Howell, juBt north of this village, on Monday evening last, in honor of a party of Chicago people whp were there and at Mr. Gregston's. Quite a number were invited from this village. There were about 30 in the party and a royal good time is leported. We shall not attempt to unravel the mysteries of the Rainbow part of the entertainment, for fear that we might be tangled up more completely than those who had a hand in the game on Monday evening, but suffice to say it was not only amus­ ing but highly interesting when you got to the other eud. Besides this there were games of all kinds, dancing, etc., to while away the time, which were in­ dulged in and enjoyed equally by all. After this refreshments were served in abundance, in Mrs. Howell's best style, and those who are acquainted know just what that means. There is no better or more hospitable entertainer ?n the State than Mr^Hof^ell. At about 11 o'clock the partybrtike up and accompanied by those from, Chicago chartered George Myers' "Buss Line" and' came to the vil­ lage where they treated a few of our citizens to a fine, serenade, ye editor being included among the number, for which they will aceept our thanks. The singing waB excellent and highly appre­ ciated. Taking, all in all those who were present pronounce it one of the most pleasant evening gathering they had at­ tended for many a day. A Complete Surprise, In view of the fact that Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hanlj' were about to move to Chi­ cago for the winter, the ladies of the [Jniversalist Society and their friends, to the number of about fifty, planned a surprise for them on Monday evening, which was carried out to the fullest ex­ tent and to the eutire satisfaction of all concerned. A part met at the residence of W. AjCristy, and about eight o'clock marched in a body to the residence of Mr. Hanly, where they unceremoniously took possession of the house and pro­ ceeded to make themselveB perfectly at home. Mrs. Hanly, although taken completely by surprise, took in the situ­ ation and surrendered unconditionally,'I and while the house was in a torn up condition incident to moving, proeeeded to make it a* pleasant as it were possible for all. Mr. Hanly came in later, took in the situation at a glance and grace­ fully submitting, entered into the festivi­ ties of the occasion in his usual happy manner. After au hour of visiting and sociability Ice Cream and Cake was served, when the company dispersed to their several homes, all feeling that they had spent a pleasant and profitable evening. Women's Oatholic Order Forresters. Mrs. M. E. Rayburn, of Chicago, is now in this village for the purpose of organ­ izing a Court of the Women's Catholic Order of Forresters. A meeting was held on Sunday last at St. Patrick's church, fifteen names being secured, and another meeting will be held at the same place Sunday when MI-B. Rayburn will fully ex­ plain the workings of the order and solicit other names. This organization originated in Chicago and is now over 15,000 strong, consisting of 176 Courts. It is a social and benevolent institution, and one that, in the short time it has been in existence, has been of untold ben­ efit to its members. All the above num­ ber of Courts have been organized by Mrs. Rayburn, who is an enthusiast in the cause, and devotes much of her time to the good of this order. At the meet­ ing next Sunday she hopes to secure enough names to insure the organization of a Court in this village. E. J. HANLY and wife are packing up their houehold goods preparatory to moving to Chicago. The reason for this move is that their two sons, Harry and George, are attending, one the Law School and the other Medical College, and Mrs. Hanly thinks that it would be better aud pleasanter for them to board at home and therefore makes this move for their especial benefit. Mr. Hanly will continue his business here, aud will be here himself a good Bhare of the time, C. E. Lamphere will occupy the Hanly residence, Mrs. llauly will be greatly missed in social circles and church work and her many friends hope for her return at no very distant day. Their address in Chicago will be 25 Stauley Terrace, West Side. AT a regular meeting of the Village Board, on Monday evening last, Isaac Wentworth was unanimously appointed as Superintendent, on behalf of the vil­ lage, of the construction of the Water Works System, in this village. No better appointment could have been made. Mn Wentworth has had large experience in different kinds of contract work, and our citizens can rest assured that under his supervision everything will be done ac­ cording to plans and specifications, and that the material used will be such as said plans call for. As we said before the appointment is a good one. IF there is anything that gives us a longing for eternal rest aud Bleep, and damp solitude, it is a man who comes to a town or county and builds up a good paying business, grows rich from the re­ sources of a prosperous country, and then Bquats down on his wealth like a clucking hen on a door knob and is too infernal stingy to even let the gravel grind in his own gizzard. HERE is the way an exchange sounds the trumpet of distress: "Persons knowing themselves indebted to this office are requested to call and settle. All those indebted to this office and not knowing it are requested to call and find out. All those knowing themselves in­ debted to this office-and not wishing to call are requested to stay in one place long enough for us to catch them. All those who are not indebted are requested to call and get indebted. English breakfast and gunpowder teas, 20c per lb, 2 lbs for 35c. At Owen & Chapell's. PERSONAL.

THE following a* little boy's version of dad's breeches: " When dad haB worn his trousers out they pass to brother John; then ma runs them around about, aud William puts them on. When Will­ iam's legs so long have grown,. the trousers fail to hide 'em; so Walter claims them for his Own, and stows him­ self inside 'em. Next Sam's fat legs close invest, and, when they won't stretch tighter, they're turned and shortened, washed and fixed on me--the wjriter. Ma works them into rugs and caps when* I have burst the stitches. At doomsday we shall see (perhaps) the last of dad's old breeches. Devil's Lake.

Fegers, who owns fifty-eight Village Lots, just north of the corpora­ tion line, has decided to offer them for sale at Public Auction, on or about the 25th of this month, due notice of which will be given by posters and otherwise. These lots are pleasantly located, in one of the best resident portions of our vil­ lage, and are very desirable property. These lots will be sold on long time and easy payments, and thus enable persons with small means to secure a home for themselveB. With the scarcity of houseB to rent in this village, parties with means could make no better investment than to pur­ chase a few of these lots and put up nice little cottages, which they will have no trouble in renting at paying figures. Taken all in all the Doctor's scheme to ^offer them at auction is sure to re­ wound to the benefit of our village. The exact date of the sale, with a plat of the lots, will appear in these columns next week, at which time we shall have more to say in relation thereto. Illinois Prairie Chicken Laws. Inquiry has been made into the status of the Illinois came law or that part of it which relates to the -time' for killing prairie chickens; It.has been claimed i hat through an error of an engrossing clerk, the law was inoperative. This is absolutely false. A Certified copy of the act has been obtained and carefully scrutinized by able lawyers. There is uotthe slightest liaw in it of any kind, and it says verv distinctly that it is un­ lawful to kill chickens in Illinois before the 15th of September.--/5e. The McCormick Ahead. At the trial of Corn Harvesters, on the Tonyan farm, north of Ringwood, on Tuesday, the McCormick downed the Deering in handsome style. Besides do­ ing the straight work in a superior man­ ner, the McCormick ran over two or three rows of corn; mashing it down flat, and then turned, picked it up, cut and bound it as good as if it had been standing corn. The bearing was then offered $50 to duplicate the performance, but refused aud took their machine from the field A virtual acknowledgement of deleat The McCormick had done what they could not do SPECTATOR, Mrs. Grundy Says: That the singing of the cricket and the cool night bespeak the coming eclipse of the shirt waist.

That all work and no play makes the girl with the piano popular next door. That a person may be landless and yet have several achers in his mouth. That the new woman ought to buy a larger shoe and a smaller hat. Emma Myers, and Mrs. John Myers, Sr. and son, all of Elgin, attended the picnic at Columbia Park on Sunday.
