Obituary. DIED.--At his home, in Greonwoo 1, III.. January 17th, 1*88, of Pneumonia, THOMAS BOLGEIt, aged 60 years. The subject of this notice was a native ot Killfeenny Count;, Ireland, having emigrated to this country in ist9. 3ince then the great­ er part of his life was spent in this vicinity. A few years ago he removed to Greenwood, leaving behind him hosts of friends, who will !ong remember the exemplary traits of bis character, conspicuous among them being his love ot truth and right and his readiness to de­ fend them by his unflinching opinion and ma. ture judgment. Mr. Bolger's life was a noble illustration of the adage "Honesty is the best policy." Honorable and upright in all his dealings with hi» fet.ow men,he will be miss, ed from the community as an esteemed and honored citizec, from his church as a de voted and unostentatious christian, and from hia family as a kind and indulgent (lath­ er and husband, whose greatest pleasure con. sisted in promoting the happiness of others His now grief-stricken home was one of hospitality and uiirth, and In years to come his bereaved ehildren will look back to the paternal roof and remember the days speni there as the happiest of their lives. Truly theirs is a sad loss, but there is a comfort for those who weep. For-* You'll meet again In a happy home. On that bright and Heavenly shore, Where pain and sorrow, grief and death, And cares of life are o'er. And ye, whose lot it is to mourn. Think what the joy wilt be; When tather, mother and childraai all, Shall meet beyond life's sea. AFKIKKD.

Quinter, Kansas, under date of Jan. 20th, we find tbe following statement in regard to tbe weatberio that region. He says: '*1 notiee in several eastern papers where they tell about severe winter In We<t- irn Kansas. Coal famine, people suffer­ ing, etc. Now, thare is not one word of truth in such a statement. There has been scaroely any snow and the thermometer has only shown 24 de­ crees below zero, and that .was last Saturday morning. People are,all well provided for and no suffering of any kind."

BISHOP, W EDITOK Pi&L«0fc*iA*; -- Circuit Court has been In session tlnce Toes- day morning, the 10th, till Saturday •ooo, the 14th. Quito a number of osls have been varloosly disposed of toy settlement, continuance, dismissal, or otherwise, without trial. The first case tried was Hannah Sullivan, vs. John Kennedy, A. D. Kennedy, Wm. Kennedy and John McGhee. Plaintiff claiming damages under the dram­ shop aet tor loss of her husbaud. Cor­ nelius Sullivan, alleged to have lost bis life by reason of Intoxication caused la whole or in part by drinks furnished him by defendants. In its Inclplency there were numerous other defendants, Including other saioonists, owners of buildings, bondsmen, etc., but all have been dropped except those herein named. Tbe attorneys In the ease are C. H. Donnelly, O. H. Gllmore and John B, Lyon, Tor plain­ tiff, and M. L. Joslyn, A. B. Coon, and C. P. Barnes for defendant. In select­ ing a jury each person presented was rigidly interrogated, 4>ro and con, with a view of detecting, If possible, the slightest prejudice, Indication, or sympathy likely to affect the verdict, and of course each side availed itself of every discernible point, whether favorable or unfavorable. As finally sworn to try the cause, the following named were accepted as the twelve "good m£n and true": Jabez Motley, Luzerne Capron, Geo. W. Conn, P. W. Murphy, J^ohn Stevens, John Carbury, Gee. Walmsley. John Powers, J., Ar­ thur Hyndman, Clinton Pease, Gee. W Oakley, Richard Dalby. This being tbe third trial those who had listened to the evidence and arguments hereto­ fore, as well as those listening for the first time were watching for salient points in tbe case, and it was plainly observable that some ef the witnesses en tbe part of the plaintiff were less positive than formerly and that others who had been effectually impeached, were not In attendance, while on the part of tbe defense tbe difference was not so marked. It was there just the same. There was another difference remarkable--tbe absence ef tbe W. C. T. U. and Citizens League element, as their Captain, C. P. Barnes, seems to have deserted them and gone over to tbe enemy. Counsel on either 6lde made a clear case In the argument. « be Court read the Instructions which were so artistically drawn as to make it plain "if the jury believe" so and so. from the evidence, and they retired; but after loug effort failed te »gree. And thus, unless.the case is settled or dismissed another effort will be made at the next term. One other case of Jess Importance, John Hawley vs John Denohue, tried and verdict for plaintiff. Two case*, Mlohaei Keating vs Michael Hayden, involving the same issues, w<tre consolidated, and in tbe midst of the trial court adjourned to Tuesday, when it Is expected, Imme­ diately following tills case the crimin­ al docket will be called and the Tem- pleton case taken up. It Is now ex­ pected that the present jurymen will be asked to return the third week with a view of cleariog the dockst as nearly as possible. In the Sentinel of the 6th inst,, ap­ pears the following: "Executive Com mlttee, members only (the last word in capitals) of the McHenry Co. Agri­ cultural Board, are requested to meet at the Secretary's Office, Monday Jab. 9, at 1 P. M. By request oi Pres­ ident. A. S. Wright, Sec." And In th« Sentinel of the 12th inst., af pears the following among other items of Interest to tbe citizens of McHenry County as part ef the transactions of said secret session: "It was moved and carried that tbe Secretary notify A. W. Smith, the treasurer of 1886, to render a report from Dec. 6, 1886, te October, 1887. covering the time tbe books were in his possession, and sub mit it to tha President at once " Asa desires and directs your reporter to say to the executive committee, and to the President, that while the above resolution appears mandatory and summary In its language, it is bis pleasure to comply therewith as early afe other engagements, tbe labor re quired and the particularity of tbe oircumstances will permit. Also that he does not now recall any items not fully set forth in the treasurer's books as delivered over by him to his succes­ sor In office, and he supposed tbey were sufficiently expressive of bis act­ ings and doings, and always open for Inspection to all interested parties. * The Circuit Court convened again on Tuesday, the 17th inst, The case of Keating vs Hayden resulted In a verdict for defendent. The people vs Temple ton was con­ tinued. Estate of Owen McGhee vs John O'Brien Jr.. resulted In favor of de­ fendant. That of Ashton vs. Lawson. lor plaintiff; People vs Stephen She- ban. John Sbeban and Mannie Nickle, defendants found guilty, fined twenty- five dollars each, and < ach sentenced to tbe county jail ten days; Dennis Corr plead guilty to highway robbery and received sentence to penitentiary one year, On Friday evening the conrt dis­ charged the Jury for the term and no­ tified the clerk to have a double panel summoned for next term with a view to clear up tbe docket. Ceurt adjourn­ ed to Wednesday the 25ifa for chan­ cery cases. In justice court on Mondsy the 18tb Inst., Amos Keeler was brought by Ohange of venue from Justice E. E Thomas before Justice A. W, Smith on complaint of Carlos Goft on tbe charge of asssult with deadly weapon, and Carlos Goff. oc complaint of Amos Keeler was brought on original war­ rant en like charge before Justioe Smith. Each defendant plead not guilty, and by agreement of counsel C. H. Donnelly ou the part of Goffs oomplaint, and C. P. Barnes on tbe part of Keeler's complaint, both cases were tried on the same testimony The city of Ridgefield turned out en- masse. Tbe testimony closed and the causes submitted without argument. The iustice 6tated that the proof came nearer supporting tbe charge of an affray than as charged in complaints, and that as each had committed an {assault and battery In the judgment of the Court a fine would be assessed in each case in the sum of ten dollars and judgments with costs of suit entered accordingly. Goff forthwith applied to Police Magistrate A. E. Bourne on similar complaiot against Keeler. who was agaiu arrested and on change of venue the cause la set for hearing this Monday, tbe 23d inst. before Justioe Thomas. As the fine before Justice Smith was for common assault and battery, which Is a loss offense than tbo charge of aseiult with deadly weapon. If In tbo opinion of Justice Thomas the greater charge is sustain­ ed, a floe for MM less will bo so fcar for the grsator. Hebron Department LODGfe DIRECTOR*. MA.SOIRFC.--A. F. and A.
