Attend the Fair tonight at the River­ side Hall. New carriage sheds have been boilt at the M. E. church. An excellent program at the city hall Friday and Saturday evenings. Read The Daily Bulletin and keep posted on the events at the Fair. Jake Jasten has-installed city water in the btiilding recently vacated by The Plaindealer. ' y Cisterns and wells are going dry, the prospects are that they will get dryer before spring. Henry Simes has moved into the house recently vacated by F. L. Mc- Omber, on Main Street. Chas. G. Frett dressed a turkey Tuesday that tipped the beam at ex­ actly thirty-two pounds. All kinds of fun at the Catholic Fair. Have you been in attendance? Better go tonight and join in the festivities. A corn buskers' union is now in pro­ cess of formation. It will be amalga­ mated with the "Foderation of Labor." Miss Maggie Adams, of Johnsburgh, went to Chicago yesternay morning to purchase goods for C. M. Adam's store No admission will be charged at the Universalist bazaar. The program alone is worth fifty cents more than that. Miss Julia A. Story is . receiving her line of Xmas goods. Read her ad and keep the words in mind until the buy­ ing season opens. Weber Bros, have moved into the building just east of the old quarters. Wreckers have commenced teari 'g down the corner building. The people of Johnsburgh will petition the board of supervisors at its next meeting for a new iron bridge Heroes the river at that place. There was a goodly attendance at the cob web social last Friday evening. Misses Reynolds and Howe proved them­ selves to be an able entertainment com­ mittee. Present indications point to cheap turkeys this season, cheaper than they have been for some years. Plenty of work and cheap turkeys ought to make the people feel thankful. Circuit Court, continued from the September term, opened at the county seat on Monday, with J udge C. H. Don­ nelly an the bench. The petit jury is also on duty this week. Only i cent per square foot was paid for recoating the old walks instead of 1$ cents as was published in the council proceedings last week These typo­ graphical errors will happen at times.

Evanson received a car load of '•Best on Record" flour Monday. Be­ fore the car was unloaded he sold 100 sacks to Fuller & Went worth, of Wau- conda. It's a good flour and has a big sale. It is evident that farmers have about finished corn husking, judging from the number of teams that are seen on our streets daily. They have enjoyed un- equaled weather for their fall work and feel like rejoicing. The river and mill pond were fro sen over this week, the ice being about one inch in thickness on the pond, and the young hopefuls have been enjoying the sport of skating. But it's rather un­ certain business at this time, boys. Better be careful. We would call your attention to the article headed "The'Bulletin "elsewhere on this page. Mr. Arnold is the most progressive and deservedly successful real setate dealer in the county. A large amount of property has changed hantis the past month through his agancy. Sunday Evening: Preaching. The Methodist people have announced evening preaching at their church for next Sabbath at 7 K)0 o'clock. The pastor, Rev. Lauck, says that out of an experience of eighteen years he has never been without an evening gprvice, usually the best service of the day, and he believes that it will be so here. He invites everybody to come, especially those who have not been in the habit of attending church in the evening. He promises that the singing will be good and the sermon--well go hear it, and judge for yourselves. . Much Concerned. The people of Elgin, Aurora and other towns along Fox river are much con­ cerned over the condition of the water. At those places it is "very low, and is filthy, owing to the sewage that is turned into the river at Elgin and St. Charles. And they still keep np that nonsensical talk of - | deep water-way to the lakea. PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW AJifo PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW.

" THE DEATH MESSENGER. Mr*. John Blake Answered tlw Surnnui Last FrldajN UNIVERSALIST BAZAAR. Mrs. John Blake died at Tier hotne north of this city last Friday morning at 7:30 o'clock. Mrs. Blake has suffered with asthma for the past seven years, but no one in the family expected any immediate serious results from the disease, conse­ quently when she suffered the severe attack last Friday, which resulted in death the whole community was shocked. Mrs. Blake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Miller, was bore in Wisconsin on March It, 1856. On April 5, 1883, she was married to John Blake and since that time lived on the farm north of McHenry. She leaves, besides her husband, four girls aged seven, nine, sixteen and eighteen years. It is in­ deed sad that she should be taken away at this time. Mr. Blake had just sold his farm with the intention of moving to town and enjoying the traits of his years of labor,surrounded by his family. He will move to this city and give his children a chance for an education, but in the household there will be a vacancy that can not be filled and will cast a gloom over the family for years to come, as Mrs. Blake was a kind and devoted mother and a faithful and loving wife. The grief stricken family have the sym­ pathy of the whole community. The funeral was held at St. Mary's church on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 17, at two o'clock, Rev. Fr. Barth officiat­ ing. The remains were laid at rest in St. Mary's cemetery. Thofe from Wisconsin who attended the funeral were her father, Nicholas Miller; brothers, Peter, Jake, Nicholas and Ben; sisters, Susie and Mary, and a brother-in-law, Philip Schumacher. Pleasantly Surprised. Mr. and Mr*. L. H. Owen were very pleasantly surprised at the home of O. N. Owen on Tuesday evening. They were making an evening call at that place, and while there, all unknown to them, a party of friends dropped in to spend the evening. The surprise was complete. With Mrs. C. C. Chapell as hostess an enjoyable evening was spent. Progressive cinch was indulged in, prizes being won by Mrs, T. J. Walsh and F. L. McOmber. The score cards were unique affairs, the idea being con­ ceived by Mrs. C. C. Chapell. Each card was cut and painted to represent a slice of watermelon, one of the princi­ pal products of Oklahotna, and to the card was attached a piece of raw cotton, which is also grown in Oklahoma. On the cards held by the ladies was found the first syllable of an Indian name and to find their partners they found the balance of the name on the cards held by the gentlemen. The prizes were also suggestive of Oklahoma. Delicious refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs Owen expect to leave for their home in Oklahoma next Mon­ day. May they prosper and, above all things, escape that dread disease, home­ sickness, is the wish of their friends. AT THE CITY HALL, FRIDAY AND _ SATURDAY OF THIS WEEK. Many Beautiful and Useful Articles Will Be on Sale--Excellent Program Keah Evening--Rummage Sale. The Willing Workers society, of the Universalist church, assisted by the Y. P. C. U. have completed all necessary arrangements for their bazaar Friday and Saturday of this week. They have spared no efforts to make it a success in every particular. Many articles will be on sale, just the kind of articles that make Christmas gifts. The rummage sale promises to be the best drawing card. Many useful articles have been donated and they will be sold at nomi­ nal prices. You may find just what you want and be able to get it at a price unheard of. Rummage does not mean that every article on sale will be old and worn out, for some things are just as good as new, and perhaps better. The doors will be open all day and refresh­ ments can be secured at any time dur­ ing the day and evening. Mrs. T. J. Walsh has the program in charge, which is a sufficient guarantee that it will be of the best. Each even­ ing a number of musical selections, both instrumental and vocal, will be rendered. It will be noticed by the program below that several male voices have been engaged as well as ladies'. Go to the hall and have a good time. You will not regret the time spent.

According to Chicago advices prices of food stuffs are to take another jump. This will be particularly true of meats. The advance in meats will be caused primarily by a rapid advance in the price of beef cattle. It i& aid that beef threatens to go to a point never known before and that other meats will go up correspondingly. -The cause of the rise of beef is said by the packers to be due the fact that the farmers and stockman have found that it is more profitable to sell their corn at prevailing high prices than to feed it to cattle for the market. They say that this will be adjusted as soon as the farmers find that prices for beef will pay them to feed for the market. There is another reason for the high price of meats and that is the foreign markets opened up by the expansion of American trade. The American farmer has for once been caught napping, it is said, and has failed to provide the mar­ kets opened up to him. In the meantime it is said that beef will be spelled with a big B and that the bovine will occupy an exalted place in the world. School Notes. Victor Peterson has returned to school. < Carlton Ross was absent frote^ school Monday. Nina and Roy Hobart have returned to school. Ella Beebe is a new pupil enrolled in the third room. 4 Charles Heimer was absent from school Tuesday. ~ Hester Bee bee is a new pupil enrolled in the second ropm.

Eggs promise to be as expensive in January as strawberries. Armour & Co., Swift & Co., and the big refrigerat­ ing honses are placing in cold storage eyery case of eggs that they can buy. They expect to have the market at their mercy by Jan. 15, when a fresh-laid egg will be a rarity. Then, it is asserted, the public will be compelled to meet the demands of the combine or .gbstain from eggs. ___________ A sure cure for hiccoughs is to ask the viotim for a loan of five dollars. • It is impossible for the editor to catch all the news no matter how much time he spends on the streets. Now in order tcyround up more personal items we wil&offer a prize to those who wish to help us in the work. To the pers&b who hands in the largest number of items from this date until Jan. 1, 1902, we will send The Plaindealer and Weekly Inter Ocean one year, or you may have your choice of The Ladies' Home Journal, Cosmopolitan, Saturday Evening Post, Frank Leslie's Monthly, American Boy, or any $1.00 magazine published. Commence now and gather the items, send them to this office plain­ ly written, with your name signed. If any two contestants should hand in the same item, the one received first will receive the credit. No item will be credited that is not found worthy of publication. IN HAND8 OF ONE j^AN. Prediction That Insurance BuAieu WTO be Thus Placed. It is said that the doom of the local insurance agent has been pronounced and that within two years he will be no more. The business in McHenry and every other small city will be done by one man, who will receive a regular stipu­ lated salary from a syndicate of com­ panies, and he will write all the insur­ ance business and divide it np 'among the companies in equal proportions. An adjustor paid by all would visit the cities oocasionaly and fix the rates and the one salaried agent would do the rest. It is figured that this will be the re­ sult of the decrease in the cost of in­ surance and the increase in the cost of getting it. The local agent gets a small percentage but in the aggregate this amounts to a very large sum and this would be a direct saving to the companies. At the same time there is not the money in the business there used to be, and in Chicago the coming of the inevitable is recognized in the consolidation of the agencies and the fight being waged against the brokers. The expense accounts of the companies have been, growing enormously, and this with the decrease in cost of insur­ ance has made the business unprofit­ able to some, and several companies have gone out of business. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. wm Gratitude. This office recently received a letter and remittance of one year's subscrip­ tion money from a former resident of McHenry. The party was three years in arrear.', but we had not sent him a statement--his own conscience prompt­ ed him to pay for one year. . Among other things which he says in his letter, just to express his gratitude for our leniency with him, are the following words: "I ought to have known that the country editor is much like a leech, which will suck as long as there is any blood." This, of course does not have any reference to the editor of this paper, for if he possessed the qualities of a leech he would have received a check for $4.50 instead of $1.50. Even the leech knows that it is impossible tract blood from a turnip. Raflle and Blue Rock Shoot. M.' L. Worts is arranging to give a riaffle and blue rock shoot at Buffalo House, Lilly Lake, next week. The raffle will commence on Wednesday evening, Nov. 27, and continue all day Thursdav. Over 300 fine, fat turkeys, geese and ducks will be put up. Com­ mencing at ten o'clock Thursday "morn­ ing a blue rock shoot will take place. Events will be arranged to suit those in attendance. And to top off the whole affair in proper style Mr. Worts will serve a grand Thanksgiving dinner on the 28th, and Vill only charge 25 cents per plate. Those who attend may be assured that Mike will give them a good time. Qoraas will be cared for free of draft*. .> The Salvationists. The Salvation Army brigade, under the command of Ensign Douglas, gave meetings at the M. E. church on Mon­ day and Tuesday evenings. They have been holding meetings at Richmond, Hebron and Solon since they left here Bome weeks ago, the press of the two former towns speaking very highly of them. Ensign Douglas is an excellent lady, and devout worker, and by her kindly disposition wins friends and sup­ porters wherever she holds meetings The brigade has finished its summer campaign and is now on its way to Chi cago to assist in the work in that city during the winter months. Pleasant Cinch Party. Pursuant to invitations sent out a large number of their friends assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Evanson last Friday evening and en­ joyed progressive cinch. The host and hostess spared no pains to make the event a pleasant one and those in at­ tendance know how well they succeeded in their efforts. Tempting refresh­ ments were served. The prises wen won by Dr. D. G. Wells and Miss J)oxa Besley. Sociable at Terra Cotta.
