With good weather a big crowd may be expected. A MASSACHUSETTS Second. Adventist has prophesied the end of the world on the 7th of October next. People herea­ bouts can go right on with their respec- " tive occupations, but the PLAINDEALEII'S delinquent, subscribers, however, should pay up ere that date, otherwise it may be.to their disadvantage. y A VERY sensible exchange reaonai this conclusion: "No man should deprive his wife and family of a good local paper. They do not go out from home to learn the news as does the husband and father, and tlie paper serves to relieve the Other- • wise lonely hours of his absence. It is the worst possible economy to deprive the family of a good local paper/' AN exchange says that every newspaper in the State should publish the fact that burnt corn is a sure cure for hog cholera. It was first discovered by the burning of a pile of corn belonging to a distillery at •Peoria. Before that time a number had been dying each day with cholera, but the disease immediately disappeared. The remedy is so" simple that it can be • easily, tried. F SEPTEMBER, the month of county fairs, oysters, falling leaves and pumpkins, is with us in all its pristine glory. An oc­ casional summer boarder, like the "last rose of summer" still lingers. The inos- - quitoes have presented their bills and re­ tired with the first breath of autumn, fcjie flies are on us bad--there's millions of them--in mute revenge they give a last Wicked bite, and their little race is run. Yesterday, all was roses; to-day,nothing but leaves'. And yet, »who will not say that autumn with all its ghosts of sum­ mer loveliness, is not the most beautiful QlqjyL--^K. -* • ' v- * ^ ̂ ' V ' "' ' " ; : : As will be seen by his card in another olumn, Dr. O. J. Howard has moved his office and residence from the West Side, and now occupies a part of Lewis Waite's house, one block east of the public school building, and nearly opposite the Me­ Henry Brewery, where he can hereafter be ^ound ready to attend calls as usual. AN item clipped from one of our ex­ changes expresses our mind numerously. We have met the person referred to fre­ quently. We don't really feel like killing him, but would "stuff his head into a flour-bag" if we could: "I cannot re­ frain from mentioning a person who is quite numerous in every community . He means well, no doubt, but he is exasper­ ating. He is wherever there's a fire, or a runaway, or somebody gets murdered, or a fellow's hat blows off, and he invaria­ bly sings out, 'There's an item for ydd?* editor is furnished with the facts, or, 'You've got something for 3'our paper now.' You feel like killing him then and there, but forbear out of consid­ eration for his mother." THE lecture by Mrs. Slater, at the City Hall, on Tuesday evening, was, we are sorry to say, very poorly attended, but all who were there pronounced it a very interesting and instructive entertain­ ment Her descriptions of Florida, and the sights and scenes in that much mis­ represented country, showed conclusively that instead of being a land flowing with milk and honey, it was one vast pest house, reeking with malaria, where many who are deceived into going there for health are hurried to untimely graves. This lecture by Mrs. Slater should be heard by all, and we sincerely hope she may meet with better audiences in other places. Her lecture is certainly one of e best delivered here in many a day. /• THIS Fair at Woodstock, last week, drew out a large crowd, and was pro­ nounced a success in every particular. Tinier business prevented us from attend­ ing but a part of one day, but we had expected other parties to send us notes to enable us to make a general review, but they have failed to reach us at the time of gqing to press. Therefore, we can only say at this time that every de­ partment was full and the shopr in each has not been better for ^ears. (The most noticeable feature in Floral Hall was the MeHenry Department, in which John Evanson & Co., of this village, made one of the grandest displays ever seen in that hajjl It was an honor to the Fair and an honor to our town. We shall, in the near future, have more to say in relation to different departments, and articles on exhibition. In the meantime we can truly say the Fair of 1889 has passed into history as one of the many success­ ful exhibitions by that Society.. YOUR local papers tell you when to go' to church, to county, circuit and probate court, and when to send the children to school, and nearly everywhere else you have to go. It tells you who is dead, sick, births, and many other things you like to hear. It calls your attention to all public enterprises, advocates good schools, law, temperance and order^in your town and county. It rejoices with you in prosperity and sympathizes with you in distress. It records the marriage of your daughter, the death of your son, the illness of your wife, free of charge. It booms your town and builds up your business, whether you patronize it or not. It sets forth the attractions and advantages of the city, and invites immi­ gration, and is always the first to wel­ come new-comers. Time would fail to enumerate half it does for its own people and yet we sometimes hear a man Bay his own paper is not half so good as some city paper that never did anything |or him or his business. Such men are too narrow to live and too close-fisted to die.--Ex. E. M. Qwen & Son sell the best buggies in the world. Five to enter and three to start. ' Entries close on Saturday, Sept. 28.

We have a very fiue half mile track which is receiving regular and thorough work, and will be in better erudition than ever before. ;he Geneseo paper we find the^bllow- ing account of the Cambridge races, in which Mcllenry's favorite horse, "George O.," took part: In the 2:22 class Thursday, thef-e were but two starters, George O., a fine young stallion driven by William Baxter, of MeHenry, 111., and Star Hambletonian, driven by P. M. Crockett, of Coal Valley George O. has a record of 2:2G, this be­ ing- the first race of his second season, but Hambletonian, with arecqrd of 2:23. was undoubtedly the favorite. The result of the first heat was a bad defeat for the favorite. In the second heat George 0 took the lead, when Hambletoniau'% driver commenced yelling like a Co­ manche, frightening the to-be winner and Ciiusing him to break both his trot and a blood-vessel. At the end of the halPjnile George 0. was ble&ling severely at the nose, and was disabled to the extent that he lost the heat on what appeared to the spectators to be an obvious foul. The .veiling driver was fined $20. George 1)., although in poor condition, bravely fin­ ished the race, taking second money A7;KEAT many people we find, seem to take it as a matter of course that if any member of their family gets married, the printer will know all about it by intui­ tion and will proceed to prepare and print a suitable notice of the circum­ stance with all particulars; and as a rule such people are disappointed if such no tices do not appear and proceed to give the printer "down the banks" for his "neglect," "partiality," etc. Now, the amount of it is, if you want it mentioned in the paper when any member of your family dies or gets married, see that the It is not his duty, nor can he afford, to hire a horse and skirmjsh around - the country in search of such matters. OUR legislators put certain weeds into the criminal class and condemned them to death for the mischief that they do to the farmers' crops, and hence to the com raunity's pocket. But they regard with indifference the pestiferous ragweed, which only attacks the health of the pub­ lic and let it live on in lawful existence. Many cases of hay fever would probably be only mild catarrhs if it were not for the acrid poison of the pollen from this fast-spreading plant. So, if sorrels and ox-eye daisies must die let the repulsive and venomous ragweed go with them. -- Whitewater Register. THE favorite comedian, Mr. W. H. Crane, will be the star of the Chicago Opera House for two weeks, beginning on the 16th inst. This will be his first engagement since the dissolution of the dramatic partnership qf Robson & Crane, and he will mark the event by a grand production of a new four-act American comedy by Grander Jfatthews, and George N. Jessop, entitled, On Proba­ tion, in which he will play Jonathan Gilspie, of Chicago, The play deals with the adventures of three typical Ameri­ cans--Gilspie, his tuft admiring spinster sister, and secretly betrothed fiance in Europe. The opening scene is laid in Paris, and thence the characters drift to Switzerland, and the plot affords Mr. Crane and his supporting cast ample op­ portunity for good acting and laughter- provoking speeches and situations. Mr. Crane's supporting company consists of ueorgie Drew Barrymore, Miss Lizzie Audson, Miss Augusta Foster, M#s Jen­ nie Karsner, Miss Jane Stuart, Mr. James Neil, Mr. T. D. Frowley, Mr. Henry Berg­ man, Mr. Wm. Hubert, Mr. Harry Bra- ham, Mr. J. J. Gilmartin, and Mr.,Geo. F. DeVere, stage manager. No expense will be spared in mounting the play. Its scenery and appointments were designed by Mr. Ernest Albert, who painted the former. Mr. Henry E. Abbey, of New York, kindly loaned Mr. Wm. Seginan to rehearse the play, and one of its authors, Mr. Jessop, will be present the first night to witness the birth of his brain-child. In short, everything that money can do or experience suggest will be done for the play in order that it may secure the pub­ lic favor. CIDER MILL.

IF*' you jonld see your own scalp through ail (Ordinary magnifying glass, you would oe amazed at the amount of dust, dandruff, and dead skin thereon The best and most popu- for cleansing the scalp is •r« Another Minister Gkrae Wrong. The residents of Wauconda are greatly wrought up over the elopement of the pastor of the Baptist Church, the Rev. J. K. Griffis, with Miss Anna Tidmarsh, a young lady who lived next door to him. He leaves an estimable wife and two children, who have the hearty sympathy of the entire community. GHffiH became pastor of the Baptist Church at Waucon­ da several mouths ago, having come there from Toronto, Canada, with letters, of recommendation and introduction from Baptist {>eople. He was well liked as a pastor, and has pronounced gifte as a pulpit orator. On Tuesday afternoon of last week the Rev. Griftis went to Harrington, telling his wife he intended making a visit at Chicago to be present at a clerical gathering. At Harrington he hired*a horse and buggy, and that everting returned to Wauconda arid drove to the home of Miss Tidmarsh. Not fifty feet from where his wife was sleeping he was met by the young lady, who had with her all her belongings and $100 of her mother's money. Where they have gone no: one knows. The young lady left a letter stating that she was going away with her pastor, bidding the family goo.l-by and asking that no one blame "Joe." Mrs. Griffis is left with her two little boys wholly unprovided for her ..recreant husband having taken every cent of money in the house and even her little jewelery. ItTB to be hoped that the Reverend reprobate will be caught and summarily treated to a coat of tar and feathers. He is another, sample of the traveling mountebanks, of which we have had occasion to speak heretofore. , "The Great Corn Palace.'* wipie Committees that have in charge t|ie arrangements for the coming corn ,palace at Sioux City, promise a display far exejediug anything of the character heretofore attempted.

Hancock is exceptionally poor and the back­ ground very scratchy. In the center, in the upper right hand corner of the face containing the figure 2, the geo metric lathe-work is discern able while in the genuine it is very distinct. The check letter C, next to the vignette of Hancock, is very indistinct, and it is ommitted altogether in the right end of the note. The small letters in the border of the face are very indistinct. On the back of the note the lathe-work is so poor that a glance would at once enable one to determine its false character, and the words, "Bureau Engraving and Printing," i.i small panel, lower center of back, can hardly be discerned.

JOHN EVANSON £ Co There was a terrible epidemic of dysen­ tery and bloody flux in Pope County, Illinois, last summer. As many< as five deaths occurred in one day. Messrs. Walter Brothers, of Waltersburg, sold over 380 bottles of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy during this epidemic and say they never heard of it's failing in any case when the direc­ tions were followed. It was the only medicine used that did cure the worst cases. Many persons were cured by it after the doctors had given them up. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W. Besley.

During our County Fair at Woodstock, we have arranged to place on Exhibition an elegant line of Underwear in Ladies1 and Gents', both all wool and mixed. Also Silk Umbrellas and other Gents furnishing goods. There are about 500 Dozen Underwear in the lot. The sale of these goods will open Wednesday after­ noon when you may look out for bar­ gains not obtainable elsewhere. Respectfully. JOHN EVANSON 6€O, Worth makes the bargain, and want of it the cheat, ~ Crist* ̂and his goods are never to The blood will foDow where the knife is driven; The flesh will quiver where the pincers tear; And trade will follow wherethe merchant's striven, As Cristy £ Son to make their prices fair. i .. '0 To tirade at Cristy's, means wealth and health Wealth from our cheapness, from our goodness, health. Mat. McCabe, of New Brunswick, 111., offers to pay five dollars to any person troubled with bloody flux, who will take Chamberlain's CoKe Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy according to directions and does not get well in the shortest aossible time. One half o a 25 cent jottie of this remedy cured him of bloody flux, after he had tried other medicines and the prescriptions of physicians with­ out benefit. Mr. McCabe is perfectly safe in making his offer, as more than a thousand bottles of this remedy are sold each day and it has never been known to fail in any case of colic, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea or bloody flux, when the plain printed directions were iolla#d.
