Doxology and Benediction. SOME people seem to lie in ambush waiting for an editor to say something that they can tie a grievance to. These people are usually those who are always looking for favorable mention in the paper, and who absorb compliments like water is absorbed by a mudhole. Aud with about the same response. When something appears that is not exactly in their line of thinking, they either ruffle up their bristles and spit like a mad cat, or button up their d'gnity and become as chilly as the north end of a south wind. THE U..& N. W. railroad company hai issued a daintily gotten up lit Lie bookie entitled, "A Yuletide Bird of passage.'

The grand finale shows how the North Western railroad by its overland limited which makes the run from Chicago to San Francisco in three days united two loving hearts at Christ­ mas time.

On Saturday evening his entire family of eight children were at home, and they all sat up until nearly twelve o'clock visit-, ipg. After the young folks had retired Mr. Cens said to his wife that he felt very bad and she advised him to lie down and be quiet for a little while and he would feel better. He did so but after a few minutes turned over, attempted to get up, called his wife by name and fell batik and after a few gasps was dead. It was a sad blow, and the grief-stricken family could hardly realize that he who but a few moments before was pleasant­ ly vsiting with them was now no more., NICHOLASCENS was born in Germany in 1842. He came to this country in 1872, stopping in Chicago where he worked at his trade of Brewer. The latter part of the same year he came to McHenry and worked for King, Schreiner & Bentfield, in the McHenry Brewery. He was mar­ ried in 1873 to Miss Anna Englen, who, with eight children survive hsm. He was an old soldier and served with distinction in the wars of '66 and '71 in his country, serving in the German army about seven years. He was an honest, straightforward, upright man and a good citizen,honored aud respected by all who knew him, and his bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of this entire community in their sudden and unexpected bereave­ ment. The funeral was held from St. Mary's church, in this village, at 10 o'clock A M on Tuesday and his remains laid at rest in the German Cemetery. THE arrangements fv.r the Washington Birthday Party, which is to be given, at Stoffel's Hall, on Monday evening, Feb. 21st, under the auspices of Court No. 746, Catholic Order of Foresters, are progressing favorably and promises to be one of the most pleasant and enjoy­ able gatherings of the season. The com­ mittee who have the matter in charge are leaving nothing undone- that will tend to its success, and the dancing public can rest assured of a good time. The same Orchestra, from Chicago, that furnished music for the Lady Foresters, in November, has been engaged, and will be here with one more piece than on that occasion. This is pronounced one of the best in Chicago and all who heard them on the former occasion wiii be pleased to know that they will be here on the 21st. Remember the date, Feb. 21st and make your arrangements to attend. SIMON STOFFEL, the indefatigable In­ surance Agent, has been zealously labor­ ing with his companies the past month to get the insurance rates cut down, bu' owing to the fact that our Water Works are still unaccepted by the Board and that as yet we have no organized Fire Department, he has not succeeded in making such a reduction as he had hoped to. However, as good things come slow we have only to wait. We have faith to believe that as soon as the Water Worke are accepted and a Fire Department properly organized, the Insurance Com­ panies will see the justice of giving the citizens of this village a rate of Insurance that will be satisfactory to all. That Mr. Stoffel will do his part to bring this much desired matter about no one doubts who knows him. He is a man who not only looks after the interest of the companies he represents, but of his patrons as well, and as we said before we believe this matter will be satisfactorily arranged in a short time. / A DISASTROUS FIBE. > On Friday morning last the large barn Mrs. Barbara Smith, who lives about tnile and a half from this village, on the Johnsburgh road, was destroyed by fire, together with six horses, a large quantity of hay, grain and farming tools. The cause of the fire is unknown. They had been to the barn doing their chores, at the usual hour. About 8:30 o'clock, while in the house the barn was discovered to be on fire. They worked heroically to get out the stock, but only succeeded in saving the cows, six fine horses perishing in the flames. The farm was worked by Stephen H. Smith and the loss of all hay, grain and corn- fodder at this time of year is a serious matter. The barn which was worth full $1000, was insured for $483 in a Mutual Company, of Johnsburgh. The personal property was insured in the Phenix of, Brooklyn, and the full amount was promptly paid in cash on Tuesday, by their Agpnt, Simon Stoffel- """Ben Stilling Took the Honors. The Elgin Gun Club had eleven con­ tests on New Year's day. There were twenty-two contestants, and some ex­ cellent scores were made.

They were met in front of a bank of palms by the groom, his best man, W. E. D. Todson and the Rev. A. N. Alcofct. The cereimony was exceptionally impressive, the •'Angels' Serenade," by Miss Evans and Mr. Hunter adding much to its sweetness. Tbe brdes' gown was of white embroid­ ered moueselirie de sole over white taffeta silk. She carried liliies of the valley. The maid of honor wore white silk mull over Nile green" taffeta silk. Miss Ger­ trude Kee's gdwn was white organdie over pink silk, with pink satin ribbon" sash and stock.

The ceillings were tastily festooned with evergreen ropes, while the windows and doors were wreathed in the same. The presents were many and beautiful., Schramm served th« supper. Mr. and Mrs. Getzelman are among vElgin's most estimable young people. The groom has for years held with credit a position in the Elgin National Bank.

MBDEB AT ALGONQUIN A most foul and cruel mtirder was i;ommi;ted in the village of Algonquin on Tuesday morning which, for fiendish- >ies| and brutality is seldom equalled. A VIrs. Wollert, shoots and afterwards strang'es her step-daughter, and then, after setting fire to the house, gives the alarm and asserts the deed was done by a tramp. A hunt was made and several auspicious characters arrested, but at about 4:30 in the afternoon the woman confessed to Detective Benthnsen, States Attorney, Lumley and Dr. Nason that she herself had committed the deed. It was with difficulty that a lynching was prevented, so incensed were the citizens at the horrid crime, and she was hurried away to the Oounty Jail, where fehe is now confined. The details of the terrible butchery are too horrid for recital, even" tiad we the time and space to give them. To those who desire to read them they jan "be found .in full in the morning papers. The murdered girl was a sister of Mrs. Jacob Bickler, of this village. Business i -cala. Latest novelties .in Owen & Chapell's. Dre«: "ocds at Besley's Fig Syrup, the market.
