BACON, who lives between this place and Wauconda, had a span of horses stolen one night last week, and up to last accounts no trace of them had been dis­ covered. The Anti-Horse Thief Associa- tion has the matter in charge and have offered a reward for the capture of the thief. WE have received a copy of a Poem. written by Dr. S. F. Bennett, of Rich­ mond, and read at the Annual Meeting of the Wieconani Press Association, at Madison, Wis., March 29th, 1893, en titled "The Golden Age." Like every­ thing that comes irom the pen of Dr. Bennett, it is very fine. We shall pub­ lish it in lull for the benefit of our readers, at an early day. A PROMINENT writer says, "that the average limit of sustained attention in an audience is twenty minutes and that it is very difficult for a speaker to inter­ est his hearers thirty minutes. It was not so in the olden days when we had great orators, and it is not so now when an eloquent speaker has a message to deliver. But for the average talker twenty minutes is long enough." SPASMODIC spots of fresh paint and shingles, mingled with the burning odor of cast off shoes and grass, and the sight of a load of fugitive furniture now and then, all indicates that the period of - vernal house-oleaninpr is near at hand, says an exchange. The restaurants and hotels will begin to find their - dinner 1 business increasing before long. Now is the time to make war on the microbes. PREACHER'S boys are occasionally mischievous, and sometimes one is found that is positively wicked. It is said that in a neighboring town recently a minister in looking over the congregation, in the midst of his sermon, was horrified to see bis own boy in the gallery pelting his hearers in the pews below with pea­ nuts. While the good man was prepar­ ing a frown of reproof, the young hopeful cried out: "You tend to your preaching, dad; I'll keep 'em awake I Special low prices on Ladies' Mnslin Underwear at Evansoa'a.

THOSE anxious souls who lie avtake nights in dread contemplation lest they should lose their change by pickpockets, when they visit the World's Fair, can easily avoid all worry by adopting the following simple rule, well known to country editors, to-wit: 1st, never take any money with you, lest you be robbed, or lose it. 2d, never leave any at home lest the house take fire. zsm CO&POBATION ELECTION- For tbe Corporation Election, which takes place on the 18th, there are two tickets in the field, the first nomi­ nated being as follows: For President--J.

The song of early bird and croak of frog will soon be interrupted by the shout of the farmer as he urges his team through the field. Soon the pedes­ trian on the sidewalk will walk in fear of collision with the noiseless bicycle. Spring fever will cause the marble-laden urchin to hazard the punishment of a skip from school, to seek the banks of Fox river where he may etrugirlewith a fishing rod. Already people walking on tbe snnny Hide of the street are compelled to force their way through the conireries of loaf­ ers. The outcropping of tramps prom­ ises to pale into mediocrity all former productions. Trainmen will find their salaries augmented by contributions from the cinder covered tourist on the "blind baggage." Spring bonnets will make the usual inroad on tbe husband's savings from Christmas. Hoopskirts will necessitate a widening of the walk, <and perhaps some delinquents, even, will be stirred into gladening the editor's heart by handing in that "back-pay." Just received a full stock of Rockford Watches. Call and see them. JOHN P. SMITH. i&h • i ?,;»• HERE is a scrap of information from an exchange that may interest a few farmer readers of the FLAINDEAI.ER. A good many farmers soaked their wheat in a strong solution of blue vitrol before sowing it last fall. The prime object was to rid it of smut, bnt the bath proved beneficial iu more ways than one, be­ cause the wheat thus starts to germin­ ate as soon as it is put into the ground. To prepare the bath, the vitrol is put into a tub, all of it that the water will desolve. Then the wheat is put in all the light grain, smut and cheat rises to the top and can be skimmed off, leaving only t he best of grain for seed. IN a neighboring town a farmer took twenty-five dozen eggs to market the other day, exchanging them for the follow­ ing articles: One barrel of flour, a bush­ el of meal, a pound of tea, a pound of coffee, five pounds of sugar, a pound of soda, a gallon of kerosene oil, a bar Of soap, a gallon of molasses, a quarter pound tobacco, half a gallon vinegar, a package of mixed spices, and a calico drees pattern, and when he got home his wife gave him blue blazes because he did not get a sack of salt also. If he had only taken along a hog with the eggs he could have got the salt and bought out the whole town. "THE MacKaye Spectatorium," at Chicago, has two immense restaurants and a roof garden at a heigh th of oyer 100 feet; towering 150 feet above is thn immense dome from whi&t a grand view "f the World's Fair grounds and build­ ings can be seen. In order that people may reach these altitudes with comfort, speed and safety, the Columbian Celebra­ tion Company has made a contract with the Standard Elevator Company, of Chicago, to supply fifteen of the largest swiftest and best elevators ever built for passenger use. These elevators will have a capacity for carrying 10,000 persons each hour and be in themselves an ex­ hibit of no little interest. THE Sycamore Republican is informed by the president of the Illinois Press As­ sociation that the officers of that asso­ ciation have a list of every town officer in every county in the state and that everv one of them who neglects to pub­ lish his report of the disbursment of pub­ lic funds, including supervisors, school treasurers and commissioners of high­ ways, will be prosecuted. In the case of town elections where the clerks do not have tbe ballot printed and published according to law, the election will be con­ tested and the officers Will not be permit­ ted to qualify. This organization voted to see that the law is enforced fin every case. * AN exchange says: "There are some men whom printers like. When they meet you they giv® your hand a shake which is genuine and does you good. They never allow their politics to infringe upon their business and good will townrd all. They never allow their subscription to run behind, rarely fail to hand you the news, and occasionally hand .you a sub­ scriber. They always speak a good word for their county paper, and in a thous­ and ways render themselves indispensi- ble to you. There is another class who have no use for a newspaper. Their busi­ ness is usually transacted in back alleys and back rooms, their souls are so small that six of them would rattle in the shell of a mustard seed and their ways so dark that a ray of light would discolor them out of recognition, This kind tl|e news­ papers have no use for either. TOWN MEETIN G IK McHENRY. The Annual Town Meeting in McHenry, on Tuesday, was one of tbe quietest for many years. Two Caucuses were held, the Peoples' and Democratic, but by some oversight the Democrats failed to file their nomination papers in time, consequently there Was but one ticket in the field on Tuesday, and there being no contest it was of course a tame affair. There was 160 votes polled, the candi­ dates on the Peoples Ticket receiving from 139 to 147 each, the balance being scat­ tering. The following is the ticket elected: For Supervisor--W. A. Cristy." , For Town Clerk--Chas. H. Granger. For Assessor--John Hueman. For Collector--John H. Freund. For Commissioner of Highway--E. H. Thompson. For Justices of the Peace--Henry C.

Mrs. Elizabeth Throop, aged 64 years, died at the residence of her son, Ben Throop, at Crystal Lake, 111., March 26, 1893. Elizabeth Mygett Shaver was born in Dunduff, Penn., Jan. 27, 1829. Was married to Hoeea B. Throop, of Crystal Lake, May 10,1854. She leaves two sons aud a daughter, and a wide circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. She wa« a true mother to several young gifls whom she brought up, like daughters, in her own household. Her house and heart was always open to every one who came within her hospi­ tality; a kind word was always spoken for the erring one; a true friend and help­ er in affliction, and an open hand for the needy, are only a few of the lovely characteristics of her sweet disposition. Those who knew her best and lived closest to her heart realize most the great loss sustained in her death. Could she speak to us we feel she would say in the beautiful words of Edwin Arnold: Faithful friends! it lies, I know, Pale and white and cold as snow; And ye say, "Elizabeth's dead I" Weeping at the foet and head, I can see your falling tears, 1 can hear your sighs and prayers: Yet I smile and whisper this,-- "I am not the thing you kiss; Cease your tears, and let it lie; It was mine, it is not I." Loving friends! Be wise and dry Straightway every weeping eye,-- What ye lift upon the bier Is not worth a wistful tear. 'Tis an empty sea-shell,--one Out of which the pearl is gone; The shell is broken, it lies there The pearl, the all, the soul, is here. Farewell, friends! Yet not farewell; Where 1 am, ye, too, shall dwell, I am gone before your face, A moments time, a little spaxse. When ye come where I havestepped Ye will wonder why ye wept; Ye well know, by wise love taught, That here ia all, and there is naught. Weep awhile, if ye are fain,-- Sunshine still must follow rain; Only act .it death, for death. Now I know, is that first breath Which our souls draw when we enter Life, which is of all life center. Be ye certain all seems love, Viewed from God's throne above; Be stout of heart, and come Bravely onward to your home! M. L. P. The funeral services were held in the M. E church, Tuesday noon, after a prayer and song at the house. Rev. A. N. Alcott, pastor of the Universalist church at Elgin, officiated, assisted by Rev. M. H. Plumb, text was Ec'les 12:06. The house was full, the offerings of flowers were very fine and profuse. Relatives and friends from Chicago and surrounding towns were present in large numbers. The remains were taken to the Crystal Lake cemetery and interred beside the husband and father who webt before. Heal Estate Transfers.
