The young fellow W>k about a quart of salt and rubbed it over the calf, working it into the hair. A herd of colts in the pasture scented the salt and got after the calf. They licked the hair aR off the calf's back and tried to lick the hide off too. The farmer tried to catch the calf to wash it, but the crea­ ture thinking he wanted to lick too, kept out of his way. The boy, the calf and the farmer are all very unhappy. The colts are the only ones that had any fun out of it. HebroU Department LODGE DIRECTORY. MASOKTO.--A. F. and A.

WE. learn that an agreement haa been entered into by all of our merchants THE McCaull Opera Co. will fill its an nual engagement at the Chicago Opera House in the early part of November, during which time it will give, with all its New York investiture, the great success, "Clover." This opera has been running in New York for the past six months, and has scored a greater success there than dicT' 'iTie Brack Hdisfear," during its original representation. All the old fav­ orites are with the company, and the new ones that have been added have ma­ terially strengthened what is now and al­ ways has been the best light opera or­ ganization in America. "The City Directory," with new busi­ ness, new songs, new and pretty girls, new lines, and in fact, new everything, will appear at the Chicago Opera House in the early part of November. Mr. Rus­ sell has secured for the piece the best com­ edy talent obtainable in the country, every actor being selected with especial care for the part in which he is to appear. The consequence is that the organization is that the organization is the most fine­ ly balanced that any farce-comedy com­ pany in the country can boast of. Its success throughout the western country is an evidence that the piece will score a humorous hit in Chicago. CHICAGO theatre goers will be glad to learn that the brilliant young actress, Julia Marlowe, whose engagement at the Chicago Opera House last season was so successful, will again make her appear­ ance at that theatre for a two weeks' en­ gagement, commencing Monday, Oct. 28. When here last her renditions of Shakes­ pearean comedy and tragic roles made a very deep impression upon the theatre- going public. During the interval it is safe to assume that she has rounded out her characters to even a greater degree of excellence than before. Her aippear- ance last year was the signal for a most enthusiastic greeting by both the public and the press, and in each of the parts she essayed she met with unqualified suc­ cess. In addition to the plays in which she appeared last year, she will give sev­ eral new ones, namely, "Pygmalion and Galatea," "Cymbeline," Julia, in "The Hunchback," and probably others; and will reappear in "As You Like It," "Twelfth Night," and Parthenia in "Ingomar." By all odds thebest actress of these roles upon the American stage to-day, she will undoubtedly continue to win the plaudits of the public in her new parts. This will be her only appearance ill Chicago this season. EDITOR PLAINDEALER.--The writer and consort attended CUD uncommonly pleas­ ant social family gathering on the 14th inst., at the residence of one of McHenry's worthy enterprising business citizens, Mr. Geo. Besley. This very agreeable inter­ view was given in honor of Mr. Samuel Cone, of Waukegan, father of our worthy genial hostess, Mrs. Geo. Besley, as a birthday party. The invited guests were composed of individuals from Idaho, Waukegan, Wauconda, and Crystal Lake. Nothing seemed to be lacking on Mr. and Mrs. Besley's part to make this for their guests a happy occasion. About two p. m. this highly favored company were ushered into the dining room and seated at a long table burdened with the substantial and luxuries, such as Mc­ Henry and its rich surroundings -are capable of producing. While this hefcvy laden table was being relieved of its pressure the writer has not a Bhadow of a doubt that every individual partaker of the rich bounty before them rejoiced in themselves that Uncle Samual was born into this world, though seventy-four years since. May heaven's choicest blessings richly rest upon George and Sophia, our host and hostess. Pancake Festival.

How to ChMUfd Against the DiieH|» Croup is the terror of young mothers especially during theearly winter months, as it is then most prevalent. To post them concerning the cause, first symp­ toms, treatment, and how to prevent it, is the object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptoms of croup is hoarseness; it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized, and once heard always remembered. Usually a day or two be­ fore the attack, the child becomes hoarse and gradually shows symptoms of hav­ ing taken cold, and this is where the mis­ take is usually made, the mother think­ ing her child has just taken cold, gives it no especial attention until awakened in the night by the violent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup, and remem­ bers it has had a cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many cases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physi­ cian or dfug store. You can well imag­ ine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse, or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Rem­ edy is freely given from that time on, all tendency to croup will disappear and all danger be avoided. The remedy prevent® fully ten thousand cases of croup every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers throughout the Western States and territories; they have learned its val­ ue and how to use it, and in those fami­ lies croup is seldom known because it is always prevented. Can any mother who has small children afford to be without such a remedy? It costs but fifty cents, can she afford to take the chances for so trivial an amount ? For sale by G. W. Besley.
