€gppj WEDNESDAY, AUG. 11, 1897. fi VAN 8LYKE, Editor. FOR COUNTY JUDGE, O. H. CILLMORE. EJECTION WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18. The election for County Ju&ge, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Donnelly, will take place On Wed­ nesday of next week, August 18th. It behooves every Republican voter in McHenry county to come out and cast his vote on that day. We have a candi­ date who is an honor to the party, and is deserving of a fall vote on Wednesday next. The common enemy is alwajs on the alert, and too much apathy on the part of Republicans might be dangerous, Therefore we say let every ltepublican go to the polls on Wednesday next and do his duty and all will be well. 160°" The Governor of Tennessee ap­ pointed Thosl B. Turley to fill the place in the U. S. Senate made vacant by the recent death of Senator Isham G. Harris. SHEr • - -------- "All is not gold that glitters" is an old saying that will aptly apply to the excitement prevailing about gold dis­ coveries in Alaska, California, Colorado, Peru and Pennsylvania. (8T:Mr. Bryan is not repeating his little joke about the absence of "General Prosperity" these days. Nor is he say­ ing anything about wheat and silver leaping pace with each other in the mar­ kets of the world. HST' A special dispatch dated Aurora, Aug. 9, says: A cyclone and hailstorm carrying de­ struction in its path mowted a swath through the country here this afternoon, unroofing buildings, stripping the fields, and uprooting trees. Much stock was killed. • The storm broke about o'clock, the center passiug about five miles south­ east of the city, traveling in a northeast­ erly direction. Its path through the north end of Ken­ dall county, the northeast corner and the south end of Du Page, ranging from a mile to three miles in width, is a scene of complete destruction. Cornfields were stripped to the stalks by the hail and the stalks flattened ^fco the ground by the wind that followed in its wake. Oats and other small grain in the shock are beaten into the earth and partially thrashed. Scarcely a tree is left standing in the main track of the etorm, and scores oi barns are unrooffed or crushed down. It is reported to-night that several members of a family named Wolf, at Tamarack, were killed. In Aurora the storm was severe, but (*a,used no great damage ! beyond a mix- up of telephone and telegraph wires.

The return of pros­ perity simply means that men who are willing to work will have an opportunity and will receive good pay in good money. The idle man and shiftless will be as hard up in good times as in hard times. There are no wages for laziness in any sort of times.--Fx. gpHffe fSi.,- I®" The recent increased gold develop­ ments, not alone in Alaska, but in the increased production of mines every­ where, is a hard blow to the 16 to 1 theorists, and, when coupled with the fact that the prices of farm products have advanced and that crops are plen tiful and that farmers are paying off their mortgages, must prove very de­ pressing to those who have insisted that prosperity could alone come through the adoption of free silver. Ifcf" Farmers of the West are now hav- PouJtry at the J?'air. The Superintendent of Poultry has had the good fortune to secure the services of Judge Thellabarger, of Iowa, for our coming Fair. The Judge hns a national reputation as a poultry expert, judging some of the largest shows of the country. Poultry breeders from a distance who cannot accompany their exhibit, may send their fowls and they will receive the best of care and be returned at the close of the Fair. Send all fowl and one dol­ lar ($1) entry fee to F. T. Barnes, Super­ intendent Poultry, McHenry County Fair, Woodstock, 111. When more than ten pair are sent each additional pair will cost ten cents extra. All fowls to be sent cooped in pairs, labeled on a ship­ ping tag with name of bread, whether chicks or old fowl, and the name and ad­ dress of breeder. If sent by express must come prepaid. Judge Thellabarger will be here Wednesday morning, August 25 ready for business, so you can see all poultry must be on the ground Tuesday and ready for show Wednesday morning. F. T. Barnes, Supt. Poultry. ing as much difficulty in getting freight cars to remove their crops as they had a couple of years ago in getting crops to put into the freight cars. Thousands upon thousands of freight cars which have been standing idle since the summer of 1893 are now rushing day and night to carry the abundant crops of the West, for which advanced prices are being ob­ tained, despite the fact that silver has steadily fallen meantime. 16?"Silver bullion has touched the low­ est price per ounce it was ever known to ! reach in the commercial history of the I Sliflworld. The cause is that the production has been largely increased by improved machinery and methods in mining in recent years and such large silver using countries as Russia, Japan and China have ceased purchasing silver in as great quantities as they usually aid in other years. The two first named countries cur-1 have arbitrarily established their rency system upon a single gold basis, and their people have no appeal from the dictum. The value of gold coins is es­ tablished by the monarchs and the people have no recourse--not even that of discussion. The following is found floating round in the exchanges: "If you owe anybody pay it as soon as you can. The man to whom you are indebted may be indebted to his neighbor and be unable to pay op your account. A dollar may pay a good many debts in a day's time if kept mov ing. Don't carry money around in your pocket when it belongs to somebody else. By keeping money moving times can be made better by far than they are at present." Excursion l'ickets to Freeport.
