IPREMIUM Lists of the McHenry County /Fair caq be had at the Drag Stores of 0. W. Besley and Miss J. A. Story, in this fWage. Call and net one. THE Willing Workeft^ Society, con­ nected with the Universalist Church, at their meetiDg held on Ihureday last, voted to take a vacation, antil September. LOST--A pair of Gold Bowed Spec­ tacles. The tinder will be suitably re­ warded by returning the same to Rev. P. M. O'Neil, or leaving them at this office. THERE will be an Ice Cream Festival on the Lawn of Chas. Page, on Friday evening of this week. Let everybody tarn out and enjoy a good social evening. En*"* THE McHenry Base Ball Cli^> crossed bats with the Woodstock Nine the first of the week, and done them up to the time of 13 to 10. This is victory number two for McHenry. ' JAMES A. ROSE, Secretary of State, will please except our thanks for a neat and convenient copy of the Fish and Game Laws of the state of Illinois, just ffceived. • ON account of the rain storm the Ice Cream Festival by the Y. P. C. U., which was to have been held in the Park on Friday evening last, was indetnitely postponed. THE George Smith house, now occupied bf G. W. Besley, is receiving a coat of paint on the outside and will otherwise receive needed repairs. George Curtis is doing the Painting. THE Universalist Sunday School and Ike Y. P. C. U. connected with that church are each taking their annual va­ cation, and will not convene again until *boat September first. »to the Prist*!* are their love of (at takes. THE Bennett Comedy Company are billed for two entertainments, to-nigbt and to-morrow night, in their tent in West McHenry, which Is pitched on the grounds in tbe rear of the Mrs. John L Howe residence, on Waufcegau street. THE ladies of the W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. H. McOmber, Wednesday afternoon, of this week, Aug. 3rd, at 2:30 o'clock. All are cordially invited. MRS. J. R. CLARK, PICA. T. J. WALSH; Secretary. THE members of the Republican Co. Central Com. met at Woodstock on Monday, and elected their officers for the coming two years. L. T. Hoy, of Wood­ stock. was reelected Chairman and H. C, Mead, of West McHenry, Secretary. Hie Executive Committee consists of R. J. Beck, W. E. Wire, Chas. Wandrack, Chas. Scofield and E. W. Diets. THE Marengo Republican describes a large round barn erected by Robert Wil- lard in the North wee tern part of the township at an expense of $2,500. It is 80 feet <n diameter with 33-fcot posts. It has storage for 200 tons of hay, for grain and farm machinery and stable room in the basement story for 64 head of cattle and 11 horses. The basement has a cement floor throughout. The barn is planned to economize time. PARTICULAR attention iB called to £he advertisement of the McHenry County Fair this week. The Special Premiums offered by McHenry business men are numerous and liberal, and proves that our citizens take a lively interest in its success. Let everyone not only attend the Fair but also make a showing in one or more Departments. Remember it is about three weeks before the Fair. Commence to get ready now. Home Dramatic Entertainment. We understand there is to be a Dra­ matic Entertainment at Stoffel's Hall, during tbe latter part «f ibis month, given entirely by home talent. McHenry has some as good talent in this line as can be found in the county, and we pre­ dict a rich treat for all lovers of the play. The exact date and a synopsis of the play will be given in these columns in due time. R THE West Side Bus Line, "GritFoltz" Proprietor, is a new institution lately started. He connects with all trains to and from the east side of Pistaqua Bay, and starts out with a paying patronage. THB work of repairing the bridge in thi« village, damaged by the storm that carried away the dam, is progressing favorably, and it will not be long before passage through our village will be more convenient. Peter J. Freund is superin­ tending the work. IN addressing letters or other nail matter to soldiers in camp or in the field, always put on "To follow the re­ giment," in plain letters. Remember this important suggestion. The post office department asks the press to give this notice an insertion or two: Friends and relatives of soldiers in the field, in addressing letters to them, should mark plainly the company and regiment to which they belong, as by so doing the distribution of the mail will be facili­ tated. This applies to both the regulf r troops and the militia volunteers. AN exchange says: "A neighboring man read the other day about the trouble the government was experiencing 1q collecting a fleet of rams for the navy, and immediately wrote to the govern­ ment that he had one. He said it was a species of warfare new to him, as he never before heard of she»>p being used in battle. He also expressed doubt as to the availability of his ram to be a sea- fighter, but on land he guarranteed tbe animal to boost a Spaniard from Ha­ vana to kingdom come." THE Chicago Long Distance Tele­ phone Company have been putting Phones into several of the business places in this village the past week. The Central office, which is located at Owen & Chapell's store, has a handsome new Switch Board, and everything connected with this company is up in first class order. This Company now controls the line from here to Pistaqua Bay, which we understand they intend to extend to Fox Lake. Local Phones have already been put in by the Riverside, House, Dr. C. H. Fegers, Owen & Cbapell, John Evanson and Harry Wighman, and more are being talked of. THE following we clip from the Lake Geneva Herald of last week: "The deed has been fiited by which H. B. Tyrrell has transferred his splendid property on the corner of Geneva and Warren streets, to Mrs. E. H. Walker, of McHenry, 111. The large new house and well located lots are doubtless ^ worth the price re­ ceived, but it speaks well for this city when such a place*will command $6,000 virs. Walker will move into her new home next spring. This sale does not necessarily mean that Mr. Tyrrell will leave Lake Geneva and we trust it may not provs so. The "Colby" stores are in good hands and deserve all their patronage." As the game season draws nearer hunters are beginning to worry over the game laws. The law that changed the season from August 1 to Septemiier 15 was passed five or six years ago, and has not been changed since, although a new bill will be presented at the next session of the legislature. The law that was passed made prairie chicken shooting unlawful until September 1, but by an error on the part of some clerk, the manuscript read September 15, and was thus signed by the Governor. Since that time considerable talk has arisen as to whether the law could not be broken, but is has not been changed. If hunters will remember this they will, perhaps, save themselves some difficulty with game wardens. A Reunion of Ooaaina. Amos D. Whiting celebrated his 74th natal anniversary, Wednesday, July 27, 1898, by inviting all his nephews and nieces, together with their respective families, to meet his daughter, Bell, and her husband, who are here on a few weeks' visit from their home in Belleville, 111.

Blake, whose home was in Chicago, but who for the past six weeks had been working at Woodstock, was drowned while in bath­ ing at McCollum's Lake, on Sunday last. He was a mason by trade, and as we said before, had been working at Woodstock, and on Sunday came over with a friend to spend the day at the lake.- Both were in the lake bathing and both had started for the shore, and soon after his compan­ ion, who was ahead, heard Blake call for help, but before he cou|d rescue him he drowned. Whether it was cramps or that he was exhausted from his long swim is not known. Coroner Wernham was sent for, who summoned a jury, who after hearing the testimony, brought in a verdict of accidental drowning. Undertaker N. J. Justen took charge of the remains and delivered them to friends at Woodstock. Blake was a man about 35 years old and we understand leaves a wife and six children in Chicago, in destitute circum­ stances. ^ CHILDREN NEEDING HOMES. The Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society has a pair of beautiful twin girls seven years old, bright and interesting. A Christian home is wanted for these two children where th«y negd not* be separated. The Society has ten babies for whom' homes are wanted besides several older children.. Applicants will please call at tbe office of the Society or address the superintendent, Mr. Hastings H. Hart Room 86, Monroe Street, Chicago. [Tor the Plaindealer.] Easy now. Your watchword may be excelsior, but with the temperature at 90 don't fret ani sweat to reach the apex, although the magnificient view from Howard's Hostilery doubly repays the connoisseur for all the elevating influ­ ences he is compelled to put forth to reach this blissful, peaceful haven. Even a blind man may appreciate this. AndO, say, Ed, keep those three darkey musi­ cians. Their music is soothing, and their rendition so unobtrusive though one has no natural eyes, with such harmonic strains playing upon his senses he can plainly see the beauty of the landscape before him, and at his feet with scores of boats dotting its surface are the limped, unruffled waters of Fox Lake, with water lilies, wild rice and the rich, dark verdent foliage of oak, hickory, walnut and willows shutting out old Sol's fierce brilliancy, and then the happy mingling with all these of the guests' voices. Old guest's voices, young guest's voices, baby guest's voices in family groups or promenading companies. Four score recreation seeking guests exstatically enjoyed these rare pleasures on Friday and Saturday, July 29 and 30, at How­ ard's. How do I know how many there were, why I counted them of course, while Mrs. S. and Mabel were listening to the delightful music. Three whistles and we embark with Capt. Baniy, whom our experience assures UB will bring us safely and expeditiously to Old McHenry, and who can do this' up more satisfactorily than Capt. Hanly, and where is there a town that one fcsls more at houi^ia than Old Reliable McHenry. As we disembark from Capt. Hanly's boat we feel if we do not sing "Home Sweet Home, then is no Place like Home." B. D. SCOTT. Fox Lake, July 30,1898. MONEY TO LOAN. : ; Seven Hundred Dollars to Loan on good security.
