Parks and E. C. Joslyn started for their Wood­ stock home in the former's auto last Sunday evening. They were enjoying the beautiful evening breezes and tell­ ing each other how they were living the life of an aristocrat with the beautiful and trustworthy automobile, when all of a sndden the machine camfe to a stop. Upon investigation, the occupants dis­ covered that they were in the midst of a most beautifnl bed of wild flowers, weeds and rashes. The scene was one long to be remembered by the gentle­ men who had the extreme pleasure of viewing the beautiful sight This was scene No. 1. Scene No. 2: Occupants seen lying under machine, undoubtedly doing so to give them a perfect view of Jupiter, as both are skilled astronomers. This scene lasted between two and three hours. They at last decided that it was no night for* exploring planets of which they knew so little. Scene No. 8: Gentlemen seen hieing toward Mc­ Henry, with hat and coat in hand. Scene tw^ was evidently a most trying one, as the gentlemen were perspiring quite freely. Being firm believers in physical culture, and, thrn their trying astronomy work undoubtedly forgetting their machine, the two were seen enter­ ing the borders of onr village about two o'clock Monday morning. Scene No. 4: Monday morning, gentlemen seen pull­ ing into the county seat town, with the auto hitched in the rear of a team of horses and wagon. Actual time made between McHenry and Woodstock, 24 hours. This story to be continued on their next trip. Don't miss Uncle 8i,ct>*ra honse, Sat­ urday and Sunday eveningB. Dance.

Cared Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distress­ ing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fe­ ver, and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medi­ cines which seemed to only aggravate my case. Fortnnately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." Sold by G. W. Besley. Catch the Thieves.

When asked for her order she replied: "I guess I will have several frog limbs." A rural editor in Illinois observes: "We prefer living in a small town "where the people will sympathize with you in trouble, and if you haven't any- trouble they will hunt some np for yon.'1 Fred Banman, a wealthy farmer and highway commissioner of Barrington, was injured in a runaway Monday, July 80, and died the follov ing Wednes­ day night.

' Nunda Herald: The wagon contain­ ing two coyotes and a wild cat belonging tq the Greer-Star circus, which showed in Algonquin Tuesday, tipped over while entering the gate of the circus grounds. The driver, not knowing his business, drove crooked and crftmping the wagon, it tipped over and smashed. The coyotes and wild cat escaped. The wild cat was caught at once, also one coyote, but it was several hours before the other coyote was captured. There were five men on top of the wagon and three of them were hurt. I've sung of the girls that played at golf, of the girls who fish and shoot; I've sung of the maid who's not afraid to pose in her bathing suit. I've sung of the girl who weds a duke and lives Uncle Si Haskins. At Cenitiil Opera House Saturday ana Sunday in a palace , hall, and the footlight maids, with their lights and shades-- I've sung of them, one and all. Bnt now I will sing in a soft refrain, of the girl you would like to .know--the girl who can cook without paper Or book, the girl who can darn and sew; of the girl who never went far from home, is void of all social schemes; who is homely and neat, old-fashioned and sweet--the girl whom you see /in your dreams. Lake County Independent: After Au­ gust 1, a Lake county girl, Miss Lillian Tidmarsb, of Wauconda, will be a frontier school teacher. Upon that date she will open a school in a little shack upon her claim in the newest lands of North Dakota. Some months ago Miss Tidmarsh, with a party of Waucondans, went to Dakota and filed upon govern­ ment land which was at that time be­ ing opened to settlement. The little Wauconda colony was the first in the neighborhood, the whole prairie at that time beiDg vacant. Since then, how­ ever, many families have moved into the locality. Many of these have chil­ dren to be taught and for this purpose Miss Tidmarsh has been hired to con­ duct a school. The school room is her own little cabin. It stands out on the prairie, unprotected by shade, is simple and crude of construction, yet is, never­ theless, a school house, and there on the distant and treeless plain the youngsters are to secure a training equal to that the youths of Lake county reoeive in onr modern houses of learning.

Gage and wife are spending the summer with their daughter, Mrs. J. M. Smith, at Osborne, Kansas. Died, in Chicago, August 5, 1381, of dropsy of the heart, Joseph Doherty, aged 25 years, 10 months and 8 days. There will be a social party, for the benefit of the German school .of Mc­ Henry, at the McHenry House, on Mon­ day evening, August 22. There is to be a pigeon and glass ball shoot at Harry Dnnnill's, Nipper- sink Point, on the 14th. The steamer "Mary Griswold" will go np, leaving McHenry at 10:80 o'clock a. m. The Parker Honse, in this village, comes out this week with new landlords, which means Frank Parker anU L. D. Blacbman, W. Parker having leased his interest aud stepped down and out The new firm are both yonng men, too » ell known in this section to need any en­ comiums from us. Suffice it to say the Parker House will lose none of its former popularity under the new management. MoHenry had a genuine horse thief sensation on Friday last He was first captured by onr town constable but skipped away, swam the river and made his escape. Tally one. Later in the day he was re captured by our city marshal, lodged in-thecalab(ose, watch­ ed through the long hours of the night, but lo, in the morning, he again skipped. Tally two. Ghosts aud hobgoblins, armed with horse pistols and other murderous weapons, appeared in the evening, bnt as they insisted on going beyond "onr autority," there was no remedy. For further particulars see Chicago Times. The game of baseball between a pick­ up nine of this village and the Barring- ton club, took place at Wauconda on Friday last, and although the day was the warmest of the season a very re spectable game was played, which re­ sulted in favor of McHenry by a score of 15 to 11, ineignt innings, the game being stopped at that point on account of darkness. We have since learned that the Barrington club now claims the game because it was not played out If they are ball players they certainly must be familar with the rule which governs this point The facts are, we are told, the Barringtons were out­ played at every point, and to try to take advantage of darkness, and insist on playing by moonlight we should con­ sider a baby game. If not satisfied the McHenry boys are ready to meet them by daylight any day. The following is the score by innings: McHenry 4 1 8 4 1 0 2 0--15 Barrington . .8 8 0 2 0 4 0 0--11 Uncle Si Haskins at Central opera house Saturday and Sunday evenings, August ] 1 and 12. Price 25, and 50c, Were Merrily KatertainedT One of the most pleasant events of the season to take place in McHenry was that of the social given for the ben­ efit of the Universalist chncrh last Fri­ day evening.. The promises made by those who had the matter in charge were carried out to the letter and as a result, a most pleasant crowd returned to their various homee at the conclusion of the Evening's festivities. The lawn was most beautifully decorated for the occasion with Japanese lanterns, the tables being decorated with flowers. The program was given in the church find was listened to by an audience which filled the edifice to its ntmost capacity, while a large number of peo- pie heard the program from the lawn. Thej program was one of the most pleas­ ing that has been presented in McHenry in many a day. Especially were the numbers by ontside talent well received. In short, it was an evening of rare pleasure and enjoyment and those who bad charge of getting up the affair are truly deserving of much praise. One of the features of the evening was the drawing of numbers for a prize cake. In this, Miss Hiliebrand proved the luoky one.
