JLIat Drawn for September T»>rm of th0 McHenry County Circuit Court, ^ w m . r.'; RICHARDSON'S Daring the past week McHenry ooonty has had several narrow escapes from frost and the weather man states that we may catch it at -any time. In the east part of Lake county some corn has been badly nipped. The visit of the frost was general throughout the North>and' the North­ west. Killing frosts were reported from Valentine, North Platte, Omaha, Lin­ coln, Neb.; Huron and Pierre, S. D.; Denver, Cheyenne, Plainfield, Wis., Williston, N. D., and Dodge City, Kan. Heavy frosts prevailed at Moorehead, Minn.; DesMoines, and Marqnete, Mich. At St. Paul, LaCrosse, Dubuque,Daven­ port, Omaha and Concordia the frost was not so heavy, bat was damaging nevertheless. ^ The temperature was low as 22 de­ grees in some places. This was the mark recorded at Cheyenne, and at Valentine, Neb. In parts of Colorado the thermomeser registered at 24 de­ grees; at Huron, S. D., 26: and at Den­ ver and North Platte 80 degrees. The prospects point to continued cool weath­ er, with frosts that may do much dam­ age to the late corn and tender vege­ tables. Late corn in northern Iowa and South Dakota is badly damaged. Flax and all other uncut crops in North Dakota suffered, much by the frost. In Minnesota all vegetation now matured was nipped, and much of the late corn in the northwestern part of the state will have to be cut and fed as a result of the frost. From Denver came the report that there was a killing frost all along the eastern slope of the mountains in Colo­ rado, with the exception of the south' em corner. With the thermometer at 80 degrees, it was the coldest September day in Denver of which there is any record in the weather bureau. In Weldy county, Colorado, embracing the fam­ ous potato district, the mercury touched 24 degrees. In Nebraska the frost was general and in many places it was heavy. The damage to the corn crop is estimated at 15 per cent in the north and northwest­ ern portion of the state. Ice formed at Kearney and around this point the late garden truck is reported killed. Little damage was caused to the corn crop in Kansas by the frost, as it is too far advanced. Other late crops suffered however. Heavy frosts were general in Wisconsin, where the corn is very late. It is feared that much damage will result to the crop. Beware of the Knife? No profession has advanced mote rap­ idly of late than surgery, but it should not be used except where absolutely nec­ essary. In cases of piles, for example it is not needed. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures quickly and permanently. Unequaled for cuts, burns, bruises, skin diseases wounds. Accept no counter­ feits.

On Saturday bids for filling were opened and* the contract awarded to Messrs. Moss and Waterman of Spring Grove, their bid being f187.50. They will com­ mence work at once and expect to finish the job before cold weather sets in. The bridge is a graceful and rigid structure and will stand as a lasting monument to the highway commission­ ers of 1902, who by their persistence were instrumental in getting the con­ sent of the voters in doing the work. It is a bridge that Vill last many years and in the end save the town hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dollars. A Parson's Noble Act. "I wapt all the world to know," writes Rev. C. J.

Mur­ ray were driving to Volofrom McHenry last Friday evening with a load of peaches they met an automobile. The horses at once became frightened and swerved to the side of the road. The wagon struck seme obstacle and tipping threw both men to the ground. Mr. Murray escaped injury but Mr. Ray­ mond did not fare as well. His leg was broken near the ankle. He will be laid up for some time to come. The automobile is a terror to horses for some reason--jnst why it is thus no one seems to be able to explain.

It is said that there is only one larg<* company in the United States not in the combine, but whether this company will remain standing alone is a question that can not be answered by anyone at present. It is sufficient to assume that the new company is organized to regelate the prices. The incorporators st^kte that the price of the machines will not be advanced, but that the cost of manu­ facture will be greatly reduced by the combination, not in cutting down ^atfes but in purchasing raw material. , Lingering Summer Colds. .

Each student, when assigned a duty, is required to perform that duty, as would be ex­ pected of him in the preparation of any other work assigned. If we are to give our boys and girls a "Literary Educa­ tion, " we feel that work of this nature helps them as nothing else can, in the application of the knowledge given. Work of this kind will be established throughout the grades, to which, in connect ion with al l school work, w e cordially invite the attention of our patrons. However, do not expect masters of the art, any more than you would in daily routine work, for we are here studying together the principles and purposes of life that we may create and maintain in every student the highest ideal of hbtnan life. » Watch this column for program.
