H. F. Weber, a North-Western frefgBt brakeman, met with quite a' serious accident about ten o'clock Tuesday morning while in the act of coupling two freight cars The engine had just backed into a freight car on the side track near the old pickle factory, and for some reason the coupler failed to perform the duty for which it is in­ tended. The engine - was drawn for­ ward a few feet to. make a second •At­ tempt, when Mr. Weber jumped in to adjust the coupler. Not knowing that Mr. Weber was between the cars, a second brakeman gave the signal to the engineer to back up, with the result that Mr. Weber's right arm Was caught in between the bumpers when the two cars catue together. The unfortunate yonng man was at once taken to the Northwestern hotel, where Dr. Fegerb, the railway company's physician, at­ tended him. Upon examination it was found that amputation was necessary, but to this the physician in charge conld not obtain the young man's con­ sent until late Wednesday morning, when he found that the injured mem­ ber was virtually dead. He waa taken to Dr. Fegers* surgical roonre, where the arm was amputated just below the shoulder. The young man is now at the Northwestern hotel, where, altho suffering more than a little pain, he is getting along as nicely as conld be ex­ pected, considering the natnre of the injury. Central Opera Boose. The ooming of "On the Bridge at Midnight," the celebrated eomedy drama, will be an event of the dramatic season of this city. The play is not only of the genuine sort, in contrast with the sensational melodrama with its cheap effects and rough exaggeration, but it has an unequalled equipment of scenery, including the great bridge scene where the ingenuity of the dramatist, the pro­ ducer, the stage carpenter, scene paint­ er and actors blend into an unrivalled climax. The entire audience can «ee the "jackknife" open and shut and the impression made as a steamer passes thru this stage, drawn in perfect imita­ tion of real life, is never forgotten. Then there is an excellent story of the play showing how a blind and devoted mother courted every difficulty to find her kidnapped child Genuine comedy brightens all the acts and a clever com- y of actors fill ont an entertainment at is seldom or never excelled. Ger­ many, the professor, and Reddy, the bootblack, are two moat eneceasful comedy characters. Notice! Notice!

Bryan lectures at takfe Geneva tomorrow (Friday) eyening.V Atra recent horse sale at Nnnda the average price per head was $162.50. The large Knickerbocker ice houses at Crystal Lake have been filled to the roof. Besides this about four hundred carloads of the frozen water has been shipped into the city. / After a five-weeks' shut-down the Borden factory at Genoa Junction re­ opened for business last Friday morn­ ing. The public schools also reopened last Monday morning. The new McConnell Manorial hall at Richmond was formally dedicated on Sunday evening, February 34. Bishop Samuel Fallows of Chicago was the speaker for the evening. The yearly receipts from the Nnnda water works are about 4800. The year­ ly expenses are abont fSOO, leaving a profit of f5Q0: Nearly half of the water consumers live in Crystal Lake. Swenson Bros, of the GeUoa Junction Times have installed an elegant new Fairbaven printing press. Swenson Bros, are hustling young newspaper men and are getting out a very credit­ able looking sheet. William Sutter, night operator for six weeks at the C. & N. W. depot at Nunda, but who lost his job thru his inability to keep away from "booze," committed suicide in Chicago last week by drinking carbolic acid. The big boarding house ou Camp Lake near Antioch owned by Otteing Bros. Ice Co., of Chicago, waa com­ pletely destroyed by fire last week, and the loss is $10,000, partially covered by insurance. The building housed about one hundred men at the time of the fire, the origin of which is unknown. A Harvard man has solved the farm help question. His idea is to import a colony of Japanese from California The gentleman in question, who has had much experience among the Japs in California, says that with a little ex­ perience the yellow race conld made a valuable help to£be Illinois farmer. 'Tis rumored the Kenosha division of the Northwestern will be given much better train service in the early spring. As the report g«es the plan is to put on a morning train from Kenosha, running to Rockfora as a passenger train, giviug improved service to Genoa Junction, Hebron and Alden, and beyond Harvard to do innch of the work assigned to the 10:80 a. m. train as far as Caledonia. The idea seems to be to make passenget runs from Rookford to Kenosha and the trainis to make better time than they do at present Harvard Herald: Congress, which is now about to adjourn, has loo Red after those in the government service in the way of rural mail carriers and those serving fs city.parriers of mail in large cities in a manner that will be appreci­ ated by the public. AH rnral mail carriers will have their annnal pay in­ creased from $720 to $800, which is an advance of $15 per month. This salary is nearer the right figure than any yet presented. Rural mail carriers, whose work requires them to go over all kinds of roads thruout the year, earn the money they receive and patrons of the service will not begrudge them the in­ crease they are about to receive. The law will likely become effective July l. Nnnda Herald: It'a no go. Twice has Nnnda thrown herself into the arms of Crystal Lake and twice has she been rejected. The annexation proposition lost out in Crystal Lake at the special election Tuesday by a vote of 146 to 130. It carried in N unda by a margin of 5 votes--84 to 79--bnt lost in Crystal Lake by 16 votes. In order to carry it must have a majority in both villages. This is the second time the question has been put to vote. In the fall of 1894 the result went the same way, bnt by different majorities. Crystal Lake then cast 148 votes against and 108 for, while Nunda gave 87 for and 65 against. In other wolfls, two years ago the two villages gave a total majority of 28 votes against annexation and this year only 21--a gain of two votes in favor of annexation. To News --No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws would be needed, if the Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure is--and has been for twenty years. The National Law now requires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or pack­ age. For this reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. No poison-marks on Dr. Shoop's labela--and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it's not only ^afe, bnt it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chanoe, particularly with your chil­ dren. Insist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Compare carefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and see. No poison marks there! You can al­ ways be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Simply refuse to accept wny other.

' The score of the boys' game was 85 to 18, and the girls' 23 to 19. The girls' team is improving with every game and if the work continues to improve in the future as it has in the past the fair sex will have a "jim dan­ dy" team. The first boys' team having in their two previous games proven that the county seat boys were no match for them it was decided to give the "serabe" a chance to show their form last Friday evening. This th*y did in a manner that was more than pleasing to the fol­ lowers of the game. At uo stage of the game were they Very much crowded for the honors of the evening, hut just kept far enough ahead thruout the con test to feel on Easy street. The visit­ or* came here with a badly equi|>|>ed team, as two of their best phiyers were anable to come, and which undoubted­ ly accounts for the. poor showing made against onr seconds. Next Saturday evening the McHenrv first team will have »-s rht-ir op|v>n -nis the Chicag» West Side Y. M O A.

The little folks arrived at an early hour, donned in their masquerade costumes, all bent upon having a good time. As *oon as the last guest had arrived the merriment began in earnest and con­ tinued until the appropriate luncheon hour had arrived. Games, songs, mu­ sic aud laughter, intermingled with the fun that usually goes to make up a lit­ tle folks party, made the hours pass quickly by, the parting hour coming all too soon.

H., where they owned a half interest in a saw, shingle aud grist mill. They came to Illinois in 1849, arriving in Hebron township May 8 of that year, making the journey by way of the lakes as far as Waukegan, and thence by teams to their destination. Here they bought a farm, where they lived until the death of Mr. Brown, which occurred Dec. 11,1887, preceding his wife to the Great Beyond nineteen years. After his death she lived with her children, principally with her son, Jonathan. In 1883 she came to Ringwood, where she lived nntfl her death. Mrs. Brown re­ ceived only a commou district school education, the advantages being few in her girlhood days. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were pioneer settlers of Hebron township and en­ dured many hardships. They were often visited by theî neighbors, the Indians. Mrs. Brown was always a devoted wife and mother and was always ready to lend a helping hand to her neighbors and friends in time* of trouble. Those who knew her best loved ber most. She joined the Methodist church at Greenwood about thirty years ago, and about five years ago she united with the Universalist church, which repre­ sented the belief of her husband. Al­ tho her declining years had detained her from attending church for about a year she maintained implicit faith in a bless­ ed immortality until the summons came, when she bade farewell to earth's receding shores and sailed for a heaven­ ly port. "Hark!" they whisper, anRels lay, "Bister suirit, come away!" • What is this absorbs mo quite, Steals my senses, shuts ruy . • Drowns my spirit, draws my breath? Tell me, my soul, can this be death.' The world recedes, it disappears! Heaven opens on my eyes, my ears With sounds seraphic ring; _ Lend, lend your wings! I mount. I fly! Oh, grave! Where is thy victory? Oh. death! Where is thy sting? She was most patient during her suf­ fering and every want was ministered to by her family and friends. She was the mother of four children, all of whom, with the brother and sister, survive. She also leaves ten grandchil­ dren and nine great grandchildren, be­ sides many friends and neighbors to monrn her absence from their midst. H#r children's names are as follows: Jonathan S. of Ringwood; Francis C. of Owatonna, Minn.; Mrs Jane Elling­ ton of Crookston, Minn., and George W. of Fairfield, Washington.

FLOSSIE M'CANNON, On the morning of February 95, 1907, the spirit of Flossie MeCannon was, after a short illness, called to the higher life. She was the only daughter of Bert and Edith L. MeCannon of Ring- wood, and was born at Greenwood 'De­ cember 18, 1908. The fnneral was held on the 36th in the Methodist church at Ringwood. Rev. Arthur Roberts, pas­ tor of the Universalist chnrch at Mc­ Henry, assisted by the paator of -the Methodist church of Greenwood, eon ducted the funeral rites. Mr. Roberts used for the text of his sermon, *'Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the king­ dom of heaven." Mr. MaasfMd of Rockford, III., sang most tonchingly the beautiful selections, "My Home­ land" and "Face to Face." The trib­ utes of sympathy of many friends were richly expressed in earth's beautiful flowers--God's smiles, the emblems of the bright and better land. In the death of this interesting, prom ising child the parents have been called deeply to mourn, bnt only those who have experienced the loss of suoh a rich treasure can fully appreciate or know. How to gild words with heav' en's sunlight, to light the way to heart's affection under such affliction is almost beyond the power of mortal mind to do. There remains love and memory of what has been, and the hope of the future. These hold the precious jewel just passed from onr earthly vision, and as earth's witnesses of its having been here fade away these CARD OF THANKS. We wish to expreas thrnftUn yaper onr deep and sincere appreciation for the kinaneee shown and neln given as by our many friends during_the tisoe of our sad bereavement, the «M*II vof onr daughter, Flossie.
