A chance to save a few dollars. We failed to mention last week the condition in which the public school teachers and pupils found the school building. During ^ie three weeks' va­ cation the janitor, John Brents, had been busy cleaning woodwork, floors, windows, etc., and as a consequence last Monday morning the entire bnild- ing was as fresh and clean as anew one.

She was taken afeonce to the VanNatta home and medical aid summoned. The doctor pronounced it paralysis. Near­ ly the entire body is affected and for a time the relatives and friends were greatly alarmed. At the present time it is impossible to tell just what the de­ velopments will be. She is improving slowly and is receiving all the tender care that hnman efforts can provide, 8HOULD BE ENCOURAGED.

It is desired to effect an organization in every town in the coun- tv wi!! be held which programs of a literary and mnsi cal nature will be given. But the chief object of the club will not be lost sight of, and that is, to increase the interest of the young people in the work on the farm. At these meetings it is, or should be, the intention to devote a certain length of time to discussion of agricul­ tural methods, in telling experiences and exchanging ideas generally. If tjiese branch clubs are thoroughly or­ ganized and a good membership is the outcome, the annual meeting of the as' sociation at the county seat will be i hummer. The young people will in this way be able to make a great show­ ing at the county fair. The first branch of the kind was ef­ fected at Greenwood the first of the year with 100 members. What are the young people of McHenry township go­ ing to do about itT Who will start the ball rolling? J Trouble at the Oliver. The Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock shut down last Monday for a few days. The facts in the premises as we bear them are that a union or or­ ganization of the factory's employes was recently formed and the letting out of one of the men belonging to said union, not because of his affiliation therewith but because he did not com­ ply with the rules in force in the fac­ tory, caused him to be dismissed, says the Harvard Herald. A committee from the union waited on the superin­ tendent and asked for his re-instate- ment, inferring that a strike might be started if their wishes were not re­ spected. The superintendent felt that, inasmuch as the factory paid its oper­ atives good wages, it was impertinent to take Such an arbitrary stand and rather than be dictated to it was decid­ ed to cloee the factory for an indefinite period, and as a result nearly 400 people were thrown out of employment. The factory resumed work Thursday morn­ ing and we understand that none of the men instrumental in the attempted strike will be employed. Banket Soelal. Members of St. Patrick's Court No. 746, C. O.

It {tie Women's Session ot the Farmers' Institute "Domestic Science" it Discussed --Ladles rre Enthusiastic. The Women's session of the Farmers' Institute last Wednesday evening creat* ed no little interest among the ladies present. Mrs. D. F. Hanly acted as president of the meeting and proved herself to be a capable officer. We promised to publish in full this week Mrs. Buckland's paper On "The Sunny Side of Farm Life," but have been unable to secure the manuscript. It will be published later, however. Mrs. Buckland is an intelligent and graceful writer and beautifully depict­ ed the happiness-to be derived by peo­ ple who live on a fr^nu. Mrs. D. Noble King, in her paper on Domestic Science in the Public Schools," pointed out the necessity of giving the boys and girls a more prac­ tical education. An education that will be of service to them in the kitch en, on the farm and in the workshop. Domestic Science in a General Way" by Mrs. H. M. Dnnlap, of Savoy, I1L, was the paper that stirred the ladies to action. Mrs. Dunlap is an enthusiast in the good cause and her words carried weight with them. It is a well known and deplorable faot that too many of our young girls ate growing up with no knowledge of the art of cooking, and it is the object of the domestic science ad yocates to teach the girls (and the house­ wife, too) scientific cooking. After the meeting at the hall Wednes­ day evening the ladies present persuad­ ed Mrs. Dnnlap to give them another talk at the hall the next morning There were about thirty-five present and after listening to words of advice from the speaker the ladies organized a Domestic Science Club then and there with the following officers: Mrs. Em ma Phillips, president; Mrs. John I. Story, vice president; Mrs. J. D. Smith, secretary and treasurer. The first meeting of the club wilt be held in the rooms of the McHenry Pleasure Club on Tuesday afternoon, January 27, at two o'clock. It is desired that every family in the township lie represented in this meet­ ing to assist in putting the organization on a firm basis. If the mother cannot attend she would be wise in sending her daughter. If for nothing else, attend the first meeting ont of curiosty. The promoters will see that you become in teres ted. Remember the invitation is extended to eyery family in the town ship. Those Statements. This week we Bend out statements of subscription accounts thit foot up to over $1,000, and the accounts ran from $1.50 to $6.00. Small amount for each individual, but the aggregate is quite a load for us .to carry. Don't you honest­ ly think soY It has always been the custom of the present management to collect advertising accounts every three months and job accounts the first of each month. Hereafter statements of subscription accounts will be sent out the first of each year. People should not feel offended or insulted when re­ ceiving a statement from the printer. It is the only way to do business and there is no reason why a newspaper should not be conducted on business principles. Appealed the Case. Some time ago Ben Roeengarten se­ cured a judgment against Joe. Stilling in Justice Mead's court as the oulcomc of a horse trade, the facts of which were given in this paper at the time. Rosen- garten bought a horse of Stilling, the horse died, the purchaser then claimed that he was not of age and wanted his money back. It was simply a question of a point in law and he got the judg­ ment, of course. Now Mr Stilling claims that he has discovered a few things since the first trial and has ap­ pealed the case, leaving his side of the controversy in the hands of C. P. Barnes. M. W. A. Headj uotment Meeting. A good speaker has been promised us for the evening of January 28, 1903, whoee duty it will be to explain the pro­ posed plans and options relative to the readjustment agitation now going on in the various M. W. A. camps. All neighbors are most cordially invited to meet with us and obtain all the light that this seemingly dark and obscure subject can be made to yield. Fraternally Yours, PHIL. S. HARRISON, <Clerk Ringwood Camp, No. 597 Little One l>les. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. VanNatta died on Wednesday at their home, the Mary E. Slocum farm on the Flats, where he had been tenderly nursed and treated as far as possible for nearly two months. The loss is a heavy one for the parents who have the sympathy of all our people. The fun­ eral was held at the home Saturday at 11 o'clock and burial at Woodland oem- etery, McHenry.--Wauconda Leader. New Game Law. A new amendment to the game law, with a provision forbidding the sale of any kind of game killed in Illinois, will be introduced and urged for passage by the sportsmen's association, of the state. It is designed to stop the whole­ sale slanghter of game, particularly duoks, for the city market EXCHANCE CLEANINGS. That Judge Donnelly has made Me* ttenry county h competent, fair and im­ partial judge, whose decisions have been respected by higher courts, we be­ lieve there is no question among the people of McHenry county, says the Harvard Herald. That he has made a record while on the bench of transact­ ing a large volume of business, we also believe no one will question, not even the Lawyers' Trust, for the court rec­ ords show during his incumbency on the bench the following: Cases on docket September, 18OT, Common Law .......vviviVi-iS*.....JR4 Chancery. j; .. *. Criminal *V...... .85 Total.. ...861 The docket was practically oleATed up in two yearo, and the total number of cases disposed of since September, 1897, follow: Common Law .5T8 Chancery .480 Criminal. 178 Total 1,286 The records also show that the num­ ber of cases appealed to the appellate and supreme courts from Judge Donnel­ ly were 10, and 6 of these were affirmed; 2 were reversed and two are yet unde­ cided. From Judge Fuller 8 cases were appealed to higher courts, 5 of which were affirmed and 8 were. reversed. From Judge Garver 2 were appealed, 1 of which was affirmed and 1 reversed. These are facts from the records that cannot be disputed nor denied. They stand out as showing that Judge Don­ nelly's decisions are upheld by our high­ er courtB.

Complete obituary appears in the Ringwood column. An Old Landmark. The old building on the east ride, for­ merly used by E. Perkins as a wagon shop, is being razed this week and will soon be but a memory as a landmark of the McHenry of thirty years ago. The building was put up about ten years after the close of the war and was oc­ cupied by Mr. Perkins until failing health compelled him to lay aside his tools some years ago. Mr. Perkins may eventually erect a oottage on the lot thus vacated, bnt has no definite plans at present The Masonic Installation. In mentioning the installation last week we stated that John L Story acted as installing officer, but have since been informed of our mistake. Mr. Story acted as mars hall, while Pastmaster Geo. H. Hanly performed the duties of installing officer. The latter gentle­ man had given the part careful study and is deserving of high praise for his efficient work. The error was not made intentionally and we trust that Mr. Hanly and the Masonic Lodge wUl ac­ cept our humble apologies. Mining Stock for Sale.
