ST" The official call has been issued f0* the Illinois Republican State Convention. McHenry cottnty will have twelve dele­ gates. The call is as follows, omitting the list of conntk» with the number of delegates for each: The Republican voters of Illinois are requested to meet in county conventions and elect delegates to a Republican State Convention to be held at Springfield, Wednesday, May 4th, 1892, at two o'clock p. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates to be voted for at the November election, 1892, to fill the following offices to-wit: Governor. Lieutenant Governor. Secretary of State. Auditor of Public Accounts. State Treasurer. Attorney General. Three Trustees of the University Of Illinois. Four Presidential Electors-at-large. Twenty District Electors. Two Congressmen-at-iftrge. Also for the election of eight delegates at-large to represent the State in the National Republican Convention, to be held at Minneapolis, Minn., June 7,1892, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before it. The basis of representation for the sev­ eral counties will be held in the ratio of one delegate for every 300 votes cast for the Republican Presidential electors in 1888, and one for each fraction thereof of not less than 150 votes; provided the delegates from Cook county so elected shall be called and shall vote by Senator­ ial districts, and the several wards and parts of wards comprising the Senatorial districts which lie wholly or in part in the city of Chicago to have their propor­ tionate representation so far as is prac­ ticable.

LOST, a pocket book containing three valuable rings and a small sum of money, on the 9:05 train from Elgin, Saturday morning, Feb. 6, between Crystal Lake and Geneva Lake. Finder will please leave same with the ticket agent at Crys­ tal Lake and receive reward. K "A Sycamore farmer," says the True Republican, "early in the winter refused •11 a ton at his barn for 200 tons of tame hay; he was holding it for $ 15 a ton. His best offer now is $9 per ton delivered at the press--a difference of about $400." People do not at all times see what is for their best interests. Mor-v al--Don't get hoggish. THERE is at least one man up in Jo Daviess county who is too infernally mean to be running at large. For diver-, sion, the other day he tied the tails of two colts together and let them go. When found by the owner one of the poor brutes was down in a ditch, and the oth­ er was on the edge of it unable to get away. Such deeds as this are what makes humanity blush for itself. THERE wil^be a lecture at the City Hall on Friday evening, Feb. 12th, by Rev. Wm. II. Smith, of Richmond. Subject, "War Experiences." Rev. Smith was a chaplain in the United States army in the late war, and is a very interesting and instructive speaker. This will be a rare treat for both old and young, and no one should fail to hear it. Admission, 15 cents; school children, 10 cents. THE Rev. Geo. A. Wells for ten consecu­ tive Sunday evenings will treat subjects that may be hauded or mailed to him, accompanied by the name of the sender. The first subject will be treated t%e week following that in which the tenth subject is handed in. Notice will be given as soon as the subjects are arranged. In case more than ten subjects are handed in, he will choose the ten which to his mind are most suitable. THERE are to be found in all communi ties men who descend to plotting and Scheming fot the downfall of others, and who adopt very questionable modes to injure some harmless rival; but they are unvariably the ones who, when their own practices are adopted by others and their own weapons used agaiilst them, simu late an honest indignation and, then and there, invoke the aidAf the god of ven geance against the individual who has only sinned against a sinner. BY the Inter-Ocean of Saturday last we learn that at the election of officers for the Northern Officers Association Sons of Veterans, held at the Bre- voort House Saturday evening, Frank L. Shepard formerly of Nunda, was elect­ ed President for the ensuing year. His many friends in this connty will rejoice with us at this evidence of his popularity, Mr. Shepard is one of the rising young lawyers of Chicago, being a member of the firm of Shepard & Shepard, 36 La Salle Street. A STRIKING confirmation of the old ad age, "Monny a Mickle makes a Muckle, is found in the manufacture of Gillett'i "Magic" Yeast. Over a carload of corn per day is used in making these celebrat­ ed little yeast cakes, each car making enough yeast to raise over four million loaves of bread. A conclusive proof of the superiority of this yeast over all oth ere is the fact that it holds its trade and increases its sale steadily against all competitors. No breadtpaker having once tried a fresh cake of "Magic" Yeast will be satisfied with any other. ^0 WE would call particular attention to the Auction Sale of H. C. Mead, which is advertised for Feb. 24th. He is offering some very fine Morgan Horses for sale. Read the notice in another column. OLD LaGrippe still continues to hold his grip on ye editor. We are again obliged to put over our contemplated article on county politics. We are simply doing what we are obliged to, nothing more. WOODMEN ATTENTION!

The city paper is paid for in advance while the local paper is not paid for until a year's subscription is due, and not then nine times out of ten. The country subscriber to the city papers will please throw a stone through our win dow when they find an obituary notice of departed loved ones in their cash-in-ad­ vance city paper, or see heralded in the great metropolitan chaff catcher the ar­ rival of a ten pound rural-shoot Sf hu manity at their domicile. If the city paper puffs your town or business you may drop around and stick your finger in our eyes. THE Mt. Carroll Democrat has no mer­ cy upon the dead beat who takes the pa­ pa* a few years and then flings it back to the P. M. and has it marked "Re­ fused," without paying up the arrear­ ages. Here is the way the Democrat handles these dead beats: "One puny cuss named George Balcomb, of Savanna, refused to take his paper from the post- office, so Parkinson informs us. The man Balcomb owes 50 cents we desire to remark, and is evidently of the dead beat order. None other ever throw a paper back while owing for it aud tell the post­ master they don't want the thing. It is all right to stop a paper, and the Democrat is easily stopped, but a gentle­ man will pay for it before doing so." IS" In reply to a correspondent the Cambridge Chronicle says: Which party inaugurated the treasury note or green­ back? The Republican party. Which party declared that it was worthless? The Democratic party. Which party de­ clared in its National Convention in 1876 that every bond which bore our seal should be paid 100 cents on the dol­ lar? The Republican party. Which party opposed it? The Democratic par­ ty. Which party suppressed polygamy in Utah? The Republican party. Which party opposed it? The Democratic par­ ty.

A ^ THE Illinois Woman's Exposition Board has decided to organize clubs of woyien in every county in the State, and the work of the organization in the northern part of the State has been al­ lotted to Alice Bradford Wiles, of Free- port, who will be in Woodstock, Feb. 11 and 12, for the purpose of meeting as many women of the county as possible and forming such a club. The legisla­ ture directed our board to make an ex­ hibit of the industries of the State at the Columbian Exposition. This we cannot do without the co-operlition of the women of the State, and of each locality. We intend to form these clubs to assist us in discovering and exhibiting examples of the best work of women in every de­ partment of activity, the home, the pro­ fession, +he studio or the factory. Illi­ nois is the only State which has appropri­ ated money for a separate display of the industries of women, and therefore this display will attract mv 'i attention, andr if the pe$»£le of the State will come for­ ward loyally to our support it may be made a memorable feature of the exposi­ tion.

True and tried friends are always wel­ come, consequently "Vick's Floral Guide" is sure of a warm reception, especially as when dressed as daintily as this year. The "Nellie Lewis" Carnation on the front of cover, and "Brilliant Poppies" on the back, are unusually attractive, and the numerous colored plates of fiowers and vegetables are certainly works of art and merit. The first 24 pages print­ ed in violet ipk, describe novelties and specialties. Send ten cents to JAMES VICK'S SONS, Rochester, N. Y., and procure a copy of this attractive and useful cat­ alogue. It costs nothing, as the ten cents can be deducted from the first order.

Send for IN another column can be found an ad vertisement for "Sophus Egg Food," which is said to make hens lay and keeps them healthy, and from the recommen­ dations before us we are led to believe it is what it is recommended to be. Mrs. O. Garrison, of Greenwood, in speaking of it says: "I have used Sophus' Egg Food since March last, and am convinced that it is all that the inventor claims it to be. I am satisfied that, where fed to chickens, it will increase the laying of eggs nearly double than where it is not used. I had between 70 and 80 hens last March and in the month of April I gathered 108 dozen eggs. Have used it all summer with satisfactory results, and can there­ fore cheerfully recommend it." It is for sale in this village by John Evanson & Co. Read the advertisement in another column. FEARFUL AND WONDERFUL. The Bible says, "man is fearfully and wonderfully made." But physiologists all concede that the most wonderiul part of man is tl:e nervous system. In it are located the seats of life and mind, and the control of all the bodily organs When the nerves «re destroyed the part is paralyzed. The flesh, blood and bones are as nothing to it. Derangements of the brain or nerves are the causes of headache, fits, dizziness, fluttering of the heart, sexual weakness, sleeplessness, neu­ ralgia, cold hands and feet. A free trial bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervide--the latest and most successful cure for these diseases may be had at all drug stores. SUDDEN DEATH. The papers are full of sudden deaths.

After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup, The time to act is when the child first becomes 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 pottles for sale by G. W. Besley. FINE assortment of Pipes, Cigars and Tobacco, at B&rbian Bros. No healthy person need fetu- any dan­ gerous consequences from an attack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the same as a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold and a prompt and complete recov­ ery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the emdetnics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneu­ monia. 25 and 50 cent bottles tor sale by G.

Desiring to lessen my stock before taking my yearly invoice, I will sell during the next 20 days, all crockery, china and glassware, at greatly reduced prices.

"Why do you ask 15c for kerosene when we get it elsewhere for 12c?" This question is never asked after trying one gallon of our oil. We keep only the best grade, and claim that it will last longer, give clearer light and is safer, thereby proving cheaper than the so-called "cheap oil." Try a gallon but get a new wick also. You can find some most beautiful hand painted China at J. A. Story's. There art a few choice vases, pitchers, etc., of the "Royal Worcester" Ware, selected expressly for the Christ mas trade and they are perfect in both design and workmanship. Do not fail to see them.
