Advices from the western part of Lake county are to the effect that a well defined rumor is going the rounds that the contract has been let for th*» building of the electrie railroad project­ ed from Oak Park to Fox Lake. In view of the fact that a greater portion of the right of way has been secured, that the road has ample financial back­ ing; and that the report is from good authority it would seem that the towns of DesPlaines, Lake Zurich and Waucon- da as well as the western part of the oounty are to have the road so long ex­ pected. .

It has been rumored. recently that in all probability the McHenrv Creamery would be shut down owing to the small amount of milk received, but the pres­ ent outlook does not point to an early closing of the plant. The buttermaker. Herman Kambolz, informs us that he is working up between six and seven thousand pounds of milk each day which is a much larger run than many creameries enjoy. Herman is doing th^ work alone, and says there is enough to keep him bttsy at least.

Finds Way to Live Long. The startling announcement of a dis­ covery that will surely lengthen life is made by editor O. H. Downey, of Chu­ rn busco.Ind. "I wish to state, he writes, "that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is the most infallible rem­ edy that I have ever known for Coughs, Uolds and Grip. It's invaluable to peo­ ple with weak lungs. Having this won­ derful medicine no one need dread Pneu­ monia or Consumption. Its relief is in­ stant and cure certain." Julia A. Story guarantees every 50c and $1.00 bottle, and gives trial bottles free. Elgin mo. John Walton was a Fremont caller Monday. Frank Sexton returned from Monday.

Miss Elsie Smith was tbe victim of a surprise party Friday evening given by the "Jolly Rebels." Those present re­ port a very enjoyable time. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it bibck in plaoe as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had been Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver­ tised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several day?. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommend­ ed it to many others. For sale by fcll druggists.

A settlement with creditors of the Elgin creamery is near at hand. Judge Kohlsaat in the United States District court Monday approved Referee in Bank­ ruptcy Wean's recommendations in re­ gard to a composition of claims, and by this arrangement tbe creditors will re- ceiye 40 per cent of the money due them. The American Trust and Savings bank, receiver of the defunct crncern, will begin paying these claims in a short time. The bankruptcy proceedings against the creameiy company were begun in the Federal court last August. After­ ward about 10,000 creditors in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa filed their claims, amounting to several hundred thousands of dollars. The sale of the dairies brought the money which is now to be dis­ tributed.

Spafford, postmaster, Chester, Mich., and a dose of One Minute Cough Cure was admin­ istered and repeated often. It reduced the swelling and infiamation, cut the mucus and shortly tbe child was resting easy and speedily recovered. It cures Coughs, Colds, LaGrippe, and all Lung and Throat troubles. One Minute Cough Cure lingers in the throat and chest and enables the lungs to contrib­ ute pure, health-giving oxygen to the blood. Julia A. Story, McHenry; G. W.

Five hundred employes of £fee Knick­ erbocker Ice Company employed in the ice houses at Powers Lake, in the west­ ern part of Kenosha county, went out on strike Tuesday of last week, de­ manding an increase of twenty-five cents a day in wages. They got the raise the next day. The ice crop will not wait for the deliberations of a board of arbitration. About fifty men at Crystal Lake, working for the same company, went out last week, but the matter was soon settled. One Hundred Dollar* Bex is the value H. A. Tisdale, Summerton, S. C., places on DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. He says: "I had the piles for 30 years. I tried many doctors and medicine®, but all failed except DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. It cured me." It is a combination of the healing proper­ ties of Witch Hazel with antiseptics em­ ollients; relieves and permanently cures blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, sores, cuts, bruises, eczema, salt rheum and all skin diseases.

Never, mind if they do get a little of the ,fruit. Passing the sentimental an^^ aesthetic side of bird life as associated with man and viewed from purely an economic standpoint, the birds should be protected and fos­ tered, as they stand directly between man and a horde of insect pests which if not kept in subjection would speedily paralyze all of man's efforts in both agriculture and horticulture. There are ten birds in England where there is one here and England is one of the most productive countries on ti\e face ot tfee earth. Killed by m. Dead Man. In the second Afghan war an English officer, a well known swordsman, rode out to tackle an Afghan chief who, after the fashion of his countrymen, had challenged all and sundry to a fight. Both were mounted. Tliey rode round each other, watching an opportu­ nity, and the Englishman found his Just a little too soon. He rode at the Afghan and ran him through the heart just as he was swinging" his heavy sword above his head. Th6 Afghan died, but the sword came down and split the officer's skull.

A N^w York man tells this story of a friend who was very fond of field sports and possessed a fine pair of red Irish setters. One night he visited a fashionable gambling establishment, taking tbe dogs with him. He sat down to enjoy supper, when the pro­ prietor, who was very fond of shoot­ ing, remarked: "Those are very fine animals,. Mf. Blank. Are they broke?" "Heavens! No," was tbe response.

A Scientific Discovery. Kodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itselt, even when but slightly disordered or over loaded. Kodol supplies the natural juices of di­ gestion and does the work of the stom­ ach, relaxing the nervous tension, while the inflamed muscle* of that organ are allowed to rest and heal. Kodol digests what you eat and enables the stomach and digestive organs to transform all food into rich, rare blood. Julia A. Story, McHenry/G. W. Besley, West McHenry. .
