand. While thus engaged he broke his leg, after which he quit the ceimpany. At Johnsburgh he was engaged in the manufacture of brooms. After moving to Chicago he became engaged in truck farming and in this business venture was quite successful. He retired from real activity in Chica­ go about three years ago and ever since that time has been living quite comfortably on his life savings. In the hope that his health might be l»enefittt>d he moved to McHenry last spring and passed the entire summer here. His wife preceded him indeath about two years ago. Three children were !»orn to them, all of whom passed away in infancy. His remains wei-e brought to Mc­ Henry on Tuesday morning of this week, the services being conducted from St. Mary's Catholic church at 10:.'J0 o'clock.
