QUARTER OF A CENTURY Item Clipped Fran The Plaindealer Of Twenty-Fire Years Ago ' ' " Edwin Perkins is reported as quite sick at this writing. Miss Mary Block has been on the sick list the past few days. Rev. Father O'Neil, pastor of the Catholic church in this village, is re­ ported as having an attack of la- grippe. ^ The Plaindealer issued an edition of 3,300 copies last week and then did not have enough to supply de­ mand. During the fire at the residence of Clarence Cobb on Saturday last some person appropriated a lady's gold watch and a purse containing a small sum of money. One of the most social gatherings of the season was the golden wed­ ding of James Morton and wife, which occurred at their home on the evening of Feb. 4, 1892. Died--At the home of her daugh­ ter, Mrs. Daniel Douglas, in Adams, N. Y., Feb. 7, 1892, Frances A. Van Slyke, mother of J. Van Slyke, ed­ itor of The Plaindealer, aged 92 years, 4 months and 22 days. About half past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon the house occu­ pied by Clarence Qffbb, on the West Side, and owned by the John Hogan estate, was discovered to be on fire, but help being promptly on hand it was extinguished with slight dam­ age, with the exception of "the break­ ing of doors and windows. The fire caught from some clothes hanging near a stove, the family being away from home at the time. Had this occurred in the night the house would have been totally distroyed. January 27, 1892 / Jacob Bonslett has been sick and confined to the house for the past few days. Geo. W. Eldredge of Richmond was a caller here on Saturday. He is a candidate for member of the state board of equalization. We learn that Will Dunnill killed a large timber wolf on Pistakee lake a few days ago. This kind of game is getting rare in this section.. Our regular January thaw made its appearance last week and the conse­ quence is people have been obliged to lay up their cutters and return to wheels. Jacob Meyers of Johnslpirg had the misfortune to lose one of his horses while drawing ice on the pond on Monday. The horse fell in and broke his leg, which necessitated his being shot. The brewery has its ice houses all full of first-class ice and this week will probably see all the other private ice houses in this village filled. There has been no better ice harvested here for years. James Kenaelly, a former resident of this place, died in Chicago on Sun­ day of typhoid fever. He was about forty years of age. "His funeral was held from the Catholic church in this village on Tuesday and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. H. Miller & Son are today putting up a fine monument for E. Tower of Volo in memory of his father and mother. They are also getting out two large monuments for Peter Fry and for the late W. D. Givens of Woodstock. For fine work in this line Miller A Son are not surpassed in the northwest. F. L. Buck, fish warden, in com­ pany with T. J. Smith, fish warden from Antioch, have been making a tour of the lakes and report that there has been no fishing done thru the ice, for which they are very glad. At no place did they find where even holes had been cut, except on Pista­ kee lake, where they found four holes but no hooks or any signs of any fish-* ing. ' ' . . ;" • The postage stamp will celebrate its fifty-second anniversary on May 6. Its invention is due to a printer, J. Chalmers of Dundee, Scotland, who died in 1853. England, fifty-two years ago, introduced the new system of prepaying letter postage and ac­ cording to a decree of Dec. 21, 1839, issued the first ptamps which were to be put before the public on May 6 of the following year. A year later they were introduced in the United States and Switzerland and within three years had become comm6n in Bavaria, Belgium and France. SCHOOL BURNS Fire Destroys Structure at Car pen- tersville Monday Elgin papers of Monday evening reported that the three story brick school building at CarpentersviHe had be^n totally destroyed by fire. The fire started about 9:30 Afonday morning and fortunately the school had been closed in honor of Lincoln's birthday. The loss is estimated at $25,000, partly covered by insurance. Ad­ joining schools at Dundee and Elgin are crowded to the doors and the school board is trying to make suit­ able arrangements for 300 children from the first to seventh grades until another school building is erected. The public library may be used tem- porarilyv It is thought that the fire started from a defective chimney, as the fire started in the roof. At noon only the wall remained, which threatened to collapse any minute. The school consisted of eight rooms and a gym­ nasium. , Administrator's Notice Alford H. Pouse, Atty.
