' \ THE remains of Mrs. Daly, who for- / Fatal Accident Near Gray'e Lake, merly lived near Fox Lake, in Like j/ An accident occurred at a crossing fif County, was brought here on Saturday ft he Wisconsin Central Railroad, near Gray's Lake, on Saturday night last, in which tw > brothers, Ai. C. and Oscar Drury were instantly killed. We find the following particulars of the accident in Wauksgan Gazette of Monday: "Saturday night Ai. C. and Oscar Drary, of Gray's Lake, were instantly killed by the Waukesha Express on the Wisconsin Central, at the crossing half a mile north of Gray's Lake. The train, which was an hoar late, was running at a high rate of speed and as none knew the crossing better than did the dead men carelessness is the only reason that can be advanced as to the cause cf the accident. The engineer says he whistled for the crossing and did not see the rig until it appeared full in the headlight's glarey the horse running, urged by the men in the rig in the vajo endeavor to clear the track. The man in the ceb shut off the brakes, and applied they emergency brake to the great discomfort/ of the passengers, but human efforts were useless and th^ pilot struck the buggy fairly demolishing it. throwing Ai. through a barb wire fence at the right of way and breaking every bone in hiB body, while O^car was thrown high in the air, alighting head down upon the frozen ground, breaking his neck and one of his legs. The train men placed the bodies in the baggage car and the train backed to Gray's Like where the bodies were taken to Strang's undertaking establishment. The dead men were members of the Grays Lake M, W. A., and were well known throughout the county. Both were married men. Ai was a widower and leuves a family of six child­ ren, all under eighteen years of age. O.-Ciir leaves an invalid wife and several children. -'t^ne Bister, Mr8.Berg,«of Iowa, survives, as does the aged father, Ben­ jamin Drury. who resides near the Avon school, and to the stricken ones the sym­ pathy of all is extended. nnderstuu I that Dr. A. E. Aurin- •ger has purchased the building now oc­ cupied by the West McHenry Post Office, and will occupy it as his office as soon as vacated. We believe Mr. Stoffel has n-jt as yet decided where he will locate the Post Office, when he gets his commission but that it will be in a place convenient ^o the f ublic all can rest assured. ' THE contest lor tHe Gold Headed Cane, which took place at the Herman Fair last week, and which closed on Saturday evening, became quite exciting the last day. 641 votes being polled oh Saturday evening. The total nam her of votes polled was 1279, of which C. H. Granarer received 676 and Jos. Heimer 603 Granger's majority was 73 votes. j WE learn that since the Fox River Railroad was built up to the present time, but two cars of corn had ever been snipped from tbis station and those over 25 years ago. To break this record Frank battles purchased fifty tons and is h-tw shipping two cars a day to the Stock Yards, at Chicago. As a general thing the farmers in this section feed out Pasto^ all of their corn, which accounts for the Sunday1* .fact above stated. THE Social Party, at Staffers Hall, given by the ladles of St. Patrick's Church, was attended by about 100 couples, and was pronounced by all to be the most pleasant and enjoyable party of the Beason. It is useless for us to say th« supper was one of the finest, as the ladies of this society are noted for their skill in tbis line. The music was excell­ ent, and taken all in all, as we said be- tore it was the most enjoyable gathering the kind of the season. ^Hid is peculiar: One man is saving money to build a honse, and another is trying to sell for less than it cost to build it. One man is spending all he can make in taking a gul to the theatre and send­ ing her fl Jwers with the hope of making her his wife, while a neighbor is using what money he has in getting a divorce. One man escapes the diseases flesh is heir to and gets killed on the railroad. Another escapes the railroad and dies of whooping cough. •J FARMERS in the vicinity of McHenry 4re receiving some money about these days as is evidenced by the following: On Monday of this wetk there was de­ livered at the McHenry depot for ship­ ment one car of oats, one car of ear com and three cars of hogs, for all of which the farmers received the handsome sum of $2,500. This is but one of many shipments that is made at this station during each month. Our live stock and produce dealers are all straightforward, liberal men, and are paying the farmers $be best price the market will warrant. V AN exchange tells ot a smooth swindk r who is at pt^sent operating in this sec. tion. He cleans sewing machioes for 50 Centsand-then finis broken wheels and appliances which need repair. Of course he is the one who causes the bad condi­ tion of the machine by exchanging the several parts. If any one stands watch­ ing him he will send the person for oil or ragF. He charges exhorbitant prices for his work. In a neighboring county he touched for f6.50 and another for |12. Housekeepers shouldtbe on the lookout and give this fellow a hot reception. THE FitIR CL08BD. The German Fair closed on Tuesday evening, and.notwithstandingthe severe weather which prevailed throughout the entire week, was a success in every par­ ticular. The crowds ware large every evening and great interest wets man­ ifested w ith the exercises from beginning to end. It is too early when we go to press to get the full particulars, as the committees are busy getting things straightened out, but enough is known to warrant the statement that their net proceeds will be full two thousand dollars, and perhaps more, a handsome sum for the benefit of the new church. Soma of the principal prizes drawn were secured by the following: J( hn Heimer's family drew the music box, a couch, a pair of pants and a fancy pil­ low. The large stove was drawn by a Chicago party. The fancy clock by C« H. Hfck, of Richmond, corn shelter by Wm. Bacon, wheelbarrow by Wm. Stof­ fel. \ ladies' seven dollar bat by Mrs. John Neisen. The list of the smaller prizes we were unable to get. The contest for the gold headed cane was won by C. H. Granger. As we said in tbe beginning the Fair was a success financially aDd otherwise, and was a credit to those having the matter in charge. The music was fine and the programme each evening was listened to with interest 6 by all. The Fair will be long remembered with pleasure by all who were in attendance / MILO L. HCWE has just sold to Simon / Stoffel, and pntinto his Hall, a handsome f $250 piano. Mr. Stoffel is. sparing no j expense to make his Hall up to-date in [ every particular. MRS. E. W.

Bickler, of tbis village, was married at Elgin on Tuesday to a Miss Light foot, of that \City. Bickler was a member of Company 0, Third Illinois Volunteere. , THE central office of the Citizens' Tele­ phone Company, in this village, has been 'moved from Heamao & Schneider's Jew­ elry Store to the building one door north of Owen & Chapell'a store, formerly occa- \^>ied by Mrs. Howe as a millinery ..store. . JUST as we go to press we learn that Peter B. Freuud has purchased, of the Bishop estate, the lot between Owen's warehouse and Jacob Bonslett's res­ idence, known as the Mill Shed lot. Con-' eideratian $600. V. -- . Oxascountof it being^ necessary for Hie connty treasurer to make up a double set of books this year there will be a shorter length of time for paying your taxes to the township collector, the time expiring in less than four weeks from this date. IF yon have a little- spare time you might try the following by way of amuse­ ment: Tie a string about a yard long to a common door key and take the string iu the right hand, holding it so the key will clear the floor by four or five inches. If you can hold the string steady enough it will begin to swing back and forth in a straight line. Let another auother person take your hand and the key will change from the pendulum like swing to a circular motion. If a third person will place his hand on the shoulder of the second person the key will stop Try it and explain if you can. ] THE social of the ladies of the Uniyer- *alist Society, which was held at the Residence of Simeon Covell on Thursday «was, notwithstanding the severe cold weather, well attended and a very enjoy­ able affair. Those who assembled there soon forgot the severe weather outside and erjoyed themselves to the fullest ex­ tent. Simeon Covell and wife and Mrs. Covell, senior, leaving nothing undone for their comfort and pleasure. The refresh­ ments were ample an 3 of the finest, and it was to be regretted that the cold weather kept so many away. The music of Howe's orchestra added moch to the pleasure of the evening. THERE will be a Woodmau's Janoe at the Rink, Nunda, 111., on Friday evening of this week. Before the dance a fine programme will be rendered. Prof. Rus- eie's orchestra of Chicago will be present and furnish the music. All Woodmen and those who are not Woodmen are •cordially invited. ? THE Oliver Typewriter Band, of Wood­ stock, fut nished music for the German Fair, in this village, on Saturday even­ ing, and we do not exaggerate when we say they are one of the best bands in the northwest. It was the unanimous ver­ dict of all who heard tbein that they are hard to beat. They are an honor to Woodstock, and the manufacturing in­ stitution which tbsy represent. DiifcB--In Waucond-v Feb. 2, 1899, Jpseph Glynch, aged 89 years. |n speaking of-his death the Waucogda Lender says: The subject ot this obit­ uary was a man of quiet and unassuming manner and of sterling principle. At the age of 21 he came to this country and after a year in New York came to Chicago, then Fort Dearborn, where he worked two years, coming then to this township wbere fee took up a farm of government land and since which time has been a respected citiz9U of the place He was never married and always found a good home in his brother Thomas' family and since his death with his niece, Miss Mary Glynch, who has waited upon him with as tender care is becomes the duty of noble, vigorous womanhood to trembling age. The end came unex­ pected as he had not complained of any serious trouble, and the nigbt before he died visited with his niece in a cheerful mood.

Dunham, of Wayne, million­ aire and owner of one of the largest and [>est-known stock farms in the world, lied at Mercy Hospital on Saturday |ast, where he had been taken for treat­ ment^ Tfr. Dunham had just completed plans for a long-contemplated tour of the world. Hardly a day had passed since be announced his plan to his fiiends with the statement that he had placed hi^ business affairs in such a condition as to allow his abs. nce when he was stricken down. He was removed from his home, near E'gio, into the town for treatment, but his family, thinking he should have the best possible advantages for re­ covery, demanded that he should be re­ moved to Chicago. A pri vate car was loaned for the purpose of ramoving him by one of the officials of the Northweet- tita railroad. Mr. Dunham was a splendid example of the man who has made himself. He began the breeding of horses, while still a young man, on a very small fcale. At his death he was one of the most prom­ inent breeders in the world, and Owned one of the best-known farms in the United States, which consisted of 5000 acres, along the Galena division of the Northwestern railroad, a few miles out of Elgin. • School Report.
