Ite mi Clipped from The IMHlntfealer of April 2J® I88O. Miss- Etta Beers, Miss Jennie and Mollie Searles and Miss Effie Curtis, have all been having a tussle with the measles. Among the marriage licences issued ih Chicago on Monday last we notice one to Wm. Fox of DeKalb, 111., and Miss Hattie L. Tilton of McHenry, 111. We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Waite & Eldredge, of the east side meat market, which can be found in another column. At the election on Saturday last, for one school director, C. B. Curtis was elected as his own successor. The board now stands, C. C. Colby,' C. B. Curtis and A. H. Hanley. . John I. Story has purchased the Han- kins residence, on the south side of the park, and is fitting the same up prepar­ atory to moving in. It will make him a handsome place. The building on Main street^formerly used by Smith Bros, as a wool house, is to be moved on to the street in. the rear of the Plaindealer office and fitted up as a dwelling. It will make a confortable place for a small family. The new boiler for the steamboat ar­ rived on Satuiday, and is being put in position as fast as possible, while work­ men are busy finishing up the cabin and putting her in shape generally. It is expected that she will be ready to make a trip the last of the week. The Central market has changed hands, R. Waite being succeeded by Smith & Walsh. Waite has formed a partnership with C. T. Eldredge and leased the old Fisher market, which they are fitting up in fine shape.^ We now have three meat markets in this village, and we can see no good cause why any should go without this neces­ sary article of food, especially if he has the necessary shekels. The election in this village on Tues­ day last was the tamest affair of the kind ever known since the village was incorporated. In, the morning there $[ere three tickets put into the field, but with the exception of three or four in­ terested individuals, no one seemed to care what the results might be, conse­ quently but one hundred and nine votes were polled, only about half the vote of the corporation. The result was the election of the following: For trustees, Richard Bishdp, H. M. McOmber, Geo Rothermel, Jos. Fitzsimmons, John Sut­ ton, Wm. Schreiner; clerk, H. H. Nich­ ols; police magistrate, C.

"Mothers buy it for croupy children, railroad men buy it for severe coughs and elderly people buy it for la grippe," says Moore Bros., Eldon, Iowa. '.'We tell more of Chamberlain's Cough Rem­ edy than any other kind. It seems to have taken the lead over several other good brands. " There is no question but this medicine is the best that can be procured for ooughs and colds, whether it be a child or an adult that is afflicted'. It always cures and cores quickly.

Early Monday morning, April 17, there passed away one of McHenry county's first, as well as Oldest settlers, Mr. Jacob Story. Jacob Story was born on December 25, 1814, in Fairfax county, Vermont, being the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Story, natives of Vermont. He was brought Tip to farming and was given such education as was obtainable in the district schools near his home. In the spring of 1837 he Went to Massachu­ setts, and was employed on a farm near Boston for six months, until he came to Illinois. He journeyed by rail and steamer to New York City and by steam­ er upthe Hudson river to Albany, from Albany to Buffalo by a canal packet, and from Buffalo to Detroit by a steam­ er. From Detroit he and two other young men walked to Lake Michigan, and came t^o" Chicago by the last boat of the season, arriving about December 1, 1837. Chicago was then nothing but a big village, claiming 5,000 inhabitants, with its business centered on South Water street. From Chicago to McHen ry, where he arrived December 10. Mr. Story walked by way of Elgin and the Fox River road to Dundee, stopping at nearly every log cabin he saw and in­ specting the country closely. That winter he lived at Brown's Log-Cabin Tavern, then kept by Gideon Colby. He found employment at farm work and made a claim :>n forty acres of timber land, across the river, two miles south of McHenry. This he bought at a land sale, improved it and put it under culti­ vation, and later, he bought eighty acres one mile south, of it. On November 22, 1844, he marred Mary Ann Colby, who was born Nov. 15, 1828, and died March 28, 1848. He set up housekeeping in a log house with a shingle roof, on his eighty acre tract, ten acres of which had by that time been ferksed and plowed. For eight years after the death of his wife Mr. Story and his children lived with Mr. Ira Colby, his father in law. In 1853 he entered upon a mercantile career at Mc­ Henry, in the front part of the store now occupied by his daughter as a drug store, which was built by Robert Mat­ thews. He gradually dropped other lines of trade, and was, for many years, one of the leading hardware merchants in" this part of the country. He has speculated to some extent in western lands, having bought a half section of Iowa prarte laikl at Govern­ ment price, which he sold to advantage, and afterwards purchased a section in Brooks county, Kan., which still belongs to the estate. His judgment an busi­ ness was excellent, and he*>was especially well-informed concerning real estate values, and was, for that reason, during his two years' incumbency'of the office, one of the best assessors his township ever had. Early in life he was a Whig and he voted the Republican ticket in Lincoln's time: later, he became inde­ pendent in politics and voted for Cleve­ land, and afterward became a Prohibi­ tionist. His fellow citizens accord ,00 him the respect due to an honest man, and the peculiar regard which attaches to ths pioneer, for his residence in the county dates back sixty-eight years, to within thtee years of the location of the first settler, Samuel Gillian, in Algon­ quin township, November 18, 1834. Mr. Story had two children, Julia A., born July 15, 1845, and John F., born Mav 1 1847, nine days before, his moth death. Miss Julia A. Smry was gradu ated at Rockford college in IHfitt; Hnd taught school two years and a h.tJf in Missouri She4 was later graduated from the Illinois School of Pharmacy. Chicago, and is Winning success as a druggist at McHenry. Mr. Story was a member of t.h« Mc­ Henry I O O. F. as long as it was in existence While he was not a member of any church he had great respect for all this mother of all Christian institu­ tions holds claim to, as has been fchowir throughout his life'in his dealings with his fellow men. In this respect he closely adhered to the yolden rule, the true test of all Christian life. Truly a beloved father and respected citizen has gone from our midst, whose life like the rays of the sun at evening will continue to reflect the light long after his body has dropped to <fest behind his mother earth. The funeral services werfe held Wed­ nesday morning at 10:30 from his late home. The services were conducted by Rev. A. Roberts of the Universalist church. A large concourse of mourn­ ing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place, Woodland cemetery. (JniverHxlist Church. Rev. A. Robert^ pastor.

Although it was a complete surprise to the victim, Miss Wheeler proved herself equal to the occasion by entertaining her guests in a i;ight royal manner. The young people^were out for a good time and frqm all reports they we're not disappointed in the least, expressing themselves as having spent a most delightful evening. The evening passed away all too soon, games of all kinds, with music and the Usual amount of merriment, being the evening's pro­ gram. At an appropriate hour the com­ pany was ushered into the dining room where a luncheon to the queen's taste was awaiting them • .

Work on the milk bottling plant-at Spring Grove is progessing rapidly. The structure will be 40 x 76 fept. It is reported that on the Tfeadup farm in Plato there is already corn at a height of five inches and cherry trees in full blossom, something very unusual this early in the season. Milk News: Illinois is number 5 in the list of states, showing the number of milch dows to be 995,429. The other states with a greater number, in their order, are: New York, Iowa, Wiscon­ sin and Pennsylvania,"each having over one million. And this ife the conclusion the Cres­ cent man, in Appleton, Wis., has come to: Many a man goes forth in the even­ ing and spends enough to buy his wife a sealskin jacket, yet when he awakens the next morning he has nothing to sbbw for it save fur on his tongue'. The Warren Instrument Manufactur­ ing company are considering the advis­ ability of moving their plant to Wood­ stock. The Business Men 's club at the county sent are working hard to induce the factory to locate in their city and the prospects look bright that the move will be made. Wauconda Leader: A party of survey­ ors will start at Palatine Friday and run north-west through' this place on to Mc­ Henry, after which work will soon be­ gin at the city end of the line. It is also reported that surveyors are at work on the C. <fc M. E. R. R. route, but we have no knowledge of its being the case. Nunda Herald: The Bowman Dairy company contracted with the farmers for milk for the summer at its plant at Nunda, last Monday, bargaining for -40,000 pounds daily, wjiich is the larg­ est qftantity they have taken since the factory.wafi built.

It is a model of neatness and durability, and reflects great credit upon its build­ ers, Mr. Larson and son. This boat is 37 feet in length and 8 feet in beam and a party of 30 will be invited to witness the launching and take a trial trip, which will be to McHenry and back. Woodstock Sentinel: A crew of men UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT \VH1 Be Repeated Saturday Evening, April 89. The Physical Culture entertainment which was presented by the Universalist Sunday school pupils at the Central opera house aliout a month ago, will be repetead at the same place on Saturday evening, April-29. All who attended the entertainment were «o greatly pleased and profited thereby that a general urgent request to repeat it was the encouraging result. Believing that the people of McHenry and vicinity know a good thing when they see it, it has been thought proper to give the same program with improve­ ments and added features. Hence this announcement. The program will con­ sist of music, readings, physical culture excercises and a "Tom Thumb Wed ­ ding." All numbers are being improved and interesting touches being added. The musical part is receiving special preparations for the occasion. The male quartette is on for its share of the numbers in the music. Indian club swinging will be added to by new move­ ments. The "Tom Thumb Wedding" by the little folks in conventinal costumes, the hit of the evening on March 31, will have the interesting feature of a feast added. In short, the whole pro­ gram will be better than before and a large house is expected. Tickets for sale at all drug stores. SCHOOL ELECTION. / Wm. Bonslett and W. D. Wentworth are Elected Trustee*. There being but one ticket in the field the school" election that was held last Friday proved a very tame affair, and a very li^ht vote was polled, James B. Perry, who has so credit­ ably tilled the position of president of the board for the past several years, was again re-elected to that position. The two new members elected to fill the va­ cancies are Win. Bonslett and W. D. Wentworth. The two gentlemen who caused the vacancies are C. D. Schoon- niaker, who has moved away, and T. J. Walsh, who is about to leave McHenry. The work of the school board in the past few years has been highly satisfac­ tory, and the -new members who step in will undoubtedly work together with the other members and keep up the good work.
