She was the shade of my childhood days. I watched her as, with face untouched by care or sorrow, she tripped lightly down the old famil­ iar streets. Near the mill pond she paused, and with a cry of delight joined a well-beloved figure whom old Mc- Henryites will recall as "Dr. Jim." A fishing expedition was on foot, for Mr. Munson, with pail and rod, stood near. I felt a thrill of pleasure for the child. My companions called my attention to the pretty homes. They saw at the gates the present occupants; but to me many a "vanished hand" waved kindly greetings, and out from the past cheer­ ily spoke "voices that are still." The rest of the party saw the old mill as it is today. I noticed, instead, the little maid intently listening to the explana­ tions of Mr. Collier as to "what makes the wheels go 'round." Here to passed Mrs. Mayes on one of her errands to the sick, "Dick" Bishop behind his fast trotter, and many otjjfers whose feet have touched the ol̂ Nih^^ ̂ jileaaant to know the Great Reaper has left many old landmarks.

Its comfortable rooms, its well filled Mid beautifully served table, its genial host and hostess are recollections of the immediate past. Here, as in few other spots, can rest be found. Here my little lads can row and fish, all undisturbed by thought of danger. Here we older people can read and think and sleep and eat From here we can travel to any one of a doz­ en beautiful places, and. after a happy day, return in time for the welcome Anmd of the supper gong.

This system takes in all the farming community between Hebron and Greenwood. Orders have been re­ ceived for twelve more farmer's tele­ phones and work is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The company ex­ pects in the coming year to install farm­ ers' lines in all parts of the County, as it has practically completed the build­ ing up of the towns. Its latest move in that line was the construction of a hundred number exchange in Nunda and Crystal Lake, Where thirty tele­ phones are already in operation. There are nearly six hundred Independent tele­ phones in the county. Prominent citizens in each town are taking small amounts of the stock, and in this way it is becoming more an more a people's company. Six tel phones have been ordered and will bi added to the McHenry Exchange as soon as possible. The names will ap­ pear in next directory which is being printed and which will contain more than a thousand snhscrjbers with whom members of the McHenry Exchange can secure ready and efficient connection.

Over 2,000 able-bodied men from this particular district of Illinois marched away to war. Over 400 died, either on the battlefield or in tbe hospital from the effects at deadly wounds. The procession started at 1:80 o'clock, Chief Marshal C. A. Partridge, em­ blazoned with a wide red sash, hustled about and got his delegations in line. The Thirtieth United States Volunteers came up from Fort Sheridan. Colonel Gardner, on a fine sorrel, rode a| the head. He had 1,200 men behind him, and what a body of men! Tanned, muscular, well-groomed fellows, who swung along together as if their legs were worked by an automation and responded to a lever that put them in mption at the same moment. Behind them creaked the platoon, of artillery. Lieutenant McGlaclilin, on a blooded nag, was in command. Then marched along the sailors and marines from the Michigan. A quartet sang the unveiling song. At the close of the fourth stanza, the flag was dropped from the statute. Seme one wawda handkerchief tsom the stage at this Instance; some one else on top of courthouse gave another sig­ nal, and within an instant the Michi­ gan, a mile*lf*y and out of the people's sight, began to boom i ts six pounders. The national salute of twenty-one guns was fired; bells rang all over the city, the crowds cheered, some of the women wept, and every one was standing up and gazing hard at the marble monn- mant that stood in its naked beauty taking its first sun bath. For ten min­ utes pandemonium reigned. Finally things settled somewhatand J. L. Sawyer, president of the county board, advanced and delivered a brief but apt speech of acceptance. The qnartete sang with much feeling "Flag Without a Stain." Bishop Saml uel Fallows followed with the address; of the day. He was introduced as the "soldier divine" and was received wis& enthusiastic appl rase. He declared with sdirlt that "divine Providence has so ordained it that no American boy shall ever rank the fath­ er who so grandly helped to keep the banner of beauty and glory waving su­ preme--'not a stripe erased, not a star obscured'--ofie flag under which the boy has been winning his spurs and proving himself worthy of his father's name.

D. Ang. 89, 1809. Mr. Wm. Stoffel, West McHenry, HL Dear Sir--I noticed in the columns of the last issue of the McHenry Plain- dealer that you are about to open up a real estate office in McHenry. I have thought for a time that if the right per­ son in McHenry wished to sell land in the west, that they could make a good profit out of it. We have two real estate offices here Mid one of them is represented by offices in Illinois and Iowa, and this same of­ fice has sold over twenty farms con­ taining 160 and 820 acres" each within the last month. The price of the land is from seven to fifteen dollars per acre, the price varying according to the lo­ cation and improvements. I lielieve that a person would be able to sell a large number of farms to the renters around McHenry, and know that after we had disposed of a few farms that others would buy readily, as this couatoy is without a doubt the leading country for a poor man. If you wish to try to dispose of land here to party resideing in and around McHenry for one half of the commission that we can make I wonld be glad to I give you furthur particulars. j If you wish to inquire as to my integ­ rity I refer you to Mr. Perry, or almost any of the old residents of McHenry.

Twelve steel arches, each 33 tons, which were to have the superstructure of the building, in course of erection Wabash avenue between Fifteenth Sixteenth street, Chicago, fell to ground Late Monday. It is known nine lives were crushed out, bodies of two men are supposed to be under the wreckage. Seven are in the hospital. the twelve arches were stand­ ing, the twelfth and last having Khewi^ completed to-day. The imme eller" or derrick which has the erection of the arches had been re­ moved, and the agents of the bridge company were accounting their work practically completed, when sud­ denly, and without the slightest preliminary warning, the arch last pal. in place suddenly fell over against the one next to it The weight was too much for this and it gave'WtQi, crashed against the third, and then one by one the great steel spans fell over'to the south, precisely in the same manner as a number of cards would fall. An immense crowd gathered anmnd the place and despite the effor police who were close at •swarmed over the mass of making desperate but ill- fco drag out the dead and tc wounded. It was only with est difficulty that the police ly able to drive back the cro#if^ give the fireman and uninjured men a chance to rescue the injured. That more men were not killed injured was almost a miracle. fifty men were at work in covered by the arches as they number of the men fell into cavation, of which there are many hd, the ground beneath the steel works, Mod although somewhat battered up hy 4l|eir tumble, were saved from ti#'̂ pat masses of steel and crashed do^iNi^wer them.

Wagner, president of the Greater 'New York Retail Butchers' Association, continues to receive com­ munications and visits from persons who are anxious either to invest capital in the proposed slaughtes-house scheme of the associated or sell it cattle. A western cattle dealer who owns several hundred thousand head of beef cattle,, besides having a large amount of cap­ ital at his command, came to New Yorkl from Chicago a few days ago to confer with the executive board of the asso­ ciation when it is ready to begin supply­ ing beef to customers in Greater New York, In contradiction of the assertions of packers that the price of cattle is very high at present and that good beeves are worth from |95 to *75 in the Chi­ cago market, Mr. Wagner pointed to an advertisement of a North Dakota cattle company, which stated that range cattle were bringing from $40 to $50 per head on the hoof from buyers in the Chicago market and that 8-year-old steers on the range could be made ready for the mar­ ket at a cost of not more than $25 a A Coming Treat.

Help Very Scarce. The broomcorn harvest will open ht full blast nest week. A number of early planters in the central part of state have already entered their and crops of thirty to fifty acres hav« been cut and put in the sheds to dry. The bulk of the corn cutting will along until the 1st of October. So far the corn cut has turnedr out good. The fiber, color, and length compare favorably with that of year, but it is not thought the will be quite as heavy. One of the problems confronting^ Ihe farmer in the harvesting of his crop this year is the scarcity of help. One man, who is an extensive raisKf(|p|he produce, drove a distance of *wfcty miles the other day and was tmable to get a man to assist him with his work. When the busy season opens next this will be a serious matter. Ready to Roast the Ox. Charles B.
