CHILDREN'S DAY» or Rose Sunday, will be observed at the Universalist Church on Sunday morning next, at the usual hour of services. Singing, reading and recitations by the children of the Sunday School and other interesting exercises may be expected. All are cordially in- vited. • . . * CHICAGO is the greatest railroad center in the United States, and probably in the world. Sixty miles of passenger trains arrive and depart daily with 100,. 000 passengers. There are 1,130 pas­ senger trains arriving at and leaving Chicago every day except Sunday. THE latest slot device is a bicycle on which you can ride five miles, for five cents. You cannot cheat the machine, for when the five miles are covered you must drop another nickel in the slot. •If you don't the bike will buck like a broncho and it throws the rider. STRANGE freaks of the cyclone are re­ ported. In southern Lee county five strands of barb wire were taken from eighty rods of fence and the posts were undisturbed. A thousand pound safe was carried out in the field a few rods be­ yond all the debris, and on its top a let­ ter-press remained undisturbed. IT seems that Bicycle riders must haye forgotten that there is an ordinance in this village that requires them to have a light after dark. But suqh is the fact and the penalty for not '.doing so is severe. We hear of several narrow escapes from being run down by the violators of this ordinance. "Let your light shine" or the marshal will "light" on you when you least expect it. AGAIN complaints are heard of flowers a'jd plants being taken from the Ceme­ teries. We learn that large and valuable plants have been deliberately dug up from lots in the German Cemetery and carried away. As we have said before, there is no language adequate to express our contempt for any one, man, woman or child, that will commit such an act. But it seems as though it will be abso­ lutely necessary to catch and punish one of these vandals before it will cease. We hope this may soon be done. I t OUR Public School will close for the year on Friday of this week, with com­ mencement exercises at Riverside, Hall. The year has been a very successful one and highly satisfactory to both pupils and patrons, ana tnat tne t>oaru oi Education are pleased with the work done is evidenced by the fact that the full corps of teachers have been re­ engaged for the cpmint? year. There are four graduates this year, viz: Ethel M. Smith, Ida A. Wilson, Eleanor A. McGoe, Jacob Bues. The programme of the commencement exercises can be found in another column COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES- The friends and patrons of the Mc­ Henry Public Schools are cordially in­ vited to be present at their Commence­ ment Exercises, tc take place at Riverside Hall, Friday evening, June 10th.

On the bottle is the inscription: "Sfiake before tafci&g," and we guess it will be shaken. THE front of Owen & Chapell's store has been receiving a new coat of paint, the past week, and when completed will present a very handsome appearance. G. S. Curtis is doing the work. WE are experiencing some very hot weather in this section at the present time, the thermometer ranging from 80 to 85 degrees in the shade, and in some places it is reported up to 90 degrees. < WE learn that Ged Gould, of Lake County, who lately moved to Arkansas, died there last month, and that his wife is also lying at the point of death. Mr, Gould is a brother of Mrs. David Parker, of this village. REMEMBER the auction sale of house­ hold furniture at the residenceof Mrs. W. J.

For the past two years no town in this part of the State has had a better celebration than McHenry, and there is no good reason why we should not have equally as good a one this year. The honor of getting it up this year belongs to the West Side and we hear it is now being talked up by the business men of that side. AT SPRING GROVE. Come and see the Old Maids made over at the M. E. Church, Spring Grove, Saturday evening, June 11th, under the auspices of the Young Peoples' Christian Union, of McHenry. Prof. Makeover will be present with his remodelscope. This is one of the most modern entertain­ ments yet produced, and no ong should fail to see it. Admission, 10 and 20 cents. Doors open at 7, Old Maids will appear at 8. Per order of RACHAEL REBECCA SHORT. Independence Party. There will be an Independence Party, under the auspices of Valley Camp, No. 97, M. W. A., at Stoffel's Hall, on Mon­ day evening, July 4th. Noonan's Superb Orchestra will furnish the music, and nothing will be left undone by the management to make this equal to any Party ever held in this village. The success of former Parties gotton up by this Society is a sufficient guarantee to the dancing public that they will make no mistake by attending the Party at Stoffel's Hall on the coming Fourth Bills and invitations will be issued in a few days.__ OPENING- PARTY. * There will be a Grand Opening Party at Stilling's New Hall, Pistaqua Bay, on Wednesday evening of next week, June 15th. Music by Will Noonan's orchestra. Tickets, 50 cents. Refresh­ ments of all kinds will be served at reasonable rates. The new hall just completed at this popular summer resort is 30x60, finished in first class style, and is one of the best halls in this part of the country. Remember the date, June 15th, and you will be sure of a good social time if you attend, as mine host Stilling will leave nothing undone for the comfort and pleasure of his guests. LAST Week the dates for the Graduat­ ing and Promotion Exercises at the Public School, were changed by the Principal on account of not being able to get the Hall aB first advertised, and in our hurry we inadvertently omitted to change the figures in the Graduating Exercises notice. It was an aggravating error to us but we have no one to blame but ourself.; The date for the Promotion Exercises are this Wednesday evening, June 8th., at Stoffel's Hall. The Gradu ating Exercises will be held at Riverside .Hall. The Programme for the Graduat ing Exercises can be found in another column. That for the Promotion Fxer cieea was published correctly last week.

Admission, 15 and 20 cents. The Concert Friday Evening. Fox LAKE, J une 4,1898. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--I was pur- suaded to attend the concert at City Hall Alclienry, Friday evening, and, somewhat against my will, 1 went, but was disap­ pointed. That concert would do credit and be received as first class by a Chicago or Boston audience. Mrs. Sur- rick and Mrs. Walsh sang as fine a duet and rendered with as much exquisite taste as any I ever have listened to, while "I love to fly" by Mrs. Surrick was revelation. Mrs. Gallaher and Mr. Pilcher show a high degree of culture, coupled with wonderful talent. Miss Lena Smith's rendition of "The Sweetest- Little Girl I Know" shows her to be a yonng artist of much promise and vocal power. Prof. Scott and wife we have listened to more than twenty-five yearp ago, and age only seems to. improve them. Mr. Thos. Walsh has a very dip- tinct enunciation, and his duets with Prof. Scott were highly appreciated by the audience. The selections by the younger members of the company were marvels of perfec­ tion, and uot a break of any kind marred the beauty of t^eir singing and acting. They must have received the best of training by Mrs. Surrick and Prof. Scott. The crowning of Queen Laila could not have been excelled. -"The nobility of labor" and the "Piggy Marines" under Uncle Sam elicited rounds of the heart­ iest applause, and almost every piece received an onchore by the large and ap­ preciative audience. The Dancing maiden and the recitation "Decoration Day" also deserve special mention, and last, but not least, the tableaux "Cuba sup- plient at the feet of Columbia" was a fine conception and carried out perfectly. AUDITOR. THERE will be a sub-district Camp Meeting held in Wheeler's Grove, east of McHenry, beginning June 26 and closing July 3rd. Dr. Vanhorne, of Rockford, secretary of Domestic Missionery Society and former Presiding Elder of this dis trict, will be with us and will preach at least once* a day. Revs. Lock, of Nunda, Dutton, of Wauconda, Riggs, of Elgin, Cockrill, of Greenwood, and Dr. Hardin, of this district, will take part in the work. We also expect to add some other names in a few days to the list. Every one is invited to come and take part and enjoy the meeting. J. R. CLARK. The Scott Eamily Concert. Those who had the good fortune to be at the City Hall on Friday evening of last week enjoyed a rare treat. The brief time Prof. Scott had to drill the children and young people did not to most of us seem sufficient to accomplish much in the way of the entertainment that could otherwise be expected, but the result showed what a master can do in a short time. There was not a hitch nor a break in a somewhat intricate and quite diffi cult programme, and the music, as well by the class as by the Scott family, was charming. Notwithstanding the heat of the day and evening the hall was filled and the receipts left ajiandsome dividend to the Scott family and the committee. PERSONAL. MRS. E. M.

There are queer Bigns displayed in every city which find their way into print, and Grand Rapids has its share, but the palm is yielded to the following which has drifted in from the far east: "Mrs. Marshall, an indigent widow, went into the laundry business on a small scale.

I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being commend ed to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, know­ ing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratify­ ing results. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has ab­ solutely cured me. 1 have not had as good health for twenty years. Re­ spectfully, Mrs. Mary A. Beard, Clare- more, Ark.
