J THE remaius of Mrs., Samuel Stopker fr, were brought here oil Tuesday and in- .terred in Woodland Cemetery by the side of her husband, who preceded her several \ r ' years ago. Mrs. Stocker has been living with daughter, somewhere iu Minnesota, '^we believe for the past few years. AT the meeting of the new ioard, onN Monday eveuinjr last, J as. 15.

The great want is for men who are well qualified for work and who will put 'their shoulder to the wheel and push. Any person who is .determined to win and who unites with his perseverance sense enough to know that success will come only to those wWd deserve it by the patience and skill with which they toil, has before him an invit- iug field for labor and may enter it with the assurance that, if his efforts are rightly directed, they will meet With a sure reward. morning last, although not unexpected, nevertheless cast a gloom over our entire community. Mr. Stevens was taken sick about four months ago, and from the be­ ginning failed so rapidly that his friends were at once fearful of the result. He had good courage, however, and was up and dressed every day until within the last few days, declaring that as soon as the warm weather set: in he would be around again. But that dread 'disease, quick consumption, had taken a firm hold and no human skill was of any avail. Mr. Stevens was one of our most enter­ prising and thorough-going business men, and by habits of strict rectitude and honesty in business and unostentatious hospitality had endeared himself to a large circle of acquaintances and friends, and left a void which will be difficult to fill. In all his business or social relations he was always candid and generous, true to a friend and generous and courteous to those who held opposite opinions. Few men who took such an active part life had more friends and fewer enemies than Mr. Stevens. He held the office of Postmaster of West McHenry for several years up to the time of Cleveland's elec­ tion to the Presidency, when he sent in his resignation. In June last he was re- appointed by President Harrison, and held the office at tho time of his death. The funeral was onfe of the largest ever held in this village. From all parts of the county came friends to pay their last respects to his memory. He was buried by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an honored member, members of the order being present from Woodstock, Richmond, Nunda, Wauconda and Hainesville. Services were held at his late residence, Rev. H. Slade, officiating, the Masonic ceremony taking place at the cemetery. Although young in years he has passed from us, loved, respected, and honored by all. May his virtues long be cherished. Chester V. Stevens was born in the town of Wauconda, Lake Couuty, III., Nov. 14,1849. He was the son of Peter and Elizabeth (Dart) Stevens. They came to McHenry county 35 yeanr ago and located at Ringwdod, since which time his father and mother, and young­ est sister, Grace, have preceded him to spirit life. He leaves two brothers and six sister^. Alto a wife and five children, two sons and three daughters to mourn bis loss. He was married to Maria F Gage, January 1st, 1871, and has re­ sided in McHenry and did business here from the time of his marriage to the day of his death. \ AT the Opening Party, at the Parker House on Thursday evening of next week, the 15gfe> Smith's ^rcbestra will furnish tiie music, and wll be composed of seven pieces, with Harp accompani- aneutjtod Will J.

At night, in gathering up the day's production, be was astonished to find uine freshly laid eggs. As he has eight hens and one rooster, and believing that the last-mentioned bird did not con tribute to the number on deposit, and as the neighbors' hens did not enter the hennery, he is ready to affirm, aa above •tated, that one of hie hens did lay two 0»ut day, , A SHARPER with a new scheme is on tbe go in this country--his course being west­ ward. He has an improved plowshare which he loans to some influential farmer, with the provision that if it proves satis­ factory he will recommend it to his neigh bors, and if at the end of the season he does uot wish to keep it he is to ship it ^o any address given him. If tbe unsus­ pecting farmer agrees to do-this the sharper draws up an article of agreement. This is writteh with a peculiarly con­ ducted fountain pen, there being two compartments in tbe holder, whieh con­ tains two kinds of ink, one of which will fade while the other will remain. With \the former . he writes the article and changes the pen, hands it to tbe farmer who signs his name with the latter kind. The result is that tbe words of the article soon fade and the sharper has a piece of white paper with the farmer's name thereon, and can make it into a note of any denomination at his leisure. Pasture for Cattle and Horses. The undersigned, on tbe old J as. Kittle farm, three miles south ^of this village, has good pasturing for a number of horses aud cattle. Good running water and the best of feed. The Census. C. C. Jones, census supervisor for dosen of the fairest counties in Illinois, is getting right down to business. He has appointed 2^6 enumerators and sent off the list for approved. There are fifteen of them for Rockford. In Rockford and Aurora the enumerators will commence June 2d and finish in twelve working days. At all other points in tbe district twenty-four days are,allowed. Mr. J ones has a bewildering array of jblanks. There are about two tons. Of the blank used for ordinary families 104,000 have been sent. These are used for families not exceeding ten persons.

Alexander, had been found dead in the rpad near McConnell & McGaw's factory just west of town. Mr, Alexander started for his farm about half past ten and the supposition is that the horse stumbled and fell, throwing, the old gentleman out. There were several gashes cut in his forehead, whether cut by striking on the ground or cut by the horse's phoe is of course unknown. The body was discovered by Geo. Foster, who immediately drove back»to town and informed the relatives of the accident. Mr. Alexander was 82 years of age and had been a resident of the town for nearly 33 years. Jie was a quiet unas­ suming man, who enjoyed the respect of all who knew him." * 1906, in late Yprinir-tooth pnlv*»ri*»a aadc Itivatowat E THE Gondoliers has tfaade «an unquali fied hit at the Chicago Opera House, and it is-to be regretted that the engagement is a brief one. This will be the last op­ portunity for a considerable time to see Gilbert & Sullivan's funniest and most melodious opera, as an extended western tour has been arranged including a long engagement iu San Francisco. The com­ pany as at present constituted is one of the best ever seen in Chicago in light opera. There are five admirable comedi ans who keep the audience in the best of humor from beginning to «hd. There are three prima donna sopranos, and each of the parts is admirably sung and acted. The performance of the Gondo­ liers as given by Manager Henderson's Company at present is more like the sparkle and vivacity of opera bouffe than any comic opera performance seen in this country for years. I'he theater has been crowded at every performance during the past week and the audiences have been most enthusiastic. Every number in the piece of any importance is nightly en­ cored, while the laughter at the amusing situations is incessant. The Gondoliers is now in the height of its success in Lou­ don, Philadelphia, B<^ton, and other cities as well as Chicago, and it is certain­ ly the musieal sensation of this present year.
