WILBUR LUriBERCO. WEST McHENRY, ILLINOIS. Hrrrd wa re of every description at honest prices. F. L. McOMBER, SViSI A Wtifellanenm Auortneat of (t«ma In Coad«nn«d Corm For Oonvcn- len«e of Baay f*«oi>l«. The annaal hill climb at Algonqnin which was to have taken place this month has bee n postponed until Sep teuiber 18. Two dollarn per bnndred is the price which will probably be demanded by the Milk Producers' association for milk fo* the six months of the coming winter season. According to the Wanconda Leader, the people-of Lake Zurich are now con­ fronted with a second railroad proposi­ tion. The Leader warns its neighbors not to place too much confidence in the latest railroad proposition, bnt to exer­ cise every effort to land the first. That the city of Elgin will not stand for naughty pictures was shown one day last week when a bill poster in the employ of the Lake County Fair asso­ ciation was arrested and fined a dollar and costs for distributing "naughty" folders advertising the Lake county fair. It has been brought to light that the longest drought that ever occurred in i America was during the snrntner of 1762. No rain f^ll from May 1 to Sept. 1 that year, making 123 days withont rain. Many of the inhabitants were forced to send to England for hay and grain. Dysentery is a dangerous disease but can be cured. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has been successfully used in nine epidemics of dysentery. It has tiever been known to fail. It is equally valuable for chil dren and adults, and when reduced with water and sweetened, it is pleasant to take. Sold by all dealers. P. W. Ryan of Janesville, Wis., has been awarded the contract for doing all the grading on the new Waukegan, Roekford and Elgin railroad between Palatine and Wanconda. Work on the grading was started Wednesday of this week and, under the contract, must be finished by December 1. The contract for the grassing rspr6SoH,ts about 000. The season for shooting mourning doves and woodcock, the first of the feathered tribe which may be legally billed, opened on Aug. 1 and will ex tend to Nov. 30, a period of 120 days. This season it is permitted to sell doves for commercial purposes. The law pro­ vides, however, that not more than fif teen may be killed in one day by each hunter. The first frost will occnr in this sec­ tion about Sept. 15. There is no get­ ting away from it. The chirrup of the katydids has been heard for several weeks now, and according to the estab lished tradition the frost can be bnt six weeks away. The frost is inevitable; the katydids have spoken. The actions of the ground hog and the katydid are treated by hosts of people with a great deal more respect than the forecasting of the highest browed weather isharp that ever gazed at a thermometer. The katydid never fails, is the belief of many who watch for these signs. As the threshing season progresses good grain yields continue to be the re­ sult. The oats generally are turning out fine and the average crop thru the county, it is estimated by some, will be at least forty-two to forty-three bushels to the acre. Most crops have stood the unusually dry weather much better than could have been expected, the fact that the early season's rains soaked the earth full of water probably accounting for the fact that vegetation has not suffered more than it has. The drouth has been serious enough, it is true, but in spite of it the farmers report good crops of hay, oats and other small grain, tho co^n and potatoes will show a light yield. Taken as a whole, however, the crops generally thrnout this section will be much better than would ordi­ narily be the case following such a drouth.

ClaiirtH He Will H« Nominated by a Tre­ mendous Majority. The Joliet Herald is not owned by Col. Copley, although it is supporting his candidacy. In its Sunday edition of Aug 14, in speaking of the congression­ al campaign, it said: That Ira C Copley will be nominated as the Republican candidate for con­ gress by a tremendous majority is now generally accepted. Mr. Copley is viciously attacked by the political ring organ of Joliet, the support of which was offered Mr. Copley if he would re­ frain from opposing the reappointment of the present postmaster. Mr. Copley has steadfastly refused to recognize in any way the machine which fought against direct primaries and the right of the people to select their own repre­ sentative. Mr. Copley's reception all over the district proves he is generally accepted by Republicans as the cham­ pion of the people against the tyranny of political ring rule.
