Altbo there are a few (since the can ens) who say they that had chosen the winning candidates, there were but few on the day of the proceedings who conld tell what the result wonld be. For the presidency. Peter J. Freund and W . F. Hoi tarsn a very olose race, and not until the last few votes were counted were the clerks able to deterr mine which way the vote was going. The vote at the cloee of the final count stood 111 to 106, in favor of Peter J. Frennd, thns showing that the friends of the two candidate* were very evenly divided. The race for the village aldermanship proved quite as interesting as that of ihe presidency, the six candidates put­ ting np a hard and stubborn fight. Wm. Simes led the candidates with 118 votes, his nearest competitor being Henry Block, who had 108 votes to his credit. Frank J. Herbes came third with 103. The balance of the candi­ dates and the1 vote* received by each were as follow# A. M. Browu, 97; C. T. Eldredge, u6; N. J. Justea, 78. Since the canons a f*t*tion ticket has been placed in,the field, which will bear the namesof A. M. Brown and Wm. Bonslett as candidates for the office of village alderman. The placing of the petition ticket mean* that the election, which takes place i>pri> 16, will be even more spirited than was the cancae. The caucus brought ont 229 voters. HOT CAUCUS AT GRAYSLAKE.

In the basket ball gam** at Dundee last week the boys won from the Dun­ dee team by a score of 64 to 39. This was a hard fonght game, with no acci­ dents and few fonls, though the most strictly jndged game of tbe season. If the ability of our boys as players needed auy proof, it certainly received it in this game. The girls were defeated by a score of 16 to 8. They ware not able to play so well as at Woodstock, the short- as of the hall having much to do with it. The whole party attending the games was pleasantly enteitained. Mr. Ackert and Mr. Giesselbrecbt officiated in both games and certainly did so to their credit and the satisfaction of all. LrrUnt at Ui«l Church. Rev. Arthur Roberts, pastor.

Harvard Herald: At a meeting of tbe poor farm committee, held at the county farm at Hartland, bills amount­ ing to $1,043 were audited and ordered paid. There are 41 inthates in the coun­ ty house and at this meeting it was fonnd that it costs $1.48 per week to board them. Members of tbe committee present were: Supervisors Desmond, McConnell, Crissey, Mentch, Covell and Tbroop, the other member, Mr. Whip­ ple, being absent. Nnnda Herald: Thursday evening last a jolly crowd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Lock wood, at Ter­ ra Cotta, in response to invitations is­ sued in honor of Miss Alice Smith of McHenry. Everyone seemed bent on having a good time. Games, cards and dancing were the chief amusements. Supper, which consisted of coffee, sand­ wiches, cake and fruit salad, was served at midnight. At a late hour they de­ parted for their various homes, declar­ ing they had never spent a more enjoy­ able evening. In a letter to the Woodstock Repub­ lican, A. L. Francisco writes from Here­ ford, Texas: "We have beeu passing a new kind of winter--in fact, when com­ pared with Illinois winters, no winter at all. Farmers nave been plowing all the time, the ground not having been frozen enough to prevent the work. Building has bqpn going on continuous­ ly, as rapidly as material can lie gotten in, and carpenters, of which there sre a large number, can work it np. Many of the houses are engaged for rent be­ fore they are built, and of course rent is very high." Elgin Courier: Frank Fisk hits just returned from Fox Lake, where be bas beeu tor the past week looking after his interests on Indian Point. Mr. Fisk owns a large tract of land at this point, aud haS disposed of several lots this spring to Chicago parties. He said that since the dam was pot iu at McHetny the water is a great deal higher, and that the low water at the resort last snmmer would not heaBource of trouble this season. Many hunters are follow­ ing the sport at the lake at present. Several Elgin parties are contemplating building cottages at the lake this sum­ mer, and from all present indications it promises to be a favorite resort. Nonda Herald: W. A. Goodwin of Crystal Lake brought home from Bur­ ton's Bridge one day last week the big­ gest lot of fish reported to the Herald by any single fisherman in the last ten years. They were.practically all pick­ erel, measuring from a foot to two feet in length, and there were just forty of them ' They were jnst right for baking or frying, as the writer can attest from the sample furnished by Mr. Goodwin. F. P. Wilmington accompanied Mr. Goodwin on the fishiug trip and shared in the good luck. Tbe fish in Fox river are biting lively this year. A large nnmber of redhorse and black suckers have been caught, also a few pickerel. A great many were caught the latter part of last week, but tbis week they have not beeu biting so well. In speaking o° tbe Teachers' institute held at Woodstock last week the Wood- stock Republican, among other things, says: "Two societies were organized Tuesday afternoon--the McHenry Coun­ ty Geographic society, with Supt.

What do you give your cats for Sunday dinner?" "The regu­ lar fare," said the proprietor. "I would like you to make an exception iu the case of my cats," said the woman. "They have been used to special dished at home on Sunday, and 1 am surfe they wonld miss them vary much, t am willing to apay extra for the care and expense." "That," grumbled the animal man after acceding to her re­ quest, "is one of the peculiar phase* of »h>w business.
