At a recent meeting of the Nunda and Crystal Lake Business Men's asso­ ciation it was decided to close the busi­ ness houses at noon on all legal holi­ days, not to reopen until the following morning.

Of the first 100 targets he broke 99. A hundred years ago a -physician would give you a medicine for your heart without stopping to consider what effect it might have on the liver. Even to this good day cough and cold medi­ cines invariably bind the bowels. This is wrong. Bee's Laxative Cough Syrup with Honey and Tar acts on the bowels --drives out the cold--clears the head, relieves all coughs, cleanses and strengthens the mucous membranes of throat, chest, lungs and bronchial tubes.

When the religious ceremony was over with, a phonograph was placed on the casket and the as- semled mourners listened to the voice of the dead man singing one of his favor­ ite hymns. It is believed to have been the first case on record where the para­ dox of a man singing at his own funeral was Witnessed. If custom grows it may not be ont of the bounds of possibility that the dead may in like manner preach their own funeral sermons or at least give to the assembled friends the last medMge.*' ^ Nunda Herald: Dr. F. C. Ross of McHenry has rented the Buite of office rooms in the Mugge block, formerly oc­ cupied by Dr. Ryan, and is busy placing his dental equipment, which he is mov­ ing down from McHenry. He will at once commence practicing in Nunda, and later expects to establish his home here. He has a fine place on Fox river, at-McHenry, but expects to dispose of it and invest in property here, event­ ually. He was accompanied to Nunda Wednesday by his son, Clayton, who is a graduate of the class of '06 of the McHenry schools, and will enter the university at Champaign this fall. To the Principals. . , Two broods of the periodical cicada, or seventeen-year locust, are due in the United States this summer, one of them the seventeen-year brood and the other the thirteen-year brood. The former has heretofore been recorded in this state from the counties of Boone, Jo Daviess, Lake, McHenry, McLean, Put­ nam, Stephenson and Winnebago. The thirteen year brood is not known to oc­ cur in Illinois. I shall highly value evi­ dence of the occurrence of this insect in any Illinois locality, and write you, hop­ ing that you may use your opportunities to collect such information for me, to be supported, in all cases where practi­ cable, by specimens of the insect. This last precaution is necessary, since other insects are frequently mistaken for this cicada, Information so obtained will be used in my own reports, and likewise communicated to the United States entomologist. S. A. FORBES, State Entomologist. will Build anew House. Carpenters are at work on the John Stoffel residence, corner Third and Waukegan strtets. The old house will be moved to the south. end of the lot and a new modern residence will take its place, which will be occupied by Mr. Stoffel and family.

Tickets will be issued this week for a grand Fourth of July party, at Parker Hou&e, in this village. Friberg's orches­ tra of Chicago has been engaged to furnish the music. H. H.

The tickets for the Fourth of July party at. the Riverside House are now being printed, and will be ready for dis­ tribution soon. The Janesville Light Guard band will furnish the music. Hurrah for the 4th! McHenry was the scene of almost a fatal stabbing affray on Friday last. An old man by the name of Welsh was fish­ ing on the bridge when a man by the name of Jake Clary, who was full of poor whisky, came along and com­ menced abusing the old man in a shame­ ful manner. He stood it until he lost his temper when he'struck Clary with a large pocket knife, inflicting a danger­ ous wound over the right lung. Dr. Brown was called and dre6sed the wound and at last accounts he was doing well. No arrest was made. An Event In Sunday JotfrnaMsxn. The people of the , middle, west are rapidly discovering : that the Sunday Magazine of The! Chicago ^Record-Her­ ald is not only a real magazine but also one of the greatest in this age of maga­ zines. Its recent display of enterprise in paying $25,000 for the exclusive serial rights of Conan Doyle's new romance, "Sir Nigel," compelled even the editors of the famous monthlies to acknowledge the presence .of a new and powerful rival. When this was followed by Antho­ ny Hope's new ^enda: romance, "Sophy of Kravonlft,""TiB« reading world needed no further proof that the Sunday Maga­ zine of The Rword-Herald was able to capture the finest and most costly new fiction offered in England and America. Its illustrations and cover designs in color have from the beginning been of unsurpassed beauty and artistic grace. Its short stories,' descriptive articles, humor, poetrya nd sketches of all kinds are the choicest that the literary mar­ ket affords, many of them being written by the most popular authors and maga­ zine contributors in the United-States. In short, it is an entertaining, high-class magazine that will bear comparison with the best independent weeklies or monthlies, whatever the price. There is nothing else like it in American jour­ nalism. Dance.

This year the locals have been strengthened wonderfully and will put up a team that will far surpass the one of last year.

While placing a hay fork in his barn last Sunday Mathias Bowers, who re­ sides near Lily Lake, met with quite a severe accident. The fork had just been placed, with Mr. Bowers stand­ ing beneath it, when it suddenly be­ came loosened, falling down upon the man below, the sharp tongs entering the victim'8 stomach to a depth of sev­ eral inches. Drs. Fegers were at once summoned to care for the wounded man and under their care is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstanc­ es. The wound's being in a most ten der part of the body may prove quite serious. * Goes to Maywpodt Misstate F. Howe, who has taught in the primary department of the Mc­ Henry public schools for the past eleven years, has resigned her position here and accepted a position in the May wood, 111^ schools. Miss Howe, during her long connection with the McHenry school, has proved herself an excellent instructor and will be greatly missed iu McHenry, especially by the little folks of the primary. • Loses Kud of Thumb. p«T» Wegener, Jr., lost the top of the thumb on his left hand in a corn shell- er one day last week. Drs. Fegers at­ tended him and he is now getting along nicely. Mrs. Wm. Yeager, who at one time was a resident of McHenry and with her husband conducted the Riverside hotel here, passed away at her home in Waukegan at 11:20 o'clock last Tuesday night. Mrs. Yeager is the mother of Geo. E. Yeager, who just recently became a resi­ dent of McHenry. Her husband, Wm. Yeager, who preceded her in death some five or Bix years ago, at one time ran the steamer,' "Mamie," between McHenry and Fox Lake. Besides Geo. E. the decease^ leaves another son, Charles, and one daughter, Mrs. Wm. kelspy, both of Waukegan, to mourn her death. •• • - The funeral will take place at Wau. kegan tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. M.

Ddn't" forget the' special meeting of the M. M. M's on Snnday at 12:80, down by the river side. In spite of the disagreeable weather the M. M. Ms assembled at the home of Annie Miller- on Tuesday evening, a baby party being the chief attraction The children were requested not to bring their nurses, but a few on account of the lateness of the hour and haying so far to go, their mothers would no let them come alone, did so, but they were not allowed inside and were obliged to Amuse themselves, as--best they could, on the front porch and on the lawn. Various games were played and babies Cassinda and Kathrinda wejre at their best. Prizes were awarded to babies Lena, Mable and little baby Lill. Little Frances took the first prize for the prettiest doll, after which re­ freshments were served in the dining hall, the grand march being let by the biggest baby (1) On account of scarcity of high chairs the children were obliged to sit on the floor, and all the dainties which the children are so fond were served. At a late hour the guests departed for their various homes, feeling very grate­ ful to the Annie Ms for such an enjoy­ able time. Bitten by Boar. Jos. Draper was severely bitten in the left hand by ..a maddened boar last Sat urday. Mr. Draper had occasion to en­ ter the pen, when he was suddenly at­ tacked by a boar. The enraged animal threw its victim to the ground and in doing so seized Mr. Draper's left hand between its teeth, and before he could release himself from the animal's firm grip an ugly wound had been inflicted. Mr. Draper was at once brought to town, where the wonuded member was dressed at the office of Drs. Fegers. Although there is a chance of blood poisoning, the promptness in having the wound ' dressed will undoubtedly prevent this. OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN DURING THE WEEK.
