The Harvard Anti Horse Thief asso- ciation is considering the advisability pf purchasing bloodhounds to aid them in their cause. The dogs which they expect to purchase have been thorough­ ly tested and have proven reliable. They will cost the society about $100 for each animal. The supreme court has decided the driver of an auto must stop his machine on approaching a horse or team which he has reason to believe may become frightened. The fine for not comply­ ing with this rule is npt less than $5 and not more than $300, or three months imprisonment in the county jail. Some amusing stories are told of the new use of the telephone. An operator in one of the towns near Chicago was addressed by a young lady who had ap­ parently struck upon a happy thought. "Oh, Central," she said, "call me to­ morrow morning about twenty minutes before that 6:40 train goes to Chicago. I have just got to catch that train. And say, I wish you would telephone down to the depot before calling me and ask if the train is late. If it is behind time call me accordingly. This number is seven-eleven. Thank you. Good-bye." Nunda Herald: John H. Gracy of Terra Cotta, well known throughout the. county as a prominent and success­ ful farmer, has been honored with the appointment by Geo. Deneen as dele­ gate to the Farmers' National Congress to be held at Richmond, Ya., Sept. 12 to 22. In making the selection of Mr. Gracy the governor chose Wisely, as there is no man in northern Illinois more interested in the subject, or who would come more nearly representing the modern and up-to date scientific farmers of this section. Our people are pleased to receive this recognition from Gov. Deneen, and thanks are certainly due those who interested themselves in securing t lie appointment of Mr. Gracy as delegate to this congress. The hon­ or was to Mr. Gracy totally unexpected. Libertyville Independent. Last Fri­ day noon, Leona Diethorn, the eight year old daughter of Jacob Diethorn of Phillips Station, midway between Libertyville and GraysUrse, was kicked to death by a colt. IttLie believed that the child had attempted to enter the stall when the animal becoming freigh- tened kicked her. Only a minute be­ fore she had asked her mother if the colt needed water but was answered in the negative. Almost immediately the mother heard a cry and rushed to the aid of the child to find her unconscious upon the floor of the stall. Mr. Diet­ horn, who was at a neighbor's thrash­ ing, was summoned but before his ar­ rival the little girl had died. The colt had always been considered exception­ ally gentle and is evident that it must have been Startled by the unexpected approach of the child who probably gave no warniitg of her presence. A Continual Strain. • ;• Many men and women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term "a continual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physically, affecting their nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney com­ plaints, with the attendant evils of con­ stipation. loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality and despondency. They cannot, as a rule, get rid of this "con­ tinual strain," but they can remedy its health-destroying effects by taking fre­ quent doses of Oreen's August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates the kid­ neys, insures healthy bodily functions, giyes vim and spirit to one's whole be­ ing, and eventually dispels the mental or physical distress caused by that "con-, tinual strain."

The McHenry public, school under the supervision of a most capable corps of iustruciers, will dpen next Monday morning, September 4. The same teachers as taught in the various rooms last year, with one exception, Mrs. Mary Cobb, who so successfully and satisfactorily taught in the fourth room lor the past several years, have been re-engaged for the coming school term and we feel safe in predicting a most beneficial term. Miss Kassor, who bails from Elgin, comes to take Mrs. Cobb's room, furnishes a gilt-edge repu­ tation as to her capability as a teacher. Those having children of the school age should send them right from the begin­ ning. '/• The classification and gradation- of our school make it second to none in McHenry county. Those patrons of surrounding community and villages wishing to avail themselves of the op­ portunities of a first-class high school for their boys and girls can jlo no better than to enroll them in the Mc­ Henry public school. The addition of the ninth grade in the Grammar de­ partment is of inestimable value to our boys and girls. Parents should have their children enter Sept. 4 and en courage a punctual and regular attend­ ance thruout the entire school year. On account of this addition to our al ready thorough course, the grades have been readjusted, thereby placing two grades in each room: Koom 1--Miss Kate Howe--Grades 1 and 2 Kootn 2--Miss Eoiia Hoy IT-- (jrades 3 and 4 ttoom 3-- Miss Lillian Sanborn -tirades5ami0 Koom 4--Miss Kassor-Grades 7 and 8 Koom 5-- Miss Agnes l'erry tirades 9 and 10 Koom tt--E.

At Central opera brsnse, Saturday evening, Sept. 3, Miss Marie Ostella the charming little soubrette supported by the clever comedian Eddie Delaney will present the superb comedy drama of New York life, "The Winning Hand", a play of real life full of heart interest and one that appeals to the heart strings of all who see it. Special scenic effects depicting the Bronx of New York and other city scenes are used. This charm­ ing story is so told that it is a blending of fun and pathos and keeps one con­ tinually interested from start to finish. During the action of the play new and up-to-date songs are Introduced by Miss Ostella, Eddie Delaney and others. This is without doubt one of the finest comedy dramas that will visit thiB city this season, carrying their own band and orchestra, and no one should miss seeing it.

The evening's entertainment was made up of games, music and merriment and that the jolly crowd enjoyed the event immensely is putting it rather mildly. Miss McOm­ ber proved herself a most royal hostess, uot one of those present leaving the house without first expressing herself or himself as havjng spent $ very de­ lightful evening. Before the hour of departure had come the guests were served with delicious refreshments. Miss McOmber was the recipient of many beautiful presents left by the company as a kind rememberance of the occasion.

All the money collected was sent to the Daily News Fresh Air Fund and the Salvation Army Outing Fund. Average attendance 45. As there is but one week more before the Chicago schools open some of the resorters, who have children to send to school are already leaving and ere .an­ other week has passed many of the families who have cottages at the Bay will have left this beautiful spot. The season of 1905 will go down in history as one of the most successful in many years which goes to show that Beauti­ ful Pistakee and the river resorts are becoming more widely known each year. Although the busy season is practically at an end, the resorts will still have their large Saturday and Sun­ day crowds for a month to come. The hunting season which begins soon will also serve to bring crowds of sportsmen out weekly. A Warning; to Mothers. Too much care cannot be used with IN CUPID'S FOLD.

As a rule it is only neces­ sary to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the q}d-fashioned castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a tendency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels give Chamber­ lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may be checked in its incipiency and all danger avoided. The castor oil and this remedy should be procured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as the first indica­ tion of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be reled upon with im­ plicit confidence even in cases of cholera infantum. For sale by all drugists. In Honor of Miss Glynch. The Misses Hattie * Lamphere and Mamie Granger entertained a company of young people at their home last Sat­ urday evening in honor of Miss Leleh Glynch of Wauconda, who has been their guest during the past week.

Another Good Man Gone Wrong. He neglected to take Foley's Kidney Cure at the first signs of kidney trouble, hoping it would wear away, and he was soon a victim of Bright's disease. There is danger in delay, but if Foley's Kidney Cure is taken at once the symptoms will disappear, the kidneys are streng ened and you are soon sound and well. A. R. Bass, of Morgantown, Ind., had to get up ten or twelve times in the night, and had a severe backache.and pains in the kidneys, and was cured by Foley's Kidney Cure. G.

The bridal couple attended by Miss Margaret Sutton and Mr. Walter J. Walsh promptly at the above named hour marched up the middle aisle of the church to the altar, to the beautiful strains of a wedding march very cap­ ably "rendered by Miss Lucy Sutton, sister of . the bride's maid, where the sacred words were spoken by the pastor which made them man and wife. The bride looked very charming, gowned in a dress of white French silk lawn. She carried a bouquet of white bridal roses. Miss Sutton, the brides maid, was also attired in white and carried pink roses. Immediately after the ceremony at the church the couple, ac­ companied by a few of the nearest rela­ tives and most intimate friends gathered at the home of the bride's parents where a reception was tendered them. The young couple left the same evening on a short wedding tour and will be at home to their many friends at 261 E. 62nd street, Chicago, III., after Septem­ ber 15. x Mrs. Gibbs is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter WalBh, who reside south of town. She has made McHenry and the surrounding country her home dur­ ing almost her entire life where she numbers her friends by the score. She is a most delightful young woman and will make for the man, who has selected her as a companion a most af­ fectionate wife. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gibbs, who reside at Barreville.
