In regard to it, the Chicago American has the following to say: "The Chicago, Des Plaines & Fox River railroad is a new enterprise. It has given the Western Trust and Union Saving bank a trust deed to its property to secure a bond issue of $1,000 000 to run 80 years with 5 per cent, in­ teract. It is understood the company will construct a road in a northwester­ ly direction, penetrating the Fox river valley, work to begin March 15, 1006. The funds derived from the bonds are for the purpose of constructing and operating the road." WEDDED FIFTY YEAllS EARt *4 c ItoriMr MeHMrjr KMIdtnU Celebrate - Fiftieth WaAdtns AssS^ersary. The following article from The Ma- seppa (Minn.)

Erwin, a rising attorney of Fair­ banks, Alaska, and Phy W. Erwin, now in the West, being too far away to at­ tend. Four of Mr. and Mrs. Erwin *s grandchildren, Mrs. Addie Sibley, Ted Madge and Georgia Erwin, will be pres­ ent, and one great-grandchild, little Fern Sibley. "The most notable guests at the cele­ bration of the anniversary will be Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Matthews of Wabasha, Minn., who were present at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Etwin fifty years ago. "Mr. and Mrs. Erwin were married December 86, 1855, at McHenry, III. Mrs. Erwin was Miss Margaret Isabella Reading and was born 65 years ago in West Candor, Tioga Co., N. Y. Mr. Erwin was 88 when united in marriage with Miss Reading. "In 186? Mr. and Mrs. Erwin oame to Wabasha county from Illinois, and for four years Mr.Erwin worked the Baldwin farm near Lake City. In 1875 he pur­ chased a farm in Bear Valley, where he lived until about eighteen years ago, when his right side was paralysed and he was compelled to sell his farm. Since that time Mr. Erwin and his faith­ ful wife have resided in this village and most of that time Mr. Erwin has been an invalid? "Congratulations will be offered plen­ tifully to Mr. and Mrs. Erwin upon this happy completion of a half oentury of wedded life. Both stand high in the esteem of this community. Mr. Erwin was a hard working, conscientious man, and bis wife is a good neighbor and kind friend to all who know her.

A city chap, passing by, remarked: "Your corn lo6ks kind of yellow." "Yes, sir, that's the kind we planted," answered the lad. "It don't look like you'd have more than half a crop," said the city chap. "Nope, we don't expect to; the landlord gets the other half." The stranger hesitated a-moment, and then be quietly ventured: "There isn't much difference between you and a fool. " "Nope, only a strip of weeds," said the farmer boy, and the city man drove on. In how short a time a tree can be con­ verted into a newspaper was tried re­ cently in Canada. Three trees were felled and taken to a paper factory. By 9:84 the first sheet of paper issued from the machines. The printing works 'o|. the nearest newspaper were about t ' o miles distant. The paper was carried there cm a motor car at full speed, the presses »6t to work, and exactly at 10 a. m. the newspaper was ready printed. The whole process from the forest to the reader thus occupied only the space of two hours and twenty-five minutes Woodstock Republican: Last Friday William Kindt met with an accident while Rawing wood with a buzz saw and gassoline engine that resulted in his death the same night. He was work­ ing with Ed. White and his machine at the family borne on the form, and the report is that the belt would not stay on the pulleys property, so a crowbar was takeflrand placed in such a way as to hold the belt in position. In some man­ ner the belt threw the crowbar, which struck Mr. Kindt on the head, removing a portion of the Bkull and inflicting a bad wound. 8urgeons were summoned to the soene, and ail was done that could be doae to relieve the suffering of the injured man, who passed away on Fri­ day evening. ' Rockford Star: "Don't drink the wa­ ter carried on railroad trains," is the advice of a prominent physician. "The fountains are seldom cleaned and the water is taken from convenient places along the route. I believe most of our typhoid fever cases can be traced to drinking the water supplied passengers on railroad trains." This recalls an in­ cident that happened not long ago on a certain train making the run to Chicago. A passenger complained that the water tasted like kerosene oil. The matter was reported to the company and an in­ vestigation showed that the man who put the ice in the fountains had cut his finger and bandaged the same with a cloth saturated with kerosene oil. The oil ran all over the ice and when put in the fountains had thoroughly impregnat­ ed the water. Passengers had been drinking this disease spreading dilution for several days. The moral is plain: Never drink from these fountains. If you are going on a trip, be it long or short, fill a pint bottle with water and take it with you. If you are going a considerable distance put a quart or two of mineral water id your gri$ ft may save a siege of sickness. . Mo Qaall Heating tor Lambert. About two weeks ago Lambert Q Seng, of Chicago (who is well and fa­ vorably known in McHenry) in company with a party of Chicago gentlemen went to Bloofnington, 111., on a quail hunt. Everything went along nicely until it came to trailing the game which proved too much of a strenuous lite for Lam­ bert. After the first day's hunt Mr. Seng decided to stay at home and nurse the baby rather than to tramp the fields for the quail. Hereafter when a fcnat ing trip is undertaken and there are any babies to be cared for it would be well to take Lambert along to care fbr them. They say that he makes a most excellent nurse. The smoke is on you this time, Lambert, and you can not get out of it. f.O. ~ ANSWERS ALMIGHTY'S GALL. Mr*. Philip Sntton Pannes Away After a Short Illness. Another of McHenry 'e old settlers answered the call of the Almighty last Friday morning at 7:30 cT'clock, at which time Mrs. Philip . Sutton passed to the Great Beyond, after an illness of only one week's duration. The di­ rect cause of her death was a general breaking down due to her advanced age, Mary Laughlan was born in the coon ty of Kilkenney, Ireland, about eighty years ago and at which* place she spent her childhood days. She was united in marriage to Mr. Philip Suttoii, Septem­ ber 2, I851a and came to this country at few years later, settling in McHetlry county. She has lived in McHenry and vicinity exclusively since her coming'to America. Ten children were born to bless the union, eight of whom are left to mourn.

Sayler--Colby.--At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Edward Sayler and Miss May Colby, both of McHenry. The wedding at Mr. N. S. Colby's on the 22nd of Dec., was a very pleasant one The guests began to arrive about 12:00 o'clock. There were about forty persons present and all seemed to be in the best of spirits, especially the bride The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. A. Adron, former pastor of the M. E. church, and, notwithstanding his being a bachelor, the ceremony was well performed and very impressive. The ceremony was a union of the old Episcopal and the Methodist, the ring being used instead of joining hands. After the ceremony and congratulations the bride and groom led the way to the table at which the company was served with a rich and bountiful repast After dinner the entire company took a good look at the fine display of presents to the happy couple, among which were the following: A silver castor and a book entitled Her Bright Future, from the bride's parents.

At St Patrick's parsonage, at eleven o'clock Christinas morning, ooeurred the marriage of Mr. Richard Givens to Mrs. Nelcena Nelson of Chicago, the ceremony being performed by Rev. P. M. O'Neill. The groom is the son of Mrs. Richard Givens, residing about three miles east of McHenry. He has always made his home with his mother, having charge of the farm. Mrs. Nel­ son has made Chicago her home and although coming to McHenry a mere stranger several weeks ago, she has, thru her kind disposition, made many warm friends. The couple will, for the present, make their home on the Givens farm, but are undecided as to future plans. A wedding reception, attended by a few of the immediate relatives, was tendered them at the home of Mrs. Richard Givens. Land Vnlnes Still llring The fanning lands of Illinois appear to have reached the limit at hlgt prices unless the last few sales should prove to be the top notch. Investors certainly see some desirable object in view or they would not pay the prices recorded below. Last week an, eighty- acre farm .near Kewanee sold for $179 pei acre. At an auction sale to close, out an estate three tracts of the Murch- ison farm, four miles southeast of Ke­ wanee, comprising 2604 acres, sold for 137,085.50. One hundred and sixty acres brought $158 an acre, eighty acres sold for $120 an acre, and a twenty-aud-one- balf-acre lot went at $181. Illinois land is certainly becoming valuable proper- ty.--jgfHpftpnauk Reveille. • . . • ' Oeeela*. . One nigtit only, Sunday eifferrtng,'Jfc#- uary 7, 1906, Christ Byrum & J. G.

' - ,'v mm Chicago Chronicle: By the unani­ mous approval and vote of 641 Catholic priests assembled in the third synod of the archdiocese of Chicago, changes and innovations in church legislation of all denominations were promulgated in accordance with the plans and policy of Archbishop Quigley. The new regulations, which were en­ acted by the synod in the Holy Name cathedral, North State and Superior streets, give the laity in every parish of the Chicago archdiocese representation in the administration of the finances, properties and temporal affairs of the, parish and establish trustees in every parish who will aid the pastors in the management of the properties. The trustees are to be two men of good standing in the church in every parish, who are to be selected after a consulta­ tion of the rector with the parishioners from a list prepared by them. The duties of these trustees are de­ fined and include the duty to co-operate with the rector in keeping books of the finances of the parish, pass upon exten­ sive improvements in building and prop­ erty and jointly with the pastor to issue and sign annual financial reports of the income and expenditures of the parish. They will be jointly responsible with the pastor of the parish for the financial and temporal condition of the parish to the archbishop, who will have the final indorsement and approval of their names when they are selected. No ex­ penditure of more than $200 and no debt beyond that amount shall under the new law be incurred by the pastor without the consent of the two trustees. The annual reports of the property and finances of each parish are to be signed by the rector and trustees. An important step decided upon is with reference to the parochial schools. A school commission was appointed and this commission was given authority to name parochial school inspectors. These parochial school inspectors will visit the various schools and will report both as to the buildipgs, property of the schools and also the methods of teaching. In this connection the school commis­ sion of fifteen priests named is under the new legislation required to make a general report of the condign of the schools to the archbishop and through him to the people of the archdiocese. The new rules and laws upon the paro­ chial schools in the Chicago archdiocese provide for the building up and man­ agement of the parochial schools under one central government, it being the expressed purpose that the parochial schools vie with the public school sys­ tem, not only in the number of school children in attendance, bnt in eyery other respect' Another enactment of vast import­ ance in the school field is the adoption of the requirement that in aill of the foreign-speaking .parishes the school children from the very beginning must be given instruction in Christian doc­ trine in the English language "in addi­ tion to the present method of teaching them the catechism in the language of their parents. This law of giving tech- nicalinstruction in the English language in the Germab, Polish, Bohemian, Ital­ ian, Frencb and other foreign-speaking parishes in the archdiocese is expected to enable the children to give reasons for their failh in the language of the country and enable them to defend the faith to non-Catholics > when they leave the parish schools./ - In response to an appeal of the papal delegate, urging that the present con­ ditions necessitate a greater outlay of money in supporting the church admin­ istration in Rome and the various works directly under the management of Rome, which appeal asked that greater interest be aroused in the people to con­ tribute to the support of the Roman pontiff and to defray the expenses of central administration of the church in in Rome, an important law Was enacted governing the collection of Peter's pence, which may become a precedent to all the archdioceses throughout the country. The regulation of the collec­ tion of the Peter's pence provides that each year the entire month of October i§ reserved for the collection for the pope and that no other collections for any other purpose will be allowed dur­ ing that month. The names of those contributing $1 or more will be sent to the chancery office from each parish and the amount contributed with the names will at the end of the year be embodied in a general printed report, which will contain the names of all contributors and copies of" which report will be distribated in churches throughout the archdiocese.

In some instances the reduction is slight, others the old rate hi sliced in two and in a number of casee the new rate is but two-fifths of the old. Within McHenry county there are six telephone companies, all operating eoc- changee or toll linee. They are aa fal­ lows: The Chicago Telephone oompanj of Chicago; the Union Light and Thome company of Nunda; the Woodstock Ex­ change and Telephone company of Woodstock; the McHeary County ifct- ephone company of Maredgo; the Farm* era' New Bra Telephone company of Hebron; and the Harvard 'Telephone, company of Harvard. • With the vari­ ous companies interested ift the genera! toll rate* many conferences were re­ quired before Mm new tariff waa adopt­ ed. t Despite the fact that there are air companies operating in this pounty, mutual agreements permit of prompt connections and, with practically no delay, residents in one district can oom- municate with others at distant points.
