FISHIVG is good now along Fox river Get a pole and line with a hook attached and go forth early any morning and pull 'em out. The only trouble that you will find is in the baiting of your hook. The fish are so hungry just now that one has to walk back a dozen yards or more be­ fore he can safely pull out his worms or show his minnows, for the reason that if they were exposed near the water's edge the fish would jump out after them, and unless one is careful he is liable to have a fight on his hands.

A. Cristy was chosen Chairman and J. Van Slyke Secretary. J. W. Cristy then presented the follow-,, ing Resolution and moved its adoption: Resolved. That in justice to the'several candidates before the people of thiB county for the office of County J udge, and iu justice to the voters of this caucus a full aud. fair expression of their choice of said candidates is desired, and to secure this result we ask that each voter vote by ballot for the candidate of hie chpice, and the candidates receiving the greatest number of votes shall be the nominee of this caucus. And we hereby instruct the delegates to be -selected by this caucus-to represent McHenry in the County Convention, to vote for and use all honorable means to secure the nomi­ nation of such candidate in said con ven­ tion, until a nomination is made or the choice of this caucus ceases to be a candidate. " The motion being duly seconded the resolution was adopted by almost a unanimous vote. Y: V . - After the reading of the resolution Hon. F. K. Granger took thp floor and attempted to convince the people that it was for their interest to send an unih- structed delegation to^the County Con­ vention, but that he failed to convince them is evidenced.by the vote given be­ low. His arguments were clearly and pointedly answered by Hon. Geo. Gage and J. W, Cristy, after which a ballot was taken as to the choice of the Caucus for County Judge, which resulted as follows:, Whole number votes cast 121 (Jilmore received 104 Smiley " 15 Young " . 2 A committee of three, consisting of J. W. Cristy, Jas. B. Perry aud Isaac Wentworth was then appointed to select seventeen delegates to represent the town iu the County Convention, to be held Ju|y 19, 1897, and report thesa.me for the consideration of the Caucus. They presented the following names as such delegates: J. W. Cristy, Chairman. J B. Perry, F. K. Granger, W. A. Cristy, J. Van Slyke, i). T. Eldredge, Isaac Harsh, B. Harrison, Robt. Sherburne, Albert Francisco, J. V. Buckland, Isaac Wentworth, E. T. Chase. H.C. Mead. Fred Sherburne, Ed. Thompson, John Huemann. On motion duly seconded, the report was accepted and adopted. On motion the delegates present at the County Convention were authorized to fill any vacancy that may occur or cast the entire vote ot the town. On motion adjourned. A BELVIDERE man advertises: "A herd of butter producing cows to be let out for 1, 2 or 3 years on favorable terras to one who will give them good care. No money rent required. Rent to be paid entirely by raising calves." C. B. CADWELL, who has been operat­ ing the Cold Blast Feather Renovator in this village ha* about finished his work here and will soon move his machine to another point. Those who have not already done so should lose no time in having their beds and pillows renovated. He will remain but a few days' longer and you may not get another chance for years. The work he has done here has given perfect satisfaction in every par­ ticular. WE learn that a party, representing himself as a brother-in-law of E. B. Perkins, called at the wholesale Paint House, in Chicago, where Mr. Perkins deals and attempted, on a plea of being broke, to get money enough to get home, tie was told to wait a few minutes and they would telephone to McHenry, but while they were doing this he shot out and forgot to return. We have heard that the names of several of our business men have been used in the same way, trying to procure money, and that the party is well known here. He should be caught and punished to th" full extent of the law. We have not learned whether or not he has succeeded in getting any money by this scheme.

Adver­ tisers have been swindled by them so often in the large cities, that they refuse to go into them any more. A circulation that is based on being given away is almost worthless to any advertiser. People who get such a paper care but little for it, and its circulation soon as a gift is very doubtful. If a dozen iss'ies are missed who is to kick? Not the party supposed to receive the paper, for he iB not paying anything--and not the advertiser for he does not know it. The only valuable circulation to an adver tiser is one that the readers want and show what they want by paying for it -- Waukegan Gazette. MERIT recognized.
