A CIRCULAR, announcing the issue at an early day of a small book entitled, •'The Story of Hell, and How to Get There," by "That Englishman," has found its way to our desk. The title is startling encugh and if it has no other recommendation should pell well. 3ut we have no use for the book, as the in­ formation it contains is useless to us, for, as any man who has had any ex­ perience in the newspaper business can testify, the road is too Dlsinly visible. MRS E. W. HOWE will move her Milli nery and Dress-Making establishment this week into the rooms over T. J. Walsh's warehouse; which have been handsomely fitted np for the same. A new outside stairway has been built on tha north side, which makes the rooms nvenient to get to. f ON Wednesday of last week the fast /train that passes this station at 8:25 A. M , going south, ran into a milk wagon at Arlington Heights, throwing the horoes and driver in a promiscuous heap in the ditch, but fortunately without serious injury to either. The wagon was Bmash^d into kindling wood. This is one of the many accidents caused by attempting to cross a railroad in front of an incoming train. Two minutes de- Jay would many lime save the loss of life and property. . ^ SIMON STOFFEL has r* wived the ap­ pointment of Postmaster at »Vest McHenrv, to succeed John Kimball, whose terra of Joffice has expired.

As the question of Licensed Enbalmers is now being talked of, it may be proper atthistfmeto say that Jacob Justen qualified himself for embalming and pre­ serving dead bodies, by attending a full course of instruction and practical dem­ onstration, at the Clarke School for Em­ balming, at Chicago, and for which he he hoi Is a certificate from the faculty of said school, given him under date of May 12,1892 It will therefore be ^een that he was within tha letter of the law even before the law was passed. & DEATH OF MBS H. H BRADY. DIKD -- Vt her home in Chicago, Febru­ ary 2d, 1899. Mrs. Georgia Brady, be­ loved wife of H. H. Brady, ae«d 48 Wears. A Mrs. Brady was born in the town of /annda >nd had lived in this county all of ber .ife, until abont sixteen years ago, when she moved to Chicago, where she has madfl her home ever since. She was a daughter of James Tyrrell, an old and highly respected citie >n, who lived on a farm between this village and Nunda, who died eevcrttljyears ago. Mrs. Brady was well known in this vil­ lage, where she resided fbr many years, and where she had hosts of triends who deeply mourn her death. A woman of a jovial and happy disposition, she had a faculty of making nil around her happy and cont«nted. Of apparent robust health t^e news of ber sickness and death was a severe shock to her friends, many of whom had not heard of her sickness until her death was announced. She leaves to mourn, her loss a hus­ band, mother, brothers and sisters, be­ sides a host of friends, both in Chicago and this county, and the heartfelt sym­ pathy of all go out to the bereaved ones in this, their hour of sorrow. The funeral was held from be? late resi­ dency No 12 Ogden Avenu?, Chicago, on Sunday afternoon last, and her remains were brought 13 McHenry On the 10 a m. train on Monday and laid at rest in W oodland Cemetery, beside other loved ones who had gone before. THE regular Chicago mail, which Should arrive here from the north every 'morning at 7:32, too frequfntly misses the connection at Genoa Junction, and letters that should get here in the morn |fg are not received until 3:30 in the ^fternoon, and consequently cannot be Answered until the next morning This, In many cases, is a great inconvenience » tO our business men is there no remedy ? 1 • 28 ponnds of choios : v.

The German Fair, which is being held » the new church in this - village, was formally opened on^Sunday evening last A TO opening address was made by R^v. 'Father Kirsch, pastor of the church, ond was followed by President (Jrinty, in a f «w well timed remarks jn behalf of the village. Adolph Fisher, of Elgin, then gave an aldressHn German, and we take it fur granted that it was pertinent and to the point, bat it was all Greek to us. This was followed by music by the Mc­ Henry Military Band, singing by the Elgiu Quartette, and by home talent, which was well received by the large crowd in attendance. A fine lunch was also served during the evening, and nothing left undone by the Committee to make it pleasant for all. The Fair is drawing large crowds both afternoon and evening, and if one is to judge by the two days it has been run­ ning will be a decided success, financially and otherwise. The committee having the matter in charge are sparing no pains, and are turnishing a programme each day and evening for the entertain­ ment of those present, which consists of music, singing, tableaux, charades, etc. The articles on exhibition are numerous and are meeting with ready sale, which fact insures a good financial showing. At this early day, the Fair having hardly got in running order, but little more can be said, but after its close we will make a full report. It will be open every day and evening up to and includ­ ing Feb* 14. I he Oliver Typewriter Band of Wood­ stock will be present on Saturday of tnis week. • EASTER comes on April 2d this year, two weeks earlier than last year, and as this date usually marks the opening of the season for dress, the milliners, dry goods merchants and clothing mea are making early preparations. A MAN in an adjoining town bought bis boy a nice double barrel shot gun recently and the first thing the boy did was to look down in*-o the barrel and ask if it was loaded. The father didn't say a word, but took the gun right back to the dealer and took in exchange a saw buck, an ax and other farming tools. POBTMASTER WAITE will in a few days post the following rules: ' No letters will de delivered until they have been receiv­ ed If you don't get a letter or paper on the day you expect it, have the post­ master look through all the boxrs and down cellar also. It ought to be tbere somewhere and he likes to bunt for it just to please you. If your friend don't write cuss the postmaster, he is to blame. If he tells you there is no mail for you put on a grieved expression and say, "there ought to be torn He is probably bid­ ing your mail for the pleasure of h .ving you call for it two or three times a day. Ask bim again. Suicide at National Hottae. The Elgin Every Saturday saye: Thos." J. Kelley, of the watch factory, was found dead in his room at the National House Frilay morning, having shot himself in the mouth., His wife had filed a bill for divorce and the sheriff went to serve the writ and found him dead. His parents live at Woodstock. His attor­ neys, Irwin & Abbot', have found bim in very unsettled stat* of mind for two weeks, worrying over his little son, and they are not surprised at the outcome. Tha sympathy ot those who know the fasts in the case are entirely with him. Hotel Change. .Marshall Bros, have^ purchased the interest of Asad Udell in the Glen wood Springs Hotel. The hotel will be open as usual this year and the prospects for a successful season are good. It is Vr. Udell's intention to engage in other busi­ ness. One of the changes contemplated by Marshall Bros, is that of moving the park barn much nearer the hotel. It will be located directly across the street from the hotel, near the old site.--Harvard Independent* IT is really wonderful to notice the care some men exercise in piliBg wood. We saw one the other day spend five minutes in looking for a place to put a stick with the bark down, so it wonld make a bole lararer than itself, and--he found it* Yes, when he had finished his "cord" it was a question whether he was building "cord" of woodor a "cord" of holes with a prospect, if I hey could >be measured, that there was more boles than wood, Bed and Horse Blankets, the finest line to be foond in the County, at StoSel'i. siller FXBSOKAIt r fl.

The name of this disease which may be divided into three-distinct stages is, First Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lnmbago, frequent de­ sire to urinate, often with a burning sen­ sation, the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water passage increasing desire to urinate, with scaid- inir sensation in passing, small quanti­ ties being passed with difficulty, some­ times necessary to draw it with instru­ ments. If uric acid or gravel has formed ft will prove dangerous if neglected. The Third stage is Bright's Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialise, has discovered a remeJy ia-' mous for ils marvelous cures of the most distressing eases and known as Dr. Kil­ mer's Swamp Root.
