SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN. McHenry Public School Opened Monday • ' : -- Onr public school opened Monday morning with a fairly good attendance, but we are sorry to say there are still a, number of children of school age seen roaming about the streets. The parents of these children have been given suf­ ficient warning and if they still insist on giving their children that privilege they know what they will have to ex­ pect as the result in years to come. The teachers of the various rooms have started this season with the idea of taking it one of the most successful in the history of the school and with the co-operation of the entire community this can arid will be done. The German school also opened Mon­ day morning with a good attendance. Bremian--Sternberg. At St. Patrick's church in this vil­ lage on Monday, Angust 29, occnrred the carriage of Dr. Dennis F.

Hampshire and Hnntley base ball en­ thusiasts celebrated the second game of the season between their respective tfeams Sunday, with a free-for-all mix- up in which several of the Hnntley city officials, several of the ball players and a score of the enthusiasts retired with battered heads and dimolored counts Fire# completely destroyed the barn on the Smith farm, occupied by Will Schroeder, just south of Holcombville schoolhouse, in Nunda township, about 8 o'clock Wednesday evening. When discovered the building was well ablaze and efforts to save it were fruitless. The barn and the granary, with all the hay and grain, including 766 bushels of oats just threshed, bay' and oat straw, also some machinery, was completely destroyed. The live ^ock was saved. The wind favoring, the bouse, windmill and corn crib were saved, although all the furniture was removed from the houBe. Neighbors worked manfully to save all the property possible. The re­ flection of the fire on the sky could be seen plainly in McHenry and Ridge- field and many droye to the scene. The barn was built over twenty yean ago by Fran* Doran, but the farm is at present owned by C. Smith of Chicago, Will Schroeder being the tenant. The cause of the fire is unknown, but is at­ tributed to spontaneous combustion. The loss is estimated at ft.S00, while the insurance was $750. * H11 ntley'h Mayor In Uaite Ball Blotr " Mayor Donovan <and. City Marshal Martin of Huntley were beaten into in­ sensibility Sunday at a ball game in that city. They were attempting to stop a riot in which members of both teams were taking a prominent part. The troubl'e started when the city mar­ shal started to force the crowd behind the ropes. There is considerable rival­ ry between Hampshire and Huntley and when the two teams went on the diamond the contest waxed hot. City' Marshal Martin's attempt to push the crowd back was taken as an insult by the Hampshire fellows and when Mar­ tin forced B. H. Brit ton, the Hampshiie team'B manager, behind the roped, the visitors decided that the limit had been reached. The officer went down from a vicious blow on the jaw and his body was trampled on and kicked. Mayor | an every evening. Donovan and a number of officers rushed to the assistance of Martin, but were overpowered. The mayor was struck on top of the head with a brick and fell insensible.

Adelbert Thomas, the Nunda liveryman, sued Harry Compton, Louis Peterson, William Hnbbert and William Clark, Jr., for the death of a horse over a year ago. Compton hired a rig from Thomas and drove to Crys­ tal Lake with some friends in the vehi­ cle. On the retnrn trip, it being dark, his horse ran into a horse driven by Peterson. The horse staggered a few feet and fell dead. The Peterson horse had the thills of the buggy run into its breast and died later from' the loss of blood. Justice J.ones rendered judg' inent against Peterson for $140, it being sho wn that he was driving on the left side of the road at the time. An appeal may be takejK--Woodstock Sentinel. The Libertyville Trotting association is hurrying to completion the various buildings at its new grounds and there is not a doubt but all will bs in readi ness for the first meeting, September 12 to 16.

Out­ side walls' of this structure are being finished with stucco, which gives a sub­ stantial and artistic np'pearance to the building. Besides the three large win­ ter barns which are finished the 200 box stalls along east border of the grounds are nearly completed, so there will be plenty of stall room for all the horses that may come to the opening meeting. The steel tower on which will rest a 45,000 gallon tank is up and well drill­ ers have bored some 75 ftet for water, but as yet have failed to get sufficient, tho no doubt they will within a day or two.

The season has been one of the busi­ est ever known in this vicinity, espec ially at the Bay. That this resort is becoming more popular each year is clearly shown by the many improve­ ments made there during the past two years. A number of new cottages have been built during the past season and the prospects now are that the building will continue. The occupants of the cottages at the Bay and all along the river are ever making improvements on their grounds and buildings and are bound to make this region a famous resort The hotels at the lakes and along the river have done a good business, consid­ ering the late opening.
