On a dark night, the lightning paintuig •1iell on the sky and water falling in tor- tents, to run astraddle of an open gate Is not conducive to good nature or an arrangement of adjectives in accordance $rith the hymn books. A writer in a scientific magazine says $he earth is being bored too much and is liable to lose its place among the Ifieavenly bodies in consequence. The : editor can sympathize with the earth, vile is also likely to lose his plaice among the heavenly bodies from the language ; lie uses when the bore leaves. C THE lightning rod swindler is again in tiiis section, and we hear of several at- ; tempts to cheat the unwary, and in some instances they have been more or less suc­ cessful. The only thing our farmers can do' to protect themselves is to shoot ^very lightning rod agent on sight. He can never make a mistake. As a rule they are thieves and swindlers. THE low, cowardly sneak thi^Ves have again commenced stealing plants and flowers from the graves in our cemetery, It is a lamentable fact that we have such miserable hounds in our midst, but it is more lamentable that they cannot be caught and punished as they deserve But the miscreants had better "look a leetle oud." They ate watched, and woe be to them if caught. THE Richmond Gazette has changed hands, H. C. Faber having sold the same to Prof. Frank L. Carr, Principal of the Richmond Public School.

We wish him all the luck that usi^Uif falls to the lot of man. T is no more pleasure lot an (editor to dun his patrons than it is for others to dun theirs, but there are a large number owingusonsubscription, in sums ranging from $1.50 to $12.00 and we need it now, so must ask again that those who know themselves in arrears will call and settle or seud the amount without further delay. Some of these bills will be placed with a collector §if not settled soon, as jure cannot run a business with­ out money, and cannot afford to carry these accounts any longer. ^TIemem w i t h f u n ' Ice dream Festival.* An IceCream Festival will be given by the I.

A note for |2 ,500 was given by a former member of the firm and the firm's name signed to it. It was discounted at the bank and the maker of the note appro­ priated the proceeds to his own use. Being unable to collect it when due, the bank brought suit against the firm for the amount. They showed that his con­ nection with the firm had ceased before he made the note, but as they had not published the dissolution notice previous to that time, as required, judgment was rendered against the old-firm. EVERY one who has anything to do with a cow should learn thoroughly this fact; that every annoyance and thing that excites and frets her takes a pro­ portion from both the.amount and rich­ ness of her yield, and in just so much takes money from her owner's pocket. A man who will permit it to be done, much less, himself dog the cows home from tKe pasture or kick or club them about the barn or yards, is not a fit person to own or have charge of cows. It is not dnly cruel to the defenseless cow, but is ruinous to his own finances, • 7 a reason that ought to appeal strongly enough to his avarice to compel proper treatment of his property if humanity will not.--Western Farmer. . THE following from the pen of S. F. Bennett, in the Richmond Recorder, tells what he thinks of the editor of our "Sol­ diers'Department: "It give pleasure to bear testimony to the ability and hon­ esty of W. H. Cowliu, of ^Woodstock, in the prosecution of soldiers' claims. An old soldier himself, almost totally disabled in the service, he has devoted himself to the religious task of getting justice from the Govern­ ment for his old comrades in armfe. It has become to him a sacred duty to help the nations defenders to their just dues. If any reader of this article has a claim against the Government, Wm. H. Cowlin, Woodstock, 111., is the man to apply to." ' , An exchange says; "Business tnm who daub up their letter heads and envelopes with rubber stamps may think they are saving a few cents in printing, but we doubt it, considering the way, in which they buy their paper and envelopes, and if they do save a few cents in that way, they lose much more through the suspi­ cion with which wholesale houses and large concerns look upon those rubber daubs. The style of stationery used plays a more important part in commer­ cial circles than some of our rubber stomp printers imagine." 1,000 FANS FREE. * Everybody visiting our place July ^th will be presented with a rqaeonably good Fan, all free, pon't forget this. JO&S: ISYAKSOS & Co. THE following from an exchange is sound gospel: "Many mothers imagine their daughter's fortune is made when she learns enough to thump on a piano, or labors enough to daub a cheap chro- mo, or to work a yellow dag on a door mat. Girls are too glad to be spoiled that way. Teach them to command a regiment of pots and kettles: teach them to make good bread, good coftee, teach them to make garments and to patch them when they need it. Teach them physical development; teach them that it is more cruel and less christian for the American women to cramp and distort their lungs, liver, and stomach, than it is for the Hottentots to press their heads flat, or for the Chiuese to make their feet small. Good, healthy and industrious girls make happy homes, good wives and mothers. Without good healthy mothers, no nation cap long ensure."

Are you aware the Fair erf 1889 will aoon be here? Sept. H-6 lis the date. Such in the fact, and. it is our expecta­ tions to make it the best of "afft Iwejd, provided we can depend upon you for a small part. If each one will only do a small share, in the aggregate it will amount to great proportions. You ought to know by this time the McHenry County Fair is no humbug. Its program for the past eight years ought to be a recommend sufficient to guarantee a good one this year. If yop will leave that matter to us, we will vouch for its success. What we most desire is for each one to commence now and prepare some­ thing to exhibit. The season thus far has been propitious. Vegetables never bet­ ter, which thus fattens your stock. Will you do it? The ladies always do well. For proof just recall the Agricultural Hall for years back. Yet new exhibitors ought to come into the arena and carry off some of the honors. The list has been revised in all departments, which you can receive by dropping a postal card to the Secretary. Let us make the county Fair of 1889 a greater success than aver. Your friend, -- A. S. WRIGHT, Sec. FOLLOWING is an extract from a story written for her class by a little girl seven years of age. She sterns to have pretty correct ideas regarding "political hus­ bands." She says: "Now about this time Mr. Simpson began to prevade the country. He was a good liver aud a high politician, but not much of a father. Mrs. Simpson was of a good family, but Was not very good at training her children, so they came very • near not having any very good parents. Mr. Simpson boarded at a house where there were a good many other political hus­ bands. One night he came home. He had lost his politics, though he had had the situation nine years and had ex­ pected to keep it for twenty, or at least for ten. But now he had lostlt and was almost pocketless." A SPECIAL telegram from Aurora to the Sunday Inter Ocean says: "John Collins a wealthy farmer living in .Oswego town­ ship, about seven miles south-east of Aurora, was confidenced out of $5,000 Saturday by three-card monte men, who worked one of the old time-honored rack- ets^m him. One pretended to be a rich Southerner who wanted to buy a farm. The other did the role of the monte shark. Collins was persuaded to come to Aurora and borrow the amount named to make up a stake, He borrowed $3,000 at. one bank and $2,000 at an­ other, A. W. Shelton indorsing his notes. The swindlers were traced to Aurora, and the team they drove was discovered hitched by the Universalist church on Main street. No further trace of them was unearthed, although the authorities have done everything possible to appre­ hend them." This same gang tried their scheme on a farmer near Elburn last week, but without success, and* were well advertised in the papers of that section, yet they found a victim within fifteen miles of the one they tried before. THE success which has attended the production of Bluebeard-Jr. at the Chi­ cago Opera House is one of the most not­ iceable in the history of theatrical affairs in Chicago. Up to last Saturday night some sixteen performances had been given, and over 86,000 people have wit­ nessed the gorgeous spectacle. Since the nitial production the comedy features have been broadened, and what at®* the first was simply dwarfed by the glitter aud gorgeousness of the scenery and accessories is now a prominent feature of the entertainment. Visiting managers from other cities, such as Augustine Daly, Mr. Miles from Cleveland and some from London, say that nothing so elab­ orate has been seen on the stage of any theater The piece is destined to be the greatest success of all the spectacular productions brought out since Jarrett & Palmer first electrified New York with The Black Crook. The success of Blue­ beard Jr. is all the more notable from the fact that it is the third spectacular success of the Chiccago Opera House. No management ifi this country has ever scored more than two consecutive suc­ cesses in the same line of work. The first production of the Chicago Opera House was The Arabian Nights, the second, The Crystal Slipper, which was even more gorgeous than the first; and now comes Bluebeard Jr., which eclipses all, both in its elaboration and in its popularity with theater-goers of Chicago and the sur­ rounding country. The piece has all the elements of success. Its ballets are most elaborate, and there is an attention to detail that is seldom witnessed even in a legitimate performance. The coryphees are exceptionally pretty and have been selected with the greatest care from the best ballets in the country. It is a sub­ ject of remark in Chicago that a larger number of handsome women have never been gathered together in one production than is seen in Bluebeard Jr. This-is due to the great care which has been exer­ cised by the management in the selection. The piece has been in preparation for twelve months, and some idea of the enormous amount of work involved can be gathered from that fact. All the mat­ inees so for given have been crowded by ladies and children, and although it might be thought that in this respect the present production would not be as pop­ ular as Cinderella, it has proved quite the contrary. New features are now in preparation, and will be added from time to time to the thousand novelties now in the piece. It will be observed that Man­ ager Henderson has made a departure from the rule that holds at* the best theatres in Chicago. Matinee prices are reduced to $1 for the best) seats. The lowest price on these occasions is 25 cents. The piece igill run until further notice.

Kee, of Chicago, have been spending a few days here with friends. • One of those sudden calamities that are called "dis{tensations of Provi­ dence," occurred here last Friday evening which has cast a glooni over the whole community. Mrs. Dr. Ray (wee Birdie Morton), aged 22 years, died very sud­ denly about 10:30 v. M., of paralysis of the heart. She had visited her mother and taken tea with hej parents at the usual time, and complained but little of any unusual feeling, not enough to at­ tract attention, returning to her own residence early in the evening. Suddenly she complained of uneasy feelings, of dis­ comfort, and soon of a benumbed, heavy feeling, and suddenly expired. It was a great surprise to all, and the whole com­ munity feel saddened by the tragic occur­ rence. The funeral sermon on Sunday afternoon at the Congregational church, was preached by Rev. Air. Rowlands,, of Elgin, her former pastor. Two years be­ fore he officiated at her marriage. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers, wrought by loving hands. On this, her second wedding anniversary day her remains were interred at our ceme­ tery. It was indeed a sad and a sudden end of her young career. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends in this, their hour of heavy sorrow. Master Leon Helm has been quite sick but is now on the recovery. The Ladies' Sewing Society will meet with Miss Annie Kee, July lOtli, Mrs. George Marshall, of Elgin, was calling on friends here on Monday of this week. ' A Card of Thanks. v Or.

Biahnn'fL Letter From Iowa. IIKITT. Iowa, June tub, IMS. Eomte pLAiximALgiiWIMM* f left McHenry something over a year ago, I promised a good manyfriends and neigh­ bors that I would write and give them a little informaHtou about this part of the country, and as 1 have failed in most cases to do so, I will, with your consent, write to them through thecolumns of the PLAINOEALER. • Hancojk County, Iowa, is situated about midway across the State from east to west, and in the second tier of counties south of the Minnesota State line. This county is traversed by three lines of railroad, and a fairprospect of at least one more. We have the main lftie of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pa Minneapolis & St. Louis, aud the Burling­ ton, Cedar Rapids & Northern. This is what you would commonly cajl a prairie country, although- in some parts of this county there is plenty of natural timber. As to artificial timber nearly all of the farmers ha ve fine groves, which are easily and quickly raised. It also lessens the amount of tax upon the land. To any one wishing to spe a beau­ tiful prairie country you can see it here. It will look more like a timber country in a. few years, as the groves are coming on so fast. The land in -this part of the State is as good as any one can wish for. We raise good crops of wheat, oats, bar­ ley, flax, potatoes, corn, etc. AH kinds of small fruits do remarkably well. The oldest settlers that have good groves raise what apples they need for their own use. It is a. number one stock and dairy country. The land produces good grass v y of it. Ti - does well. and plenty, of it. Timothy and clover A groat deal of the land is owned by non-residents, which gives the farmers a good chance to get hay almost for the making of it, and their young cattle they can put into a herd and have them kept till fall for seventy-five cents per head, aud then they are hit enough for beef. It is also a very healthy country for stock of all kinds. We have but a very small portion of waste land, as almost every acre that is not good tillable laud, is good meadow or pasture. In regard to moving west, iny idea of the matter is this:"If you have a farni or home of your own, are doing well, and contented, stay where you are, whether it be in Illinois, or wherever it may be. But if you are working a farm on shares, or paying a big cash rent, then I think it is much l>etter to couie West. Here land is good and the price is low. If you are not able to pay for the land at first you can rent for a few years, or can buy on long time, and pay for it from the prod­ ucts of the land. A good many moved from hare to the Cumberland Mountain country of Ten- oessee in the last few years. Some of them have got back to Iowa, and more are coming as fast as they can get back. Improved farms here are worth from $15 to $35 per acre. About $20 is an aver­ age price. Wild land from $8 to $15. The best is $10 to $15. ' Some a little higher. As 1 have made my letter much longer than I at first intended, I will bring it to a close by saying that if anyone wishes to know more oi the country, they can write to me at Britt, Iowa, and I will try and give them the desired information. We receive the PLAINDEALEU ev^ry week. Have only missed three or four copies since we have been here--almost 10 months. STEPHEN RAYMONP. . . ; ;, Jjlotioe to Supervisors.
