Chapel 1 WILMOT PEOPLE IN ARMS (Continued from page one.) It would be impossible to collect more than the amount the company is capital­ ized at. After that the company would go into bankruptcy, but the dam would exist by legal permission. To remove it would be to defy the law. Once put in place, there are a thousand and one devices familiar to th? legal profession to keep it there and Ward off claimants. Much, therefore, depends on prompt action among the claimants before the dam is put in. Perhaps when the whole force of ten thousand acres affected are brought to bear the combined sum of damages will convince the promoters of the enterprise that the cost is out of proportion to the value of what is sought. "The spoiling of these square miles of land taking thrm froin the area that produces, and placing 'them with the area that is waste- is bad enough. But it is the arrogance of the wealthy pleas­ ure seekers, that is worse. The disre­ gard for the common herd, the preval ence, and acceptance of the idea that money is all powerful. It is nothing that the land which yields produce is spoiled. The farmer who harvested can harvest somewhere e'fce. Just as the Indian and his wigwam were shoved out because while he only used the land to hunt the wild animals which lived on it, the white farmer could do better by tilling it, so the city man comes now to shove out the farmer, to turn the producing acres once more into waste, reasoning that it is more important to amuse him than to feed us. The editor of the Agitator must certainly have written the above article just after some horrible dream. Or perhaps he knows nothing about the condition of the river and the resolu­ tions that were adopted at Fox Lake. It is more evident however that he is looking for an argument. If he knows anything about the proceedings of the meeting at Fox Lake he must be aware that it was free for all and everyone bad a chance to speak. He attempts to give his readers the impression that the dam will be built four feet above the present water level, thus raising the water at the Wilmot dam two feet. The proposition was to build a dam feet above low water mark of last year, and a resolution was later passed pro­ viding to keep the water at about the present stage. In there 10,000 acres of land in danger of being rendered use­ less now? The Plaindealer would dis­ like to see a single foot of private land wasted, but it would also be pleased to have the Agitator investigate the matter thoroughly that it may speak intelli­ gently. The people at the Bay and lakes and resorters along the river should hereafter "cut" Bradstreet and Dunn and turn to the Agitator where they are rated high. In another article concerning the "Serene Boss" the editor speaks of the cottage owners at the lakes as a "small army of millionaires. " A man owning land near Grass Lake was in McHenry Monday and stated that he now has about twenty acres of his own land under water, but that a drop of two feet would leave it dry. We feel confident that the committee will investigate all these conditions be­ fore going ahead with the construction of the dam. Everyone will be well satisfied with much less water than is now in the lakes and rivers. At this writing it is asserted that the water is ten inches higher than it was the day the meeting was held WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Rainy and co^i_Jwe^t)i»rrf^prevailed over most of the state during5 the first few days of the week, but fair and warm weather the latter part. In the northern part of the state occassional local showers have occurred throughout the week. Farm work has been delayed somewhat by the rain and also by the wet condition of the ground, but con­ siderable haying and harvesting and some corn plowing was done the latter part of the week. In the northern and central districts crops are recovering to a large extent from the injury caused by the heavy rains the latter part of last week, but in many localities the crops in bottom lands are so badly injured as to be beyond recovery. Though some injury resulted from the rains in the southern district, the effect of these rains has generally been beneficial and crops are now in more promising con­ dition than for some weeks. Wheat and rye harvest is almost entirely com­ pleted in the central and southern dis­ tricts and is in progress in the northern district. Considerable wheat has been threshed in the southern district and some in the central district. There has been considerable injury to oats in the northern and central districts by the heavy rains of last week, which caused them to lodge badly. Reports regard­ ing the condition of corn are generally favorable. Though there has been con­ siderable damage to the crop in bottom lands, the damage is not so great as was feared immediately after the heavy rains. Haying is in progress over most of the state, but until within the past few days conditions have not been favorable for this work and some of the crop has been put up in poor condition. Mother Always Kept It Handy. "My mother suffered for a long time from distressing pains and general ill health due primarily to indigestion," says L. W. Spaulding, Verona, Mo. •'Two years ago 1 got her to try Kodol. She grew better at once and now, at the age of seventy-six, eats anything she wants, remarking that she fears no bad effects as she has her bottle of Kodol handy." Don't waste time doctoring symptoms. Go after the cause. If your stomach is sound your health will be good. Kodol rests the stomach and strengthens the body by digesting your food. It is nature's own tonic. Julia A. Story, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. "Rough House" at Saloon Opening. Amann Brothers had planned for an auspicious opening of their new saloon at Hound Lake station Thursday of last week and it was even more of an affair than had been anticipated, says the Lake County Independent. A crowd of men employed at the Armour ice house helped along things by starting what in saloon vernacular is termed a "rough house." When it was over the saloon fixtures were a wreck, windows broken and in fact the place generally demolished. Several bruised and bleeding participants testifv it was about as "auspicious" an event as has occurred in many moons in that section. However, Amann Brothers are doing business at the old stand and all Is now serene. Vacation Days. Vacation time is here and the children are fairly living out of doors. There could^be no healthier place for them. You need only to guard against the acci­ dents incidentical to most open air sports.

Kasmir Ambrosaitis pastor of St. Ann's Catholic church at Spring Valley was dynamited Thprsday morning in an at­ tempt to kill the priest. For some time past the church has been divided into warring factions and the trouble arose over the question of the salary of the priest. Matters grew steadily worse until one faction of the church declared that they needed no priest, did not want a bishop and could get along without a God. r Acts luiineillately. , Colds are sometimes more trouble­ some in summer than in winter.

THE WEATHER FOR JULY. • The Heavy ibslns Will Cease--^"Hot and Dry" Prediction for the month, Rev. Irl R. Hicks predicted the heavy rains that fell during the month of June, but for July there will be a decided change in the atmospheric oon* ditions. There may be an occasional shower, bat the month will be generally hot and dry and in some places much damage to crops is predicted. June has certainly been a reoord breaker in rain falls, there having been twenty rainy days in this vicinity durinu the month. On the high lands the crops are not damaged, and never was the prospect for a bounteous crop of oats and corn more promising in this section. In the low lands and ravines however the corn js practically rained, oats weathering the storms much better. McHenry county farmers have every reason to feel thankful, especially those in this immediate vicinity. Don't be persuaded into taking some­ thing said to be "just as good" as Mad­ ison Medicine Co's. Rocky Mountain Tea. There is nothing like it. 35c., no aoisv &• W. IMgr. TO MEET IN HARVARD. Democratic Convention Will be Held It That City August 7. A meeting of the Democratic senator­ ial committee of the eighth district was held at the Sherman house, Chicago Monday, when it was decided to hold the district convention at Harvard, Thursday, August 7. Members of the committee present included Messrs. Grady, Hogan and Gibbons, of Lake; J. A. Sweeney, Wm. Stoffel and J. D. Donovan, of McHenry; and Mr. Barber of Boone. The proxy of Mr. Moan, of Boone, wafi held by Mr. Sweeney. Several ballots were taken before Har­ vard won out. W. E. Hogan of High- wood, Lake county, spoke for Ft Sher­ idan. The claims of Harvard were pre­ sented by J. A. Sweeney, while Mr. Bar­ ber spoke in favor of Belvidere. The three votes of Lake were cast for Ft. Sheridan, the three from McHenry, with Mr. Moan's proxy, for Harvard, while Mr. Barber voted for Belvidere. It stood Harvard four, Ft. Sheridan three and Belvidere one for a number of bal­ lots, when Barber changed from Belvi­ dere to Harvard, breaking the deadlock. McHenry county will have twenty-one delegates in the convention, Lake twenty-two and Boone eight. Lake county Democrats wanted the conven­ tion held somewhere near the shore of Lake Michigan. Four years ago they had a bolting convention at Waukegan, having the assistance of the city police force in trying to carry out the plans. But John Donnelly and his warriors gave them a run for their money. The politicians who live near the "City of Zion" were anxious to hold the conven­ tion at Ft. Sheridan this year, so that the United States troops could be called on if necessary.--Harvard Herald. Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea. "About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and se vere attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief but it came back again and again, and for six long years I havt suffered more misery and agony than 1 can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertise ment of Chamberlain's Colic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The re­ sult was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well, or believe that it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me."
