Hlirh School Ball Team Vint Defeat of SeMak. Meeta Sioknefti due to colds is making great inroads into our attendanoe reoord this week. The date for the game of basket ball with Dundee has been Changed to the evening of Friday, Feb. 15. The boys expect to play a picked town team from Dundee, and th© girls have been prepar­ ing to retrieve their defeat at the hands of the Dundee high school girls, if pos­ sible, and they aw playing a pretty good game. We expect this game to be bet­ ter than aay previous game here. Next Tuesday evening rooms 3 and 4 will give a patriotic program at the Central opera house. This is the anni­ versary of Lincoln's birthday and the program has been prepared as a study of the characters of Lincoln and Wash­ ington and an incentive to emulation of their devotion to country and right. We hope this program will receive the encouragement that it merits in the attendance ot the patrons and friends of the sphool. Whatever proceeds may result will be expended in the purchase of books for the school library, suited to the two rooms taking part. The ad­ mission will be 10 and 15 cents. ^ The boys met their first defeat in basket ball Tuesday ^iitht at Lake Ge­ neva. The score stood 49 to 81.

Prospects for the electric railwav from Marengo to Harvard, which a few months ago looked so bright, are now cloudy and uncertain. Mr. Browne, promoter of the line as contemplated, has stated all along that all the builders ask is an assurance that they could have the right of way without cost. According to the Harvard Herald only about $1,000 remains to be raised in order to secure the rfcht of way, bnt subscriptions are coming in very slowly. A young couple had just been mar­ ried a couple of months and still loved each other devotedly.,, He was in the back yard blacking his boots. "Jack," she cried (Ct the top of her voice'; "Jack, come here quiet t" He knew at once that she was in danger. He grasped a stick and rushed up two flights of stairs to the rescue. He entered the room breathlessly and found her looking out of the window. "Look," she said, that's the kind of a hat I want you to buy me;" Beginning next month the quadren­ nial peoiod for weighing the mails will begin. Every fonr years the govern­ ment orders that the mall from every station be weighed in the cars in order to determine the compensation to be charged for its transportation. Thg task will require three months, and means the employment of many extra men. Mail of till kinds and description will be weighed and classified and the work mnst Ije done thoroughly and accurately, Superintendents of the railway mail service, in charge of the many branches, are making many pre- pa rations for the weighing. It's a pleasure to tell our readers about a Cough Cure like DrvShoop's. For years,Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform or other unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for be has worked along similar lin^g many years. For nearly twenty years Dr. Shoop'B Cough Cure containers have bad a printed on them against Opium and He has thus made it possible for mother* to protect their children by simply' insisting' on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.

Labor organizers all ove* Illinois be- gau the invasion of the farm districts with the purpose of establishing a local union of farmers in every' rural com­ munity, The organizers will receive .their instructions from Secretary E. N. Nockels of the Chicago Federation of Laoor, chief director Of this branch of the labor movement in the state. The state representatives will not have to invade Lake county for the farmers are already organized iu this county and are already doing business which tends to raise the price of produce to them and generally improve their conditions ju«t as is done with the labor unions. According to Nockels, the 2,308 labor unions in Illinois will co'-operate in the campaigh. .He says there are 180,000 unorganised fir mere in the state, and it is the aim to bring GO per cent of this number into the labor fold before April 1, in order to insure the success of the central union "market," which it is proposed to establish in Chicago shortly.

The weather iu this section is more like April than February. "The man who is not suited with this kind of weather is hard to please. The iee harvest/on the pond has been progressing rapidly the past week, from fifty to seventy-five cars a day are load­ ed The mild weather of the past few days, however, has somewhat interfer­ ed with work, but still 'it did not etop thein entirely? The crop secu^d is ot the best quality. ^ ' H. H. Nichols has his cigar store and restaurant, next door to the post office, now iu full blast, %nd we must say bus one of the tastiest arranged and neatest places of the kind in the county. He keeps the choicest brands of cigars and tobacco, confectionery, nuts, oyster by the can, dish or bulk, pigs feet, pickled tongue, and in short if yon want a first- class lunch of any kind you can get it on short notice at "Tip's." It is a nice place that has been needed iu McHenry, and we trust it may be liberally pat­ ronized. We learn that reports are being cir­ culated in neighboring towns-that there is small pox iu this village, and for that reason many are afraid to come here. Now we wish to say to one and all tb»t there is not a single case of small pox at the present time in this village. There has been one case in the west part of towu and a mild cafee Of varioloid in the south part, bnt these two are entirely well, the premises have been well fr.nii gated, and all dangnr-of its spreading i» now passed. This state of thing* is dne to onr efficient hralth officer, Dr. O. 'J. Howard, who spent his entire time in the matter* and is certainly de^erviug of the greatest of praise.

Power 1« Supplied By lSO-H6rse Power , Kmelne--All Machinery Is New and 17p- Dale. ^ The West McHenry Flour and Feed mill is now in operation and jt present indications do not deceive us this new industry promises to be a financial.boom to'McHenry. , „ The writer had the pleasure of being shown thru the ne^ manufacturing plant by the proprietor, John Spencei1, and was quite agreeably surprised to find the gre£t improvements that h^d been made in and about the place dur­ ing the past several months. , Before going in|o detail about the mill in general we wish to introduce the new proprietor to our people. Altho he is already well knovyn to many of our people,, we make the introdnction for the benefit of those to whom Mr. Spen­ cer is an entire stranger. In his boyhood days ' our subject learned the trade of a machinist and long before his mind had been turned towards America he had become an expert in his line. Having studied the American ways and becoming very much interested in the advantages of- f$red*by the new world he came to this country from England, conducting a machine shop in Chicago for eight years. His next venture was to take up the milling business, iu which he has been even more successful than in his former work. He entered into the business at Wauconda nearly twenty-five years ago, where he successfully conducted one of the best floor and feed mills ever oper­ ated in McHenry or Lake counties. In July of Jast year a great misfortune befell Mr. Spencer in that he lost every thing he had by fire. Learning of the misfortune, some of our enterprising business men got together and induced him to buy the old Hanly mill, with the result that he is now the possessor of one of the finest flour and feed mills to be found in the state. The new enterprise occupies three floors and basement. The engine and boiler rooms occupy the south end of the bonding. The engine is a com pound 130 horse power of the Fitchburg make. It is of the very latest type, being bnilt for strength and economy The boil»r was especially made for the mill, also being of the latest type and will easily carry a 200 pound cold water Pressure. It ^carries the Hartford in­ spection and insurance. The smoke stack is sixty feet in height. A well ft-fet deep in the interior of the engine room furnishes an ample supply of water fof condensing purposes. The power is communicated into- the mill thru two immense shafts which ex­ tend from the engine room to the base* nient of the building Attached to these nhafts are two friction clutches by which the powerJs turned on or off to suit the demanc^ jThe entire east por tion of the basfcri'ient is occupied by shafting with the necessary pulleys and belting which drive the crusher, rolls, ntc , on the maiu floor. A lathe operat ed by a small gasoline engine occupies the north end of the basement. This machine proved a great money as well time saver in installing the parts of the machinery ami shafting. Turning to the southeast corner of the basement we are shown something new in the shape of a corn dump w^ioh will be greatly appreciated by the farmers, es­ pecially on a celd winter's day. The dump is so arranged that a farmer can back a load .of corn tdit and unload the contents without the use of a shovel. An endless drag-chain leading from the dump to the crusher feeds the machine below. \ Upon entering the first or main floor we find five double sets of rolle, an at­ trition mill, bins of all kinds, ston* for grinding bnckwheut and rye. On the second floor may be found an up to-date Haggeninacher plan sifter, middlings purifier, two wheat scouring machines, corn meal bolter, rye bolter, dnst col­ lector, roll exhaust and necessary shaft­ ing and belting to operate the machin- f «..

A high-grade floor will be manufac­ tured and placed on sale on the local market, Graham, whole wheat, corn meal and a breakfast food are also among the articles to be manufactured A good supply of chicken feed, etc., will always be kept on hand. Mr. Hpencer will have besides bts son, William, who is also an expert miller, two helpers. He will do everything possible to turn out the beet of goods and . produce the best' results. Mr. Spencer is a hustler in every sense of the word and will make things hum in his new qnarters from now on. It is now up to the people of McHenry and vicinity to do their part by giving him their patronage and doing every­ thing to boom the new industry thus obtained.

The voting place was at Otto Muehr- ckhe's and heqause it was the first elec­ tion the village has ever had (if being the election of its first officers since its incorporation was authorized), there was a great deal of interest manifest on every side. The men who live about Fox Lake are old-timers at the political game for they have always been active in county and town votipg, but this was their first village election and it proved a hot one. . > The Citizen's ticket won out almost two to one and Harry Dunnill defeated Fred Schultz for village clerk better than two to one, the vote being 63 and 37. The election was on clerk and trns- tees, the president and treasurer to be elected later by the directors. John G. Brown, postmaster at Fox Lake, was high man on the two tickets, his vote being 69. Harry Dunnill, for clerk, with 62 to his credit, was second in the last. The vote on the two tickets follows. CITIZENS'. FOR VILLAGE CLERK, , Harry Dunnill \ FOR VILLAGE . John G.
