OUR citis^ns have been extremely for­ tunate with their new system of water­ works during the late cold weather, ao ..but twr hydrant* ba*» been reported as vfrnzan and one of them only slightly. The connection which was made with the , Hwidence of Dr. Fegers just before the Cold weather set in was frozen, presuma­ bly on account of the earth not being properly settled and packed before the Gold weather began. We say we have feisen extremely fortunate from the fact that other towns where they have a iprstem of water-works have had orach jfeore serious trouble. W« understand that L. A. Welsh will open a Barber Shop next week, ia the rooms in Smith's Block, West McHenry, formerly occupied by Jacob Hetz^l.

IT is said a successful way of thawing out fros*n water pipes is as .follows: Turn the faucet over, bringing the nozzle upward, onen the stop-crck and pour some sulphuric acid into the nozzle. In a short time the ice will be cleared out. Strong lye can be used in place of the acid with good results. /THE Chicken Pie Supper, given at th«» fhty Hall on Thursday evening last bv the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E.

A NEWSPAPER man of Kansas hasgiven the following reasons why engines are always spoken of as "she:" They wear a jncket, an apron, shoes, hoso and drag a train behind them. They have a lap, need a gnide, ride wheels, will not turn out for pedestrians and sometimes foam and refuse to work. They attract men, are sometimes very contrary, and it always takes a man to manage them.

HOWARD, aged 82 yean, 4 monttw and 12 days. Dr. Howard was a native of Madison County, N. Y., where he was born Octo­ ber 12, 1810. His fenceeters were of English origin. His grandfather served in the Revolutionary war and his father in the war of 1812. In 1845 he went to Indiana where he studied medi­ cine. In 1850 he went to Cleveland, Ohio, and entered College, where he grad­ uated, and then began the practice of medicine at Liverpool, in that state. Here be remained seventeen jjBMs/ Be ilipn reinoYMiw^cHenry, III., where he .was in active practice for over thirty WirSj^^-- nrT836 he was married to Miss Juliette Gould. From this union six children were born, four cf whom are now living, viz: Mrs. C. Harvey, Waukegan, 111.; Mrs. Simeon Kennedy, McHenry, 111., Mrs. J as. Walsh and R. A. Howard, Elgin, 111., all of whom were present at the funeral. The mother of the above named died in 1874, and in 1875 he mar­ ried Mrs. Rebecca King, who died about one year ago. Besides the above he leaves one brother, W. C. Howard, of this village. Dr. Howard was a m .n honored and respected by all who knew him. Alwaye of a jovial disposition he was a man who made friends wherever be went. He was a fine conversationalist, and being a great reader and well posted on all tl>e leading questions of the day it was in­ deed a pleasure at any time to pass an hour in his company. He will be greatly missed, not only at home, but among many acquaintances everywhere. funeral was held from the Univer- churcb, in this village, on Monday at 10 A. M„ Rev. J. Straub, Pastor ot the church; officiating, and the re­ mains followed to their last rating place, in Woodland Cemetery, by a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends. 2. THE tinging and the floral Offerings at the funerals of both Dr. Howard and little Clarence Cbapell this week were par­ ticularly noticeable, and are worthy of especial mention. The floral offerings were appropriate, abundant, and the finest we ever saw at this time of year, which proved that loving bands bad, notwithstanding the winters blasf, been diligently at work to find the choicest flo#ers to adorn the last resting place of their departed friends. The singing by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh, always of the highest order, seemed to us 09 these occasions to have been better than ever. The pieces selected w.jre ino*t appro­ priate and were rendered in a manner not to be excelled. The unselfish manuer in which Mr. aud Mrs. Walsh tender their services on occasions of this kind is high­ ly commendable, "and they deserve, as they do receive, the greatest praise from all. /^LABJSNCB EDWABD CHAPBLZ., ( DIED.--At the Hotel Riverside, on Sat- nrdav morning, Feb. 25, CLARENCE EDWARD, infant son of S. S. and Allie (Cbapell, aged one year and eight months. f>ur citizens were both shocked and grieved to learn of this sudden death, as but few knew that be was sick at all. Although never a robust child, for the past few months he had been unusually well, and even up to Friday morning there was no sign of what so unexpect­ edly happened only a few hours later. About four o'clock in the afternoon he was takeu with spasms, and despite all that loving hands and the best medical skill could do.he rapidly grew worse, and at 2 o'clock on Saturday morning breathed his last. Hs was the idol of his fond parents, who in their deep sorrow have the heartfelt sympathy of the en­ tire community. The funeral was held from the Hotel Riverside on Tuesday forenoon, Rev. J. Straub officiating, and was attended by a large number of relatives and sympa­ thizing friends from McHenry, Chicago and Elgin, and the remains were laid at rest in Woodland Cemetery. KoHBNBY CBKAXEBY COMPANY. We would call the attention of our readers to the statement of the McHenry Creamery Company, to be found in ^n^^er coluran, of their business for the year commencing Feb. 1,1898 and end­ ing Feb. 1,1899. The Company bought the factory of Oatman Bros, in February 1897, putting in new machinery through­ out, and opened up for business on the 6th day of April, 1897, receiving tl.e first month 176,370 pounds of milk and closed the last month of the present year with 315,154 pounds for the month of January.) During the whole time they havBwith one exception kept the same officers, the exception briog the resigna­ tion of the President on account of other businefs. This of itself ehaws a wise policy, for the business of the Company has been conducted in an economical and bueiness-like manner and we think we do not err when we say there is no institu­ tion of the kind in McHenry county that stands better with it patrons than the McHenry Creamery Company. They cer­ tainly have, in the person of Mr. Caas. Gnering. one of the b. st Butter-MakerR- in the state, and the products of thi* Factory commands the highest price on the market. McHenry has just cause to feel proud of having such an institution in its midst. Dr. BuM'a Cough Syrup will maVe * permanent cure in all cases of cough or cold on cheet or lungs.

It is claim­ ed that the sentence should have been indeterminate and not for any definite period, as the punishment for man­ slaughter at the time of the offense was indeterminate but at the time ot the sentence it bad been changed to an in­ definite period. We Know Him. In replying to a call from the pens:on bureau not long ago, where the claimant was asked "when and where and how he contracted senile debility," was forward­ ed the following answer in affidavit form: "I cannot say precisely when and where and how I contracted senile debility. It has come on gradually. I seemed free from it at my birth, yet if I had not been born so far back as I was then I would not now be suffering so seriously from it. The most eminent authorities are agreed that old age is of a permanent character, and I begin to feel certain that my chances of becoming younger are exceed­ ingly slim. In m.v case senile debility is not due to vicioos habits, yet I have a habit of getting older each day. f have been infirm from age ever since I began to grow old."

The greatest danger from LaGrippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reason­ able care is used, however, and Chamber* Iain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this rem­ edy is a certain preven'ive of that dan­ gerous disease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other remedy. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by J. A. Story. - Dr. Bull's cough Syrup has cured whooping eough when no other treatment would give relief. For croup this remarkable rem*}? has no equal.

It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hololw cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicate it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. _ When these symptoms are present no time should be loet in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stop­ page, and sometimes requiring the draw­ ing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright,« Disease, the most dan­ gerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. It refutation is woi ld- wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. Howswer, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention the PLAIN- DEALER and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y., for a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. CHAMBERLAIE'S COUGH REMEDY. This remedy is intended especially fpr coughs, colds, whooping congh, croup and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been receiv­ ed, fiixing accounts of its good works; of the aggravating and persistent coughs it has cured; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child.
