A FEW good men who are willing -to work, can find plenty of jobs and good pay, in this village Just now, making gardens, cleaning lawns, etc. There seams to be a scarcity of help of that id at the present time. THE past ten days has beaten the ^record for storms, both wind and. rain.-- It rained every day last week, and the record is unbroken sd far this week, be­ sides the wind has blown a perfect hurri­ cane at times.

An exchange says that under the new game law, according to the Clinton Her­ ald, book agents may be killed from August 1st to October 1st, spring poets from March 1st to July 1st, scandal mongers January 1st to December 31st inclusive, umbrella borrowers February 1st to May 1st. Open season all the year on life insurance agents. ONE of our brightest exchanges thus infers to a class of people known to be numerous in this locality: "When you want to hear complaints of the manner in which a newspaper is conducted, listen to persons who are not and never have been particularly friendly to the paper. Occasionally a friend will find cause for criticism, but as a rule be will he manly enough and feel interest enough in the paper's welfare to go to the editor in person with his complaint. No paper can be conducted in such a manner as to jriease all. The fact is a sprightly paper cannot take a stand, or utter a single opinion on any question that concerns a few or many but it will be severely criti­ cised. This being tn\e the fair minded ' honest newspaper man usually conducts his paper in such a way as his judgment dictates, says just what he'wants in the manner he wishes and lets whoever thinly they are hit take their medicine." , i " ' , • :, >• Lew Hill, of Wauconda, was on our streets on Monday evening. MASTER K. ELMER WALSH IS visiting with his grandparents, south of this village, this week. FRANK CHAPMAN, oi Chicago, spent Sat­ urday and Sunday, with friends in this village.

Throop, of Nunda, is probably one of the finest bred stallions in this section, and breed­ ers of fine Trotting and Pacing stock should not fail to call at bis stable, in Nunda, and see him. He started in twelve races in 1892, winning eleven, which is a record few horses can boast of. Mr. Tbroop offers to match him against any Pacing or Trottinar Stallion, Mare or Gelding, in McHenrjr County, which is proof that his claims are not all wind. For further particulars of this fine bred stallion watch for the advertisement, which will appear in these columns next week.

ITEMS. rain did considerable EvERY-newspaper that does its duty faithfully and and unfalteringly has enemies--fierce, bitter and unrelenting enemies. Every political trickster who fails to use the paper for the advance ment of his schemes, everyone who at­ tempts unsuccessfully to buy,or bu'ldoze it, hates,it thereafter with a malignant, vituperous hatred, directly proportioned to the fulsome laudation which he would have lavished upon it, had it done his dirty work. We would say that every paper needs its enemies--in fact, every paper with the moral courage, the firm­ ness, honesty and independence it should have, must inevitably make enemies of the class we have alluded to. A paper without such enemies scarcely deserves to have friends. MoHenry Township Sunday School Convention.

Among the hundreds of outside attrac­ tions at Chicago during the World's Fair, probably no one will be more interesting than the great Cyclorama of the Chicago Fire, located on Michigan Avenue and Madison street, almost in the heart of the city. The point of view is the sight of old Fort Dearborn, just opposite the Rush street bridge. From this historic position the observer has before him a thousand acres of red-hot ruins, a thous­ and acres more a surging sea of fire, while close at hand is a section of the city not yet burned,, but catching fire, and here is a scene of the wildest confu­ sion. Men, women, children, with horses, wagons, carriages, push-carts and wheel­ barrows, all in a mad, furious flight for safety. The great Cyclorama which is said to have cost over $250,000 shows in a most A onderful manner Chicago as it was while burning. World's Fair visi­ tors should not fail to see this remarka­ ble exhibition and compare it with the Chicago of to-day. OCEAN TICKETS At lowest rates to and from any part of Europe for the well known.

The terms of their Policies are that claims will be paid 60 days after proof of loss, but this company paid the loss just 10 days after it was reported to them, sending Mr. Flusky a check for the full amount claimed. This promptness is commendable and stamps the Agricultural, of Watertown as one of the most reliable of any doing business in this section.

TO THIS PUBLIC. WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, CHI­ CAGO; March 30, 1893.--To the Public: Because of many misrepresentations and misstatements relative to Exposition management and affairs being in circula tion through the press and otherwise, both in this country and abroad, and in reply to many letters of inquiry or com­ plaint touching the same matters, it seems advisable that some official state­ ment regarding them should be made to the public. Therefore I respectfully ask that the widest publicity be given to the following facts: 1. The Exposition will he opened and ready for visitors May 1. 2. An abundance of drinking water, the beet supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to all. The report that a charge would be made for drinking water probably arose from the fact that hygenia water can also be had by those who may desire it at one cent a glass. 3. Ample provision for seating will be made without charge. 4. About 1,500 toilet rooms and closets will be located at convenient points in the buildings and about the grounds, and they will be absolutely free to the public. This is as large a number in proportion to the estimated attend* ance as has ever been provided in any exposition. In addition to these there will also be nearly an equal number of lavatories and toilet rooms of a costly and handsome character as exhibits, for the use of which a charge of five cents will be made. 5. The admission fee of 50 cents will entitle the visitor to see and enter all tbe Exposition buildings, inspect theexhibits and, in short, to see everything within the Exposition grounds, except the Es­ quimau Village and the reproduction of the Colorado cliff dwellings. For these as well as for the special attractions on Midway Plaisance a small fee will be charged. 1 6. Imposition or extortion of any de­ scription will not be tolerated. 7. Free medical and emergency hospi­ tal service is provided on the grounds by th'e Exposition management. 8. The Bureau of Public Comfort will provide commodious free waiting rooms, including spacious ladies' parlor and toilet ropms in various parts of tbe grounds. H. N. HIGINBOTHAM, President.

There are representatives from several different states and regiments, but principally from Illinois, and the 95th has more members in this Post than any other one regiment.
