The largest fresh water pearl on rec- K ord was found at Genoa Jc. by a 17-year old son of Willis Hastings last week. It weighs 185 grains and is pure white, measuring 15-16 of an inch in diameter. Frank Hastings, the boy, found it in a mussel shell while in a boat fishing. John H. Peabock, j» local dealer, bought it as it came from the shell for $2,675. .It was incased in an irregular shell-like substance, which, when removed, dis­ closed a beautiful white pearl. Its real value is said to be many times the price paid for it. Sentinel: The 18-year old daughter W. C. Kinney, near Greenwood, had a -- frightful accident Monday aftetnoon. J}uring a runaway of a team attached to a mowing machine which .she was piding, she was hurled on a cog and a gash cfit in the abdomen which almost disembowled her. The young lady was driving the team and mowingJiay when the horses became frightened and ran into a ditch. She was hurled on top a large cog wheel and before assistance could be given her abdomen was ripped .open clear across the body. She lies in a very precarious condition. Libertyville Independent: Rumor has it two more saloons are to be started in Libertyville and in the heart of the bus­ iness center. Six saloons will mean of necessity, additional police force or at least a marshal and street commissioner, instead of two offices being combined as now. It seems to the Iedependent there are plenty of saloons hpre without two additional, and while it may be, as claimed, compulsovy for tne board to ; grant the licenses if asked, all conditions Ij* . ^ being complied with, yet Libertyville ' • t-'-i* Las no need, considered from any stand­ point, for more saloons.

The McHenry County Fair is a opunty institution; it was established in the in­ terest of agriculture, ^live stock, dairy husbandry and the varied industries of the county and for the benefit of all the people. There is not a hom«, farm, factory or commercial enterprise in the: county that is not benefited either directly or indirectly thereby. This fair with its comprehensive exhibits will evidence the superiority of our advantages and opportunities. It will stimulate a spirit of improvement in forming methods and encourage further development of the resources of the county. The advantages of the county fair will extend to every township in the county, but the greatest profits accruing therefrom will be secured to those townships or localities which partici­ pate most actively in the annual exhibi­ tions with. extensive displays of their products. The premium list haa been revised and the prizes in nearly all departments largely increased; three new depart­ ments have been added, namely: Dairy, education and a youth's department in farm products. A unique program is being prepared consisting of special educational at­ tractions and amusements such as a re­ production of the county state fair ex­ hibit, special artistic designs in butter, ffutomobile and semi-centenial parades and other attractions in front of the grand stand. An extra effort is being put forth to make every day a big day. Special en­ tertainment will be furnished for the children as well as older people on Wed­ nesday (children's day) and. no stone will be left unturned to make the Gol­ den Jubilee Celebration the greatest in point of exhibits, attraction, attendance and interest of all the fairs.ever held under the auspices of the McHenry County Agricultural board. Progress is the watchword of the Mc- Henr^ County Fair. Superintendents of all departments will do everything in their power to raise the standard of ex­ hibits in the several departments and every attention will be paid to the com­ fort and convenience of exhibitors and visitors by members of the agricultural board. The fair belongs to the people of Mc­ Henry county and every citizen is in­ vited to become a member of the board, to have a voice in its management and assist in shaping its destinies. Let us lay aside all prejudioe, all -skepticism and unfavorable comment and all join hands in the effort to build up a fair which shall be worthy of this county and a source of pride and grati fication to ita people.

The supreme court of Illinois has re­ cently decided that retired farmers and others must assess their personal prop­ erty in the townships in which they vote. The question was raised by the practice of a number of farmers in the cities in the northern part of the state, who kept one or more horses and other domestic animals, and becanse the rate of taxation was higher in the city would have their property listed for the town where their farm Was located, If a farmer does this, he mast hold hiB citi­ zenship oil the farm and go to the town where it is located to vote. This takes from him the rights of a citizen where he resides and also his school privileges. - -McHenry Co.

Illumination 8atnrday Night a Beautiful Spectacle. Wltneosed by Thousands- Many Boats In Parade. Miss Belle Scrwe of Fondn Lac, Wis., and Miss Adaline Sayer, of Minneapolis, Minn.. are guests of iffr? and Mrs. G. J. Sayer at Rose Lodge. Buch's hotel near the river bridge and the annex have been taxed to their full capacity the past week, while Jos. Heimer, proprietor of the McHenry hocse has experienced the 4ftme condi­ tions . The Rosedale Pleasure Club of which Aug. Larson is manager, has been doing a thriving business the past week. The cottagers at the International Village have been enjoying their beauti­ ful summer homes with full apprecia­ tion during the hot days just passed. There is not a cottage vacant at How­ ell's beautiful place on the river and many guests have been entertained there during the past few weeks. In the evening the groye surrounding the cottages is lighted lip and presents a pretty scene from the river. At Cottage Grove and German Vil­ lage tne residents have 'settled down to enjoy their good fortune. The bevy of girls who are enjoying an touting at Miss Julia A. Story's cottage are heard from occasionally and if re­ ports are trne things are not slow about that camp. They entertain friends from McHenry and Woodstock at times and last Saturday night they had a full house owing to conditions related in an­ other column. 1 ^ Venetian night at tha Bay will long be remembered by witnesses. The ill­ umination and decorations with Oriental lanterns and colored lights presented a most beautiful picture, &nd no words describe it. The entire shore line was a solid mass of lights, beautifully ar­ ranged in front of each resident's cot­ tage. Some of the private decorations were exceptionally pretty and deserving of especial mention. Thousands of lan­ terns and torches were used and fire­ works were seen on every hand. The boat parade was another attractive Eight and elicited the applause of every­ one. Much time and not a little money was spent in making the decorations. The line of illuminated boats stretched out nearly a mile. S. S. Chapell apd wife took a party of friends i»p the river to the lakes in a launch and as they rounded the islands and entered the Bay, shortly after eigbt o'clock, the pic­ ture that met their eyes took them back to the court of honor at the Worlds Fair of 1893. AH the party ascended the river it was noticeable that all the cot­ tages at Rosedale, Howell's, Cottage Grove, and German Village were bril­ liantly lighted. It was indeed a pleas­ ant trip. / The first trial race of the Pistakee Yacht Club to select boats to represent the club at the Inland Lake Yacht Asso­ ciation's regatta at Oehkosh, Wis., Au­ gust 24-29, was run last Friday over a triangular course, with a light east wind, Harriet H, Martin Hertz, captain, came in first with Mavis about five min­ utes in the rear. Pats, Wm- Lorimer's boat, was third. Harriet H has met with bad lnck in nearly every race this season, but always manages to be there at the finish. In this race she came in with a broken jib halyard. The boats started at 6:13 and finished as follows: Harriet H. 6:43:85; Mavis, 6:47:35; Pats, 6:48:13. Mr. and Mrs. John Scherman cele­ brated their tenth wedding anniversary last Sunday at their pretty summer home on the river, Several guests from Chicago and el sphere were present to enjoy the event. WEDDING BELLS. WIRELES8 MESSAGE. First One Is Received from Atlantic by an Elgin Woman. Mrs. James M. Fletcher, wife of the member of the firm of Dunham, Eletch- er & Coleman, says the Elgin News, re­ ceived the first wireless message which has ever been transmitted to Elgin. Before her hnsband had arrived in the harbor of New York she had read a tel­ egram which announced his where­ abouts on the ocean and the schedule time at which he would reach the .har­ bor. Bfr. JTletcher left Europe several days ago with about one hundred horses, which he will bring to the stock farm for breeding purposes. While 800 miles distant from the harbor he used the Marconi system of telegraphy to send a message to his wife to announee his saf­ ety. , Beunlon of Cousins. Mr. and Mrs. D. F.

Both the contracting parties are well known in this vicinity. The bride is a daughter of John Miller, who resides on Uonrt street, just south of the Searles place. The many friends will be pleased to offer best wishes. MARRIED IN CHICAGO. Fredrick E. Bojjcr and Miss Katie Schaf- fer are made One. At two o'clock Thursday afternoon, July 88, in Chicago, Mr. Fredrick E. Boger and Miss Katie Schaffer took the* nuptial vows, Rev. Father McWire of­ ficiating. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schaffer of this place and is well known by McHenry people having resided here nearly all her life. Mr. and Mrs. Boger will reside in Chicago for the present The Plftindealer extends congratula- tiona . A Woademu Air City. Many stories have been written about mirages and delusions, but none has been more interesting and curious than that of the Silent City mirage which makes its appearance near the Pacific glacier In Alaska. The discovery of this wonderful mirage was made by the In­ dians, who would tell of the city which was built in the clouds. The mirage can be seen in the early part of July from 5 to 6 p. m. It rises from the side of the Pacific glacier. It first appears like a heavy mist and soon becomes clearer, and one can distinctly see the specter city, well defined streets and trees, tall spires and huge and odd shap­ ed buildings which appear to be an­ cient mosques or cathedrals. It is a city which would seem to contain at least 25,000 or 30,000 inhabitants. As yet no one has been able to iden­ tify it, although several have claimed to recognize the place. There is no city like it in Alaska, nor in any country about it for thousands of miles. Some claim it is a city in ltussia, others say it is a city in England, but none can tell where and what it is. The mirage was given the name of Silent City, as it appears to one lifce a dead city. There Is nothing that would Indicate that it Is Inhabited. Good Breeding. The most potent factor of good breed­ ing, the prime element, the first prin­ ciple, is nothing more or less than a condensation of the Golden Rule--un­ selfishness, kindness of heart. Nothing else can ever gain superiority over this great and noble trait of character, and without this no person can possess real refinement, perfect dignity and truly good breeding. Nothing can supply its loss, and nothing can buy its posses­ sion. Unselfishness is Inherent, innate and lnborp. It is a mysterious some­ thing that cannot well be defined and yet may be found in the poorest and humblest as well as in the loftiest and noblest of all God's creatures. Good bpeeding is plainly a matter of Instinct, an inborn possession that is one of the greatest of treasures. Many possess it, but a great many more full to attain it through lack of the nec< *• sary qualities essential to Its acquisi­ tion.--Memphis Commercial Appeal. A Foible of the Great Rachel* "Look at the presents Rachel, the great actress, made to every one," say the panegyrists. They forget to men­ tion that an hour afterward she regret­ ted her generosity, and from that mo­ ment she never left off scheming how to get the thing back. Every one knew this. Benuvallet, to whom she gave a magnificent sword one day, instead of thanking her said: "I'll have a chain put to it, mademoiselle, so as to fasten it to the wall of my dressing room. In that way I shall be sure that it will not disappear during my absence." Alexandre Dumas the younger, {o whom she made a present of a ring, bowed low and placed it back on het finger at once. "Allow me to present it to you in my turn, mademoiselle, so as to prevent you asking for it." She '£1<^ not say nqy, but carried thp piatteT tyith ohe' of her fascinating Englishman {n Paris," 9aope4 Teeth, Teeth of all kinds have been wor­ shiped and are, in fact, venerated as relics in some religious shrines. Bud­ dha's tooth is preserved in an Indian temple, the Cingalese worship the tooth of a monkey, while the elephant's and shark's teeth serve a similar purpose among the Malabar and Tcm^trlslanlt1- ers respectively. The Skfmese were formerly the possessors of the tooth of a sacred monkey, which they valued very highly, but In a war with the Portuguese they lost the holy grinder and had to pay $3,500,000 to get It back- again. It is now kept in a small gold box, inclosed in six other boxes. In one of the many temples of the Siamese capital. DEATH'S RICH HARVEST MR8. GERTRUDE MAY, YEARS, DIE8.

CHICAGO'S BIG FETE. Centennial Celebrating the Permanent Settlement of the City. Chicago's Centennial* Jubilee, to be given this fall, is beginning to attract attention throughout the Western States From September 36 to October 1, the city will be the scene of a series of muni­ cipal fetes such as have been equaled only in the days of the Romans. Two of the most popular features on the program will be the military parade for President Roosevelt, and a vivid re­ production of the burning of Chicago. The parade will include United States troops from the forts of the West, the state militia, crack regiments from dif­ ferent parts of the conntry, and other uniformed organizations. In the mimic conflagration, five hun­ dred tonB of ftyman fire will be ignited simultaneously on the tops of the taller buildings within the area burned by the great fire of 1871. The skyscrapers will be especial vantage grounds for the dis­ play, and from the BeKoyen street of the famous Mrs. O'Leary, where the great-fire started, there will be a big flight of bombs. In one of the parks there will be a re­ production of Fort Dearborn, built in 1808. This> was the first white man's building in the city, and it is to com­ memorate its construction that the Jubilee is held. Four hundred Indians, descendants of the tribes that once lived in Chicago, will hold camp about the fort and will make a daily attact on it. The structure also will be the scene of a reunion of the scattered pioneers of the city. An industrial parade at night, brill iantly illuminiated and containing many handsome floats, will be another spec­ tacle. There also will be superb fire works, automobile races, swimming races and water polo contests in which the participants will be the famous athletes of the country, yachting races in whioh the crack boats of the lakes will fight for valuable cups, and many other open-aii* events to which all Chi­ cago and surrounding country will be bidden. The Chicago & North-Western R'y, the pioneer line west and north-west, reaches Chicago from all points west. Call upon ticket agent for full informa­ tion. ' IMPORTANT DECISION. IT WAS NO JOKE. BUklnesvllle Again Becomes an Incorpor­ ated Village. Bronchitis for Twenty Years. Mrs. Minerva Smith, of DanY^UfU JM-. writes: "J had bronchitis for twenty years'and never got relief until I used Foley's Honey and Tar, which is a sore onre." Sold by N, H. Petesch. Jfen't forget the "want y'-i, Hainesville is duly a"h incorporated village and vested with all the rights and privileges to such corporations be­ longing. Thus is a mpph cftooted ques* tion settled say§ the Waukegan Gazette. The original incorporation of Haines­ ville was many years ago, but the lack of growth finalised to the place's dig­ nity as a municipality to be disregarded and the whole affair considered a dead letter. With the advent of the new railroad things changed and the Haines- villites bestirred themselves to make the' town hum. In July 1902 an election was held to change the incorporation of the place under its old special charter to -an incorporation under the general law. Ever since the questi n has been raised that the village had no existence. This is forever settled by the receipt of tbe final certificate in the proceedings from the Secretary of State chartering the village of Hainesville. There is an important feature attend­ ing the result. The law says Ijha^ t^e county board can ^ce^s^' ^o saloons within two' oi an incorporated {own. saloons at the Round Lake resorts are within this limit of Haines­ ville and will no doubt be thus wiped out, greatly to tbe disgust and discom­ fiture of Round Lake c.tasens and fre­ quenters. The situation may lepd to a inerry tew* McHenry Tonng^ Men and Ladies leasee Team at the Bay. Last Saturday evening Chester Good­ man hitched his team to a hay rack and took a party of young men and ladies up to the Bay to view the beautiful Venetian effect, and naturally it was a jolly crowd. But when the hour ar­ rived for the homeward trip the joy changed to surprise and, then anger and discomfort, all on occount of a contempt­ ible trick on the part of persons unknown at the time. The horses and rack had been left at Stilling's barn, but when Chester went to get them at about eleven o'clock they were gone and no trace or clew to their whereabouts was left It placed the boys in a predicament and how to get the ladies home was a question none conld solve, except in walking. This a few of the girls and the boys decided to do wmle some of the former accepted tbe hospitality of the campers at Miss Story's cottage and remained at the lake until morning. When the young people who had started to walk home reached a point about one and one-half miles from Stilling's the horses and wagon were found hitched to a telephone pole, in a deplorable condition. The harness was nearly destroyed, blankets were torn and missing while the poor animals showed eyery sign of having been lashed and driven relentlessly. To say that Chester and his companions were angry is putting it mildly. Had Che jokers (?) fallon into their hands at that time there would surely have been a heap of trouble. The harness was patched up the best way possible and the party reached home safely. The next day was' Sunday and to all appearances there was nothing doing in the matter. But Constable Walsh was making some qniet inquiries, however, and found witness who had met and recognized the fellows who played the trick. Their names were secured and the next day Mr. Goodman swore out warrents for their arrest, which offioer Walsh was instructed to serve. There were three boys mixed up in the deal and when the officer appeared they realized that they were up against it. For the sake of their parents, Mr. Goodman was inclined to be lenient with the boys and let them off at ten dollars each, without serving the war­ rants. For the same reason. we do not publish their names. When the three boys (and, we are sorry to say, three girls) took the rig they probably had no intention of doing damage or causing onyone discomfiture. But, as is often the case booze and their frivolous nature got the beet of their good sense, and they turned them­ selves loose. They are sorry for the act and it is well. They will probably never be caught in a scrape of that kind again. They can also be thankful for the intervention of friends in keeping the case out of the oourts. Have, all the fun you want boys, but at all times bear in mind that there is a limit and that officers of the law in the oountry are not slow. The work of hoodlums will npl be tolerated in this neck o' woods. vA-jA/C-.'-V: " Otto Muehrke Saves a Life, In the excitement of "playing" a 1 at Nippersink Sunday afternoon two fishermen capsized their row boat, says the Libertyville Independent. When help reached them one of the men had sunk to the bottom. He owes his life to Otto Muehrke of Fox Lake, who dived and brought the unconscious man to the surface. The two fishermen were Charles Bos- en, 135 West Erie street,' and M. Albert* son, 165 East Chicago avenue. They were fishing in deep water a mile from shore Dwhen the accident occurred. Boarders in one of the hotels saw the boat go over, and the alarm was given at once. Elmer Week and John Gold- enstein, both of Chicago, were the first to reach the fishermen. Albertson was clinging to the overturned boat, but Bosen had sunk. Muehrke, who soon arrived, in a sec­ ond boat, plunged into. Uve \$tke and af* ter seyeral t̂ten^pta brought 'Bosen to (he surface. It was a half hour before he was revived. What 'the Editor Advised* AO authoress of some note In bWHay enc^' asked a famous editor to giv^ his opinion on a book which she intended to publish.

About 100 people wanted to sea a ball game last""Saturday between the Rich-'1* iri&nd "Tigers" and the McHenry team. This same 100 did see the first inning and several, endured the second inning but before the third was finished there .. were only a few spectators left on the field. The "Tigers" were not as fierce as their name would suggest. They ' eubmittedto the terrible slaughter as meekly as a lot of lambe. We will ac­ knowledge that there were two quite - small boys in the Richmond team, but there was also some older ones and taken as a whole the teams would "weigh in" about even. But the Tigers > were just simply outclassed at every point in the game. They conld not bat, catch or throw. Dick Walsh and Sam Zimmerman did the battery work for McHenry and they did it thoroughly. Sam is a good catch­ er and freezes onto the little sphere every time it comes his way. Dick ; pitched an excellent game, having the ' poor Richmonds at his mercy at every stage of tbe game. He throws a ball that comes oyer the plate like a bullet, and lets very few men walk to first. The entire McHenry team played a good game in the field and nearly every man had a bunch of hits to his credit The Richmonds could not find the ball either in the field or at the bat. They were gentlemen, however, and took their crushing defeat, with good grace, throwing up the sponge after four innings had been played, with the . score 29 to 2. The Tigers will naver again play in / McHenry until they get a reputation, but the McHenry boys are now anxious to get a swipe at Richmond's best jub4» will soon issue a challenge. %• EMERALD PARK-M'HENBY. . ^ "Again the oonquering hero comes."

Had he been in the box the Emeralds would - have been held down to fewer hits. ; "Jensen" Thurlwell pitches a good game for a lad of his weight, but he ^ does not possess the speed and control required in playing with the husky boys from the river resort In two more years he will be one of the beet Jake BUBS, who throws a ball that scorches the air as it passes over the 0 plate, pitched for the Park boys and by his wicked curves, great speed and greater blnffs frightened the McHenry . players so badly that they oould not ; have hit a flock of red barns. Jake, by all that is right, should have played tvith ' the McHenry team. We don't under­ stand in what way he is connected with Emerald Park. But then itB all right-- there's a time coming when even he .. will get touched np for a potty tmneh of hits. * The score was 8 to 4. GAME TOMORROW.
