The examination of the pupils the McHenry Schools for the purpose of as­ signing them to their proper grades at the opening of school in September, will be held Wednesday, May 2, and continue two days. All should take this exami­ nation so that incase any one should fail wholly or in part, he will thus have another opportunity, about the first of September, to write again. After this term no pupil may enter school without having passed an examination admitting him to the grade he wishes to enter. W. H. STRAYER, Principal.

It is being used to print a "Little Paper for Little People" with four full pages in colors, and begin­ ning with Sunday, April 29, this paper will contain the first installment of a children's story, written especially for it by a Chicago newspaper man, Sam Clover. A unique feature of this story ie that it is to be named by Chicago school children after reading.

THEODORE HUNTINGTON, former­ ly Principal of the McHenry Public School, died at his home in Greenwood, Indiana, some time in February, the ex­ act date of which we are not iuiormed, and the pupils of the Higher Department of our Public School passed the following resolutions to his memory: Resolved. That we as a school wish to show our regard and esteem for our late teacher. Resolved. That we will ever cherish in our memories his many virtues as a teacher and a friend. Resolved. That we tender to the be­ reaved wife and children onr heartfelt sympathy in their bereavment. Resolved.

It has always seemed to me that whoever has no other object in attending church than to make fun of the place, the forms, the people in attendance, or to in any way interfere with or interrupt the order of the meet­ ing should be first asked and then com­ pelled to desist. Order is as quoted Heavens first law, and those who have no respect for that law, have little chance of heaven. At a recent meeting certain persons to whom any other title than lady would be taken as a direct insult, vet they forgot to respect the office and effort of a sister who conducted the ser­ vice last Sunday week, and embarassed and confused her by their thoughtless, let us hope, conduct. Every young lady should be a monitor if necessary to en­ force a respectable discipline in meetings of any bind, but especially in church. And a young man who disturbs the holy quiet ot any church should be treated to the contempt of every true lady. It looks to me as though the school board was rather shabbily treated on Saturday evening. The board has had during the last year an unusual amount of business to transact, and to a man they have been faithfnl in the execution of the same, and it would have been the least that could have been 4$tte in court­ esy had the board been mco'rded a vote of thanks for the able and scrupulously honest course followed in defending the district's territory against the en­ croachment of others scheming for a division, and in the erection of the new school house. It is claimed by some, the manner of whose attack showed the presence in their systems of chronic sum­ mer cholera, badly wintered too, that some mistakes were made in the letting of contracts, employment of labor, etc. Admitting the truth of such statements there should be no fault found, then. Has any farmer, merchant or mechanic ever let a contract for a building or erected the same by day labor who would not be willing to admit that mistakes were made? Has any one ever under­ taken to do a job of plastering who had just lime and sand ^enough ? Was the same always good ? Does the experience of our own j>eople favor an affirmative reply to all the above? The great won­ der to me is that the board made as few mistakes. The painting was to be done at a time of year unfavorable to fast work and the mere fact that it cost more by days work than somebody else figured that he couid do the same by contract cuts no figure now with either the board or the community. And it is a signifi­ cant fact that the best business men in the district, and those of most experience in such matters have no complaint or charges to make. Ingratitude, Brutus' weapon for Caesar is the same which blatant monthed ignoramouses assail those who serve them best, but either not so ably wielded or the objects of attack bring less sensitives, though sen- sensible of attack, it fails to kill in these modern times. Remember the school director is a poorly paid official and is only holding for gross negligence.

John M. Zank for ten years past with­ out doubt has suffered every torment peculiar to a malady so generally known by the broad term Eczema yet so little understood. Dr. Howe succeeded in my case and I am now entirely free of a disease of the skin which all the doctors called Eczema and from which I suffered untold torment for ten years. At times I could scarcely restrain myself from tearing my flesh asunder so great was the torture, and nothing that my physi­ cians could do would afford me only tem­ porary relief. I consulted Dr. Howe a yearago'last February, who told me that there were at least several hundred varieties of the disease called Eczema and that mine was a kind often called Salt Rheume. Well to make a long story short the Doctor "salted" it what- everit was, so I have not felt nor seen a symptom of it for ovsr a year. He also cured my daughter of Catarrh of the bowels a disease which had been supposed to be Consumption of the bowels and liver by my old family 'physician, which came on several years ago and reduced her to a a skeleton but under Dr. Howe's care she has become a strong and heal­ thy young lady. I cannot say too much in favor of Dr. Howe and his method of treatment. JOBN M. ZANX. THE experience of an Indiana farmer who accepted a f10,000 draft on New York in payment for his farnvand giving his own check for $2,100 for the differ­ ence between the agreed price and the amount of this draft, should be . a lescon to a great many others. A check or draft on another bank can be very easily counterfeited, so that in transactions of any magnitude whatever, it is safer to insist on a certified check or draft. Certi­ fication, as most people know means that the check has been presented at the bank on which it has been drawn, and the bank has practically guaranteed its payment by endorsing it on its face; the bank, for its own protection, at ths same time withdrawing the amount of the check from the drawer's account, just the same as if the check had already been cashed and holding it until the check ii presented. So if any one comes along, no matter whether you know him or not and you have any financial transactions with him, Involving the exchange of drafts or checks, insist that these be certified; or if you have any doubt witfc reference to the certification, find out for sure whether the check or draft is all right before you tot anything go oat of * ^ -r 'I , - ft T *»V Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Most Perfect Made.
