The annual town election for the township of McHenry, held on Tuesday last was one of the tamest affairs of the kind held for years. There was but one ticket in the field, and consequently but little interest was taken by the voters. Only about 80 votes were polled out of a possible six hundred, which proves that it is necessary to get up a friendly strife in order to bring out the voters. At the Republican Caucus held two weeks ago the present incumbents for the office to be filled had all fitted the positions so acceptably that they were all re-nomin­ ated by acclamation, and the democrats making no nominations, left a clear field, with the result stated above. The following are the names of those re­ elected on Tuesday: . Town Clerk--Charles Harmsen. Assessor--S. W. Smith. Collector--Peter Rothermel. Commissioner of Highways--John H. Freund. Lewis Ackerman, Goshen, Ind., says "DeWitt's Little Early Risers always bring certain relief, cure my headache and never gripe." They gently cleanse and invigorate the bowels and liver Julia A. Story. Mysterious Disappearance. Ofli the night of March 2, 1900, Rolla Jasper Eliasson disappeared from the home of his parents, about two and a half miles west of Elburn, in the ab­ sence of any known reason for his de­ parture. He is sixteen years of age, five feet six inches tall, light blue eyes; wore a blue cap, black coat, drab stripped pants, felt boots, and earned with him a bundle. Should he happen to read this notice, his parents, and particularly his mother, wishes to state that on his return he will be gladly and kindly received should he return or, should he fail to return, word from him as to how he is getting along would lift a burden of anxiety from her mind. Any information which may lead to the discovery of his whereabouts will be thankfully re­ ceived. Exchanges please copy. Ad­ dress, John Eliasson, Elburn, Kane County, 111.
