($3 * year. The Outlook Company, 387 Fourth Avenue, New York.) We trust that our readers will over­ look the fact that this week's issue does not compare favorably with former ef­ forts. It would seem almost impossible to get out a paper and move the plant in one week, but the attempt has been made, and perhaps the news 'service will fall short By next week we will be after the news again, hammer and tongs. LeCompte and Simpson, who were lulled to hold down the boards at Stof- ffU's hall Tuesday evening, did not put in an appearance. They are evidently mi uncertain quantity, for up to this writing no word has been received from them by Mr. Stoffel. If they pretend to be anybody they might have had the courtesy to explain why they oould not appear here.

Now# boys, this may be all right if the night is dark and no one catches ydu in the act. But threats h^ve been made by some of those who have l^t fruit, and you are liable to carry a charge of bird shot home with you some night. We would not like to have such a thing happen, hence this warning. The village board of Wanconda has passed an ordinance which provides that saloons do away with all curtains, screens, painted- windows--any things that will obstruct a view of the inter­ ior of the bar-room. The village law makers want to know who the patrons of such places are. The temperance people claim this ordinance will cut deeply into the profits of the liquor dealers and accomplish a reform. * Protect the Game.

But the attrac­ tion that pleased the people most, both old and young was the Bickett family of acrobats. They certainly were won­ derful performers and to see them alone was well worth the time and money spent Secretary Arnold was very for­ tunate in securing them for the occa­ sion. At ft meeting of the village trustees Tuoeday evening the (contract for build- iag COSwarete walks in McHenry was awarded to J. F. Wianer, of Rockford. Bids were submitted by only two con­ tractors, Wm. Bell, of Elgin, (bad the gentleman mentioned above. Mr. Bell asked 7| cents^r square foot and Mr. Winner's bid Called for cents. The specitications Were about the same in both. Both parties have done work in this village and so for have given entire satisfaction. In addition to the location of new walks mentioned in the council proceedings three weeks ago, the board voted last night to build a walk from John Justen's corner to Mr*. Geo. Schreiner's new house, and from Hei­ mer Bros, corner to C. T. Eldredge's residence. No definite action was taken on the crossing question, but is probable that those which are in very bad condition will be repaired and a few new ones mayH>e built if the funds hold out GAME SEASON OPENS.

The citisens of Hebron were appalled last Sunday morning when the news of Prof. Charles B. Cross' sudden death was made known. Mr. Cross attempted to cross the rail­ road tracks in front of a White Fish Bay excursion train which was passing through the town at terrific speed and was struck by the locomotive. His body was mangled horribly, death being in stantaneous. Mr. Cross was a young man and was well liked by the people of Hebron. He was superintendent of the public school at that place last year and wonld have commenced on hia seoond year this week. He was not married, but leaves three brothers to mourn his death. mmm : (Continued on page eight} iW'-' '&K V 1 pnii Hnjn^iiiiil On Tuesday, Augftat 27, at the par sonage in Wanconda, Rev.

Smut In Corn. A. man who w pretty well posted on the farming conditions in Boon county advises The Bspublican to warn the farmers about tite smut on corn. Speak­ ing of the matter he said: "There is more smut on oo^p this year than ever on account of ears failing to fill. Farm ers who use corn fodder had better look a little out or they will have some dead cows if they feed it. Last year I knew of several farmery who lost cattle through smut If the farmers of Boone county are wise they will go through their corn fields with corn knives and slash off smut wherever it appears.-- Belvidere Republican. .y;- The home of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Sut­ ton was the scent of unusual festivities Monday of Jlxis week, when they cele­ brated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. It was an event never to be forgotten by those present Such gatherings are always pleasant. They tend to draw the scattered family into closer relation­ ship and enthuse the aged couple with a new life. Mr. Sutton is sixty-nine years old and Mrs. Sutton has passed her seventy-fourth year. They both enjoy good health, considering their age, and bid fair to partake of the joys of this life and enjoy the society of their children for many years to come. They bave resided in McHenry for forty- seven years and can count their friends by the hundreds, who will rejoice with them over this event There were present five of their own children and forty- seven grand-ohildren.

Miss Besley's room opened this with 30 pupils enrolled. Mary Going, of the' second room, had a severe toothache Monday and was excused for a short time in the after­ noon. The second room, under the super­ vision of Miss Ethel Smith, opened Mon­ day with an enrollment of 40 pupils. Edward Quigley entered school Tues­ day after attending the German school for a number of years. High sohool opened with 38 pupils en­ rolled, four of them being new-comers.

Four new pupils commenced work in Mrs. Cobb's room Monday morning. Cloud Knooghl The Wanconda Leader has the {blow­ ing to say in regard to our organisa­ tion of musicians: "The McHenry band furnished music for the M. W. A. picnic and on Wednesday they played again for the Soldiers and Sailors twenty third annual reunion held here, and while hardly the best authority we ven­ ture the statement that this band, for the number of pieces, is by long odds the best in this corner of Illinois. The boys are ail manly fellows, too, which is very desirable when we consider the worth of a band. J. E. Pratt is one of the main stays and as he is a favorite here of course McHenry will be the favorite band with our folks." J ? ; ' • Jqp+ttQk Sunday School Picnle. The Universalist Sunday School will hold a basket picnic at Howe's grove, on the river, Saturday, September 7. Ar­ rangements have been made for boats, etc., and everything will be done to make it a happy event for the children.

A large number of people attended the clambake at Ben Stilling's hotel last Sunday, and no complaints have yet been heard from' those in attendance. The tables groaned under their loads of good thitigw and everybody groaned when they got up from the table. The Mc­ Henry band was present and as usual kept up their end of the program.

Many hunters came out from the city, and, together with the local inthus- iasts, quite an army was on the trail of the seductive prairie chicken and snipe. Hunters generally should become thor­ oughly acquainted with the law and by so doing perhaps save themselves con­ siderable trouble. The law provides that it shall be un­ lawful to shoot prairie chickens between October 1 and August 31; mourning doves between December 1 and August I; gray, red, fox or black squirrel 1 tween December 1 and July l: jack snipe, wilson snipe, sand snipe or any kind of s&ipe between April 35 and September 1; wild goose, duck, brant or other water fowl between April 19 and September l. It is also unlawful to shoot any water fowl from any fixed or artificial ambush beyond a natural covering of reeds, canes, fiaga.- 'WT|T rice, or other vegetation ttovt t|ka water of any lake, river, bay inlet or other water course. There sure many more points about the law that should be looked into be- the hunters shoulder their guns for the season's sport.

FAR^kW rf x..;' ';~*f --------i .. _ Mentioned as Probable' SueeesMir *• Pre­ siding Klder Hardin. Among the interesting topics of con­ versation at the Rockford District camp meeting held at Camp Epworth, was the probable successor to Presiding Elder F. A. Hardin. The appointment is in the hands of Bishops McCabe and Merrill and of course it is a profound secret what their decision will be. The prevailing opinion was that Rev. F. F. Farmiloe, pastor of the Grace church, Elgin, and one of the most popular Methodist ministers of northern Illinois, would be called to the position. Rev. Farmiloe is a strong and force­ ful man; has executive ability and is well known to the people of the dis­ trict. His work as pastor at Elgin may prevent his being chosen at this time, but he is regarded as a possibility now and there seems little doubt that he will occupy the place at some future time. His hundreds of friends around about here wonld be pleased to see him elevated to the position. 4i Some of the Utapyiilegs In Condensed Vera* for Bnay Kxrhange Gleaning*. Robt.

He is a forceful speaker, and with the aid of tb6 vwws thrown upon the canvas, truly depicted the terrible suffering that is endured by thousands of people in the slums of the larger cities. Not only was this side of the story tola^jbsw the great work of the Salvation'Army was revealed, clearly picturing the hardships and trials that those noble men and women go through in order to save the fallen and help the weak and innocent. Major Damon has had bis share of experience in this work, and having traveled through the Euro­ pean countries, is well qualified to pre­ sent "Darkest America" to his audience as it really is. Captain Sangren assisted during the evening with a few vocal selections which were greatly appreciated.
