Several of our exchanges predict that we will have an open winter, basing their calculations on the actions of the musk-rats, claiming that tbose rodents are not building houses in anticipation of cold weather. There must be a dif­ ference of opinion occasionally even among dumb animals, for several musk- rat houses have sprung up in the river near this place, The thought that we are- actual cre­ ators of the world's future is one that must load'us wi£h a sense of responsi bility that will be intolerable or inspir ing according to our disposition.

Did Not Find the Girls. • ' . * f The hide and seek party on Hallow­ een resulted in a victory for the girls. Shortly after darknoss began to creep over the earth young ladies could be seen flitting through dark alleys and up the back streets, making for the rendez­ vous, while sneaking around the cor­ ners small boys, sent out as spies, were endeavoring to watch the -movements of the hiding party. But the spies were outwitted as were also the searching party which took up the chase later. The girls had hidden in the garret at W. A. Colby's residence, and although the boys searched every other room in the house, they were foiled. At the ap­ pointed hour the girls came from their hiding place and all hied themselves to Stoffel's ball where everyone danced and feasted; And the boys paid the freight. • It would seem that anything of the above nature would be sufficient pleasure for all young people on Hal­ loween. It is certainly much more sat­ isfactory to |he public and lees harrow­ ing to the conscience than would be the act of turning the- town upside down and keeping people awake all night Foley's Honey and Tttt for coughs and colds; reliable, tried and tested, V- - , , > , - *1 ^ , - J k •AF'VL'-.FRSH A" "C-JKFV -YV ; LJCHI 1 50 50 4 20 8 05 240 4 76 15 00 Council Room, November' 8,-1902.

An accident at the main street cross­ ing of the Northwestern road in Algon­ quin, Saturday night, resulted in the death of four persons. Three were kil­ led outright and the fourth died Sunday morning at Sherman hospital. The vic­ tims of the fatality were: Frank and Louis Schuette of Algon­ quin, aged respectively 28 and 21 years, sons of William Schuette, a well known farmer. James and Charles Woodrich, the latter of Algonquin and the former of Ki'.bourne City, Wisconsin, James Woodrich was about 17 yean of age. He was at Algonquin on a visit to his cousin, Charles Woodrich. The Woodrich boys, in company with Frank and Louis Schuette, planned a drive to Dundee, Saturday evening, and they started about 8 o'clock. They engaged a two-seater at the Morton House livery and were driving across the crdssing of tbe Northwestern road on the main street in Algonquin when the accident occurred. The train whieh struok them is known as the "flying milk train." It runs at a terrific speed, and is due in Elgin at 6:45 but nearly every night it Is late, as was the case,, Saturday night The train starts from Belvidere and runs by way of Genoa Junction to Crystal Lake and thence to Chicago via Elgin. It takes no passengers, the train consisting of milk cars loaded with bottled milk from the bottling works of the Borden com­ pany. The train usually passes Roberts' train at Algonquin and for the balance of the route it has the right of way. Saturday night the train was late and it passed Roberts' train at Crystal Lake, consequently it did not stop at the Al­ gonquin depot and was running at a high rate of speed The occupants of the carriage did not hear the train, although one eye witness says the whistle sounded twice before the crossing was reached. The engine struck the carriage squarely hurling the occupants in eyery direction. Louis Schuette was the only one of the four who was aliye when picked up. Both legs and both arms were broken. He had also sustained injuries on the head. He was pioked up at the foot of an embankment. As quickly as possible he was placed aboard the train and brought to Elgin. At the depot he was transferred to the police ambulance and taken to the Sherman hospital. Dr. Burlingame did all possible for him, but his injuries were so severe that he died about 5 o'clock Sunday morning. His brother Frank Schuette was found wed­ ged in upon the pilot of {he engine. His body was crushed and mangled and he was dead when the train stopped. Charles Woodrioh was found 135 feet from the scene of the collision, and his cousin, James Woodrioh, was thrown some 100 feet to one 'side. Both were dead when pioked up. Frank and Louis Sohuette leave be­ sides their parents five brothers. The., are Otto, of Chicago; Gustavo, a farmer liviqp near Algonquin; and William, Henry and Charles, livit^r with their parents. The brothers who were killed were born in Nunda and worked for their father on his farm. One of the horses in the team was killed, but the other esoaped without a scratoh. The vehicle waa of oourse splintered into a thousand pieoee. The inquest on Louis Schuette, who died at Sherman hospital was held Mon­ day morning. Coroner Mead cowing up from Geneva to take charge. The fol­ lowing jury . was impaneled: John Brown, George S. Young, John J. Kelly, James Lewis, George Allen and S. E. McMillen. The first witness was Otto Schuette, a brother. He testified that the deceased was 21 years of age and that the other brother, Frank, was 38. He identified the dead man as his brother but knew nothing of the acci-' dent. The next witness was Frank Blunt, engineer of the train. He testi fied that the train was an hour and fifty minutes late and he was running at the time about 25 miles an hout. He had a clear track and whistled for the depot but did not whistle for the crossing. There is an electric light near the cross­ ing. He said the head light on the engine was burning as usual. He thought two of the bodies were probably carried some distanoe and were dropped off be­ fore the train stopped. Seymour Tan­ ner, the firemen, and G. E. Stafford, the brakeman, corroborated the evidence of the engineer. Neither saw the accident. Goorge McPhorson, the oonductor, stated that he was on the way car at the time and knew nothing of the acci­ dent until the train stopped on the, bridge over Fox river. He and the brakeman went back, the train not backing up until the brakeman had gone back to flag a freight train that was following. Tbe conductor testified to assisting in placing the injured man on a car, making a bed for him and bringing him to Elgin. The patient groaned frequently but could not speak. Edward Bruns, a railroad laborer, swore that the bell of the engine was ringing as the train approached the crossing, but the whistle did not sound. He saw an accident was about to happen and yelled to the occupants of the. car- did not hear. On the 1:50 tsain Monday afternoon the jury went to Algonquin to view the scene of the catastrophe. A verdict of death from injuries received by being struck by a train was returned, The company was not censured.--Elgin Courier. HEAD END COLLISION Borden Co. Milk Train Figures la Another Accident, t • •? -'fu- v . • -*•'#* -i ^ " . Si,*"-1'}• , •!) J'.'..': ;• The Elgin Courier says that LouiB Walsh, fireman on W. W. Roberts' train, which runs north through Elgin at 6:25 o'clock, was considerably injured in a collision at Crystal Lake, Monday evening. He is a son of Jamea Walsh, who is einjf.oyed in the balance room in the watch factory, and a nephew of T. J. Walsh of this village. The accident occurred about. seven o'clock, near the round house at Crystal Lake station. The milk train which killed four men at Algonquin Saturday night was waiting for Roberta' train on a side-track. "Hat" Sergeant engineer on the north bound train, saw the head­ light of the milk train on the side-track and as he had the right-of-way supposed the switch was turned for his train to run on the main track. There was no light on the switch post The switch, it seems, was turned wrong, and Roberts' train was unex­ pectedly side-tracked. As soon as Engineer Sergeant real­ ized the situation he applied the emer­ gency brake. Just before the two en­ gines came together he and the fireman, Walsh, jumped. Both were injured somewhat Ser­ geant sprained his arm, but Walsh was so severely shocked and bruised that he had to be carried to the hotel on a stretcher. No bones were broken, but his injuries will lay him up for some days at least Sergeant is' unable to work today. The incoming train had nearly slopped when the collision ooourred aad but lit­ tle damage was done. LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION REPUBLICAN VICTORIES. 8TATE QOE8 REPUBLICAN BY A MAJORITY OF NEARLY 60,000. Union Stock Yards, Chicago, November 29 to December 6. A most highly interesting and in­ structive innovation this year at the In­ ternational Live Stock Exposition will be the admission of farmers' sons into the students' judging contest The don­ ors of the premiums for this year's con test, Messrs. Spoor, Clay and Sanders, have specially specified that the contest be left open to all farmers' sons, regard­ less of their belonging .to any agricul tural college. This will give the colleges an oppor­ tunity to prove up their teachings, and boys who are not able to take the time for schooling will have an opportunity to become a part of this educational feast It will hardly be expected that any recognized, first-class school will, under these oircumstances, fail to enter the lists, as the schools would better look to their laurels in such a contest Fathers whose boys have not attended this Exposition should not allow any­ thing to prevent the boys from coming this year to watch this event, so as to prepare themselves for subsequent con­ tests, as undoubtedly at future Exposi­ tions this feature will remain a fixture. In addition to its being a pleasure to send the boyB, fathers should consider it a bounden duty to give them the ben­ efit of this week's live stock education, and the man who farms and is not a student striving to improve and put his place on a better footing each year will not be a success.

This conclusion is reached by buyers who have made a canvass of the country districts. It is estimated that the turkey crop will be one half smaller than last year, and that prices on the Chicago market around Thanksgiying time, when, the. fowl is most in demand, will *beut two cents a pound higher tto*a. year ago. At the present time thirteen and; one half cen.ta a pound is being bid for car lo.ts* mpny sales aa^high as fonr-> teen cents. This is an anhfard of ptioa ^t this time of year.
