Among those of our own people we find "Li'man T. Hoy Was born Oct. 38, 1850, in Alden, Mc­ Henry county; attended district school and worked on the farm until the age of 15, when, his father having been elected county clerk, the family moved to Woodstock, where he attended high school until the age of 18, when he en­ tered the drug business under the firm name of Murphy & Hoy. The business conducted under this firm name until the spring of 1881, since which date Mr. Hoy has been the sole owner. He has always taken an active interest in the public affaire, having held various city and town offices,and is at the present time supervisor of his town. He is, and has for twelve years been, the chairman of the Republican county committee, and the increase of the Republican ma­ jorities in that county testifies to the thoroughness of the work done under his direction. He has also been the member of the state cental committee representing the Eighth Congressional district, and during the recent campaign be was chairman of the committee on literature and had complete charge of the same. In the spring of 1898 Governor Tanner tendered him the secretaryship of the state board of pharmacy, which position he is still filling." "Du Fay A. Fuller. Du Fay A. Fuller, State Senator from Belvidere, in the Eighth district, was born in Flora, Boone County, Illinois, Feb. 21, 1852. He is a brother of Judge Charles Fuller, a well Known jurist throughout the northern part of the state. He is district manager for the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, and has built up an extensive and lucra­ tive business, employing a number of sub-agents. Four years ago the Republicans of Boone county recommended Mr. Fuller to the Senatorial convention for nomi­ nation to the lower house of the Fortieth General Assembly. He was elected by a large majority; was unanimously re­ nominated for the same position in the Forty-First General Assembly, and was re-elected by an increased majority. As a legislator Mr. Fuller has been a conspicuous and influential member. In his first year of legislative work he championed the judical apportionment bill, which gave his Senatorial district two circuit court judges, where prior to that time they had none. Another law with which Mr. Fuller identified himself was the board pardon bill. Mr. Fuller also introduced and secured the passage of the "butterine bill," the passage of which was wholly in the interests of the farmer. The Republicans of the Eighth Sena­ torial district, in recognition of Mr. Fuller's profound wisdom and loyalty, elected him Senator in the Forty-Second General Assembly recently adjourned. He stands stanch and wholly devoid of any embarrassing political entangle­ ments. a member of no clique or faction an honest exponent of the whole people's interests. Socially Mr. Fuller is a mem­ ber of the Masonic order and I, O. O. F. "Edward D. Shurtleff. Representative Edward D. Shurtleff, one of the leading men on the Republi­ can side in the House in the Forty- Second General Assembly, was born in Genoa, DeKalb county, 111., Sept. 19, 1863.

He lived for a time in South Dakota and later returned to his native state. Mr. Shurtleff was elected mayor of the city of Marengo in 1893 and made a great re­ cord for improving the town in many ways, chief of which were giving the city a waterworks and a municipal elec­ tric lighting plant. He was elected su­ pervisor of Marengo township in 1896, and re-elected in 1898, and in 1899 he was again elected mayor of the city. He made his entry into state politics in 1900, when he was nominated and elected to the House of Representatives. In the House he made a creditable re­ cord for a member serving his first term. In 1892 Mr. Shurtleff married Miss Elizabeth H. Sisson, and they have two children. Mr. Shurtleff is a member of the Knights Templal*, Modern Wood­ man, and A. O. U. W." If the people only , knew* what we know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be used in nearly every house­ hold, as there are few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach or water brash, caused by in­ digestion or dyspepsia. A preparation, such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the stomach will digest your food, certainly can't help but do good. Julia A. Story and G. W. Besley. FARMER8 EXCURSION. Sale of Tickets Being Rapidly Throughout the County. Pushed Some of the enterprising and wide­ awake farmers of the county have been appointed to sell tickets for the McHenry County Farmers' Institute picnic at Madison, June 4. The officers of the in­ stitute have been working like beavers the past week in the interests of this picnic and the success of the outing is practically assured. Those desiring tickets in this vicinity ean secure them from the following named persons: W. A. Sayler, H. C. Mead, West McHenry; Sayler E. Smith, C. W. Harrison and H. J. Watson, Ringwood; E. Cropley, Solon; Fred L. Hatch, J. B. Richardson, E G. Turner and Mrs. E. E. Hartwell, Spring Grove. The principal reason for having the tickets sold in this way is to ascertain as nearly as possible the number who are going to attend the picnic, in order to provide cars enough to carry all com­ fortably, and thus avoid the crowding which is usual on excursions. .BELL Boilder of flrat-claas CONCRETE, COriPOSITION or ASPHALT Don't tie the top of your jelly and preserve jars in the old fashioned way.

There is a dignity about a news­ paper advertisement that there is about no other kind. The circular begs at the door for admission to the family. The dodgers belong to the street or highway. But the newspaper adver­ tisement enters the family by right, and it shares the welcome given to the pages which are' freighted with the news of the community. A few days ago a Jefferson City, Mo., young lady went to the telephone to talk to a young man in a neighboring town, and before beginning said to Cen­ tral: "All you are welcome to listen--I know you will anyhow--but after it is over keep still about it."
