The program was carried out as announced, with the exception of the address of Mr. Nickle, who was unable to attend. The singing by Mr. and Mrs, T. J. Walsh, and also the male quartette, was highly appre­ ciated by all in attendance, and very much added to the success of the meet­ ing. The next meeting, we believe,i» to be held at Ringwood.

The first Lecture,under the auspices of the Willing Workers Society, willbegiven at the City Hall, on Thursday evening of next week, January 18th. by the Rev. Frank W. Merrill, Preacher, Traveler and Lecturer. His subject will be "Hono­ lulu, Sandwich Islands," where he resid ed for five years and became acquainted with the Royal Family and knows the deposed queen Lillioukalani. This ques­ tion now being so prominently before the public the lecture cannot fail to be of deep interest to all. Let him have a full house. "RAMIJLER" in Elgin Every Saturday, makes the following truthful remarks: "One of the saddest of sights is a man or a human who ought to be a man, trying to be a dude. Dudes like poets, are born not made, and if by birth a child gets a little brain into his top story, he cannot make a dude of himself. It is, therefore, a sad thing to see a mortal whom God has made and who, therefore, ought to pass for a man, trying to be a dude. But I meet them every little while and it fills me with sorrow to think that one who belongs to a class, which is said to be 'the noblest work of God,' can bring himself to such a level." MRS. ROUNDS, the President of the W. C. T. U. of the State of Illinois, gave two lectures at the City Hall, in this vil lege, as advertised, on Sunday and Mon day evenings, and to a large and appre- views, correct j x.. I principles.

I know them so well that 1 wonder that anybody ever doubted them. One thing is that the highest priced paper is likely to be the cheapest. Another is that advertising In dull seasons and 'off days' pays, and pays big. Advertising is the only medi­ cine for sick business, and it gives im­ mediate relief if it is taken properly. I believe it will make business on any day, and any year, in any civilized com­ munity." HOOD'S Calendar for 1894 is out, and like its predecessors, will be welcome in any home which it enters. A happier combination of calendar, of beauty and utility, of art and advertising, has seldom been produced.

A NEW kind of swindler is reported in .the country districts. A man offers to repair an organ or piano and put it in proper tune for two or three dollars. After fooling with the instrument a few hours he collects the pay and leaves, charging the family not to play on it for twenty-four hours, as gluej was used rin repairing which takes that long to dry- About the same time the next day they find that instead of being repaired and properly tuned, the instrument is ruined; or at toast not improved. Our readers want to be on the lookout for these swindlers. OH»Hnt BKX.U8 WAXTB BBLLE, daughter of Mr. and Mis. Rollin Waite, agea twenty-nine, yean nine months, Carrie Belle Waits was born in Mo- Henry, 111., March 27,1864 and was the third eldest daughter in a family of eight children, four of whom are now living; Mrs. I. J. Vnrcy, nf Chicago, Glt-si G. Walts, of Elgin, &ud Mkm Alice and Jay Earl Waite, redding with their parents at McHenry ^ The deceased was in ill health for several years past, but being of an ambi­ tious nature did not wholly cease active employment but a few months previous to her death. With the hope that a change of climate might yield restora­ tion she spent about four months last spring with relatives in Nebraska, re­ turning in June; showing no signs ot im­ provement. Nodacided change became apparrent until early November and from that time she failed rapidly. Some weeks previous to her death Miss Carrie fully believed the end was near and spoke freely and confidently of her departure. All earthly ambition removed and comforted by her belief in a loving Saviour, death seemed but a pleasant journey and she expressed much joy in the prospect of meeting many dear friends gone only a little before. Miss Carrie was beloved by a large cir cle of friends, both at Mc Henry and Elgin, who, during her lingering illness, gave free expression of their love and constancy, lending peace and comfort to the departing one. Funeral services were held from the family residence and conducted by the Rev. Caldwell pastor of the M. E. Church. Appropriate music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs T. J. Walsh. •ooldental Death of Warren Mitt. Death comes when least expected and in the most unexpected ways, as the death of Warren Dart shows. But just past the meridian of life, enjoying the comforts of a happy home and loving family, who were to cheer him in the re­ clining jears of life, but without a mo­ ments warning, or a chance to bid a last good bye he is stricken down and ,his soul, unattended by the presence of loved ones, takes its flight. Mr. Dart for the past thirty years has resided near Rock City, of this State, and was married to a sister of A. J. Ray­ mond, a respected citizen of Lake county, who informed us of the peculiar manner in which the deceased met his death. Mr. Dart, in company with a gentleman, was going a short distance from his home in a two-seated buggy. The wind was blow­ ing a stiff gale from the west and their road ran through a heavy piece of tim­ ber standing entirely on the east side of the highway. When about sixty rods down the road a dead tree, 60 feet in length, in face of the west wind, fell in a north-western direction and struck the occupants. Mr. Dart's head was crushed and he only breathed about twenty min­ utes after the fatal blow. The gentle­ man with him sat on the side of the seat nearest the tree, but escaped with only slight injuries. The seat was entirely de­ molished, being the only damage done the rig. It was necessary to saw the tree in two on both sides of the buggy before either of the men could be rescued. Mr. Raymond informed us that there was a road one-half mile nearer the place they were going then the one they went, and that Mr. Dart made mention of the fact, but proposed the timber road on account of its acting as a wind break, little thinking that death awaited him. It does seem strange indeed, that the tree would fall just at that moment and directly against, or nearly so, a stiff wind, that we again repeat that death comes when least expected and in the most unexpected ways. Mr. Dart was a member of the M. E. Church and was a man unusually respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and three daugh­ ters to mourn his untimely death, sad­ dened beyond expression by the manner in which they were robbed ol a loving husband and a kind and indulgent father.--Wauconda, Leader, ff 25 boxes new, large California raisins PERHAPS never in the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in public favor as the Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past two years it has by adopting progressive methods and injecting push and enterprise in all its departments forced itself into the very front ranks of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is be­ yond question. The publisher, H. H. Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense nor effort to obtain his ideal--and he has succeeded. Uncompromisingly Republi­ can on all National issues, the Inter Ocean does battle for what it believes to be the true faith in a manner that at once commands the attention of the pub­ lic and respect of all. It can be recom­ mended to those who desire a clean, re­ liable enterprising metropolitan family newspaper. FOR SALE. A good coal stove, a carpet and a bed­ stead.
