The writer had the pleasure one day recently of being shown thru the office of Dr. J. M. Larson and was most agree­ ably surprised at the fine shape in which be found the place. For the conven­ ience of those who may not be aware of the fact we will say that the doctor has & very complete outfit of the latest elec­ trical machines, including an electric cabinet, static machines, vibrator, mas­ sage machine, ozonator, X ray, ultra violet ray] resonator and high frequency macliines. These are the machines you have all read about of performing such wonderful cures. With these machines all diseases which are almost impossible to cure with medicines are being suc­ cessfully treated. Among the diseases that have been and daily are being cured with these electric treatments are rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh, deaf­ ness, piles, tumors, cancer, sprains, en-; larged tonsils, cou.-nuiption, skin dis­ ease, inflammation of the eyes, nose, throat, pain wherever. located, chronic bleeding, ulcers, varicose veins, insom­ nia, etc. The doctor informs us that during his short practice in McHenry- he has treated a number of cases right here in town with the greatest success with these wonderful electric machines.

A McHenry young lady found one of her mother's love letters one day last week. She substituted her own name and that of her fellow and read it to her mother, who at once forbade the daugh­ ter to have anything to do with a young man who would write such sickening stuff to a girl. The young lady then gave the letter to the mother to read, and suddenly the house became so quiet you could have heard the grass grow out on the lawn. The enforcement of the cigarette law in several places in Indiana has brought out a new scheme by the "hobo" fra­ ternity, now seeking winter quarters. The "hobo" drops into town, gets in range of an officer, rolls'a cigarette and puffs jauntily. He is arrested, pleads guilty to "smoking cigarettes, " and is sent to jail. Having nothing to do, he whiles away the hours playing cards and has three meals a day regulaly, at the city's expense. A Kentucky editor going off on a visit left his paper in charge of a minister. During the minister's stay in the sanc­ tum the following letter came from a mountain subscriber: "You know d--d well I paid my subscription the last time I was in Lexington. If I get any more such letters as I received last week I will 4ome down and manl hell out of you/" The minister answered: "I have be^n trying to maul that thing out of the editor for ten years and if yon will really come down and maul it out of him, then my dear sir, I have twenty members of my church that 1 will have you operate on." Marengo Republican-News: The city council did a very sensible thing when they bad constructed ^ place as police headquarters for the city marshal. It is located on the southeast corner of T. H. Gill's block on Prairie and State streets. Although it is not a very com­ modious place yet it is fitted up with many conveniences: fire alarm, tele­ phone and stove, and it is expected that the city marshal can be found there at all times when on duty except when patrolling the streets, making it exceed­ ingly convenient for those who wish to call him. This is snrely a great im­ provement over the past, when he had no regular headquarters,, as he nor any­ one else knew where he wonld be at any given time. Marshal Bonner will doubtless Boon have a grand opening day when he takes possession of the police station. Grayslake Times: J. L. Keenan of the Illinois Peat Fuel Co., Chicago, was here last Wednesday, October 11, ac­ companied by Mr. Langdon, who is a well-known expert and authority on peat. They put in nearly the whole of last Wednesday going over the peat beds on the sag, and testing the depth of the different beds. They took a large num­ ber of samples with them upon their re­ turn to Chicago, and which will be thoroughly analyzed by experts Mr. Keenan informed the Times that they discovered beds of peat on the sag from 6 to 14 feet thick, and apparently of ex­ cellent quality, and that the prospects for the immediate development of this industry in Lake county looked very bright Of course a great deal depends upon the result of the analysis of the samples they took to Chicago with them. Mr. Keenan said that it might also prove of interest to some of our readers to know that a man of wealth now liv­ ing in Louisiana stands ready at any time to invest $15,000 in an enterprise of this kind whenever the proper quan­ tity and quality of peat can be found. - Hmubm Vincera. ..

The guests l«d received dainty mis­ sives, quoting the old poem, "Turn backward, turn b»ckwsfdi Othne, to your flight; -V . . ; Make me a child again, juit for tonight." All the sweet little Marys, Nellies, Louisas, Hatties, Gertrudes, and the dear little Johnnies, Rays, Willies, Busters and Fauntleroys came with their pretty faces all aglow with smiles. A quaint drama, which was a com­ plete surprise to the host and hostess, and proved one of the rare features of the evening, was "The Suiggies Fam­ ily." Miss Irene McOmber, represent­ ing the Widow Sniggles, exhibiting her accomplished daughters, showed fine tact in bringing her family before the public; Miss Hat tie Lamphere, the ooqnette, with her smiles and gtances, proved herself an artist; Miss Howe, the hay fever patient, kept the gathering convulsed with laughter; Miss Mamie Granger, an {esthetic young lady, was utterly utter; Miss Maggie Ward, a prima donna, displayed rare vocal pow­ ers; Miss Louise Evanson, the pathetic soul, was equal to the occasion; Miss Zue Gallaher, the elocutor, showed great dramatic ability; Miss Florence Granger, the graceful girl, rivaled Ter- pischore; Miss Perry, the giggler and baby of the family, reached the climax. Songs, games and laughter followed. The punch bowl, sparkling with its delicious nectar, w&s a favorite resort during the evening. A tempting lunch­ eon was served by the hostess in her ihost charming way. As time would persist in her flight, she warned the guests of the approach of the midnight hour. They took their departure, but not before one and all had expressed his or her appreciation to their hospitable host and hostess, as an evening long to be remssubered. CENTRAL OPERA HOUSE.

Patrons of the Central opera house would do well to secure their seats in advance, as the bouse is not large enough to accommo­ date all who will want to see this fam­ ous attraction, afternoon and "evening, Thursday, Nov. 80, 1905. Teachers' Meeting. The eastern division of the Northern Illinois Teachers' association will hold a meeting at Aurora on Friday and Sat­ urday, November 8 and 4. The rail­ roads will grant« rate of one and one- third fare for the round trip. Inasmuch as McHenry county has been specially honored by this organization in making Supt. R. G. Jones of Harvard their vice- president and by placing Snpt. C W. Hart of Woodstock on the program as one of the prominent speakers, it is our duty as an organization to send a large delegation to this meeting. This asso­ ciation does not exist solely for the ben­ efit of the grade teachers, but it has much to offer for the inspiration and practical benefit of the country teach­ ers. Therefore, we would urge all country teachers who can possibly do so to attend this meeting. Badges for the McHerrv county delegation will be printed and then distributed through the agency of the principals and super­ intendents of the various village and city schools. Those who wish to do so can go from Elgin to Aurora on the electric line. The cars leave Fountain Square in Elgin on the even hours. Doctors Said He Would Not LITC. Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes "After doctoring for i wo years with the best physicians in Waynesburg, and still getting worse, the doctors advised me if I had any business to attend to I bad better attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month as there was no cure for me. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a friend, and I immediately sent my son to the store for it, and after taking three bottles I began to get better and continued to improve nntil I waa entire­ ly well.

Miller of Johnsburgh, the cer­ emony being"performed by the pastor of said church, Rev. M. W. Barth. Promptly at the above named hour the bridal couple, attended by Misses Gertie Weber and Susie Miller and Messrs. Will Weber and John Miller, marched up the center aisle of the church to the altar, where the solemn words were spoken which made the two man and wife.

The groom was attired in the customary black. Immediately after the ceremony at the church the happy young couple made their way to the home of the groom's father, who resides about two miles northeast of Johnsburgh, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast Was awaiting them. The reception at the home v as attended by a large number of relatives and friends, who, before leaving, left a beautiful outlay of wed­ ding gifts for the newly married couple. In the evening a wedding dance was given at the McHenry House hall, which was also largely attended. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mis. Anton Weber and has made Mc­ henry her home during her entire life. She has always been a great favorite with her many associates and friends, and her absence from St. Mary's choir, of which she has been a member for the past several years, will be very noticeable. For the man of her ohoice she will make a good helpmate, being possessed of all the qualities which go to make the home happy and comfort­ able. The grooin is the son ot Mrr Johu Miller of Johnsburgh. He is a black­ smith by trade and has before him a bright future. He claims Johnsburgh as his home, but has lived at Spring Grove for several years, where he has worked at his trade.

FRED SCHNORR. Basket Ball Friday Kveatag. The first game of the season will be played at the city hall tomorrow (Fri­ day) evening when the first and second teams of the Crystal Lake high school meet the local teams. The Crystal Lake teams have already played several games this season and put up a good article of basket ball. The locals strength has not as yet been tested this season, bnt judging from the practice they are putting in they will make the visitors go some to win. It is np to the public to decide whether or not the com­ ing season will be successful or not by their attendance at the games. Last season the school teams made a very creditable showing as far as the playing was concerned but the financial report was auything but good. The proceeds of last season barely covered the small expenses attached to the sport. Show your appreciation of the efforts of our athletes by your attendance at the game Friday evening. General admis­ sion to game 15 cents, reserved seats 25 cents. Turn ont and root for the boys of McHenry high school. Is Severely Kicked by Horee. James Sayler, son of Wm. A. Sayler, was quite severely kicked by a horse last Monday evening. Young Sayler was just about to enter a stall occupied by a horse which bad just been turned in from the pasture, when, like a flash, the animal became suddenly frightened by the young man's unexpected appear­ ance and kicked him full in the face, knocking him down on the hard cement floor of the barn. The victim's face was frightfully mangled. Dr. Hepburn of Ringwood, who was summoned at once, took several stitches in closing the wounds and although suffering great pain, Jamie is getting along as well as could be expected under the circum­ stances. No Halloween Dance. Owing to the fact that the young peo­ ple of McHenry are planning several Halloween parties to take place during the week ending November 4 the man­ agement has decided to hold the regular Saturday night dance instead of the Old Time Halloween party as adver­ tised in these columns last week. The dance will take place at Stoffel's ball Saturday evening, Nov. 4, and a general invitation is extended to alL Sylves­ ter's orchestra wlllbe on band to furnish the music. Nothing to Fear. The question of injurious substances in medicines which has been agitating the minds of so many people, does sot 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 Bafe to give small children, bnt 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 relied up­ on. For sale by G. W Besley. Get Your Feed Groaed at Wm. Bonslett's.
