THE time is now here when the das­ tardly coward gets in his or her work, namely, sending out "stabs in the dark" in the way of comic valentines. This is sometimes done through a spirit of mis­ chief but more often through malice* The recipient is usually both mentally and socially, far above the sender, who is in more cases than one a person de­ void of religion, principal or morals, and when known should be ostracised from society of all decent people. ARRANGEMENTS for the Entertainment and New England Supper, to be,given Feb. 23d, by the Ladies of the Willing Workers Society, are progressing favor­ ably and promises to be the entertain­ ment of the season. The Apron sale in connection therewith will be an interest­ ing feature of the occasion. Supper will be served from 5:30 to 8 o'clock p. M. to be followed by an entertainment by home talent. We expect a full program for next week. ^ SAISTTEL SHERMAN has lately patented a farp gate that is bound to come into general use, because of its practicability and simplicity. It can truly be called a common sense gate, and should, as we predict it will in the near future, be in general use on every farm in the west, as it is a saving in time and money. One of these gates can be seen by calling at the hardware store of F. L. McOmber, on the west side. Call and look it over as you go by. _____ ' WEST MCHENRY, Feb. 7th, 1894.

James Mack, of Elgin, was here a few days since, making arrangements for an Athletic Entertainment, which will be held in John Heimer's Hall, on Saturday evening of this week, Feb. 17. Win. Baird, the clever boxer, of Milwaukee, has arranged a six round glove contest with James Mack, of Elgin, and J as Kinnane and D. Henderson will box four lively rounds as a preliminary. Doors open at 7:30. Boxing to commence at 8:30. General admission 50 cento. AN item is going the rounds to the effect that a certain young man who is canvassing this Btate selling a patent pants stretcher, which is warranted to prevent the pants bagging at the knee, recently asked permissiou of the superin­ tends mien t of the Northwestern Yeast tactory, at Milwaukee, to go through the establishment and sell his employees some of the stretchers. He was told to go ahead, but he was taken from the building in an unconscious condition up­ on discovering that the employees werp all girls--nearly a hundred of them. BILL NYE'S definition of a newspaper is as follows: "It is a library, It is an en cyclopedia, a poem, a history, a diction' ary, a time table; a romance, a guide to political resume, a ground plan of the civilized world, a low priced multum in parvo. A shipwreck, a symphony in solid brevier, a medley of life and death, a grand aggregation of man's glory and his shame. In shprt, it is a bird's eye view of all the magnanimity and meannesss, the joys and sorrows, the births and deaths, the pride and poverty of the world, all for a few cents." AN exchange, in an article on compli­ mentary tickets, has the follow ng to say: "Speaking of complimentary tick­ ets given to editors, we wish to say that these tickets are not complimentary. They are simply an exchange of courte­ sies. The tickets are given with the un­ derstanding always that their value is to be given in local editorial notices of the entertainmen at regular advertising rates, and so far as the newspaper is concerned there is no such thing as 'com­ plimentary' tickets. It costs money to set type, to do press work, buy paper and pay office rent and postage and for fuel and light, and when an editor accepts a ticket to a show he pays for it just the same as other people, the only difference being that the editor pays for his tickets in advertising instead of cash to the proprietors of the show and he pays the cash to the printer and the pressman and the papa: maker. That's the difference." „ „ SPECIAL ROTtfi|| The buying public will please take notic# that I will offer at my store, in theRiver^ side Block, my entire stock of Dry Goods .Notions, Boots, Shoes, Rubber Goodfe Hat4, Caps, Underwear, Gloves 'aatf'w& tens at actual cost, until further notice.

Notwithatikti&ig the stormy weather a fair audi--ss tuned out to hear the second of the course of Lectures, under the auspices of the Willing Workers, at the City Hall, on Friday evening >»•*, and as we predicted no one was disap­ pointed. As has been said by another it is "seldom one has the pleasure of listen­ ing to an address in which there is such a combination of eloquence, earnestness, pleasing diction, and philosophic presen­ tation of living issues. Mr. Fraser rises above little things and pleads for broad­ er patriotism, higher ideals and more catholicity of spirit as the proper issue of intelligent study of our history. He de­ cries the petty eatisfaction felt at over­ coming an enemy, but directs the thoughts of his audience to the great issues which have been settled by a con­ flict and shows that the isolated events have value only as they contribute to general progress." No words we can add will half do him justice. Every one who heard him would be more than pleased to hear him again, and we hope the lec­ ture committee will make u effort to that end. DIED.--At his home, in Britt, Iowa, Feb. 7th, 1894, STEPBEN RAYMOND, aged 58 years. Stephen Raymond was born in Ithica, N. Y., January 18th, 1886. In 1844 he came west with his parents, who settled in the town of Fremont, Lake County, where they resided for many years. Later he was a resident of this village for 12 or 15 years, and about six years ago he moved to Britt, Iowa, where be resided until the day of his death. For the past two years he has been a great sutferer from Inflammatory Rheumatism, but the past few months had been con­ sidered much better, and the day before he died was on the streets and apparent­ ly feeling better than for a year. During the night of Feb. 6th he had a stroke of Paralysis from which he never rallied, dying in about twelve hours after. He was a man honored and respected by all who knew him and his sudden death cast a gloom over the entire com­ munity where he lived. His remains were brought to this village by his brother A. J. Raymond, and deposited in Wood­ land Cemetery, beside a daughter who died while he was a resident here. He leaves a wife, one daughter, three brothers and a sister to mourn his loss who have the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow.

Straub, under the auspices' of the UnftereaUsft; Church, promises to be of the most in­ teresting character. His subject "The Drama of Nations" is one that is sure to interest all, both old and young. Rev. Straub is an able and interesting speak­ er, perfectly familiar with his subject and no one should fail to hear him on this occasion. We shall Cxpect to see a full house on Saturday evening. Remember the date, Saturday evening of this week, Feb. 17th. Admission 15 cents, Chil­ dren 10 cents. A CONTEMPORARY says that newspaper subscriptions are infallible tests of men's honesty. They will sooner or later dis­ cover the man. If he is dishonest he will cheat the printer some way--say he has paid what he has not--declare that he has a receipt somewhere--or sent the money and it was lost in the mail--or he will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he did not subscribe for it-- or move off leaving it to come to the office he left. Thousands of professed christians are dishonest in this particu­ lar at least, and the printer's books will tell fearful tales in the final judgment.
