McHenry County Farmers' Institute Be Held at Harrarri, 8 and #. The State Horticultural society hr ldg its annual meeting at Urbana, Dec. 8-18. \ The Algonquin school has introduced the subject of agriculture iuto its course of study. A large number of Harvard people accowpani>Hi their winning basket ball teams in their trip to Woodstock on i«st Friday evening. All reports are to the. effect that the ganies were unusually interesting aud abounded in good play­ ing and good spirit. Thereds some talk among the school men of the county of encouraging the formation of a circuit or schedule of games for basket ball that shall take in all the graded schools of the county and carry tne games Well into th6 closing months of the school year. This is a go»>d idea. The couutry schools uiight try the plan with profit. Miss Grace M. Hill recently took charge of the school in the Delehanty district in the town of liartlsnd. The place was made vacant by the resigna­ tion of Miss Margaret Costello. The Crystal Lake schools will remain closed nutil after the holidays. The epidemic of scarlet fever is somewhat abated according to recent reports, but the hoards of health ami education deem it wise to be a little late rather than early in resuming regular school work. The school at Algonquin has also been close.1 on account of the prevalence of the same disease in its locality. No serious resnlts. however, have been re­ ported from the latter community. The prompt action of the board in Algonquin is to be commended. It wonld be well if more boards of directors in the country districts fol lowed the example of ^he schpol board of the Montelona school, west of Rich mond, aud fumigated their bnildiugs. This can be done at a slight -cost. Tlit< school board in the Evergreen district in the town of Seneca has a praiseworthy custom of thoroly scrubbing the interior of the building twice a mouth. Pre vention is cheaper than remedies. The farmers of Greenwood and vicin­ ity will hold a meeting at the school house in Greenwood on Saturday, Dec. 19. There will be three sessions, morn ing, afternoon and evening A good program is being prepared and a large attendance is looked for. The ladies of Greenwood will furnish dinner and supper at popular prices. You can't afford to miss this meeting. Hebron and Alden will hold theif local farmers' meetings on Wednesday, Jan. 6. Great preparations are being made for these meetings and all who atteud will be royally entertained. Don't forget the date. The McHenry County Farmers' in stitnte will hold its annual meeting at Harvard on Friday and Satnrday, Jan. 8 and 9. A gotxl program has been pre pared and every person chat attends will be hospitably entertained. Har­ vard's reputation for hospitality has long been established and it will live up to its prevailing high standard at this coming event. Among the speakers from abroad will be such men as Prof. Johnson, of the State Engineering de­ partment, Rev. Lyle, of Farmer Chan-^ tanqna fame, and Prof. Lee, of the agricultural colleges of the state uni­ versity. Farmers, you can ill afford to miss the benefits to be derived from these meetings. Furthermore, the meeting can ill afford to miss you. It needs yon to make the thing a success. Miss Margaret Desmond, who teaches in the South Dnnham school, held a very successful social at her school house on last Friday evening. An unus­ ually goad program was rendered. The flag drill at. the close showed that much time and effective training had been be­ stowed on the pupils and with gratify­ ing results. The baskets were sold at the close of the literary part of the pro­ gram. Chas. Sullivan, who is a veteran auctioneer, had charge of the selling and this was a guarantee of the financial success of the undertaking. Miss Flavin was present and as nsnal caught ie|>eat- ed encores with her songs. The social was a success in every respect. The local teachers' meeting that was scheduled for Harvard for Saturday. Dec, 19, has been postponed until Satnr day, Jan. 23. At the Methodist Ohnrrli. The subject of the sermon next Sun­ day morning will be "Beauty For Ashes." The Snnday school meets at the nsnal time, 10:00o'clock. The even­ ing service, from seven to eight, will be an illustrated talk on the life of Christ by the pastor, Rey J H Ailing. Store- opticou illustrations, a Christmas ser­ vice. The Sunday school will have an "Egyptian Christmas'" this year, with a pyramid and an elephant, on Christmas eve. A collection will be takeu, to be divided between the Sunday school and the Lake Bluff orphanage. All are in vited to each of these services.

Dono vau of Woodstock, has successfully passed the state bar examination and is now admitted to practice before the courts of Illinois. David JSichlor, one of Woodstock's oldest aud best knowu citizens, passed away on Wednesday of li^st week. He was eighty eight years old the Monday preceding his death. The Borden Condensed Milk company has rented the factory at Zeuda. which will be thoroly overhauled, fitted up with new machinery and managed by that company for a term of years 'it is a splendid site for a factory, as th^ best milk in goodly quantities is pro dnced in that section. Gen. .John M. Wilson, of the United States army, told some sweet girl grad nates that 3,045 women in the United States are preaching the gospel, 113 are wood choppers, 34 are hrakemen, 91 sex­ tons, 5,000 -barbers, 8 makers of steel boilers, 10 baggage masters and 45 lo­ comotive engineers, besides other odd occupations. Farmers of Lake county, III., who ship much milk to Chicago, are organ­ izing to fight the Chicago lioard of health's new rule that after Jan. 1 only milk from cows that have stood a test for tuberculosis will be admitted to the city. A meeting was held last week, which aroused interest, and another will be held this week. ^ Crystal Lake Herald; Every citizen of Crystal Lake will be glad to hear that the American Terra Cotta and Ceramic company has secured the con­ tract for furnishing all the terra cotta for both the interior and exterior of the big new North-Western depot to be built in Chicago. It means a rnn of a year or more on the job. The new special delivery stamp, which will be placed on sale within the next ten days, measures about one inch square and is of a dark green color. Rnnnini' diagonally across its face is an illustration of au olive branch, the the leaves of which eutwine a Mfercury hat, symbolic of peace and haste. In the upper left hand corner is the in­ scription "10," while in the lower right hand corner are the words "U. S. Post­ age, Special Delivery." Crystal Lake Herald: Scarlet feyer in Crystal Lake has been checked. There have been reported a total of 26 cases, all except a few of very mild form, and all being in the eight homer, that were given in the Herald last week as under quarantine, with the exception of Chas. Pinnow, living south of Crys­ tal Lake, six of whose children are ill with the disease. The little son of Fred McGales is very seriously sick with the fever. Genoa Junction Times: While out hunting, the first of the week, Joseph Schuren shot a crane that measures five feet, three inches in its sock less feet. The bird has very brilliant plumage and Joe plans to have it tuonnted. The crane is supposed to be partial to a cli­ mate considerably less frigid than that which we are new enjoying, and why this particular specimen was sojourning in our midst is furnishing material for the local sportsmen's debating club. Another test was made last week of the gas takeu from the well on the No­ lan farm in Alden. A quantity of the gas was placet! in a tank and brought to the hard ware store of Marshall Bros.' in Harvard It was tested as to the qnality of light it would produce, the resnlts being satisfactory in every re­ spect. the light being clear and of sufficient strength to surprise many who saw it. The gas well remains much the same, the gas retaining its full pressure as demonstrated from tests made by various parties, some of them coining from Hebron to satisfy them­ selves that the pressure was as repre­ sented. t Win. Haremski, a farmer of Bureau county, accidentally shot and killed his neven year-old danghter while shooting at a rabbit. The little girl and her brother were out with their father and were playfnlly running back and forth. At t.hp time the accident occurred, t 'elia was in advance of her father and had concea'ed herself liehind a large tree. She jumped out from behind the tree jn^t as her father shot at a rabbit, and received the full charge of shot, death ensuing three honrfe later.

PlHW Away In Chicago After & Month's Illness. Miss Mary A. Blattman, danghter of Mrs. Geo. Hchreiner of this place, passed away at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Srhreiner at 530 West 63nd street '.n Chicago ou Monday evening of this week after a month's suffering. Miss Blattman was taken seriously ill about a month before death relieved her intense sufferings. Her condition at one time gave those nearest and dearest to her every reason to believe that recovery was near, but no sooner had these consoling thoughts sought a resting place ere a change for the worse came, the angel of death bringing an end to her pains at the above mentioned time. The deceased wis borft in McHenry April 9. 1S80, making her. 48, years, 8 months ami 5 days-of age at the time of her death; At the age of seventeen she went to Chicago, where she has al­ most continually resided up to the time of her death. On October 25, 1886, she was united in marriage to Jacob Hananers. The remains were brought to Mc­ Henry on the live o'clock traiu Tuesday evening and were taken to the home of her mother. The funeral was held from St. Mary's Catholic church this (Thursday) morning at 9:30, the Rev. A. Rover officiating. The pall bearers were Messrs Henry Heimer; J. N. Miller, M M. Niesen, Wm. Stoffel, J. N. Gilbert and John Pint. Interment took place in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. Miss Blattman was held in the highest Hsteem by all who knew her, and her departure from this life caused deep sadness in the hearts of the members of her family and her relatives and friends. She is survived by a grief stricken mother, two brothers, John Blattman, tnd W G. Schreiner, and one sister, Mrs. Susie Smith. CAKI) OF THANKS.

Harvard Indej>endent: Last week's issue of the Woodstock Republican was fairly bristling with ads and Editor C. A. Lemmers fonntl it necessary to get out a twelve-page paper in order to accommodate advertisers and at the same time supply his subscribers with plenty of reading matter. One of the features of this issue was a double page ad for M. N. Wien, one of the mer­ chants of that city. A double page ad iu a couutry paper is a rarity, and we are glad that it regained for Mr. Lem­ mers. who is the dean of the McHenry county editors, to do it up right in his paper. We are gratified that Bro. Lem­ mers is getting to the front in such fine shape, for he is the best posted, hardest working newspaper man in the county and deserves good, big hunks of success, llis printing establishment at the county seat is admirably well equipped aud when it comes to turning out work of a superior grade, in the shortest possible time, toe doesn't take a back seat for any office outside of the big city plants.

Robert Thompson, who, during the winter months does considerable trap­ ping, was startled last Friday morning to find a real liTe opossum in one of his traps that he had set near his home at Barreville. The animal was carefully removed from the trap and is now be­ ing exhibited with great pride by its Captor. The animal is of good sixe and would be a fine specimen for any of the larger parks. This is probably the first animal of its kind to be captured in the county in many years. See the holiday display ^t Block & Bethke's ' '• Notice!

We learn that Doc McLean assaulted a man with an axe in a saloon at Gen­ eva Lake, Wis., one day last week, in­ dicting a wound which may prove fatal. One report says that he has since died McLean is now in this village, and claims to have done it in self defense. These are all the particulars we have been able to learn. The red skies of the past two or three weeks are a puzzling phenomenon for the meteorologist. It was no ordinary condition which produced the glowing sunsets over the whole continent of North America, and how much further we know not. The red was not in local clouds, but in the sky above the clouds. The "yellow day" of two or three years ago was less general aud was caused by the smoke of the Canadian woods. In this case we can guess that some mighty volcanic disturbance has thrown a vast layer of gas or dust 4nto the uppqr strata of the air, such as was supposed some days after the Java convulsion, to have caused the "green sun" in India. Or we may conjecture that the eatth has struck a region of meteoric dust, re­ flection from which produces the gen­ eral effect. Any conjecture, however, has its difficulties, and tbe phenomenon is likely to be carefully studied. "Have we a board of school direc­ tors T" is a question that would nat­ urally arise in the minds of any person on learning that tbe principal of our pnblic school was obliged, on the first real cold day of the year, to himself work a full half day replacing broken glass in tbe windows, in order to keep out the snow and wind. The principal of our school was obliged to do just this on Monday last, and it certainly is no credit, to say the least, to our efficient board. We believe it is the duty of the directors to see that the school rooms are in a comfortable condition for both scholars and teachers, and certainly thf upper room in our public school build­ ing is not. When scholars will shiver with tbe cold and the lunch in their dinner pails freeze in a solid mass as they did on Monday last, it is high time that some one woke up to the situation. The facts are the stoves in this room have been worn out for the past five years, and are entirely inadequate to sufficiently heat the room to make it comfortable. Then why this false econ­ omy in not buying new stoves? Is the health of the children of no importance* Again we ask, "ttave we a board of school directors among us?"' A choice display of Mrs. R. N.

Charlee Whit, ney of Waukegan will receive the solid support of the people of Lake county in his candidacy for a circuit judgeship. Mr. Whitney is well and favorably known thruout the entire district and will without doubt receive a good sub­ stantial vote in Winnebago, Boone and McHenry counties, besides he will have the undivided support of bis own coun­ ty and is likely to prove 4 formidable candidate. t The board of supervisors of Lake county at a recent meeting pledged themselves to do everything possible to secure a circuit judgeship for Lake county and declared Mr. Whitney to be their choice without a dissenting vote. • The County Central committee last week also endorsed, his candidacy in the following manner: "At the coming judicial election in June, 1909, in the'district composed of Lake, Winnebago, McHenry and Boone counties. Lake county is in line to play an important part, with a population second only to Winnebago county, with a court business equal to if not greater than any other county in the judicial district, and with Charles Whitney of Waukegan a@ Lake county's candidate for judicial honors, we feel that we are in rightful position to ask the voters of the district for representation for the circuit bench, and to that end, we, the Republican ceutral committee of Lake county, pledge our loyal and hearty support to Mr. Whitney's candidacy and to whatever in his opinion will work to his advantage." It is admitted that Lake county has been without a resident circuit judge for twelve years and that the circuit court docket of that couuty is the larg­ est of any in the four counties (contain­ ing 380 cases) and greater than that of Boone and McHenry together, and being second in size and population the aver­ age voter will be inclined to believe that there is merit in the claims made by that county for a circuit judge.
