ROTHERMEL, Son of ^z-Collector Peter Rothermel. POURING oil on troubled waters doe* not seem to work in this case we are having with the Standard Oil. THE Balfour cabinet is having trouble to stand pat. They should take a few lessons from President Roosevelt. COUNT CASSINI, the Russian ambas­ sador at Washington, insists that those peace rumors should bear a Chefoo date. CZAR "NICK" is hoping to wake up some morning and find a peace fire es­ cape ladder from the window of his pal­ ace. IF Tom LaWson continues to confine his best efforts to his prospectuses, the reading public will have just; cause to complain. THE Standard Oil magnates , are re-, fusing to talk. They evidently hope to keep quiet until these rebellious times are over. REPORTS show that the state senat­ ors in California should be guarded while those $100 bills are floating around the state bouse. CHEMICALLY prepared apple cider has killed a man in DulutK It is al­ most as fatal as the wood alcohol with Tammany hall. SENATOR CULLOM of Illinois says'the president must take the senate into his confidence. Mr. Roosevelt is not a "confidence man." THE Illinois legislature performed a splendid service to the people in clip­ ping the claws of the wild-cat insurance companies of the state. THE weather is a valuable assistant to Kuropatkin in Manchuria. It is a standing excuse for not Wiping' the earth up with the Japs. IF Kansas really wants to get rid of the Standard Oil all it has got to do is to hitch Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease and Carrie Nation together, and Bay "rii 'em,"and the work will be done. ADDICKS is said to have executed a financial coup and is now in fnndH again. This must be cheering news to the Delaware legislature, where $1,000 bills have been scarce for quite a while. JOHN D. R< ICKAKKI-LKK is said to be of the opinion that Gov. Hoch of Kan­ sas is a wicked man, as compared with Mr. Hpch of Chicago, who prevented 31 women from being lone widows and old maids. KING EDWARD was 60 when he as­ cended the British throne, and 68 when he appointed Dr. Osier to a professor­ ship at Oxford Now the Doctor as goo4 as says that all men over 60 ought to be shot. What do you think of that for ingratitude? SENATOR DEPEW of New York says the bill for regulating railroad rates, as prepared by Hons. J. J . Esch of Wiscon­ sin and Chas. E. Townsendof Michigan, shows evidence of lack of judgment in these men for such legislation- When a railroad man like Ddpew criticises a railroad bill, it is safe to accept,it aB being a good bill for the people. ; , QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ftruift Clipped from The PlaindPHler oif ' March 3; 1880. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON always talks horse sense. He is still advising bin people to work and earn property and deserve respect and they will get it. JHERE seems to be some doubt as to who will get the credit of putting the Standard Oil out of business.

S, WJSIR MITCHELL says every novel should be laid away for two years after it is written. Many of them should be left until the place they rest in is for­ gotten. NEBRASKA can only give "moral sup- port" to Kansas in her fight against the Standard Oil, as her university has re­ cently accepted a gift of $66,000 from John D. . THE inauguration of President Roose­ velt will be the greatest event of the kind ever witnessed in Washington. We do not inaugurate such men as he, very often.

Wilson, who lives about two miles east of this village, died quite sud­ denly on Friday last. The next annual reunion of the old settlers of McHenry and Lake connties will be held at Wauconda on June 15. C. B.

The Railroad company have put in a new clock at the depot, and now if you want to get Chicago correct time all you have to do is call at the depot and-- look for yourself. A literary meeting will be held at the brick church in this village on Thurs­ day evening of this week and the fol­ lowing subject discussed: Resolved, That Chinese Emigration to the United States should be Prohibited." Affirm­ ative, Doc McLean; negative, E. W. Wheeler. The lumber office of Smith & Snyder had a narrow escape from fire on Mon­ day. It caught from a defective chim­ ney and when disoovered bad got under such. headway it was thought almost impossible to save it. But the "wooden pail company" was promptly on hand and succeeded in extinguishing it after a hard fight. Damage slight. O. W. Owen met with quite a severe accident on Saturday last by being thrown from a buggy near Hanly's mill, striking his head upon the hub of th£ buggy, cutting it quite severely and doubling him up in such a manner as to injure his back. At one time it was feared that he was injured internally, but at this writing he is reported much better and will be out again in a few days. On'Friday evening of this week the scholars of the public school will hold public exercises at the schoolbouse, at which time there will be a debate on the tariff question. These exercises are said to be very interesting, and our citi­ zens should encourage them by their presence, as they cannot but prove ben­ eficial to those who take part in them. Let our citizens give them a good hear­ ing Friday evening. The work of clearing away prepara­ tory to moving back the old planing mill, to make room for the new wagon factory to be erected tjy Hon. R. Bishop, has been commenced and will be pushed rapidly forward The new building is to be 20x45 and two stories high, the lower room to be used for the machin­ ery for manufacturing and the upper story as a paint shop and finishing room. A new improted watei wheel is on the ground, ready to be put in, and other machinery adapted to the business will be put in as soon as the building is completed. Mr. Bishop informs us that he will keep twenty or twenty-five men at work constantly and put on more if the necessities of the business require it This will be a great addition to the busi­ ness of McHenry, and with such a man as Mr Bishop to push it forward will be ati honor to our village. McVlcker'n ThenteT. Henry M. Blossom, Jr. 's, happy com­ bination of fun and sentimeiit, his play, "Checkers," is to be the attraction at McVicker's theater, Chicago, for tvo weeks, beginning Sunday, March 5. The play tells a tale of love and luck, and it has Leentme of the great success­ es of the past two seasons. When the young author, who, by the way. is a native of Illinois, wrote his little book, "Checkers," he did not for a moment thin* of the work as material l'or a play, but the extraordinary popularity of the little storv made Mr. Blossom think of a dramatization and he" set about put­ ting his work into stage form. The re suit is one of the prettiest and -most wholesome of plays, with plenty of humpr, much at human nature and enough of pure sentiment--the senti­ ment v hich runs in youthful blooa and makes the whole world seem like a gar- dsn-of roses---to keep the heart young. The patrons of McVicker's have a treat in store for them. The long heralded event of the year at McVicker's, the production of C. T. Dazey's new melo-" drama, "Home Folks, " will take place Sunday, March 19, and besides the cast of distinguished players some two hnn* dred trained supernumeraries will be used in the presentation df this quaint picture of life ' out in Illinoy." Mr. Dazey took the main theme of his play .from a verse in one of James Whitcomb Riley's Sweetest poems, "Home Folks,," The stanza runs thus: "Home folks--theyr'e just the same as bin-- All brung up, same as we have been, Without no overpowerin' sense Of their uncommon consequence!" The atmosphere of homely, healthy sen-' timent and peacefulness suggested by the poem -is preserved in the play, but there are many exciting climaxes to make the blood thrill aBd much of side­ splitting copiedy to give variety to the delights of an evening with "Jome Folks." The Plaindealer will be sent to any address on trial three months for twenty- flye cents, and will be discontinued at the expiration of that time unless other­ wise ordered. Try it. ImpOTGTlStBtf SOii Impoverished soil, like impov­ erished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analys­ ing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to use for' different products. If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you ^ieed a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking in your system. * There is no fat food that is so easily digested and assimi­ lated as Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil It will nourish and strengthen the body when milk and cream fail to do it.
