THOMAS KIMBALL, while coining down le river with a team, Monday evening, ' broke through the ice, and himself and team both Jook a cold bath. A. L. Howe went to his assistance, and he reached home in a rather chilled condi lotion. It might have been much worse. IT is said that "shoe parties" are the ||itest fad. A curtain is stretched across ,'-T®ie room, and the ladies stand behind it • find stick their feet under it so you can v See their shoes. Then you go along and ., pick out a pair of shoes, and the lady %ho is in them must accompany you to supper. THE disease la grippe, of which so much sport has been made by most peo­ ple, is no resi>ecter of persons, and no Blatter what the condition of the body Up ay be, all are liable to be brought <V>wn /- l|y it.

He fook two out at a time and and one re­ mained ; he took four out at a time, and one remained; but when he took seven out at a time none remained. How many eggs were in the basket? The S ^ question is going the rounds of the news- < papers, and will doubtless prove as great * puKle to many as did the "hen and a half lays an egg and a half. WHEN a nice young lady accosts a young man with the interrogation, "what's the matter with this for sleighj- - f ing?" the question is suggestive, and what the lawyers are wont to term "leadi Jng," and the only way to answer it sat­ isfactorily, is for the young man to hustle ground and get a horse and cutter, and proceed to give the question what the deacon in the play would call a "practi . ,$al solution."

WE would call especial attention to the advertisement in anothercolumn,of Lots for sale at West Maaywood, a suburb of Chicago. These lots are offered on easy monthly payments, are situated in an es­ tablished and growing manufacturing suburb, where real estate is bound to double in value in a short time. Call at this office, see maps and plats and be ready to go out with the first party from this place, due notice of which will be given. ./ MR. AND MRS. J. F. CLAXTON were greatly surprised Monday about noon when team after team came driving into ithe yard to celebrate their tin wedding. The party consisted of friends from far and near, and numbered about thirty. The crowd brb^ght all kinds of eatables, together with' a good supply of oysters. Everyone sefjlgped to enjoy themselves and the party did not break up until evening, when all returned to their homes .feeling that they had, greatly surprised Uhe household. They also left several Wy useful presents as a remembrance. BURGLAR8 paid the store of J. C. Fitz- simraons a visit on Friday night last, getting away with about #25 in money, a quantity of shoes, gloves and mittens, and other goods. There is every indica­ tion that the work was done by home talent, as we learn they appeared to know where to get in and where to get outj with the least possible trouble. A good watch dog would, have been a val­ uable acquisition to that store just at that time. We believe they have some suspicions who the parties were. From tracks found it was evident there was a small boy and a man connected in the Mlis~*TSTJ4lTLE BRILL, Of Chicago, will resume her class in Music in this village and vicinity, commencing Thursday, Jan. 21st, 1892, and will meet her pupils Thursday, Friday tfnd Satur­ day of eafth week thereafter.

DIED -- At his residence near McHenry, III., on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 1H92. .lames Tyrrell, aged 73 years, 9 months and 17 days. ' • . _ . The subject of the above notice was born in Port Burwell, Canada, March 25, 1818. la 1841 he emigrated to the United States, settling in the thriving young State of Illinois. July 31st, 1812, he was married to Sarah La Dow, who bore him eight chil lren, four sons and four daughters, as follows: M. D. Tyr­ rell, H. B. Tyrrell, M. .1. Tyrrell, Arthur Tyrrell, Mrs. Lizzie Montgomery, Mrs. H. H. Brady, Mrs. G. L. Willey, and Mrs. H. O. Thompson, all of whom survive him except the youngest son, Arthur, who died Feb. 7th, 1882. Mr. Tyrrell's death was so sudden and unexpected that his friends could scarcely realize the truth when the unwelcome news was thrust upon them. He had been in his usual health up to Friday, the 8 th inst., when he was taken with la grippe, which soon terminated in pneu­ monia, and he died the Tuesday follow­ ing, as above stated, having been sick but four days. Mr. Tyrrell was a good citizen, and his genial countenance will long be missed by those who knew him best, and with whom he came in almost daily contact in the course of business transactions. As a man, Mr. Tyrrell was honored and respect by all who knew him. As a friend he was faithful, and as a husband and father he Was considerate, sympathetic and kipd. His wife survives him. and she, with the sous and daugh­ ters living, have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. The funeral exercises were held from the Universalist Church, in this village, on Friday morning last, Rev. H. Slade officiating, and his remains laid to rest in Woodland Cemetery.

In short this will be one of the finest pro­ ductions of Uncle Tom's Cabin- ever seen in this section. Do not fail to attend, at Riverside Hall, on Friday evsning.

Very frequently they are men who never saved a dollar; they make a failure of everything they undertake, but there is nothing that they do not know, let them be the judges. While no one has confidence enough in them to elect them poundmaster, yet they become self- appointed critics of the actions of others. They can tell just exactly what an alder­ man should do and what he should not do. They know all about finance, city, State and national. Although he never saw a work on political economy, he could frame a tariff bill that woqjd suit the world. He knows more about the church work than the minister, more about medicine than the doctor, and more about law than the lawyer, and is mad if they don't all consult him. It is amusing to hear him tear around. He likes to spend other people's money. Wheu a political campaign H on he is in his glory. He knows all about it. He usually takes up with every new party that comes along. Is on the off side. Abuses everybody. He is satisfied that the great majority of successful, thought­ ful, intelligent people are voting against their interests. He is on the stump if be can talk, or starts a newspaper if he can get some one to furnish the fundd. We sometimes wish the world would be left in their care for a week, we would like to see what they would do. ^ Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary I will still continue my lessons in MCHENRY. Persons wishing to engage lessons in piano and organ will find me here Friday and Saturday of each week. F. M. ARNOLD. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for February. Richard J.

We want every mother to know that croup can be prevented. True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have taken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse­ ness from the start. After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup. The time to act is when the child first becomes a hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by using this remedy as directed. It has never been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1.00 bottles for sale by G. W. Besley.
