Among the decisions handed down by the appellate court at Ottawa Wednes­ day was one in the Cormack vs Mar­ shall case about which there hM been much in print, says the Elgin Advocate. The decision in the lower court was against Cormack the minister who kid­ napped his son and fled from the state with him. Mr. Cormack and his boy have been sojourning at Appleton, Wis., while the appeal has been pending. The decision reverses the verdict of the lower court and Cormack and his son can return from exile. The action of the appellate court is a trig triumph' for A. D. Early, attorney for Cormack as in** taking up the case and securing the decision he established a precedent in habeas corpus cases which changed the practice in vogtae for sixty years.

Every person who ex­ pects to teach in McHenry county dur­ ing the year 1905-06 is due at the insti­ tute eyery day unless specifically ex­ cused by the county superintendent. The central idea is to take up a separate school subject each day, thus having an opportunity to discuss the broader aspect along with the details. This plan allows us to take up on successive days the following subjects. Monday-- Geography, Tuesday--History, Wednes­ day--Occupations, Thursday--Litera­ ture and reading, Friday--The School and Society. The work in the section meetings for each day has been planned with reference to the points of greater difficulty, and an effort has been made to select as leaders in the discussions persons whose experience gives them a right to speak. The work in music has been planned with reference to the idea of having a minimum of singing done in each school in McHenry county next year. Miss Salisbury will also give special time during the week to songs for the primary, intermediate, grammar, and country schools, on Mon­ day, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs­ day at 8.06.

Belvidere Republican: If Senator Hopkins is able to carry out the plan he has in mind, sportsmen along Fox river will soon be able to entice fish from its waters in large numbers, M WM the case in days of yore. The Senator is thinking of preparing a bill to be pre­ sented in congress for the establishment of a branch of the national fish factory to be located near Aurora in charge of a government expert. This would soon replenish the river with good fish and Fox river would enjoy the reputation it once had among anglers. Harvard Herald: The postoffice de­ partment has started after the vulgar picture postal cards with which tbe country is flooded. One so-called sou­ venir postal cards bearing pictures which are highly indecent, and it is possible that many of these are sent through the mails. But inasmuch as the postoffice department undertakes to keep the mails free from that which is slanderous or grossly offensive, the line must be drawn somewhere, and many of these souvenir postal cards will be consigned to the waste basket of the cbief clerk of the dead letter office. Because there WM a failure at Wash­ ington on the part of some of the postal employees to mail the orders declaring July 4th a holiday for rural carriers, forcing the country delivery men to work when the rest of the nation cele­ brated, a general order hM been issued from the postoffice department making New Year's day, Washington's birth­ day anniversary, Memorial day, July 4 th, Labor day, holidays for the rural carriers. Formerly each of these days the men were allowed to be off by speci­ al orders. Christmas was not named M a holiday, the bustMSs of the potfftoflloe department being the largest at tills time of any in the year. Si - v • MAKE PREPARATIONS To Attend the Great McHenry Ceonty Fair. A fact significant of tiw feneral in­ terest that is being taken in the com­ ing McHenry County fair is the num­ erous calls for the premium list that are coming in from the Atlantic coast to the foot hills of the Rocky moun­ tains. It seems to be unprecidented. This is oncnnraginr gg i« also > knowl­ edge that the fair gives promise of more than meeting the moet sanguine expectations of its friends and patrons. The work of providing interesting amusements for the crowds aft the fair goes right Along, the secretary, George A. Hunt, working unceasingly at the problem, and it is safe to give him a vote of thanks in advance, for he ts solving it in a most happy manner. The latest attractions to be added to the program are five automobile events which take place Wednesday, Aug. 80, the third day of the fair. The arrange­ ments for these events were made by a committee from the MoHenry County Automobile club which met and con­ ferred with the' board of directors for the express purpose of making this feature possible. There will be a parade of the -club, a 5-mile raoe for Bingle cylinder oars, a 5-mile race for two-cylinder cars, and a 8-mile raoe for touring cars carrying four or more people. The cars in this raoe are to line up at starting point, with engines dead, each driver being required to start his engine by cranking after the signal is given to start, and the cars to stop and unload all passengers, in­ cluding the driver, At the end of the first and second mile. The first car crossing the tape at the -completion of the third mile will be declared the winner. The fifth rttee will be a 5-mile race between foreign and domestic cars, the car winning two out of three heats to be declared the winner. Another interesting feature hM been arranged for, and it Is something unique in fair attraction This is the athletic field events, which will be on the program and take place Friday afternoon, Sept. 1. This attractive amusement will con­ sist of two numbers--a 220-yard dash, and a half-mile relay race. The 220-yard dash will be a free-for- all, and first, second and third prises will be offered as follow*: Gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal. The half-mile relay raoe will be par­ ticipated in by teams of four runners each. As |his will be a oontest be­ tween townships, the runners on each team must be residents of the same township and each township will be restricted to one team. Each member of the winning team will receive • life membership to the McHenry County Agricultural board. E. R. Hoy of Woodstock is the super­ intendent of the athletic field events, and any who are interested in the mat­ ter or who may wish to enter the con­ tests should write him in regard to the same. It should not be forgotten that Tues­ day will be children's day. Among the attractions of that day will be the owner's race and the pony race, which are not among the least of the things interesting and amusing that will be seen at this fair.
