Relieved that th* Www Ahont Palatine Is Mow Osder CdstiaL ' ^ The spread of anthrax among cattle in the vicinity of Palatine and Barring- ton is gradually abating. But few cattle have died lately, and it is thought the disease has been prac­ tically checked. The quarantine is still in effect, and will remain so for some time. A close watch is kept for new developments. Halloween. Jpj Halloween comes but once a year, bi«t as a usual thing people are remind­ ed of it in such a manner that to forget it iu a score of years would be impossi­ ble. Years ago the evening before All Saint's day, November 1, was given over to festivities quite different from the manner in which the present day youth celebrates. There was no de­ stroying of property as is too often the case now. In most towns it has become ucCcBSttr y to appoint several special night watches to keep the boys within bounds, and even then they will do seme ssisotuef. If the fan makers wish to make a night of it and have a rous­ ing good time, there is no one who will say them nay. But when gates are hidden, door steps broken, wagons and carriages taken apart and scattered about town, out houses turned over and smashed it is going a little to far and should not be tolerated. We know that the boys would not at any other time during the year do any of these tricks, why then shonld they imagine that they have the right to do so on thiB partic­ ular night. We feel confident that the authorities will look after the interests of property owners. Obituary of Ju&s W. Orlmoldby.

Was Ballt by Owen Brothers Many Tesn Ago--Ovnedt By Richard Bishop For Many Tears--In Good Order Mow. Last week Stephen Reynolds reoeived his abstract of title and the old Bishop Mills was turned over to him for a con­ sideration of $8,000. The purchase in­ cludes the grist and flour mill and the planing mill, together with about fifty- nine acvee of land, most of which iff un­ der water, constituting, the mill pond. Mr. Reynolds is a filler of the first class, having serve*? his apprenticeship in England, and pas been engaged in the business continually since learning the trade. He expects to make many improvements in the place as soon as *DW v'uwyHru possible. Next spring he expects to pwT R*ven ^ in modern machinery for making flour, so that he can handle a large ainonnt of wheat and at the same time turn ont a fine flour. He will also greatly improve the appearance of the building by re­ pairing and painting. Only last sum-. mer a new 80-horse power gasoline en­ gine was i&t into the mill, thus making it possible to grind at all times. Every­ thing is in good running order, and we wish Mr. Reynolds nothing better than all the work his combined «*ngtna and water power can do. , The old mill was built by Owafft*511 and for the world 8 1?ood' t,hftt tbe As will be gathered from the notice following, Mr. Edwin Drury loves Mr. Slade devotedly. During the past sum­ mer he visited him a number of times, prepared his article, "The Fundamental Basis of Immortality," for the press and attended to all the details of its publi­ cation, often saying it was "a labor of love." You who know iir. Drury can easily believe that, in bis own dear way, he gave Mr. Slade on his bed of pain & deal of comfort, satisfaction and joy in such friendship. We believe many about McHenry have for Mr. Slade the same affection expressed by-Mr. Drury: "Brother Slade, our dear old friend, a laborer of more than sixty years in the vineyard of 'immortal truths' has a neat booklet of 88 pages entitled "The Fundamental Basis of Immortality.' Facing the title page is a perfect likeness of himself and a fac-simile of his signature. "He shows how the finite rests upon the bosom of the infinite, and how the current of God's life operates in us and in all things; that the life of God and the life of man are identical; that our's is a life the great Father will never let die; that 'God's way is to work in us to will and to do His good pleasure,, striv­ ing in tbe toil of life against the world's HAPPENING8 IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIE8.

Abbott, of Cary, went to the home of Mr. Abbott's milk dealer in Chicago and tried to collect $25 of Mr, Abbott's milk money in advance, claim­ ing that he needed the money to buy new cans. The dealer was absent from home, and hiB wife did not have the money for the swindler. The dealer said, afterward, that had he been home he would surely haye let the man have th© oionoy, th*? shsrp^r dsscrib^d Mr. Abbott's milk cans and showed such an intimate knowledge of Mr. Abbott'* business that he would have taken him for Mr. Abbott, whom he had never seen. Mr. Abbott never heard of tbe man, and of course never authorized him to collect a cent The graft is a new one, and farmers would do well to watch ont for it, and instruct buyers to pay no one but themselves or authorised repre­ sentatives.

The news of the marriage of Mr. N. J, Shoemal er and Miss Winni- fred Dermont came as a decided surprise to tLoir liibuy friends. Last Wednesday they informed only the bride's parents and a few intimate friends of their in­ tentions, and taking the train for Gene­ va, Kane Co , were quietly married. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dermont, a pretty and win­ some young lady, and a favorite with her many associates. The groom is an employe of the Chi­ cago Telephone company and has been in McHenry for several months. Dur­ ing his stay here he has made irfany friends. He is an athlete, and by his work in tbe base ball and foot ball teams has won many admirers. Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker will prob­ ably remain in McHenry until the first of tiie year.

The game of foot ball last Saturday was decidely interesting, the teams be­ ing very evenly matched. The Mc Henry team was the heavier, but lacked practice. The Woodstocks were not the best that ever came over the pike, but they did show that they had been practicing some, and won the game by a few end plays. E.C. Joslyn did not play center as was naturally expected, which accounts for a weakness in the Mc­ Henry line, although Star Brink who took the position did his work well con­ sidering it was the first time he ever played the position. We can only say that the boys did well, and were they to meet the same team again inside of two weeks, the score would be .some­ what different. As it was, the score was no; ane to be ashamed of, being 11 to 0. There was a fair sized crowd in attendance but not large enough to en­ courage the boys to go into the thing very deeply from a financial stand­ point The Two Be»t In One. People who formerly considered the Chicago Reoord to be America's model daily or who believed The Chicago Times-Herald to be premier among American newspapers now have an op­ portunity of judging every day how re­ markably complete and excellent in every department is that great metropol­ itan daily, The Chicago Record-Herald, which combines "the two beet in one." All the popular features of both The Chicago Record and the Chicago Times- Herald are included in the Chicago Reoord-Herald. In the Sunday issues especially the great advantages of the combination of all the resources and world-wide facilities of the two papers united in the combination are made manifest. The worlds news is covered with unexampled fullness, due to the fact that never before in the history of journalism did an American '-ne wspaper possess news facilities so varied and ex­ tensive. ; Notlee to Subscriber*.
