The McHenry county fair -is in progress at Woodstock this week.* Charles E. Fuller's regiment of volunteers,- the one recruited in Lake, Boone and McHenry counties, is disbanded. Annas Hathaway, an old and well known citizen of Elgin, died at hit home in that city on Friday, aged seventy-two years. The races at the Richmond driving park on Friday and Saturday last were well attended and were of the most interesting character. The McHenry nine played a game of ball with the Dighton club at Fox Lake the first of the week and were beaten by a score of 22 to 19. The passenger train due at Woodstock at 11:08 a. m., struck and instantly killed Mi's. Jeremiah Carpenter Tuesday. The accident occurred at the crossing near Jas. Cassel's place one mile south of that city. The "Old Timers" and the McHenry nine crossed bats on Tuesday afternoon and it was a "hot game," with the thermometer ninety degrees in the shade. The score at the end of the ninth inning was 16 to 12 in favor of the McHenry nine. « Special Agent Holbrcok of the Chicago Telephone company was in town Monday surveying McHenry and Lake counties for the purpose of establishing toll stations in q,ll the villages and Aowns to be directly connected with rftheir immense system spreading all over the country. Arrangements were made to connect Greenwood, Johnsburg, Cary, Richmond, Ringwood, Genoa Junction and also to include the entire Pistakee Bay district. The morning papers brought the sad news on Monday morning that James A. Perry, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Perry of this village, had died on board a hospital ship on his way home from Santiago and that he had been buried at sea on August 20. At the breaking out of the war with Spain he was one of the first to offer his services, enlisting as a private in Co. A, first Illinois volunteer infantry, and went with them to Cuba, serving with fiis regiment in the siege which resulted in the capture of Santiago and the destruction of the Spanish fleet. As the result of this tttltf Wf ifH *nd the dcMBtat ing cHmate ofOifb* he eotttftcted malarial fewtf and dysentery and, together with about two hundred more sick, was put on board the hospital ship "Olivette" and started for home. He gradually grew worse and on the morning of August 20, oft the bosom of the ocean, his bright young life went out and his body was consigned to the sea.

Under the new plan a small battery servicing charge which is made, will make possible not only the continuance of, but an improvement in, the service we have been rendering to the automobile public. The quality of the Exide Battery remains unchanged. It is the same as that which has brought world-wide acceptance of the Exide as the standard storage battery* The new low prices put the Exide within reach of any car owner who wao|| e comfort and satisfaction of driving with the rugged, long-lived Exide Battery. : PHONE IM-R W. L. HOWELL & CO. McHENRY, ILLINOIS BATTERIES do not get a license and you are twenty- one years old you can be arrested and prosecuted. These are the provisions of the new fishing laws which went into effect July 1. If you want to hunt in Illinois you must have a license. If you are a resident of the state your hunting license will cost you $1. If you are not •a resident of the state your hunting license swill cost you $10.50.

You cannot lure bull frogs to grab your hook which is concealed by a pier of red flannel between the dates of April 1 and July 1 without laying yourself liable to prosecution under the state laws. And if your bull frog does not weigh at least one-fourth of a pound you will be prosecuted if you don*t throw him back into the" water. All mussel shells not two inches in dimension must be thrown back into the river or creek. Clammers are allowed bdt one clamming boat and bat one tow boat.
