" SOME ancient general is credited with advising his soldiers to "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." Just now by changing one word it makes a very good motto, that is, "Trust in God and ^Jteep your feet dry." TBB Eiiin Brick and Tile Company's Yards in this village are being put in readiness for the season's work. Super­ intendent Wentworth informs us that they will be pushed to the fullestcapacity ' m the coming season. S| THOSE two ever favorite comedians . Charlie Reed and Willie Collier, come to ' the Chicago Opera House beginning April 3d,with their latest and funniest farce comedy "HOBS and Hoss." New people, new music and new comedy features have been introduced eince the piece was last seen here. EVANSON'S Clearing Sale begins Mon- 1 . . ,.\Y ;• vm1- t i-i ̂ îii AN exchabge hits the nail--the thumb nail, so to speak--when it says: "The man who is always telling newspapers fo pitch into this, that and the other thingB and claims that it lacks nerve because it does not rip people up the back, is the same one who never wants his name used under any circumstances and is the first to cry that injustice has been done." PEOPLE who are annoyed by crowing roosters at unreasonable hours, can, says an agricultural exchange, rid themselves of this trouble by placing a board above the chicken roost at such a distance that the rooster will knock his head against it when he stretches up hiB neck. This will astonish him so that he will forget to crow. THE whole staff of the Chicago Opera House is busily engaged in preparation for next summer's superb spectacular ex­ travaganza "Ali Baba, or Morgiana and the Forty Thieves." It is said that the new piece will be by long odds the most sumptuous production that even Mr. Henderson has ever giVen the Chicago Opera House's summer patrons. "IF yon have $10 to spend," s lid Bar- num, "spend one for the article and the other nine for advertising it." The old man knew a thing or two when it came to advertising. Barnum said some years ago: "I can overlook anybody on earth but the printer. The man who can stick type and talk next morning to thousands of people while I am talking to one, is the only man I am afraid of. I want him for my friend." THE Lake County Agricultural Board have been busy the past week, revising 'the premium list. They have increased their purses about $350 over last year on speed, and $200 on balance of pre­ miums. The society have made arrange­ ments to have one thousand extra copies printed this year, so that all may be sup­ plied.

JECKS AND FAMILY. / DIED.--At his residence in this village, »n Saturday, March 26th, 1892, THOMAS KNOX, aged about 56 years. He was an old settler of this town, hav­ ing lived here almost from boyhood.. On Saturday morning he arose as usual and . about 7 o'clock was stricken with paraly­ sis and died at 11 o'clock, only four hours after he was first taken. His fun­ eral was held from the Catholic Church on Monday and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends. THIS is the way a good lacttBr in a town helps it. Marengo recentjflpocated a big stove factory there and the effect on real estate is told by the Republican: Real estate is steadily advancing. Property that was offered at a sacrifice before the boom, is now held at what would have heretofore been considered a fancy figure. Not a house in town to ifent and there'll be a call for scores in the course of the next three months. There will be a great many new houses built as soon as the weather becomes settled, and then in all probability the supply will equal the demand--all of which remains to be seen. * -- THE Annual Town Meeting occurs on Tuesday next, and two Tickets are pre­ sented to the voters of this Town, which can be found printed in full in another part of this paper. Some parties are in­ dustriously circulating the report that the first ticket nominated at the regular­ ly called Caucus, namely the People's Ticket, is not a legal ticket. Voters should not be deceived. There are two tickets, both are legal, and voters can take their choice, vote either one in full, or part of one and part of the other. Follow the instrmctions of the law an^ there will be no trouble. Take no notice of croakers. EVANSON'S Clearing Sale begins Mon­ day.

FACTO**. _ Jaetojj has been all the fallc iere for t!te past week, and it now looks as though McHenry might secure the priw. At the meeting on Thursday last a good deal of interest was manifested by the large attendance and more than half the money needed •^gtspledgcd on the spot. A committee " v>uo have sincu iimi at work, and we are reliably informed will report favorable results at a meeting to be held at the City Hall this afternoon. There is now no good reason why Mc­ Henry cannot procure this new industry to locate in our midst. It is one that will not benefit the few but all, both in­ side the village and for miles around. Then let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and help the thing along. Let no little personal preferences deter us from doing ^hat will be of so much benefit to all. We hopeto be able to report next week that the matter has been definitely settled in our favor and that work has actually been commenced on the build- School Kepart. is the report of the Xfcfitenry F ubiic Schools for the month ending March 25, 1892: HIGHER DEPARTMENT.

If this sort of thing goes on the Democratic national platform will be an odd sort of a docu­ ment. The presentation of a resolution againat any legislation for new public buildings, by the chairman of the House Committee on public buildings and grounds, was loudly applauded by cer­ tain Democratic editors, but these same editors appear to have entirely overlook ed the announcement of the nt of the resolution by a two-thirds vote of the committee.

The story then told was that he was bound and robbed while the rest of his family were at church. The Elgin Courier of last Saturday publishes the following on the same case: The Henry Meyer daylight robbery has taken a new phase and Barriiitfton is apain excited. The detective employed is said to have dropped the case because he was satisfied Meyer robbed aud bound himself. In fact it is reported that the money alleged to have been taken has been iound in his bouse. It will he re­ membered that the robbers were said * to have destroyed some valuable papers. Meyer has enjoyed highest repute. He was formerly a German Evangelical-min- ister«.nd the church there called a meet­ ing to consider the matter. It is goss;p- ed that the the papers destroyed related to the accounts of his gurdianship of an orphan boy. It is thought by some that illness had made him somewhat insane. SPECIAL EXTRAORDINARY.

Instructions Suitable for Town and Village Elections. Announce your name to the judges if necessary, and if deem«d by them a qual­ ified voter, you will be permitted to enter the enclosed place and be given a ballot by one of the judges, he first putting his initials on the back of it. You will then go at once and alone to the voting booth, and prepare the ballot. Do this by marling a cross (X) in the square to the left of the name of each candidate you wish to vote for. In voting for any proposition printed on the ballot, mark a cross (X) opposite "Yes" if yon are in favor of it, or oppo­ site "No" if you are not in favor of it. Do not scratch out any names, nor mark your ballot in any way other than indicated above. Before leaving the booth fold your bal­ lot so that the names and marks will be inside, aud the words "Official ballot," and the clerk's signature, will be in plain sight; then hand it to the judge who will but it into the ballot box without' num­ bering it. You will no.fc be allowed to occupy a booth with another voter, nor must you remain in a booth more tban five min­ utes, if others are waiting to vote. You must leave the enclosed space within ten minutes, and will not be al­ lowed to enter it again after voting. You will not be allowed to vote any ballot except the one you receive from the judge, nor to take a ballot from the polling place before the" dosing of the election. If you spoil a ballot or deface it in any way in preparing it, return it to the judge and get another in its place. If a voter declares upon oath that he cannot read English, or he is physically unable to mark his ballot, two of the election officers will mark it for him as he directs. • • You wit! receive no assistance if intoxi­ cated. There are heavy penalties for election­ eering within 100 feet of the polls, for hindering a voter while going to vote, or inducing him to tell how he intends to vote; for showingyour ballot after mark­ ing it; and for making a false statement as to your inability to mark your ballot. The polls will be opened at 7 A. M., and closed at 5 p. M. Employes will be enti­ tled to leave of absence of two hours without loss of time, for the purpose of voting; but they must ask leave of ab­ sence before election day, and employers may specify the hours during whiob their men may be absent.

STOFPBI*. W'There are three classes of men who oppose the manufacture of tin-plates in this country/' remarked a dealer in tin cans, "the British tin-plate manu­ facturer, the Eastern importer of tin- platband the free trade newspapers and orators." This is an interesting trinity, in which the third party works in the in­ terest of the first two, whose interests are foreign, against those whose interests are American. These elements are labor­ ing to prevent the building up of an ex­ tensive tin-plate industry in this country. The British hostility is natural; it has been monopolizing the tin-plate industry of the world for years, to its great advan­ tage, -and it naturally desires to continue that sort of thing. The importers in the Eastern cities, now organized under the name of tin-plate consumers, which is misleading, handle the British tin-plates and share the profits of that monopoly. Of course, they will loose these profits when tin and terne plates uped in this country are produced by factories in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other states and sold direct to the tin Can manufac­ turers and the jobbers.--Extract from The Indianapolis Journal, February 2$, 1892.
