Wilkins was saved from drowning Sunday, Aug net, 27. Her husband risked his life to save her. Yesterday afternoon the ex­ plosion of a gasoline stove burned her so badly that she died within a short time and injured her husband so that he may be mained for life. The Wil kinses live at Hammond, Ind. They were just closing their outing at Fox Lake when Mrs. Wilkins got beyond her depth while bathing and sank. Her husband saw her danger and, swimming to the spot where she sank, dived to the bottom and brought up her body. Mrs. Wilkins felt strong enough to return home yesterday. They had been in their home only a few hours when neighbors heard screams. Bursting through the doors they found both Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins enveloped inflames. The couple were wrapped in blankets and then hur­ ried to the nearest hospital. Mrs. Wil­ kins died last night Her husband is in a critical condition. Just meet me at Stoffel's tomorrow night.

We give below a full account of the Cormack-Marshali case, which has been in court for five years. In spite of the many urgent requests of friends of the MArshalln to have the court punish Mr., Cormack for the kidnapping of his child, the court used their honest judgment in the matter and handed down a decision which is satisfactory to all. It has also been reported that the case would be taken up by Presiding Elder Rev. Sam­ uel Earngey, of the Rockford district, of which Rev. J. M. Cormack is a mem­ ber, but this report is without founda­ tion and untrue. The Sycamore Trib­ une, in speaking of the case, has the fol­ lowing to say: At a term of the appellate court begun and held at Ottawa on Tuesday, the fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and five, within and for the Second Dis­ trict of the state of Illinois: Present-- The Hon. Alonzo K. Vickers, presiding justice; Hon. DorranceDibbell, justice; Hon. Wm. M. Farmer, justice; Chris­ topher C. Duffy, clerk; Frank Trumbo, sheriff. Be it remembered, that afterwards, to wit: On the 1st day of August, A. D. 1905, the opinion of the court was filed in the clerk's office of said court, in words and figures following, to wit: Gen. No. 4492. Joseph M. Cormack, 1 vs. > Error to DeKalb Thomas Marshall. ) Opinion by Farmer, J. At the October term, 1908, of the cir cuit court of DeKalb county, a writ of habeas corpus was issued upon the petition of plaintiff in error for the custody of his infant son, James Kim­ ball Marshall Cormack. The petition alleged that petitioner was father of the child and that it was illegal!}" de­ tained by its grandfather, T'.iomas Marshall, defendant in error. A bear­ ing was bad on the return to the writ and answer to the return, and an order and judgment entered by the court, finding that it was for the best interests and welfare of said infant that defend­ ant in error have its care and custody, that he was entitled to it, and remand­ ing Jthe child to his eare, custody and control. On the supposition that an appeal or writ of error would not lie from that judgment, plaintiff in error presented an original petition to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus. By the return to trie writ in that court, defendant in error set out the record, proceedings and judgment of the cir­ cuit court, and relied upon them as a bar to the proceeding in the supreme court. The return also set out the cir­ cumstances of the child coming to the possession of defendant in error, and why he claimed to be entitled to retain the care and custody of it. The su­ preme court referred the case for the taking of testimony and upon consid­ eration of the case after the testimony was reported, concluded that the judg­ ment in the proceeding in the circuit court was a bar. It was held to be a final judgment and that a writ of error would lie to review it Cormack vs. Marshall 211 111. 519. Thereupon plaint­ iff in error sued out this writ of errror. It is unnecessary for us to discuss the question of the right to prosecute this writ of error, as that question was set­ tled by the supreme court in its opin­ ion, where a large number of cases on the subject were cited and reviewed, and besides, this right is not questioned here. Nor will it be necessary for us to make a detailed statement of all the facts as they will be found elaborately stated in the opinion of the supreme court before referred to. True, as stated by counsel for defendant in error, the evidence taken and reported to the supreme court was not the evidence heard by the circuit court, but we take it trom the statement of facts made by that court, that there wa» no material difference in the testimony taken on ihe two occasions. One of the most mater­ ial questions to be determined is wheth­ er plaintiff in error was a fit and capa­ ble person to have the care, custody and control of his own child. He is a min­ ister of the gospel in the M. E. church and the evidence shows him to be a man of education and culture, now aged 50 years. Besides attending the State Agricultural college of Kansas, he was graduated from the classical course in the "Northwestern Unive'.sity, is also a graduate of the Garret Biblical institute, ami was ordaiued an elder in 1888. He was married to Jennie Mar­ shall, mother of the infant whose cus­ tody is the subject of this litigation, in 1884. She was the daughter of the de­ fendant in error. Two children were born of this marriage, Joseph, now twelve years old, and Kimball, the child in controversy, who was born February 18, 1900, in the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago, where the mother had gone to remain during her confinement, and where she died on the third day of March following. The infant was left in the hospiral for a few weeks to be nursed and cared for there. A few days after the death of Mrs. Cormack, plaint­ iff in error received word that his father was very ill in Kansas. He went there at once and remained there until after his father'8 death and burial. The child was not doing very well and on his re­ turn here Mrs. Ernest, a sister of the deceased Mrs. Cormack, agreed to take care of it if plaintiff would secure a woman to help her. This he did, and he and Mrs. Ernest went to the hospi­ tal together, got the child and took it to Mrs. Ernest's home. The woman that plaintiff in error had employed to help her, left after a few days and the child being in poor health, and; Mrs. Ernest having an infant of her own to care for, took Kimball to her parents, de fendant in error and his wife, and left htm there. This she did without the knowledge of the plaintiff in error. Wheu he learned the child was at the home of its grandparents, he visited it there. There it rapidly regained its health and became a vigorous and ro­ bust infant Plaintiff in error testifies that after it had been there some two months or more he told the grandpar­ ents he would want to take the child away and that they requested him to leave it Until it was stronger. He did not, however, have any arrangements made for a place to take it, to have it cared for at that time. He continued to visit it at frequent intervals until his second marrirge, which occurred in September, 1902. After that time, wish­ ing to take the child to his own family and under his own care, he requested defendant in error to deliver it to him, which request was refused, and there­ upon this proceeding was begun. It is not denied that both parties to this controversy were fit and proper persons to have the care, custody and control of a child. The grounds upon which the defendant in error insists he has a right to retain the custody of the child are set forth in his return to the writ, and in ^substance the material parts are that plaintiff Ih error lived some distance from his deceased wife's relatives and practically abandoned the child to their care; that defendant in error was in excellent finandial condi­ tion, owning besides other real estate and personal property, between six and seven hundred acres of farm land, free from incumbrance, worth $75 per acre; lives in a large and convenient house; that he and his wife are each abq.ut71 years of age, are in good health and are enjoying their home life with an ample income to provide for all the reasonable wants of their family during the re­ mainder of their lives; that when the child was about one year old, he had a talk with its father about its care and custody, in which the father said de­ fendant in error was as much responsi­ ble for the care of the child as he was and that he replied that he would keep it; that defendant in error and his wife had become much attached to the child and that it was his purpose to furnish it all the reasonable advantages of ed­ ucation and development that his means would furnish and suitably provide for it out of his estate at death. The re­ turn further averred that the plaintiff in error was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church and had been so oc­ cupied about twenty years; that he then was receiving a salary of $750 per year and use of parsonage; that he had an­ other son and had married another wife about thirty years of age of deli­ cate health; that on account of his pro­ fession he was required to move from place to place and had. expressed the opinion that he could not keep up the work a great many years; that he was nearly fifty years of age and is now re­ ceiving a smaller salary than he had formerly received on account of not being able to secure as good positions as formerly; that he bad no sufficient means to procure a home and support his family but must depend upon his own efforts or contributions from friends to support them and because of his profession and habits of life is unfitted to earn any considerable in­ come in any other occupation or call­ ing; and that plaintiff in error cannot "reasonably expect with his limited means and prospects to care for and educate such child, either in his own or any other family, in a manner that will secure the best care,- development and education of the child." Counsel for defendant in error dis­ claim relying on his possession of great­ er wealth as a sufficient or principal reason why he should be allowed to re­ tain the custody of the child, yet an examination of the return made to the writ will show that the only charge of unfitness of plaintiff in error to have the care and custody of his own child is his limited means. It is true he is not a man of large means, but the evi dence shows him to be a frugal "man and of good financial sense and judg­ ment. He worked his Way through college- and obtained his education through his own efforts, unaided from any other source, and although since entering the ministry his salary has ranged from |900 to |750 per annum and Jtipuse rent, he is the owner of some $3,w0 worth of real estate, about the same amount of money loaned, a $2,000 library, $850 cash, household furniture and some other personal property. All this is the savings, according to the testimonys from his own earnings, ex­ cept $500 his first wife had when he married her. If the possession of wealth is to be considered an important element in the determination of the EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY AMD ADJACENT COUNTIES. (Continued on page fou .)

During the noon hour last Thursday the fine residence of H. L. Waterman at Ringwood was burned to the ground. The occupants of the house were sit­ ting at the dinner table when a neigh­ bor's boy came in. He had entered the house but a few minutes when he asked Mr. Waterman what was burning, say­ ing that he smelt smoke. Mr. Water man went out and noticed smoke pour­ ing from the second story of his resi­ dence andrushed back into the house and up stairs. Upon opening a door of a store room he was met by a cloud of smoke bursting upon him. Without thinking, he proceeded down stairs as fast as he could after a pail ot water, leaving the door to the room open, thus giving the fire a greater start thru the breeze which entered the room. By this time a crowd of men, women and children had gathered at the scene, every one of whom put forth their best efforts to put a check to the rapidly progressing flames and removing the contents of the house. Before the hard­ working neighbors and friends could realize what had happened the beauti­ ful home was converted into a pile of mere ashes, although about one-half of the household goods had been saved. The house was built about twelve years ago and was one of the handsom­ est in Ringwood. It was insured in the Phoenix Insurance company for $1,500. The furniture was also partly covered by insurance. Mr. Waterman will re. build early next spring. After the fire was over J. S. Brown came over and treated the crowd who had gathered to ice cream. CARD OF THANKS. We, the undersigned, wish to extend our sincere thanks to .the many kind friends and neighbors who lent us help during our misfortune last Thursday. Especially we wish to thank Mr. J. S. Brown for his kindness in serving the helpers to ice cream after the fire. Their efforts to save our home from des­ truction are iuost earnestly appreciated. MR. AND MRS. H. L. WATERMAN. Photographic Hint*. When about to sit for a photograph the question often arises, "What is the best time?" or "How shall I dress?" Generally speaking, the best time is that time when you feel perfectly at ease with the world and with yourself, and when you have plenty of time. Your picture represents the state of mind you are in, and when you are in a hurry and flurried your likeness will bear a wearied' expression which will eventually put you to the trouble of go­ ing through the same operation again. Ladies who have to do a great deal of shopping, gentlemen who have their heads full of business, children who are scared out of their wits by telling t.bem in advance to be nice and still on penalty of being punished, are apt to have anything but a peaceful! expres sion. Take it perfectly easy and you will be repaid by a likeness which is true and shows you at your best. As to the time of the day morning hours are always the best, particularly when the season is far advanced and the light is bad in the afternoon. A , bright day is not necessary to secure a goqd photo. The time when we had to watch for sunshine has passed away since the in­ troduction of the instantaneous process, A light cloudy day is not objectionable. In fact, the light is often best when the heavens are clouded. Dress with care and good taste. A good many sitters do not consider as to how materials, colors and style of costume will appear in the finished portrait. The result is often a picture which cannot look nat­ ural to themselves or to' their friends who are not used to see them that way. It is well to avoid large plaids, checks, wide stripes, glittering trimming and much jewelry. Sharp contrasts in ma­ terials, trimming and style of cut are a decided detriment to a pleasing por­ trait, and as a rule, the touch of color should harmonize with the sitter's com­ plexion and hair. Next to the dress comes in the hair for a goodly share of your attention particularly in bust heads. It would not do for a broad face to dress the hair low on the fore­ head or at the sides. Neither would it be advisable in case of a long neck to dress the hair high, it would only make the neck look longer, while the lower arrangement of the hair would change the whole effect THE HILLE PHOTO STUDIO, McHenry, 111.
