MSi A GOOD Rochester, (N. Y.) pastor, a widower, proposed to a young lady a short time ago, but was rejected. His feelings had the second severe test when a widow neighbor sent him the following text to preach from. "You ask and re­ ceive not, because you ask a miss." WE are in receipt of another circular from the State Board of Health calling upon all civic authorities as well as all good citizens to use their utmost endeav .ore to prevent the spread of small-pox by universal vaccination and revaccina tion. Illinois cannot afford another small-pox epidemic. F FARMERS are busy threshing and the ham of the steam threshing machines is heard everywhere. The yield of oats is not as heavy as expected, and not much more than half an average. What little wheat is raised here about is light, and the rye is not heavy. Hay and fodder are abundant, and corn is doing her best. There will be more corn than was expected. WHEN a child is born the .attending physician gets $25 and the editor a cuss­ ing if he happeils to make a mistake in date or sex.

When a death occurs the undertakers gets $15 and the editor a few more nickels for some extra copies. This is a funny world It seems to be too much one sided, end the editor on the wrong side.--fix.

EVERY subscriber of a local paper should make it a point to file every pa­ per received. In after years the pleasure of pursuing^ accounts of hapoenings that have in many cases passed from the memory, will be grater than reading of events fresh in local history. Old files of local papers possesses an inestimable value, proving as they do the means of restoring missing links in the chain of local history. EVERY year about this time items are read in the newspapers about horses and cattle being killed by lightning, which leaps from barb wire fences to the ani­ mals. This could be obviated, if all the wire fences were connected at each end of the fence to the ground by a copper wire of good size. The lightning in the barb wire is seeking the ground and having no ground connection leaps to the ground to them.--fix. IT will be shame for sportsman to shoot prairie chickens in northern Illi­ nois this fall. The continued wet weather of Jlast spring drowned out their nests and lessened their number greatly in­ stead of increasing it, and to shoot the birds now would be practically extermi­ nation. Better give them a chance to recover from this season's setback, for the prairie chicken is altogether too fine game to be entirely wiped out of exis­ tence. WE would call the particular attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Kickapoo Medicine Company, which can be found on the last page of this paper. They are giving free exhibitions at their tent, near the City Hall, every evening to large crowds. Their medi­ cines are meeting with large sales all over the country and are pronounced as excellent remedies by all who have tried them. Read their advertisement and be sure to go and see their free exhibitions. THE grave yard racket swindle is being worked by a glib tongued fellow in this state. He visits a preacher and makes arrangements for burial services over the remains of his mother-in-law, to arrive from a distant city. The undertaker and sexton are next seen for the grave digging when he suddenly discovers the lose of his pocket-book. He borrows enough money to pay expenses until relatives arrive with the mother-in-law, and skips. THE McHenry county Fair, which was held at Woodstock last week, drew out a large attendance each day and financially gas a decided success. But the exhibi­ tion in some departments was not up to former years, notably that of stock. Why this was so we are unable to tell. This lack of exhibits is to be regretted, for the reason that a poor show this year will tend to injure the Fair in the year to come. Let those who have the good of our Fair at heart see where the mistake occurred and remedy it in the future. r OH&3. W. FAT. // Charles W. Fay, formerly ol McHenry, but more recently of Denver, Col, died in that city on August 1st, after a brief ill­ ness. He was bora in McHenry, May 23, 1862, where his earlier years were spent, and, his education gained. Upon his lather's death he assumed the care of the stricken home, and after learning the printer's trade at the office of the Mc­ Henry PLAINDEALER, became the support of the Mother and children. A weak constitution drove him from his position and he was forced to seek a new home in Chicago. Constitutional!/ weak from boyhood, the rigorous climate of th Lake city, told upon him, and afer a residence of about four years in that city, he found himself broken again in health and was compelled to seek the re­ storative climate of Colorado. During the first interval of his Denver life, he gained rapidly in health and seemed BO far improved as to be pronounced com­ paratively well again; but a return to Chicago showed renewedsigns of weak­ ness in throat and lungs, and he again was obliged to seek Denver as a final re­ storative, returnin g there about a year ago. The last year of his life was one of varying fortune as regards his health, now seemingly on the hiirh road of re­ covery, and now going backwards as rapidly, until finally he was stricken with an eb jeSs on thelungso little able to with­ stand it, and after a brief struggle of six­ teen days, the weakened constitution gave the battle up, and Charles W. Fay entered the land where sicknrs*aiud death can never come. The funeral &rviee« were held at his late residence on Friday afternoon, August 5th, and were conducted by Rev. W. C. Selleck, of the First Universalist church, of Denver, assisted by Mr. C. E. Montague, of the First Unitarian Society and according with an express' wish, he was laid at rest in the beautiful cemetery of Fairmouut. His life was a struggle against ill health and though feeble in body, he was ever the loving son and brother, the earnest friend, the faithful Servant and the helper in the home. To the faithtul is given the crown of life,and to the tired soul now having gained the welcome rest, comes the peace that the Infinite alone can alone give, the peace that whispers of a well-lived life and promises an eternity of rest and love.

The piece entered last Sunday night upon the fifteenth of its run. It has already scored a record of 122 performances, thus eclipsing any theatrical production ever before given in Chicago, so far as a continuous number of performances go. Sinbad" was undoubtedly - the most profitable piece that ever ran in Chicago during one run, but "Ali Baba" has eclipsed it even in its measure of popu­ larity. The cost of "Ali Baba" before the curtain was raised upon it was over $60,000. The public have recognised this lavish expenditure by a bounteous patronage. On Sunday night, Septem­ ber 11th, the 4th and last edition of "Ali Baba" is announced. A number of nov­ elties for this edition will be announced later. 70UBT.

THE Rock ford clergyman who declined t» peiform a marriage ceremony for a couple who are to be .parried ia a bal­ loon and to aail away in it for their bridal trip, has won the respect of all' who have regard for propriety. Mar­ riage h s been degraded enough without having a wedding take place at a fair, between a horso race and a base ball match. It lowers a clergyman and the clerical profession iu the estimation of the public when one of the cloth condescends to take a leading part in a spectacular performance for the purpose of drawing a crowd iu order to"get their money. When a marriage becomes a frolic all sacredness is eliminated from it. A clergyman cannot support the dignity of his calling and be a circus clown or a performer in a show at a fair.--Journal.
