THE filling of coal bins this week re­ minds us that the days of the "eager and nipping air" are only a few weeks hence, when pajamas will give way to heavy bisters and tan shoes will be displaced by •togas; when the park seats will be de­ serted and cheering fires will take first place in the affections of the people. The coal market is very unsteady at present, but the early buyer generally avoids the ioeritable advance and gets rid of num­ berless annoyances later on. BORN--On Saturday, August 18th, 1898, co Mr. and Mrs. Howard R. Perry, a son. Lieut. H. R. Perry will be the happiest man in Santiago when this good news reaches him. Saturday will be a day long remembered in Lieut. Perry's family. It was the birthday of his first sdn, the birthday of his father, J. B. Perry, of this village, and also the day on which the protocol uvtncGu the United St&tSo &ud Spain was signed. THE 8urricks, in their magniflosat enter­ tainments of Songs and Travels, will open the season of '98 and '99, at River­ side Hall, in the course of a week or ten days, the date to be announce later. Their program has been augmented and greatly improved since last season, em­ bracing many new features in the wonder­ ful motion pictures. These animated scenes will be given on a scale equal to the finest ever produced in Chicago, while their new features of illustrated military songs will be grand and taking and never before seen in this city. This, entertain­ ment will be a high class production throughout and.will merit a full house. WORHY annually kills more people than, work, for worry fatigues the nerves; but it is useless to tell people of nervous temperaments not to worry. One should strive, however to avoid all things that tend to disturb the nerves. Throw away a pen that scratches and a pencil that has a bit of hard lead in its makeup. Discard a needle that "squeaks," and a basin that leaks. Use sharp tools and wear soft garments. Oil the hinges of the rheumatic door, and fasten the creaking shutters. These things may seem but trifles; but such trifles ir­ ritate the nerves as much as a piece of woolen does a raw sore. SEVERE thunder storms occurred in this section on Sunday and Monday nights, and considerable damage by lightning is reported in the country. On Sunday night lightning struck a tree near the residence of W. A. Baylor, south-west of this village, passing down into a poultry house killing a dozen or fifteen chickens. An oat stack on the farm of Richard Thompson was struck by lightning an<| burned, besides hay stacks, fences and trees being blown around in a promiscuous manner. On Monday night two horses are reported killed on the farm occupied by John Malsdore, east of this village, and from illuminations seen in the sky north of here, we shall expect to hear of some serious conflagration. The rain canie down in torrents and the thunder was terrific. Taken all in all Monday night was' a wild one to be abroad. the Catholic TH* OBBKAW fMIIVAL The Festival, which was held by Congregation oi the German Church of this village, at River Park, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday lasff was well attended, and notwithstanding the severe storm of Monday evening, was. a decided success in every particular and netted a bandsome sum for the benefit of the church. Large delegations were present from Chicago, Elgin, Buffalo Grove, and other places from a distance, while nearly every town in McHenry County had representatives on the grounds at least one day of the Festival. These annual festivals are being looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure by those who participate and the man­ agers leave nothing undone to carry out the programmeasadvertised. A Chicago brass band farnished music for the oc­ casion. The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new charch drew out one of the largest crowds we have seen in this village for a long time, and those who were so fortunate to get near enough to see and hear pronounce it of the most interesting character. It was partici­ pated in by Rev. Fathers sent here by the Archbishop from Chicago, Rev- Father O'Neil, of this village, Rev. Father Rhoda. of Fremont, aad others, besides the resident Pastor, Rev. Father Kirech. After the conclusion of the oermouies at the Church the large crowd adjourned to the Park, but on aocoant of the threatening weather broke up early, but not before many of them got a severe drenching from the down pouring raini that-set in early in the evening. We have not leaified the exact receipts of the Festival. > i." . How About the Biesih. It may not be generally known that garlic is an aid to the . production of lovely complexions. It iB to a steady diet, says an exchange, of this plant and to the damp air of the wash tubs that the pretty washerwomen of Paris, one of -hem is ssassily chosen queen of beauty for Marki Gras, owe their fascinating complexion. Garlic may make a lovely complexion all right, but how about the breath? _____________________ Matchless flour--every eaok ffoaran tssd, at Oww *Chape's, ACCIDENTALLY S&OWMSB. A son of Herman Krenz, of Chicago, aged about five years, who with his mother, was visiting with Mrs. Krenz's father, H. Hoepe, on the east side of the river, was accidentally drowned on Tues­ day evening. It appears the little fellow was playing around the house after sup­ per, and being missed search was made when his body was found in the river, opposite M. Tislow'e landing. Dr. Wells was sent for and everything done that could be to resuscitate him. but it was too late. He probably had been out of sight longer than it WAS thought before search was made, and just how the accident happened will never be known, as he was entirely alone at the time, and whether he fell in above and floated down to where he was found, or fell in at that place is not known. He was a bright, active little fellow, and his sudden death has cast a gloom over all, His fond parents have the sympathy of this entire community in their sudden bereavement. His remains were taken to Chicago for interment on the 3:27 train this Wednes­ day afternoon. OBITUARY. DIED--At her home, near Volo, August 9 th, 1898, Mrs. James Do well, aged 62 years, four months and 22 days. MRS. JAMES DOWELL, (uee Sarah Dun nill.) was born in Easingnold, York­ shire, England, March 17th, 1836. She was married to James Dowell in 1855 and came to America in 1856. She leaves to mourn her loss six sons and two daughters, two Bisters, two brothers and seven grand children. Oue sister, her children and grand children were >reeeut at her funeral, in coming to America they first stopped two years at Pittsburgh. Pa., and then moved to Lake county, where they hav,e resided ever since. Ten years ago last March her husband died and she was left alone to care for her children. Her oldest son, James, died two yeais ago. Her young­ est brother, Frank, died fourteen years ago. She was a member of the English charch. She was taken sick in March last, and despite all that the best medi­ cal skill could do gradually failed, until finally death came as a relief from her great sufferings. She was a woman highly honored and respected by neigh­ bors and friends. Her funeral was held from the horns of her Bon on Friday, August 12th, ftsV. J. Straub, pastor of the Universalist Church of McHenry, officiating. The Shoot at Woodstook. The Woodstock Gun Clab held an all- day shoot in that city on Wednesday of last week. L. H. Owen, of this village, made the highest record of the day, breaking . 25 targets straight. There were seven contestants in this shoot The scores of his competitors being as follows: Shatter, 22; Dunnell and Gra­ ham, 20 each; Vance, 19; Lumley, 18; Barnes, 17. The live bird shoot resulted in an easy victory for Owen. There were seven birds and he bagged every one of his. The balance of the score was as follows: Vance, 6; Courtney and Shatter, 5 each Barnes, Griebel and Erickson, 4 each Kirk. Lumley and F. C. Goodwin, 3 each. The County Championship shoot was won by Barnes, Owen a close second The shoot was at 25 targets and there were seven competitors. Barnes scored 23; Owen, 22; Lumley, 21; Hendrickson 21; Marble, 21; JohnBon, 20; Roderick, 19; Smiley, 13. In this shoot Owen was at a disadvantage, having taken part in every shoot during the day, and when this one came on was suffering with severe headache. We predict should Owen and the champion ever come to­ gether in a single shoot for the champion­ ship, Brother Barnes will have to look out for his laurels. The record made by Owen on this occasion is one of which he has a right to feel proud. Sulphur Does the Work. A farmer writes: "Every year* I hear of caterpillars destroying whole orch ards. There iB nothing so easy to dis­ pose of. 1 bore a hole in the trees deep enpugh to reach the sap, fill it with sul "phur and plug it up. The sap takes the sulphur to every twig and the caterpillars disappear immediately. I have never known a tree to be injured by it--have used it for years."

Secretary Wright Outline* a Portion of the Or eat Programme, Among the many new attractions ftt the Fair, for the first time presented be­ fore the people of McHenry county, noth- ina will be more appreciated than the singing by the Omer Quartette Conoert Company, of Elgin. They will render their beautiful songs during llhe military services, about noon, and in the grand stand during the speed trials. Another feature of the great programme will be the day fireworks, on Wednesday, (Children's Day) and Friday, (Fraternal Day). The fireworks are thrown from large shells similar to those used in the army, from a large mortar, bursting at a great height, scattering thousands of animals for the masses to pick up for the occasion. The matched game of base ball, be­ tween the Marengos and Algonqains, on Friday, will be a rich treat for those in­ terested in the game. You will notice in this paper schedules of games given for Children's Day. Those interested should send for entry blanks. We feel confident the Fair programme will please you this year. A great amount of hard work has been given to the many little things which go towards making the Fair a very interesting place to visit The programme selected is new and plenty of it to keep you busy during the day to follow it. ' We have secured a special train, which will leaye Elgin the mornings of Thurs­ day and Friday at 9 o'clock and return from Woodstock ^at 7 p. M. This will give those living in the beautiful Fox river valley a splendid opportunity to taking in the Fair and reaching home in good season. With nine races in the speed pro­ gramme, besides the farmers' races and the programme as stated above, you will admit the day will not be any too long to present it. IWd want you to eome to the Fair. The war has been settled; we now have a larger country. You are interested in its succees, wad you will shOw it by attend­ ing the great McHenry County Fair. A. S.
