Figure it out and see if the result does not surprise you. There are ninety-four squares on a checker board. By placing one grain of corn on the first square, and continu­ ously doubling the number on each suc­ cessive square, how many grains would you have on the last square, and how many on the whole board? THEBE will be a social at the" home of Mr. and Mrs. Nogle, on the Henry Mead farm, on Thursday evening of this week_. Feb, 8th, given under the auspices of the Epworth League. An interesting pro­ gram is being prepared, and a general good time may be expected. Eyeryone is cordially invited to attend. Arrange­ ments will be made for carrying all those wishing to go. Meet at the residence of Mr. L Went worth at 7:30 prompt. DON'T say "dapo" for "depot," or "program" for "program," and kill the first person who tells you it is correct, says an .exchange, which believes in good Euglish. Tbeold fashioned "programme" Was too long for this fast age, and by unanimous consent the last two letters were dropped off. This is the only authorized change in the word and does not affect its pronunciation. As to "dapo" it is % bit of vulgarity which mot longer be endured. THE McBenry County Trotting Hone Breeders Association held their annual meeting in this place last Saturday after­ noon, re-electing the old board of officers as follows: President, E. S.

SMITH iound a $10 gold pieoe in the street; he gave it to Brown to settle a meat bill. Brown gave it to Jones to pay a grocery account; Jones gave it to Baker to pay for some lumber; Baker returned it to Smith in settlement of a note: Smith took it to the bank to de­ posits it, and the cashier threw it out as a counterfeit. Were either or all of those debts paid? THE Illinois World's Fair commission­ ers sold their building recently on a sealed bid to M. C. Sloan &Co. for $1,650 This Bum is $1,000 more than was offered a week ago. It is understood that the purchasers will take the princi­ pal part of the material to South Chica­ go, where it will be used in the construc­ tion of houses under contract for erection by a syndicate. HEBE is what' Henry Ward Beecher once said of dancing, and his head ap­ pears to have been about level according to the reasoning of many. "It is wicked when it is wicked, and i^is not wicked when it is not wicked. In itself it has no more character than walking, wrestling or rowing. Bad company, untimely hours, evil dances, may make the exer­ cise evil; good company and wholesome hours may make it a great benefit." This may be applied "loca!ly"-like some patent medicines--with good effect. THE Chicago later Ocean has just made an announcement which for liber­ ality is not likely to be duplicated soon. This offer makes it possible for every one to begin now and secure the entire series of that wonderful set of World's Fair pictures everybody is talking about, and this without the Coupon Certificate, here­ tofore used. A new subscriber has to pay no mors than a regular reader and besides gets them nearly all at ono«. However there is too much detail to ex­ plain here, but the system is cer||ijj|y a good OM for nsw subscriber*. M*#: • The second Lecture of the course will be given at the City Had, on Friday evening of this week," Feb. 9th, by the Rev. C. H. Fraser. Subject, "America and Americans." Few men on the ros­ trum are more highly recommended than Rev. Fraser, and anyone who hears him will admit that what we say is lame. Wm, H. Seaman, United States Judge, says of him: 1 have frequently heard Bev. Charles H. Fraser, in the pulpit and on the plat­ form, and am confident of great success for him in the general lecture field. He is eloquent and earnest, with breadth of view, power of analysis and gift of ex­ pression which make him and his subject interesting. Audiences will find instruc­ tion with entertainment, and I think will not rest with single hearings. Remember this lecture is to be at the (Sty Hall on Friday Evening of this week. If you fail to attend you will miss one of the richest literary treats ^ the mason. THE Masquerade Parties in this village on Monday night were both welt attend ed and all report a pleasant time. At the Riverside one hundred couples are reported and at the McHenry House about eigty-five. Every thing passed off in the most quiet and orderly manner at both^places. REV. J. STRABB, ot Hoopston, 111., will deliver a lecture, under the auspices of the Universalist church, at the City Hall, Saturday evening of next week, Feb. 17. Subject, "The Drama of Nations." Rev Straub is an able and interesting speak­ er, and his subject is one that cannot fail to interest all, both old and young, and should fill the house to overflowing on this occasion. We shall notice this lecture further next week. Business Locals. S * * * * * ' As will be seen by an advertisement in another column J. D. Lodtz Jr. has opened a Merchant Tailoring establish­ ment, in Pekovsky Block, two doors south of the Post Office, where he is pre­ pared, with a full line of Foreign and Domestic goods, to furnish you with a single garment or a full suit, made up in city style, guarantee a fit and at the lowest living prices. He comes highly recommended as a first class workman and we bespeak for him a liberal share of public patronage. Read his advertise­ ment elsewhere in this paper. THE editor of a paper out west is now hiding in consequence of, the way he mixed up reports of a cattle show and a concert. His paper said: "The concert given by sixteen of Storm Lake's most beautiful young ladies was highly appre­ ciated. They sang in a most charming manner, winning the plaudits of the entire audience, who pronounced them the finest breed shorthorns in the coun­ try. A few are of a rich brown color, but the majority are spotted brown and white. Several of the heifers are able bodied, fine-limbed animals, and prom­ ise to prove good property." "MY wife and I," says a traveling man, "were once in a hotel where we could not get any boiling water. After we had discussed the situation my wife asked me if I had an envelope in my satchel. I got one out, when she told me to fill it with water and hold it over the gas jet. I hesitated but finally did it, and expected to see the envelope blaze. The envelope took on a little soot, but that was all. The water boiled in time, and the envelope was as good as ever when the experiment was at an end. I don't know the chemistry of the process, but try it yourself and see if it w ill not work." IWdiy evening aad Saturday, Feb. letli and 17th 1894. The following is the program: , )•.

At what place has not as yet been decided, but will be noted in these columns next w< IN Illinois it is no longer allowable for a man driving along the public highway to indulge himself in the delightful sensa­ tion of playing the "dog in the manger" by refusing to permit a team following to pass him. According to a recent de­ cision of the court a man who wants to go faster than his neighbor who is ahead of him on the road has a right to pass. If he is prevented by the other man and an accident happens because of the latter's interference the obstructionist is responsible for the damage. No man in the eyes of the law has a right tojinfringe on the rights of his neighbor or to check the latter in passing. Now the man be­ hind has a right to get out of the dust raised by the slow team in front of him. SPECIAL NOTICE.

Best Wax Candles at 12 cents per l>ound on Friday, Feb. 2, at Perry A Owen's. , irtUffibt be called a little fraud, as it is of too great value and is not to blame for being misused. Tick's New Branching Aster when cut resembles a chrysanthemum so closely that only experts can tell the- difference, and as it comes into flower six weeks be­ fore the "mums," and at a time when flowers are scarce, it is a great tempta­ tion to the florist to sell them for mums." The Branching Aster can be easily grown out doors, and the seeds cost only 25 cents per packet, so that every person who has a foot of ground can enjoy a treat for almost nothing. If you want honest goods send 10 cents to James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y., for Floral Guide, it costs nothing, as the 10 cents may be deducted from the, first order. NIMH DA.
