OWEK, Sec'jr THE Kane county papers two weeks ago published Dud Randall's obituary, and now Dud writes from somewhere down South that he is neither dead nor sleeping. Well, he ought to know, and we think the Kane county papers are real mean to dispute him. ALL should bear in mind Memorial Day, on Friday next, and laying aside all ordinary -business turn out and help decorate iu honor of our soldier dead. The services here promise to be of the most interesting character. Read the programme in another place. SiMPsoyr & Co., of Kenosha, Wis., are now in this vicinity putting up Copper Lightning Conductors, weather vanes, ornaments and fixtures, and we wish to fcay to our readers that they are a relia­ ble firm and should not be classed with the sharks who travel around the coun­ try in this business. Messrs. Simpsott Co. have one of the best rods on the market, which they will sell you at a reasonable price, and what they tell you you can rely upon. They come recom­ mended by such men as J. I. Case, J. Y. Quarles, and others, and we believe them to be square, upright business men, I MARRIED--At the residence of the bride's parents, in MeHenry, on Wednesday evening, May 21st, 1890, by Rev. H. Slad%-jiUiii L. Mead, of ChfrnflBj ffriifl LUtl V Miss Cora McOinber, of this village. The bride is the youngest daughter of Henry McOmber, while the groom is a son of H. C. Mead, who lives just west of this village. Guests were present from Chicago, Elgin, Woodstock and Rich­ mond, and the occasion was a highly enjoyable one. The presents were both valuable and numerous, and s^pws the high esteem in which the happy couple are held by their many friends. That their life may be long, happy, and pros* ^perous, is the wish of, yours truly. ^ THE Opening Party at the Riyerside House, on Friday evening last was a grand success in every particular. About one hundred couples were in attendance, which we believe was one of the largest May Parties ever held in this village, and that all were well pleased with the enter­ tainment they received was evidenced by the fact that they all r.-mained until four o'clock in the morning. In short it was the unanimous verdict of all that the music was good, the Supper superb and that the Hall was never in finer shape for dancing than on that eveniug, And another thing was proved, and thai? was that mine host Brewer not only knows how to run a Hotel, but how to run a Party as well, all of which will instita bim a crowd in the future. what merchant was not advertising, so that it could spin its web across his store! * iy door and be free from disturbance.

IN another column can be found a new advertisement of the "Arnold Automatic Steam Cooler," which from a hurried ex­ amination we should say is an article that no family can afford to be without. It is cheap.^ durable and labor-saving;; and is so simple that anyone c$n under­ stand it at a glance. Those who have used them say they would not be without one at any cost. The following is what the Richmond (fazette says of them after having seen its workings: Henry Burdick has been engaged this week delivering the first order for the Arnold Steam Cooker. Those having expressed an opinion as to its merits are loud in their praise of the invention, both as a saver of fuel and as one that greatly improves the provisions cooked. He has several more orders on his "book and will soon Order another lot. Mr. Burdiok will canvass Hebron soon, and the Ga­ zette takes plensure in recommending^ him to its readers as a reliable inan': whose statements -<nd promises can be relied upon. Give him a hearing and the cooker a trial aud we are convinced both agent and yourself will be benefitted. --Richmond Gazette, March 20, 18(H). THE presentation of Don Quixote at tJie Chicago Opera House by the Bosto- niatts has proved to be the most attracti ve production of light opera of the season. The opera has been witnessed by crowd­ ed and fashionable audiences for the past two weeks, and press and public unite in pronouncing it a most emphatic suc­ cess. In all probability Don Quixote could be continued at the Chicago Opera ouse for several weeks longer, as the audiences show no signs of diminution. TJnTTiyfirst night every nulliber wdfc re= Decoration Day in MeHenry. Arrangements to observe Decoration ay in an appropriate manner, in this illage, have been made, and all are in ited to meet at G. A. R; Hall, at 1:30 p. M. sharp, on Friday, May 30, from which place the line of inarch will be taktn up at 2 o'clock. The order of march will be as follows: ^ 1--Ring woodXornet^Bapd.

By that day wild flowers will be in abundance should others be scarce. But be sure aftd be on hand with a bouquet of some kind. Should the weather prove stormy the exercises will be held in 0. A. R. Hall. demanded, and an almost equal number of encores have been given at each per­ formance. In fact, the opera seems to be exactly what the public wants at this season of the year when heavier enter­ tainments cease to prove attractive. The opera is full of bright humor and sparkling melody, while the beautiful Spanish costumes and scenery are in themselves attractive. At the close of the run of Don Quixote a new opera by Messrs. de Koven and Smith will be pre­ sented, entitled, Robin Hood. It is said to be by far the best opera that these "^authors have yet produced, being pictur- eMjne, tuneful and melodious. It will be given a very elaborate production, so far as scenery and costumes are concerned, being fully up to the standard set by the Chicago Opera House in these rpsjiects. The Bostonians is certainly one of the most popular operatic organisations be­ fore the public, Memorial Day, The Memorial Day number of the Youth's Companion just issued will appeal especially to nil those to whom our Dec­ oration Daj brings tender and sacred memories. The illustrations are of a high character and the stories of a patriotic nature. Among them is the $1,000 Prize §tory for Girls entitled, "Way out in the rairie Kentry." It tells in touching language how adevoteddaughtersecured the decoration of her father's grave. "Inside the Lines," in which two boys aretheheroes; "Peggy Selden'sJourney," an interesting story relating the expe­ riences of a young girl, a tramp, a pet dog and some Yale studeuts; "A Deco­ ration Day Parade" and "Reunited" are stories full of the spirit of the day. Besides the stories there are other feat ures including j>eetry, short anecdotes, articles of info.mation, with a whole page devoted to the entertainment of the very young children. i1 SPECIAL BARGAINS.
