The new law is very stringent as to Seining and should be read by those who make a practice of taking Ash with nets. Following are some of the provisions of the law: Yon must pay a license fee for each hoop net of 50 cents per year. And $5 for each 100 yards .of seiner - And $5 for each 100 yards of trammel net.- .. J • Yon may fish with hoop nets from Jane i to April 15 of the -snoceeding year in Illinois, Ohio, Mississippi, Big Wabush and Calumet rivers proper -for carp, dogfish, buffalo and cattish. Yon niMt not t?se a trammel net in any other place sxcspt as above provid­ ed. Yon most not catch black bass, pike, pickerel or wall eyed pike, commonly known as jack or yellow salmon, except by honk and line; when so caught with hook and line sach fish shall not be sold or offered for sale or shipment between the 1st day of September and the 15(|t day of April the succeeding year. You must not us^.a seine or trammel net between the boors of snnset and sunrise of the Succeeding day. Yon mast not ship any fish catight in any way in Illinois between April 15 and June 1 of each and every year. Every net must have a tag displayed in such a manner as to be at all times exposed to public view. Each J do yards of seine and eaeh .100 mm ift FQUMD NEAR RAILWAY TRACK8 SQ.UTH ®F HERE. yards .of trammel netaanst be provided with a tag so as to be at all times ex­ posed to public view. / Any devise except as above provided is an illegal * contrivance, except hook and line. ./ ^ . "* No license is repaired to fish .with hook and line. A license can»be procured from any oounty, city or village clerk. Anyone violating any of the provisions of this act will be fined not less than $25 nor more than $200. It wilt be seen from a pernsal of the above that a license is required for the privilege of fishing with any other con­ trivance than a hook and line, in fact, any contrivance but a hoop net, a seine or trammel net is called illegal with the exception of the implement so pop­ ular among the,disciples of Izaak Wal­ ton. The new law is hailed with joy by geal fishermen. ^ s" ;. EXCURSIONS TO WILMOT. Tw6 Trias Weekly to Be M«h bf Motor Boat, Aline. The motor, boat, .Alice, will two weekly trips to Wilmot, Wis., on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The boat on these days will leave the Riverside pier at 8 a. m. and will make stops at all points along Fox river, Pistakee bay and lake, Nippersink and Fox lake to take on passengers. The trip to Wil­ mot is the most magnificent in this part of the country and hundreds of pleasure seekers have made the journey this sea­ son. The route takes in all the most picturesque points along the river and several lakes, including the famons lotus beds in Grass lake. On Mondays. Wednesdays and Fri- U> T«WI» JNtoMav Kfsatpy -Borden Train «-r«sw 9f«k« IMaeoverr Viieadif Kv«ul«(. The iMxly of Eugene Erwin was found lying near the Northwestern railway tracks near the MeHeary Nunda town­ ship line by the crew of the Borden milk train late Tuesday afternoon. Conductor Benjamin, who runs thing McHenry twice daily1, morning and afternoon, is responsible for the finding of the body. "When he made hie ran out from Chiongo Taeaday morning he noticed a man lying near the tracks south of here brtt paid little attention to it at the time, but when, on his return trip in the afternoon, the form still lay in the identical spot where he had seen it in the morning, the conductor's mind was in a moment made up to the effect that the man was dead. Arriving at Terra Cotta the conductor at once wired Station Agent Buss asking him to inves­ tigate the matter at once., At the time the message was received Borden's milk tram was just about to pull south and in response to the message Mr. Buss asked the Borden train crew to stop and investigate. A telegram from Terra Cotta several pinntes later was to the effect that the crew had discoved the lifeless form a man lying just beyond the railway curve south of McHenry. The local section men started out at once on a hand car and whan the form was reached it" was at once recognized as that of Eugene Erwin. The body was brought to M«Henry and placedju the city hall Marshal Walsh sent word to the coroner at Harvard and also noti­ fied the relatives of the finding of the body. Erwin was in McHenry on Monday and some time during the evening left town, most likely to retarn to the farm of Geo. Ames near Terra Cotta where he has been employed for the past sev­ eral months. This is, as far as we are able to learn, the last time he has been seen alive by anyone. Just how and when he die<f will never be known, bat it seems to be the general opinion that he mnst have been takeu violently ill while on his way home and lay down to rest np. From all appearances he pas­ sed away some time in the forenoon as his face was quite dark and blistered from the sun when found. The inquest was held by Coroner Max* on of Harvard at the city hall Wed­ nesday morning. A jury composed of John Walsh, M. M. Niesen, Geo. R. Gilbert, J. B. Murphy, Wm. Simes and H. C. Mead was sworn in and after lis­ tening to the several testimonials a ver­ dict was reached to the effect that the deceased came to his death tbrr> weakening caused from the intense heat Mr. Erwin was about forty-five years of age and was a brother to Mrs. Geo; Frisby of this place. Besides this he leaves two sisters and one brother as follows: Mrs. Wm. Portman, Mrs. Jas. Heaney and Wm. Erwin all of whom re­ side in Chicago.

Richmond Qaaatto: An Italian sec­ tion hand was accidentally shot at Twin Lakes Sunday afternoon while out hunt­ ing. The particulars of the affair M near as we are able to learn are to the affect that the Italian bad started out on a hunting expedition and while walk­ ing along tbe railroad track he came upon a gopher, which he attempted to kill with the butt end of his gun. The force of the blow discharged the wea­ pon and the entire contents of the gan entered the Italian's breast, causing al­ most instant death. Wm. McKesson of Powers Lake held an inquest over the body Monday forenopn and the remains ware buried in the Cathobc cemetery north of this village. I will mail you free, to prove merit samples of my Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The Heart or The Kidneys. Troubles of tbe Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment ii treating the result of your ailment, and not the canse. Weak stomach nerves --the inside nerves--mean stomach weakness, always. And the Heart and Kidneys as well have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerve^ and you inevitably have weak vital or­ gans. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Re­ storative has made its faute. No other remedy even claims to treat the "inside nerves." Also for bloatiug, biliousness, bad breath or complexion, use Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book.

Pane* Away at KUfiwn Old Aire of Ki(htr-rin, After a suffering covering a period o: seven years, the angel of death, at thq hour of 12:30 last Monday' morning, took from this life the soul of Joba Cleary, a pioneer settles of this county. The call of bis Master was answered to with the greatest of willingness, as he had been a constant sufferer for so many years, death coming as a sweet release to his worldly troubles. The direct cause of his death is given aa Bright's disease. The deceased wae born in Coasty KUkezmy, Ireland, abont eighty-five years ago. He grew to manhood in his native country and in 1849, in company with his brother, Thomas, and family and two other friends sailed for this country. Arriving on thia aide of the ocean, their trip was continued by way of the great lakes to Chicago and thence to McHenry. After his arrival here the subject began working out for different fanners. He continued to work out for two years, at tbe expiration of which time he purchased the farm that now bears bis name and where he con­ tinued to reside up to the time of his death. In 1854 he was nnttsd in marriage to Miss Kathryn Frisby, who passed to the great beyond wme forty-three years ago. He was a few years later again married, this time to Marguerite Hoben of Waukegan, the ceremony being per­ formed in that city. His second wife also preceded him in death, passing away Jan. 5, 1891. Neither anion was blessed with children. John Cleary was always a most high- ly respected citixen of this township. He was a man of exceptionally good qualities, honest and upright in all his dealings, kind hearted and true to his friends and associates, and a faithfnl believer in the Roman Catholic church. In the passing away of Mr. Cleary the community loses one of its best citiaens. The funeral was held from St. Pat­ rick's Catholic church yesterday (Wed­ nesday) morning and was largely at­ tended, the Rev. Paul Boorke ing. , QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

Subject, "Conversion of the Jailor." A new sign adorns the front of the Riverside block, which reads, "Henry Colby." It takes the plaoe of the old sign of Colby Bros.

At a meeting of the town board, held at the town clerk's office on Friday, J. W. Cristy, supervisor, presented bis resignation, which, being accepted, F. K. Granger was appointed to fill the the vacancy. One of the most dastardly acts that we have heard of in mauy a day was ooinmitted at the M.

Sneak thieves, by cutting away a pane of glass in ,the west window of the J. P. Smith jewelry store, some time during last Friday nigbt, succeeded in getting away with three watches and Beven or eight eases. That it was the work of an amateur or amateurs is the belief as tbe watches and cases taken were of little value and jewelry of a great deal more value within easy reach of the thievish hand was left untouched. It was, no doubt, tbe work of locals and a close watch is being kept on those sus­ pected of having committed the deed. The stolen articles were all the property of the proprietor, so the customers have no cause to worry. Mr. Smith places bis loss at about fifteen dollars. Another Viet In* of Dos Bite. While driving to Pistakee Bay last Wednesday Roy Hankermeyer was at­ tacked and quite severely bitten by a dog on the right leg. The dog attacked Roy without the least bit of warning, but the young man finally succeeded in fighting the vicious animal away, not, however, before be bad received several bites.
