Mead and family are now en- joyiog the clime of southern Texaa, beta# located at Lyford station, near BrowanriU^. the latter city being their postofflfee address. Mr. Mead writes that the family are all well and that the new town of Lyford is growing quite rapidly. Upon their arrival there, only a few people made np the population of the town but now the population has already increased to nearly two hundred souls and new families coming w al­ most constantly. Almost the entire population is living in tents but homes are being built as rapidly aa possible. Brownsville is located just across the Mexico and Texas line and just opposite Brownsville lies Matamoros, the place where many bull fights take place. Be­ ing quite anxioos to witness one of the much talked of fights Mr. Mead took his family to the Mexico city the day following their arrival at their destina­ tion. For their visit toL the fight the family felt quite amply repaid, at least 38 Myra did, as she had the honor of being the lady chosen to hold the cape of the fighter. As is the cnstom at the ball fights the bull fighter is granted the privilege to select a lady from the spectators to hold his cape while the fight is in progress. The fighter, after a very close observa­ tion, selected Miss Mead as the honored one. In case the fighter loses his life during the battle, the cape, which is a valuable one, remains the property of the choeen lady; should the fighter come out victorious, however, the cape is returned and the lady taken out for a day's sight-seeing. In this instance the fighter won the day's honors, suc­ ceeding in killing the'ferocious bull, altho three horses which were ridden by the fighter's assistants were killed and one of the men hurled over/the fence by one of the bull's mad attacks. The man was not badly hurt, however. Following their custom, Miss Mead was taken out the following day and shown all the notable places. She was introduced to all the high officials of the city and also to the army officers, who took their soldiers out for a special drill for the special benefit of their guest of honor. Miss Mead was very highly pleased with the excellent treatment received at the hands of the Mexicans and was very fortunate, indeed, in be­ ing the one selected. the the &iea $ t H were V .»> 'Frisby Sunday.

J The following clipping wai sent to ns for pablication, Mrs. McCormick was at one time a resident of MoHenry, her oiaiden name being Bueklin. Grand Forks, N. D., Nor. tragic mystery of four years' standing, which at the time made a tremendous sensation in Grand Fovks, was uncover­ ed thru a singular circumstance, which narrowly escaped resulting in a similar tragedy. On the morning of Jnly 6, 1902, the residents of Grand Forks, and of the entire state as well, were startled by the announcement that the dead bodies of Mr. and JArs. Charles McCor- mick had been found in the bath room of their home on University avenue*. An inquest failed to disclose the cause of death, and the tragedy has ever since remained a profound mystery. Mr. and Mrs. MoCormick returned from a drive about 9 o'clock, and a lit­ tle later announced to their daughter their intention of talcing a bath. They entered the bathroom together, and were heard conversing, but nothing could be distinguished as to what was said. About 10:80 their son went to the room to see what detained them so long. <He received no response to his repeated calls, and, forcing the door open, found them both apparently asleep m the bath tub. His endeavors to awaken them were fruitless and Dr. Wheeler was summoned by telephone. He hastened to the house and found them both dead, with indications of poisoning. Their clothes were scatter­ ed about the bathroom. A jag of beer stood on the floor near the bath tub and had apparently been partially consumed. Mr. McCormick was lying stretched at full length in the tub, while Mrs. Mc­ Cormick .stretched at full length at his feet. Asphyxiation was suggested, but was not believed possible, as there was no smell of gas in the room when the physician arrived and the gas jet which lighted the room was turned off. Con­ ductor and Mrs. McCormick had lived in Grand Forks 'ever since their mar­ riage eighteen years before, and Mr. McCormick had been in the employ of the Great Northern for many years. The beer in the jug was analyzed, bufr nothing in the way of poison was found. Altho the mystery was unsolved the im­ pression was quite general that Mr. and Mrs. McCormick had in some way end­ ed their lives by snicide and the case cast a gloom over the entire community. The young daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. McCormick had the most profound sympathy in their awful bereavement. The daughter, Addie, has since become Mrs. Edward Walsh, and after a resi­ dence elsewhere for several years had recently moved into and now occupies the family residence on University avenue. Yesterday morning Mr. Rus­ sell Rinde, of Grafton, a student at the state university, who occupies a room at the house, went to the bathrom for a bath. A short time afterwards pe­ culiar moans aqfl sounds were heard, evidently from the bathroom. A hur­ ried investigation revealed Mr. Rinde stretched at full length on the floor and in an unconscious condition. Prompt measures were taken to resuscitate him and Dr. Campbell was hastily summon­ ed. After a half honr's heroic efforts consciousness was restored and a narrow escape from death was averted. There was no smell of leaking gas, but rather a heavy and dead air pervaded the room, notwithstanding the ventilator in f$e room was open. Dr. "Campbell made a very careful study of the cir­ cumstances and has concluded beyond any doubt that Mr. Rinde suffered from partial asphyxiation. The bath room is very small, with a low ceiling, and the large gas heater usetl up all the supply of oxygen in the room without attract­ ing his attention; That Mr. and Mrs. McCormick met their fate in the same manner Mr. Campbell says there am be no question whatever. Ia their case, in addition to the gas heater, there was the lighted gas jet and the oxygen they both consumed and they evidently had tarried for some time with their bath. In this small room with no escape for the fumes of the gas heater, the poison was so subtle that neither discovered the situation, and the corner's verdict failed to discover the manner in which they had met their death. The dis­ covery at this date will come as a relief to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. McCormick and their family both in the city and over the state. Snrprlses the Woodmen. While dedicating their new hall over the D. G. Nellin blacksmith shop last Wednesday evening the Woodmen were given a genuine surprise by their wives and the Royal Neighbors who dropped in on them in a body. The evening was one of extreme pleasure, and at a late hour dainty refreshments were par­ taken of, which had been provided by the surprisers. , PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT tftr • PiMpcrnat and Season ia McHenry.

Good goods The McHenry canning factory is in receipt of many urgent letters from wholesale houses and jobbers offering good, profitable prices for all the goods the plant can pack Jhe coming season. Wm. M. Hoyt Co.offers to contract for 96,000 cans of tomatoes alone. Good prices are offered, for corn, pumpkins, etc., and with a stock of $1,800 worth of can8 in factory from last year the plant bids fair to be highly successful to all concerned--stockholders, producers of crops and employee, the coming Beacon. The officials of last season are entitled to credit and sympathy for the thank* less task they performed free of all charge in the effort to build up an in­ dustry entirely new to them all, rather than to censure and ingratitude. Bear in mind that we must all profit by the school of misfortune, and the officials desire your honest co-operation in all matters to help place this new industry on a profitable basis, and have it become a safe, permanent industry in our town and surrounding country. Active steps are taken to secure a competent proc­ essor who will take some stock and have some financial interest in the plant, and also add one more family to the town. The refuse from tomatoes will be made into catsup, and this item alone will lessen the expense materially. Great care is exercised in the selection of the best tested seed's aud plants and it is urged on all to make early con­ tracts, select as near as can be the same class of land, cultivate alike and thus have the crop ready for the factory at practically the same time and thus se­ cure the best results from labor and other expenses. Employment will be given while schools are not in session, and many will earn good wages who otherwise would be idle. A great per cent of all foods need in this age are in tin cans and the canning industry Is here to stay, and this factory can be made a success with the healthy, friend* ly working together on the part of all concerned. Arrange at onoe to contract and save the company the expense of soliciting your acreage, as this saving will resnlt in a profit to yon. Factories of this class are operated successfully all over tiie country--why not here? All produce raided according to contract will be accepted and worked up--none wasted--no one turned away with ac­ ceptable goods in proper season. The company has an offer of a good proc­ essor who works three months for $150 thus saving $450 to $550 on that item alone. For further information apply to William Bonsjett, manager, or C. L. Page, secretary. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY AND VH ADJACENT COUNTIES.

Man Who Manufactures Srrap l« Vtonrteff the Country. ; Waukegan Daily Snn: Wankegan people on the sonth and north sides who within ten days have purchased an al­ leged table syrup from an agent from ont of town did not know what thay were getting or they wenld newer have bought as they- did. The agent, alleged to have been from Chicago, made his headquarters at a local livery stable, where he manu­ factured the alleged villainous com­ pound and whence he delivered it in a buggy by the five-gallon keg. Whether the agent was an advocate of the pure food law or not is an open question. This is how he made his syrup, it. is reported by eye witnesses. Taking a pail from which a few mo­ menta before the horses in the stable had fed, dirty as it was and covered with the saliva from the horses'mouths, he put ether, sugar, color, water and other chemicals into the receptacle and stirred the whole thing with a paddle until it was of the consistency of molasses. This is the staff that he is alleged to have sold for a "fine table syrnp." The mixture had a pleasant taste and contains no poisons, it is said. It was only a raw chemical compound that people in their sober senses would fight shy of. The stuff, which waa tasted by the employes of the stable, is described 'as having a pleasant strawberry flavor and a black color. Put np in five and one gallon bsrrels it looked good, smelled good and tasted good. The "manufacturer" is alleged to have worked in the city for nearly a week, driving about in his buggy and taking orders, them coming back and making the "syrup" in the horse pail. He got a good price for his wares and different people estimate the amount sold as between fifty and one hundred gallons, ail among ignorant people, it is said, people looking for something cheap and wholeeome. > It is claimed that the man oould not be prosecuted) as he is said not to have represented his wares, merely kept still as to how it was made aod of what. The game is a new one. Its alleged originator left Waukegan Tuesday. OUR WEEKLY ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT DURING THE WHK.- 0 . Breaks Lev In Fall.
