Woodstock showed McHenry last Thursday evening that there is one thing at least in which she is superior to McHenry and that is in bowling. Just how long the county seat team will remain the masters in this sport is not known, but from present indica­ tions we should judge that the next time MoHenry meets her Woodstock rivals on the bowling alleys the score will show that McHenry also baa* few good bowlers. • The county seaters came over last Thursday evening with a pretty good team of bowlers, who showed their Mc­ Henry opponents np in great style. but the locals promise to do better next time. The score of the three games as shown below does not indicate a,large score on either side, but the visitors seemed to have it on the locals thruout the entire game, winning with ease.

Richmond Gazette: A good joke was perpetrated on Mr. Rushton at McHen- jty last night. He was anxious to get up at four o'clock this morning and wanted an alarm clock. Will McCon- nell promised to get a clock, set the alarm for four o'cloclfi and place the timepiece in Mr. Rushton's room. In place of getting a clock Mr. McConnell got a three-year-old rooster that had a vigorous crow. The rooster was to give a morning salute at four o clock and repeat every fifteen minutes until the slumberer was aroused. The rooster got orders mixed and gave the first salute at two o'clock. ' It is not neces­ sary to tell what happened to the ropt- er when Mr. Roshton wokfe The most unique industry in Kenosha connty has been started in the village of Wilmot by George Winchell and George Faulkner, two well known reei- denta of the village, who have built a great pen for the fattening of German carp, and two men plan to practically have a monopoly of the market next winter. It has generally been believed that the German carp was a useless fish as a food product, but for the past two seasons the men at Wilmot have been making considerable money out of the sale of the fish. This year they have gone into the business in a novel man­ ner. A great pen has been built on the property owned by Faulkner, by dam ming up a small stream which is'a trib­ utary to the Fox river. The pen is hundred feet in length and twelve feet in width and hundreds of carp have al­ ready been captured in the river and placed in the pen. The carp are to be fed like hogs until the middle of winter when they will be taken out and sold. It is alleged that a Chicago produce house has agreed to accept all the carp that can be raised in the Wilmot pen. The carp must be taken from the riv­ er with the consent and under the di­ rection of the game warden, and he will be kept busy watching the seines. When the carp are placed in the pen they weigh from two to three ponnds and when ready for market it is alleged that they will tip the beam at from ten to thirty pounds. They bring a market price from six to ten cents a pound, ac­ cording to the demand. While the carp are not used for table in this section it is claimed there is a great demand for them in southern parts of the country, and added to this many tons are used annually in making canned salmon. Whenever there is a short year in the fisheries on the northwestern coasts the canners of salmon buy the carp in great numbers, and it is alleged that they form a good substitute for aalmlon when properly prepared. Married at St. Paul. St. Paul (Minnesota) Despatch: Miss Ruth Parrence, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Parrence of Annapolis street, and Frank Wesley Bennett, son of Capt. and Mrs. L. E.
