We can assure all who go to Wauconda th|^they are sure of being well taken care of at the Pratt House. THE Mcllenry Brick Manufacturing Company have purchased thirty-five acres of S. Riymond near the Railroad, just South of the Depot, and will Im­ mediately remove their Yard to that place. They have been constrained to do this for two reasons: First their supply of clay at tliq old Yard was al­ most exhausted. Second, by the change they secure shipping facilities which saves them the expanse ef teaming their Brick a mile to cars. On the ground just purchased they secure an inexhanstable supply of the finest clay, and will immedlatel v open up t! eir Yard with a full working forte. Tha Superintendent, Isaac Wentworth, knows the business In all its branches, and under his charge the McHenry Brick Manufacturing Company la sure of success. • A Bargain For The Boys.

This is one of the best monthly Agricultural papers published, and should be in the hands of every farmer. Remember, it Hosts you nothing. auiTThe following from the Sprlhg- field. 111. Monitor, a democratic pa|wr, speaks for itself: An appeal To Men. It Is "veil kuovtc that the rock upon whicu our esteemed friend Capt. Cha- pln wrecked his fortune was embarking in the publication of "a history of the Republican party," Disappointment In getting the work out in season for sale during the campaign caused him to lose every dollar he had on earth. Now that book Is on hand. Could he realize something for the work it would keep the wolf from the door of a gallant sol- dier in Ills old age, broken up by zeal for his party. We care nothing about his party, but he is a man, republican though he be in politics, if he chooses so to be. With Ills politics we have no sympathy, but at his ige it makes the heart of humanity a :he to See him thrown out upon the world with noth- lug to lean upon. Why can't therepub llcan newspaper brethern in the state give their old brother a lift by an ap­ peal to the party friends to send a do! ̂ iar and get a Wok that would have sold for three? It Is still of value to your party! Give the old man a boost! Send him a dollar And get his book and give a worthy old *oldicr a few dollars to cheer his last days! You have rais­ ed thousands for those not really in need of it; show your m!lk of human kindness for a broth r soldier in dis­ tress and send along your dollar. Tou will never miss It and It will make glad a most worthy arid honest man. Horace Chapin is not a beggar, nor would the MONITOR place him in that attitude, but to prevent him from be­ coming such send him a dollar and get a book which broke him up to publish. Let the republican press do a manly thing and urge their readers to do this. LOOT Smith on "Dr." W. H. Hale. The current issue of the Philadelphia Herald, edited by Lum Smith, is un­ doubtedly the best ever Issued. The fearless exposure of W. II. Hale "M. D,' of so called Heaith and Home, Wash-' ington, D. O., and of "Dr." Petzold. of Baltimore, Mtf, are the leadine articles and will no doubt prove of incalculable benefit to the press and public. The Reading (Pi.) Daily Ti*e* editorially endorses Mr, Smith as follows: "Where ever you see Lum Smith, editor of the the Philadelphia Herald, being abused in any paper, just make up your mind that he has trodden upon the toes of some pernicious newspaper publisher or rank fraud. Mr.^mith makes It his business to expose this class to the public gate and uo better evidence could be given that he is administering the right kind of medi :ine to opemte, than the frantic kicks of his victims- Let them howl." .% pievel Wager. A novel wager was made In middle- town the other day between a young lawyer and a gentleman engaged in business In New York. Each is the father of a boy baby, of which he Is very proud, and the conver«ation hap­ pening to turn upon the youngsters each father was emphatic in his asser­ tions that his oflsprtng was larger and more promising than that of his friend. The outcome of the talk was an agree­ ment that each should deposit 8100 in the savings hank, there te remain with principal and interest untouched, until both tlie babies huv" attained th<> age of 21 year-!. On attaining this niR|ority each of the babies to te weighed, and the one tipping the scales at tlie great­ est weight is to he entitled to the 8200 and interest.- Kingston (iV. I\) Free­ man.

We shook hands with Captain Fred Smith, of Marengo, on Monday, he be lng over on business. John Brink, of Crystal Lake, was here last Monday surveying several pieces of property. Bert« tilth, ot York, Net)., accom­ panied by ois wife, are the guests of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith's parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Murphy, of this city. Obas. Furer was at home a day or two last week. He hails from Nebraska and says the spring Is not as backward there as it appears here. The new dray, or truck, that Charles Hobe has ju*t begun tn use for his busi* ness of draying and handling express mMJer, Is certainly a "beauty." Mrs. ^uifson Irish, whom Dr. D. C. Green removed a large cancer with the knife, from her breast not long since, seems to be doing well, and Is able to be up and about. Frank Short has opened a saloon In Judge Murphy's block, on the south side of the Sq lare. This makes two saloons in the south aud temperance ward of this city. Carl Kingman ha* gone to Bel vide re for the summer. We understand he has taken a fine span of horses, and will engage in working on the new railroad to be built In that section. House cleaning Is now the erder of the day and It seems to us te begin very early in the day and to last til) the good housewife can scarcely keep her eyes open, or until she is complete* ly "bushed," We woul l write something concern lng the status of the weather during most ot last week, if we thought there was a person In McHenry county that did not realize what lovely weather did really s nlle upon us--say for in­ stance Thursday and Friday last. Dick Friend, of this city, an employe In the U. S. Senate pos'offloe, is home spending his vacation with family and friends. We understan 1 that Dick does not expect to be considered as having laid himself liable for removal on accojni of b**lng in "offensive partisan." Our board of education, we think, have acted wisely and well In deciding to retain Prof, Hursh as superintendent ef the public school for another year, Mr. Hursh has evidently given good satisfaction on a'l sides, and seems to be the right man for the place. As an educator he certainly stands second to none, and keeps up and In step with the era In whicn we live. We have seldom met \ more courteous and tlior> eugh young gentlemtn. A. E. Bourne may now be found In his new office, which by the way Is one of the most pleasant and nicely arrang­ ed law offl j<!S In town, or that we have visited lately. It is over Bunker Bros, hardware and grocery store, on -tou h side of the Square. Call and see the Captain. He has just went and gone and taken unto himself a better half, and of course any amount of legal business will be acceptable; and then, he will be bland like. There Is not the least shadow of a doubt but that Hon. B. N. Smith was treated very shabbily *t the recent Judicial Convention held at Elgin. Yet when the Sentinel put the question: Will the 'voters endorse It at the polls?" docs It not appear a little strange. After that paper has "many a time and oft" swallowed Just such "pills:' and even abused those who hinted at the bare Idea of not sanction­ ing far more disgraceful proceedings than those referred to? But as in many other cases with the Sentinel, It makes a vast amount of difference "whose ox is gored," Sheriff Udell's father, Alby Udell, who resided In the town of Alden, this county, died Tuesday, May Sth, at the age of 73 years. The decease 1 had lived in Alden fo{ about forty years,and was a highly respeotable.. and successful farmer, wh» was well and favorably thought of by his numerous friends at home and wherever known. He was sick but a day or two. Sheriff Udell did not roach the,bedside of his father ere the spirit had left Its tenement ef clay, although on the first Intimation by telegraph of* the dangerous condi­ tion of the deceased he started and drove twelve miles In little over one hour, but arrived too late. A. E. Bourne and Miss May Bunker* both or this city, were united in mar­ riage la»t week Tuesday eyeniug. The wedd'Pg took place at the palatial residence of W. B. Austin. Esq., brother-ill law of the bride. The affair throughout doe* credit to those con- cerned in the arrangements, which were devoid of the usuil formality attending such occasions. Only the near relatives and a very few Intimate friends were present. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. E. B( Boggers, pastor of the Coneregational church. The bride is the youngest daughter of John Bunker, Esq., an old resident of Woodstock, and a sister to G, K. and A. K. Bunker, of the firm of Bunker Bros. Mr. Bourue Is a lawyer who is well known in this vicinity, and wh > at one time was principal of our public school. Ldwis Hill,son of Joseph Bill, of this city, died last Saturday. He was about seventeen years of age. The deceased had never been very rugged as regards health, and his suflerings for some time previous to his death were great. Lewis was a good, dutiful son, and bad many warm friends, both old and young among his acqutlutanses. A post mortem revealed the fact, which come deetora that his heart wa§ m side, hence the extreme tsfctUf and affliction he has been antgeet to rof years past. The funeral services were held at the M.
