Anthony Morten- son, in this yicinity, "were shocked and grieved to learn that he was drowned in Silver Lake, on Saturday evening last. It appears that Mortenson, together with fourteen "or fifteen others, one of them his brother, were bathing in the lake. The boys were having a good time, making lots of noise, and heard Mortenson cry out that he was drown­ ing, but as they had all been fooling no one realized the fact until they went out to dress, and he was missing. Search was immediately made and his body re­ covered and taken to his late home, on the Jones farm, about 2% miles east of Nunda. The deceased was about 30 years old, unmarried and the sole support of his widowed sister and her two little children. He also provided a home for his aged father aud,. younger brother He bore an excellent reputation for in­ tegrity, industry aud, Emanhood. He was brought up by Thos. Powers, of Ilidgefield, with whom he made his home for eleven years, and was counted as one of the family circle. He was a young man whom to know was to honor and respect, and his sad end cast a gloom over the entire community. Mr. Powers, on hearing the sad news, promptly ren­ dered' to the bereaved family all the comfort and assistance in his power. The funeral was held on Monday and the remains laid at rest in the Huffman cemetery, near Barreville. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all. SUDDJSN DEATH. GEO. BARNARD, an old and highly re­ spected citizen of Greenwood, while at work in his garden, on Thursday last, was stricken down with the heat. Dr. Fegers was immediately called but to no avail as he died at 9:20 o'clock that evening. He was an old veteran, having served honorably in the late civil war, and was a member of McHenry Post, G. A. It. He was born in 1823, and was consequently 74 years of age at the time of his death. He leaves four children to mourn his sudden death, viz: Mrs. Thos. Burke, of this village; E. C. Barn­ ard, of Ringwood; Ensley Barnard, of Greenwood, and Mrs. Geo. James, of Dickens, Iowa. He lived in Solon, this county, for seven years, and run the Grist Mill at that place, and where, in 1847, he was married to Miss Ruth N. Yates, who died something over three years ago. The funeral was held from his late home, in Greenwood, on Saturday last, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, and the remains laid at rest in the beautiful cemetery just north of tfhit village. OWING to thej^rrific heat of the past two weeks and the great demand for telephones all over the country, we are informed the West McHenry Station can­ not possibly be in operation till July 20, but it will be seen by the following letter, received by Simon Stoffel on Saturday last, that the West McHenry Coupon Books can be used at the McHenry Sta­ tion until their Station is put ^-in operation: MR. SIMON STOFFEL, West McHenry. DEAR SIR:--You called Mr. Mulligan by telephone yesterday and desired to know whether we would receive the toll coupons now held by various people in West McHenry in payment of service over the toll line from McHenry. Replying thereto, 1 desire to say that we will do this until the toll station is established at West McHenry. Yours truly, F. M. BUCK, Contract Agent. A FIKE broke out at 9 o'clock Saturday night last, in the plant of the Yiles & Bobbins Packing Company, Halsteadstreet, Chicago, destroying one of the main buildings, together with the killing shedst and caused a loss of $100,000. This is the Packing House in which Jos. J. Frett, formerly of this village, is engaged. He was spending Sunday with his family, at his cottage, above this village, and probably did not know of the fire until he arrived in Chi­ cago Sunday night, when he immediate­ ly telephoned the facts to his wife. The report says the property destroyed was fully insured. THE Chicago Telephone Company sent a largemumber of invitations to parties here, inviting them to assist on Monday iti the opening of their toll line, connect, ing McHenrv with Chicago and neighbor­ ing cities and towns. Quite a number took advantage of this liberal offer and talked with friends in the city and other parts of the state. McHenry IH now con­ nected by long distance telephone, be­ sides thjs state, with New York city and all thfe principal cities and villages in the east. Who says we ain't in the swim ? THE Nunda Herald last week entered upon its twenty-second volume, and is therefore just one year younger than the PLAINDEALER, The Herald, since it c.tme under the management of its pres­ ent proprietor, J.

Thttc the Herald may continue for the next twenty years to prosper under the management of its present genial editor is our sincere wisb. WE were shown a counterfeit §5 bill, while in the McHenry Bank on Monday. It i« a Silver Certificate, of the series of 1896, Check Letter B. Plate No. 4. It is one calculated to deceive any but au ex­ pert, and at first glance would deceive almost any one, but the more you look at it the plainer the counterfeit looks. There are probably more of tbem afi jat, and everybody handling money should look out for them. DR. C. M. JOHNSON, secretary of the Pension Board of McHenry Ipounty, is in receipt of a letter from the Commissioner of Pensions, stating that the Board is about to be abolished and asking for the books and papers belonging to said Board.

A TRIP TO THE SOUTH. John R. Brents, who returned on Sat­ urday from a little over two weeks visit with relatives and friends in the south, has some interesting facts to relate in relation to that part of the country. He left MeHenry on the morning of June 22, and arrived at Mound Bayou, Bolivar county, Mississippi, on the evening of Juiie 23, This is a town of about 300 inhabitants, has five dry goods stores; one gin and saw mill combined, three blacksmith shops, two churches, one school house and an Odd Fellows hall. The inhabitants are all colored people, and are a thrifty, intelligent community. He found the country looking well, crops principally cotton, good, and what corn there was looking very fine. This sec­ tion is a great timber country, princi­ pally white oak, which is bought up by Germans, who come in there each year, at so much a tree; and is then cut and made into staves,after which the natives are hired to draw them to the depot for shipment, which they do between the times for hoeing and picking their cot­ ton. At this work they make from $2.75 to $4 per day, which is paid to them every Saturday, and in consequence money is plenty in that little burg, and hard times are unknown. To show to what extent this stave business is carried on, from 50 to 75 teams are employed daily from four to six months in theyear transporting them from the timber to the depot. As we said before; the inhabitants of this little village are a prosperous and happy people. Not a drop of spirituous liquor, in any form, is allowed to be sold or given away within its limits, and while they are making money they are also saving it for a rainy day, and fast becoming independent. Mrs. Green, a niece of Mr. Brents, with whom he was visiting, is Station and Ticket Agent at that place, and also owns three or four farms in the imme­ diate vicinity,all of which are worked under the direction of a superintendent Mr. Brents informs us that the ther­ mometer averaged about the same as here during his stay there, but the sun was so much ..hotter that he was unable to stand it and consequently he cut his stay much shorter than he had intended He reports his trip, however, as a pleas­ ant one, and siguifies his intention of making it again, but in cooler weather. Hi?"The recent developments in Con­ gress in which a large number of Demo­ crats have abandoned the free trade theory and supported high protection, coupled with the fact that a large num­ ber of Democrats in every state where there arecampaigns this fall have refused to support the silver issue, are rapidly disgusting the Populist leaders and de­ ciding them to dissolve the partnership existing between those two parties, and it is probable that fusion between Popu­ lists and Democrats will be impossible in the future. ®*A slow but steady gain in business with an advance in prices, an increase in the number of hands employed and growth of new orders, and an increase in the amount of work done are pointed out by "Dun's Review" in its last issue as a renewed evidence that business is improv­ ing. A study of'the newspaper sentiment of the country as expressed in the publi­ cations of all sentiments shows a concur­ rence in the belief thus expressed that there is a marked and general improve­ ment in the business situation.

WE understand the fellow who repre­ sents the "Poke-your-nose-into-every- body's-business Society," in this villuge, was held up by two tramps, in a box car, near the depot, one night the past week.

Mr. Stoffel is a wide-awake business man, and will put up a building there that will be an ornament to our village. BESIDES ruining rhe livery business the bicycle has much to auswer for. As the vehicle for racing for prizes ; emptying church pews and rolling up the dust of rural roads on the Sabbath day, and in incurring of indebtedness beyond means to pay without sacrifice of prior and just claims, the indictments are many and heavy against it. No one leverage of re­ cent times, the roller skate not excepted, has wrought such sudden and wholesale dismay to the business, social and moral world as the bicycle. AN incipient fire was discovered in a closet, leading from a bed room, in the residence of H. Mueller, who occupies the Robt. Schiessle building, West Side, near the depot, on Wednesday even­ ing last, and before it was extinguished considerable damage was done to cloth­ ing, furniture, etc. It was fortunate that it was discovered in time, for had it got under full headway the entire west end of the village would have been in danger The cause of the fire is unknown. ONE of our business men. a few dayp since, ordered, from his wholesale dealer in Chicago, twenty-five pounds ot Paris Green, but what was his surprise on re­ ceiving it to find that he had twenty-five pounds of Bird Seed. W hether this error was caused by the new telephone or not is unexplained, but coming so soon after the 4th it has a suspicious look. He now has "seed to throw to the birdu," and says, "let dem bugs took care of demselves, don't it? " L. E. BENNETT is now ready to make photographs bj' an entirely new and in­ stantaneous process.
