Dundee Hawkgye: An ont-of-town shopper, while trading at the C. F. Hall Co. 's store the last of the week, was de­ tected while appropriating a piece of lace, and was followed to another store, where she gave up her plunder and beg­ ged not to be arrested. This is not the first case of shop-lifting that has occur­ red in Dundee, and the next thief may not get off as easily as have those in the past. It is reported from Elgin that men are supplanting women in the watch factory there. In 1893 the management began hiring women in the places of the men, and continued to do so for years until at the present time there are three women to one man in the institution. Now it is said that as women leave the best jobs men are put in their places, showing a decided tendency on the part of the management to go back to the old system of having men for the most of the work. In the circuit court at Vincennes Ind., the judge gave a judgement for $29 in favor of The Sun, published in that town, against the estate of a delin­ quent subscriber that was fifteen years in arrears. The defense claimed that under the law of limitations pay for six months only could be collected. The judge held to a contrary opinion and so returned the whole amount as payable. There can be little question bnt that his decision was just, for every week there was printed on the tag of the subscrib­ er's paper his correct account, and every week when taken from the postoffice or accepted it was an acknowledgement of the account and its correctness, "Girls are the sisters of lioys and has long hare, wares dresses and powder. The first girl was called Christmas Eve though I never cud see why. Most every family has one girl and some of 'em that is in hard luck has t wo or three. Vi e have a girl in onrn who is my sister. Girls can grow older and get younger. My sister has been twenty- five for three years and some day we msly be twins. Girls play pianner and talk about each other. Fat girls want to be thin, and thin girls want to be fat. And all of 'em want to marry doods. Why the Lord made girls nobody knows, f But I think it were to go to church and eat ice cream. They is three kinds of girls, brnnet girls, blond girlB and them that have money. Girls is afraid of mice and bngs, which makes it fas to put them down their baks." Woodstock Sentinel: Harder, the ringleader in the Dora robbery, and his companion. Doss, are now in the hands of the Wisconsin authorities, and have been sentenced for burglary in La Crosse. Both were under arrest for that crime when Detective Benthuysen arrived in that city and State's Attorney L. D. Lowell received word from the sheriff of LaCroese county Tuesday aft­ ernoon that Harder had been sentenced to three years in the state penitentiary at Waupun and Doss to one year in the reform school. They were charged with breaking into a car on the Green Bay division of the Milwaukee road, which act in Wisconsin is a peniten­ tiary offense. When their sentences have been served in Wisconsin they will no doubt be brought to McHenry county - to answer to the charges of robbing the Forn brothers. ACTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION. Chicago ft North-Western Planning to Build Mew Lincf. Illinois, Wisconsin, Northern Michi­ gan, South Dakota, Wyoming--this is a large field for exploitation and develop­ ment, and the plans of The North-West­ ern Line include important development in all these states. The first feature of these extensive plans is the construction of a line across Wyoming. This big commonwealth has a large area that is without railway fa­ cilities. The western terminus of the Chicago & North-Western railway in that state at present is Casper, the site of the old Fort Casper on the North Platte river, and the extension which is now being built Will carry the line di­ rectly across the central portion of Wy­ oming to the Big Horn river, across that stream and through what is at present the Wind River Indian Reservation to the beautiful Lander Valley, opening up thousands of square miles in the range country and furnishing railroad facili­ ties to the Wind River reservation, where one- and one half million acres of public lands will be thrown gpen to the homesteader by the government next June. Hardly less important is the new line across the western part of South Dakota from Pierre, the state capital, to Rapid City on the eastern boundary of the Black Hills. The Chicago & North-Western rail­ way is the pioneer line to the Black Hills district, and the present line into the hills was begun almost as soon as the Indians had sold the territory to the Government The new line across Da­ kota will effect a junction with the old line at Rapid City and will give Pierre and the range country an impetus be­ yond anything that has ever been done for the region. Deadwood and Lead in the mining district, Hot Springs to the south, and Belle Fourche, the big cattle -shipping point to the north of the Hills, will thus secure added railway facilities that will bring St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, the Lake Superior iron and copper country, and the hardwood dis­ trict of Wisconsin and Northern Michi­ gan in closer touch than they ever have been. _ 1 : Entirely different from the prairies of Dakota and the range country of Wy­ oming is this hardwood district of Nor­ thern Wisconsin and the Michigan Pen­ insula. Here the tracks of the North- Western Line join in close connection the industrial centers, the iron and cop­ per district of Lake Superior, the scores of lake ports all the way from Milwau­ kee to Duluth, and the great tracts of timber land that are awaiting develop­ ment and are filling up rapidly with set tiers. In this region the North-Western Line is constructing several different branches, one northwest from Mercer, one from Manitowoc on Lake Michigan, through Green Bay, another important lake port, north into the heart of the hardwood district; another line extend­ ing from Liaona, Wis., to the Menomi­ nee River at Saunders, Mich., a branch line from Green Bay to Gillette, etc., etc. Some of these lines are already practically completed, all of them join older lines of the Chicago & North-West­ ern System and each one promises to be an important factor in opening up the country for unprecedented commercial growth. Illinois and Southern Wisconsin are interested in this construction work in two ways: First--by reason of the heavy interest that the merchants and manufacturers in such cities as Chicago, Milwaukee and small centers of indus­ try will feel in the broadening and deep­ ening of trade in the territory which .is natnrally tributary to them; and second. by reason of the building and expan­ sion of facilities of The North-Western Line for handling traffic. In this con­ nection the work now being done be­ tween Chicago and Milwaukee forms one of the most interesting pieces of railway work at present under way in the United States. The two cities are abput 80 miles apart, and the new road, which will soon be completed, pro­ vides for a complete equipped, electric block signal, four track line of railway between them. Something of the mag­ nitude of the traffic between the two points may be gathered from the fact that the North-Western Line operates 21 fast passenger trains a day between them, a fast train for almost every hour in the day, and in addition thereto, scores of local trains to take care of the traffic for a nearly continuous chain of towns and cities along the picturesque shore of Lake Michigan.

Illness, the popular proprietor of the fire, which started in the kitchen, is not known positively, but it is thought that a spark escaping from the stove set fire to a basket of clothes, causing the blaze. The interior of the kitchen was considerably charred pmd only the im­ mediate hard work of the family and neighbors saved the house from being totally destroyed.

That McHenry has yet a chance to get the much-talked-of railroad is seen by the following article, which appeared in the Waukegan Sun recently; The Secretary of State licensed the incorporation of the Chicago, Des Plaines & Fox River railroad. The principal office is Chicago and the capital stock is $1,000,000. The road is to be construct­ ed from Chicago in a northerly and northwesterly direction through the counties of Cook, Lake> and McHenry, to McHenry in McHenry county. The incorporators and .first board of direct­ ors are: ' G. W. Bryson, Wm. S. Reed, Ernest T. RoSs, Walter C. Gunn and Wm. K. Kenly, all of Chicago. The incorporation of this railroad brings to light the plans of an entirely new project a project which some people knew was coming but of which the pub­ lic knew little or nothing. The men back of the enterprise are prominent men in railroad circles and the Mr. Reed referred to is interested in an interurban railroad running out of South Chicago. The other men have their hands in various railroad enter­ prises. As the incorporation papers state, the road is run through Cook, Lake and Mc­ Henry counties, with McHenry the des­ tination. It is learned that the company is a part of a large project which has for its termination Lake Geneva. The plan is to build the line north from Wheaton. A.t Wheaton it will connect with the third-rail system now running into Chi­ cago. From Wheaton the line will run through to Barrington in Lake county and then go north along the west part of the county to Wauconda. From Wan­ conda it will go to McHenry, McHenry county, and from there to Harvard, where a line now runs to Lake Geneva. Connection will be made with the Lake Geneva line at Harvard, and thus a con­ tinuous electric line from Lake Geneva to Chicago will have been completed. It is stated that the new company has all the capital that is needed to further the project and that it will be carried to a consummation early next year, and possibly work may start this fall.

"Two years ago our little girl had a touch of pneumonia, which left her with an awful cough. She had spells of coughing, just like one with the whoop ing cough and some thought she would not get well at all. We got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which acted like a charm. She stopped cough­ ing and grew stont and fat," writes Mrs. Ora Bnssard, Brubaker, 111. This remedy is for sale by G. W. Besley. Little One Called. Little Howatd Isaac Wentworth, the two- and-one-half-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth passed away at a quarter after nine o'clock last Tuesday evening, after a short but painful illness of acute capillaris bron­ chitis. The funeral will be from the M. E. church this (Thursday) afternoon at one o'clock^ The family have the sym­ pathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. Talks to Venice. Long distance telephone connections now make it possible for Pope Pius to converse by word of mouth with his old friends in Venice. This must be a great pleasure and consolation to the Prisoner of the Vatican. It is proof of his readi­ ness to accept modern ways of living, as his state papers have proved the readi­ ness with which he assimilates modern thought. Johnsburgh Couple Wed. At St. John's German Catholic church at Johnsbnrgh, at nine o'clock Wednes­ day moining, occurred the marriage of Miss Josephine Kline to Mr. George Wirfs, the ceremony being performed by Rev. H. M. Mehring. Both the young people are quite popular among their young friends, who join the Plain- dealer in extending congratulations. Mew Scenery at the Central.

The work of laying the abutments for the new bridge is progressing favor­ ably. The Batavia stone is being used. Miss Clara B. Owen left Chicago on Tuesday for Paris where she proposes to remain for about a year. The social event of the past week was the marriage of C. H. Beers of this vil­ lage and Miss Eva C. Jewett of Grant Park, and H. B. Tyrell of Nunda and Miss Jennie Beers of this village. Their many friends wish them much happi­ ness in their new venture. We learn that bnrglaro paid the store of J. W. Cristy, at Ringwood. a visit on Monday night, but succeeded in getting away with only $25 or $30 worth of goods. As winter approaches these ras­ cals are getting more bold, and our busi­ ness men would do well to prepare to give them a warm reception. Good aim and no quarter is onr motto. In our notice last week of the M. E. parsonage we said that Mr. Adron had raised about $1500 to build the parson- e. We should have said that $1500 in repairs had been made since Mr. Adron has been here, but a portion of it was donated. Nevertheless it was through the personal efforts of Mr. Adron and ne is entitled to great praise therefor. Croup is quickly relieved and Whoop­ ing Cough will not "run its course" if you use the original Bee's Laxative Hon­ ey and Tar. This Cough Syrup is differ­ ent from all others because it acts on the bowels. You cannot cure Croup and Whooping Oough until you rid the sys­ tem of all congestion, by working off the cold throngh a copious action of the bowels. Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar does this, and cures all Coughs, Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. No opiates. Sold by G. W. Besley, West McHenry, and N. H. Petesch, McHenry.

Although preparations have been un­ der way for this great event for several weeks the real work will not commence until next week, when rehearsals for the various programs will begin in earnest. The several committess have been instructed to use their entire efforts to bring the event second to none ever attempted in McHenry. If their instruc­ tions are fulfilled, and there is no n son why they will not be,the fair will far surpass anything of the kind ever at tempted in McHenry.

The question of injurious substances in medicines which has been agitating the minds of so many people, does not concern those who use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mothers need have no hesitancy in continuing to give it to their little ones, as it contains abso­ lutely nothing injurious. This remedy is not only perfectly safe to give small children, but is a medicine of great worth and merit. It has a world wide reputation for its cures of coughs, colds and croup and can always be reUed up­ on. For sale by G. W. Besley. Like Finding Money. To trade with McHenry merchants is like finding money. Where is there another town the size of McHenry where such bargains are obtainable as are of­ fered by McHenry merchants? Don't fail to read their ads. Their prices are equal to the lowest that Chicago depart­ ment stores are able to offer. This state­ ment can be proven any day in the week. Do your trading in McHenry and be convinced. Apple Blossoms la Geo. Meyers picked several fnll-blown apple blossoms off of one of his apple trees Wednesday morning, Oct. 11.
