We adviseall interested to shun outside attorneys and employ Wm. H. Cowlin, of Woodstock. We think it to the advantage oi claimants to deal with those who are known to be reliable, and Comrade Cowlin eertaiuly is entitled to what business of this kind there is in this oonnty, as he was the means of establish­ ing a board of examining surgeons in the county, thereby saving to our poorer comrades much expense when ordered at a distance for examination. Comrade Cowlin ranks No. 1 as an attorney and served his country long and faithfully and was in the thickest and hottest of the fight, besides serving many months in Andersonville and other Southern prisons. Also to those who are obliged to employ an attorney at a distance from their homes, we say Comrade Cow­ lin is the man of all others for you to get to prosecute your claims.

GEO. W. OWEN, President. Crystal Slipper, or Prinee Pretti- witz and Little Cinderella," has scored an unmistakable hit at the Chicago Opera House, where it is being presented every evening, and at the Wednesday and Sat­ urday matinees. The present week there will be a special matinee performance on the fourth of July. The piece is, if possi­ ble, better than on the opening night of the present season. Then there were the usual hitches inseparable from a first performance, but now the artists in the cast are working together well, and the magnificent scenery is moving like clock­ work. A new song entitled, "Chicago," has just been introduced in the piece by Mr. Edwin Foy. It has been the rage for some months in the music halls of Lon­ don, Eng., and is bound to create quite a Ifurore in this country. It deals largely Erifcfa the World's Fair problem and is till of local and national allusions. John ). Gilbert, who plays the part of Tallstoy |Ln the present production, is quite as kood in tlfe role as in everything else. Mr. Gilbert is one of the most conscien­ tious farcical comedians on the A merican stage. He is a hard worker and is full of an unctious humor that delights his earers. Of Mr. Daboll in the part of the aron, little m« .re can be said than that e invests the character with the dignity hich the part calls for. The manage­ ment of the Chicago Opera HOUR? should Congratulated in getting together jiuch a lot of shapely girls. Without a jidoubt the company is one of the best and fone of the most talented ever brought together for the purpose of presenting an extravaganza. The ballet, too, is the largest that has ever been seen in a Chi­ cago theater. It is composed of pretty and graceful dancers who have been dili­ gently rehearsed into a high state of per­ fection. The best proof of the success of the piece is the size of its audiences. Even with the thermometer each night at nearly 90°, the boutse has been crowded to the doors, aud this in spite of strong dounter attractions. The season has now arrived when the people of the coun­ try tributary to Chicago visit the city, and it is from these that the Chicago ^Opera House, and, in fact, any place of nsement in Chicago, derives its chief upport during the hot weatljer. Last ason during Julie and July it was esti- lated that not less than 200,000 stran- ers from the States Illinois, Wisconsin, >nd Michigan witnessed "Bluebeard Jr." ••4'- PHOTOGRAPHS.

The dining room has been elegantly fur- inisbed and enlarged and will now aecom- linodate one hundred and sixty people, and everything the market affords will be found on the tables.

Morton came iu with a car-load of milch cows on Saturday last. They will sell them at auction this week Wednesday. There were two runaways in town last week. On Friday morning H. McKay's team ran away. All the damage there was done was the turning over of a milk wagon, a broken wagon tongue, and the team was cut some. On Saturday Jacob Bratsler's team ran away, but did no damage beyond a few slight breakages. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brink returned home from their wedding trip on Satur­ day last. Mr. and Mrs. John Peacock, d . Osage City, Kan., are visiting here with rela­ tives and friends. Last week was the warmest Weather on record, the thermometer standing from 90 to 109 nearly all the time from sun­ rise to sunset. But we got a »very re­ freshing shower on Sunday afternoon, which was very thankfully received. Dur­ ing the storm the lightning struck a tree on the hill above the hotel and shattered it into spliuters. The shock waked up the inhabitants of the town very sudden­ ly, some receiving quite a shock. , C. C. Prince, Superintendent, and N. Rousseau, Assistant Superintendent of construction of the Chicago Tekphone Co., stopj)ed here over night on Saturday last. They were on a trip ot inspection from Lake Geneva to Elgiu. They ex­ pect to make great improvements in their lines in the near future. I. V. Montanye and wife of Elgin, were callers in 'Gonqu^n on Saturday last. Mr. and Mrs. F. Locker, of Elgin, vis­ ited at J. Q. Miller's on Sunday last. Mrs. F. D. Coltrin, and sou Arthur, ac­ companied by Mrs. Helm, Sr., of Brace- ville, 111., are visiting with relatives and friends here. Miss Grace Peter and Master Willis are visiting with the Julians at Leland, III. Mrs. Binnie and children, of Chicago, are the guests of her sister, Mrs. E. A. Ford. James Stewart, and daughter, Mrs. John Johnston, started for Scotland on Tuesday of this week, where they intend makiug a visit of about two months with relatives and friends. Mrs. Pruess met with a serious accident last Thursday. While up in a tree pick­ ing cherries, the limb on which she was resting gave way, and she fell to the ground She struck on her left shoulder, crushing some of the bones in the socket, and also sustaining many bruises. She is now doing as well as possible, but it will be many weeks before her arm will be of much use to her. Li bbie Jay lie was taken quite severely sick last Saturday afternoon, due to the severe heat and other causes. She is now better and will, we hope, soon be herself again. The concert given at the Congregation­ al church last Thursday evening, by J. I. Sears aud his pupils, was a ver.v pleasant one. The church was well filled with an unusually intelligent "aud appreciative audience, aud in spite of the intense heat, the performers held the attention of the audien<ie to the end. The performances on the organ and piano by the pupils were well rendered, and showed a pro­ ficiency on the part of the young ladies that was complimentary to the teacher. Mr. Sears himself rendered several line pieces on the violirf, and showed himself a master of the instrument. The vocal duet by Misses Lizzie and Kitty Doag was given in their usual pleasing manner. The concert as a whole was a well ar­ ranged one, and pleased the audience, aud was another proof of the fact that a first class entertainment will always draw a good audience and give satisfac­ tion. The benefit a village receives from hav­ ing a good hotel proprietor is daily being shown here. Under Mr. and Mrs. Mor­ ton's management the rooms of the Al­ gonquin hotel are kept filled with Chi­ cago and other visitors, and those who come once, come again. The river this year has quite a flotilla of boats in serv­ ice, and as the water-course is clear and broad for miles, it is daily improved. Then the fishing is good this season, and visitors enjoy catching the fish, and af­ terward eating them, cooked and served with the inviting accompaniments the hotel can furnish. So that altogether, our delightful village is being brought to the attention of outside visitors, as never l>efore, aud the result is daily visible in the number of strange faces we meet on the street. It is a good state of affairs and we all like it. » ••One nio-e nnfortuna>. Weary of breath, Raslilv impnrtuua e, Gone to his dentb " John Siman came to his death at about five o'clock Monday morning, by hang­ ing himself, while laboring under mental despondency. It had for some time been known to intimate friends of the deceased that he was weary ot life and had an idea of self destruction. But most looked at it as partly a joke. It proved, however, a ghastly joke, when he was found dead this morning. On Sunday he tried to get possession of an old pistol be owned, but his wife had prudently hidden it, and hence he could not use that weapon. He made many gloomy remarks during the day and evening, and about three o'clock Monday morning went into the orchard back of the house, but evidently did not find things to Buit him, and soon re­ turned, saying to his wife as he returned, "if I had the pistol I would soon finish it." Between four and five o'clock he again got out of bed, and his wife heard him fixing a rope to a hook over the bed-room door. She rushed to the neighbors for help and then to Mr. Chas. Wandrack. He soon returned with her, only to find that the doomed man had accomplished his dread purpose, and was now but a cold, stiff corpse. The body was cut down at once by Mr. Wandrack and efforts to resuscitate the man were made, but they were of no avail--he was past all human help. The coroner, Dr. Cook, of Huntley, was telephoned to, and his arrival awaited by all. The coroner arrived about eleven o'clock, and at once summoned a jurv, which was composed of Dr. W. A. Nason, foreman, James Philp, John Peter, S. S. Chapell, Henry Keyes and W. Se.yk. The jury at once investigated all circumstances connected directly with the melancholy event, and returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by "Hanging himself while laboring under a fit of mental despondency." The deceased was in his fifty-eighth year, and leaves a wife resid­ ing in Algonquin, and a married daugh­ ter residing in Chicago. He leaves a small property to his heirs. His remains will be taken to Chicago for burial. FOR SALE CHEAP. A Steam Launch Catamaran, on Fox River, at McHenry, 23 feet long fitted with a one horse power Shipman Engine. Will carry six persons.
