Bishop Edward Quigley is a native of Canada, having been born at Osha- wa October 15, 1854, but when two years old he was taken to Lima, N. Y., by his parents, who took up their residence in that place. His boyhood was spent in western New York, and to round out his education he was sent to St. Joseph's college, an institution conducted by the Christian brothers at Buffalo. While at college he took the examination for a vacant cadetship at West Point and won the coveted prize. On reflection, however, the young man decided to de vote his life to the peaceful career of a priest in the Roman Catholic church. On graduation from college in 187a he entered the seminary of Our Lady of Angels at Suspension Bridge, now knowu as Niagara University, and took up his studies for the priesthood. While at the seminary the brilliant qualities Mid earnest devotion of the young devotee attracted the attention of Bishop Ry an, of Buffalo, who watched his career with interest. The bishop became much attached to the sealous student and pre­ pared the way for a sojourn in Europe that had an all important influence on the after career of the brilliant yonng man. At Bishop Ryan's suggestion and with his active assistance the fntnrearchbish­ op ieft America for a course of study al Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol. In 1875 tbe way was opened for him to go to Rome, where he enjoyed the splen­ did opportunities offered by the College of the Propaganda. Four years in thai great school gave him a fine mental and ceremonial training. He graduated in 1879 and was honored with tbe degree of doctor of divinity. Father Quigley was ordained to the priesthood and immediately entered upon his work in America. His first charge was as pastor of St. Vincent's church at Attica, N. Y., about thirty miles sonthwest of Buffalo. He re mained there until 1884, when he was aDpointed to the vacant rectorship of St. Joseph's cathedral at Buffalo and became pastor of the parish. He rose rapidly iu favor, being made a member of the bish­ ops' council in 1885 and a year later master of ceremonies of the synod of the diocese. In 1896 Father Quigley was appointed to the life rectorate of St. Bridget's church, one of the largest parishes in Kuffalo. Included in its area is the dock district. Shortly after the death of Bishop Ryan the young pastor of St. Bridget's was selected for the position of Bishop and he was consecrated in January, 1897. THE PAST AND FUTURE GEO. A.

The executive committee of the Mc1 Henry County Agricultural Board met in the court house at Woodstock on Wednesday, December 17, at 11 a. m,, President Hatch in the chair. Present: Committeemen H. C. LaBrec, G. R. Latin ing, O. H. Lincoln, R. W. Met- calf, J. A. Bayrd, J. EL Turner, Clif­ ford Thompson, Fred B. McConnell. E. G. Turner, W. H. Cole, E. A. Sujith. C. E. Rowley and Wm. Hill; Vice- Presidents C. W. Harrison and M. J. Wright, General Sujierintendent C. F. Dike, Treasurer Fremont Hoy and Superintendent of Privileges H. C. Mead. President Hatch stated that the ob­ ject of tbe meeting was to devise meant for raising the indebtedness of tbe as -tociation and to outline the policy for the coming year. He made a stirring speech calling attention to the benefit* of a successful fair aDd appealed to tht pride and patriotism of the people o> the county. He stated in subetauct chat the association had an elephant on its hands, and that the moving of thie elephant called for intelligent, co-oper­ ative, concerted action of the members de said that they must act not only col lectively but individually in order to bi uccessful, and quoted the maxim, "Nothing succeeds like success," ano said that the price of success in thit- uiatter was hard, intelligent and en thusiastic work on the part of each in dividual member, and they should pui the same enthusiasm into the work a would a boy chasing a butterfly. He expressed himself as being well pleased with the attendance, there being a larg er number present than at any other ex ecutive committee meeting that he had ever attended. At the afternoon session Secretary Hunt was called upon to express hit* view in regard to the policy of the fail and did so by reading a paper which h had prepared on "The PAst and Future of Our County Fair," which follows: "Nearly fifty years ago the AlcHenn County Agricultural Board began iw career as one of the institutions of our c rnnty. For fifteen years it struggleo on without grounds on which to bolo its exhibitions and without suitable baildings in which to house its exhibits. During the seven years following it suc­ ceeded in securing a perpetual lease ox the ten acres belonging to' the county, located in the center of the present grounds, and purchased about fifteen acres additional lying to the north and Houth of the original plat, built the doral hall, ticket office, stables ano sheds, and made other improvement- which placed it on a substantial basis, and in tbe year 1875 the society paid fl 195.75 in premiums. Since that year the board has bad manv ups and down- and in 1883 was nearly $5,000 in debt During the following years this indebt aduess was wiped out, improvements made and'good fairs lield. "Again, at the present time, owing to ircumstances which are, to say the ;east, unfortunate, we are burdened A'ith an indebtedness of over $5,000. It is not my pur^iose to lay the blame for this condition of affairs upon any indi v dual or set of individuals; no doubt all are more or less to blame. The con­ stitution and by-laws have been wholly Inadequate for the proper control and management of the affairs of the board, tud there have been consequent mis­ understandings and disagreements; the true intent and purpose of the organiza tion, as set forth in the preamble of the organization, have been largely over­ looked or disreg irde 1 for many years, and speed, political demonstrations and other attractions foreign to the real ob- jeot of the organization have been made the important, disti ictive features of the fairs. The fair wa< not organized for the purpose of making money, to advance the politic »> interests of the uobuly, to promote horse racing, nor for any purpose other than to educate and enoourage the people in promoting and building up the agricultural and indus- Dies In Cemetery. With the words "Dig her grave here" no M ore t'tan o tt of his mouth Enoch Colby, Jr., 62 years old, ool- lapsed and died Tuesday in the Barring- ton cemetery on t e spot that he had just designated as the burial place of his niece. Miss Horner, who until a short time ago made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Colby, died in Indiana, and arrangements were being made to bring the body to Barrington for bnrial. Mr. Colby had been much attached to his niece, and it is thought that the shock of hearing of her death was responsible for the heart failure which ended his own life. A kidney or bladder trouble can always be cured by using Foley's Kid­ ney Cure in time- Sold by X. H. Pet- gdri). GOOD ENTERTAINMENT By the Young Ladles Society of St. Mary's Parish, December M, that these conditions have existed? It is ev erybody's fault. Let u< not co plain, but learn a lesson in these failures and never again lose sight of the fjjict that education and competition must be the distinctive features of the fair if we are to make of it a full measure of success in the future. The officers of the fair are greatly burdened and hampered by this load of debt, but they are surely not disheartened. They believe that the people of the county are awakening to a realization of the true aim and pur­ pose of the agricultural board, and if the proper policy is outlined, they will no doubt come, they are already com­ ing, from all parts of the county to the support of this institution. We have been a long time in starting this movement in the right direction. Farmers, however, are slow to organ­ ize. Mr. Kerrick aptly expresses this when he says, "Farmers are conserva­ tive, they are hard to move individual­ ly, they are harder to move en masse, but when they do move, other things move that need moving."

Last week officials of the Northwest­ ern road were in McHenry looking over the grounds and laying plans to erect a new depot, a most gratifying piece 01 news to the 'ong suffering public. The old antiquated structure has been an eyesore and inadequate to the needs of McHenry for many years. The new depot will probabily be bnilt on the spot where the old one stands, out it will necessitate the removal of the side tracks and other changes. It is now the intention of the company to construct a depot with two waiting rooms and a larger office where the igent and operator will have sufficient space in yhioh to handle the large amount of business that comes their way, especially during the summer mouths. It is likely that a separate building will be built for the storage ot freight. 8UE8 THE VILLAGE./ EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINQ8 IN M'HENRY ANO ADJACENT COUNTIES. Algonquin Made Defendant la Soil fcr §3,000 Damages. Louis J. Althen ot Elgin has entered suit against the village of Algonquin for $8, 000 damages for having to pay the notes signed by him and John Wan- drack for saloon license. The Citizen says that the history of this litigation has been very interesting to all con cerned. When Wand rack was forced by his bondsman, L. J. Althen, to dis­ continue his bus'ness he surrendered his license, which was revoked by the village board. The Village treasurer, who held notes to the amount of $500 aga nst Wand rack, then levied on the stock for the amount. Mr. Althen made a settlement and paid the notes, then asked that the license which had been paid until May, 1908, be transferred to a man from Hampshire, which re­ quest was refused by the board, who cook exception to tbe applicant. Other arrangements and peaceful means of suasion were employed by Mr. Althen to no purpose aud he now seeks to force the vilUge board through the courts. I'tng Pong for the Farmer. A farmer living near Nunda is the in­ ventor of a new game called "improved ping pong," Bays the Herald. It »is to be played on tbe farm in the fall of the year. Tbe player gets up at four o'clock in tbe morning, milks the cows, feeds the hogs and horses, eats breakfast, then hitches a team to a wagon about the size of a box car, and starts for the cornfield. Here is where the ping pong comes in. Yon grab a big ear of corn in the left hand and with the right hand and a contraption of some kind, you yank the shuck off the corn and throw the ear at the big wagon. When tbe ear of corn strikes against the throw board it goes "ping," and it then hits the botto 11 of the wagon and sounds "pong," making a very interesting game at 2| cents a bushel. Iteautiful Calendars. Among those whom Tha Plain dealer has supplied with beautiful calendars this year are arbian Bros., John H. Miller, N. A. Huemann, M. J. Walsh, Chris Schmidt, Weber & Schieesle, of this village, and J. S. Brown A Son, and J. tO. Cristy of Ringwood. And they are all pleased with the price paid as well as the g<x> 8. The Parsonage Fund.

Mrs, Amanda Easton died at her home in Marengo last week at the aga of 100 years, lacking a few days. She was undoubtedly the oldest person ia Mc* Henry county. Harvard Herald: H. S. Bell, cashier of the Walworth Exchange Bank, has refused an offer qt $125 per acre for his eighty acre farm, one mile west of Wal- .vorth. For tne eighty acres he was of* tered $10,000, but this was not enough tor Mr. Bell to part with the farm though as an investment, he says the sum offered is better than the farm. Land values have everywhere gone sky­ ward, but in no place more than they uave on Big Foot Prairie, the farmer's garden spot of this region of country.
