We leara that a potato digger has been sent here so that farmers may be able to see its workings and judge of its value. It can be found at the farm of Henry Mead, just west of this village, where all interested are invited to call and see it. Happening into the shop of T. J. Clif­ ton one day last week-, we were shown sOme horse shoes of different styles, made by Mr. Clifton, which we think would be hard to beat. There was the heavy shoe of the work horse and the light plate for the trotter .and runner and for shape "and finish were perfection itself. The new and tasty fence now being built in front of the cemetery will be a great improvement and one that has long been needed. Over the carriage entrance is to be a large circle, on which will be painted the name of the ceme­ tery. F. A. Hebard is doing the worfak When completed it will present as hand- an some appearence as any cemetery in (his section. Farmers hereabouts are as a class complaining of the lack of help.

Some miserable cuss has said that the farmers have got so in the habit of grumbling that having this year abundant crops and good prices they have Deen forced to fall back on scarciry of help as the only thing they can possibly grumble at. But we don't believe this. Not all of it. Croup is quickly relieved, and Whoop­ ing Cough will not "run its course" if you use the original Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar. This Cough Syrup is different from all others because it acts on the bowels. You can not cure Croup and Whooping Cough until you rid the system of all congestion, by working off the cold through a copious action of the bowels. Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar does this, and cures all Coughs, Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. No opiates. Sold by N. H. Petesch, Mc­ Henry and G. W. Besley, West Mo- Henry. This is the season of the year when the pestiferous city cow runs about o'nights and unhinges gates, explores your gardens, eats up everything found lying around loose in your back yard from a cabbage leaf to your Sunday lin­ en, and even the clothes line, nothing save the grind stone escaping her vora­ cious maw. We overheard one of our neighbors at 6 o'clock Sunday morning shouting scriptural remarks at a bovine intruder in a fearful manner.

V More than half of mankind over sixty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlargement of prostate gland. This is both painful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it corrects irregularities and has cured many old men of this disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett, Rock Port, Mo., writes: "I suffered with enlarged pros­ tate glands and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure I feel better than I have for twenty years, although l am now 91'years old."

It was not very notice­ able, so small were the flakes, but never­ theless they were there and codld be seen when looking towards some dark object.

North-Eastern Journal: Mr. Blancb- ard, who resides on Walter Carey's farm on English Prairie, while engaged in leveling down a small knoll back of his stables, unearthed three skeletons last week. Two were dug out on Friday and the nextkday another one was dis­ covered. They are supposed to be the remains of Indians as the oldest settlers here do not know of any whites being buried in that neighborhood. WhiU the different skeletons were distinguish­ able it impossible to assemble them in regular form, as they crumbled easi­ ly on being handled. Last spring Jack Warner found a skeleton supposed also to have been an Indian, on the Sanborn farm. # A Michigan editor who grew tired of wielding the whitewash brasE in the matter of obituaries decided to reform and tell the truth just once. He com­ mented as follows on the death of a well known man: "Died, , aged 50 years, 6 months and 18 days. De­ ceased was a mild mannered pirate with a month for whisky and an eye for boo­ dle. He came here in the night with another man's wife, and joined the church at the first chance. He owed us several dollars for the paper, a large grocery bill, and you could hear him pray six blocks. He died singing 'Jesus paid it all,' and we think he is right, as he never paid anyone himself. He was buried in an asbestos casket and bis friends threw palm leaf fans into his grave instead of flowers. His tomb stone will be the favorite roosting place for hoot owls." An enterprising dry goods dealer in one of the coast towns of New Jersey has pnt into effect an idea that !fs a lit­ tle ahead of up to-dak*. He keeps a man in his store all night to take orders sent in by the telephone. The merchant argues that persons making their plans in the evening for the next day fre­ quently find themselves wanting some­ thing furnished by a department store By this novel serVice his establishment can be called at any hour and goods or­ dered to be delivered very early in the morning. His assumption has been jus­ tified by numerous orders and the ex­ pression of general satisfaction by his neighbors. By this means the clerks are also benefited as none are requested to stay late in the evening except the one luan. It is said that this plan may be adored in several places to shorten the b?nr^o| clerks in retail etejrff, A MUCH CHEAPER FUEL. OaantltlM of Peat In Lake County Beds-- Demonstrations at Grayslake. Grayslake Times: J. L. Keenan of Chicago, who conducted a tea and coffee store in this place about three years ago and who is well known here, was in Grayslake several days last week inves­ tigating the peat land in this vicinity and at the same time endeavoring to get some of onr citizens interested in form­ ing a company and establishing a plant in this place for the manufacture of peat briquets, or pressed peat cones. J Ttffe demonstration given by Mr. Kee­ nan iu tho passenger room of the Wis­ consin Central depot last Friday even­ ing was witnessed by about twenty-five of Grayslake's leading citizens. The large cannon stove in use at the depot was filled with about the same amount of kindling as is required for starting a soft coal fire, and after this was started a small ooal hod fnll of the briquets were thrown in. After burning about ten minutes a steady and terrific heat resulted, and a total absence of smoke, gas and soot was noticed. The audience didn't stay to see how long the fuel would burn, but Mr. Keenan says the briquets will hold fire equally as well and burn just as long as hard coal. Another exhibition was given at A. D. Buell's blacksmith shop Saturday morning. Both demonstrations were successful and apparently satisfactory to all who saw them. The advantages claimed for peat fuel are its cleanliness, its being all flame with no smoke, soot, sulphur nor clink­ er. It is pressed in such shapes that it can be used in ranges, cook stoves, fur­ naces, hard coal self-feeders and fire places, it being pressed in long or short log-like shapes or in small circular pieces suitable for self-feeding heating stoves.- The greatest advantage of peat over coal is its cheapness, it is claimed that it can be made at an actual cost of $1 per ton, and can be put on the mar­ ket and sold at trom $4 to $6 and leave the manufacturer a big profit. Peat is formed by the slow decay of vegetable matter in the presence of water--grasses, mosses, reeds, roots, etc. Vegetation dies at the bottom and grows at the top. Peat beds build up in this manner until sometimes they become as much as 100 feet in depth. The average depth is from five to fifty feet. This vegetable matter undergoes a process of "carbonization, "or turning into coal, whenever it lies under water, so that it changes but really does not decay at all. When it does decay it forms rich soil. If it changes without rotting it is transformed into peat That is the whole explanation. Peat is the first stage of coal. Hundreds of good peat bedB can be found in Lake county that are now non-productive but which may eventually develop into ver itable gold mines. Thousands of acres of good peat land are located on what is called "The Sag" near Grayslake, and the Shanks farm is saiH to contain a large number of ex cellent peat beds. An expert will be here from Chicago soon, so the Times is informed, who will thoroughly investi­ gate these lands and analyze the soil, and will report to the Illinois Peat Fnel Co. at Chicago.

The old world's rosy vision of the new is made the motif of a story by Albert Kinross in October McClure's. "Amer­ ica: A Story" tells with half-smiling pathos of a crippled poet's dream of our great golden country, whence comes the only recognition of his literary accom­ plishments. It is a curiously moving tale written from the inside of the craft of letters but full of a universal human­ ity that gives its tragedy power to pull the heart. Dr. Finn's Testimony Interesting:. Dr. Thomas Finn, of Boonsboro, Mo., who has practiced medicine for 82 years, says be has used every prescription known to the profession for treatment of kidney and bladder diseases, and says he has never found anything so effective in both chronic and acute kidney and bladder troubles as Foley's Kidney Cure.

A business change of more than or­ dinary importance took place in onr village last Tuesday ^rhen N. J. Justen and C. Ostrander "swapped" theif Main street propertied, the latter getting the store building now occupied by N. J. Justen as a furniture store, while Mr. Justen moves across , the street to the building which is at present occu­ pied by John Adams & Sons as a meat market. Upon approaching Mr. Justen upon the subject he informed a Plaindealer representative that he intends to lower the building to the street and also make other extensive improvements about the building, among them being a new plate glass front, He will oontinue his furniture business in the building, hut on a larger scale than ever b&ore. Mr. Ostrander has already rented the N. J. Justen furniture store to John Stoffel, who will occupy the same with bis West Side grocery store. John Adams & Sons will move their meat market to the Henry Colby building on Water street. When all the changes have been made it will make a great improvement to onr village and we believe that all will be materially benefited thereby. .

Taken by Surprise. Anton Schneider, the popular Water street grocery man, was very pleasantly reminded of his 42nd birthday anniver­ sary last Thursday evening. Just as he was about to close his place of business and retire for the evening % large num­ ber of his friends called upon him in a body, taking htm completely by sur prise. It was not long, however, before the victim had sufficiently recovered from the shock to be able to accompany his guests over to Buch's hall, which place had been selected to be the scene of the evening's enjoyment. Dancing proved the most interesting amusement, Mr. and Mrs. ChriB Hapke and Fred Bishop hhving been previously engaged to appear at the hall furnish the music, which they did in a highly ap predated manner. The merry company continued with the pleasures which the evening afforded until far past the mid night hour. The event was one of the most enjoyable ever held in McHenry and the company extended the host many kind compliments for his hospi­ table manner of entertaining his guests. The event will long be remembered by those who had the pleasure attendance. y OUR WEEKLY PICK-UK ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN DURING THE WEEK.
